Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, specifically to a flat shell mold core structure for improving venting. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molds are frequently used in the production of mobile phones and tablets. Injection molding is a molding method that combines injection and molding. Its main advantages are high production speed, high efficiency, automated operation, precise dimensional accuracy, and the ability to form complex shapes, making it suitable for mass production.

[0003] During the injection molding process of mobile phone or tablet casings, it is often necessary to expel the gas from the molded part; otherwise, "air trapping" will occur, which has always been a difficult technical problem to solve in the injection mold industry. The structure of the camera area on mobile phone or tablet casings is relatively complex, making it more prone to air trapping. Existing injection mold cores lack venting structures within the molding groove, preventing complete gas expulsion during injection. This results in air trapping in the shape of the camera area on mobile phone or tablet casings, causing defects in the product's appearance, reducing yield, and impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold core structure for a flat panel shell that improves venting, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the gas in the molding groove of the existing injection mold cannot be completely discharged, which leads to the problem that the shape of the camera position of the mobile phone or tablet shell product is prone to air entrapment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A flat shell mold core structure for improving exhaust includes a mold core body with a molding cavity. The bottom wall of the molding cavity has a plurality of mounting holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the mold core body. An insert is embedded in the mounting hole. The mounting hole includes a first hole segment, a second hole segment, and a third hole segment connected in sequence. The insert includes a first rod segment, a second rod segment, and a third rod segment connected in sequence. A molding groove is formed between the first hole segment and the first rod segment. The side wall of the second hole segment has a plurality of first air guide grooves distributed circumferentially in the vertical direction. The bottom wall of the second hole segment has a plurality of second air guide grooves communicating with the first air guide grooves in the horizontal direction. The side wall of the third hole segment has a plurality of third air guide grooves communicating with the second air guide grooves in the vertical direction.

[0007] Preferably, an annular groove is provided at the connection between the second hole segment and the third hole segment, which connects the second air guide groove and the third air guide groove. The annular groove is ring-shaped and surrounds the connection between the second rod segment and the third rod segment.

[0008] Preferably, the inner diameters of the first hole segment, the second hole segment, and the third hole segment decrease sequentially, and the outer diameters of the first rod segment, the second rod segment, and the third rod segment decrease sequentially.

[0009] Preferably, a first exhaust channel is formed between the first air guide groove, the second air guide groove and the peripheral wall of the second rod segment, and a second exhaust channel is formed between the third air guide groove and the peripheral wall of the third rod segment.

[0010] Preferably, the connection between the forming groove and the second hole section is provided with a first inclined surface in an annular shape, and a plurality of fourth air guide grooves distributed circumferentially are provided on the first inclined surface.

[0011] Preferably, a second inclined surface in the shape of an annular shape is provided at the connection between the first rod segment and the second rod segment, and an exhaust gap is formed between the plurality of fourth air guide grooves and the second inclined surface to allow gas in the forming groove to be discharged, and the exhaust gap is connected to the first air guide groove.

[0012] Preferably, the angle between the first inclined plane, the second inclined plane and the horizontal plane is in the range of 30° to 60°.

[0013] Preferably, the third rod segment has an insertion hole that penetrates its outer peripheral wall, and a pin is inserted into the insertion hole, the pin abutting against the bottom surface of the mold core body.

[0014] Preferably, the third hole segment has a first plane along the length of the hole, and the third rod segment has a second plane that abuts against the first plane along the length of the rod.

[0015] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the first air guide groove and the second air guide groove is rectangular, and the cross section of the third air guide groove is crescent-shaped.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. By setting a first air guide groove, a second air guide groove, and a third air guide groove, the gas in the molding groove is guided through the first air guide groove to the second air guide groove, and then discharged to the outside of the mold core body through the third air guide groove, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of trapped air. Moreover, the annular groove is less prone to clogging than the straight hole of the prior art, which helps the gas to be completely discharged, improves the exhaust structure, avoids defects in the product during injection molding in the molding groove, improves the product yield, and helps to improve production efficiency.

[0018] 2. The third rod section has an insertion hole that penetrates its outer peripheral wall. A pin is inserted into the insertion hole and abuts against the bottom surface of the mold core body. The diameter of the insertion hole decreases from one end of the third rod section to the other end to facilitate the insertion of the pin. The pin is used to limit the position of the insert and prevent the insert from moving up and down in the mounting hole, thus ensuring the injection molding quality of the flat shell.

[0019] 3. The third hole section has a first plane along the length of the hole, and the third rod section has a second plane along the length of the rod that abuts against the first plane. The first plane and the second plane cooperate with each other to restrict the insert from rotating in the mounting hole, so as to ensure the injection molding quality of the flat shell.
