Abstract

A floating insert fixing structure belongs to the field of injection mold technology. It includes a female mold, a male mold, and a male mold platen. A through groove is formed in the female mold, and a female mold insert is placed within the groove. A front mold core is located at the lower part of the female mold insert, forming a product molding space between it and the rear mold core on the male mold. A set of floating sliders is located at the lower part of the female mold insert. A shovel is located in the male mold, and a top pressing mechanism and a ejector sleeve are located on the male mold platen. In this invention, after the male and female molds are closed, the top rod applies force to the shovel under the action of the elastic element in the top pressing mechanism. The shovel squeezes the floating sliders, causing multiple floating sliders to move radially simultaneously to limit the insertion of the insert. This is suitable for limiting the placement of inserts of different sizes. After mold opening, the shovel disengages from the floating sliders. Based on the elastic element between the floating sliders and the female mold insert, the floating sliders move outward a certain distance under the elastic force of the elastic element, disengaging from the insert and facilitating product removal.
