[0002] IML, or in-mold molding, has the following notable features: a hardened transparent film on the surface, a printed pattern layer in the middle, and a plastic layer on the back. The ink sandwiched in the middle prevents the product from being scratched and abrasion-resistant, and maintains its vibrant color for a long time without fading. During injection molding, the IML sheet needs to be positioned to ensure the quality of the finished product.
[0003] Publication No.: CN215703680U, discloses: an IML sheet positioning mold, which drives the first gear to rotate by rotating the turntable, the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, the second gear drives the first threaded rod and the second threaded rod to rotate, the first threaded rod and the second threaded rod rotate to move the first movable plate and the second movable plate, drive the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate to clamp the IML sheet, and then insert the insert block into the insert groove, connect the auxiliary block with the IML sheet to the top cover, and then place the top cover. On the left mold and the right mold, the IML sheet is placed in the inner cavity of the left mold and the right mold, and then the injection liquid is injected from the injection port. When the injection liquid is added, when the IML sheet is stably placed in the inner cavity of the left mold and the right mold, the turntable is rotated to release the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate from the IML sheet, and then the auxiliary block is taken out of the top cover with the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate, and then the push plate is pushed to move with the baffle, and the baffle is used to block the hole after the auxiliary block is removed until the injection is completed and the mold is opened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] This specific embodiment is a positioning structure of IML process injection molding card material, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the positioning structure of the IML process injection molding card material includes a first mold 1, a second mold 2 and a cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 is fixed to the first mold 1 and the second mold 2 by a number of bolts. A card slot 4 is provided on the top of the cover plate 3, and a through slot 5 is passed through the bottom of the card slot 4. A disc 6 is rotatably installed on one side of the top of the cover plate 3 through a rotating shaft. A fixing frame 7 is fixed on the top of the disc 6, and a screw rod 8 is provided on the inner side of the fixing frame 7. Two L-connecting plates 9 are threadedly provided on the screw rod 8. A U-shaped frame 11 and a second clamping block 16 are respectively fixed on the downward ends of the two L-connecting plates 9. A first clamping block 10 is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 11. The first clamping block 10 and the second clamping block 16 are both matched with the card slot 4. A clamping assembly is provided on the first clamping block 10. A number of positioning grooves 18 are provided on the top of the cover plate 3, and a positioning piece is provided on the disc 6 to match the positioning groove 18.
[0028] The first mold 1, the second mold 2 and the cover plate 3 are conveniently fixed together by a number of bolts between the cover plate 3 and the first mold 1 and the second mold 2. Under the action of the clamping assembly, the IML card is conveniently clamped. Under the mutual cooperation of the positioning member and the positioning groove 18, the disc 6 is conveniently fixed, further ensuring the stability of the IML card. At the same time, under the threaded cooperation of the L connecting plate 9 and the screw rod 8, it is convenient to flexibly adjust the two L connecting plates 9 to be close to each other, thereby driving the first card block 10 and the second card block 16 to move up and down. Combined with the rotation of the shaft, it is convenient to adjust the fixing frame 7 to rotate around the shaft, thereby adjusting the first card block 10 and the second card block 16 around the shaft. The purpose of the synchronous rotation of the shaft is to facilitate driving the first clamping block 10 away from the clamping slot 4, and then driving the clamping assembly away from the clamping slot 4, while driving the second clamping block 16 close to the clamping slot 4 and sealing the clamping slot 4, so as to facilitate the continuation of the injection molding operation. It solves the problem in the prior art that when the IML sheet is stably located in the inner cavity of the left mold and the right mold, the staff needs to manually remove the auxiliary block together with the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate from the top cover, and then push the push plate to drive the baffle to seal the hole after the auxiliary block is removed. The operation is cumbersome and affects the injection molding efficiency. At the same time, it solves the problem in the prior art that the auxiliary block and the top cover are designed separately, which easily leads to the loss of components such as the auxiliary block, affecting the use of the injection molding operation.
[0029] The clamping assembly includes a screw 12, a rectangular plate 14 and a clamping block 15. The screw 12 is arranged on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 11.

The positioning block 19 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 22, and the positioning block 19 and the positioning groove 18 cooperate with each other. The spring 21 is connected between the top of the movable plate 22 and the disc 6, and the spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 20, and the pull ring is fixed to the top of the piston rod 20.
[0032] A knob is rotatably provided on one side of the U-shaped frame 11, and the knob is connected to one end of the screw 12. A support rod 23 is fixed inside the rectangular groove 13, and the support rod 23 passes through the rectangular plate 14. The rectangular plate 14 and the support rod 23 slide together, effectively limiting and guiding the rectangular plate 14, ensuring the stability of the rectangular plate 14 during movement. The thread directions of the center threaded holes of the two rectangular plates 14 are opposite.
[0033] A guide rod is provided on one side of the screw rod 8, which passes through the L-connecting plate 9, and the L-connecting plate 9 slides with the guide rod, which effectively plays a limiting and guiding role for the L-connecting plate 9, ensuring the stability of the L-connecting plate 9 during the up and down movement along the screw rod 8. The threaded directions of the threaded holes on the two L-connecting plates 9 are opposite. A motor 25 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 7, and the output end of the motor 25 is connected to the upper end of the screw rod 8.
