Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, specifically to an automotive injection molding mold with a positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Most automotive parts have irregular structures and require injection molding.

[0003] Existing automotive injection molds have many shortcomings: 1. When the mold is closed and opened, the pressure at different points is inconsistent, affecting the stability of the mold. 2. Different molds are required to make automotive injection molds with different structures, and the practicality of a single mold is low. 3. Due to the irregular structure of automotive injection molds, it is inconvenient for the injection plastic to flow, and deformation is easily caused by a single force during demolding.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automotive injection mold with a positioning structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Before manufacturing automotive injection molded parts, the corresponding first inner mold 106 and second inner mold 203 can be selected and installed in the first outer mold 101 and second outer mold 201 according to the requirements. Then, the locking plate 205 is pressed down into the pressure groove 208 by the second hydraulic rod 212. When the first inner mold 106 and second inner mold 203 are installed in the first outer mold 101 and second outer mold 201, the limiting groove 207 and the limiting post 210 are correspondingly sleeved to form internal positioning. When the upper mold group 1 and the lower mold group 2 are closed, the four sides of the upper mold group 1 and the lower mold group 2 are positioned by the locking block 108 and the locking groove 209.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1 in terms of overall structure and working principle.

In this embodiment, both the first inner mold 106 and the second inner mold 203 are detachable structures that can be replaced as needed, thus making them suitable for the production of different automotive injection molded parts. When producing different automotive injection molded parts, different first inner molds 106 and second inner molds 203 need to be assembled. Then, the second hydraulic rod 212 drives the locking plate 205 to press down into the pressure groove 208, thereby pressing the four corners of the first inner mold 106 and the second inner mold 203 tightly. The structure and function of other components are consistent with those of Embodiment 1.

[0054] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using this automotive injection molding mold with a positioning structure, before manufacturing the automotive injection mold, the corresponding first inner mold 106 and second inner mold 203 can be selected and installed in the first outer mold 101 and second outer mold 201 according to requirements. Then, the locking plate 205 is pressed down into the pressure groove 208 by the second hydraulic rod 212. When the first inner mold 106 and second inner mold 203 are installed in the first outer mold 101 and second outer mold 201, the limiting groove 207 and the limiting post 210 are correspondingly sleeved to form internal positioning. When the upper mold group 1 and the lower mold group 2 are closed, the four sides of the upper mold group 1 and the lower mold group 2 are positioned by the locking block 108 and the locking groove 209. When the overall mold is closed and separated, the locking plate 205 is pressed down into the pressure groove 208 by the locking block 108 and the locking groove 209. The upper parts of the first hydraulic rod 3 and the third hydraulic rod 5 drive the upper mold assembly 1 to move up and down. Multiple pressure sensors 204 detect the mold closing point to ensure that the pressure at each point is consistent. Then, the mold closing offset is automatically compensated by controlling the contraction force of the first hydraulic rod 3 and the third hydraulic rod 5. During injection molding, the injection molten plastic is injected into the injection groove between the first inner mold 106 and the second inner mold 203 through the outer feed port 105, the first insertion groove 109 and the inner feed port 107. The multiple inner feed ports 107 make the injection of plastic smoother and more uniform. During demolding, the upper part of the hydraulic demolding column 206 pushes out to eject the injection molded part. The multi-point hydraulic demolding column 206 makes demolding of the injection molded part more convenient.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
