Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to a car tailgate cover mold. Background Technology

[0002] The tailgate cover is a common automotive accessory. The tailgate is the door on the rear of an SUV or hatchback, and it is one of the most important external coverings, as well as a key component affecting the overall appearance quality of the vehicle. Like the trunk lid, the tailgate must have dustproof and waterproof functions, and its structure is basically the same.

[0003] As an independent system assembly within the car body, the tailgate structure generally consists of three main parts: the tailgate body, tailgate accessories, and the tailgate interior and exterior trim. The tailgate cover, a type of tailgate interior trim, is used to conceal and protect the wiring within the tailgate and is typically molded as a single piece using injection molding. Currently, common automotive tailgate cover molds on the market are quite similar in overall structure, belonging to conventional injection molds. They consist of upper and lower molds; after the upper and lower molds are closed, injection molding occurs from the sprue at the top of the upper mold, and the mold is formed after cooling. However, in practical use, there are some functional shortcomings and room for improvement. For example, the mold temperature is uncontrollable. During prolonged production, the injection mold itself reaches a high temperature, which affects the cooling of the workpiece. Current solutions involve adding a fan at the mold opening for cooling, but this is relatively slow, and there is room for further improvement in cooling efficiency. Additionally, preheating is required before injection molding to prevent premature solidification of the liquid plastic due to low temperatures. Temperature control is difficult to maintain and lacks easily adjustable temperature control functionality.

[0004] Now, a new type of automobile tailgate cover mold is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold for automobile tailgate covers to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of not having a function for easy temperature adjustment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a car tailgate cover mold, including a base plate, two sets of square irons fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a lower mold shell fixedly connected to the top of the square irons, an ejector base plate provided below the lower mold shell, an ejector panel provided at the top of the ejector base plate, a top plate provided above the base plate, an upper mold fixing plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, limit rods fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the upper mold fixing plate, a lower template fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a heat-conducting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower template, a PLC controller fixedly connected to the front end of the lower mold shell, an infrared temperature sensor installed at the rear end of the PLC controller, and a temperature control component for easy temperature adjustment provided inside the lower mold shell.

[0007] The temperature control component includes an inner cavity, which is located inside the top of the base plate. Heating elements are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity. A copper coil is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity. A water outlet is provided at the top left side of the copper coil, and a water inlet is provided at the bottom left side of the copper coil. A micro pump is installed on the left side of the top of the base plate.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the inlet, outlet and copper coil are internally connected, and the copper coil and the heat-conducting block are externally attached.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected between the micro pump and the inlet, and the micro pump, the inlet pipe, and the inlet are internally connected.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top end of the heating element and the bottom end of the heat-conducting block are attached to each other, and the micro pump, the heating element, and the PLC controller are electrically connected.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two sets of countersunk screw grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the top of the lower template, two sets of fixing screw holes are respectively opened on both sides of the top of the lower mold shell, an upper template is provided at the bottom of the upper mold fixing plate, corner fixing blocks are respectively welded to the front and rear ends of the top of the upper template, two sets of mounting bolts are longitudinally inserted into the inside of the corner fixing blocks, two sets of positioning grooves are respectively opened at the front and rear ends of the upper mold fixing plate, and reserved grooves are respectively opened at the four corners of the top of the upper template.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the countersunk screw groove and the fixed screw eye are in one-to-one correspondence in position and size, and the front and rear ends and left and right sides of the lower mold shell and the lower template are flush.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the positions and dimensions of the corner fixing block and the positioning groove correspond one-to-one, and the mounting bolt passes through the corner fixing block and extends into the interior of the upper mold fixing plate.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the infrared temperature sensor penetrates the front end of the lower mold shell and extends into the interior of the inner cavity, and the PLC controller and the infrared temperature sensor are electrically connected.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the automobile tailgate cover mold not only realizes the function of easy temperature adjustment and control, and the function of replaceable mold core, but also realizes the function of internal temperature feedback.

[0016] (1) By setting up a micro pump, water inlet pipe, water outlet, copper coil, electric heating element, inner cavity, lower template and heat conduction block, when in use, the lower mold shell and upper mold fixing plate are close together, so that the lower template and upper template are tightly fitted. Liquid plastic is injected from the water outlet at the top of the top plate and quickly fills the cavity of the mold to form a shape. Before injection molding, the lower template is preheated. The electric heating element is connected to the power source and heats up. The heat is transferred to the lower template through the heat conduction block to preheat it in advance. After injection molding, the electric heating element stops heating. At the same time, the micro pump continuously pumps cold water into the copper coil through the water inlet pipe and water outlet. The temperature inside the inner cavity drops rapidly. The low temperature is transferred to the lower template through the heat conduction block to accelerate the cooling of the workpiece. Since the tailgate cover itself is relatively thin, the production efficiency of the tailgate cover is greatly improved after accelerated cooling, and the function of easy temperature control is realized.

[0017] (2) By setting countersunk screw grooves, fixing screw holes, upper template, corner fixing blocks, mounting bolts, positioning grooves, top plate, upper mold fixing plate, limit rods and reserved grooves, when in use, the lower template and the lower mold shell are connected by four sets of countersunk bolts. The countersunk screw grooves and fixing screw holes reserve positions for the bolts to be driven in, and can be directly replaced. The upper template and the upper mold fixing plate are assembled by corner fixing blocks, mounting bolts and positioning grooves. The upper template can be replaced by removing the mounting bolts, thus realizing the function of replaceable mold core;

[0018] (3) By setting up a PLC controller and an infrared temperature sensor, when in use, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared temperature sensor pass through the gap of the copper coil and fall on the heat conduction block, which monitors the temperature of the heat conduction block in real time and feeds the value back to the display screen of the PLC controller for easy reference by the staff, thus realizing the function of internal temperature feedback.

The top of the heating element 11 and the bottom of the heat-conducting block 14 are attached.

[0036] Working principle: When using this utility model, firstly, the lower mold shell 5 and the upper mold fixing plate 22 are fitted together, so that the lower mold plate 13 and the upper mold plate 17 are tightly fitted. Liquid plastic is injected from the sprue at the top of the top plate 21 and quickly fills the cavity of the mold to form a shape. Before injection molding, the lower mold plate 13 is preheated. The heating element 11 is connected to electricity and heats up. The heat is transferred to the lower mold plate 13 through the heat conduction block 14 to preheat it. After injection molding, the heating element 11 stops heating. At the same time, the micro pump 6 continuously pumps cold water into the copper coil 10 through the water inlet pipe 7 and the water inlet 8. The temperature inside the inner cavity 12 drops rapidly. The low temperature is transferred to the lower mold plate 13 through the heat conduction block 14 to accelerate the cooling of the workpiece. Since the tailgate cover itself is relatively thin, the production efficiency of the tailgate cover is greatly improved after accelerated cooling. The lower template 13 and the lower mold shell 5 are connected by four sets of countersunk bolts. The countersunk bolt grooves 15 and fixing bolt holes 16 provide positions for the bolts to be driven in, allowing for direct replacement. The upper template 17 and the upper mold fixing plate 22 are assembled by corner fixing blocks 18, mounting bolts 19, and positioning grooves 20. The upper template 17 can be replaced by removing the mounting bolts 19. The infrared rays emitted by the infrared temperature sensor 26 pass through the gaps in the copper coil 10 and fall on the heat-conducting block 14, monitoring the temperature of the heat-conducting block 14 in real time and feeding back the values ​​to the display screen of the PLC controller 25 for easy reference by the staff.
