Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, and in particular to an injection mold for a coffee machine knob. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, coffee machine knobs are typically used to control different functions of the machine. The specific design varies depending on the brand and model, and they are usually made of plastic and injection molded. For example... Figure 1 As shown, because the center of the knob needs to connect to the lever on the coffee machine, its center has a cavity structure and a lever mounting cavity structure for assembly with the lever. Since there is no corresponding injection mold in the prior art, this application provides an injection mold for a coffee machine knob to injection mold the above-mentioned structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an injection mold for a coffee machine knob, which has a simple and reasonable structure, stable and reliable operation, can be efficiently injection molded and quickly demolded, and can injection mold a coffee machine knob with a square hole in the middle for mounting a rotating rod, making it convenient to connect with the rotating rod.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An injection mold for a coffee machine knob includes a left mounting base, a right mounting base, a left mold assembly, a right mold assembly, and a demolding assembly;
[0006] Since the molds in this application are generally placed horizontally in the injection molding machine, the description is based on their positional relationship in use, with the left-side mounting on the left side as an example (but not limited to this mounting method).
[0007] The left mounting base includes a left end plate, a connecting plate, and guide rods; the left end plate is vertically arranged, and its right side is connected to the vertically arranged connecting plate, which consists of two opposing, spaced-apart connecting plates; two guide rods are horizontally arranged on the right side of the connecting plate.
[0008] The right side of the left mounting base is fixed to the horizontally arranged demolding assembly; the right end face of the connecting plate is connected to the left mold assembly;
[0009] The left mold assembly includes a left mold base, a left mold, and a mold core. The left mold base is vertically arranged and is a square plate with a recessed cavity on its right end face. The left mold is embedded in the recessed cavity. The left mold has several raised mold cores. A core rod is horizontally arranged in the middle of the mold core. The outer edge of the mold core has a glue inlet hole and an ejector pin hole.
[0010] The demolding assembly includes a cylinder, a compression spring, demolding ejector pins, guide pillars, and a push base. The push base is vertically positioned, with several demolding ejector pins horizontally arranged on its right end face. The number of demolding ejector pins matches the number of knob-shaped mold cavities. Four guide pillars are also horizontally arranged on the right end face of the push base, and the cylinder is slidably connected to the guide pillars. The compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide pillars, with its left and right ends respectively abutting the push base and the left mold base. The cylinder is horizontally positioned, and its output shaft is connected to the left end face of the push base.
[0011] The right mold assembly includes a right mold base and a right mold. The right mold base is vertically arranged, and its left end face has a second recess, within which the right mold is tightly fitted. The left end face of the right mold has several forming cavities. (When the left and right mold assemblies are assembled and the mold is closed) the mold core is inserted into the forming cavity, and there is a gap between the mold core and the forming cavity, which is the knob forming cavity. The gap area formed by the mold core, the forming cavity, and the core rod constitutes the outer shape of the knob.
[0012] The left mold has an ejector pin cavity in the middle, and the right end of the ejector pin is located inside the ejector pin cavity.
[0013] The right end of the right mold assembly is provided with a hot nozzle socket, which is connected to the injection molding channel.
[0014] The injection runner system includes a main runner and branch runners. The main runner is divided into four branch runners, which are connected to the injection port. The injection port is connected to the knob molding cavity.
[0015] Preferably, the left mold and the right mold are provided with a plurality of coolant channels; the coolant channels are located around the left molding cavity and the right molding cavity to cool the left mold and the right mold, so that the molten plastic solution is cooled and formed quickly.
[0016] Preferably, the right mold assembly further includes four sliding sleeves, each with a guide cavity in the middle; the guide rod is inserted into the guide cavity.
[0017] The right module assembly is fixed on the right mounting base.
[0018] Briefly describe its demolding process:
[0019] During demolding, the right mounting base and right mold assembly move to the right, and the left mounting base and left mold assembly move to the left, separating the right mold base and right mold from the left mold. There is no east or west limit on the right side of the knob. At this time, the cylinder moves to push the push plate to the right along the guide rod, and the ejector pin moves to the right, pushing the knob off the mold core and detaching it from the mold core, thus completing the demolding.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] Its structure is simple and reasonable, and its operation is stable and reliable; it can be injection molded efficiently and demolded quickly; it can be injection molded to produce a coffee machine knob with a square hole in the middle for easy connection with the rotating rod.

[0038] The demolding assembly 5 includes a cylinder, a compression spring 51, demolding ejector pins 52, guide pillars 53, and a push base 54. The push base 54 is vertically arranged, and its right end face is horizontally provided with several demolding ejector pins 52. The number of demolding ejector pins 52 is adapted to the number of knob forming cavities 46. The right end face of the push base 54 is also horizontally provided with four guide pillars 53, which are slidably connected to the guide pillars 53. The compression spring 51 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide pillars 53, and its left and right ends are respectively attached to the push base 54 and the left mold base 31. The cylinder is horizontally arranged, and its output shaft is connected to the left end face of the push base 54.
[0039] The right mold assembly 4 includes a right mold base 41 and a right mold 45.

[0046] Briefly describe its demolding process:
[0047] During demolding, the right mounting base 2 and the right mold assembly 4 move to the right, and the left mounting base 1 and the left mold assembly 3 move to the left, so that the right mold base 41 and the right mold 45 are separated from the left mold 32. There is no east or west limit on the right side of the knob. At this time, the cylinder moves to push the push plate to the right along the guide rod 13, and the ejector pin moves to the right, pushing the knob off the mold core 33 and detaching it from the mold core 33, thus completing the demolding.
[0048] The image shows a single mold for multiple openings, meaning that one mold can be used to injection mold two different models (different sizes and specifications) of knob 81 and knob 82, which saves the cost of a set of molds.
[0049] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments.
