Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earphone injection molding equipment, in particular to an earhook liquid silicone injection molding mold which encapsulates plastic parts and wire ends. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, headphones are a pair of conversion units that receive electrical signals from a media player or receiver and convert them into audible sound waves using speakers close to the ears. Among the broad categories of headphones, wireless headphones have become mainstream due to their compact size and convenience. Among wireless headphones, back-hook headphones are a particular category. Compared to conventional headphones, they are most different in that they consist of three parts: the back-hook unit, the main unit, and the ear hook.
[0003] However, when it comes to injection molding of back-hook headphones, the back-hook, main body, and ear hook parts are generally injection molded separately and then connected together. The ear hook serves as a connector between the main body and the back-hook. Therefore, the ear hook structure must meet the requirements of both built-in elastic parts (silicone) and hardware for circuit transmission (including wires, hardware plugs, and terminal blocks at both ends of the wires). The combination of these two is the earphone core. Due to its curved shape and the structure of the two ends being just hardware plugs, the hardware plug only has two sockets for connecting with the main body. The two sockets are on different sides and there is no other gripping part. Therefore, the ear hook part often needs to be injection molded in batches, first injecting the outer shell, and then installing the hardware plug and wires. However, this approach requires, on the one hand, that the elastic part have an inner tube in the center line, and on the other hand, each component is injected in batches, which will make the production process cumbersome and not conducive to the rapid completion of product injection molding. It will also consume more human resources, and multiple molds need to be prepared for separate injection molding. Therefore, there are problems that need to be overcome in the rear-mounted injection mold. Utility Model Content

The side ends of the second mold core 32 are provided with extension legs 35, and the extension legs 35 are placed in the injection molding groove 34 and are provided with a plug-in end 36 for receiving the hardware plug 101. The upper template 1 is provided with a socket groove 11, and the top ends of the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 are always in the socket groove 11. There is space reserved in the socket groove 11 to meet the continued insertion of the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32. The ejector pin 33 is located at the bottom of the lower template 2, and the top end of the ejector pin 33 is passed through the movable groove 21. The other end of the injection molding groove 34 is provided with a socket 37 for meeting the insertion of the terminal 102. The upper template 1 is provided with an injection port 12, and the injection port 12 is connected to the injection cavity.
[0023] In this embodiment, the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 are mainly used to connect the hardware plug 101, one end of the wire 103 is inserted into the hardware plug 101, and the terminal 102 at the other end of the wire 103 is installed in the socket 37. After the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2 are covered, the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 are pushed upward with the help of the ejector pin 33, so that the parts that need to be injection molded are suspended in the air, so that after the injection plastic is injected, the injection molding of the ear hook part can be completed at one time.
[0024] It should be noted that during the specific injection molding, the upper template 1 and the lower template 2 are both built into the injection molding tooling, that is, a pusher for pressing down and an injection head for injecting material are connected to the upper part of the upper template 1, and support plates, spring columns and other components are provided under the lower template 2, which are mainly used to support the lower template 2 and the ejector pin 33. These are external components and are all components set up in conventional injection molding tooling. Therefore, this embodiment will not go into details about them one by one.
[0025] During the specific operation of this embodiment, it is necessary to first install the hardware (including the wire 103, the hardware plug 101, and the terminal blocks 102 at both ends of the wire 103), and pass the smaller terminal block 102 at one end of the wire 103 through the hole reserved in the hardware plug 101, while the larger terminal block 102 at the other end of the wire 103 remains in the hardware plug 101. Then, the two sockets on the hardware plug 101 are respectively and firmly connected with the plug ends 36 on the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32. Then, the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 can be placed into the movable groove 21 at the same time, and the terminal block 102 at the other end of the wire 103 is inserted into the socket 37. At this time, one end of the wire 103 is already suspended in the air. If necessary, a thimble 33 is also provided here to ensure that it can remain suspended in the air. Then the upper mold plate 1 is pressed down to allow the injection grooves 34 to align with each other to form an injection cavity. The top ends of the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 are placed in the sleeve groove 11, and then continue to press down. At this time, the ejector pin 33 pushes the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 upward, so that the first mold core 31 and the second mold core 32 continue to be inserted into the interior of the sleeve groove 11 until they are inserted to the bottom. At this time, the hardware as a whole is suspended in the injection cavity, and then the injection material can be injected from the injection port 12 to complete the injection molding. After the injection molding is completed, the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2 are separated, and the finished product can be removed.
[0026] Furthermore, regarding the design of the injection port 12 of this embodiment, both the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2 are provided with a guide groove 13. The guide grooves 13 of the upper mold plate 1 and the lower mold plate 2 overlap each other, and the injection port 12 communicates with the guide groove 13 of the upper mold plate 1, and the guide grooves 13 are both connected to the injection groove 34. The provision of the guide groove 13 prevents the injection port 12 from being directly connected to the injection cavity, thereby preventing factors such as the impact of the impact of the injection pressure on the injection molded product.
[0027] Furthermore, to facilitate positioning when the upper and lower templates 1 and 2 overlap, positioning grooves 22 are provided at the four corners of the lower template 2, and positioning posts 14 are provided at the four corners of the upper template 1. Furthermore, chamfered surfaces are provided at the notches of the positioning grooves 22 and the top edges of the positioning posts 14 during docking, providing guidance and positioning.
[0028] Furthermore, the ear hook of this embodiment is divided into a left ear hook and a right ear hook, so in order to produce the left and right ear hook parts in the same batch, there are at least two injection molding stations 3 in this embodiment, and every two injection molding stations 3 form a group, and the structures between the injection molding stations 3 in the same group are mirror-symmetrical.
[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
