Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaping device technology, and in particular to an internal support shaping device for MIM products. Background Technology
[0002] MIM (Metal Injection Molding) is a widely used metal fabrication process in manufacturing. MIM is a molding method that involves injecting a plasticized mixture of metal powder and binder into a mold. It involves first mixing the selected metal powder with the binder, then granulating the mixture before injection molding into the desired shape. However, after injection molding, the resulting semi-finished product undergoes debonding and sintering. Irregular deformation can occur during debonding and sintering, leading to defective products. For example, in the production of products with inward-curving sides, after sintering, the inward-curving areas tend to shrink and deform inwards, causing the shape and dimensions of the product to deviate from the preset values. Therefore, a shaping device with an inclined ejector is typically used to reshape the product. However, existing shaping mechanisms often result in the MIM product being tightly fastened to the lower mold core and the inclined ejector after shaping, making it difficult to remove the shaped product. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for shaping and supporting MIM products that facilitates the removal of shaped MIM products.

[0033] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The MIM product internal support shaping device includes an upper mold assembly 1, a lower mold assembly 2, and a lower mold core 3, an inclined ejector 4, and a first elastic member 41 disposed on the lower mold assembly 2; the inclined ejector 4 penetrates the lower mold core 3; one end of the inclined ejector 4 near the upper mold assembly 1 is inclined to one side, and the other side is adapted to the inner wall surface of the MIM product 9; the first elastic member 41 is used to drive the inclined ejector 4 to move towards the upper mold assembly 1.
[0035] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when the MIM product inner support shaping device opens the mold, the elastic force of the first elastic element 41 drives the inclined ejector 4 to move towards the direction close to the upper mold assembly 1, and the inclined ejector 4 pushes the MIM product 9, causing the MIM product 9 to move away from the lower mold core 3, making it convenient to remove the MIM product 9.
[0036] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 2 is also provided with an ejector pin 5 and a second elastic element 51. The ejector pin 5 is disposed through the lower mold core 3, and the second elastic element 51 is used to drive the ejector pin 5 to move toward the upper mold assembly 1.
[0037] As described above, when the MIM product 9 is being molded and opened, the second elastic element 51 applies a pushing force to the MIM product 9 through the ejector pin 5, causing the MIM product 9 to move away from the lower mold core 3, making it easier to remove the MIM product 9.
[0038] Furthermore, the upper mold assembly 1 is provided with a contour insert 12, which protrudes from the side of the upper mold assembly 1 near the lower mold assembly 2, and the contour insert 12 is adapted to the shape of part of the outer wall surface of the MIM product 9.
[0039] As described above, the contour insert 12 can compress the outer wall surface of the MIM product 9 during mold closing, thereby correcting the shape of the MIM product 9.
[0040] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 2 is also provided with a limiting block 22, and the inclined ejector 4 is provided with a slot 42. The limiting block 22 is inserted into the slot 42 to limit the movement stroke of the inclined ejector 4.
[0041] As can be seen from the above description, the limiting block 22 can prevent the inclined ejector 4 from disengaging from the lower mold core 3.
[0042] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 2 is also provided with a contour pin 6, which penetrates the lower mold core 3, and the end of the contour pin 6 protrudes from the side of the lower mold core 3 that is close to the upper mold assembly 1.
[0043] As described above, the contour pin 6 is used to insert into the hole structure of the MIM product 9 to ensure that the hole structure of the MIM product 9 does not deform during the shaping process.
[0044] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 2 is provided with at least one slider 7, which is slidable relative to the lower mold assembly 2 to approach or move away from the lower mold core 3. The side of the slider 7 that approaches the lower mold core 3 is adapted to a portion of the outer wall surface of the MIM article 9. The upper mold assembly 1 is provided with a shovel base 11 for driving the slider 7.
[0045] As described above, when the mold is closed, the slider 7 can restrict the shape and size of the MIM product 9 from the outside, which can further improve the dimensional accuracy of the corrected MIM product 9 and prevent the MIM product 9 from breaking. When the mold is opened, the slider 7 can move away from the lower mold core 3 to facilitate the removal of the MIM product 9.
[0046] Furthermore, the lower mold assembly 2 is provided with a slide groove 23, and the slider 7 slides and engages with the slide groove 23.
[0047] As can be seen from the above description, the sliding connection between the lower mold assembly 2 and the slider 7 is simple, stable, and conducive to improving service life.
[0048] Furthermore, the end of the slide groove 23 away from the lower mold core 3 is connected to the outer side of the lower mold assembly 2, and a limiting member 24 is provided in the slide groove 23 to limit the movement stroke of the slider 7.
[0049] As can be seen from the above description, the slide 23 connects to the outer side of the lower mold assembly 2, which is conducive to cutting and forming, and the limiting member 24 can prevent the slider 7 from exiting the lower mold assembly 2 from the end opening of the slide 23.
[0050] Furthermore, the slider 7 includes a sliding seat 71 and an adapter block 72. The sliding seat 71 is slidably connected to the lower mold assembly 2, and the adapter block 72 is located on the side of the sliding seat 71 near the lower mold core 3. The adapter block 72 is adapted to the shape of part of the outer wall surface of the MIM product 9.
[0051] As can be seen from the above description, the adapter block 72 can be replaced according to the shape of the MIM product 9, which helps to extend the service life of the slider 7 and reduce the maintenance cost of the slider 7.
[0052] Furthermore, a third elastic element 73 is provided on the side of the slider 7 near the lower mold core 3.
[0053] As can be seen from the above description, when the mold is opened, the elastic force applied by the third elastic element 73 to the slider 7 will drive the slider 7 to move away from the lower mold core 3, thereby facilitating the removal of the MIM product 9.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower mold assembly 2 is also provided with a limiting block 22, and the side of the inclined ejector 4 is provided with a slot 42.

