Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior injection molding processing technology, specifically to a gate shearing device for automotive interior injection molding. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive interiors, some interior components are made of plastic. Therefore, automotive interior trim is made by injection molding. Injection molding involves injecting heated and molten material into a mold cavity through runners and gates. After the material cools and solidifies, it is removed from the mold, forming an injection molded part with a certain shape and structure. Usually, after the injection molded part is removed from the mold, a gate connected to the injection molded part remains in the runner of the injection port. Since the presence of the gate will affect the normal use of the injection molded part, it needs to be removed.

[0003] After the injection molding of automotive interior parts is completed, the injection molded parts need to be removed from the mold and sent to a shearing device. After being clamped and fixed, the gate is cut off. After shearing, the injection molded parts are then transported to the next process for further processing. This increases the number of steps in the injection molding process, thus consuming more time and reducing the efficiency of automotive interior injection molding parts processing.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings;

[0036] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a gate shearing device for injection-molded automotive interior parts, comprising:

[0037] Base plate 110, on which lower mold stage 210 is fixedly connected;

[0038] The cutting mechanism includes a vertical plate 310, a lead screw 320, a threaded column 330, a tool holder 340, and a cutting blade 350.

[0039] There are four upright plates 310, which are fixed to the four corners of the top surface of the lower mold plate 210. Two upright plates 310 on one side of the lower mold plate 210 are rotatably connected to the lead screw 320, and two upright plates 310 on the other side of the lower mold plate 210 are rotatably connected to another lead screw 320. There are two threaded columns 330, which are threadedly connected to the two lead screws 320 respectively. The two ends of the tool holder 340 are fixedly connected to the two threaded columns 330 respectively. The cutter 350 is fixedly connected inside the tool holder 340. The rotation of the two lead screws 320 drives the two threaded columns 330 to slide. The sliding of the two threaded columns 330 drives the tool holder 340 to slide. The tool holder 340 drives the cutter 350 to slide. The sliding of the cutter 350 cuts off the gate.

[0040] The lower mold base 210 has a lower support leg 211 fixed at the bottom and an upper support leg 212 fixed at the top. The lower support leg 211 is fixedly connected to the base plate 110. The top surface of the upper support leg 212 is fixedly connected to the top plate 120. The top surface of the top plate 120 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 400. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 400 passes through the top plate 120 and is fixedly connected to the upper mold base 220. The top surface of the upper mold base 220 is fixedly connected to the sprue 221. The injection molded part is poured through the sprue 221. After the pouring is completed, the cylinder 400 is activated, and the cylinder 400 drives the upper mold base 220 to rise.

[0041] It also includes a transmission mechanism, which includes a fixed plate 510, a rack 520, and a gear 530.

[0042] There are two fixed plates 510 that are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the upper mold table 220. There are two racks 520 that are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plates 510 respectively. There are two gears 530 that are fixedly connected to the ends of the two lead screws 320 respectively. The racks 520 and gears 530 mesh. When the upper mold table 220 rises, it drives the two fixed plates 510 to rise. The two fixed plates 510 drive the two racks 520 to rise respectively. The two racks 520 drive the two gears 530 to rotate respectively. The two gears 530 drive the two lead screws 320 to rotate respectively.

[0043] The threads of the two lead screws 320 are opposite, so that when the two lead screws 320 rotate, they drive the two threaded columns 330 to move in the same direction. Two square holes 213 are symmetrically opened on one side of the top surface of the lower mold table 210, and the other end of the rack 520 passes through the square holes 213.

[0044] Working principle: The injection molded part is poured through the sprue 221. After pouring, the cylinder 400 is activated, which drives the upper mold platform 220 to rise. The rise of the upper mold platform 220 drives the two fixed plates 510 to rise. The two fixed plates 510 drive the two racks 520 to rise, which in turn drive the two gears 530 to rotate. The two gears 530 drive the two lead screws 320 to rotate, which in turn drive the two threaded posts 330 to slide. The sliding of the two threaded posts 330 drives the tool holder 340 to slide, which in turn drives the cutter 350 to slide. The cutter 350 cuts off the sprue, and the injection molded part is then removed. The cylinder 400 is started and descends, which drives the upper mold table 220 to descend. The upper mold table 220 drives the two fixed plates 510 to descend. The two fixed plates 510 drive the two racks 520 to descend respectively. The two racks 520 drive the two gears 530 to reverse. The two gears 530 drive the two lead screws 320 to reverse. The two lead screws 320 drive the two threaded columns 330 to slide in the opposite direction. The two threaded columns 330 drive the tool holder 340 to slide in the opposite direction. The tool holder 340 drives the cutter 350 to slide in the opposite direction. When the cutter 350 slides close to the rack 520, the upper mold table 220 and the lower mold table 210 overlap, and the next injection molding is performed.

