Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of injection molds, in particular to an injection mold for a charging socket front panel with an insert anti-foolproofing mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, more and more parking lots and gas stations are equipped with charging piles. Most of these charging piles charge by inserting a charging gun into the charging hole of the charging socket panel of the new energy vehicle. In actual use, the charging gun needs to be snapped onto the charging panel to maintain charging stability. This type of snapping is mostly achieved by setting an insert in the charging hole of the front panel of the charging socket.
[0003] The posture of the insert in the front panel of the charging socket will seriously affect the snap-fit effect. Once it is installed upside down, it is difficult to achieve the snap-fit function. In order to improve service life and versatility, most of the existing inserts are made of alloy materials and are mostly integrated into the front panel of the charging socket by injection molding. Its structure is difficult to change. It is not realistic to set an anti-fool structure on the insert itself. It can only be manually identified whether it is placed upside down during the insert placement process before injection molding. This method has a certain error rate. The upside-down insert will not only cause the snap-fit failure, but in serious cases, it will also interfere with other parts in the injection mold, causing damage to the injection mold during mold closing.

[0026] The advantage of this arrangement is that when the movable pin slides forward to the first working position, the distance between the limit column and the positioning block can force the insert to be correctly placed to achieve anti-mistake effect, and when the movable pin moves backward to the second working position, the limit column can be completely retracted into the first hole without affecting the mold closing and injection molding; the structure is sophisticated and the anti-mistake effect is good.
[0027] To ensure the foolproof effect, further, when the movable pin 34 is in the first working position, the front end surface of the limiting column 341 is located in the front and lower part of the positioning block 31 .
[0028] Furthermore, the anti-fool mechanism also includes a cover plate 35 and a spring 36. The cover plate 35 is detachably connected to the rear side surface of the upper end of the inclined top 30. The cover plate 35 is used to cover the opening of the second hole 33. The spring 36 is arranged in the second hole 33. The two ends of the spring 36 are respectively pressed against the rear end surface of the movable pin 34 and the cover plate 35. The spring 36 has a tendency to drive the movable pin 34 to slide to the first working position.
[0029] In order to simplify the structure of the injection mold and reduce the driving device, the mold closing power is used to drive the movable pin 34 to slide to the second working position. In this embodiment, the lower end face of the limit column 341 is an inclined surface extending downward from front to rear, and the inclined surface conflicts with the mold core 20. When the mold is closed, the mold core 20 moves upward relative to the inclined top 30 and produces relative sliding between the inclined surface. The sliding is used to push the inclined surface in the opposite direction, so that the movable pin 34 slides backward to the second working position. Furthermore, the mold core 20 is provided with a mating surface 21 that matches the inclined surface.

The mating groove 37 passes through the left and right end surfaces of the upper end of the inclined top 30, and the mating groove 37 also passes through the lower side surface of the upper end of the inclined top 30. The orifice of the second hole 33 is provided on the bottom wall of the mating groove 37. When the cover plate 35 is connected to the upper end of the inclined top 30, the cover plate 35 is embedded in the mating groove 37. The left and right side surfaces of the cover plate 35 are in the same plane as the left and right side surfaces of the upper end of the inclined top 30, and the rear side surface of the cover plate 35 is in the same plane as the rear side surface of the inclined top 30. Furthermore, the cover plate 35 is detachably connected to the upper end of the inclined top 30 by a bolt 351 that passes through the upper and lower ends of the cover plate 35 and is threadedly connected to the inclined top 30.
[0031] In order to improve the stability of the spring 36 during use, in this embodiment, the front side of the cover plate 35 is provided with a receiving hole 352 for receiving the end of the spring 36.
[0032] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the first hole 32 and the second hole 33 are both rectangular. This arrangement can also prevent the movable pin 34 and the limiting column 341 from rotating. At the same time, for ease of processing, the limiting column 341 and the movable pin 34 are preferably formed in one piece.
[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly.
