Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of injection molds, in particular to a double-color injection mold for a household appliance housing. Background Art

[0002] A two-shot mold is one in which two plastic materials are injected on the same injection molding machine, forming the product in two separate steps, but the product is ejected from the mold only once. This molding process, also known as double-shot molding, is typically completed using a single set of molds and requires a specialized two-shot molding machine. In the production of home appliance front covers, two-shot molds are often used to mold these parts.

[0003] Existing two-color injection molds usually require staff assistance to separate the upper mold and the lower mold after injection molding, which brings inconvenience to the mold separation work of the two-color injection mold. At the same time, after injection molding, the household appliance face shell requires auxiliary operation before it can be demolded from the injection molding groove, resulting in the demolding work of the household appliance taking a long time, reducing the production efficiency of the household appliance face shell.

[0004] According to the announcement number: CN205326172U, a two-shot injection mold is provided. The mold includes a first front mold core, a second front mold core, a back mold core, a back mold insert, and a movable insert. The first front mold core is provided with a plurality of front mold sliders, which are slidably connected to the first front mold core and located outside the back mold insert. During the first shot molding, they slide and converge toward the back mold insert to cooperate with the back mold insert and the first front mold core to form a closed first cavity. The first shot product is molded in the first cavity. The movable insert is annular and slidably sleeved around the back mold insert. During the second shot molding, it slides toward the second front mold core to cooperate with the back mold insert and the second front mold core to form a closed second cavity. The second cavity is larger than the first cavity, so that a gap is formed between the second front mold core and the movable insert and the first shot product. The second shot product is molded within the gap. The utility model can reduce parting lines on the product surface and improve the product appearance. The utility model has a simple and reliable structure.
