Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0021] Please see Figures 1-2 This utility model discloses an injection mold for a washing machine plastic door, including an upper mold 1, a lower mold 2 at the lower part of the upper mold 1, molding cavities 3 on the bottom surface of the upper mold 1 and the top surface of the lower mold 2, an injection cavity 4 on the inner wall of the upper mold 1, and a cleaning component 5 installed on the top surface of the upper mold 1, wherein:

[0022] The cleaning component 5 includes an upper plate 501, which is installed on the top surface of the upper mold 1. The inner wall of the upper plate 501 is provided with four moving slots 504 at equal intervals. Moving blocks 502 are installed on the inner wall of the moving slots 504. A first air chamber 503 is provided on the inner wall of the moving blocks 502. A connecting plate 505 is installed on the outer surface of the moving blocks 502. An air pipe 506 is connected to the inner wall of the first air chamber 503. An extension plate 507 is installed on one side of the connecting plate 505. Power components 6 are installed on both sides of the upper mold 1. An auxiliary frame 508 is installed on the bottom surface of the moving blocks 502. A second air chamber 509 is provided on the inner wall of the auxiliary frame 508. Several spray holes 510 are provided on the outer surface of the auxiliary frame 508.

[0023] The power assembly 6 includes a mounting plate 601, which is symmetrically mounted on both sides of the upper mold 1. A cylinder 602 is mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate 601.

[0024] The molding cavity 3 is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the upper mold 1, the molding cavity 3 is located in the middle of the top surface of the lower mold 2, the injection cavity 4 is located in the inner wall of the upper mold 1, and the output end of the injection cavity 4 is connected to the molding cavity 3 of the upper mold 1.

[0025] Molten plastic material is injected into the injection cavity 4 of the upper mold 1. Under pressure, the plastic fills the molding cavity 3, forming the initial shape of the washing machine door. After injection molding, wait for the plastic to cool and solidify inside the mold. At this point, the injection molding machine can be turned off to prepare for the next step. Example 2

[0026] Based on the above embodiment 1, please refer to Figures 3-5 The bottom surface of the upper plate 501 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the upper mold 1, and the outer surface of the moving block 502 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 504.

[0027] The first air chamber 503 is connected to the inner wall of the air tube 506. The connecting plate 505 and the moving block 502 are fixedly connected to each other. The top surface of the moving block 502 is higher than the top surface of the upper plate 501. The connecting plate 505 and the extension plate 507 are higher than the top surface of the upper plate 501.

[0028] The bottom surface of the movable block 502 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the auxiliary frame 508. The inner walls of the first air chamber 503 and the second air chamber 509 are interconnected. The nozzle 510 is opened around the auxiliary frame 508. The nozzle 510 is opened at an angle. The outer surface of the auxiliary frame 508 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the molding cavity 3 of the upper mold 1.

[0029] One side of the mounting plate 601 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper mold 1, the top surface of the mounting plate 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cylinder 602, and the extended end of the cylinder 602 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension plate 507.

[0030] After the washing machine door cools and solidifies, cylinder 602 is activated. The extended end of cylinder 602 pushes extension plate 507 and connecting plate 505, causing moving block 502 to slide within moving groove 504. As moving block 502 moves, auxiliary frame 508 moves to above the molding cavity 3 of upper mold 1. At this time, air is supplied to the first air cavity 503 and the second air cavity 509 through air pipe 506. Gas is ejected from nozzle 510 of auxiliary frame 508, covering all corners of mold molding cavity 3 in an inclined manner, thoroughly removing residual plastic and impurities.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Start the injection molding machine and inject molten plastic raw material into the injection cavity 4 of the upper mold 1. Under pressure, the plastic fills the molding cavity 3, forming the initial shape of the washing machine door. After injection molding, wait for the plastic to cool and solidify within the mold. At this time, the injection molding machine can be turned off to prepare for the next operation. After the washing machine door has cooled and solidified, start the cylinder 602. The extended end of the cylinder 602 pushes the extension plate 507 and the connecting plate 505, causing the moving block 502 to slide within the moving groove 504. As the moving block 502 moves, the auxiliary frame 508 moves to the top of the molding cavity 3 of the upper mold 1. At this time, air is supplied to the first air cavity 503 and the second air cavity 509 through the air pipe 506. The gas is ejected from the nozzle 510 of the auxiliary frame 508, covering all corners of the molding cavity 3 of the mold in an inclined manner, thoroughly removing residual plastic and impurities.

[0032] Assisted ejection: During the cleaning process, the outer surface of the auxiliary frame 508 slides in contact with the inner wall of the upper mold cavity 3, which not only plays a cleaning role but also assists in ejecting the formed washing machine door. After cleaning is completed, the cylinder 602 retracts, and the moving block 502 and the auxiliary frame 508 return to their initial positions, ready for the next injection molding.
