Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molds, and in particular to an IML mold card material structure. Background Technology

[0002] IML, or In-Mold Insertion Molding, is a process characterized by a hardened transparent film on the surface, a printed pattern layer in the middle, and a plastic layer on the back. Because the ink is sandwiched in between, the product is protected from scratches and abrasion, and its colors remain vibrant and fade-resistant over time. IML mold card structures are a process that integrates printed decorative labels with plastic products, widely used in electronics, home appliances, automotive interiors, and daily necessities. However, existing IML mold card structures suffer from iron powder buildup due to friction between the bottom of the slider head and the mold core. This iron powder, when compressed, can accumulate and form iron balls, causing the slider to become stuck and unable to retract. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] As a further optimization of this technical solution, its structure includes a card material small slider, a small slider scraper, and a small slider pressure plate. The top of the card material small slider is movably engaged with the small slider scraper, and the small slider pressure plate is slidably engaged with the side end of the card material small slider. A return spring is provided on the left side inside the card material small slider. A sliding groove is provided at the front end of the card material small slider and is slidably engaged with the small slider pressure plate. A lower pressing groove is provided at the top of the card material small slider, and the side end of the lower pressing groove is provided with an inclined surface at 60 degrees. The lower pressing groove is movably engaged with the small slider scraper. A buffer pad is provided at the front end of the card material small slider, and the bottom of the card material small slider 1 and the front mold core have a clearance of 0.1mm.

[0005] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the small slider shovel is provided with a fixing slot, which is bolted to the connecting rod, and the side end of the small slider shovel is provided with an inclined surface at 60 degrees.

[0006] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the small slider pressure plate is provided with two fixing bolts, and the bottom of the small slider pressure plate is provided with a sliding block, which slides in cooperation with the sliding groove at the front end of the small slider of the card material.

[0007] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the buffer pad is made of rubber, which has good elasticity.

[0008] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the bottom inclined surface of the small sliding block shovel is provided with nine balls, and the balls are arranged in groups of three on the inclined surface of the small sliding block shovel.

[0009] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the ball bearing is in movable engagement with the inclined surface of the downward pressure groove at the top of the small slider of the card material. Beneficial effects

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the IML mold card material structure of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] This invention uses a shovel to drive the movement of a small slider. The main function of the shovel is to apply force to the lower pressure groove during production, thereby reducing the force on the front end of the small slider of the card material. In addition, the bottom of the small slider of the card material is 0.1mm away from the front mold core to prevent friction between the bottom of the small slider of the card material and the front mold core, which generates iron powder, ultimately extending the service life of the mold.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods and accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an IML mold card material structure, which includes a card material small slider 1, a small slider shovel 2, and a small slider pressure plate 3. The top of the card material small slider 1 is movably engaged with the small slider shovel 2, and the small slider pressure plate 3 is slidably engaged with the side end of the card material small slider 1. A return spring 11 is provided on the left side inside the card material small slider 1. A sliding groove 12 is provided at the front end of the card material small slider 1 and is slidably engaged with the small slider pressure plate 3. A lower pressing groove 13 is provided at the top of the card material small slider 1, and the side end of the lower pressing groove 13 is provided with an inclined surface at 60 degrees. The lower pressing groove 13 is movably engaged with the small slider shovel 2. A buffer pad 14 is provided at the front end of the card material small slider 1. The elasticity of the return spring 11 can drive the small slider pressure plate 3 to move to the right to position the end face of the mold core to the end face of the IML sheet. The bottom of the card material small slider 1 and the front mold core have a clearance of 0.1mm.

[0021] The small slider shovel 2 is provided with a fixed slot 21, which is bolted to the connecting rod 22. The side end of the small slider shovel 2 is provided with an inclined surface at 60 degrees. By cooperating with the inclined surface of the small slider shovel 2 and the inclined surface of the lower pressure groove 13, the small slider 1 of the card material can be stably driven to move to the left.

[0022] The small slider pressure plate 3 is provided with two fixing bolts 31, and the bottom of the small slider pressure plate 3 is provided with a sliding block 32. The sliding block 32 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 12 at the front end of the small slider 1 of the card material. The sliding engagement between the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12 can improve the sliding stability of the small slider 1 of the card material.

[0023] The buffer pad 14 is made of rubber and has good elasticity.

[0024] The bottom inclined surface of the small slider shovel 2 is provided with nine balls 23. The balls 23 are arranged in groups of three on the inclined surface of the small slider shovel 2. The balls 23 can reduce the friction between the small slider shovel 2 and the end face of the lower pressure groove 13, and prevent wear between the small slider shovel 2 and the end face of the card material small slider 1.

[0025] The ball bearing 23 is in active engagement with the inclined surface of the downward pressure groove 13 at the top of the small slider 1 of the card material.

[0026] Working principle: The return spring 11 uses its own elasticity to drive the small slider pressure plate 3 to move to the right, positioning the end face of the mold core against the end face of the IML sheet to prevent the IML sheet from falling off. After the injection molding of the IML sheet is completed, the small slider shovel 2 can move downward to press down on the inclined surface of the lower pressure groove 13, which can drive the card material small slider 1 to move to the left, so that the product processed from the IML sheet can be demolded. The sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12 can improve the sliding stability of the card material small slider 1. Finally, the ball bearing 23 can reduce the friction between the small slider shovel 2 and the end face of the lower pressure groove 13, preventing wear on the end face of the small slider shovel 2 and the card material small slider 1.
