Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle parts processing equipment, and more specifically, to an injection mold for automotive turn signal lamp covers. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molds are core equipment for the mass production of plastic products and have important applications in the automotive parts manufacturing industry. As a precision component that combines functionality and appearance requirements, the injection molds for automotive turn signal covers must meet special technical requirements such as high light transmittance, complex curved surface molding, and zero surface defects. Traditional lamp cover injection molds usually adopt a fixed ejection system, which uses a rigid ejector rod in conjunction with an ejector plate to achieve the demolding action. Its structural design directly affects the product demolding quality and production efficiency.
[0003] However, in actual production, it has been found that due to the size differences of turn signal covers for different car models and the changes in the structure of the lower mold base, the position and height of the ejector rod in the traditional ejection system are fixed. When switching product models, the entire ejection mechanism needs to be disassembled and reinstalled to adapt to the new mold cavity, resulting in mold changeover time of up to several hours, which seriously affects the processing efficiency of the production line. In particular, the strict requirements of the undercut structure at the bottom of the lamp cover on the accuracy of the ejection point make it difficult for the existing rigid ejection system to quickly match the processing needs of lamp covers of different models and sizes, which can easily cause product scratches or ejection defects caused by ejector rod misalignment. This technical bottleneck has become a key obstacle restricting the rapid changeover of automotive lighting molds and the co-production of multiple varieties.
[0004] In view of this, we propose an injection mold for automotive turn signal lamp covers. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0032] An injection mold for an automotive turn signal lens cover includes a base plate 1 at the bottom, a lower mold base 4 sleeved on the base plate 1, a top plate 2 at the top, and an upper mold base 3 located below the top plate 2 for cooperating with the lower mold base 4 to complete the shaping. The lower mold base 4 has an ejection hole 41 for demolding. An ejector plate 5 slidably connected to the base plate 1 is provided at the bottom of the lower mold base 4. A movable plate 7 is slidably disposed on the ejector plate 5. The movable plate 7 is provided with two movable blocks 11 with adjustable spacing. Each movable block 11 is fixedly connected to an adjustable length... The ejector rod 6 includes a main rod 61 fixedly connected to the movable block 11 and a secondary rod 62 sleeved on the main rod 61. The secondary rod 62 is used to eject the molded mold from the ejection hole 41 when it moves with the ejector plate 5. This arrangement makes the sliding fit between the base plate 1, the lower mold base 4 and the ejector plate 5 form a stable support system. Combined with the composite motion mechanism of the movable plate 7 and the ejector rod 6, it not only ensures the overall structural rigidity of the mold, but also provides multi-dimensional adjustment space for the ejection system, so as to realize the structural adaptability when changing different types of lampshade molds.
[0033] The movable plate 7 has sliders 9 fixedly connected to both ends. The ejector plate 5 has a groove 10 that matches the size of the sliders 9. An electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the ejector plate 5. The extended end of the electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 7. This arrangement allows the sliders 9 and the groove 10 to constrain the movement trajectory of the movable plate 7. Combined with the drive of the electric push rod 8, the horizontal position of the two ejector rods 6 can be quickly adjusted. It should be noted that the bottom plate 1 should have channels on both sides for the electric push rod 8 to move up and down with the ejector plate 5.
[0034] Furthermore, a first screw 12 and a second screw 13 are rotatably connected to the movable plate 7. The first screw 12 and the second screw 13 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 15. The threads of the first screw 12 and the second screw 13 are reversed. Both the first screw 12 and the second screw 13 are connected to a first screw sleeve 14 by a ball screw pair thread. The two first screw sleeves 14 are fixedly connected to the two movable blocks 11 respectively. This arrangement ensures the synchronous accuracy of the ejector rod spacing adjustment and maintains the positional stability after adjustment through the mechanical self-locking characteristic, which can avoid displacement deviation during ejection and improve the demolding accuracy.
[0035] Secondly, a first motor 16 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 7, and a first bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 16. A second bevel gear 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 15. The first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18 are meshed together. This arrangement not only saves space for horizontal installation and achieves a compact structure, but also enhances the adjustment driving force through the torque amplification effect of the gear meshing pair, ensuring the reliability of the action when adjusting large-size molds.
[0036] Furthermore, a limiting block 24 is fixedly connected to the main rod 61, and a limiting groove 25 adapted to the size of the limiting block 24 is provided on the secondary rod 62. This arrangement allows the secondary rod 62 to extend and retract while forming a mechanical hard limit, which prevents the ejector rod 6 from overextending and causing the structure to jam, and also avoids relative rotation between the two, ensuring stability during long-term use.
[0037] Specifically, a second motor 19 is fixedly connected inside the main rod 61, and a third screw 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 19. A second screw sleeve 21 is connected to the third screw 20 through a ball screw thread. A fixing ring 22 is fixedly connected inside the auxiliary rod 62. The second screw sleeve 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 22. Through the closed structure, the length of the ejector rod 6 can be precisely adjusted, and the external transmission mechanism can be avoided from occupying the mold space.
[0038] In addition, a swivel ring 23 with a T-shaped cross section is fixedly connected to the second threaded sleeve 21. The swivel ring 23 is rotatably connected to the fixed ring 22. This configuration converts the linear motion of the second threaded sleeve 21 into the axial displacement of the auxiliary rod 62, eliminating the influence of the lateral component force of the traditional threaded pair on the straightness of the ejector rod 6.
[0039] Working principle:
[0040] The injection mold for the automotive turn signal lens cover utilizes a three-stage adjustment system to rapidly preset ejection parameters: During the changeover preparation stage, the electric push rod 8 drives the movable plate 7 to slide laterally along the slide groove 10 to the target station, determining the horizontal reference position of the ejector rod 6. Subsequently, the first motor 16 rotates synchronously through a bevel gear set linked to a double screw with a reverse thread, driving the two movable blocks 11 on both sides to move symmetrically to precisely adjust the spacing of the ejector rod 6. In addition, the second motor 19 drives the auxiliary rod 62 to extend and retract axially through a built-in ball screw, precisely setting the ejection length. After all parameters are adjusted, the electric push rod 8 self-locks when powered off, the ball screw auxiliary rod mechanically locks, and the motor brake device simultaneously activate a triple locking mechanism, fixing the position, spacing, and length parameters of the ejector rod 6 as a rigid whole. During demolding, the ejector plate 5 drives the adjusted ejector rod 6 to rise vertically along the base plate 1, smoothly ejecting the molded lens cover. Throughout the ejection process, the adjustment mechanism remains silent, only performing rigid transmission motion, thus achieving rapid adaptation to multiple models while completely eliminating the risk of parameter drift during dynamic ejection.
[0041] It should be noted that, in another feasible embodiment, the adjustable length of the ejector rod 6 can provide the possibility of demolding. For example, after the horizontal position and spacing are adjusted, when the lampshade is formed in the molding chamber formed by the upper mold base 3 and the lower mold base 4, the auxiliary rod 62 can be ejected upward by activating the second electric motor in the main rod 61, thereby realizing the demolding operation.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
