Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of injection mold technology, and more specifically, it relates to an injection mold for processing automotive center console panels. Background Technology

[0002] As a key automotive interior component integrating control buttons, displays, and various functional interfaces, the automotive center console panel relies heavily on injection molding for its mass production. The injection mold, as the core equipment in the injection molding process, typically consists of two separable mold bodies, as well as key components such as the mold core and the finished product ejection mechanism. The coordinated operation of these structures ensures the smooth progress of the automotive center console panel injection molding process.

[0003] Existing application number: CN201922335607.6. This utility model relates to the field of high-gloss panel manufacturing technology, and in particular to an injection molding device for a high-gloss panel base for automotive center consoles. It includes a base plate, a lower mold, a movable plate, a hydraulic push rod, a buffer spring, a push rod, and a push plate. The lower mold is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a movable cavity is formed in the center of the lower mold. The movable plate is movably connected inside the movable cavity. The hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the center of the base plate, and its output end is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the movable plate. The buffer spring is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, and the bottom of the push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate. In this utility model, the hydraulic push rod exerts a certain pushing force on the movable plate during operation. The push rod applies an upward pushing force to the push plate, causing the push plate to lift the finished high-gloss panel base upwards. This design is convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, facilitating the demolding of the high-gloss panel base.

[0004] Based on the above, due to differences in car model versions and configurations, there are often subtle design differences in the button opening area and function interface layout of the center console. It is necessary to change the mold cavity to match the product requirements of different specifications. The traditional solution is usually to prepare multiple special molds or use screws to fasten the mold core. When changing, the screws need to be removed to take out the mold core. This not only leads to high mold preparation costs, but also cumbersome and time-consuming operations, which seriously affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content
