Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, and in particular to an injection mold for a rearview mirror button assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molds are tools used to produce plastic products. Specifically, they involve injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity under high pressure using an injection molding machine, where it cools and solidifies to obtain a product with a specific shape. However, most existing injection molds are single-color molds, meaning the product uses only one material. For special products made with two types of plastic materials, two-color molds are required.
[0003] like Figure 10 The rearview mirror button assembly shown includes a bottom cover a and a transparent button b. During production, the bottom cover a part of the first color is first injection molded. The lower mold of the first color is then moved to the lower mold of the second color for injection molding of the transparent button b. Finally, the finished product is ejected by the ejection mechanism of the lower mold. However, in the existing ejection method, the ejector pins are all positioned in the middle area of the bottom of the finished product. Some finished products are stuck to the lower mold and are difficult to eject. Forcing the product out with the ejector pins can easily damage the finished product. Utility Model Content
