[0007] Preferably, the skeleton is provided with a plurality of through holes for reducing adhesive.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the amount of glue used in the injection molding of the skeleton can be reduced, thereby reducing shrinkage and deformation caused by excessive glue, ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the skeleton, and reducing the weight of the skeleton, which is beneficial to optimizing the performance of the overall structure.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning filler rib is provided inside the reducing hole corresponding to the position of the PIN pin. The positioning filler rib is located on the side of the PIN pin, and the positioning filler rib and the skeleton are integrally injection molded.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0025] Example 1: Integrated injection-molded structure of the pin and frame for the upper housing of an automotive headlight motor. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The system includes an upper shell 1, a frame 2, and PIN pins 3. The frame 2 encapsulates the PIN pins 3 with plastic, and the frame 2 is integrally injection molded. The upper shell 1 encapsulates the integrally injection molded frame 2 and its internally encapsulated PIN pins 3 with plastic, and the upper shell 1 is integrally injection molded. The upper shell 1, frame 2, and PIN pins 3 are integrally injection molded twice, making the connection between the three more compact and firm, effectively improving the reliability of the overall structure, reducing gaps in the assembly process, enhancing sealing, and thus improving the durability of the automotive headlight motor in complex environments.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The skeleton 2 is provided with multiple through holes 4. The through holes 4 can reduce the amount of glue during the injection molding of the skeleton 2, reduce shrinkage and deformation caused by excessive glue, ensure the dimensional accuracy of the skeleton 2, and reduce the weight of the skeleton 2, which is conducive to optimizing the performance of the overall structure.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The PIN pin 3 is positioned inside the reducing hole 4 with a positioning filling rib 5. The positioning filling rib 5 is located on the side of the PIN pin 3 and is integrally injection molded with the skeleton 2. The positioning filling rib 5 can further position and fix the PIN pin 3, prevent the cavity corresponding to the reducing hole 4 from affecting the stability of the PIN pin 3, avoid the PIN pin 3 from shifting or shaking during the injection molding of the skeleton 2 and subsequent use, ensure the positional accuracy of the PIN pin 3, and improve the stability of the structure.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 A positioning waistline 6 is provided on the outer surface of the middle part of the skeleton 2. The positioning waistline 6 is integrally injection molded with the skeleton 2. When the skeleton 2 and the upper shell 1 are subjected to secondary injection molding, the positioning waistline 6 can play a positioning and limiting role, ensuring that the skeleton 2 is accurately positioned inside the upper shell 1, avoiding displacement of the skeleton 2, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of the overall structure.

[0029] Please see Figure 6 An extension positioning block 7 is provided inside the upper shell 1, close to the skeleton 2, at the position corresponding to the glue reduction hole 4. The extension positioning block 7 is integrally injection molded with the upper shell 1. The extension positioning block 7 extends into the glue reduction hole 4, further strengthening the connection between the upper shell 1 and the skeleton 2, making the two more tightly combined, improving the impact resistance and stability of the overall structure, and enhancing the sealing performance.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6The upper shell 1 is provided with multiple glue reduction grooves 8 at the position corresponding to the glue reduction hole 4. The glue reduction grooves 8 do not penetrate the upper shell 1 to the skeleton 2. The glue reduction grooves 8 can reduce the amount of glue at the position corresponding to the extension positioning block 7 of the upper shell 1, reduce the shrinkage stress of the upper shell 1 during injection molding, avoid defects such as cracking of the upper shell 1, ensure the structural integrity of the upper shell 1, and at the same time reduce the weight of the upper shell 1.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 The upper shell 1 forms a reinforcing rib 9 through the setting of multiple adjacent glue reduction grooves 8. The reinforcing rib 9 and the upper shell 1 are integrally injection molded. The reinforcing rib 9 can effectively improve the structural strength and rigidity of the upper shell 1 while reducing the amount of glue and weight, enhance the deformation resistance of the upper shell 1, and ensure the stability and reliability of the upper shell 1 during use.

[0032] Example 2: Integrated injection-molded structure of the pin and frame for the upper housing of an automotive headlight motor. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The PIN pin 3 is bent, and the bend of the PIN pin 3 is located inside the frame 2. The openings at both ends of the frame 2 are aligned with the orientation of the two ends of the PIN pin 3. The PIN pin 3 and the frame 2 are bent and located inside the upper shell 1. The orientation of the electrical input and output terminals of the upper shell 1 is aligned with the orientation of the two ends of the PIN pin 3. The bent PIN pin 3, together with the frame 2 and the upper shell 1, can further improve the tightness of the connection between the PIN pin 3, the frame 2 and the upper shell 1, and prevent the connection between the PIN pin 3, the frame 2 and the upper shell 1 from loosening during the insertion and removal of the PIN pin 3 and the plug. This further improves the stability and tightness between the PIN pin 3, the frame 2 and the upper shell 1. At the same time, the bent PIN pin 3 allows for a reasonable layout within a limited space.

[0033] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The PIN pin 3 is precisely placed in the mold, and the skeleton 2 that wraps the PIN pin 3 is formed by injection molding. The skeleton 2 wraps the PIN pin 3 and is integrally formed. During this process, the glue reduction hole 4 reduces the local glue thickness of the skeleton 2, avoiding problems such as incomplete filling or missing glue due to excessive local glue thickness and high glue flow resistance. At the same time, it avoids uneven cooling and shrinkage of the glue, resulting in shrinkage marks on the surface. During the injection molding process, the skeleton 2 forms a positioning filling rib 5 in the glue reduction hole 4 to clamp and fix the PIN pin 3, improving the stability of the PIN pin 3 inside the skeleton 2. The positioning waistline 6 is formed simultaneously during the injection molding process of the skeleton 2, providing a stable connection node for the subsequent encapsulation of the skeleton 2 by the outer shell 1. Then, the second injection molding is carried out. The skeleton 2 is placed into the injection mold of the upper shell 1, and the upper shell 1 that wraps the skeleton 2 and the PIN pin 3 is formed by injection molding. During the injection molding process of the upper shell 1, the glue extends into the glue reduction hole 4 to form an extension positioning block 7, which makes the extension positioning block 7 extends into the reducing hole 4 and fits into the skeleton 2 to enhance connection and sealing. The reducing groove 8 reduces the amount of glue and avoids problems such as incomplete filling and missing glue due to excessive local glue thickness during the injection molding of the upper shell 1, which leads to high flow resistance of the glue. At the same time, it avoids uneven cooling and shrinkage of the glue, resulting in shrinkage marks on the surface. During the injection molding process, a reinforcing rib 9 will be formed between adjacent reducing grooves 8 of the upper shell 1 to improve the strength of the upper shell 1 and prevent the setting of the reducing groove 8 from affecting the strength of the outer shell 1. The bent PIN pin 3, together with the skeleton 2 and the upper shell 1, can further improve the tightness of the connection between the PIN pin 3, the skeleton 2 and the upper shell 1, and prevent the connection between the PIN pin 3, the skeleton 2 and the upper shell 1 from loosening during the insertion and removal of the PIN pin 3 and the plug. This further improves the stability and tightness between the PIN pin 3, the skeleton 2 and the upper shell 1. At the same time, the bent PIN pin 3 allows for a reasonable layout in a limited space. The overall structure is formed through two integral injection moldings and the cooperation of various components.
