Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology and relates to an injection mold for an automotive exhaust pipe. Background Technology
[0002] The exhaust pipe is a crucial component of a car's air intake and exhaust system. The air filter's exhaust pipe typically connects to the engine's intake manifold or the turbocharger's inlet. Specifically, the air filter's exhaust pipe guides filtered air to the engine's intake manifold, ensuring the engine receives clean air for combustion. In some models, the exhaust pipe may also connect to the turbocharger's inlet to provide compressed air to the turbocharger. However, the exhaust pipe's structure is relatively complex, making unloading difficult and increasing development costs. Therefore, a new injection mold for the exhaust pipe needs to be designed for easier unloading. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an injection mold for automotive exhaust pipes. Through step-by-step core pulling, complex and irregularly shaped exhaust pipes can be quickly unloaded.
[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An injection mold for an automobile exhaust pipe includes a top plate, an upper template, an upper mold core, a transverse cavity pillar, an inclined cavity pillar, a lower mold core, a lower template, a side plate, and a bottom plate. The top plate, upper template, and upper mold core are fixed sequentially, and the lower mold core, lower template, side plate, and bottom plate are fixed sequentially. The upper mold core and lower mold core are fitted together, and a molding groove is formed on the mating surface of the upper and lower mold cores. An installation wedge is fixed on the bottom plate, and an inclined cylinder is fixed to the outside of the installation wedge. The end of the telescopic rod of the inclined cylinder is fixed along the installation... The inclined block has a sliding block that slides on its inclined surface. The inclined column in the inclined cavity is fixed to the inclined block and extends into the forming groove. The lower template is equipped with a lifting block. The lower end of the lower template is fixed with a lifting cylinder. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting block and can push the lifting block up and down. A transverse cylinder is fixed to the outside of the lifting block. The upper end of the lifting block has a sliding groove. A transverse sliding block is provided in the sliding groove. The outside of the transverse sliding block is connected to the telescopic rod of the transverse cylinder. The inside of the transverse sliding block is fixed to the transverse column in the cavity. The transverse column in the cavity extends into the forming groove and abuts against the inclined column in the cavity.
[0005] Furthermore, the mounting plate has raised guide posts, and the lower end of the lifting block has a guide groove into which the guide posts are inserted.
[0006] Furthermore, a connection port is fixed on the top plate, and a hot runner is opened in the upper template to connect the connection port with the forming groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a limit stop is fixed at the lower end of the upper template, and the outer side of the inclined slider has an inclined surface. When the upper template descends, the lower end of the limit stop abuts against the inclined surface of the inclined slider.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer side of the horizontal slider has a first inclined surface, and the lower end face of the upper template has a pressing surface. When the upper template descends, the pressing surface abuts against the first inclined surface of the horizontal slider.
[0009] Furthermore, several support columns are fixed on the base plate to abut against the lower template.
[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the inclined cavity column has a locking protrusion, and the front end of the transverse cavity column has a slot for inserting the locking protrusion.
[0011] First, the horizontal cylinder is driven to push the horizontal inner column into the forming groove. Then, the inclined cylinder is driven to push the inclined inner column into the forming groove and make it fit with the horizontal inner column. The locking protrusion is then locked into the slot. Then, the injection molding machine is started to close the mold. One end of the feed pipe is connected to the connection port. The extruder injects molten plastic into the hot runner through the feed pipe, and finally into the forming groove. After cooling and solidification, the material is unloaded. First, the upper and lower mold plates are separated. Then, the horizontal cylinder is driven to pull out the horizontal inner column. Finally, the lifting cylinder is driven to lift the lifting block. Since the horizontal inner column is not completely withdrawn from the air outlet pipe, it will cause the air outlet pipe product to move upward. At this time, the worker can pull out the air outlet pipe product horizontally to complete the unloading.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the injection mold for this automotive exhaust pipe has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. The step-by-step core extraction method allows for rapid unloading of complex, irregularly shaped vent pipes, ensuring safe and easy removal of the vent pipe product without damaging it.
[0014] 2. The short stroke of the transverse cylinder reduces the space occupied by the entire mold. The transverse inner column only needs to be pulled back a short distance to allow the transverse inner column and the air outlet pipe to slide flexibly. After the lifting block lifts the entire product upward, the air outlet pipe product is pulled out from the transverse inner column.
[0015] 3. The inclined cylinder needs to be completely pulled out of the air outlet pipe before the material can be unloaded. Because the inclined cylinder is set at an angle, the required operating space of the mold is reduced, and no extra space is occupied for the inclined cylinder to move. Attached Figure Description

The upper mold core 3 and lower mold core 6 are fitted together, and a molding groove is formed on the mating surface of the upper mold core 3 and lower mold core 6. An inclined block 10 is fixed on the bottom plate 9, and an inclined cylinder 11 is fixed to the outside of the inclined block 10. An inclined slider 12 that slides along the inclined surface of the inclined block 10 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the inclined cylinder 11. The inclined cavity pillar 5 is fixed to the inclined slider 12, and the inclined cavity pillar 5 extends into the molding groove.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, a lifting block 13 is provided on the lower template 7, and a lifting cylinder 14 is fixed at the lower end of the lower template 7. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 14 is connected to the lifting block 13 and can push the lifting block 13 up and down.

The transverse cavity column 4 extends into the forming groove and abuts against the inclined cavity column 5.
[0025] The mounting plate has raised guide posts 18, and the lower end of the lifting block 13 has a guide groove into which the guide posts 18 are inserted. A connection port 19 is fixed on the top plate 1, and a hot runner 20 is opened in the upper template 2 to connect the connection port 19 with the forming groove.
[0026] The lower end of the upper template 2 is fixed with a limit stop 21, and the outer side of the inclined slider 12 has an inclined surface. When the upper template 2 descends, the lower end of the limit stop 21 abuts against the inclined surface of the inclined slider 12. The outer side of the horizontal slider 17 has a first inclined surface 22, and the lower end face of the upper template 2 has a pressing surface. When the upper template 2 descends, the pressing surface abuts against the first inclined surface 22 of the inclined slider 12.
[0027] Several support columns 23 are fixed on the base plate 9, which abut against the lower template 7. The front end of the inclined cavity column 5 has a locking protrusion 24, and the front end of the transverse cavity column 4 has a slot for inserting the locking protrusion 24.
