[0036] 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.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 One embodiment of this utility model includes a mold blank A plate 1, a mold blank B plate 13, and a mold blank base plate 14. The mold blank A plate 1 is disposed above the mold blank B plate 13, and the two are connected by four guide pillars 22. The mold blank B plate 13 is provided with a mold groove 8 that cooperates with the guide pillars 22 to achieve precise positioning during the mold opening and closing process.
[0038] The mold blank B plate 13 is fixedly connected to the mold blank base plate 14 below. The mold blank base plate 14 has multiple mold feet 3 at its lower end to support the entire mold structure and install it on the injection molding equipment. The mold blank A plate 1 has a channel in the middle, in which a nozzle 2 is installed to guide the plastic melt injected by the injection molding machine to the cavity where the mold core 16 is located. The front end of the mold blank A plate 1 is respectively provided with an input end 28 and an output end 29 to ensure the air pressure balance in the mold cavity.
[0039] The mold core 16 is a hollow structure, located in the molding area between mold blank A plate 1 and mold blank B plate 13, and is used to define the shape and functional features of the dust cover. The mold core 16 has a central insertion hole for the angled ejector 17 to be inserted and pushed out at an angle when the mold opens, for molding and removing parts with undercut structures. A seat dust cover 26 is provided on the outside of the angled ejector 17 to protect the internal precision components. The angled ejector 17 is driven by a hydraulic cylinder 15 located below the mold blank base plate 14, and the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on a hydraulic cylinder seat 19.
[0040] The inner side of the mold core 16 is also provided with a pair of inner sliders 18, which slide and cooperate with the inclined ejector 17 to push out the complex internal cavity area. On both sides of the mold core 16, there is also a pair of horizontally sliding sliders 6, which are guided by guide rails in conjunction with the mold blank square iron 12, completing the demolding operation of side holes or snap-fit structures when the mold opens. The mold blank square iron 12 is fixed to the side of the mold blank B plate 13 by screws.
[0041] Two external sliders 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold. Each external slider 21 is driven by an independent hydraulic cylinder 4 and a hydraulic cylinder 25. The hydraulic cylinder 4 is installed in the hydraulic cylinder seat 5 on the mold base plate 14, and the hydraulic cylinder 25 is installed in the hydraulic cylinder seat 27 on the mold base plate 14. They can push the external sliders 21 to achieve lateral demolding. Wear-resistant blocks 20 are provided at the contact points between the external sliders 21 and the mold core 16 to reduce wear on the mold during high-frequency demolding and extend its service life.
[0042] An annular cooling water channel is provided inside the mold blank B plate 13. One end is connected to the water nozzle connector 7, and the other end is connected to the water collection block 10 through the water pipe 11, forming a closed-loop water circulation path. This cooling system can efficiently cool the mold core 16 and the sliding structure, shorten the injection molding cycle, and improve product stability.
[0043] To facilitate the ejection of the molded part, the mold base plate 14 is provided with an ejector plate support 9 in the middle, on which several ejector pin assemblies are installed to eject the product from the mold core 16 during the mold opening stage. The ejector pin structure can automatically reset when the mold is closed.
[0044] To ensure that mold plate A 1 and mold plate B 13 are stably closed during operation, multiple fastening screws 23 and clamping blocks 24 are provided around the mold to realize the mold locking, positioning and fixing functions, and ensure safe and high-precision operation during the injection molding process.
[0045] Working principle: Before injection molding begins, mold blank A plate 1 and mold blank B plate 13 close along the direction of guide post 22 under the drive of the injection molding machine. The lower end of guide post 22 is inserted into the mold groove 8 on mold blank B plate 13 to achieve precise positioning of the mold. Mold blank A plate 1 and mold blank B plate 13 are firmly pressed together by fastening screws 23 and clamping blocks 24 to ensure tight cavity closure and eliminate the risk of material leakage.
[0046] Subsequently, the injection molding machine nozzle connects with the nozzle 2, and the molten plastic enters the cavity defined by the mold core 16 through the nozzle 2, filling the entire product structure area. The mold core 16 includes the main outline of the dust cover and, together with the inner slider 18, outer slider 21, angled ejector 17, and slider 6, defines complex internal and external structural features.
[0047] After the molten plastic fills the cavity, it begins to cool down through the built-in cooling system. Cooling water enters the internal water channel of the mold blank B plate 13 from an external water source through the water nozzle connector 7, flows into the water collection block 10 through the water pipe 11, and forms a closed loop circulation to cool the area around the mold core 16, the slider 6 and the inclined ejector 17, so that the plastic can be shaped in a short time.
[0048] After the mold cools down, the injection molding machine starts the mold opening action, and mold blank A plate 1 separates from mold blank B plate 13 under the guidance of guide post 22. Hydraulic cylinder 15, located below mold blank base plate 14, is activated, pushing the inclined ejector 17 mounted on hydraulic cylinder seat 19 to eject obliquely, disengaging it from the inner undercut structure of the product. Simultaneously, the inclined ejector 17 drives the inner slider 18 to slide, assisting in ejecting the complex internal cavity structure. The slider 6 in mold blank B plate 13 slides outward under the guidance of the guide rail and mold blank square iron 12, releasing the tightness of side holes, positioning clips, and other lateral structures. Hydraulic cylinder 4, mounted on hydraulic cylinder seat 5, drives the outer slider 21 to push out horizontally, completing the demolding action of the side features. The wear-resistant block 20 at the contact point provides protection during sliding, preventing wear on the mold core 16.
[0049] After all the lateral structures have disengaged, the ejector assembly on the ejector plate 9 is activated, ejecting the shaped dust cover product from the mold core 16, thus achieving demolding. After demolding is complete, each slider returns to its original position under the action of a spring or hydraulic reset structure, and the mold structure automatically restores itself, preparing for the next injection molding cycle.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
