[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an injection molding EVA foam mold for preventing mold jamming includes a bottom mold 1, a top mold 2, and a mold core 7. The mold core 7 is formed on the lower surface of the top mold 2. At least one plastic product molding cavity is provided between the bottom mold 1 and the top mold 2. A recess 10 is provided on the bottom mold 1, and a protrusion 20 is provided on the top mold 2. The recess 10 of the bottom mold 1 and the protrusion 20 of the top mold 2 are matched. The bottom mold 1 and the top mold 2 are connected by a fixing rod 11 and a fixing groove 21 to form a plastic product mold. An exhaust channel 12, a feeding channel 13, and a bottom mold groove 14 for molding the structure of the plastic product are provided on the upper surface of the bottom mold 1. An exhaust hole 22 communicating with the exhaust channel 12 and a blocking hole 23 communicating with the feeding channel 13 are also provided on the top mold 2. An outlet hole 140 communicating with the feeding channel 13 is provided in the bottom mold groove 14. At least one air blowing device 3 for blowing air into the bottom mold groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the bottom mold groove 14.

[0034] When the plastic product is a shoe sole or a one-piece slipper, the bottom mold 1 and the top mold 2 are provided with two plastic product molding cavities. Simultaneously, two mold cores 7 are provided on the lower surface of the top mold 2, corresponding to the two bottom mold grooves 14 on the bottom mold. This allows for the molding of one pair of slippers or shoe soles at a time, improving production efficiency. Alternatively, there can be four plastic product molding cavities, allowing for the molding of two pairs of slippers or shoe soles at once. In this case, the number of plastic product molding cavities is the same as the number of mold cores 7 and bottom mold grooves 14.

[0035] In order to allow the injection plastic to enter the bottom mold groove 14 through the feeding channel, at least one feeding hole 130 communicating with the discharge hole 140 is provided on the feeding channel 13. There can be multiple feeding holes 130. The speed of material discharge in the bottom mold groove 14 can be controlled by multiple feeding holes 130. Specifically, a removable plug 131 is provided in the feeding hole 130. When slow feeding is required, the plug 131 is used to block other feeding holes 130, and at least one feeding hole 130 is not equipped with a plug 131.

[0036] In order for the air blowing device to blow air into the bottom mold groove 14, the bottom mold 1 is provided with a mounting hole 15 located in the bottom mold groove 14. The mounting hole 15 penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom mold 1, and the air blowing device 3 is embedded in the mounting hole 15.

[0037] In this preferred embodiment, two air blowing devices are provided at the bottom of the bottom mold groove 14. The two air blowing devices are arranged at both ends of the bottom mold groove, and each air blowing device is installed in the mounting hole 15. This not only prevents the mold from getting stuck, but also allows for quick demolding.

[0038] Specifically, the air blowing device 3 includes a hollow shell 30, with an air inlet 31 at one end and an air outlet 32 ​​at the other end. Inside the hollow shell 30, there is a sealing valve 33 for controlling the flow of gas between the air inlet 31 and the air outlet 32. The sealing valve 33 includes a push rod 34, with a plug 35 at one end for opening or closing the air outlet and a limiting rod 36 at the other end. On both sides of the hollow shell 30, there are slots 37 for the limiting rod to slide, with both ends of the slots 37 axially arranged. The inner wall of the hollow shell 30 has a protruding limiting ring 38. The bottom of the plug 35 abuts against the upper surface of the limiting ring 38. A return spring 39 is sleeved on the push rod 34, with one end of the return spring abutting against the lower surface of the limiting ring 38 and the other end abutting against the limiting rod 36.

[0039] With this configuration, when high-pressure gas enters through the air inlet 31 of the hollow shell 30, the sealing valve 33 is pressurized by the high-pressure gas, and the compression return spring 39 is pushed upward, causing the plug 35 to open the air outlet. The high-pressure gas will then enter the bottom mold groove 14, thereby solving the problem of demolding jamming, preventing plastic products from jamming and deforming, which would easily lead to product defects, high defect rate, serious product scrapping, and increased production costs for enterprises.

[0040] In order to enable high-pressure gas to blow air into the air blowing device 3, a base plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom mold 1. An air inlet cavity 5 is provided between the upper surface of the base plate 4 and the lower surface of the bottom mold 1. A sealing ring 6 is provided between the base plate 4 and the bottom mold 1 at the outer edge of the air inlet cavity 5. An air inlet hole 40 is provided on the base plate 4 to communicate with the air inlet cavity 5. When the high-pressure gas from the outside enters the air inlet cavity 5 through the air inlet hole 40, the air inlet cavity 5 is connected to the air inlet 31 of the air blowing device 3, so that the high-pressure gas is blown into the bottom mold groove 14 through the air blowing device. This facilitates demolding and prevents the mold from getting stuck.

[0041] It should be noted that a sealing ring positioning groove 60 is provided on the base plate 4 for positioning the sealing ring 6, thereby preventing gas leakage.

[0042] It should also be noted that an air inlet groove 41 is provided on the side of the base plate 4 facing the lower surface of the bottom mold. The air inlet groove 41 is connected to the air inlet hole 40. The air inlet groove 41 is provided with an air delivery groove 42 corresponding to the position of the mounting hole 3. The number of air delivery grooves 42 is the same as that of the mounting hole 15, so that the high-pressure gas can be aligned with the position of the mounting hole. As the air pressure in the air inlet chamber 5 increases, the air blowing device blows gas into the bottom mold groove.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
