Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a molding die for the inner cover of a car rearview mirror. Background Technology

[0002] The rearview mirror inner cover refers to the protective cover installed inside the rearview mirror frame. It is usually used to prevent direct sunlight and reduce scratches and damage, and has both protective and decorative functions. Since the rearview mirror inner cover is basically made of plastic, its production process relies on matching molding molds and injection molding machines.

[0003] Because the assembly surfaces on the outer wall of the inner cover of the rearview mirror have different orientations and directions, the existing core-pulling blocks of the molding mold only have the function of unidirectional reciprocating movement. Therefore, they cannot meet the needs of assembly surface forming and cannot form all the assembly surfaces with different orientations at one time. It is necessary to add a large number of core-pulling cylinders from the inside to achieve this, but this results in high mold manufacturing costs and a more complicated demolding process, which in turn leads to a longer demolding time. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Several second forming protrusions 1133 are formed outward on the fifth forming curved surface 1132.

[0038] A positioning recess 32 is also provided on the bottom surface of the main cavity 31. Correspondingly, a positioning boss 42 that cooperates with the positioning recess 32 is formed on the outer wall of the inner core protrusion 41 in the direction of the moving mold core 3.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The feed plate 6 in the moving mold assembly and the base plate 7 in the fixed mold assembly are respectively installed on the action mechanism and the machine body of the injection molding machine. The action mechanism drives the feed plate 6 to move backward, and then the flow divider 5 drives the moving module 1 to move backward and towards the fixed module 2 until the two are joined together (existing technology). At the same time, the end face of the moving mold core 3 and the end face of the fixed mold core 4 are joined together, and then the inner core protrusion 41 extends into the positioning cavity 32.

[0041] Then, the telescopic end of the first core-pulling cylinder 101 in the first composite core-pulling assembly 10 is driven to extend outward to drive the first slider 102 to move to the right, thereby driving the first auxiliary molding block 103 and the second auxiliary molding block 104 to move in an inclined direction toward the fixed mold core 4 along the first inclined groove 35 and the second inclined groove 34, so that the ends of the first extension block 1031 and the second extension block 1041 extend into the space between the inner core protrusion 41 and the positioning cavity 32.

[0042] At the same time, the telescopic end of the second core-pulling cylinder 91 in the second composite core-pulling assembly 9 is driven to extend outward to drive the second slider 92 to move to the left, thereby driving the third auxiliary molding block 93 to move tilted along the third inclined groove 33 toward the fixed mold core 4, so that the third extension block 931 extends into the space between the inner core protrusion 41 and the positioning cavity 32.

[0043] During the movement, the moving module 1 will drive the first traction column 124 in the first passive core pulling assembly 12 and the second traction column 114 in each of the second passive core pulling assemblies 11 to move backward, thereby forcing the third slider 121 and each of the fourth sliders 111 to move towards the fixed mold core 4, thereby forcing the first side molding block 123 and each of the second side molding blocks 113 to tilt and move towards the fixed mold core 4, thereby causing the end of the fourth extension block 1231 on the first side molding block 123 and the end of the fifth extension block 1131 on each of the second side molding blocks 113 to extend into the space between the inner core protrusion 41 and the positioning cavity 32.

[0044] Subsequently, the molten material enters the space between the inner core protrusion 41 and the positioning cavity 32 through the gate in the feed plate 6 and the runner in the diverter block 5. After cooling, it forms the inner cover of the rearview mirror (existing technology). Then, the telescopic ends of the first core-pulling cylinder 101 and the second core-pulling cylinder 91 are driven to retract inward, so that the first auxiliary molding block 103, the second auxiliary molding block 104 and the third auxiliary molding block 93 are reversed and reset in the same way. Then, the feed plate 6 is driven to move forward by the action mechanism, and then the moving module 1 and the moving mold core 3 are driven to move forward by the diverter block 5 and move away from the fixed module 2 and the fixed mold core 4 respectively. Finally, the inner cover of the rearview mirror is ejected forward by the ejection mechanism 8 (existing technology).

[0045] This invention combines active and passive core-pulling methods by using a first composite core-pulling component 10 and a second composite core-pulling component 9, thereby enabling the core-pulling process to have a two-stage steering function to adapt to the needs of assembly surface forming. This allows all assembly surfaces with different directions to be formed at once, eliminating the need to install additional core-pulling cylinders to reduce mold manufacturing costs and simplifying the demolding steps to shorten demolding time.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
