Therefore, the inventor optimizes the injection mold, which is beneficial to reduce the processing cycle when the first portion is injection molded.
[0080] Referring to FIGS. 22-30, the application also discloses a manufacturing mold 200 of the electric pump 100, the manufacturing mold 200 comprising a first injection mold 20, the first injection mold 20 comprising a first mold core part 201 and a runner plate part 205, the first mold core part 201 being used to define the pressure surface of the partial first twisted blade 1423, the first mold core part 201 comprising a plurality of first mold core parts 201, at least two first mold core parts 201 of the plurality of first mold core parts 201 being in sliding connection with the runner plate part 205, defining a first direction 101 and a second direction 1002, the first direction 101 being parallel to the height direction of the manufacturing mold 200, the second direction 1002 being perpendicular to the first direction, the runner plate part 205 being capable of moving along the first direction 101, when the runner plate part 205 moves along the first direction 101, the runner plate part 205 can drive the at least two first mold core parts 201 to move along the first direction 101 and the second direction 1002 at the same time. In this way, the at least two first mold core parts 201 move in linkage with the movement of the runner plate part 205, compared with the way of core pulling of the plurality of first mold core parts 201 separately, this is conducive to reducing the beat of manufacturing the electric pump. It should be noted that the first direction 101 is the direction in which the front mold 203 and the back mold 204 are separated below.
