Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of punching technology, and in particular to a punching tool for plastic parts. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, such as Figure 1 The square plastic part shown has screw holes at its four corners for connection and fixation. These screw holes are through holes. During injection molding, due to the flow characteristics of the molten plastic, when two or more streams of molten plastic meet within the hole, they may not completely fuse, forming a noticeable weld line at the meeting point. This weld line is usually located in the weakest area of ​​the hole, i.e., where the molten plastic flows converge. The presence of the weld line adversely affects the structural strength of the plastic part. Because the molten plastic at the weld line is not completely fused, the molecular chains in this area may not be tightly packed, leading to a decrease in mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. To solve this problem, the existing method is to design the screw holes as blind holes and then process the plastic at the blind holes. Traditional processing methods often use manual drilling, which has the following drawbacks: First, it is inefficient, as manual operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production; second, the debris generated during the process easily adheres to the product surface and is difficult to completely remove. This not only affects the appearance quality of the product but may also lead to customer complaints due to debris residue, causing unnecessary losses to the company. Summary of the Invention
