Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hot pressing mold technology, and specifically relates to a hot pressing molding mold for sealing thread plugs. Background Technology

[0002] A sealing wire plug is a component used to seal and protect wire harnesses by blocking wire holes. It is widely used in automobiles, electronic equipment, construction, and other fields, providing dustproof, waterproof, oilproof, and insulating functions to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment. It is typically made of elastic materials such as rubber and silicone, and comes in various shapes, commonly round, T-shaped, and cross-shaped. It generally includes a main body and a channel for wire threading; some sealing wire plugs also include a sealing cap, limiting groove, and raised sections. Currently, sealing wire plugs are generally produced through thermoforming. The thermoforming mold mainly consists of an upper mold and a lower mold. After the upper and lower molds are closed, a cavity is formed, and the material is thermoformed within the cavity. However, due to the relatively complex structure of sealing wire plugs, such as… Figure 7 As shown, the product has steps and other structures on its circumference. Although the material has a certain degree of flexibility and can produce elastic deformation during demolding to facilitate demolding, the bottom of the product is still in the mold cavity of the lower mold, and there is no space for it to deform, which makes demolding difficult and may even damage the product. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hot pressing mold for sealing thread plugs, thereby improving the ease of product demolding.

[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hot-press forming mold for sealing thread plugs, comprising:

[0005] The upper mold, lower mold, and middle plate are provided. The bottom surface of the upper mold is provided with a first forming groove, the surface of the lower mold is provided with a second forming groove, and the middle plate is provided with a forming cavity. The forming cavity, the first forming groove, and the second forming groove constitute a forming mold cavity.

[0006] The first forming groove is provided with a forming column for forming the threading hole of the sealing plug, the bottom surface of the forming column is in contact with the bottom surface of the second forming groove, and the forming cavity is provided with a forming ring groove for forming the sealing ring of the sealing plug.

[0007] The diameter of the forming cavity is smaller than the diameter of the upper opening of the second forming groove, and the bottom of the forming cavity smoothly transitions to the end face of the middle plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first forming groove is a circular groove, and a rectangular forming block is provided on one side of the first forming groove. The forming block is used to form a rectangular notch at the head of the sealing cable plug, so as to facilitate the cable passing through and being removed.

[0009] Furthermore, the second forming groove is a circular groove, and a chamfered bevel is provided inside the second forming groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the molding cavity is a cylindrical cavity, and a set of molding ring grooves are provided in the molding cavity, with equal spacing between the molding ring grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the first forming groove is provided with three forming pillars, which are arranged circumferentially around the center of the first forming groove. The forming pillars can form three through holes on the product.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower mold is provided with a groove that engages with the middle plate, and the side of the groove is provided with a positioning arc-shaped protrusion, and the side of the middle plate is provided with an arc-shaped groove that engages with the positioning arc-shaped protrusion.

[0013] Furthermore, the groove is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions, the middle plate is provided with positioning grooves that correspond to and fit with the positioning protrusions, the second forming groove is located on the positioning protrusions, and the forming cavity is located in the positioning groove.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the positioning protrusions is provided with a plurality of second forming grooves, and the number of the first forming grooves and forming cavities is the same as the number of the second forming grooves.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1) This utility model discloses a thermoforming mold for sealing thread plugs. Through the design of an upper mold, a lower mold, and a middle plate, the upper and lower parts of the product detach from the upper and lower molds first during demolding, leaving the product on the middle plate. At this point, the product has sufficient space to deform when pulled out, making it easier to remove and preventing damage. 2) A forming ring groove is designed in the forming cavity of the middle plate. This groove forms a sealing ring similar to a sealing ring on the side of the thread plug. Compared to the traditional design of installing a sealing ring in a groove, this structure is less expensive, and there is absolutely no gap between the sealing ring and the thread plug body, resulting in a better sealing effect.
