Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to AR lens technical field especially relates to a lens injection runner, injection mold of AR lens. BACKGROUND

[0002] AR and other surreal experiences have been widely used in aerospace, aviation, military, education, navigation, retail, warehousing, tourism, social interaction, games and other aspects. For example, HUD (Head Up Display) is the most widely used AR technology in vehicles, so that drivers can see the windshield glass speed, navigation and other driving information without lowering their heads, thereby improving the driver's attention. AR technology has penetrated into all aspects of people's production and life, and more and more people feel the convenience and colorful life brought by technological development.

[0003] AR lens is usually designed to be large, with a maximum length of about 42mm and a maximum width of about 20mm. The maximum length and width are generally designed to fit the human eye, so that a large enough field of view can be ensured, and the thickness is distributed between 1.3 and 1.8mm.

[0004] Due to the large size of AR lens, a fan-shaped gate is usually used. During injection molding, the melt is ejected from the nozzle of the injection molding machine, enters the main runner, then enters the branch runner, and finally enters the product through the gate to complete the injection filling process. Considering the large and thin design of AR lens, in order to fill smoothly, the thickness of the gate is generally designed to be close to the thickness of the product. When the injection speed is too fast, the plastic flow is unstable, which leads to easy spraying during filling. The sprayed melt is in a snake shape, which has a great impact on the appearance of AR lens and seriously reduces the yield. In order to eliminate the spray marks, slow injection speed is generally used to pass through the gate, and then the injection speed is appropriately increased after the melt flows through the gate. In addition, when the material temperature or mold temperature is too low, the melt viscosity is high, the shear stress is large, and the melt is easy to break, which is prone to spraying. By increasing the material temperature or mold temperature, the spraying effect can be inhibited, but these need to be controlled based on the molding conditions, which has certain control difficulty and requires large economic cost.

[0022] Embodiment one

[0023] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the embodiments of the present application disclose a lens injection runner of an AR lens, which comprises a main runner 1, a plurality of sub-runners 2 and a gate 3 corresponding to the sub-runners 2. Figures 1-3 The main runner 1 is communicated with each of the sub-runners 2, each of the sub-runners 2 is communicated with one of the gates 3, and each of the gates 3 is communicated with one of the mold cavities 4 of the AR lens. The molten glue in the main runner 1 flows into each of the sub-runners 2 and then flows into the mold cavity 4 of the AR lens corresponding to the gate 3 through the corresponding gate 3 of the sub-runner 2. Each of the sub-runners 2 is provided with a groove 21 recessed towards the inside of the runner at a position close to the gate 3, and the groove 21 is arched in the direction of the runner of the sub-runner 2. The groove 21 is used to increase the flow resistance and reduce the flow speed of the molten glue in the runner.

[0024] ​The utility model discloses an embodiment is provided with recess 21 on the position of runner 3 close to the position of runner 3 on the runner 2, the main role of this recess 21 is to make the speed of melt glue flow through runner 3 slow, avoid the phenomenon of injection when melt glue enters the mold cavity 4 of AR lens, wherein, recess 21 is arc, when melt glue flows to recess 21, equivalent to melt glue in upward " climbing the hill ", flow resistance increases, therefore flow rate reduces, this can guarantee that melt glue evenly and relatively slowly from the end of flow channel flows into runner 3, instead of directly from flow channel into runner 3 with higher speed, can reduce the probability of the occurrence of injection phenomenon, avoid the injection of AR lens and appear injection mark, guarantee the appearance yield of AR lens.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, the diameter of the runner 2 is 4-5mm.

[0026] In another alternative embodiment, the radius of the recess 21 is 2-2.5mm.

[0027] In another alternative embodiment, the distance between the recess 21 and the end of the runner 2 in the direction of flow channel is 0.3-0.6mm.

[0028] In another alternative embodiment, the runner 3 is a fan-shaped runner 3.

[0029] In another alternative embodiment, the direction of the main runner 1 is vertical direction.

[0030] In another alternative embodiment, the direction of the runner 2 is horizontal direction.

[0031] In another alternative embodiment, the recess 21 is located at the bottom of the runner 2.

[0032] The main role of the groove 21 is to slow down the speed of the molten glue flowing through the gate 3, so as to avoid the spraying phenomenon of the molten glue when entering the AR lens. The R value (groove radius) of the groove 21 and the distance L of the groove 21 from the end of the flow distribution channel 2 are two important factors affecting the speed reduction effect of the molten glue. If the R value of the groove 21 is too large, the arch amplitude of the groove 21 is smaller, and therefore the speed reduction effect of the molten glue is poorer. If the distance L of the groove 21 from the end of the flow distribution channel 2 is farther, the molten glue cannot be slowed down near the gate 3, and cannot prevent the spraying effect. Therefore, appropriate R value and distance L can obtain the best speed reduction effect. Through repeated practice, different combination schemes of R value and distance L are formulated, and then the mold is made and tested, and finally it is determined that when the diameter of the flow distribution channel 2 is generally distributed in 4-5mm, the R value is between 2-2.5, and the distance L is between 0.3-0.6mm, the speed reduction effect is better, and the spraying phenomenon does not occur on the AR lens, so that the appearance problem of the spraying trace is not caused. In addition, through practical experience, it is found that the diameter of the flow distribution channel 2 of the AR lens is generally distributed in 4-5mm, which is the most suitable. If the diameter of the flow distribution channel 2 is too large, not only the water gate material is wasted, but also the speed reduction effect of the groove 21 is not good. If the diameter of the flow distribution channel 2 is too small, the injection pressure is too high, the injection speed is accelerated, and the spraying phenomenon is also caused.
