AI Technical Summary
Existing foamed parts suffer from high pressure issues during the molding process due to film covering, resulting in a decrease in yield. Furthermore, the puncture location is difficult to control, making them unsuitable for use in poorly sealed cavities and affecting waterproof performance.
Both the upper and lower molds are equipped with venting devices with piercing needles. The piercing needles are driven by a cylinder module to insert into the cavity and pierce the film to release air. The venting position is controlled by a solenoid valve to ensure that the piercing position is controllable and the waterproof performance is optimized.
It improves the yield rate of foamed parts, ensures controllable puncture locations, avoids the impact of high pressure, enhances waterproof performance, and adapts to the needs of parts with different shapes and installation positions.

[0006] The foaming part is processed by using a foaming mould, specifically, the foaming material is filled into the cavity, and then the moulding is formed. In the moulding process, gas needs to be dispersed outwardly. The ordinary foaming part only needs to open a gas discharge groove at the edge of the mould to solve the moulding and gas discharge problems of the mould, but this new type of waterproof foaming part needs to rely on the high pressure of the internal film due to the external covering of the plastic film. In this way, first, the position of the crack is difficult to predict, and it may be in some positions more easily contacting water. Second, the high pressure will make it difficult to prepare the foaming part according to the design parameters, thereby resulting in low yield. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
