Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
Before the technical solution of the present invention is described in this embodiment, the prior art is explained first:
the plastic product to which the mold of the invention is applicable is shown in fig. 1, and fig. 1 shows the local characteristics of a certain plastic product after injection molding in an injection mold. The area indicated by aa in fig. 1 is a raised rib. The raised ribs are the special structural features of the local position of the plastic product described in the background of the invention. Due to the existence of the raised ribs, after the plastic product is subjected to injection molding, secondary ejection and demolding are required. After the injection molding of the product is completed, most characteristics of the product are ejected out by the first-stage ejection structure, but the raised ribs are still adhered to the first-stage ejection structure, the plastic product is not completely separated, the product cannot be directly taken out at the moment, and a second-stage ejection mechanism is needed to separate the raised ribs from the mold. It should be noted that the meaning of the secondary ejection mold/mechanism/structure is the same as that of the secondary ejection mold/mechanism/structure.
To facilitate the reader's understanding of the subsequent technical solutions, the following explanations of the related terms are provided:
demolding: in the plastic product industry, after the product is subjected to injection molding, the product needs to be separated from a mold structure by an ejection mechanism, so that the product is grabbed, and the product demolding is called.
Resetting: in the product demoulding process, the process that the ejection mechanism is recovered to the production working state from the ejection state is called resetting.
Fig. 2 illustrates the structure of a conventional two-stage ejection die of the related art. As shown in fig. 2, the conventional two-stage ejection mold includes a mold base, an ejector pin base plate, an ejector pin panel, and a mold core, which are sequentially disposed from bottom to top, wherein a support pillar is fixedly disposed on the mold base. The support column is vertically arranged. The supporting column penetrates through the thimble base plate and the thimble panel, so that the thimble base plate and the thimble panel can be vertically lifted along the length direction of the supporting column. The ejector pin bottom plate is connected with a first ejector pin, the first ejector pin further penetrates through the ejector pin panel, the ejector pin panel can vertically lift along the length direction of the first ejector pin, a second ejector pin is arranged on the ejector pin panel, and the first ejector pin and the second ejector pin are both used for ejecting a product located at the upper end of the mold core. Wherein, first thimble, second thimble, support column all are parallel. The two-stage ejection die further comprises two groups of hydraulic oil cylinders, each hydraulic oil cylinder comprises an oil cylinder body and a piston rod, and the piston rods are located at the lower end of the oil cylinder body. One set of hydraulic rams is located on the left side of the mold core shown in figure 2 and the other set of hydraulic rams is located on the right side of the mold core shown in figure 2. The oil cylinder body of a group of hydraulic oil cylinders positioned on the left side of the mold core is fixedly connected with the mold core, and the lower end of the piston rod is fixedly connected with the ejector pin panel, so that the group of hydraulic oil cylinders are used for driving the ejector pin panel to lift and correspondingly realize the lifting and descending of a second ejector pin on the ejector pin panel. The oil cylinder bodies of a group of hydraulic oil cylinders positioned on the right side of the mold core are fixedly connected with the mold core, and the lower ends of the piston rods are fixedly connected with the thimble base plates to correspondingly realize the jacking and descending of the first thimbles of the thimble base plates.
Obviously, the existing conventional two-stage ejection die has the problem that two groups of hydraulic cylinders need to be matched with each other for use, so that the first ejector pin and the second ejector pin can eject a product once and the second ejector pin can eject the product twice.
The problems existing in the prior art are as follows: the tool has high cost, large size of the die, long action cycle period and limitation on production equipment. The concrete expression is as follows: the primary ejection and the secondary ejection of the die both need hydraulic oil cylinders, but two groups of eight hydraulic oil cylinders are generally needed, so that the cost is high. And these hydraulic cylinder need set up in four bights of mould, if consider that hydraulic cylinder's installation, arrangement do not exceed the mould maximum profile, will increase the mould size, increased demands such as production board, mould parking space, further increased recessive cost. In addition, secondary ejection also needs a hydraulic oil cylinder to realize, the requirement on the output power of an oil supply system of the injection molding machine table is high, the connection between the primary ejection and the secondary ejection is not smooth, the waiting time is long, the action cycle period is relatively long, the production period of a product is prolonged, the production efficiency is reduced, and the cost is also increased. Moreover, because two sets of hydraulic cylinders are required, the mold structure cannot be produced for some machines which can only provide one set of oil output. And two sets of oil circuit outputs, also relatively great to the power and the energy consumption of board.
Fig. 3 shows a secondary ejection demolding mold provided by the invention, which includes a mold base 1, a support pillar 2 fixed on the mold base 1, a mold core 3 arranged at the upper end of the support pillar 2, and a thimble panel 4 and a thimble base plate 5 which are sequentially stacked and movably sleeved on the support pillar 2 from top to bottom, wherein a first thimble 6 sequentially passing through the thimble panel 4 and the mold core 3 from bottom to top is fixedly connected to the thimble base plate 5, and a second thimble 7 passing through the mold core 3 is fixedly connected to the thimble panel 4, and further includes an oil cylinder driving system and a mechanical fastener structure.

