Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mold for producing waterproof mid-frames for smartphones, including a base 6, a frame 1 fixedly connected to the top of the base 6, an upper template 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 via a cylinder, a lower template 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base 6, and a replacement component 4 and a sealing component 5 fixedly connected to the top of the base 6; the replacement component 4 includes a fixing block 41, a lead screw 42 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 41, a turntable 43 fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 42, a connecting plate 44 fixedly connected to the other end of the lead screw 42, a support plate 45 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 6, a first sliding groove 46 formed on the inner wall of the support plate 45, a second sliding groove 47 formed on the inner wall of the base 6, a slider 48 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower template 3, and the lead screw 42 adopts... Made of high-strength alloy steel, the threaded part is processed by rolling to ensure smooth and stable rotation of the lead screw 42 and has excellent wear resistance. It can still maintain transmission when the position of the lower template 3 is frequently adjusted. The end of the lead screw 42 near the turntable 43 is equipped with a torque limiting device to prevent damage to the lead screw 42, connecting plate 44 or lower template 3 due to excessive force. The top of the base 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 41. The fixing block 41 and the base 6 are fixedly connected by welding to ensure the connection strength. The outer wall of the connecting plate 44 is engaged with the outer wall of the lower template 3. The first slide groove 46 and the second slide groove 47 are equally opened. The support plate 45 is fixedly connected to the base 6 by bolts. The slider 48 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 46. The slider 48 matches the first slide groove 46 and the second slide groove 47.

[0024] The sealing assembly 5 includes an upper template 2, with a groove 51 at its bottom. A sliding hole 55 is formed on the inner wall of the lower template 3. A spring 54 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 55, and a positioning post 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 55. A limit ring 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding hole 55. A sealing ring 56 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower template 3. The sealing ring 56 is made of high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant fluororubber, and its cross-sectional shape is lip-shaped. The positioning post 52 engages with the groove 51. The positioning post 52 is designed... Four positioning posts 52 are provided, with each of the four corners of the lower template 3. The inner wall of the slot 51 is coated with a wear-resistant coating, which can reduce the wear of the positioning posts 52 during the engagement and disengagement process with the slot 51, and extend the service life of the upper template 2 and the positioning posts 52. One end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning post 52, and the other end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding hole 55. The positioning post 52 presses down on the spring 54, causing the spring 54 to retract. After processing, the upper template 2 is disengaged, and the spring 54 returns to the positioning post 52.

[0025] In use, when the lower template 3 needs to be replaced, the operator rotates the turntable 43. Since the turntable 43 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 42, the lead screw 42 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed block 41. Based on the threaded connection between the lead screw 42 and the fixed block 41, the rotation of the lead screw 42 will drive the connecting plate 44 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 42, causing the connecting plate 44 to separate from the outer wall of the lower template 3, releasing the clamping restriction on the lower template 3. At this time, the slider 48 at the bottom of the lower template 3 can move within the first slide groove 46 and the second slide groove 47. Sliding: The operator pushes the lower template 3 out along the slide groove to complete the disassembly of the old template. When installing the new lower template 3, the bottom slider 48 of the new template is aligned with the slide groove and pushed in. Then, the turntable 43 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the connecting plate 44 re-clamp the lower template 3, fixing the new template. During the mold closing process, the cylinder drives the upper template 2 to move downward. Under the elastic force of the spring 54, the positioning post 52 on the lower template 3 is initially higher than the upper surface of the lower template 3. As the upper template 2 gradually approaches the lower template 3, the upper template... 2. The bottom slot 51 contacts the positioning post 52. The positioning post 52 is squeezed by the slot 51 and slides downward against the elastic force of the spring 54, entering the sliding hole 55. When the slot 51 and the positioning post 52 are fully aligned, the spring 54 pushes the positioning post 52 into the slot 51, realizing the positioning of the upper template 2 and the lower template 3. At the same time, the sealing ring 56 on the top of the lower template 3 fits tightly against the upper template 2, forming a sealed space between the two to prevent the molten plastic from overflowing during the injection molding process. The limiting ring 53 limits the rising height of the positioning post 52 to ensure that the positioning post 52 is accurately positioned when it is inserted into the slot 51. After the lower template 3 is replaced and the mold sealing assembly 5 is positioned and sealed, the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity. Under the action of high temperature and high pressure, the plastic fills the entire cavity. After cooling and solidification, the cylinder drives the upper template 2 to move upward to open the mold. Since the positioning post 52 is separated from the slot 51, the operator can take out the molded waterproof smartphone frame. Then, the lower template 3 can be replaced again or the next round of injection molding can continue according to production needs.
