Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of insert positioning, specifically to an insert positioning device with a preheating function. Background Technology

[0002] Mold inserts are widely used in the fields of plastic injection molding, die casting, and rubber vulcanization. Inserts are usually made of a different material than the mold core (such as wear-resistant alloy steel, beryllium copper, special ceramics, etc.) and are embedded in specific positions of the mold core. They are mainly used to form the fine structure of the product (such as threads, snaps, text, special surfaces), improve the local wear resistance of the mold, extend the mold life, or facilitate replacement and maintenance.

[0003] Before the mold is closed, the inserts need to be precisely positioned and securely fixed in the designated cavity of the mold core.

[0004] During the operation of specific embodiments, the inventors discovered the following defects:

[0005] The inserts are placed in an oven for overall heating. This method provides relatively uniform heating, but it is time-consuming (especially for large or thick-walled inserts) and requires additional oven equipment. During the process of removing the insert from the oven and positioning it in the mold, heat dissipates rapidly, particularly for small inserts, where the surface temperature drops significantly, making it difficult to accurately control the actual temperature upon placement in the mold. The process is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0006] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content
