Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an injection mold for an automotive air filter cover. Background Technology

[0002] An air filter cover is a component of a car's air filter. It is usually detachably fixed to the opening of the air filter housing. Its function is to prevent dust and impurities from directly entering the interior of the air filter housing and invading the filter element, while also providing structural support to ensure stable use. To facilitate production and reduce costs, air filter covers are currently mostly made of plastic. Like other plastic parts, the production of air filter covers relies on matching injection molds and corresponding injection molding machines.

[0003] Because the air filter cover has multiple ribs inside to increase strength, the conventional method for molding these ribs in existing injection molds is to set a core block with grooves on the fixed mold core. However, the core block is a single piece, and the processing steps for the grooves are cumbersome, difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. In addition, once the core block is worn, the whole thing needs to be replaced, so the cost of use is high. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0022] The rear side of the active module 1 has a rectangular cavity 11 that cooperates with the end of the core block 6. The right inner wall of the rectangular cavity 11 has a positioning notch 17 that cooperates with the slider 81. The depth of the positioning notch 17 is greater than the depth of the rectangular cavity 11.

[0023] Each rectangular cavity 11 has a guide notch 13 on the right edge of its bottom surface. Correspondingly, each rectangular countersunk hole 61 has a guide groove 63 between the right edge of its opening and the right edge of the end face of the core block 6. The positions of the two guide notches 13 and the two guide grooves 63 are respectively matched. The two inserts 83 in the side core pulling assembly 8 are respectively movably embedded in the two guide grooves 63.

[0024] A first forming groove 831 is formed on the front edge of the end of each of the two insert blocks 83. Correspondingly, a second forming groove 16 is formed at the inner corner of the bottom surface of each of the two guide notch grooves 13. The two second forming grooves 16 cooperate with the two first forming grooves 831 respectively.

[0025] Two columnar protrusions 14 are formed on the bottom surface of the rectangular cavity 11 in the direction of the core block 6. The outer diameter and position of the two columnar protrusions 14 are respectively matched with the outer diameter and position of the circular countersunk holes 711 on the main forming blocks 71 in the two inner cavity forming modules 7.

[0026] Each columnar protrusion 14 also has a cross-shaped protrusion 15 formed outward from the center of its end.

[0027] On the bottom surface of the rectangular cavity 11, facing the core block 6, there are two symmetrically arranged ribs. The positions of the two ribs are respectively matched with the positions of the openings of the two rectangular countersunk holes 61. The ribs include multiple horizontally arranged ribs 12 distributed from top to bottom.

[0028] Working principle: The active module 1 and the back plate 4 are respectively installed on the action mechanism and the machine body of the injection molding machine. The action mechanism is operated to drive the active module 1 to move backward until the rear outer wall of the active module 1 and the front outer wall of the base module 2 are joined together (existing technology).

[0029] At this time, the end of the core block 6 is embedded in the rectangular cavity 11 on the active module 1 until the end face of the core block 6 is in contact with the bottom surface of the rectangular cavity 11, and the openings of the two guide notches 13 are respectively matched with the openings of the two guide grooves 63; during the movement, the active module 1 will also drive the guide rod 82 in the side core pulling assembly 8 to move synchronously, thereby forcing the slider 81 to move towards the core block 6, thereby driving the two insert blocks 83 to move to the left along the two guide grooves 63, until the openings of the first forming grooves 831 on the two insert blocks 83 are respectively matched with the openings of the two second forming grooves 16; at this time, the multiple protrusions 12 in each protrusion assembly are located inside the opening of a corresponding rectangular countersunk hole 61, and the two columnar protrusions 14 are respectively concentrically inserted into the circular countersunk holes 711 on the main forming blocks 71 in the two inner cavity forming modules 7.

[0030] Subsequently, the molten material enters the interior of each rectangular countersunk hole 61 and between each rectangular through hole 62 and a corresponding inner cavity forming module 7 through the gate provided in the end plate 3 and the runner provided in the active module 1. After cooling, two air filter covers are formed (existing technology).

[0031] Molten material is also contained between each second notch 731 and a first notch 713 or a third notch 721, between each first notch 713 and a third notch 721, and between each core strip 74 and the corresponding inner wall of the rectangular slot 712. After the molten material cools, it will form multiple ribs inside the air filter cover. A concave hole will be formed between each columnar boss 14 and the circular countersunk hole 711 on the main forming block 71 in the corresponding inner cavity forming module 7.

[0032] Then, the active module 1 is driven forward by the action mechanism to move away from the base module 2. Similarly, the rectangular cavity 11 is driven to separate from the end of the core block 6. At the same time, the guide rod 82 is driven to move synchronously to force the slider 81 and the two insert blocks 83 to move back to their original positions. Finally, the two air filter covers after forming are pushed forward by the ejector assembly 5 (existing technology).

[0033] This invention utilizes an inner cavity forming module 7 to form multiple ribs. However, unlike the integral core blocks on the market, the inner cavity forming module 7 is composed of a main forming block 71, a secondary forming block 72, and two side forming blocks 73. The groove structure for forming the ribs is formed by combining half notches on the main forming block 71, the secondary forming block 72, and the two side forming blocks 73. This simplifies the processing steps, reduces processing difficulty, and achieves time and labor saving. Furthermore, if the inner cavity forming module 7 is worn, only the main forming block 71, the secondary forming block 72, or the side forming block 73 needs to be replaced, without the need for a complete replacement, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
