Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic cutting mechanism for a glue port in an injection mold, belonging to the field of injection molds. Background Art

[0002] Plastic products produced using injection molds, such as various automotive interiors and computer components, require high surface finish based on product structure and appearance. Therefore, when designing and processing the mold, a side-injection structure is often used, where the injection port is located on one side of the mold cavity. After the product is formed, the side injection port forms a handle. Traditionally, the handle is ejected from the mold along with the product, and then manually or mechanically sheared off the handle or the product. This has the following disadvantages: 1. Increased labor costs and low manual shearing efficiency; 2. By this time, the product has completely cooled, leaving a white cross-section on the product after shearing. This requires polishing and painting, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic cutting mechanism for the glue outlet in the injection mold, which can automatically cut off the glue outlet (material handle) when it is not completely cooled, and the cross section recovers by itself without additional treatment, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific implementation cases. The following implementation cases will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but will not limit the present invention in any form. Example 1

[0015] like Figure 1 — Figure 3As shown, the present invention relates to an automatic cutting mechanism for the glue port in the injection mold, comprising a cavity template 1 and a core template 2, a cavity doubler plate 3 is arranged on the cavity template, a cavity insert 4 is arranged in the cavity template, a core insert 5 is arranged in the core template, a mold cavity 6 and a side glue port 7 are arranged between the core insert 5 and the cavity insert 4, a product 8 is formed in the mold cavity 6, a material handle 9 is formed in the side glue port 7, a mold foot 10 is arranged under the core template 2, a core doubler plate 11 is arranged under the mold foot, an upper top plate 12 and a lower top plate 13 are arranged between the mold feet, a push rod 14 is connected to the upper top plate, and the push rod 14 passes through the core template 2 and the core insert 5 and contacts the product 8. A cutting top plate 15 is provided on the mold foot 10 near the bottom surface of the core template 2 (a corresponding air avoidance is provided at the mold foot), a cutting top rod 16 is provided on the cutting top plate 15, and a cutter 17 is provided on the cutting top rod. A glue port insert 18 is provided in the core insert 5, and a part of the side glue port 7 is provided on the glue port insert 18. The cutter 17 passes through the core template 2 and the glue port insert 18 and cooperates with the side glue port 7. An air avoidance incision 19 is provided on the cavity insert 4 corresponding to the cutter 17. The cutting top plate 15 is driven to be pushed up by power, and a material handle ejector pin 23 is connected to the upper top plate 12. The material handle ejector pin 23 passes through the core insert 5 and contacts the material handle 9.

[0016] During injection molding in this embodiment, the product 8 is formed in the mold cavity 6 and the material handle 9 is formed in the side glue port 7. During demolding, the mold is not opened first. The cutting top plate 15 is first driven upward by the power, and the cutting top plate 15 drives the cutter 17 to shear the material handle 9 through the cutting top rod 16, cutting the material handle 9 from the product 8. Then the mold is opened. During the mold opening process, the product 8 and the material handle 9 are respectively pushed out of the mold by the ejector rod 14 and the material handle ejector pin 23, and the demolding is completed.

[0017] In order to smoothly cut the material handle 9, an air-avoiding cutout 19 is provided on the cavity insert 4.

[0018] In order to ensure shearing accuracy, a glue port insert 18 is provided in the core insert 5. The glue port insert can be further hardened to reduce wear and tear. Even if it is worn, it is easy to replace.

[0019] This solution achieves in-mold cutting of the product and the material handle (glue mouth). At this time, the product has not yet completely cooled and solidified, and the cross-section on the product can automatically heal, making the cross-section consistent with the product color difference, and the cross-section neat and smooth. No post-processing is required, which effectively reduces production costs and improves production efficiency, and has very beneficial positive effects.

[0020] Furthermore, a guide limit pin 20 is provided on the cutting top plate 15, and a corresponding guide limit groove 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the core template 2. The guide limit pin 20 cooperates with the guide limit groove 21 to guide and limit the cutter top plate, thereby preventing the cutting top plate from being excessively pushed up and colliding.

[0021] Furthermore, the power for driving the cutting top plate 15 is the oil cylinder 22, which is arranged on the core plate 11. The cylinder rod of the oil cylinder 22 is connected to the cutting top plate 15. When working, the oil cylinder 22 drives the cutting top plate 15 to push up, thereby driving the cutter to cut the material handle. There are usually two oil cylinders to balance the upper push.

[0022] The above specific implementation methods are used to illustrate the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Any modifications and changes made to the present invention within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
