Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, and more specifically, to a quick demolding device for refrigerator drawer injection molds. Background Technology

[0002] In the refrigerator manufacturing industry, refrigerator drawers are important storage components, and their production efficiency and quality directly affect the overall production and performance of refrigerators. Currently, refrigerator drawers are mostly produced using injection molding. When performing injection molding, corresponding injection molds are usually used. Injection molds are usually divided into moving molds and fixed molds. The fixed mold has a molding cavity. After the mold is closed, the plastic part completes the molding operation in the corresponding molding cavity.

[0003] The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN108189329A discloses an injection mold for a refrigerator drawer, including a fixed base plate and a movable top plate. Guide pillars are welded to the four corners of the fixed base plate, and the movable top plate is movably mounted on the four guide pillars. A lower mold is provided on the fixed base plate, and an injection cavity is provided in the middle of the lower mold. A first receiving groove is provided at the bottom center of the injection cavity, and a top extension plate is movably installed in the first receiving groove. A piston rod of a top extension cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top extension plate, and the top extension cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom outer side of the fixed base plate. An upper mold is provided directly above the lower mold on the movable top plate, and an inner mold is provided near the lower mold on the upper mold. This invention has a novel design, simple structure, and convenient use. It can quickly demold the product and prevent the product from sticking to the mold, thus preventing deformation and cracking, and improving the injection molding efficiency.

[0004] While this technical solution offers advantages such as rapid product demolding, preventing product adhesion to the mold and thus deformation and cracking, and improving injection molding efficiency, most injection molds currently rely on ejector pins to push the plastic part out of the molding cavity for demolding. Since most ejector pins are non-removable, wear from prolonged displacement can easily lead to leakage. In such cases, the inability to remove the ejector pin necessitates replacing the entire mold, resulting in significant economic losses. Furthermore, some ejector pins, although replaceable, are directly slidingly connected to the mold, lacking replaceable and protective components at the connection point. Wear on the mold due to ejector pins can render the entire mold unusable. Therefore, we propose a rapid demolding device for refrigerator drawer injection molds. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a quick demolding device for a refrigerator drawer injection mold, including a moving mold 1 and a fixed mold 10 opposite to the moving mold 1. The bottom wall of the fixed mold 10 is provided with multiple through holes 12 that communicate with the outside. An inner guide sleeve 13 is inserted into the through holes 12. The inner guide sleeve 13 is detachably connected to the fixed mold 10. A cylinder 20 is provided on one side of the fixed mold 10. A lifting plate 21 is detachably installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 20. Multiple ejector pins 24 are detachably installed on the upper surface of the lifting plate 21. The ejector pins 24 pass through the inner guide sleeve 13 and are slidably connected to the inner guide sleeve 13, so that the ejector pins 24 can be stably guided by the inner guide sleeve 13. When the inner guide sleeve 13 or the ejector pins 24 are worn, they can be disassembled and replaced individually, avoiding the need to replace the entire fixed mold 10 due to local wear, thus reducing maintenance costs. The moving mold 1 is installed on the corresponding drive shaft of the injection molding machine, enabling normal mold opening and closing operations.

[0033] In this embodiment, an ejector protrusion 25 is fixedly installed at the top of the ejector pin 24. The ejector protrusion 25 is located inside the inner guide sleeve 13 and is slidably connected to the inner guide sleeve 13. The ejector pin 24 and the ejector protrusion 25 move toward the fixed mold 10 to eject the molded drawer in the fixed mold 10 outward to complete the demolding operation. A molding chamber 11 is provided in the fixed mold 10. The refrigerator drawer plastic part is molded in the molding chamber 11. The top of the through hole 12 is connected to the molding chamber 11, so that the ejector pin 24 and the ejector protrusion 25 can extend into the molding chamber 11 from the inner guide sleeve 13 to realize the ejection of the refrigerator drawer plastic part in the molding chamber and ensure the smooth progress of the demolding process.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the inner guide sleeve 13 is provided with a sliding hole 132. The ejector pin 24 is located in the sliding hole 132 and is slidably connected to the sliding hole 132. A frustum cavity 131 is provided on the top wall of the sliding hole 132. The ejector protrusion 25 is located in the frustum cavity 131 and is slidably connected to the frustum cavity 131. The ejector protrusion 25 slides in the frustum cavity 131, which restricts the movement trajectory of the ejector pin 24 and the ejector protrusion 25, ensuring that they slide stably in a fixed direction and providing reliable guidance for smooth demolding.

