Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plastic molds, in particular to a cold runner injection mold with a fine sprue. Background Art

[0002] Injection molds are processing tools used in the mass production of parts, primarily in industrial manufacturing. The injection mold process involves injecting a molten polymer into the mold cavity under high pressure, cooling and solidifying it to produce the final product. The mold is then opened and the molded part is removed. Computer keyboards typically have approximately one hundred physical keys that need to be mounted within the hollow frame of the keyboard housing (molded part). This requires a high level of flatness. To accommodate mini-computers, the overall size of the keyboard is significantly reduced, placing even higher demands on the flatness of the housing. To meet this requirement, an injection mold has been developed to mass-produce keyboard housings. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the implementation of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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 efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7A fine-gate cold runner injection mold includes a top template 1, a runner template 2, a fixed template 3, a movable template 4, a positioning template 5 and a bottom template 6. A core mechanism for molding a molded part is provided in the mold cavity formed by the fixed template 3 and the movable template 4. The core mechanism includes a front mold plate 21, a front inner template 18, a suction cup 25 and a rear inner template 22. The front mold plate 21 is fixedly connected to the front inner template 18 by a number of bolts. The suction cup 25 is located above the molded part in the rear inner template 22 and below the upper row of water pipes 23. The molten polymer is cast into a molded part under a certain pressure and temperature. When the push rod pushes, the molded part is smoothly adsorbed by the suction cup and can be smoothly separated from the mold cavity. The front inner template 18 is designed with a number of interconnected molten runners 180 of different shapes for the flow of polymer in a molten state. The cold runner design is adopted here. The molten runner 180 is designed with several through holes leading to the mold cavity below, which are used for the molten polymer to flow to the mold cavity. A bolt 19 is fixed above the through hole. One end of the bolt 19 is fixed to the hook needle pressure plate 16, and the other end is in conflict with the sprue part 24 of the connected mold. The sprue part here is not a component of the mold. There are several bolts, which can stabilize the front inner template, the front mold core plate and the hook needle top plate to avoid the pressure generated when the injection molding machine nozzle injects the molten polymer, which may cause the mold to be squeezed and deformed or insufficiently fed during the molding process. A crucian carp mouth 12 is fixedly connected to the top opening of the front inner template 18. The molten polymer is injected into the molten flow channel 180 through the crucian carp mouth 12 and then flows into the mold cavity of the mold part. The front inner template 18 is fixed in the fixed template 3. Several water pipes 23 in the upper row cross the two ends of the front inner template 18 and extend to the side ends of the fixed template 3. The rear inner template 22 is fixed in the movable template 4. Several water pipes 23 in the lower row extend from the bottom surface of the rear inner template 22 to the side ends of the fixed template 3. One end of the water pipe 23 is an IN port and the other end is an OUT port. Cold water enters from the IN port of the upper row of water pipes to cool the front inner template, suction cup, and mold part and then flows out from the OUT port. Cold water enters from the IN port of the lower row of water pipes to cool the rear inner template and then flows out from the OUT port, effectively ensuring that the molten polymer is quickly cooled and formed after filling the cavity, and also reduces the temperature of the core mechanism.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 The front mold core plate 21, the front inner mold plate 18 and the inner mold plate 22 are provided with a first positioning block 17 and a second positioning block 20 on their sides. The first and second positioning blocks play a role in fixing the core mechanism, and can keep the core mechanism from displacement when the mold is subjected to the pressure and temperature applied by the injection molding machine during operation.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3The fixed platen 3, runner platen 2, and top platen 1 are sequentially sleeved onto the upper halves of the guide sleeve columns 14 at the four corners. Four spring bolts 15 secure the fixed platen 3 and runner platen 2 together. These spring bolts are intended to reduce the collision force between the fixed and runner platen that could affect the stable operation of the core mechanism. The fixed platen 3, runner platen 2, and top platen 1 are securely connected via an external pull plate 9. Three clamping columns are located at the top of the external pull plate 9 to secure the fixed platen 3, runner platen 2, and top platen 1. The external pull plate secures the fixed, runner, and top platen together to achieve the mold's open and closed state.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The four sides of the fixed template 3 and the movable template 4 are movably matched by the upper positioning piece 10 and the lower positioning piece 11. During the injection molding process of the mold, the mold can be opened and closed with the upper and lower positioning pieces as the boundary to ensure the removal of the molten polymer molded mold.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 8 The lower half of the guide sleeve column 14 is sequentially covered with a movable template 4, a positioning template 5 and a bottom template 6, and the movable template 4, the positioning template 5 and the bottom template 6 are fixed by six long bolts 26.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 8 Between the two positioning templates 5, a pin back plate 7 and a pin plate 8 are fixed. The pin back plate 7 and the pin plate 8 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts 27. First supports 28 are provided on the side ends and front faces of the pin back plate 7 and the pin plate 8, and second supports 32 are provided on the front faces. The first supports 28 are square and of different sizes, and there are four second supports 32 in the shape of a column. The first supports 28 and the second supports 32 of different sizes are fixed to the bottom template 6 by short screws 30. The purpose of the multiple first and second supports is to stabilize the pin back plate and the pin plate from displacement and to provide support for the movable template.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 Three ejector pins 31 are fixed to the middle of the ejector rear plate 7 and the ejector plate 8. The ejector pins 31 extend through the rear inner mold plate 22 and into the mold cavity. The ejector pins are the main tool for removing the molded part from the mold cavity. When the top cylinder of the injection molding machine pushes the bottom mold plate, the ejector pins directly push the molded part out of the mold cavity.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7-Figure 9Several ejector pins 29 are positioned between the first support head 28 and the second support head 32. These pins extend through the ejector plate 8, the movable platen 4, and the rear inner platen 22 into the mold cavity. These ejector pins extend into the mold cavity at one end, supporting the mold at multiple points during the molding process and stabilizing the movable platen and rear inner platen, effectively preventing deformation and bending.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 A heat shield 13 is fixed to the runner template 2 by several screws. When the injection molding machine injects the molten polymer into the crucian carp mouth, the injection molding machine easily conducts a large amount of heat to the mold, causing the pressure and temperature of the mold cavity to exceed the set threshold value, causing the molded part to malfunction. The heat shield can effectively prevent this phenomenon from happening.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
