[0014] As attached Figures 1-4As shown, a TPU injection-molded handle sprue cutting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 1, a guide rod 2, a guide bushing 3, a top plate 4, a fixing column 5, a connecting sleeve 6, a fixing plate 7, a pressure plate 8, a bottom plate 9, a right cylinder support 10, a right cylinder 11, a right connecting block 12, a platform plate 13, a right transmission rod 14, a support plate 15, a limiting plate 16, a right guide seat 17, a right fixing block 18, a right cutter 19, a left cutter 20, a left fixing block 21, a left guide seat 22, a left transmission rod 23, a left connecting block 24, a left cylinder 25, a left cylinder support 26, a TPU handle 27, a right limiting block 28, an inner right limiting strip 29, a limiting cylinder 30, a support column 31, a cylinder top plate 32, a cylinder fixing plate 33, a limiting soft rubber plate 34, an inner left limiting strip 35, a left limiting block 36, and a sprue 37.
[0015] As attached Figures 1-4 After injection molding, the TPU handle 27 is connected to the sprue 37. When the sprue 37 is cut off, the TPU handle 27 and the sprue 37 are placed on the support plate 15. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 1 moves downward, pushing the connecting sleeve 6, the fixing plate 7, the guide rod 2, and the pressure plate 8 downward together. The pressure plate 8 presses the TPU handle 27 down onto the support plate 15. The telescopic rod of the limiting cylinder 30 pushes the cylinder top plate 32, the cylinder fixing plate 33, and the limiting soft rubber plate 34 horizontally backward. The limiting soft rubber plate 34 presses the TPU handle 27 against the side wall of the limiting plate 16. The position of the TPU handle 27 is determined by the pressure plate 8, the limiting soft rubber plate 34, the support plate 15, the limiting plate 16, and the left side. Limiting block 36, right limiting block 28, inner left limiting strip 35 and inner right limiting strip 29 limit and fix them on support plate 15. The telescopic rod of left cylinder 25 extends horizontally to the right, pushing left connecting block 24, left transmission rod 23, left fixing block 21 and left cutter 20 to move horizontally to the right. The telescopic rod of right cylinder 11 extends horizontally to the left, pushing right connecting block 12, right transmission rod 14, right fixing block 18 and right cutter 19 to move horizontally to the left. Left cutter 20 and right cutter 19 move towards each other to cut off sprue 37 from TPU handle 27. After sprue 37 is cut off, the telescopic rods of cylinder 1, limiting cylinder 30, left cylinder 25 and right cylinder 11 retract, and the mechanism returns to its initial state.
[0016] As attached Figure 7 The concave arc surface on the upper surface of the left cutter 20 and the right cutter 19 shown is consistent with the convex arc surface on the lower surface of the TPU handle 27. After the sprue 37 is removed, the lower surface of the TPU handle 27 is convex arc surface.
[0017] As attached Figure 5 The TPU handle 27 shown is connected to the sprue 37 during injection molding. After the sprue 37 is removed, the TPU handle 27 product is obtained. The final TPU handle 27 product is shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown.
[0018] A TPU injection molded handle sprue removal mechanism uses a cylinder to push left and right cutters to remove the sprue portion of the injection molded handle. The shape of the cutters can be processed to the corresponding surface shape of the designed handle to ensure the shape and surface quality of the handle surface at the sprue removal location.
[0019] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is intended to illustrate the content and concept of the present utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
