The existing conventional methods for removing material heads mainly include manually cutting off the material heads and in-mold hot cutting. Among them, manually cutting off the material heads not only consumes a lot of time, but also increases the labor cost; while in-mold hot cutting integrates the process of cutting the material heads in the mold. Specifically, when the mold is closed, the material heads are cut off, and the two ends are extruded by the ejector pins to discharge the material heads. Although this can improve the working efficiency and product quality. However, it will make the mold structure complex, and during the process of cutting the material heads, there is a risk that the material heads will fall off and get stuck in the mold, resulting in defective products.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0042] As Figure 6 shown, the mold 100 claimed in this application is used for injection molding products 200. Here, the product 200 includes a plurality of cable ties 210, and the plurality of cable ties 210 are connected by a sprue 220, so that the mold 100 can simultaneously prepare a plurality of cable ties 210 at one time. Specifically, a row of cable ties 210 is formed on each of the left and right sides of the sprue 220.

[0043] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the mold 100 provided by the present application includes a mold body 10, a cutting head assembly 20, and a thimble assembly 30. The mold body 10 includes an upper mold 11 and a lower mold 12. The upper mold 11 is movably installed on the lower mold 12. When the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12 are closed, a cavity 101 can be formed between the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12. Moreover, the mold 100 can injection-mold a product 200 in the cavity 101; the cutting head assembly 20 includes a shovel base 21 and a slider 22. The slider 22 is slidably installed on the lower mold 12. The shovel base 21 penetrates through the slider 22 and is connected to the upper mold 11. Also, the shovel base 21 can push the slider 22 under the drive of the upper mold 11 to drive the slider 22 to slide on the lower mold 12 and shear the material head 220 on the product 200 located in the cavity 101; the thimble assembly 30 is movably installed on the lower mold 12 and penetrates through the slider 22. Moreover, the thimble assembly 30 can eject the material head 220 cut by the slider 22 out of the cavity 101. Here, the stroke when the slider 22 slides on the lower mold 12 can completely cut the connection between the material head 220 and multiple tie straps 210 in the product 200.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, during the mold opening process of the mold 100 of the present application, the upper mold 11 drives the shovel base 21 to drive the slider 22 to slide on the lower mold 12. During the sliding process of the slider 22, in-mold hot cutting of the material head 220 on the product 200 can be realized, and then the thimble assembly 30 is used to eject the material head 220 cut by the slider 22. This can effectively solve the problem of the material head 220 on the product 200, avoid the retention of the material head 220 in the mold 100, and ensure the yield rate of the products prepared by the mold 100; at the same time, since the slider 22, the shovel base 21, and the thimble assembly 30 can be improved on the basis of the original mold, the mold 100 has a simple structure, stable operation, and is easy to maintain.

[0045] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, a groove 221 is formed on the slider 22. The groove 221 is arranged in the cavity 101 and communicates with the cavity 101; among them, at least part of the material head 220 is injection-molded in the groove 221. Here, the connected part of the material heads 220 in the two rows of tie straps 210 is arranged in the groove 221 of the slider 22, so that during the sliding process of the slider 22 on the lower mold 12, the cutting of the connection between the material head 220 and multiple tie straps 210 can be realized.

[0046] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, a through groove 222 is formed in the slider 22, and the shovel base 21 passes through the through groove 222. Moreover, the diameter of the through groove 222 is larger than the outer diameter of the part of the shovel base 21 located within the through groove 222. Among them, a pushing convex part 223 is arranged in the through groove 222 of the slider 22. The pushing convex part 223 is arranged on the movement path of the shovel base 21, and the shovel base 21 can push the slider 22 to slide on the lower die 12 through the pushing convex part 223. So that the shovel base 21 can push the slider 22 to slide on the lower die 12 through the pushing convex part 223 while moving, and meet the use requirement of the shovel base 21 for driving the slider 22 to slide.

[0047] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the pushing convex part 223 has an arc surface 2231, and the arc surface 2231 abuts against the shovel base 21. That is to say, while the shovel base 21 follows the upper die 11 to leave the lower die 12, the shovel base 21 can act on the arc surface 2231 of the pushing convex part 223 and realize driving the slider 22 to slide on the lower die 12. Here, a mating surface 211 matching the arc surface 2231 is formed on the shovel base 21. In this way, by using the structural characteristics of the arc surface 2231, the smoothness of the shovel base 21 pushing the slider 22 through the pushing convex part 223 can be improved.

