Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, specifically to a connector dotting mold. Background Technology
[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, the sealing performance of connectors is crucial for ensuring the normal operation and reliability of electronic devices. A good seal not only prevents the intrusion of dust and moisture but also protects internal circuitry from external environmental influences to a certain extent. Currently, the main methods for achieving connector sealing include using dotted grooves on the connector surface for interlocking. This allows the shell to seal the connector to a certain degree. However, the assembly of the shell and connector requires a snap-fit connection, necessitating dotting on the connector surface to form these grooves for the plastic parts to engage. In related technologies, since connectors are typically cylindrical, individually dotting multiple grooves during the dotting process affects the accuracy and consistency of the dotting, resulting in low dotting efficiency and hindering production efficiency improvements.

[0030] The connector dotting mold of this utility model embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the connector dotting mold provided by this utility model includes: a first dotting component 10 and a second dotting component 20. The first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 are symmetrically arranged with each other. The first dotting component includes a movable base 14, and the second dotting component includes a base 24. The movable base 14 and the base 24 can be driven to separate from each other or move closer to each other. The first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 each include a plurality of dotting elements 30. The first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 can move closer to each other to form a receiving space 60. The plurality of dotting elements 30 are arranged at intervals around the center of the receiving space 60. When the first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 are driven to move closer to each other, the plurality of dotting elements 30 move together toward the center of the installation space.
[0032] The moving seat 14 and / or the base 24 can be driven simultaneously by a cylinder so that the first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 can be separated from each other or brought closer together. When the first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 are brought closer together to form a receiving space 60, the receiving space 60 can be formed into a hexagonal structure. Thus, the connector 40 can be placed in the receiving space 60 by manual means or other methods, and the first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 can be driven to bring closer together so that multiple dotting elements 30 can be synchronously pressed against the circumferential surface of the connector 40, thereby completing the dotting operation on the connector 40.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first dotting assembly 10 includes: a first pushing block 11, a second pushing block 12, and a third pushing block 13. The second pushing block 12 is disposed between the first pushing block 11 and the third pushing block 13, and the first pushing block 11, the second pushing block 12, and the third pushing block 13 can slide relative to each other. Further, the second dotting assembly 20 includes: a first pushing seat 21, a second pushing seat 22, and a third pushing seat 23. The second pushing seat 22 is disposed between the first pushing seat 21 and the third pushing seat 23, and the first pushing seat 21, the second pushing seat 22, and the third pushing seat 23 can slide relative to each other.
[0034] In a specific embodiment of this application, the first push block 11, the second push block 12, and the third push block 13 can be fixed by a movable seat, and the movable seat can be driven to rise and fall by a cylinder or the like. The first push block 11 and the second push block 12 can slide elastically within the movable seat 14 through an elastic member 50. The first push seat 21, the second push seat 22, and the third push seat 23 can be fixed by a base, and the first push seat 21 and the second push seat 22 can also slide elastically within the base 24 through an elastic member 50.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The arrows indicate the moving directions of the first pushing block 11, the second pushing block 12, the first pushing seat 21, and the second pushing seat 22. When the first pushing block 11, the second pushing block 12, and the third pushing block 13 move toward the first pushing seat 21, the second pushing seat 22, and the third pushing seat 23, they push against the first pushing block 11 through the first pushing surface 131 on the third pushing seat 23 to form an elastic sliding, so that a relative sliding is formed between the first pushing surface 131 and the first pushing block 11. During continuous pushing, the first pushing block 11 forces the area of the first pushing surface 131 to shrink and decrease; because the first pushing block 11 has The first push block 12 has a first guide surface 111 that contacts the second push block 12, so that the first push block 11 pushes and guides the second push block 12 through the first guide surface 111, so that the area of the first guide surface 111 is reduced by the second push block 12; at the same time, the second push block 12 has a first abutting surface 121 that contacts the third push block 13, so that when the second push block 12 slides elastically, the first abutting surface 121 abuts against the third push block 13, so that the third push block 13 and the second push block 12 form relative motion, and the area of the first abutting surface 121 is reduced by the third push block 13.
