[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a two-color mold rotating device includes a base 11, a turntable 12, and a front mold fixing plate 15. Two rear molds 13 are symmetrically fixed at the upper end of the turntable 12, and two front molds 14 are symmetrically fixed at the lower end of the front mold fixing plate 15. The rear molds 13 and the front molds 14 are positioned corresponding to each other. The base 11 has a rotating groove 22 at its upper end, and a support rod 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the turntable 12. The support rod 26 is located inside the rotating groove 22, and a spring groove 28 is opened at the bottom of the support rod 26. A sliding limit block 30 is slidably installed inside the spring groove 28, and the sliding limit block 30 extends to the outside of the spring groove 28 and is fixedly connected to a connecting block 31. The inner wall of the rotating groove 22 is provided with an installation groove 23; It also includes a rotating structure, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the base 11 and is used to drive the turntable 12 to rotate; A shock-absorbing structure is provided inside the spring groove 28 to reduce noise; A locking structure is provided inside the mounting groove 23 and on the outer wall of the support rod 26 for locking the turntable 12.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rear mold 13 is first bonded to the front mold 14, and then the injection molding process can be carried out (the first color material is injected into the cavity of one of the rear molds 13, and no material is injected into the other rear mold 13), and then the rear mold 13 and the front mold 14 are separated. Then, the turntable 12 is rotated by the rotating structure, thereby exchanging the positions of the two rear molds 13; During the rotation of turntable 12, the damping structure in spring groove 28 can absorb some vibration and impact, reducing the impact of noise and vibration on the mold; After rotation is complete, the turntable 12 is locked by the locking structure; Then, continue to close the rear mold 13 with the front mold 14 and start injection molding. Inject the material of the second color into the cavity of the rear mold 13, and inject the material of the first color into the other rear mold 14, and so on.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 — Figure 3 As shown, the rotating structure includes a rotating shaft 18, which is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of the base 11. A driven gear 19 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 18. The driven gear 19 meshes with and connects to a drive assembly. The drive assembly is mounted in the inner cavity of the base 11. A through hole is provided at the upper end of the base 11. The upper end of the rotating shaft 18 extends through the through hole to the upper end of the base 11 and is fixedly mounted with a coupling 21. The upper end of the coupling 21 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom end of the turntable 12.

[0026] Gear 19 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of rotating shaft 18 and meshes with gears in the drive assembly, thereby transmitting power from the drive assembly to rotating shaft 18. Coupling 21 is fixedly connected at its upper end to the middle of the bottom end of turntable 12 and at its lower end to the upper end of rotating shaft 18. It serves to connect rotating shaft 18 and turntable 12, transmitting the rotational motion of rotating shaft 18 to turntable 12.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 — Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly includes a rotary motor 16, which is installed in the inner cavity of the base 11. The output end of the rotary motor 16 is fixedly connected to the main gear 17, and the main gear 17 is meshed with the driven gear 19.

[0028] The drive assembly is powered by the rotating motor 16, and the power is transmitted to the turntable 12 through the meshing of the main gear 17 and the driven gear 19, so as to realize its rotational movement.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the damping structure includes a damping spring 29, which is installed inside a spring groove 28. A damper is sleeved inside the damping spring 29. The upper end of the damping spring 29 and the damper are fixedly connected to the top of the spring groove 28. The lower end of the damping spring 29 and the damper are fixedly connected to a sliding limit block 30.

[0030] The damping spring 29 and the damper together constitute an effective vibration reduction system. When the turntable 12 or the shaft 18 is subjected to impact or vibration during rotation, the damping spring 29 can absorb and mitigate these impacts and vibrations through its elastic deformation, thereby protecting the mold from damage. The vibration reduction structure makes the turntable 12 more stable during rotation by reducing vibration and impact. This helps improve the stability and accuracy of the two-color mold injection process, ensures the quality of the injection molded parts, and reduces the noise generated by the mold during operation, improving the working environment.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 — Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure includes an electric push rod 24 and a lock hole 27. The electric push rod 24 is installed inside the mounting groove 23. A locking rod 25 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 24. The lock hole 27 is opened on the outer wall of the support rod 26. The locking rod 25 matches the lock hole 27.

[0032] When it is necessary to lock the turntable 12, the electric push rod 24 drives the locking rod 25 to extend and insert into the locking hole 27 on the outer wall of the support rod 26. The matching of the locking rod 25 and the locking hole 27 realizes the locking of the turntable 12, preventing it from moving or rotating accidentally when not subjected to external force.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a ball bearing 33 is installed at the bottom of the rotating groove 22. The ball bearing 33 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the base block 32. A connecting block 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base block 32.

[0034] A ball bearing 33 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the base block 32. The ball bearing 33 is rolled in the bottom of the rotating groove 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the turntable 12 during rotation. In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 — Figure 3 As shown, the coupling 21 is a flexible coupling.

[0035] Flexible couplings can effectively absorb and mitigate vibrations and impacts generated during rotation through their internal elastic elements, thereby reducing damage to the mold and improving the stability of the injection molding process.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 — Figure 3As shown, a bearing 20 is embedded inside the through hole, and the rotating shaft 18 is inserted and fixed to the inner ring of the bearing 20.

[0037] Due to the low friction characteristics of bearing 20, shaft 18 can maintain high stability during rotation. This stability helps to reduce noise and vibration transmission caused by vibration and impact, and improve the overall operating quality of the mold.

[0038] The above embodiment discloses a two-color mold rotating device, wherein the rear mold 13 is first attached to the front mold 14, and then the injection molding operation can be carried out (the first color material is injected into the cavity of one of the rear molds 13, and no material is injected into the other rear mold 13), and the rear mold 13 and the front mold 14 are separated. Then, the rotating motor 16 is started, which drives the main gear 17 to rotate.

[0039] The main gear 17 meshes with the driven gear 19, transmitting power to the rotating shaft 18.

[0040] The rotating shaft 18 drives the turntable 12 to rotate through the coupling 21, thereby realizing the position swapping of the two rear molds 13.

[0041] During rotation, the damping spring 29 and damper in the shock absorption structure absorb and mitigate the vibration and impact generated by rotation, reducing the impact of noise and vibration on the mold.

[0042] Once turntable 12 rotates to the designated position, the locking mechanism is activated.

[0043] The electric push rod 24 drives the locking rod 25 to extend, and the locking rod 25 is inserted into the locking hole 27 on the outer wall of the support rod 26 to lock the turntable 12.

[0044] Once locked, the turntable 12 will not move or rotate unexpectedly when not subjected to external force.

[0045] The rear mold 13 and the front mold 14 are then joined together again.

[0046] Injection molding begins, with the second color material being injected into the cavity of the rear mold 13, while the remaining first color material from the first round is injected into the other rear mold 14.

[0047] Repeat the above process to achieve two-color injection molding.

[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
