Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lens injection molds, in particular to a multi-cavity optical lens injection mold. Background Art

[0002] Automotive LED modules typically consist of multiple light-emitting components, including lenses. Lenses are a significant component of automotive lighting. Car lights provide illumination for nighttime driving and also signal various vehicle movements. Lights are generally categorized as headlights, taillights, and turn signals. Lens production requires the use of injection molds.

[0003] At present, most lens molds on the market are developed and designed as one mold with two cavities or one mold with four cavities. At the same time, lens products have thicker wall thickness and optical design requirements, which leads to a long injection molding cycle for the entire product and low mold output. Therefore, in the development process of each project model, in order to ensure mass production delivery, multiple molds will be developed at the same time to ensure the subsequent mass production and delivery needs. At the same time, two injection molding processes, a primary injection mold and a secondary injection mold, will be set on the outside of the lens mold. When the lens mold is used for a long time and one of the two injection molds of the lens mold is damaged, the primary injection mold and the secondary injection mold are mostly fixed by screws or welded, and the replacement cycle of the injection mold is generally long, resulting in the subsequent screws being locked, and then violent disassembly and replacement are required.

[0014] 2. The utility model describes a multi-cavity optical lens injection mold, the mold is designed according to a 6+6 ring layout, which optimizes the flow of injection plastic and ensures molding, reduces the loss of injection pressure of the right-angled symmetrical layout, and is a significant improvement compared to the conventional one-mold two-cavity and one-mold four-cavity molds. Since the injection molding process is divided into two injections compared to the original one-time injection, and the two injections are carried out simultaneously in a mold, the injection production time is greatly shortened, and the overall injection cycle can be improved by more than 55% in efficiency. In addition, compared with multiple cavities, the output is doubled from the original most basic one-mold two-cavity to the current one-mold six-cavity. The comprehensive cycle improvement advantage is that the actual efficiency of the mold product is increased by 6 times compared to the traditional one-mold two-cavity model, and the output capacity is increased by 3 times compared to the one-mold four-cavity mold.

[0023] A multi-cavity optical lens injection mold includes a first movable mold 1, a first fixed mold 2 is provided at the bottom end of the first movable mold 1, a second fixed mold 3 is provided on one side of the first fixed mold 2, a groove 4 is opened inside the second fixed mold 3, a rotating rod 5 is provided inside the groove 4, the outer wall of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 6, the outer wall of the rotating rod 5 is located on one side of the first rotating plate 6 and is fixedly connected to the second rotating plate 7, the outer wall of the first rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the first magnet 8, the outer wall of the second rotating plate 7 is fixedly connected to the second magnet 9, a reset spring 10 is provided between one end of the rotating rod 5 and the groove 4, and a mounting groove 11 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the second fixed mold 3.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning rod 12 is provided inside the groove 4, and one end of the positioning rod 12 is fixedly connected to the third magnet 13. The end of the positioning rod 12 away from the third magnet 13 passes through the installation groove 11 and the positioning rod 12 is slidingly connected to the second fixed mold 3. When the rotating rod 5 moves, the rotating rod 5 will drive the first rotating plate 6 to move, so that the first rotating plate 6 drives the first magnet 8 to move inside the groove 4.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first fixed mold 2, and one end of the mounting block 14 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 11. When the second rotating plate 7 moves, the second rotating plate 7 drives the second magnet 9 to move, causing the second magnet 9 to move inside the groove 4.
