[0002] With the widespread use of printers, the market demand for printer housings continues to increase, especially in office equipment and household equipment. The internal structure of the printer has multiple shell structures to facilitate the installation of related printer accessories.
[0003] In the prior art, traditional printer housing injection molds can usually only produce one housing component at a time. This single-cavity mold has low production efficiency and cannot meet the needs of mass production. In addition, the pouring channel structure in traditional injection molds is often relatively simple, which leads to uneven flow rate of molten injection material when flowing through, especially in complex geometric structures or multi-cavity molds. As a result, the injection material cannot be quickly and evenly distributed when filling the mold cavity, which prolongs the product molding cycle. Moreover, during the pouring production process, the gate area is prone to wear due to frequent scouring and shearing of high-temperature molten injection material, resulting in the need to replace the entire mold or undergo large-scale repairs, which not only increases maintenance costs but also shortens the service life of the mold.
[0004] Therefore, the existing technology has defects and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a printer housing injection mold with high molding efficiency, including a top plate 1, an upper template 2, a lower template 3, a bottom plate 4, a casting sleeve 5, a shunt pipe 6, a gate insert 7, an upper insert 81 and a lower insert 82; the upper template 2 is arranged at the bottom of the top plate 1, the bottom of the upper template 2 has a first accommodating cavity, the two upper inserts 81 are respectively arranged in the first accommodating cavity, and core structures 810 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the upper insert 81, the lower template 3 is arranged below the upper template 2, the bottom plate 4 is arranged at the bottom of the lower template 3, and the top of the lower template 3 is provided with a core structure 810. It has a second accommodating cavity, and the two lower inserts 82 are respectively arranged in the second accommodating cavity. Cavity structures 820 are provided on both sides of the top of the lower insert 82, and a molding chamber for injection molding the printer shell is formed between the cavity structure 820 and the core structure 810; when the mold is in the mold closing state, the core structure 810 and the cavity structure 820 can form a closed molding chamber and accommodate molten injection molding material to injection mold a printer shell product of a specific shape; the upper insert 81 and the lower insert 82 are detachable structures, which are convenient for maintenance and replacement, thereby improving the service life and maintenance efficiency of the mold.
[0031] The pouring sleeve 5 is located in the middle of the top plate 1 and is used to inject molten injection molding material. The diverter pipe 6 is embedded in the upper mold plate 2. The top of the diverter pipe 6 is connected to the pouring sleeve 5. The bottom of the diverter pipe 6 has a plurality of branch pipes 60. The gate insert 7 is located on the lower insert 82 between the two sides of the cavity structure 820. The branch pipes 60 are connected to the molding cavity through the gate insert 7. The gate insert 7 is used to circulate the injection molding material flowing out of the branch pipes 60 into the molding cavity. During the injection molding process, the molten plastic material can be injected into the pouring sleeve 5 through the nozzle of the injection molding machine. The top of the diverter pipe 6 is connected to the pouring sleeve 5, and the bottom has a plurality of branch pipes 60. The branch pipes 60 can divert and transport the plastic material, and then enter the molding cavity through the gate insert 7 and gradually fill the molding cavity to form the shape structure of the printer housing. The provision of a manifold 6 ensures a more even flow of injection material to each molding chamber of the mold. The gate insert 7 controls the flow rate and velocity of the injection material into the molding chamber, ensuring uniform distribution of the injection material within each chamber. This prevents product defects such as warping, bubbles, and cold marks caused by uneven flow rates. The replaceable gate insert 7 makes mold maintenance more convenient and flexible, saving maintenance time and costs and improving production efficiency.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, further, the gate insert 7 has an inlet 71 and an outlet 72 connected to the inlet 71, the inlet 71 is connected to the branch pipe 60, and the outlet 72 is connected to the molding chamber, and the diameter of the inlet 71 is larger than the diameter of the outlet 72. Such a setting can effectively slow down the flow rate of the injection molding material, avoid the injection molding material entering the molding chamber too quickly and causing defects such as bubbles and flow marks, thereby improving the product quality; and the small-diameter outlet 72 setting can reduce the turbulence and turbulence of the injection molding material in the molding chamber, thereby improving the surface finish of the product.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, an injection channel 700 is formed between the inlet 71 and the outlet 72. The injection channel 700 has an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped injection channel 700 can guide the molten injection material along a smoother path into the outlet 72, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the injection material during the flow process, thereby improving the surface accuracy and quality of the molded injection product.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, further, the number of gate inserts 7 on each of the lower inserts 82 is four groups. Such an arrangement can speed up the filling speed of the injection molding material, so that the injection molding material can enter multiple molding chambers at the same time, thereby improving the molding efficiency of the injection molding process and shortening the injection molding cycle.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, a cooling pipe group 9 is included, and the cooling pipe group 9 is partially buried in the upper template 2. The cooling pipe group 9 has a plurality of water injection ports 90, and the water injection ports 90 are exposed on the side wall of the upper template 2. The water injection ports 90 are used to introduce coolant. Such a setting can accelerate the molding cooling process, make the molten injection material solidify faster, shorten the molding cycle, and improve production efficiency.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, further, positioning protrusions 811 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the upper mount 81, and positioning grooves 821 are provided on the lower mount 82 to fit and abut against the positioning protrusions 811. Such an arrangement allows the upper mount 81 and the lower mount 82 to be accurately aligned when the mold is closed, thereby improving the molding quality of the injection molded product.
[0037] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
