AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the starting tooth position of the threaded core cannot be fixed during the demolding process, resulting in inconsistent threads on the molded product.
A thread orientation device is adopted. By setting a sensing block on the coiled thread core and using a photoelectric sensor switch to monitor the position of the sensing block in real time, the hydraulic motor stops rotating after the thread starts, ensuring that the initial position of the coiled thread core is the same each time.
This method ensures that the initial position of the threaded core is fixed each time, thus guaranteeing that the starting position of the threaded part is consistent and improving the accuracy and consistency of the threaded product.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mold technology, and more particularly to a thread orienting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of precision injection molding, products with threaded structures (such as bottle caps, connector housings, and medical devices) typically require automatic demolding via a threaded release mechanism in the mold. Traditional thread demolding methods mainly include forced demolding, slider core pulling, and rotary threaded release. Among these, rotary threaded release is the preferred solution for high-precision threaded products because it can form complete and undamaged thread profiles.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219466903U discloses an automatic demolding mold, which includes a mold body and at least one threaded core movably disposed within the mold body. The automatic demolding mold includes a driving device; the driving device includes a first gear rotatably disposed at the non-demolding end of the threaded core, a second gear rotatably disposed on the mold body, and a driving mechanism disposed on the mold body; the first gear meshes with the second gear; the driving mechanism is drivenly connected to the second gear and configured to drive the second gear to rotate. This mold uses an automated means to rotate the threaded core, thereby allowing the threaded core to be demolded from the plastic product. However, in actual production, the threaded core is in a state of continuous rotation during the demolding process, and the stopping position of the threaded core is different each time, which makes it impossible to fix the starting tooth position, resulting in different threads on the molded product.
[0004] Therefore, a thread orientation device needs to be developed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
