Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molds, and in particular to an ultra-thick lens injection mold. Background Technology

[0002] As the market develops, there are now stricter requirements for the production efficiency and quality of injection-molded products. Previously, injection-molded lenses were 2-3mm thick; now, based on market demand, there is a need to produce ultra-thick lenses exceeding 17mm in thickness, with visual direction compensation required. For ultra-thick lenses, the optical parameter simulation requirements are high, and the precision requirements are also high. If injection molding is performed using older technology, the molded product will shrink and deform due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in a loss of focus and the inability to achieve proper focusing.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to develop an ultra-thick lens injection mold. This can not only solve the problem of shrinkage and deformation of ultra-thick lenses during the production process, but also ensure the product quality of ultra-thick lenses and greatly improve the output rate of ultra-thick lens injection molded products. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes an ultra-thick lens injection mold. The aim is to solve the problem of shrinkage and deformation during the production of ultra-thick lenses in injection molding, thereby improving product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an ultra-thick lens injection mold, comprising a mold shell, an upper mold base and a lower mold base are provided inside the mold shell, the upper mold base and the lower mold base are respectively fitted with an adjustable injection upper mold and an adjustable injection lower mold, an ejector device is provided at the bottom of the adjustable injection lower mold, the adjustable injection upper mold and the adjustable injection lower mold cooperate to form an injection cavity, an injection port is provided in the middle of the side of the injection cavity, a sprue groove is also provided on the outside of the injection port, the adjustable injection lower mold and the lower mold base cooperate to form an injection groove, an insert for injection molding a compensating lens and an insert for injection molding an assembly port are provided in the injection groove.

[0006] Based on the above, the injection port is located in the middle of the side plate of the injection cavity, enabling uniform injection during the injection process. After injection is completed, the sprue solidifies in the sprue groove. The upper mold base is removed, and the adjustable lower injection mold, along with the product, is ejected by the ejection device. Then, a robotic arm is used to grip the sprue and remove the product, avoiding direct contact with the product and leaving marks that could affect its quality. Furthermore, insert one corresponds to the compensating mirror position on the product and is used for compensating mirrors in the injection-molded product. Insert two is used for the assembly port of the injection-molded product. There is a fitting clearance between insert one, insert two, and the adjustable lower injection mold, allowing for venting and pressure relief to prevent air bubbles and shrinkage deformation.

[0007] Furthermore, both the upper mold base and the lower mold base are equipped with cooling pipes.

[0008] Based on the above, cooling is achieved through the cooling pipe during the injection molding process, which accelerates the cooling and shaping of the product.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustable injection mold has an aspherical surface, and the four ends of the adjustable injection mold have chamfers.

[0010] Based on the above, the chamfer is used to disperse the stress at the four corners of the product, avoid stress concentration, and improve the service life of the product.

[0011] Furthermore, a lower gasket is provided between the ejector device and the bottom surface of the adjustable injection mold, and an upper gasket is provided at the upper end of the adjustable injection mold.

[0012] Based on the above, the product requires high precision in thickness. By using the lower shim in conjunction with the ejection device, the height of the adjustable injection mold can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the optimal height of the adjustable injection mold according to the requirements. At the same time, the height position of the aspherical surface can be adjusted by using the upper shim.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower end of the ejector device is provided with a lifting plate, and the lower end of the ejector device is fixedly engaged with the upper surface of the lifting plate. The lifting plate is also provided with a number of guide posts, and pressure springs are provided on the guide posts.

[0014] Based on the above, the lifting plate is moved upward by an external device, and the ejection device pushes the adjustable injection mold out under the push of the lifting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the mold shell 1 includes an upper mold shell and a lower mold shell. The lower mold shell is provided with positioning male blocks around its perimeter, and the upper mold shell is provided with positioning female blocks that cooperate with the positioning male blocks around its perimeter.

[0016] Based on the above, the positioning male block and the positioning female block can be used to quickly and accurately position the adjustable upper injection mold and the adjustable lower injection mold, ensuring processing accuracy and improving processing efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the ejection device consists of an ejection rod and an ejection panel.

[0018] Based on the above, the large contact area between the ejector panel and the base plate makes ejecting the product easier.

[0019] Furthermore, a pressure plate is provided at the upper end of the upper mold shell, and an injection tube is provided on the pressure plate, which is connected to the injection port.

