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.

[0022] like Figure 1-7As shown, a molding die for a car light-transmitting strip includes an upper mold plate 1, a lower mold plate 2, an upper mold base 3, a lower mold base 4, an upper mold core 5 disposed in the upper mold base 3, and a lower mold core 6 disposed in the lower mold base 4. The upper mold plate 1 has a sprue 11, which is connected to the upper mold core 5 via a sprue channel 81. The upper mold core 5 has a protrusion 7, and a molding ring portion 71 is disposed in the center of the protrusion 7. The molding ring portion 71 includes a portion lower than the protrusion 7. The ring has a bottom 72 and a ring body 73 that is higher than the protrusion 7. A main molding part 51 is provided on the inner side of the ring body 73 on the upper mold core 5. Runner grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the molding ring 71 on the protrusion 7, and the runner grooves 8 communicate with the spot gating channel 81. Several branch runners 82 are provided around the outer periphery of the molding ring 71 on the protrusion 7, extending from the edge of the protrusion 7 to the molding ring 71. The lower mold core 6 is provided with… A recessed portion 61 corresponding to the protrusion 7 is provided in the center of the recessed portion 61, which is fitted with a mating ring portion 62 adapted to the molding ring portion 71 and a main body mating portion 63 adapted to the main body molding portion 51; a flow channel 82 is provided with a flow channel groove 83 lower than the surface of the flow channel 82, and the part of the flow channel 82 excluding the flow channel groove 83 is a flow equalization groove 84, which is higher than the flow channel groove 83 but lower than the molding ring portion 71; a mating groove 64 corresponding to the two flow channel grooves 8 is provided on the lower mold core 6, and a through hole 65 and a concave corner groove 66 are provided in the mating groove 64, and a matching ejector pin is inserted in the through hole 65; the lower mold core 6 includes a mold core body 67 and two side inserts 68 provided on both sides of the mold core body 67; a protrusion 69 is provided on the mold core body 67 at a position opposite to the side insert 68, and a mating groove 70 that mates with the protrusion 69 is provided on the side insert 68; the mating groove 64 is provided on the protrusion 69.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the main objective of this utility model is to integrally injection mold a ring-shaped light-transmitting strip onto the button base of the car window control, which is equivalent to one set of molds in this application of a two-color mold. The main feature lies in the molding of the light-transmitting strip.

[0024] The ring-shaped light-transmitting strip is formed by the molding ring portion 71 of the upper mold core 5 and the mating ring portion 62 of the lower mold core 6.

Then, when the accumulated amount of molten plastic reaches the height of the flow-equalizing groove 84, the molten plastic will enter the forming ring portion 71 through the flow-equalizing groove 84 to form a ring-shaped light-transmitting strip. The flow-equalizing groove 84 ensures that the molten plastic enters the forming ring portion 71 evenly, achieving a better forming effect. The plastic can be made of PC material to ensure that the formed ring has light-transmitting properties.

[0026] Furthermore, by matching the groove 64 with the runner groove 8, the positional accuracy of the molten plastic entering the upper mold core 5 and the lower mold core 6 is ensured, and the ejector pin provided in the through hole 65 can be used to eject the molded part located in the matching groove 64.

[0027] Finally, by setting the lower mold core 6 as a separate mold core body 67 and side insert 68, it is convenient to manufacture and form the lower mold core 6, and the cooperation of the protrusion 69 and the mating groove 70 has a good installation and positioning function for the side insert 68.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
