Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sprue treatment technology, specifically a sprue concealment structure for vacuum-plated buttons. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum-plated buttons are buttons that have a metallic or non-metallic thin film deposited on their surface using vacuum coating technology, resulting in a metallic texture, high gloss, and excellent physical properties.

[0003] Buttons are mostly manufactured through injection molding. After injection molding, some material inevitably remains at the injection port. This material is called the sprue and needs to be cut off. Otherwise, it will affect the normal installation and use of the button. Some people choose to use utility knives or other knives to cut off the sprue. However, when cutting with a knife by hand, the blade is easy to deviate and cause hand cuts, which poses a significant safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a hidden sprue structure for vacuum-plated buttons. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0011] Preferably, a guide groove is provided in the middle of the blade holder, and a protective sleeve is slidably installed in the middle of the guide groove. With the above structure, the blade can be covered after the device is used, reducing the possibility of the blade being exposed and scratching objects.

[0012] Preferably, multiple turntables are installed on the side wall of the fixed frame, and the grinding blocks fixed to the side wall of the multiple turntables are of different grit. With the above structure, grinding blocks of different grit can be used to grind the key gate in sequence, thereby improving the grinding effect and the concealment effect of the gate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The present invention discloses a hidden structure for cutting the sprue of a vacuum-plated button.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a concealed sprue structure for a vacuum-plated button, comprising a base plate 1, a knife holder 12 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a blade 13 mounted in the middle of the knife holder 12, a groove 14 formed in the middle of the base plate 1, a carrier 15 slidably connected to the middle of the groove 14, and a fixing mechanism mounted on the top of the carrier 15. The carrier 15 and the blade 13 are arranged parallel to each other. During operation, the button with the sprue is placed on the carrier 15 and the position of the button is adjusted so that the sprue is on the cutting line below the blade 13. Then, the button is used... The fixing mechanism secures the button, and then the sliding carrier 15 moves the button along a straight line parallel to the cutting line of the blade 13. During the movement of the button, the sprue gradually contacts the bottom edge of the inclined blade 13 and is cut off. Since the movement path of the button and the cutting edge of the blade 13 are relatively parallel, it is difficult for the finger to contact the cutting edge of the blade 13. Through the above structure, the sprue on the button can be cut, and the finger will not easily contact the blade 13 when cutting the sprue, thereby reducing the occurrence of finger and hand cuts.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing plate 2 with a gradually varying thickness. The fixing plate 2 is fixed to the side wall of the shelf 15. A pressure plate 21 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixing plate 2 away from the shelf 15. Multiple grooves 22 are provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 2 and the top of the pressure plate 21. A limiting component is fitted in the middle of the fixing plate 2 and the pressure plate 21. The limiting component includes a pair of connecting rods 23 and a pair of rollers 24. The pair of rollers 24 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the pair of connecting rods 23. During operation, after the button is placed on the shelf 15, the pressure plate 21 is rotated to press down. On the button, a pair of rollers 24 are dragged and the pressure plate 21 is pressed tightly against the button by the convergence of the rollers 24. After the rollers 24 have moved, they are stuck into the corresponding grooves 22 and are difficult to move, so that the pressure plate 21 keeps pressing the button. Then the button can be moved by hand by operating the fixed plate 2 and the part of the pressure plate 21 away from the blade 13. With the above structure, it is not necessary to use fingers to support and fix the button, and the operating fingers are kept away from the blade 13, further reducing the occurrence of hand cuts by the blade 13 and improving the safety of the device.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the middle of the pressure plate 21, and a lever 31 is fixedly connected to the middle of the turntable 3. A support platform 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the shelf 15. During operation, if the angle of the button is incorrect after pressing the button with the pressure plate 21, causing the sprue to deviate from the cutting line of the blade 13, the lever 31 can be moved to rotate the turntable 3 and the pressed button, thereby adjusting the position of the sprue. Through the above structure, the angle of the sprue on the button can still be adjusted after the button is pressed and fixed with the pressure plate 21, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a motor 41 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 4, and a turntable 42 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 4. A transmission belt 43 is provided between the output end of the motor 41 and the middle of the turntable 42. A grinding block 44 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the turntable 42. After the sprue on the button is cut off, some cutting residue may remain. At this time, the button can be removed, and the motor 41 can be started to drive the turntable 42 and the grinding block 44 to rotate through the transmission belt 43. Then, the button is brought close to the rotating grinding block 44, and the cutting residue at the sprue of the button is ground and removed by the grinding block 44, so that the sprue marks are difficult to see on the button after grinding, thus hiding the sprue. With the above structure, after the sprue is cut, the remaining part after cutting can be ground and removed, making the surface of the button smooth and hiding the sprue.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, a connecting frame 5 is detachably installed in the middle of the tool holder 12, and the blade 13 is detachably installed on the side wall of the connecting frame 5. The end of the connecting frame 5 has a hole, and the end of the tool holder 12 is threadedly connected to a limit bolt 51. During operation, after a period of use, the cutting edge of the blade 13 is prone to becoming dull. At this time, the limit bolt 51 can be rotated to release the fixing of the connecting frame 5. Then the connecting frame 5 and the blade 13 can be removed to grind the cutting edge of the blade 13 to restore its sharpness. Alternatively, the blade 13 can be removed from the connecting frame 5 and replaced with a new, sharp blade 13. Through the above structure, the blade 13 can be easily disassembled, thereby facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the blade 13 and improving the ease of use of the device.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a guide groove 6 is provided in the middle of the tool holder 12, and a protective sleeve 61 is slidably installed in the middle of the guide groove 6. After the device is used, the protective sleeve 61 can be slidably installed in the middle of the tool holder 12 along the guide groove 6 to cover the blade 13. Through the above structure, the blade 13 can be covered after the device is used, reducing the possibility of the blade 13 being exposed and scratching objects.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, multiple turntables 42 are installed on the side wall of the fixed frame 4. The polishing blocks 44 fixed on the side wall of the multiple turntables 42 are all of different grit. With the above structure, the key gate can be polished in sequence by polishing blocks 44 of different grit, thereby improving the polishing effect and the concealment effect of the gate.