[0020] Based on the above, the injection tube is used to inject molten adhesive into the injection cavity.

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will further explain this utility model. Attached Figure Description

An adjustable upper injection mold 4 and an adjustable lower injection mold 5 are respectively fitted to the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 3. An ejector device 6 is provided at the bottom of the adjustable lower injection mold 5. The adjustable upper injection mold 4 and the adjustable lower injection mold 5 cooperate to form an injection cavity 7. An injection port 8 is provided in the middle of the side of the injection cavity 7. A sprue groove 9 is also provided on the outer side of the injection port 8. The adjustable lower injection mold 5 and the lower mold base 3 cooperate to form an injection groove 11. An insert 12 for injection molding a compensating lens and an insert 2 13 for injection molding an assembly port are disposed within the injection groove 11. The insert 12 and the insert 2 13 are fixedly installed on the adjustable lower injection mold 5. The first insert 12 corresponds to the position of the compensating mirror on the product 28, and the second insert 13 is used for the assembly port of the injection molded product 28. Both the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 3 are equipped with cooling pipes 10. During production, the product 28 is injected through the injection port 8, and simultaneously cooled by the cooling pipes 10.

[0034] There is a fitting clearance between the first insert 12, the second insert 13, and the adjustable injection mold 5, which allows for venting and pressure relief, preventing air bubbles and shrinkage deformation. During injection molding, cooling is achieved through the cooling pipe 10, accelerating the cooling and shaping of the product 28. After injection molding and cooling, the sprue in the sprue groove 9 solidifies. The upper mold base 2 is removed, and the adjustable injection mold 5, along with the product 28, is ejected via the ejection device 6. Then, a robotic arm grips the sprue and removes the product 28, avoiding direct contact with the product and leaving marks that could affect its quality.

[0035] Preferably, the adjustable injection mold 4 is provided with an aspherical surface 14, and the four ends of the adjustable injection mold 4 are provided with chamfers 15.

The product 28 requires high precision in thickness. By using the lower shim 16 in conjunction with the ejector device 6, the height of the adjustable lower injection mold 5 can be adjusted, thereby allowing for optimal height adjustment according to requirements. Simultaneously, the height position of the aspherical surface 14 can be adjusted via the upper shim 17.

[0037] Preferably, the lower end of the ejector device 6 is provided with a lifting plate 18, and the lower end of the ejector device 6 is fixedly engaged with the upper surface of the lifting plate 18. The lifting plate 18 is also provided with a plurality of guide posts 19, and pressure springs 20 are provided on the guide posts 19. When the lifting plate 18 is moved upward by an external device, the ejector device 6 pushes out the adjustable injection mold 5 under the push of the lifting plate 18. After the external device returns to its original position, the adjustable injection mold 5 resets under the elastic force of the pressure springs 20.

[0038] Preferably, the mold housing 1 includes an upper mold housing 21 and a lower mold housing 22. Positioning male blocks 23a are provided around the perimeter of the lower mold housing 22, and positioning female blocks 23b that cooperate with the positioning male blocks 23a are provided around the perimeter of the upper mold housing 21. Through the cooperation of the positioning male blocks 23a and the positioning female blocks 23b, the adjustable injection upper mold 4 and the adjustable injection lower mold 5 can be quickly and accurately positioned, ensuring processing accuracy and improving processing efficiency.

[0039] Preferably, the ejection device 6 consists of an ejection rod 24 and an ejection panel 25. The ejection panel 25 has a large contact area with the base plate, making it easier to eject the product.

[0040] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: During injection molding, the upper mold housing 21 and the lower mold housing 22 are first matched by the positioning male block 23a and the positioning female block 23b to achieve rapid and precise positioning of the adjustable upper injection mold 4 and the adjustable lower injection mold 5. Then, the molten plastic is introduced into the injection cavity 7 through the injection tube 27 for molding. When the injection is completed, the cooling pipe 10 starts to circulate coolant to cool the mold and allow the product to cool and solidify. After cooling, the upper mold base 2 is removed, and the adjustable lower injection mold 5 is ejected along with the product through the ejection device 6. Then, the product is removed and placed by a robotic arm gripping the sprue, avoiding direct contact with the product 28 and leaving marks.

[0041] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Various modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to this utility model without departing from the essence and protection scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
