[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold for forming gears, which improves the demolding efficiency of double gears and effectively prevents damage during the demolding process.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A mold for forming gears includes an upper mold structure and a lower mold structure. The upper mold structure includes an upper forming part and a plurality of forming protrusions protruding from the bottom of the upper forming part. The lower mold structure includes a base plate assembly, a fixed template assembly, and a lifting plate.

The helical gear forming part is used to form the helical teeth, and the straight gear forming part is used to form the straight teeth. The forming protrusions form the positioning holes and channels. After the double gear is injection molded, the upper mold structure is opened, and the lifting plate drives the ejector rod upwards. At this time, the upper end of the ejector rod pushes the double gear upwards, and the bearings drive the helical gear forming part to rotate relative to the double gear, allowing the helical teeth of the double gear to separate from the helical gear forming part and be demolded. Multiple bearings cooperate with each other. It can improve the smoothness and concentricity of the rotation of the helical gear forming part, which is conducive to improving the integrity of the demolding of the double gear. At the same time, the trigger switch senses the lifting plate and controls the motor to rotate. The motor drives the screw to engage with the threaded hole, so that the center hole forming part slides downward in the sliding hole, realizing the separation of the center hole forming part from the double gear, reducing the adhesion force between the double gear and the lower mold structure, thereby improving the smoothness of the ejector rod to lift the double gear upward and the demolding rate. It has the effect of improving the demolding efficiency of the double gear and effectively preventing damage during the demolding process of the double gear.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower bearings can simultaneously improve the rotational smoothness of the upper and lower ends of the helical gear forming part, facilitating the smooth demolding of the helical gear part of the double gear.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-detachment part can effectively prevent the helical tooth forming part from detaching from the rotating cavity of the lower mold structure.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the lower fixed template has a through hole corresponding to the screw, a wear-resistant lubricating sleeve is fixedly installed in the through hole, and the screw is movably inserted into the wear-resistant lubricating sleeve.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the wear-resistant lubricating sleeve can improve the smoothness of screw rotation.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a spring is provided inside the sliding hole, the spring is sleeved outside the screw, and one end of the spring elastically abuts against the bottom of the central hole forming part, while the other end of the spring elastically abuts against the lower fixed template.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mold is closed, the lifting plate moves down, and at this time the spring assists in pushing the central hole forming part to lift up and reset.
[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the screw includes a smooth rod portion near the lifting plate and a threaded engagement portion near the center hole forming part, wherein the threaded engagement portion is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning between the upper molded part and the center hole molded part is more accurate in the molded state, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and uniformity of the double gear injection molding.
[0021] A further feature of this invention is that the cross-sections of both the sliding hole and the center hole forming part are square, so that the center hole forming part and the sliding hole are in a non-rotational fit.

The bearing drives the helical gear forming part to rotate relative to the double gear, allowing the helical gear part of the double gear to separate from the helical gear forming part and be demolded. The cooperation of multiple bearings can improve the smoothness and concentricity of the rotation of the helical gear forming part, which is conducive to improving the integrity of the demolding of the double gear. At the same time, the trigger switch senses the lifting plate and controls the motor to rotate. The motor drives the screw to engage with the threaded hole, allowing the center hole forming part to slide downward in the sliding hole, realizing the separation of the center hole forming part from the double gear, reducing the adhesion force between the double gear and the lower mold structure, thereby improving the smoothness of the ejector rod lifting the double gear upward and the demolding speed. It has the effect of improving the demolding efficiency of the double gear and effectively preventing damage to the double gear during the demolding process. Attached Figure Description
