[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3The utility model provides an embodiment: a modular injection mold for a shift fork, including a fixed model frame 13, the fixed model frame 13 is made of high-strength alloy steel, has excellent rigidity and stability, and can withstand high pressure and high temperature during the injection molding process. A frame positioning block 7 is arranged on the top of the fixed model frame 13, and the frame positioning block 7 is made of precision-machined hard alloy material to ensure accurate positioning during the mold closing process. A rectangular array of mold guide sleeves 1 are arranged inside the fixed model frame 13.

A fixed model cavity 14 is arranged on the top of the fixed model frame 13, and a shot assembly is arranged on the top of the fixed model cavity 14. A locking assembly is arranged on the top of the fixed model cavity 14, and the locking assembly acts on the mold closing. A core assembly is slidably connected inside, and the core assembly acts on extrusion. A movable model frame 17 is arranged on the outside of the fixed model frame 13, and a rectangular array guide column 16 is arranged inside the movable model frame 17. The guide column 16 is made of high-hardness tool steel, and the outer wall of the guide column 16 is slidably connected inside the mold guide sleeve 1. A movable model cavity 19 is arranged on the top of the movable model frame 17. The material and processing technology of the movable model cavity 19 are similar to those of the fixed model cavity 14, and together constitute the external shape of the product. A cavity assembly is arranged inside the movable model cavity 19, and a pushing assembly is arranged on the top of the movable model frame 17. The pushing assembly acts on moving the neutron slider 24. The outer wall of the neutron slider 24 is arranged on the outer wall of the cavity assembly, and a molding assembly is arranged inside the neutron slider 24, so as to carry out integrated production and reduce the problem of high cost of using a split type in large-scale production.

[0032] Specifically, during processing, when the mold is opened, the equipment will send a signal to the cylinder sensor 28, and then the equipment hydraulics will be started. At this time, the cylinder piston retreats, and the piston rod drives the sliding block 26 to pull down the neutron slider 24. Then the manipulator places the welding fork 32 in the neutron slider 24 of the mold. When the equipment senses the corresponding signal, the cylinder piston pushes up, and the piston rod drives the neutron slider 24 to be pushed onto the mold cavity 19, so that the upper cavity B22 and the lower cavity B23 are tightly pressed together. Then the equipment drives the mold to close the mold. After closing the mold, the core assembly fork upper slider core A2, fork upper slider core B4, fork lower slider core B11, and fork lower slider core B23 are pressed together. The fork lower slider core A9 will be extruded and cooperated with each other through the locking assembly fork upper slider locking block A3, upper slider locking block B5, fork lower slider locking block A10, and fork lower slider locking block B12, and finally the heated and molten plastic will be injected into the core of the mold through the injection port 8 via the runner 29. After cooling, it can be taken out and used. The product is processed in an integrated manner, and a large number of products of the same specifications can be produced quickly and continuously, ensuring the size and shape accuracy of the product, improving product quality, reducing the number of parts and assembly processes, reducing production costs, making the overall structure more solid, and improving product strength and durability.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , the molding assembly includes an upper fork plastic molding part 30, a lower fork plastic molding part 31, a welding fork 32, a proximal injection molding column 33, and a distal injection molding column 34. The outer wall of the welding fork 32 is disposed inside the neutron slider 24. The bottom of the upper fork plastic molding part 30 is disposed on the top of the welding fork 32. The outer wall of the lower fork plastic molding part 31 is disposed on the outer wall of the welding fork 32. The inside of the proximal injection molding column 33 is disposed inside the welding fork 32. The inside of the distal injection molding column 34 is disposed on the outer wall of the welding fork 32.

[0034] Specifically, the use of the upper fork plastic molding part 30 and the lower fork plastic molding part 31 can be customized according to the specific shape and requirements of the product to ensure the accuracy and stability of molding. The welding fork 32 plays an important role in connection and fixation, helping to enhance the strength and reliability of the overall structure. The settings of the proximal injection molding column 33 and the distal injection molding column 34 provide support and guidance for the injection molding process, helping to ensure the uniformity and consistency of injection molding. Through the synergistic action of these components, efficient shaping of the product can be achieved to meet different production requirements.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3, the pushing component includes a neutron oil cylinder 25, a neutron sliding block 26, an oil cylinder speed regulating valve 27 and an oil cylinder signal sensor 28. The neutron oil cylinder 25 is arranged on the outer wall of the moving model frame 17. The output end of the neutron oil cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the neutron sliding block 26. The outer wall of the neutron sliding block 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the neutron slider 24. The outer wall of the oil cylinder speed regulating valve 27 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the neutron oil cylinder 25. One end of the oil cylinder signal sensor 28 is arranged on the outer wall of the neutron oil cylinder 25. The injection component includes an injection hole 8 and a runner 29. One end of the injection hole 8 is arranged inside the core component. The injection hole 8 is made of wear-resistant cemented carbide material with a smooth inner wall to ensure that the molten plastic material can pass through smoothly. One end of the runner 29 is fixedly connected to the other end of the injection hole 8. The fixed mold cavity 14 and the fixed mold frame 13 are threadedly connected through the fixed mold block pressing bolt holes 6 opened inside. The moving mold cavity 19 and the moving mold frame 17 are threadedly connected through the threaded holes 18 opened inside. The locking component and the core component are threadedly connected through the locking block pressing bolt holes 15. The locking component includes a fork upper slider locking block A3, an upper slider locking block B5, a fork lower slider locking block A10 and a fork lower slider locking block B12. The core component includes a fork upper slider core A2, a fork upper slider core B4, a fork lower slider core B11 and a fork lower slider core A9. The locking component and the core component are threadedly connected through the locking block pressing bolt holes 15 opened inside. The cavity component includes an upper cavity A20, an upper cavity B22, a lower cavity A21 and a lower cavity B23. The upper cavity A20 and the upper cavity B22 are bolted and threadedly connected to the top of the moving mold cavity 19. The lower cavity A21 and the lower cavity B23 are fixed to the outer wall of the neutron slider 24, so as to facilitate the replacement of individual parts. When the device is damaged, there is no need to replace the whole device.

