[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4A blow molding ball airless pinhole mold structure includes a first template 1, a second template 2, a ball cavity core puller 3, a drive assembly 4, and an air pin assembly 5. The first template 1 and the second template 2 are symmetrically arranged, with one template mounted on the fixed side of the injection molding machine and the other on the moving side, facilitating template closing. The ball cavity core puller 3 is symmetrically installed at the same position on both the first template 1 and the second template 2. The drive assembly 4 is located at the outer end of both the first template 1 and the second template 2, and is connected to the ball cavity core puller 3. The ball cavity core puller 3 has an internal cavity for forming the blow-molded ball. When the first template 1 and the second template 2 close, the drive assemblies 4 on the two templates respectively drive the ball cavity core puller 5. The cores 3 approach each other to jointly shape the shape of the blow-molded sphere. The first template 1 and the second template 2 have recessed channels 6 on their mating surfaces. The channels 6 are used to accommodate the blank. The air needle assembly 5 is located at the bottom of the first template 1 or the second template 2. In use, the die head smoothly lowers the blank into the middle of the first template 1 and the second template 2. The air needles of the air needle assembly 5 are inserted into the blank to start blowing and molding. The blown blank swells and adheres to the cavity of the core-pulling 3 of the sphere cavity. When the first template 1 and the second template 2 are closed, the symmetrical core-pulling 3 of the sphere cavity approach each other to cut off the excess blank and form the blow-molded sphere 10, realizing a one-time molding of a sphere without pinholes. This improves the quality and aesthetics of the product and eliminates the need for secondary processing, effectively improving production efficiency and saving production costs.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, a hemispherical cavity 31 is provided on the inner end of the ball cavity core-pulling 3 to accommodate and shape the hemispherical part of the blow-molded sphere. When the blank is blown and expanded, the blank will adhere tightly to the inner wall of the hemispherical cavity 31 to form the shape of the blow-molded sphere. In order to accelerate the cooling and shaping of the blow-molded sphere 10, a water channel 33 is provided in the ball cavity core-pulling 3, and the water channel 33 is close to the hemispherical cavity 31. Cooling water or other cooling media can be introduced into the water channel 33 to remove the heat generated by the blow-molded sphere 10 during the molding process through heat exchange, thereby accelerating its cooling and shaping process.
[0027] Specifically, a core-pulling cutter 32 is provided at the edge of the hemispherical cavity 31, which is mainly used to cut off the excess part connected to the blank after the blow-molded ball 10 is formed, thereby ensuring that the blow-molded ball 10 has clear and neat edges; and the draft angle of the core-pulling cutter 32 is greater than 10°, ensuring that the blow-molded ball 10 can be smoothly removed from the core-pulling cutter 3 of the ball cavity, and avoiding scratches or damage to the surface of the blow-molded ball 10.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the cavity 6 is provided with an arc-shaped structure, which can avoid the presence of blank residue in the cavity 6 and facilitate cleaning.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 In the embodiments of this utility model, the first template 1 and the second template 2 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 7 in the middle. The ball cavity core puller 3 is inserted into the mounting holes 7 to ensure that the ball cavity core puller 3 can be firmly installed on the template and maintain the correct position during the mold closing process.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the driving assembly 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder 41, a mounting base 42, and a connecting plate 43. The outer ends of the first template 1 and the second template 2 are both fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 41 via the mounting base 42. The mounting base 42 ensures that the hydraulic cylinder 41 can be stably fixed on the template. The hydraulic cylinder 41 provides the necessary driving force to control the movement of the ball cavity core puller 3 within the mounting hole 7. The driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 43, and multiple ball cavity core pullers 3 are also fixedly connected to the connecting plate 43, fixing multiple ball cavity core pullers 3 together and connecting them to the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 41. When the hydraulic cylinder 41 works, it drives all the ball cavity core pullers 3 to move synchronously through the connecting plate 43. After blow molding is completed, the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 41 retracts, driving the connecting plate 43 and the ball cavity core pullers 3 to exit from the template, completing the mold opening action.
[0031] Specifically, the air needle assembly 5 includes an air needle 51, an air needle cylinder 52, and a cylinder mounting base 53. The air needle 51 is responsible for blowing gas into the blank, causing the blank to expand and fit tightly against the inner wall of the ball cavity core puller 3. The air needle 51 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the air needle cylinder 52, which controls the up and down movement of the air needle 51 to ensure that the air needle 51 can be accurately inserted into the blank for blowing during the mold closing process and withdrawn in time after blow molding. The air needle cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first template 1 or the second template 2 through the cylinder mounting base 53 to ensure that the air needle cylinder 52 can be stably installed at the bottom of the template and to ensure the stability of the structure during blow molding.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the first template 1 or the second template 2 is provided with an exhaust port 8, which is connected to the cavity 6. During the blow molding process, the gas in the cavity 6 can be discharged to the outside of the mold through the exhaust port 8, which helps to maintain the pressure balance in the cavity 6 and thus ensure the quality of the blow-molded sphere 10. The air needle 51 is located below the exhaust port 8, which ensures that the air needle 51 can be smoothly inserted and connected to the blank for blowing during blow molding.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3In the embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of positioning blocks 11 are uniformly arranged on the mold closing surface of the first template 1, and a plurality of positioning grooves 21 are uniformly arranged on the mold closing surface of the second template 2. When the first template 1 and the second template 2 are fully closed, the positioning blocks 11 are engaged in the positioning grooves 21 to ensure the precise alignment of the first template 1 and the second template 2 during the mold closing process, which can prevent the blank from shifting or deforming inside the mold.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 In the embodiments of this utility model, the outer ends of the first template 1 and the second template 2 are provided with mounting brackets 9. During the blow molding production process, the first template 1 and the second template 2 need to be connected with other equipment (such as injection molding machines, blow molding machines, etc.) so that the molten plastic can be injected into the mold and blow molded. The mounting brackets 9 provide the necessary connection points and fixing methods to ensure that the mold can be stably and accurately connected with other equipment.
