The multi-rod ejection mechanism can increase the force area of ​​the product when it is ejected to prevent product damage.

[0027] Specifically, the buckle forming structure 4 includes a buckle forming portion forming groove 6 that is recessed inwardly on the lower template 2 and a buckle forming portion forming block 7 that is protruding from the upper template 1. The buckle forming portion forming block 7 and the buckle forming portion forming groove 6 are correspondingly arranged and inserted into the buckle forming portion forming groove 6. The buckle forming portion forming groove 6 is provided with a buckle forming groove 8. The buckle forming groove 8 provided between the buckle forming portion forming block 7 and the buckle forming portion forming groove 6 can form a buckle on the side of the product, eliminating the need for post-processing and facilitating production.

[0028] Preferably, the buckle forming portion forming block 7 is also protruded with a bolt hole forming rod 10. The bolt hole forming rod 10 can form a bolt hole for inserting a bolt on the buckle during buckle forming without the need for drilling in the later stage.

[0029] Specifically, the light guide strip molding cavity is formed by a light guide strip molding block 11 protruding from the lower mold plate 2 and a light guide strip molding groove 12 recessed inwardly on the upper mold plate 1. Several light guide portion molding blocks 13 protrude from the top of the light guide strip molding block 11, while several light guide portion molding grooves 14 are recessed inwardly at the bottom of the light guide portion molding grooves 12, corresponding to the light guide portion molding blocks 13. The light guide portion molding cavity, formed by the light guide portion molding grooves 12 and the light guide portion molding block 11, can be used to injection mold light guide strip products. The light guide portion molding blocks 13, in conjunction with the light guide portion molding grooves 14, can form the light guide strip's reflective portion at the top of the light guide strip product.

[0030] Specifically, the multi-point side-pouring structure 3 includes two symmetrically arranged guide structures, which are arranged between the two light guide strip molding cavities. The upper side of the upper template 1 is provided with a two-point pouring assembly connected to the two guide structures. The two-point pouring assembly includes an injection liquid diverter plate 15 arranged on the upper side of the upper template 1. Two injection molding tubes 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection liquid diverter plate 15. The bottoms of the two injection molding tubes 16 are respectively connected to the two guide structures. The guide structure includes an intermediate flow channel 17 that is inwardly recessed and arranged on the lower template 2 and parallel to the light guide strip molding block 11. Both sides of the intermediate flow channel 17 are connected to the side of the light guide strip molding block 11 through at least two diversion channels 18. The injection liquid diverter plate can divert the injection liquid. After diversion, the injection liquid can be fed into the two guide structures from the two injection tubes. After the injection liquid enters the middle flow channel in the guide structure, it can pass through the diverter flow channels on both sides of the middle flow channel and enter the light guide strip molding cavity from the side of the light guide strip molding cavity. Feeding from the side of the light guide strip molding cavity can reduce the impact of the gate on the quality of the product's outer surface.

[0031] Specifically, the multi-rod ejection mechanism 5 includes a top plate 19 disposed on the underside of the lower mold plate 2. Three straight ejector blocks 20 are provided at each end of the light guide strip forming block 11, connected to the edges of the light guide strip forming block 11. These straight ejector blocks 20 are connected to the top plate 19 via ejector pins. Several straight ejector pins 21 are also provided in a straight line in the middle of the light guide strip forming block 11. The bottoms of these straight ejector pins 21 are fixedly connected to the top plate 19. When the top plate moves upward, the straight ejector pins and ejector blocks exert a vertical upward thrust on the product, thereby preventing damage to the product during ejection.

[0032] Preferably, a plurality of excess material ejector rods 22 are further provided on the top plate 19, and the tops of the excess material ejector rods 22 are connected to the middle flow channel 17. When the top plate moves upward, the excess material ejector rods can also apply thrust to the excess material in the middle flow channel so that the excess material can be ejected together.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the two light guide strip molding cavities between the upper template 1 and the lower template 2 can be used for injection molding two light guide strips at one time; the multiple buckle molding structures 4 on both sides of the light guide strip molding cavity can form buckles on the side of the light guide strip, without the need for post-processing, which is convenient for production; the multi-point side-injection structure 3 can inject glue from multiple points to the side of the light guide strip molding cavity, which can improve the glue injection efficiency and reduce the influence of the gate on the outer surface quality of the product by injecting glue from the side of the light guide strip molding cavity; the multi-rod ejection mechanism can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the product when ejecting to prevent product damage;

[0034] The buckle forming groove 8 provided between the buckle forming portion forming block 7 and the buckle forming portion forming groove 6 can form a buckle on the side of the product, without the need for subsequent processing, which facilitates production. The bolt hole forming rod 10 can form a bolt hole for passing a bolt on the buckle during buckle forming, without the need for subsequent drilling. The light guide strip forming groove 12 and the light guide strip forming block 11 form a light guide strip forming cavity that can be injection molded into a light guide strip product. The light guide portion forming block 13 cooperates with the light guide portion forming groove 14 to form a reflective portion of the light guide strip on the top of the light guide strip product.

[0035] The injection molding liquid diverter plate can divert the injection molding liquid. After the diversion, the injection molding liquid can be fed into the two guide structures from the two injection molding tubes. After the injection molding liquid enters the middle flow channel in the guide structure, it can enter the light guide strip molding cavity from the side of the light guide strip molding cavity through the diverter flow channels on both sides of the middle flow channel. Feeding the glue from the side of the light guide strip molding cavity can reduce the influence of the gate on the quality of the product's outer surface. When the top plate moves upward, the straight ejector rod and the straight ejector block can apply a vertical upward thrust to the product, thereby preventing the product from being damaged during ejection. When the top plate moves upward, the residual material ejector rod can also apply a thrust to the residual material in the middle flow channel, thereby ejecting the residual material together.