[0036] Furthermore, the second pushing surface 231 on the third pushing block 13 pushes against the first pushing seat 21 to form an elastic sliding, so that the first pushing surface 131 and the first pushing seat 21 can form a relative sliding, and when continuously pushed, the first pushing seat 21 forces the area of the second pushing surface 231 to shrink and decrease; since the first pushing seat 21 has a second guiding surface 211 that contacts the second pushing seat 22, the first pushing seat 21 pushes and guides the second pushing seat 22 through its second guiding surface 211, so that the second pushing seat 22 forces the area of the second guiding surface 211 to shrink and decrease; at the same time, the second pushing seat 22 has a second abutting surface 221 that contacts the third pushing seat 23, so that when the second pushing seat 22 slides elastically, since the second abutting surface 221 abuts against the third pushing seat 23, the third pushing seat 23 and the second pushing block 12 form a relative movement, and then the area of the second abutting surface 221 is forced to shrink and decrease through the third pushing seat 23.
[0037] Understandably, after the first and second dotting components 20 approach each other, the first push block 11 and the third push seat 23 come into contact, and the first push seat 21 and the third push block 13 come into contact. As the moving seat 14 and the base 24 continue to approach each other, the first guide surface 111, the second guide surface 211, the first abutting surface 121, the second abutting surface 221, the first pushing surface 131, and the second pushing surface 231 sequentially enclose each other to form a closed ring, and the included angle between two adjacent surfaces is 120 degrees, thus forming a hexagonal enclosure. The receiving space 60 allows the connector that needs to be marked to be placed inside. As the first marking component and the second marking component 20 continuously approach each other, the areas of the first guide surface 111, the second guide surface 211, the first abutting surface 121, the second abutting surface 221, the first pushing surface 131, and the second pushing surface 231 also shrink synchronously, causing the receiving space 60 to continuously shrink as well. This allows multiple marking components that are continuously approaching each other to complete the marking operation on the connector. The marking operation can be completed in one go, which is more efficient and has better consistency.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 As shown, threaded holes are provided on the first push block 11, the second push block 12, the third push block 13, the first push seat 21, the second push seat 22 and the third push seat 23, and the dotting component 30 is threaded into the threaded hole.
[0039] In a specific embodiment of this application, the dotting element 30 can be threaded within the threaded hole, making the distance between the dotting element 30 and the receiving space 60 adjustable. When it is necessary to drill grooves of different depths into the surface of the connector 40, the distance of the dotting element 30 can be adjusted. For example, when a deeper groove is required, the distance of the dotting element 30 extending beyond the receiving space 60 is longer; when a shallower groove is required, the distance of the dotting element 30 extending beyond the receiving space 60 is shorter. Thus, it can be adjusted for different dotting requirements and is suitable for different connectors. The marking requirement of 40; it can be understood that multiple marking elements 30 protrude from the first guide surface 111, the first abutting surface 121, the second guide surface 211, the second abutting surface 221, the first pushing surface 131 and the second pushing surface 231 respectively, and the central axis of each marking element 30 is perpendicular to the plane on which it is located, and two opposite marking elements 30 are on the same axis, so that the marking elements 30 can synchronously complete the marking operation around the circumference of the connector 40 during the marking process, ensuring higher marking efficiency and accuracy.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the dotting component 30 has a tapered portion 31 that protrudes from the receiving space 60. The apex of the tapered portion 31 can abut against the circumferential surface of the connector 40 to apply pressure, causing the circumferential surface of the connector 40 to recess and form a groove for fastening with a plastic part. Optionally, the apex of the tapered portion 31 is configured as a dotting surface 311 with a diameter of 0.1-0.3 mm. The dotting surface 311 is a circular plane, ensuring more stable contact and more accurate dotting when it abuts against the circumferential surface of the connector 40. Optionally, the apex angle of the tapered portion 31 is 50-130 degrees. For example, the apex angle of the tapered portion 31 can be 90 degrees. The apex angle can be set according to actual needs to adapt to the dotting requirements of different connectors 40, and no limitation is made here.
[0041] The connector dotting mold provided by this utility model can place the connector 40 that needs to be dotted in the receiving space 60, and simultaneously drive the first dotting component 10 and the second dotting component 20 to move closer to each other, so that multiple dotting components 30 can move towards the receiving space 60 at the same time. Thus, the dotting operation can be completed on the periphery of the connector 40 simultaneously by multiple dotting components 30, avoiding the deviation of the dotting operation, improving the accuracy and consistency of dotting, and increasing the dotting efficiency and production efficiency.