[0034] The surface of the first mold 1 is provided with a plurality of L-shaped embedding grooves, and the surface of the second mold 2 is fixed with a plurality of L-shaped embedding blocks. The embedding blocks and embedding grooves cooperate with each other to facilitate the connection between the first mold 1 and the second mold 2. An injection port 24 is provided on the cover plate 3.
[0035] Example:
[0036] When in use, first, the first mold 1 and the second mold 2 are connected together by inserting the insert block on the second mold 2 into the insert groove on the first mold 1. Then, the IML sheet is placed between the two clamping blocks 15, and the knob is turned to drive the screw 12 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the rectangular plate 14 and the screw 12, combined with the movable cooperation between the rectangular plate 14, the rectangular groove 13 and the support rod 23, the two rectangular plates 14 are driven to move stably closer to each other, and then the two clamping blocks 15 are driven to move stably closer to each other until they come into contact with the IML sheet, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the IML sheet by using the two clamping blocks 15;
[0037] Next, the motor 25 is started, and the screw rod 8 is driven by the motor 25 to rotate. Under the threaded cooperation between the L-connecting plate 9 and the screw rod 8, combined with the sliding cooperation between the L-connecting plate 9 and the guide rod, the two L-connecting plates 9 are driven to move away from each other. The upper L-connecting plate 9 drives the second clamping block 16 upward away from the cover plate 3, and the lower L-connecting plate 9 drives the U-shaped frame 11 to move downward, thereby driving the first clamping block 10 to approach the card slot 4 until the first clamping block 10 is clamped into the card slot 4. At the same time, the IML card clamped by the two clamping blocks 15 is driven to pass through the through slot 5 and be placed in the inner cavity of the first mold 1 and the second mold 2. Then, the injection liquid is injected from the injection port 24.
[0038] When adding the injection liquid, when the IML sheet is stably stored in the inner cavity of the first mold 1 and the second mold 2, the knob is rotated in the opposite direction so that the two clamping blocks 15 move away from each other and release the clamping of the IML card;
[0039] Then the driving motor 25 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the two L-shaped connecting plates 9 to move closer to each other, and driving the U-shaped frame 11 to move upward through the lower L-shaped connecting plate 9, thereby driving the first clamping block 10 and the clamping assembly to move upward and away from the clamping slot 4;
[0040] When the clamping block 15 moves up to the upper side of the cover plate 3, the motor 25 is turned off, the pull ring is pulled upward, and under the action of the piston rod 20, the movable plate 22 is driven to press the spring 21 upward until the positioning block 19 is driven to disengage from the corresponding positioning groove 18 upward. At this time, under the rotation of the rotating shaft, the adjusting disc 6 rotates 180 degrees, driving the second clamping block 16 to rotate to the upper side of the clamping groove 4. At this time, the pull ring is released, and under the elastic action of the spring 21, the movable plate 22 is pressed downward, thereby driving the positioning block 19 downward to insert into the rear positioning groove 18, thereby limiting and fixing the disc 6;
[0041] At this time, continue to start the motor 25, and the motor 25 drives the screw rod 8 to continue to rotate, driving the two L-connecting plates 9 to continue to approach each other, and move downward through the upper L-connecting plate 9 until the second clamping block 16 is moved down and inserted into the slot 4, and drives the blocking block 17 to be inserted into the through slot 5, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing the through slot 5, until the injection molding is completed and the mold is opened.
[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention drives the clamping block 15 and the IML card held therein to move downward into the inner cavities of the first mold 1 and the second mold 2 through the cooperation between the screw rod 8 and the L-connecting plate 9. When the injection molding liquid is injected to stabilize the IML card in the inner cavities of the first mold 1 and the second mold 2, the first clamping block 10 and the clamping assembly are adjusted to move upward and out of the inner cavities of the first mold 1 and the second mold 2.
[0043] Then, under the cooperation of the positioning piece and the disc 6, the disc 6 is adjusted to rotate, so that the first clamping block 10 rotates in the direction away from the card slot 4, and at the same time drives the second clamping block 16 to rotate in the direction close to the card slot 4, cooperates with the screw rod 8 and the L connecting plate 9, drives the second clamping block 16 to move down, and combines with the blocking block 17 to block the card slot 4 and the through slot 5, which is convenient for injection molding. This solves the problem in the prior art that when the IML sheet is stably located in the inner cavity of the left mold and the right mold, the staff needs to manually remove the auxiliary block together with the first splint and the second splint from the top cover, and then push the push plate to drive the baffle to seal the hole after the auxiliary block is removed. The operation is relatively cumbersome, which affects the efficiency of injection molding. At the same time, it solves the problem that the separate design of the auxiliary block and the top cover in the prior art is easy to cause the auxiliary block and other components to be lost, etc., which affects the use of injection molding operations.
[0044] It should be further explained that the installation structure, connection method or setting method of each component in the present invention are all common mechanical methods, and they can be implemented as long as they can achieve their beneficial effects. At the same time, the motor 25 in the present invention is purchased on the market, and technical personnel in this field can install and use it according to requirements.
