Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for injection molds, and in particular to an in-mold gate cutting device for plastic part molding molds. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic molding molds, or simply plastic molds, are important tools used to produce plastic products. They mainly consist of two parts: a moving mold and a fixed mold. The moving mold is installed on the moving platen of the injection molding machine, while the fixed mold is installed on the fixed platen of the injection molding machine. The in-mold gate cutting device can automatically complete the gate cutting work inside the mold, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, improving product quality and stability, and adapting to diversified production needs.
[0003] Current molds lack the function of automatically cutting sprues, which means that sprues need to be manually cut in subsequent processes. This requires a lot of manpower, increases the company's labor costs, and takes more time to complete the cutting task. This may lead to a longer production cycle and make it impossible to meet the needs of mass production or urgent orders.
[0004] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for an in-mold gate cutting device for plastic part molding dies to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of current molds that lack automatic gate cutting function, this utility model provides an in-mold gate cutting device for plastic part molding molds.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The above-described solution will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are generally those in routine experiments.
[0020] Example: An in-mold gate cutting device for a plastic part molding die, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the assembly includes a mounting frame 1, guide rods 2, a first mold 3, an injection tube 301, a second mold 4, a cylinder 5, a cutter 6, and a buffer pad 7. The mounting frame 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the parts. A square opening is formed on the lower side of the mounting frame. Four guide rods 2 are horizontally welded to the inner side of the mounting frame 1, arranged in a rectangular pattern. The first mold 3 is slidably connected between the four guide rods 2. The right side of the first mold 3 has symmetrically arranged grooves on both sides. The injection tube 301 is symmetrically connected to the lower front side of the upper first mold 3. The second mold 4 is slidably connected between the four guide rods 2 and is located to the right of the first mold 3. Cylinders 5 are installed on both sides of the rear. The ends of the telescopic rods of the two cylinders 5 facing each other are connected to cutters 6. The cutters 6 can slide in the groove on the first mold 3. The cutters 6 are U-shaped, and the edge of the inner circle of the cutter 6 facing each other is set as the back of the blade, and the edge of the opposite side is set as the blade edge, which facilitates the demolding of the sprue. The first mold 3 is symmetrically connected with buffer pads 7 at the front and back. Both buffer pads 7 are located between the two cutters 6. When the cylinders 5 are started, the cutters 6 are moved to precisely cut the sprue. The buffer pads 7 absorb the impact force generated during the cutting process, protecting the mold and cutters from damage. The sprue and plastic parts are automatically demolded by the back of the cutter 6 and the ejection device, respectively.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, it also includes a fixed frame 8, a guide plate 10, elastic elements 12, a motor 13, and a conveying assembly 14. The fixed frame 8 is welded to the lower side of the mounting frame 1. Elastic elements 12 are evenly spaced on the fixed frame 8. The top of the elastic elements 12 is connected to the guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 is located between the mounting frame 1 and the fixed frame 8. The motor 13 is installed on the fixed frame 8. The conveying assembly 14 is installed on the fixed frame 8. The conveying assembly 14 consists of pulleys and a flat belt. Two pulleys are rotatably connected to the fixed frame 8. A flat belt is wound between the two pulleys. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the pulley near the guide plate through a coupling. The conveying assembly 14 is located to the right of the elastic elements 12. The plastic part of the sprue moves to the conveying assembly 14 under the action of gravity. The motor 13 is started to drive the conveying assembly 14 to transport the sprue and the plastic part to achieve collection.
[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, it also includes a support plate 15. The support plate 15 is welded to the lower side of the mounting frame 1. The support plate 15 is located on the left side of the fixed frame 8. The support plate 15 has a hexagonal groove to facilitate the movement of the mounting frame 1.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, it also includes a rubber plate 11, with the rubber plate 11 connected to the upper side of the guide plate 10, and the square opening 9 located above the rubber plate 11.
[0024] When this device is needed, firstly, the second mold 4 is moved to the left to fit against the surface of the first mold 3. The injection molding machine injects the raw material into the first mold 3 through the injection tube 301. The first mold 3 and the second mold 4 cooperate to form a plastic part and a sprue. After the plastic part and the sprue have cooled, the two cylinders 5 are activated. The extension rods of the cylinders 5 extend, causing the two cutters 6 to move towards each other. The cutters 6 precisely cut the sprue. While the cutters are precisely cutting the sprue, the back of the cutter presses against it. Under this influence, the sprue moves towards the second mold 4 and disengages from the first mold 3. Under the action of gravity, the sprue moves towards... The sprue moves downwards, and the sprue falls onto the conveying assembly 14 through the square opening 9 along the guide plate 10. The rubber plate 11 increases the friction between the sprue and the plastic part to prevent excessive displacement. The motor 13 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 13 rotates to drive the conveying assembly 14 to transport and collect the cut sprue. After the sprue cutting operation is completed, the ejection device of the first mold 3 will eject the plastic part and drop it onto the conveying assembly 14 for collection as described above. Subsequent plastic parts and sprues can be handled in the same way. Finally, the motor 13 and cylinder 5 are turned off.
