[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a segmented ejector pin suitable for hot forging pulley shaft molds includes an upper mold portion 1 and a lower mold portion 2. The entire mold structure is in a closed state.

[0025] The upper mold part 1 includes an upper mold core 11, an upper template 12, and an upper mold sleeve 13. The shape of the concave surface inside the upper mold core 11 is the same as the top shape of the workpiece 4. The upper mold sleeve 13 is fitted onto the side wall of the upper mold core 11, and the upper template 12 is fitted onto the side wall of the upper mold sleeve 13. The upper template 12 is connected to the upper fixed plate 5 of the injection molding machine.

[0026] The lower mold portion 2 includes a lower mold core 21, a lower mold sleeve 22, a first lower mold pad 23, and a second lower mold pad 24. The shape of the concave surface inside the lower mold core 21 is the same as the shape of the middle and bottom of the workpiece 4. The bottom of the lower mold core 21 is provided with a first lower mold pad 23 and a second lower mold pad 24 for raising it. The lower mold sleeve 22 is fitted onto the side walls of the lower mold core 21, the first lower mold pad 23, and the second lower mold pad 24. The lower mold template 25 is fitted onto the side walls of the lower mold sleeve 22. The lower mold template 25 is connected to the lower fixed plate 6 of the injection molding machine.

[0027] The movable plate of the injection molded part is connected to the lower fixed plate 6. During the sliding process, the movable plate of the injection molded part can drive the entire lower mold part 2 to disengage from the upper mold part 1, thereby completing the mold opening operation.

[0028] The upper mold core 11 and lower mold core 21 directly contact the high-temperature metal blank, responsible for the precise shaping of the workpiece's top contour, and must withstand temperatures ranging from 800 to 1200 degrees Celsius. The main function of the upper mold sleeve 13 and lower mold sleeve 22 is to clamp and secure them. They are used to fix and protect components such as the first lower mold pad 23, the second lower mold pad 24, the upper mold core 11, and the lower mold core 21, ensuring stable operation of the mold under high temperature and high pressure.

[0029] The lower die part 2 is provided with an ejector element 3 for ejecting the workpiece 4. The top of the ejector element 3 is in contact with the workpiece 4, and the bottom of the ejector element 3 is used to bear the pressure generated during hot forging. The top and bottom of the ejector element 3 are designed to be detachable.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the push rod element 3 includes a push rod contact end 31 and a push rod support end 32. The push rod contact end 31 has a circular through hole 311 in the middle and a limiting step 312 on the side wall surface of the push rod contact end 31. The circular through hole 311 of the push rod contact end 31 is sleeved on the top of the push rod support end 32.

[0031] The bottom of the top rod support end 32 is shaped like a frustum 321, and a cylinder 322 extends upward from the frustum 321. The frustum 321 and the cylinder 322 are designed as a single unit. The circular through hole 311 of the top rod contact end 31 is adapted to the top of the cylinder 322.

[0032] The material of the ejector pin contact end 31 is DH13 (Oberduwa hot work die steel), which has a hardness of 52-56 HRC (Rockwell hardness). The surface of the ejector pin contact end 31 also needs to be nitrided to increase its wear resistance.

[0033] The ejector pin support end 32 is made of hot work die steel. The cylinder 322 on the ejector pin support end 32 is a cylindrical shape with a bevel, and the top dimension of the ejector pin support end 32 matches the dimension of the circular through hole 311. The length of the ejector pin support end 32 is designed according to the length of the part. The design of the frustum 321 on the ejector pin support end 32 can reduce the instantaneous pressure generated during hot forging.

[0034] Regarding the installation positions of the ejector rod contact end 31 and the ejector rod support end 32: the bottom of the ejector rod support end 32 is attached to the surface of the first lower mold pad 23, the bottom of the ejector rod contact end 31 is attached to the surface of the second lower mold pad 24, and the top of the ejector rod support end 32 passes through the through hole at the top of the second lower mold pad 24 until it is inserted into the circular through hole 311 in the middle of the ejector rod contact end 31.

[0035] The bottom of the push rod support end 32 is attached to the surface of the first lower mold pad 23, the bottom of the push rod contact end 31 is attached to the surface of the second lower mold pad 24, and the top of the push rod support end 32 passes through the through hole at the top of the second lower mold pad 24 until it is inserted into the circular through hole 311 in the middle of the push rod contact end 31.

[0036] After this installation, the entire surface of the push rod contact end 31 fits with the bottom of the workpiece 4. Considering the thermal expansion and contraction of the workpiece 4, the size of the bottom of the workpiece 4 is 0.04 mm smaller than the size of the surface of the push rod contact end 31.

[0037] During the hot forging process, the ejector pin contact end 31 is the first to bear the force on the workpiece 4 compared to the ejector pin support end 32. Subsequently, the ejector pin support end 32 also needs to bear the force, and the ejector pin support end 32 can bear and disperse the pressure.

[0038] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0039] During the installation of the hot forging die, firstly, based on the dimensions of the workpiece 4 and the forging process requirements, a suitable length and diameter of the ejector pin support end 32 is selected and placed at the center of the second lower die pad 24. Then, the first lower die pad 23 is placed on the second lower die pad 24. Next, the ejector pin contact end 31 is connected to the ejector pin support end 32 through the circular through hole 311. Finally, the assembled ejector pin element 3 is installed in the corresponding position on the die. During the hot forging process, if the ejector pin contact end 31 is worn or damaged, it can simply be removed from the top of the ejector pin support end 32 and replaced with a new one, without needing to replace the entire ejector pin element 3, greatly reducing maintenance costs and replacement workload. Similarly, if the frustum 321 of the ejector pin support end 32 has a problem, it can also be replaced separately. This achieves the goal of improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
