Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of forming equipment technology, and in particular to a forming equipment for bending thin-walled structures of new energy battery covers. Background Technology

[0002] The thin-walled bending structure of new energy battery covers places extremely high demands on the uniformity of melt flow in the molding process. In existing technologies, most traditional hot runner molding devices adopt a single-point hot runner design. The melt in a single-point hot runner needs to flow a long distance to reach the distant bending area. During this process, the melt will solidify prematurely due to the low temperature, resulting in material shortage at the edges or excessive surface roughness.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a device for forming a thin-walled structure by bending a new energy battery cover. The device includes an upper mold 100 and a lower mold 200.

[0025] The following is a detailed description of the structure of the thin-walled bending forming device for new energy battery covers.

[0026] The upper mold 100 includes an upper template 110 and a first mold core 120. The first mold core 120 is disposed in the upper template 110 and has multiple gates 130 arranged in an array on the first mold core 120. The lower mold 200 includes a lower template 210 and a second mold core 220. The second mold core 220 is disposed in the lower template 210 and forms multiple molding cavities 230 between the second mold core 220 and the first mold core 120. Each molding cavity 230 is connected to four gates 130.

[0027] After the mold is closed, the molten raw material is simultaneously injected into the molding cavity 230 through multiple gates 130 on the first mold core 120. Since each molding cavity 230 is connected to four gates 130, the raw material fills the molding cavity 230 from multiple directions and forms a bent thin-walled structure of the battery cover after cooling and solidification. When the mold is opened, the upper mold 100 rises and the molded part remains in the lower mold 200.

[0028] Thus, the multi-gate 130 design enables multi-directional uniform filling of molten material, shortens the mold filling time, and reduces weld line defects; the interconnected layout of the molding cavity 230 and the gate 130 optimizes the runner structure, improves the mold filling efficiency and the quality of the molded parts; the arrayed gates 130 and molding cavities 230 support mass production and significantly improve processing efficiency.

[0029] This new energy battery cover bending thin-walled structure forming device achieves multi-directional synchronous feeding of melt from the bending thin-walled structure through four gates 130 corresponding to each forming cavity 230, thereby shortening the melt flow distance and ensuring forming quality.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the four gates 130 corresponding to each molding cavity 230 are arranged along the second direction.

[0031] It is worth noting that the first direction corresponds to the X-axis (left-right direction) of the spatial coordinate system, the second direction corresponds to the Y-axis (front-back direction) of the spatial coordinate system, and the third direction corresponds to the Z-axis (up-down direction) of the spatial coordinate system.

[0032] Understandably, when the molten material enters the molding cavity 230 through the four gates 130 arranged along the second direction, the material forms a symmetrical flow path in the second direction, simultaneously filling the areas on both sides of the cavity, avoiding uneven pressure or insufficient filling caused by unilateral feeding. The gates 130 arranged along a specific direction make the material flow more even, effectively controlling the stress distribution of the molded part during the filling process, reducing problems such as deformation and shrinkage caused by uneven filling, and are especially suitable for the high-precision molding requirements of thin-walled structures.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of molding cavities 230 is four.

[0034] After mold closing, four molding cavities 230 are formed simultaneously. Molten raw materials are injected into the four cavities through their respective gates 130, and the forming of the four battery cover bending structures can be completed in one injection molding process. After mold opening, demolding is performed simultaneously. Compared with single-cavity molds, multi-cavity molds increase production efficiency by four times.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower mold 200 includes a base plate 240, and an ejector mechanism 300 is provided between the base plate 240 and the lower mold plate 210.

[0036] After mold opening, the ejector mechanism 300 moves upward under the action of the drive device, pushing the molded part in the lower mold plate 210 to detach from the second mold core 220, completing the demolding action; after demolding, the top plate 310 falls back to the initial position, waiting for the next cycle. The ejector mechanism 300 realizes automated demolding of the molded part, avoiding the tedious operation of manual part removal and improving production efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, the drive device can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the ejector mechanism 300 includes a top plate 310 and an upper ejector column 320. The top plate 310 is movably disposed between the bottom plate 240 and the lower template 210. The upper ejector column 320 has multiple columns and is evenly distributed on the top plate 310. Parts of the upper ejector column 320 pass through the second mold core 220.

[0039] When the top plate 310 moves upward, the upper ejector pins 320 pass through the ejection holes of the second mold core 220, with their top ends abutting against the bottom of the molded part, uniformly ejecting the molded part from the molding cavity 230. After ejection, the robot arm removes the molded part, the top plate 310 falls back under the action of the drive device, and the upper ejector pins 320 return to the second mold core 220. Multiple evenly distributed upper ejector pins 320 provide balanced ejection force, avoiding deformation or damage to the molded part caused by single-point ejection; the mating structure between the ejector pins and the second mold core 220 ensures the guiding accuracy of the ejection process and improves the reliability of demolding.

[0040] In some embodiments, the top plate 310 includes an upper plate and a lower plate, which are fixed together by bolts. The upper plate has a mounting groove and a through hole along a third direction. The mounting groove and the through hole are connected. The upper top column 320 includes a cylindrical part and a mounting part connected together. The diameter of the mounting part is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical part. The lower surface of the mounting part contacts the lower plate. The cylindrical part passes through the through hole. This improves the connection stability between the upper top column 320 and the top plate 310.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a spring 330 is provided between the top plate 310 and the lower template 210.

[0042] When the molded part is demolded, the top plate 310 moves upward and the spring 330 is compressed. During the reset process, the top plate 310 moves downward and the elastic force of the spring 330 pushes the top plate 310 downward. In this way, the spring 330 provides buffering and auxiliary power during the demolding process of the molded part, reduces the load on the drive device, and ensures smooth and impact-free ejection.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 240 is provided with a plurality of guide posts 340, and the top plate 310 is sleeved in the guide posts 340.

[0044] In this way, the top plate 310 can move up and down along the guide post 340, providing precise guidance for the movement of the top plate 310.