[0045] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0046] The blade holder 340 has a second slot 341. The back of the cutter 350 is inserted into the second slot 341. The top surface of the blade holder 340 has multiple first threaded holes 342 that penetrate the blade holder 340. The cutter 350 has multiple second threaded holes 351. The second threaded holes 351 and the second slot 341 are aligned and then threaded with screws 343. After inserting the back of the cutter with the second threaded hole 351 into the second slot 341, the second threaded hole 351 and the second slot 341 are aligned. Then, the screws 343 are used to thread the second threaded hole 351 and the second slot 341 to fix the cutter 350 in the blade holder 340.

[0047] A square plate 331 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded column 330. A first slot 332 is opened on the side wall of the square plate 331. A plug plate 344 is fixedly connected to both ends of the tool holder 340. The plug plate 344 is inserted into the first slot 332. Inserting the plug plate 344 into the first slot 332 will initially connect the plug plate 344 to the square plate 331.

[0048] It also includes a fixing component 360, which includes a round tube 361, a plug 362, a baffle 363, a pull post 364, and a spring 365;

[0049] A circular tube 361 is fixedly connected to the top of a square plate 331. A baffle 363 is slidably connected inside the circular tube 361. A pin 362 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the baffle 363. A pull pin 364 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the baffle 363. The other end of the pull pin 364 passes through the top of the circular tube 361. The two ends of a spring 365 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the baffle 363 and the top surface of the circular tube 361, respectively. The pull pin 364 passes through the spring 365. Pulling the pull pin 364 causes the baffle 363 to rise and compresses the spring 365. The baffle 363 causes the pin 362 to rise. Releasing the pull pin 364 causes the spring 365 to rebound. The spring 365 causes the baffle 363 to fall. The baffle 363 causes the pull pin 364 and the pin 362 to fall.

[0050] A first slot 332 is provided on the top surface of the square plate 331, and the first slot 332 penetrates the square plate 331. A second insertion hole 345 is provided on the top surface of the insert plate 344. After the second insertion hole 345 coincides with the first insertion hole 333, the insertion post 362 passes through it. After the insert plate 344 is inserted into the first slot 332, the second insertion hole 345 coincides with the first insertion hole 333. The spring 365 rebounds and drives the baffle 363 and the insertion post 362 to descend in sequence, and the insertion post 362 is inserted into the first insertion hole 333 and the second insertion hole 345, so that the insert plate 344 is fixed to the square plate 331, thereby fixing the tool holder 340 and the thread post 330.

[0051] Working principle: When the cutter 350 needs to be replaced due to dullness, pulling the pull column 364 causes the baffle 363 to rise, compressing the spring 365. The baffle 363 then causes the insertion post 362 to rise, pulling it out from the first insertion hole 333 and the second insertion hole 345. The insertion plate 344 is then pulled out from the first threaded hole 342, separating the cutter holder 340 from the threaded post 330. Using a screwdriver, the screw 343 is removed from the first threaded hole 342 and the second threaded hole 351. The cutter 350 is then pulled out from the second slot 341. The back of the new cutter 350 is inserted into the second slot 341, aligning the first threaded hole 342 with the second threaded hole 351. The screw 343 is then threaded into the first threaded hole 342 using a screwdriver. After connecting the second threaded hole 351, fix the cutter 350 to the tool holder 340. Pull the pull column 364 again to raise the baffle 363 and compress the spring 365. The baffle 363 raises the insertion column 362, pulling the insertion column 362 out of the first insertion hole 333. Insert the insertion plate 344 into the first slot 332, making the second insertion hole 345 coincide with the first insertion hole 333. Release the pull column 364 to allow the spring 365 to rebound. The spring 365 lowers the baffle 363, which in turn lowers the pull column 364 and the insertion column 362, allowing the insertion column 362 to be inserted into the first insertion hole 333 and the insertion plate 344. This fixes the insertion plate 344 to the square plate 331, thereby fixing the tool holder 340 to the threaded column 330, enabling quick replacement of the cutter 350.