[0048] As Figure 2 、 Figure 4 shown, the blanking head assembly 20 further includes a first elastic member 23. The first elastic member 23 is arranged on the sliding path of the slider 22 and abuts against the slider 22, and is used to drive the slider 22 to elastically reset, so that the automatic reset of the slider 22 when sliding on the lower die 12 can be realized. Here, the first elastic member 23 is configured as a compression spring, and the number of compression springs is two. The two compression springs are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the slider 22. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first elastic member 23 can also be configured as a rubber sleeve, or other highly elastic elastic fittings, and the number of the first elastic members 23 can also be one, three, or even more. This will not be elaborated here.

[0049] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, at least part of the first elastic member 23 is arranged within the slider 22 and abuts against the slider 22 and the lower die 12 respectively. Here, a spring groove 224 matching the first elastic member 23 is formed on the slider 22, and the first elastic member 23 is partially inserted into the spring groove 224 and abuts against the slider 22, so that the slider 22 can limit the assembly of the first elastic member 23, and in this way, the stability of the first elastic member 23 driving the slider 22 elastically can be improved.

[0050] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, an avoidance surface 212 is provided on the shovel base 21. The avoidance surface 212 is used to avoid the pushing convex portion 223, so that the slider 22 can be reset under the elastic pushing of the first elastic member 23. When the shovel base 21 pushes the pushing convex portion 223, once the pushing convex portion 223 moves to the avoidance surface 212 of the shovel base 21, the shovel base 21 can release the driving of the pushing convex portion 223. In this way, the compressed first elastic member 23 can drive the slider 22 to slide and reset on the lower die 12, and meet the usage requirement that the first elastic member 23 drives the slider 22 to elastically reset.

[0051] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 shown, the ejector pin assembly 30 includes an ejector pin 31 and an insert pin 32. The insert pin 32 is telescopically installed in the slider 22, and the insert pin 32 can abut against the stock head 220 located on the slider 22. The ejector pin 31 is arranged corresponding to the insert pin 32. The ejector pin 31 is arranged below the corresponding insert pin 32, and the ejector pin 31 can drive the corresponding insert pin 32 to push the stock head 220 located on the slider 22. The insert pin 32 can slide on the lower die 12 following the slider 22. When the ejector pin 31 is directly below the corresponding insert pin 32, the ejector pin 31 can push the stock head 220 on the slider 22 through the corresponding insert pin 32. In this way, the usage requirement that the ejector pin assembly 30 ejects the stock head 220 on the slider 22 during operation can be met. That is, the setting of the ejector pin assembly 30 does not affect the usage requirement of the slider 22 slidingly installed on the lower die 12.

[0052] Preferably, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 shown, the number of insert pins 32 is configured to be multiple. The multiple insert pins 32 cooperate with each other and are jointly used to push the stock head 220 on the slider 22, so as to ensure that the ejector pin assembly 30 can eject the stock head 220 cut by the slider 22 during operation. Here, the parts of the stock head 220 between the two rows of tie straps 210 are respectively provided with left and right insert pins 32 and ejector pins 31 corresponding to them.

[0053] As Figure 4 shown, the ejector pin assembly 30 further includes a second elastic member 33. The second elastic member 33 is arranged corresponding to the insert pin 32. The second elastic member 33 is sleeved on the corresponding insert pin 32 and abuts against the slider 22 and the insert pin 32 respectively, and is used to drive the insert pin 32 to elastically reset, so that the ejector pin assembly 30 can use the second elastic member 33 to automatically reset the insert pin 32 when it slides in the slider 22. Here, the second elastic member 33 is configured as a spring, a rubber sleeve, or other highly elastic elastic fittings.

[0054] In summary, when manufacturing the product 200 with the mold 100 of the present application, during the process of opening the upper mold 11 of the mold 100 from the lower mold 12, the lifting base 21 is driven to move relative to the slider 22. By using the pushing of the lifting base 21 against the pushing convex part 223 on the slider 22, the driving of the slider 22 to slide on the lower mold 12 can be realized, and the hot in-mold cutting of the feeding head 220 on the product 200 can be achieved. After that, the ejector pin assembly 30 can be used to eject the feeding head 220 cut by the slider 22. In this way, the problem of the feeding head 220 of the product 200 can be effectively solved, the retention of the feeding head 220 in the mold 100 can be avoided, and the yield rate of the product 200 prepared by the mold 100 can be ensured. Since the slider 22, the lifting base 21 and the ejector pin assembly 30 can be improved on the basis of the original mold 100, and the movement of the upper mold 11 during the mold opening of the mold 100 is used to complete the cutting of the feeding head 220 of the product 200, the mold 100 has a simple structure, stable operation and is easy to maintain.