[0036] Specifically, the mold can be assembled. First, the guide sleeve 1 and the guide post 16 are respectively installed on the fixed mold frame 13 and the movable mold frame 17 to play a role in rough positioning and guiding when the mold is closed. Next, the fixed mold cavity 14 and the movable mold cavity 19 are respectively installed and fixed on the fixed and movable mold frames through the fixed mold block pressing bolt holes 6 and the threaded holes 18. Then, the upper slider core A2 of the core component fork, the upper slider core B4 of the fork, the lower slider core B11 of the fork, and the lower slider core A9 of the fork are respectively connected to the upper slider locking block A3 of the locking component fork, the upper slider locking block B5, the lower slider locking block A10 of the fork, and the lower slider locking block B12 of the fork through the T-shaped slide rails, and are fixed to the core component through the locking block pressing bolt holes 15. Finally, the upper cavity A20 and the upper cavity B22 are fixed on the movable mold cavity 19 through bolts, and the lower cavity A21 and the lower cavity B23 are fixed on the intermediate slider 24. Through the above steps, the assembly of the components can be completed. In this way, when a single device is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, without replacing the whole device, thus greatly reducing the maintenance cost and time. Secondly, this design makes the maintenance of the equipment more convenient. Without professional technicians, ordinary workers can also carry out simple maintenance and replacement. In addition, the disassembly and replacement of a single device are also beneficial to the upgrade and improvement of the equipment. Performance better devices can be replaced at any time according to actual needs to improve the overall performance of the equipment.

[0037] Working principle: When processing is required, first assemble the mold. First, install the guide sleeve 1 and the guide post 16 on the fixed mold frame 13 and the moving mold frame 17 respectively, which play a role in rough positioning and guiding when the moving and fixed molds of the mold are closed. The fixed mold cavity 14 and the moving mold cavity 19 are installed and fixed on the moving and fixed mold frames through the fixed mold block pressing bolt holes 6 and the threaded holes 18 respectively. The slider core A2 on the fork of the core component, the slider core B4 on the fork, the lower slider core B11 on the fork, and the lower slider core A9 on the fork are respectively connected to the slider locking block A3 on the fork of the locking component, the upper slider locking block B5, the lower slider locking block A10 on the fork, and the lower slider locking block B12 on the fork through the T-shaped slide rails, and are fixed to the core component through the locking block pressing bolt holes 15. The upper cavity A20 and the upper cavity B22 are fixed on the moving mold cavity 19 by bolts, and the lower cavity A21 and the lower cavity B23 are fixed on the intermediate slider 24. Thus, the components are assembled. When processing later, when the mold is opened, the device gives a signal to the oil cylinder sensor 28, the device hydraulic system starts, the oil cylinder piston retreats, and the piston rod drives the sliding block 26 to pull down the intermediate slider 24. The manipulator places the welding fork 32 into the intermediate slider 24 of the mold. After the device senses the signal, the oil cylinder piston pushes up, and the piston rod drives the intermediate slider 24 to push onto the mold cavity 19, so that the upper cavity B22 and the lower cavity B23 are tightly fitted. At this time, the device drives the mold to close. After closing, the slider core A2 on the fork of the core component, the slider core B4 on the fork, the lower slider core B11 on the fork, and the lower slider core A9 on the fork are matched through the extrusion of the slider locking block A3 on the fork of the locking component, the upper slider locking block B5, the lower slider locking block A10 on the fork, and the lower slider locking block B12 on the fork. The heated and melted plastic is injected into the core of the mold through the injection port 8 and the runner 29, and forms a shape after cooling. When the mold is opened, the process product required by the customer is formed.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
