Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an injection mold for a car rearview mirror cover. Background Technology

[0002] A rearview mirror cover is a protective device installed on a car's rearview mirror. It is usually made of plastic and its main function is to prevent the rearview mirror from being damaged by friction during driving. It also serves a certain decorative purpose, making the vehicle look more beautiful. Since rearview mirror covers are mostly made of plastic, their production process relies on matching injection molds and injection molding machines.

[0003] Because the internal structure of the rearview mirror cover is quite complex, in order to mold its complex internal structure in one go, the existing injection mold must be equipped with multiple cylinders on the fixed mold core to smoothly form and demold from the end face of the moving mold core. However, the mold is difficult to manufacture, which leads to a complicated manufacturing process. Once maintenance is required, the fixed mold part must be completely disassembled, which makes maintenance inconvenient and results in high manufacturing costs. Further improvements are needed.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] The feed plate 5 and the seat plate 6 are respectively installed on the action mechanism and the machine body of the injection molding machine. The action mechanism drives the feed plate 5 to move backward, which in turn drives the parting block 1 to move backward and towards the assembly module 2 until the two are assembled together (existing technology).

[0038] During the movement of the parting block 1, it will drive the pressure module 3 in the molding assembly to move towards the load module 4 until the two are joined together. At this time, the molding core 41 is inserted into the main body cavity 31, and the molding convex surface 42 and the molding concave surface 39 are spaced a certain distance apart. At the same time, during the movement of the parting block 1, it will also drive the first driving column 82 in the first side molding assembly 8, the driving block 91 in the second side molding assembly 9, and the second driving column 102 in the third side molding assembly 10 to move synchronously, thereby forcing the first side slider 81, the second side slider 92, and the third side slider 101 to move towards the main body cavity 31, so that the first molding block 812, the second molding block 921, and the third molding block 1012 are respectively inserted into the first notch 32, the first notch 32, and the recess 35. In addition, the first protrusion 37 and the second protrusion 310 are respectively inserted into the first molding groove 922 and the second molding groove 923.

[0039] Subsequently, the molten material enters the parting block 1 through the gate in the feed plate 5, and then enters the area between the main body cavity 31 on the pressure module 3 and the molding core 41 on the carrier module 4 through the sprue in the parting block 1. After cooling, the rearview mirror cover (existing technology) is formed.

[0040] Then, the feeding plate 5 is driven forward by the action mechanism, and then each pressing module 3 is driven forward and away from the corresponding carrier module 4 by the parting block 1. Then, the formed rearview mirror cover is pushed forward by the ejector device 7 (existing technology).

[0041] This invention eliminates the need for any cylinders. By simply inserting the first side slider 81 of the first side molding component 8, the second side slider 92 of the second side molding component 9, and the third side slider 101 of the third side molding component 10 from the side of the pressing module 3 into the main body cavity 31, the complex internal structure of the rearview mirror cover can be formed in one go. This reduces the difficulty of mold making and simplifies the mold making process. It also greatly facilitates mold maintenance and effectively reduces manufacturing costs.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
