[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is to provide an in-mold bending mechanism, comprising:

[0006] a spring plate;

[0007] a seat plate provided at the bottom of the spring plate and having a support portion extending into the spring plate;

[0008] a sliding block movably provided on the spring plate;

[0009] The combination of the sliding block and the support portion provides internal and external support for the bending part on the insert during the clamping process. During the opening process, the spring plate moves away from the seat plate, so that the support portion releases the bending space of the bending part. Then, the sliding block pushes the bending part inward, causing it to bend.

[0010] With the above structure, the in-mold bending mechanism can automatically complete the bending operation of the bending part of the metal insert during the injection molding process, thereby effectively reducing the dependence on manual operation. By controlling the relative position of the slider and the support part, it is ensured that the bending part is fully supported inside and outside when the mold is closed, preventing deformation of the bending part during injection molding. When the mold is opened, the movement of the elastic plate and the release of the support part allow the bending part to have sufficient bending space, and the slider plays the role of automatic bending during this process, that is, the slider moves towards the support part, causing the bending part to bend. This process can reduce errors caused by manual operation, improve bending accuracy and consistency. Not only does it optimize the production process, but it also significantly reduces labor costs, improves production efficiency and overall product quality.

This elastic tendency allows the elastic plate to automatically move outward during mold opening, thereby releasing the bending space of the bending part and ensuring that the slider can accurately push the bending part to complete the bending operation.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present application, an oil cylinder is fixedly installed on the elastic plate to drive the slider to move. The oil cylinder controls the displacement of the slider to accurately adjust its movement trajectory on the elastic plate, ensuring that the slider can accurately perform the bending operation during mold closing and opening.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present application, the support part has a forming protrusion for forming a groove on the injection molded part.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present application, the side of the support part facing the slider is provided with an avoidance groove, and the avoidance groove is adapted to the bending part. This ensures that the combination of the support part and the slider can fix the bending part on both the inner and outer sides.