the pull hook 31 is arranged at the side end of the thimble base plate 5, and the movable elastic block 32 is arranged at the side end of the thimble panel 4. The release hook member 33 is provided at a side end of the mold core 3.
As shown in fig. 4-6, the upper end of the pulling hook 31 has a hook 311 extending above the upper end of the thimble base plate 5; the movable elastic block 32 is separated from or buckled with the hook part 311 of the hook part 31, so as to separate or connect the thimble panel 4 and the thimble bottom plate 5; the lower end of the release hook member 33 has a reverse-push portion that protrudes below the lower end of the mold core 3, the reverse-push portion being separated from or in abutting engagement with the movable spring piece 32.
The oil cylinder driving system is used for driving the ejector pin panel 4 to approach the mold core 3, so that the reverse pushing part pushes the movable elastic block 32, and the movable elastic block 32 is separated from the hook part 311 of the hook part 31; the oil cylinder driving system is further used for driving the ejector pin panel 4 to be away from the mold core 3, so that the reverse pushing part releases the pushing of the movable elastic block 32, and the movable elastic block 32 automatically resets and is buckled with the hook part 311.
Wherein the hook releasing member 33 is disposed above the hook drawing member 31, and a lower end of the backward pushing portion is provided with an open groove 331 for receiving the hook drawing member 31. The opening groove 331 is located above the hook member 31, and the width of the opening groove 331 is greater than the width of the hook 311 at the upper end of the hook member 31, so that the opening groove 331 can at least accommodate the hook 311.
The upper part of the unhooking part 33 and the lower part of the draw hook part 31 are respectively in mushroom head structure, the upper end of the unhooking part 33 is connected with the mould core 3 through a screw, and the lower end of the draw hook part 31 is connected with the thimble base plate 5 through a screw.
The movable elastic block 32 comprises a movable block 321 and an elastic piece which are connected, the inner end of the movable block 321 is connected with the thimble panel 4 through the elastic piece, and the outer end of the movable block 321 is over against the pull hook piece 31 or the unhooking piece 33.
In some embodiments, the elastic member includes a spring 322 and a coupling screw 323. The side end of the thimble panel 4 is provided with a horizontal counter bore, a horizontal connecting screw 323 is arranged in the counter bore, a spring 322 and a movable block 321 are sleeved on the connecting screw 323, the spring 322 is positioned between the inner end of the counter bore and the movable block 321, wherein a horizontal step hole is arranged in the movable block 321, the aperture of the small end section of the step hole, which is over against the spring 322, is smaller than the large end section of the movable block 321, which is back to the spring 322, the nut part of the connecting screw 323 is positioned in the large end section, the nut part of the connecting screw 323 plays a role in limiting the horizontal displacement of the movable block 321, the connecting screw 323 is screwed or unscrewed, the extrusion degree of the movable block 321 to the spring 322 can be adjusted, and the position of the movable block 321 can also be adjusted.
When the spring 322 is in a natural state, the nut of the connecting screw 323 does not extend out of the counterbore, a portion of the movable block 321 near the outer end thereof extends out of the counterbore, and the movable block 321 extending out of the counterbore is engaged with the hook portion 311 of the hook member 31, so that the thimble panel 4 is connected with the thimble base plate 5 and can be lifted and lowered synchronously. When the spring 322 is horizontally compressed, the movable block 321 completely extends into the counterbore, so as to be separated from the hook portion 311 of the hook pulling element 31, the ejector pin panel 4 is separated from the ejector pin bottom plate 5, and the oil cylinder driving system can independently drive the ejector pin panel 4 to lift, so that the secondary ejection of the second ejector pin 7 is realized.
One of the problems to be solved is how to drive the spring 322 to move horizontally to realize the compression and the reset, and the other is how to drive the spring 322 to move horizontally under which state of the mold, so that the mold realizes consistent and efficient secondary ejection and demolding under a set of oil cylinder driving system.
For the sake of understanding, we will first define the end surfaces of the hooking piece 31, the movable block 321 and the unhooking piece 33. Taking fig. 3 as an example, the hook pulling element 31, the movable block 321 and the hook releasing element 33 are arranged on the right side of the mold, and the right end of the movable block 321, i.e. the end surface which can extend into or out of the counter bore, is taken as the outer end of the movable block 321, whereas the end surface of the movable block 321 opposite to the spring 322 is taken as the inner end of the movable block 321. Correspondingly, the end face of the hook 31 facing the movable block 321/the ejector pin bottom plate 5 is regarded as the inner end of the hook 31, and the end face of the hook facing away from the movable block 321 or the upright end face of the ejector pin bottom plate 5 is regarded as the outer end of the hook 31. The end surface of the hook 33 facing the needle panel 4 and standing up is regarded as the inner end of the hook 33, and the end surface of the hook 33 facing away from the needle panel 4 and standing up is regarded as the outer end of the hook 33. The open groove 331 may be actually considered to be provided at the inner end of the hook member 33 and extend to communicate with the lower end of the hook member 33.
