[0029] The key cap reverse inclined type injection mold of the preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-7 The upper surface of the lower die core 20 is longitudinally provided with a through hole 21, the through hole 21 is fixedly assembled with a ejector pin sleeve 30, when assembled in place, the outer side wall of the ejector pin sleeve 30 is tightly fitted with the inner side wall of the through hole 21; the ejector pin sleeve 30 is provided with an ejector pin body 40 matched with the inner cavity thereof, when assembled in place, the outer side wall of the ejector pin body 40 is coaxially and slidingly fitted with the inner side wall of the ejector pin sleeve 30; the ejector pin body 40 is provided with an inner cavity groove 41 on the top end face, the inner cavity groove 41 penetrates the side wall of the ejector pin body 40; the upper end of the ejector pin sleeve 30 is located in the through hole 21, the top end of the ejector pin body 40 extends out of the through hole 21, further, the top end face of the ejector pin sleeve 30 is provided with an annular protruding portion 31 matched with the side wall of the ejector pin body 40, the side wall of the annular protruding portion 31 away from the ejector pin body is an inclined surface; the lower surface of the upper die core 10 is provided with an upper cavity 11 corresponding to the upper end of the ejector pin body 40, when the mold is closed, the upper cavity 11, the side wall of the through hole 21, the top end face of the ejector pin sleeve 30, the outer side wall of the one end of the ejector pin body 40 extending out of the ejector pin sleeve 30 and the inner cavity groove 41 together form an injection cavity 50.

[0030] Further, the upper surface of the upper die core 10 is provided with an upper flow guide groove 12, and the inner wall of one end of the upper flow guide groove 12 is provided with a through groove 13 communicating with the upper cavity groove 11. The through groove 13 is inclined and its upper end is opposite to one end of the side wall of the inner cavity groove 41 penetrating the needle body 40. Thus, when the molten glue enters the upper cavity groove 11, part of the molten glue can be sprayed upwards into the inner cavity groove 41 in advance to avoid the generation of bubbles due to the simultaneous entry of a large amount of molten glue into the inner cavity groove 41, thereby ensuring the injection molding quality of the product.

[0031] In the embodiment, the inner cavity groove 41 is cross-shaped and penetrates the side wall of the needle body 40 at four ends. Any one end of the inner cavity groove 41 penetrating the side wall of the needle body 40 is opposite to the through groove 13 and is located in the same vertical plane, so as to ensure that the molten glue can enter the inner cavity groove 41 in the first time when it enters the upper cavity groove 11 through the through groove 13, and at the same time, can diffuse around and enter the through hole 21 and gradually fill the entire injection molding cavity from bottom to top.

[0032] In the embodiment, the through groove 13 is frustum-shaped and its smaller end is adjacent to the upper cavity groove 11. The height of the outlet 131 of the through groove 13 is less than the height of the outlet of one end of the inner cavity groove 41 penetrating the side wall of the needle body 40. Thus, the upper end side wall of the needle body 40 is used to divide the flow of the molten glue, so that part of the molten glue moves upwards into the inner cavity groove 41, and the other part of the molten glue moves downwards and circumferentially into the upper cavity groove 11 and the through hole 21.

[0033] In the embodiment, the outlet of the through groove 13 is semicircular and its arc-shaped end faces downward to reduce the water hole diameter of the injection molded part after the molten glue solidifies.

[0034] In the embodiment, the upper surface of the lower die core 20 is provided with a lower flow guide groove 22 corresponding to the upper flow guide groove 12, and the lower flow guide groove 22 and the upper flow guide groove 12 jointly enclose a flow guide channel 60, so as to facilitate the early processing and manufacturing and the later maintenance and cleaning.

[0035] In the embodiment, the mold further includes an upper die seat 70 and a lower die seat 80 respectively fixing the upper die core 10 and the lower die core 20. The upper surface of the upper die seat 70 is provided with an injection glue inlet 71, and the upper die core 10 is provided with a communication flow channel 14 communicating the injection glue inlet 71 and the upper flow guide groove 12. The injection glue inlet 71 and the communication flow channel 14 cooperate with the injection molding machine to ensure that the molten glue can smoothly enter the inside of the injection molding cavity 50.

[0036] Further, the ejector sleeve 30 penetrates the lower die seat 80, and the lower end of the ejector body 40 extends out of the ejector sleeve 30, wherein the lower end of the lower die seat 80 is vertically fixed with a guide column 90 penetrating an activity seat 110, the activity seat 110 is provided between the lower die seat 80 and a buffer spring 100, the buffer spring 100 is sleeved on the guide column 90, the lower end of the lower die seat 80 is provided with the activity seat 110, the ejector sleeve 30 is fixed on the activity seat 110, the lower end of the activity seat 110 is provided with a fixed seat 120, the fixed seat 120 is fixed with the lower end of the guide column 90, the lower end of the ejector body 40 is fixed with the fixed seat 120, in the actual processing process, the activity seat 110 is driven to move up and down by the mechanical arm of the injection molding machine, and then the ejector sleeve 30 can be pushed to move up and down, when demolding, the injection molding part can be ensured to smoothly separate from the ejector body 40 and the through hole 21 through the ejector sleeve 30.

[0037] In the embodiment, the fixed seat 120 is provided with a support seat 130 on both opposite sides of the activity seat 110 to support the lower die seat 80, so as to fix the upper die seat 70 and the fixed seat, and provide the activity space for the up and down movement of the activity seat 110.

[0038] It should be understood that the above description can be improved or changed by those skilled in the art, and all these improvements and changes shall belong to the protection scope of the appended claims of the utility model.
