[0002] Current injection molds are equipped with ejector pins to eject the molded product, and the slider is positioned during mold closing to facilitate product formation. Consequently, the following situation can easily occur: after the mold is opened and the product is ejected and removed by the ejector pin, the ejector pin must be reset before the next mold closing process begins, allowing the slider to move directly over the ejector pin during the mold closing process. However, if the ejector pin is not fully reset, the slider and the ejector pin can collide, causing damage to the mold and requiring maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0016] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0017] The utility model provides an injection mold with ejector return sensing, comprising an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2 that cooperate with each other, the lower mold 2 being provided with an ejector mechanism 3, the ejector mechanism 3 comprising an ejector plate 5, an induction switch 6, a trigger member 7 and a plurality of ejectors 8 arranged on the ejector plate 5, the ejector plate 5 being movably arranged on the lower mold 2, the induction switch 6 being mounted on the lower mold 2, the trigger member 7 being mounted on the ejector plate 5, the trigger member 7 being raised and lowered with the ejector plate 5 to trigger the induction switch 6, and the induction switch 6 being used to be electrically connected to a driving mechanism that drives the upper mold 1 from the outside.

[0018] During actual use, the lower mold 2 is movably provided with a slider 4, and the slider 4 is used to slide to a specific position when the mold is closed.

[0019] After injection molding is completed, the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 open. As the mold opening proceeds, the slider 4 returns to its original position and moves away from the product. The slider 4 is then driven upward by the ejector plate 5, whereby the ejector pins 8 on the ejector plate 5 eject the product from the core of the lower mold 2. After the product is removed, the ejector plate 5 is driven downward, causing the trigger member 7 to descend with it until the trigger member 7 triggers the sensor switch 6, at which point the ejector plate 5 returns to its original position. Subsequently, when the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2 are closed and the slider 4 is driven to move, the slider 4 will not collide with the ejector pins 8.

[0020] In this embodiment, the trigger member 7 is provided with an adjusting slot 71 , and the ejector plate 5 is provided with a fixing hole. The adjusting slot 71 is connected to the fixing hole and fixed by a screw 9 .

[0021] That is, different trigger members 7 may have dimensional errors. The present invention provides an adjustment slot 71 so that the staff can adjust the relative position of the adjustment slot 71 and the fixed hole according to the actual size of the trigger member 7, and then fix the two together with a screw 9 to ensure the accuracy of the position of the trigger member 7, that is, to ensure that the ejector pin 8 has been completely reset when the trigger member 7 triggers the sensor switch 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the present invention.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower mold 2 is further provided with a plurality of guide posts 10, on which the ejector plate 5 is slidably mounted. Springs 11 are mounted on the outer sleeves of the guide posts 10, with the ends of the springs 11 connecting the top of the ejector plate 5 to the lower mold 2. The guide posts 10 are used to guide the ejector plate 5 in a predetermined direction, while the springs 11 are used to apply elastic force to the ejector plate 5 during reset, thereby ensuring reliable reset of the ejector plate 5.

[0023] Specifically, the sensor switch 6 is a photoelectric switch, a contact switch, a micro switch, or a pressure sensor. In this embodiment, the sensor switch 6 is a micro switch, with micro switches installed on both sides of the lower mold 2 and trigger members 7 installed on both sides of the ejector plate 5. Using a highly sensitive device as the sensor switch 6 ensures reliable operation of the present invention.

[0024] In this embodiment, the lower mold 2 is further provided with a driving module 12 for driving the ejector plate 5 to rise and fall. The driving module 12 is electrically connected to the induction switch 6; the driving module 12 is electrically connected to an alarm (not shown in the figure).

[0025] The drive module 12 can be a commonly used linear drive module 12 such as a gas spring 11 or a cylinder, and is used to drive the ejector plate 5 to move up and down. The alarm is preferably a buzzer. That is, when the drive module 12 fails to reset the ejector plate 5 within a preset time (i.e., the induction switch 6 is triggered by the trigger 7), the utility model encounters an accident such as the ejector plate 5 being stuck. At this time, the alarm is sounded through the alarm, and the drive mechanism is controlled to stop operation, so that the staff can safely investigate and handle the utility model.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the above-disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present invention, which do not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
