Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an injection molding mold, specifically to an injection molding mold for a high-reliability plastic case circuit breaker faceplate. Background Technology
[0002] Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) are widely used in industry, agriculture, transportation, mining, civil construction, and national defense, playing a significant role in power transmission and distribution and motor protection. They are among the most widely used low-voltage electrical products. An MCCB is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions, and also capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions (including short-circuit conditions) within a specified time. During production, the MCCB cover needs to be manufactured using injection molding molds. Existing injection molding molds for MCCB covers lack mold opening and closing counting functions, making it impossible to rationally schedule mold replacement and maintenance time. This makes it impossible to avoid production interruptions and product quality problems caused by mold wear, thus affecting production efficiency and equipment utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an injection molding mold for a highly reliable molded case circuit breaker faceplate that is simple in structure, stable and reliable in performance, and has high production efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a highly reliable injection molding mold for a molded case circuit breaker faceplate, comprising a mold frame, a movable mold plate disposed on the mold frame, a movable mold core disposed within the movable mold plate, a stationary mold plate disposed on the movable mold plate, a stationary mold core disposed within the stationary mold plate, a hot runner plate disposed on the stationary mold plate, a panel disposed on the hot runner plate, and a top plate assembly slidably disposed within the mold frame. A mold cavity for injection molding the faceplate is formed between the movable mold core and the stationary mold core. An opening / closing counter is disposed on the movable mold plate, and a sensor that cooperates with the opening / closing counter is disposed on the stationary mold plate. One end of the sensor has a fixing part fixed to the stationary mold plate, and the other end of the sensor has a sensing part that cooperates with the opening / closing counter. When the movable mold plate and the stationary mold plate are closed, the sensing part of the sensor is close to the sensor of the opening / closing counter.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: An opening and closing counter, which works in conjunction with the sensing element of the stationary mold plate, is installed on the moving mold plate. This counter records the number of times the mold is used in real time, helping companies accurately grasp the mold's usage status, rationally schedule mold replacement and maintenance, and avoid production interruptions and product quality problems caused by mold wear. This improves production efficiency and equipment utilization. By monitoring the mold's usage status in real time, companies can adjust production plans and resource allocation promptly, reducing production costs. Precise counting and real-time monitoring ensure the mold operates in optimal condition, thereby improving product quality and stability. Therefore, this injection molding mold has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, high production efficiency, and high reliability.
[0006] Specifically, the top plate assembly includes a bottom plate slidably disposed within the mold frame, a top plate linked to the bottom plate, and a plurality of ejector pins linked to the top plate. The ejector pins move with the top plate, and each ejector pin is inserted into the mold cavity and abuts against the molded top cover. The ejector pins' movement with the top plate and their insertion into the mold cavity, along with their contact with the molded top cover, facilitate demolding of the top cover, thereby improving the production efficiency of the injection molding mold.
[0007] Specifically, two guide pillars are symmetrically arranged within the mold frame. The bottom plate and top plate each have two guide holes that mate with the two guide pillars. The two guide pillars are inserted into the two guide holes, forming a sliding connection between the bottom plate / top plate and the two guide pillars. The two guide pillars guide the bottom plate / top plate, ensuring reliable operation and thus improving the reliability of the injection molding mold.
[0008] Specifically, the stationary template is rotatably equipped with a locking element, and the moving template is equipped with a locking bolt that mates with the locking element. The locking element is equipped with a locking groove that mates with the locking bolt. The locking groove engages with the locking bolt, forming a snap-fit connection between the locking bolt and the locking element. After the moving and stationary templates are closed, the locking groove of the locking element engages with the locking bolt, thereby locking the moving and stationary templates and improving the mold closing reliability of the injection molding die.
[0009] Specifically, the panel contains a sprue cup, one end of which is inserted into the hot runner. The panel has a sprue port connected to the sprue cup, and a positioning ring is provided on the panel corresponding to the sprue port. The positioning ring on the panel, which mates with the injection molding machine, facilitates the installation of the injection mold and the injection molding machine, making installation more convenient.

The locking element 17 has a locking groove 171 that engages with the locking bolt 18, forming a snap-fit connection. After the moving and stationary mold plates are closed, the locking groove of the locking element engages with the locking bolt, locking the moving and stationary mold plates and further improving the mold closing reliability of the injection mold. The panel 16 contains a sprue cup 161, one end of which is inserted into the hot runner 151 of the hot runner 15. The panel 16 has a sprue 162 communicating with the sprue cup 161, and a positioning ring 19 is provided on the panel 16 corresponding to the sprue 162. The positioning ring on the panel, which mates with the injection molding machine, facilitates the installation of the injection mold and the injection molding machine, making installation more convenient.
[0015] An opening and closing counter is installed on the moving mold platen, which works in conjunction with the sensing element of the stationary mold platen. This counter records the number of times the mold is used in real time, helping companies accurately understand its usage and rationally schedule mold replacement and maintenance. This avoids production interruptions and product quality issues caused by mold wear, thereby improving production efficiency and equipment utilization. By monitoring the mold's usage status in real time, companies can adjust production plans and resource allocation promptly, reducing production costs. Precise counting and real-time monitoring ensure the mold operates in optimal condition, thus improving product quality and stability. Therefore, this injection molding mold has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, high production efficiency, and high reliability.