[0061] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the lower mold assembly 2 is provided with at least one slider 7. The slider 7 is slidable relative to the lower mold assembly 2 to move closer to or away from the lower mold core 3. The side of the slider 7 that is close to the lower mold core 3 is adapted to a portion of the outer wall surface of the MIM product 9.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower mold assembly 2 is provided with a slide groove 23, and the sliding seat 71 of the slider 7 slides and engages with the slide groove 23.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, a third elastic element 73 is provided on the side of the slider 7 near the lower mold core 3.

Specifically, the third elastic element 73 is a spring, and the sliding seat 71 of the slider 7 has a receiving hole on the side near the lower mold core 3, with at least a portion of the third elastic element 73 disposed in the receiving hole. In other embodiments, the third elastic element 73 may be a spring sheet or a spring pad.
[0065] The working principle of the MIM product inner support shaping device disclosed in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is briefly described as follows: When the upper mold assembly 1 and the lower mold assembly 2 are separated, the inclined ejector 4 moves towards the upper mold assembly 1 to the limit position under the action of the first elastic member 41, the ejector pin 5 moves towards the upper mold assembly 1 to the limit position under the action of the second elastic member 51, and the slider 7 moves away from the lower mold core 3 to the contact limiting member 24 under the action of the third elastic member 73. When shaping the MIM product 9 is required, the MIM product 9 to be shaped is inverted onto the lower mold core 3, and the conforming pin 6 passes through the hole-like structure of the MIM product 9. At this time, the end of the inclined ejector 4 is located inside the MIM product 9, and the ejector pin 5 abuts against the MIM product 9. The upper mold assembly 1 and the lower mold assembly 2 are then closed. During the mold closing process, the upper mold assembly 1 applies a pushing force to the inclined ejector 4 through the MIM product 9, causing the inclined ejector 4 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element 41 and move away from the upper mold assembly 1. The side of the inclined ejector 4 gradually approaches the inner edge of the MIM product 9, and the upper mold assembly 1... The ejector pin 5 is pushed by the MIM product 9, causing the ejector pin 5 to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic element 51 and move away from the upper mold assembly 1. The shovel base 11 of the upper mold assembly 1 drives the slider 7 to overcome the elastic force of the third elastic element 73 and slide closer to the lower mold core 3. When the upper mold assembly 1 and the lower mold assembly 2 are fully closed, the side of the inclined ejector 4 presses the inner buckle of the MIM product 9 from the inside out to achieve shaping. The ejector pin 5 is flush with the side of the lower mold core 3 that is close to the upper mold assembly 1. The adapter blocks 72 of the multiple sliders 7 abut against the outer wall surface of the MIM product 9 to prevent the MIM product 9 from breaking. After the shaping is completed, the mold is opened. When the mold is opened, the slider 7 moves away from the lower mold core 3 under the action of the third elastic element 73, the adapter block 72 separates from the MIM product 9, and the angled ejector 4 moves towards the upper mold assembly 1 under the action of the first elastic element 41. The angled ejector 4 has an movable gap relative to the lower mold core 3 so that the side of the angled ejector 4 can be separated from the inner snap of the MIM product 9. The end of the angled ejector 4 near the upper mold assembly 1 pushes the MIM product 9 towards the upper mold assembly 1. The ejector pin 5 pushes the MIM product 9 towards the upper mold assembly 1 under the action of the second elastic element 51, so as to facilitate the removal of the MIM product 9.
[0066] In summary, when the MIM product internal support shaping device provided by this utility model opens the mold, the elastic force of the first elastic element drives the inclined ejector to move towards the direction of the upper mold assembly. The inclined ejector pushes the MIM product, causing the MIM product to move away from the lower mold core, making it easier to remove the MIM product.
[0067] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
