Injection molding method on semi-finished product
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an injection molding method, and more particularly to an injection molding method for injection molding a semi-finished product, which can prevent flash or burr from occurring on the semi-finished product, thereby increasing the yield of the finished product.
Background
Injection molding is mainly to form a molding space in a pair of molds, so as to inject a molding material into the molding space and form a finished product after cooling. The existing molding materials mainly used for injection molding generally comprise plastics, metal-plastic composite powder, silica gel and the like.
The molding materials are formed by heating the molding materials to form a liquid, injecting the liquid molding materials into the mold through an injection machine under high pressure, and cooling the molding materials to form a solid. When the molding materials are in liquid state, the fluidity of each molding material is mainly that silica gel is larger than plastic and that of metal-plastic composite powder.
Particularly, silica gel has a good fluidity, and when silica gel is used as the molding material, the mold clamping force of the mold is insufficient, so that the phenomenon of glue overflow or burrs is easily generated at the mold clamping position of the mold after the finished product is molded. Therefore, after the injection molding, the finished product needs to be trimmed by a large amount of manpower or material resources, which not only reduces the yield of the injection molding, but also consumes a lot of manpower cost, so that the production cost is greatly increased.
Therefore, how to provide a method capable of greatly reducing the phenomenon of glue overflow or burrs in the injection molding process is the problem to be solved by the scheme.

Detailed Description
The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings as follows:
referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for injection molding a semi-finished product, including a semi-finished product placing step S1, a semi-finished product pre-pressing step S2, and a molding step S3.
The step S1 of placing the semi-finished product is to provide a pair of molds 10 for being erected on an injection machine (not described herein) as shown in fig. 2, in which the pair of molds 10 includes a first mold base 11 and a second mold base 12, the first mold base 11 has a supporting portion 111 and an ejecting mechanism 112 therein, the supporting portion 111 is used for supporting a semi-finished product 20, the supporting portion 111 has a top surface 113 and a sidewall 114 annularly disposed on the top surface 113 and interconnected with the first mold base 11, the sidewall 114 is provided with at least one engaging protrusion 115 thereon, and the ejecting mechanism 112 is disposed in the supporting portion 111. The second mold base 12 has a pressing portion 121 therein, and a molding space 13 is formed inside the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12 after the first mold base and the second mold base are mutually molded, and the second mold base 12 has a runner 122 for a molding material 30 to flow through.
In the present embodiment, the semi-finished product 20 is made of a plastic material, and the molding material 30 is silicone. The semi-finished product 20 is disposed on the carrying portion 111 of the first mold base 11 by a robot (known in the art, not described herein), it should be noted that a set space 21 is formed on the semi-finished product 20, so that the semi-finished product 20 can be sleeved on the carrying portion 111, an engaging groove 22 engaged with the engaging protrusion 115 is formed at a position corresponding to the engaging protrusion 115 in the set space 21, and an outer surface 23 is formed outside the semi-finished product 20. When the semi-finished product 20 is sleeved on the carrying portion 111 by the robot arm, since the engaging protrusion 115 on the carrying portion 111 is protruded outside the sidewall 114, the semi-finished product 20 cannot be completely sleeved on the outside of the carrying portion 111, but is limited by the engaging protrusion 115 to be sleeved only on the front edge of the carrying portion 111.
In the step S2 of pre-pressing the semi-finished product, a pressing fixture 40 is provided, the pressing fixture 40 is disposed between the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12, and a pressing space 41 having the same shape as the semi-finished product 20 is provided in the pressing fixture 40, as shown in fig. 3. After the pressing fixture 40 is disposed inside the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12, the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12 are first closed to make the pressing space 41 sleeved outside the semi-finished product 20 by a pre-mold resultant force generated by the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12, and then the pressing fixture 40 drives the semi-finished product 20 to move toward the bottom of the first mold base 11 to make the engaging groove 22 and the engaging protrusion 115 generate an engaging effect, so that the semi-finished product 20 can be completely sleeved on the bearing portion 111 and generate a tight-fitting effect with the bearing portion 111, as shown in fig. 4.
In the molding step S3, a first mold opening is performed to separate the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12 from each other, as shown in fig. 5, the pressing fixture 40 is taken out, then the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12 are closed for a second time, and the molding material 30 is injected into the molding space 13 through the runner 122 to cover the molding material 30 outside the semi-finished product 20, as shown in fig. 6. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when performing the second mold closing, the pressing portion 121 on the second mold base 12 will press against the outer surface 23 of the semi-finished product 20, so that the semi-finished product 20 is clamped between the pressing portion 121 and the bearing portion 111, and because the semi-finished product 20 and the bearing portion 111 are in a tight fit state, after the molding material 30 is injected into the molding space 13, the molding material 30 can be effectively prevented from overflowing between the semi-finished product 20 and the bearing portion 111, after the molding material 30 is cooled and molded in the molding space 13, a finished product 50 formed by covering the semi-finished product 20 with the molding material 30 is formed in the molding space 13, and then performing the second mold opening to separate the first mold base 11 and the second mold base 12 from each other, it should be noted that, after the first mold base 11 is separated from the second mold base 12, the molding material 30 remaining in the flow channel 122 and the finished product 50 in the molding space 13 can be cut off first (these techniques are well known in the art of general injection molding and are not described herein), so that the finished product 50 is reserved on the first mold base 11, and then the ejection mechanism 112 is used to eject the semi-finished product 20 out of the supporting portion 111, so that the engaging recess 22 is disengaged from the engaging protrusion 115, and the finished product 50 can be taken out from the first mold base 11, where the finished product 50 is shown in fig. 7.
Therefore, since the semi-finished product 20 and the carrying portion 111 are tightly fitted, the inner wall surface of the set space 21 of the semi-finished product 20 is fitted to the top surface 113 and the side surface 114 of the carrying portion 111, and the semi-finished product 20 is clamped by the carrying portion 111 and the pressing portion 121, so as to more effectively prevent the molding material 30 from flowing between the semi-finished product 20 and the carrying portion 111.
Finally, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, in the embodiment, the pair of dies 10 further includes an intermediate plate 14, the intermediate plate 14 is mainly disposed between the first die holder 11 and the second die holder 12, when the pressing jig 40 is placed inside the die 10, the intermediate plate 14 and the first die holder 11 are mainly used for first mold matching, so as to prevent the pressing jig 40 from deviating when the first die holder 11 and the second die holder 12 are matched, and further, the semi-finished product 20 can be positioned in advance, so that the relative position between the semi-finished product 20 and the carrying portion 111 can be effectively ensured before the first mold matching of the first die holder 11 and the second die holder 12, and then the first mold matching is performed, thereby further increasing the yield after the injection molding.
