Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molds, and in particular to injection molds for connectors used in medical surgical robots. Background Technology
[0002] Connector housings are used to assemble connector terminals and achieve mating with other connectors. They not only have certain requirements for the appearance of the injection molded part, but also demand high dimensional and strength qualities. The gate of an injection mold is a short, narrow channel connecting the runner and the cavity; it is the entrance for resin injection into the cavity. The shape, number, size, and location of the gate in the mold have a significant impact on the quality of the plastic part. Therefore, the selection of the gate is one of the key points in plastic mold design.

The colloid can be directly injected into the molding cavity, which simplifies the mold manufacturing process to a certain extent and helps to shorten the production cycle. It is suitable for injection molding of connector housings. However, after injection molding, the gate will be connected to the product. How to separate the product and the gate is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solution protected by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] This invention proposes an injection mold for a connector used in medical surgical robots. By controlling the mold opening sequence, the top gate can be smoothly separated from the product. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The injection mold includes a mating upper mold assembly and a lower mold assembly; wherein, a molding cavity 100 is provided between the upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly, and a hot runner system is provided inside the upper mold assembly. The colloid is injected from the top of the molding cavity 100 to form the connector housing to be manufactured in the molding cavity. After injection molding is completed, by controlling the mold opening sequence, the gate is first separated from the product, and then the product is ejected, thereby completing the injection molding process.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper mold assembly includes an upper fixing plate 10 and an upper template 11, and the lower mold assembly includes a lower fixing plate 20 and a lower template 21. An upper mold core 12 is provided below the upper template 11, and the upper mold core 12 has a concave cavity. Correspondingly, a lower mold core 22 is provided above the lower template 21, and the lower mold core 22 has a lower mold insert 220 inserted into the concave cavity. By cooperating with the upper mold insert 120 provided in the upper template, the upper mold core 12 is used to form the external shape of the connector housing to be manufactured, while the lower mold core 22 is used to form the internal structure of the connector housing to be manufactured. The forming cavity 100 is the space between the concave cavity of the upper mold core 12 and the lower mold insert 220 extending into the concave cavity, that is, the product is formed in this space.
[0033] The hot runner system is disposed within the upper fixed plate 10, and a stripper plate 13 is disposed on the lower surface of the upper fixed plate 10. The stripper plate 13 can move relative to the upper fixed plate 10 by a certain stroke through the first limiting screw 14. Specifically, one end of the first limiting screw 14 is fixedly connected to the stripper plate 13, and the other end extends into the limiting groove of the upper fixed plate 10. The limiting groove is opened on the upper surface of the upper fixed plate 10, and its depth is the stroke of relative movement between the stripper plate 13 and the upper fixed plate 10.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a second limiting screw 15 is also fixedly connected to the stripping plate 13. The other end of the second limiting screw 15 extends into the lower template 21. By opening a limiting groove on the lower surface of the lower template 21, the other end of the second limiting screw 15 moves in the limiting groove, thereby controlling the movement stroke between the upper template 11 and the upper fixing plate 10.
[0035] Meanwhile, opening and closing device assemblies 30 are also provided on the two outer walls of the injection mold to control the opening stroke between the upper mold assembly and the lower mold assembly; such as Figure 1As shown, the opening / closing device assembly 30 includes a first opening / closing rod 31 and a second opening / closing rod 32. One end of the first opening / closing rod 31 is rotatably mounted on the lower template 21, and the other end is movably connected to the upper template 12. The lower template 21 is provided with an elastic sheet 33 to restrict the other end of the first opening / closing rod 31 from disengaging from the upper template. One end of the second opening / closing rod 32 is fixedly connected to the upper fixing plate 10, and the other end is a free end, i.e., not fixed to any component, and the free end is provided with a travel limiting protrusion 320. Correspondingly, a travel limiting rod 310 extends from one side of the first opening / closing rod 31. When the upper fixing plate 10 moves to a set travel distance, the travel limiting rod 310 moves along the travel limiting protrusion 320 to separate the other end of the first opening / closing rod 31 from the upper template 11.
[0036] Further, the hot runner system includes a main runner 400 disposed within the upper fixed plate 10, a connecting runner 410 disposed on the hot runner plate 40 between the upper template 11 and the stripper plate 13, and a glue inlet runner 420 communicating with the molding cavity 100; as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting channel 410 is horizontally arranged to connect the main channel 400 and the glue inlet channel 420. A pull pin 50 is also fixedly arranged on the upper fixed plate 10. The pull pin 50 extends above the connection between the connecting channel and the glue inlet channel 420. When the upper fixed plate 10 moves relative to the upper template 11, the pull pin 50 can pull the material head to separate it from the product.
[0037] After injection molding is completed, during the mold opening process, within the stroke range of the lower mold plate 21 and the upper mold plate 11, under the action of the elastic sheet 33, the first opening and closing rod 31 restricts the separation of the upper mold plate 11 and the lower mold plate 21; as the lower mold assembly retracts, the parting surface of the upper mold plate and the upper fixed plate is separated first, and the upper mold plate 11 retracts the stroke of the second limiting screw 15. Under the drive of the pull pin 50, the sprue in the injection channel is pulled out; as the upper mold plate... Following step 11, the stripper plate 13 moves relative to the upper fixed plate 10 by the stroke of the first limiting screw 14, causing the sprue to separate from the pull pin and fall off. Subsequently, the lower mold assembly continues to retract, the opening and closing assembly is opened, and the parting surface of the molding cavity is opened. Then, under the action of the lower mold ejector rod 25 and the lower mold ejector pin 26 on the ejector plate 24 located between the lower fixed plate 20 and the lower mold plate 21, the product is ejected. Finally, under the action of the return spring 27, the mold is reset, waiting for the next injection molding.
[0038] In order to improve the service life of the mold, a lower mold top block 23 is provided on the upper surface of the lower mold core 22. In this embodiment, the lower mold top block 23 can not only prevent the high-temperature colloid from directly contacting the lower mold core, but also ensure the installation stability of the lower mold insert 220 to a certain extent.
[0039] In addition, to ensure alignment during mold opening and closing, a female mold guide post 16 is extended from the upper fixed plate 10, and a female mold guide sleeve 17 is correspondingly provided on the upper template 11; the female mold guide post 16 extends into the lower template 21; a push plate guide post 18 is also extended from the upper fixed plate 10; and a push plate guide sleeve 19 is correspondingly provided on the stripper plate 13.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
