[0002] Injection molding, as a highly efficient and mass-production process for plastic products, is widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, automobiles, medical devices, and other fields. Among the many injection-molded products, there are a large number of plastic parts that require the embedding of precision components such as metal terminals and inserts, such as connectors and plugs.

[0003] The traditional production process for this type of product usually involves two steps: first, using specialized equipment to press the terminals into the preset holes of the plastic part, and then placing the semi-finished product with the terminals installed into the injection molding machine for secondary injection molding and encapsulation; or first, the plastic part is injection molded, and then the terminals are inserted into the preset holes manually or by auxiliary equipment.

[0004] However, the aforementioned traditional production methods have obvious drawbacks: the step-by-step processing mode results in a long production process, large equipment footprint, and a large number of workers required, leading to low overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the flow of semi-finished products between processes can easily cause damage or contamination. In particular, the manual insertion of terminals is not only labor-intensive and requires high operator proficiency, but also suffers from poor consistency, low precision, and easy omissions or misalignments, directly affecting the electrical performance and assembly reliability of the products, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high precision, high efficiency, and high consistency.
