Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, and more specifically, to a gate structure for an injection mold. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding, also known as injection molding, is a molding method that combines injection and molding. The advantages of injection molding include high production speed and efficiency, automated operation, a wide variety of designs and shapes (from simple to complex), and sizes ranging from large to small. It also produces dimensionally accurate products, facilitates product updates and replacements, and can create complex shapes. Injection molding is suitable for mass production and molding processes involving complex shapes.

[0003] Injection molds are commonly used in the production of plastic products as shaping containers. Some existing injection molds have straight pipe gates, which make it difficult to adjust the gate diameter, resulting in waste of injection liquid. Therefore, we provide a gate structure for injection molds. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gate structure for injection molds to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A gate structure for an injection mold includes a first mold block 1 and a second mold block 2. A gate pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the second mold block 2. Molding liquid enters the first mold block 1 and the second mold block 2 through the gate pipe 3. A groove 4 is provided on the top of the gate pipe 3. A slider 5 is slidably connected inside the groove 4. An adjusting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 5. A rotating pipe 7 is slidably connected to the top of the adjusting plate 6. An inclined groove 8 is provided inside the rotating pipe 7. A sliding rod 9 is slidably connected inside the inclined groove 8. The sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 6. When the rotating pipe 7 rotates, the adjusting plate 6 moves through the inclined groove 8 and the sliding rod 9, thereby adjusting the diameter of the injection mold.

[0024] Furthermore, the groove 4 has a regular hexagonal structure, and six sliders 5 are provided inside the groove 4. Similarly, six sets of adjusting plates 6, inclined grooves 8, and sliding rods 9 are also provided. When the rotating tube 7 rotates, the inclined groove 8 will squeeze the sliding rods 9, and the sliding rods 9 will drive the adjusting plate 6 to move. Due to the restriction of the groove 4 and sliders 5, the adjusting plate 6 can only move in a straight line. Moreover, the six adjusting plates 6 fit together so that an opening for the injection liquid is formed in the middle of the six adjusting plates 6.

[0025] Furthermore, a funnel 10 is rotatably connected inside the rotating tube 7, and a first limiting groove 11 is provided inside the rotating tube 7. A first limiting plate 12 is slidably connected inside the first limiting groove 11. The first limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the funnel 10. Both the first limiting groove 11 and the first limiting plate 12 are annular structures. The first limiting groove 11 and the first limiting plate 12 are used to limit the distance between the funnel 10 and the rotating tube 7, so that the funnel 10 will not separate from the rotating tube 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer wall of the funnel 10 is fitted to the inner wall of the rotating tube 7, and the funnel 10 and the rotating tube 7 are tightly fitted together, so that the funnel 10 will not shake back and forth inside the rotating tube 7.

[0027] Furthermore, a mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sprue pipe 3. A servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 13. The output shaft of the servo motor 14 passes vertically through the mounting plate 13 and extends to the top of the mounting plate 13. The output shaft of the servo motor 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 13. A gear 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 14. An external gear ring 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating pipe 7. The external gear ring 16 meshes with the gear 15. The servo motor 14 directly drives the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 drives the rotating pipe 7 to rotate as a whole through the external gear ring 16. When the rotating pipe 7 rotates as a whole, it will drive the adjusting plate 6 to move, thereby adjusting the diameter of the injection molding liquid.

[0028] Furthermore, a second limiting groove 17 is provided inside the rotating tube 7, and a second limiting block 18 is slidably connected inside the second limiting groove 17. The second limiting block 18 is fixedly connected to the gating tube 3. The second limiting groove 17 has an arc-shaped structure, and six sets of the second limiting groove 17 and the second limiting block 18 are symmetrically arranged. The stability between the rotating tube 7 and the gating tube 3 is ensured by the second limiting groove 17 and the second limiting block 18.

[0029] The steps of using this utility model are as follows: When the gate structure of this injection mold is in use, the servo motor 14 starts and drives the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 drives the rotating tube 7 to rotate through the external gear ring 16. The rotating tube 7 squeezes the slide rod 9 through the inclined groove 8, so that the slide rod 9 drives the adjusting plate 6 to move. Since the six adjusting plates 6 are in close contact with each other, a hole for the injection liquid to pass through is formed in the middle. When these six adjusting plates 6 move at the same time, the size of the hole through which the injection liquid passes can be adjusted.

[0030] 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.
