Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, and in particular to a die for forming a needle roller retainer. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling bearings generally consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, multiple rolling elements, and a cage. The main function of the cage is to separate the rolling elements at equal intervals. The cage evenly separates the rolling elements in the bearing, allowing each rolling element to roll normally between the inner and outer rings. In addition, the cage guides the movement of the rolling elements, improves the internal lubrication conditions of the bearing, and prevents the rolling elements from falling off. In the production process of needle roller cages, plastic cages are generally injection molded using molds.

[0003] A document with publication number CN221292183U discloses a die for forming needle roller cages, including a base. Support frames are fixedly connected to both outer surfaces of the base. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the support frames. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the fixing plate. An upper template is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the cylinder, which passes through the lower outer surface of the fixing plate. An injection hole is provided on the upper outer surface of the upper template. A cooling assembly is provided on one outer surface of the support frames. A lower die is detachably connected to the upper outer surface of the base. A mounting and fixing assembly is provided between the lower die and the base. This die for forming needle roller cages, through its cooling assembly, can improve the cooling speed of the die and increase the efficiency of the needle roller cage cooling and forming. The mounting and fixing assembly facilitates the disassembly of the die for maintenance or cleaning.

[0004] However, the mold uses air cooling to cool it down, which is not very efficient.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a die for forming a needle roller cage to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments. Example

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the roller retainer molding die provided by this utility model includes: a base plate 1, a lower mold 2 and a mounting frame 3 installed on the base plate 1, an upper mold 4 arranged below the mounting frame 3, an electric push rod 5 installed on the mounting frame 3, the bottom end (output end) of the electric push rod 5 being fixedly connected to the upper mold 4, the upper mold 4 being driven to descend and close with the lower mold 2 by the electric push rod 5, an injection hole being opened on the upper mold 4, and an avoidance hole being opened on the mounting frame 3, the avoidance hole being arranged above the injection hole for connecting the injection pipeline. To cool the mold, an air-cooling mechanism and a water-cooling mechanism are installed above the base plate 1. The air-cooling mechanism includes two cooling fans 6 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the mounting bracket 3. The two cooling fans 6 blow air towards the mold (lower mold 2 and upper mold 4) to dissipate heat. The water-cooling mechanism includes an inlet pipe 7, an outlet pipe 8, and a cooling pipe 9 (the inlet pipe 7 should be connected to a cooling pump, which is connected to a low-temperature coolant storage tank or other equipment). The cooling pipe 9 passes through the lower mold 2. Low-temperature coolant is pumped in through the inlet pipe 7, passes through the cooling pipe 9, and is discharged from the outlet pipe 8, which lowers the temperature of the cooling pipe 9. The cooling pipe 9 exchanges heat with the lower mold 2, cooling the lower mold 2. This allows the injection-molded needle roller retainer in the lower mold 2 to cool down more quickly, improving the product molding speed / efficiency.

[0019] By setting up air-cooling and water-cooling mechanisms, the cooling fan 6 increases the airflow rate on the mold surface to cool and dissipate heat, while the low-temperature coolant passes through the mold to cool and dissipate heat inside the mold. The two work together to effectively improve product molding efficiency. Example

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, a cavity 10 is opened on the lower mold 2, and a protrusion adapted to the cavity 10 is provided at the bottom of the upper mold 4. The protrusion is inserted into the cavity 10 to form an injection cavity. Molding is injected into the injection cavity, and after cooling, a product (needle roller retainer) is formed.

[0021] By opening a cavity 10 on the lower mold 2, the injection molding of the product can be facilitated. Example

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a guide column 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper mold 4. The guide column 11 passes through the mounting frame 3 and is slidably connected to the mounting frame 3. When the upper mold 4 is raised or lowered, the guide column 11 is raised or lowered accordingly, thereby improving the raising and lowering stability of the upper mold 4.

[0023] By fixing and installing guide posts 11 on the top of the upper mold 4, the lifting stability of the upper mold 4 can be improved. Example

[0024] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower mold 2 adopts a split design. The lower mold 2 includes a bottom mold 12 fixed on the base plate 1 and a moving mold 13 slidably connected to the bottom mold 12. The moving mold 13 is connected to a cylinder 17 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The bottom mold 12 and the moving mold 13 can be combined to form a cavity 10, or they can be separated by the cylinder 17. After the product is formed, it is convenient to remove the product (needle roller retainer) from the cavity 10. It is worth noting that the cooling pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom mold 12 and slidably connected to the moving mold 13. The cooling pipe 9 can guide the moving mold 13 and also cool the bottom mold 12 and the moving mold 13.

[0025] By setting a lower mold 2 that includes a bottom mold 12 and a moving mold 13, the product can be easily removed from the mold. Example

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, to improve the movement stability of the moving mold 13, two guide rods 14 are fixedly installed on one side of the bottom mold 12. The guide rods 14 pass through the moving mold 13 and are slidably connected to it. Limiting blocks 15 are installed at the ends of the guide rods 14 to prevent the moving mold 13 from falling off the guide rods 14. In use, the cylinder 17 drives the moving mold 13 to move along the axial direction of the guide rods 14, thereby improving the movement stability of the moving mold 13.

[0027] By installing two guide rods 14 on one side of the bottom mold 12, the movement stability of the moving mold 13 can be effectively improved. Example

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple positioning posts 16 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom mold 12, and corresponding positioning grooves are opened on the base plate 1. The positioning posts 16 are inserted into the positioning grooves to position the installation position of the bottom mold 12. Then, screws are used to fix the bottom mold 12 to the base plate 1, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the lower mold 2 and facilitating the installation of the lower mold 2.

[0029] By fixing multiple positioning posts 16 at the bottom of the bottom mold 12 and opening positioning grooves on the base plate 1, the installation accuracy of the lower mold 2 can be improved and the installation of the lower mold 2 can be facilitated.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the electric push rod 5 drives the upper mold 4 to descend and close with the lower mold 2. Injection is performed into the mold after the mold is closed through the injection hole on the upper mold 4. After injection is completed, the upper mold 4 rises, the cooling fan 6 starts, and blows air to cool the roller holder on the lower mold 2. At the same time, low-temperature coolant is pumped in through the inlet pipe 7, passes through the cooling pipe 9, and is discharged from the outlet pipe 8, which lowers the temperature of the cooling pipe 9. The cooling pipe 9 exchanges heat with the lower mold 2, cooling the lower mold 2. This allows the roller holder inside the lower mold 2 to cool down more quickly, improving the product molding speed. By using air cooling and water cooling to cool and dissipate heat from the mold, the product molding efficiency can be effectively improved.