[0035] Specifically, the dimensions of the frustum-shaped chamber 131 are matched with the dimensions of the ejector pin 25. The ejector pin 25 is a frustum-shaped chamber with an upper outer diameter larger than the lower outer diameter, which increases the contact area between the top surface of the ejector pin 25 and the refrigerator drawer plastic part. This allows for even force application during ejection, reducing deformation and damage caused by excessive local force on the plastic part, and making the demolding of the refrigerator drawer plastic part smoother.

[0036] Furthermore, a fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner guide sleeve 13. The fixing plate 14 is detachably installed on the bottom surface of the fixed mold 10 by multiple fastening screws, making the disassembly and installation of the inner guide sleeve 13 and the fixed mold 10 more convenient, facilitating the quick replacement of the inner guide sleeve 13 when needed, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, a rectangular plate 201 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 20. The lifting plate 21 is detachably installed on the top surface of the rectangular plate 201 by multiple fastening bolts, so that the lifting plate 21 and the cylinder 20 are detachably connected, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the lifting plate 21, and at the same time ensures that the power of the cylinder 20 is stably transmitted to the lifting plate 21.

[0038] In addition, the size of the inner guide sleeve 13 is matched with the size of the through hole 12. The bottom end of the ejector pin 24 is fixedly installed with a fixing seat 241. The fixing seat 241 is detachably installed on the upper surface of the lifting plate 21 by multiple fastening screws, which makes the disassembly and installation of the ejector pin 24 easier. When the ejector pin 24 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced to ensure production progress.

[0039] It is worth noting that the cylinder 20 is fixedly installed on the external frame 2, and multiple guide sleeves 23 are fixedly installed on the external frame 2. Multiple guide pillars 22 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 21. The guide pillars 22 are located inside the guide sleeves 23 and are slidably connected to the guide sleeves 23, providing guidance and support for the movement of the lifting plate 21. This ensures the stability and accuracy of the cylinder 20 driving the lifting plate 21 to push out the ejector pins 24, thereby improving the demolding quality.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the cylinder 20, the corresponding control system, and the external power supply involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components, and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle in this utility model. The electrical connections between each electrical component are completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection methods are all technologies known in the art.

[0041] When using the quick demolding device for the refrigerator drawer injection mold of this utility model, firstly, when the mold is closed, the moving mold 1 and the fixed mold 10 are closed, and the refrigerator drawer plastic part is injection molded in the molding cavity 11 of the fixed mold 10. At this time, the ejector pin 24 and the ejector protrusion 25 at its top are located in the sliding hole 132 and the frustum cavity 131 of the inner guide sleeve 13, and are in the initial standby state.

[0042] After the plastic part cools down, the demolding process is started: the telescopic shaft of cylinder 20 drives the lifting plate 21 to move through the rectangular plate 201. The guide post 22 on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 21 slides along the guide sleeve 23 of the outer frame 2 to ensure smooth movement. The lifting plate 21 drives the ejector pin 24 to move upward. The fixed seat 241 at the bottom of the ejector pin 24 is connected to the lifting plate 21 by fastening screws to ensure stable power transmission.

[0043] The ejector pin 24 passes through the sliding hole 132 of the inner guide sleeve 13, and the ejector protrusion 25 at the top slides upward along the frustum cavity 131 and finally extends into the molding cavity 11. Since the ejector protrusion 25 is frustum shaped and fits the frustum cavity 131, its top surface has a large contact area with the plastic part, and it can apply force evenly to push the plastic part out of the molding cavity 11 to complete the demolding.

[0044] After demolding, the cylinder 20 retracts, causing the lifting plate 21 and ejector pin 24 to reset. If the ejector pin 24 or the inner guide sleeve 13 is worn, the ejector pin 24 and the inner guide sleeve 13 can be replaced by removing the fastening screws of the fixed seat 241 or the fastening screws of the fixed plate 14 without disassembling the entire fixed mold 10.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