[0032] During operation, place the button with the sprue on the carrier 15 and adjust its position so that the sprue is on the cutting line below the blade 13. Then, use the fixing mechanism to fix it. Next, slide the carrier 15 to move the button along a straight line parallel to the cutting line of the blade 13. During the button's movement, the sprue gradually contacts and is cut off by the inclined bottom edge of the blade 13. Because the button's movement path is relatively parallel to the blade edge of the blade 13, it is difficult for the finger to contact the blade edge. After placing the button on the carrier 15, rotate the pressure plate 21 to press it onto the button. Then, drag a pair of rollers 24, and the converging of the rollers 24 will make the pressure plate 21 press tightly onto the button. After the rollers 24 have moved, they sink into the corresponding grooves 22, making them difficult to move further, thus maintaining the pressure of the pressure plate 21 on the button. Then, the button can be moved by hand by operating the part of the fixing plate 2 and the pressure plate 21 away from the blade 13. After pressing the button with the pressure plate 21, if the button angle is incorrect, the sprue will not be properly positioned. When the nozzle deviates from the cutting line of blade 13, the dial plate 31 can be moved to rotate the turntable 3 and the pressed button, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle. After the nozzle on the button is removed, some cutting residue may remain. At this time, the button can be removed, and the motor 41 can be started to drive the turntable 42 and the grinding block 44 to rotate via the transmission belt 43. Then, the button can be brought close to the rotating grinding block 44, and the cutting residue at the nozzle of the button can be ground and removed by the grinding block 44, making it difficult to see the nozzle marks on the button after grinding. To achieve concealment of the sprue, after a period of use, the cutting edge of the blade 13 may become dull. At this time, the limiting bolt 51 can be rotated to release the fixing of the connecting frame 5. Then the connecting frame 5 and the blade 13 can be removed and the cutting edge of the blade 13 can be ground to restore the sharpness of the blade 13. Alternatively, the blade 13 can be removed from the connecting frame 5 and replaced with a new, sharp blade 13. After the device is used up, the protective sleeve 61 can be slid along the guide groove 6 and installed in the middle of the blade holder 12 to cover the blade 13.
