[0030] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally located component.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an earphone shell injection mold with high positioning accuracy, including a top seat 1, an upper mold seat 2, a lower mold seat 3, a base 4, a core insert 5, a cavity insert 6 and a core pulling assembly 7. The top seat 1 is arranged at the top of the upper mold seat 2, the upper mold seat 2 is arranged at the top of the lower mold seat 3, the core insert 5 is arranged at the bottom of the upper mold seat 2, and the cavity insert 6 is arranged at the top of the lower mold seat 3. A molding cavity for injection molding an earphone shell product is formed between the core insert 5 and the cavity insert 6; when the upper mold seat 2 and the lower mold seat 3 are combined together, the core insert 5 and the cavity insert 6 cooperate with each other to obtain a molding cavity, and the shape of the molding cavity determines the shape of the earphone shell product.

[0034] The core insert 5 is formed by symmetrically splicing two movable inserts 50. The bottom of the upper mold base 2 at the side end of the movable insert 50 is provided with an insert chute 20. The core pulling assembly 7 is connected to the movable insert 50. The core pulling assembly 7 is used to drive the movable insert 50 to move toward or away from each other along the insert chute 20. Since the core insert 5 is formed by symmetrically splicing two movable inserts 50, and the movable insert 50 can move in the insert chute 20, the two movable inserts 50 can move away from each other during demoulding to reduce the risk of the molded earphone shell and the molded earphone shell. The friction and obstruction between the molds facilitate smooth demoulding, avoid deformation or damage of the product during the demoulding process, and ensure the integrity of the product shape; and, since the movable insert 50 can move during the demoulding process, the concentrated wear problem caused by the fixed setting of the core insert 5 is avoided, thereby extending the service life of the mold; when the core insert 5 is worn, the user can replace the core insert 5 alone without replacing the entire mold, thereby reducing maintenance costs, improving production efficiency, and facilitating the correction of positioning errors, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the product.

[0035] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the core pulling assembly 7 includes a slide 71 and an inclined top guide block 72. The slide 71 is located in the insert slot 20. The slide 71 is connected to the side end of the movable insert 50. A positioning inclined slot 710 is provided on the slide 71. The inclined top guide block 72 is provided with a positioning slider 720 that is adapted to fit the positioning inclined slot 710. The inclined top guide block 72 is connected to the top seat 1. The inclined top guide block 72 is used to push the slide 71 to move back and forth in the insert slot 20 as the top seat 1 moves up and down. After the injection molding is completed, the mold begins to open. As the top seat 1 moves upward, the inclined top guide block 72 connected to the top seat 1 also moves upward. Since the positioning slider 720 on the inclined top guide block 72 cooperates with the slide 71 through the positioning inclined groove 710, the slide 71 is pushed to move in the insert slide 20. While the slide 71 moves in the insert slide 20, it also drives the movable insert 50 connected to it to move together. Since the movable insert 50 is symmetrically spliced, the movable insert 50 moves outward in opposite directions to leave the molding chamber, which facilitates the smooth demolding of the product. At this time, the earphone shell can be smoothly taken out of the mold.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, further, it also includes a core fixing seat 51, which is arranged at the bottom of the upper mold base 2. The bottom of the core fixing seat 51 is provided with a positioning groove 510 for accommodating the core insert 5. Such a setting can prevent the core insert 5 from causing wear to the upper mold base 2 during high-frequency movement, and facilitates the maintenance and replacement of mold accessories.

[0037] Furthermore, the positioning groove 510 and the insert groove 20 are located on the same horizontal plane. Such an arrangement can increase the moving stroke of the core insert 5, so that the core insert 5 can move from the positioning groove 510 to the insert groove 20, which is convenient for rapid demoulding.

[0038] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, further, it also includes a pin inserting assembly 8, which includes an upper pull rod 81, a side pressure block 82, a pin inserting body 83 and a spring 84. The side end of the core fixing seat 51 is provided with a limiting bevel 511, and the side pressure block 82 is arranged in the limiting bevel 511. The pin inserting body 83 is connected to the inner end of the side pressure block 82, and the limiting bevel 511 is provided with a guide hole 512 for allowing the pin inserting body 83 to partially extend into the molding chamber. The outer end of the side pressure block 82 is provided with a slope structure 820, the bottom of the upper pull rod 81 abuts against the slope structure 820, and the top of the upper pull rod 81 is connected to the top seat 1, and the spring 84 is provided between the limiting bevel 511 and the side pressure block 82, and the spring 84 is used to apply an elastic force to push the side pressure block 82 toward the outside. During the injection molding process, the pin body 83 extends into the molding chamber to form the fine structures required on the earphone shell, such as small holes, grooves, buckles, or other shapes that require precise molding. When the injection molding is completed, the mold begins to be demolded. At this time, the top seat 1 and the upper pull rod 81 connected to it begin to rise. As the top seat 1 rises, the upper pull rod 81 also detaches from the inclined structure 820 of the side pressure block 82. The detachment of the upper pull rod 81 can release the pressure on the side pressure block 82. After the upper pull rod 81 detaches, the spring 84 releases its pre-compressed elastic force, pushing the side pressure block 82 outward, thereby driving the pin body 83 outward, so that the pin body 83 gradually withdraws from the molding chamber, preventing damage to the earphone shell product or leaving defects during demolding, thereby improving the injection molding accuracy of the product.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, further, a positioning protrusion 513 is provided on the side wall of the positioning slide 510, and a positioning groove 501 is provided on the movable insert 50 to be adapted to be engaged with the positioning protrusion 513. Such an arrangement can prevent the movable insert 50 from being displaced or deviated during the demolding movement.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, further, the core pulling assembly 7 also includes a pressure plate 73, and the pressure plate 73 is arranged on both sides of the insert slide 20. The pressure plate 73 is used to limit the slide 71 from slipping out of the insert slide 20, avoiding the slide 71 from deviating in the insert slide 20 due to external force or other factors, thereby improving the product molding accuracy.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, further, it also includes a cavity fixing seat 61, which is arranged on the top of the lower mold base 3. The top of the cavity fixing seat 61 is provided with a receiving groove for placing the cavity insert 6. Such a setting allows the operator to easily remove the cavity insert 6 from the receiving groove and replace it when the mold needs to replace or maintain it.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the mold further includes a cooling tube assembly 9, which partially extends into the mold cavity holder 61 and is used to cool the injection-molded earphone housing product. The cooling tube assembly 9 allows for circulation of coolant to quickly remove heat from the mold, thereby accelerating the cooling and shaping process of the injection-molded earphone housing product, reducing the molding cycle time for each product, and thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0043] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