A first edge 3211, where the outer end of the movable block 321 intersects with the upper end thereof, is provided with a first inclined chamfered surface 3212; a second edge, where the lower end of the disengaging hook 33 intersects with the inner end of the disengaging hook, is provided with a second inclined chamfered surface 332, and the second chamfered surface 332 is in pushing fit with the first chamfered surface 3212.
In some embodiments, the second edge passes through the opening 331 of the release hook 33, and a second chamfer surface 332 is respectively disposed on both sides of the opening 331. Correspondingly, the first edge 3211 of the movable block 321 is also provided with two first chamfer surfaces 3212 at intervals along the length direction of the first edge 3211, and the two first chamfer surfaces 3212 are matched with the two second chamfer surfaces 332 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The first chamfered surface 3212 and the second chamfered surface 332 are preferably chamfered at an angle of 45 °, but may have other angles or may have rounded corners. And the width of the area between the two first chamfer surfaces 3212 of the first edge 3211 of the movable block 321 is less than or equal to the width of the opening groove 331 of the hook releasing member 33, so that when the first chamfer surface 3212 and the second chamfer surface 332 are matched, the area can be accommodated in the opening groove 331.
When the unhooking element 33 and the movable block 321 move towards each other, that is, move close to each other, the second chamfer surface 332 cooperates with the first chamfer surface 3212, and as the unhooking element 33 continuously applies an ejecting force to the movable block 321, the movable block 321 is horizontally moved towards the inner side of the counterbore by the horizontal component of the ejecting force, and presses the spring 322 until the outer end of the movable block 321 is contracted into the counterbore, the movable block 321 is separated from the hook portion 311 of the hook member 31, the unhooking element 33 and the movable block 321 continue to move towards each other, and at this time, the outer end of the movable block 321 abuts against the inner end of the unhooking element 33, or at this time, the inner end of the unhooking element 33 and the outer end of the movable block 321 are in ejecting cooperation, so that the movable block 321 continuously keeps pressed state, and the spring 322 is in a compressed state. The hook 31 enters the opening groove 331 of the hook-releasing member 33, so as to restrict the following upward pushing of the hook 31, and separate the ejector pin panel 4 from the ejector pin base plate 5. Although the ejector pin panel 4 and the ejector pin base plate 5 can be separated after the movable block 321 is separated from the hook member 31, the hook releasing member 33 limits the hook member 31 in the opening groove 331 and limits the lifting stroke thereof, and can further ensure that the ejector pin panel 4 and the ejector pin base plate 5 are separated.
The hook 311 is reversely buckled at the upper end of the movable block 321. Namely, the hook part 311 is hooked on the upper end of the movable block 321, and the other structure of the hook pulling member 31 outside the hook part 311 is arranged below the movable block 321 to avoid affecting the stroke of the movable block 321. When the hook 311 engages with the movable block 321, the lower end of the hook 311 overlaps the upper end of the movable block 321.
The hook 311 and the movable block 321 are different mating surfaces when they are engaged and disengaged, and the different mating surfaces are chamfered. For example, a 45 degree chamfer or other chamfer angle may be used, or a rounded corner may be provided. According to the action of buckling and separating, the matching surfaces are divided into two groups, when the hook part 311 and the movable block 321 are changed from the buckling state to the separating state, the edge a3111 at the lower end of the hook part 311 is matched with the first edge 3211 of the movable block 321, and the two edges are both subjected to chamfering treatment to form a group of two matching surfaces. When the hook 311 and the movable block 321 are changed from the separated state to the buckled state, the edge b3112 intersecting the upper end of the hook 311 and the inner end thereof is matched with the edge c3213 intersecting the outer end of the movable block 321 and the lower end thereof, and the edge b3112 and the edge c3213 are respectively chamfered to form another set of matching surfaces.
The oil cylinder driving system comprises an oil cylinder body 21 and a piston rod 22, wherein the oil cylinder body 21 is fixedly arranged at the side end of the mold core 3, one end of the piston rod 22 is connected with the oil cylinder body 21, and the other end of the piston rod 22 is fixedly connected with the ejector pin panel 4.
Two oil inlet and outlet ports are arranged in the oil cylinder body 21 along the height direction of the oil cylinder body at intervals, a piston of the piston rod 22 is positioned between the two oil inlet and outlet ports, when oil is fed into the lower oil inlet and outlet port, the piston rod 22 is lifted, and the upper oil inlet and outlet port is used for oil outlet; conversely, when oil is fed from the upper oil inlet and outlet, the piston rod 22 descends, and oil is discharged from the lower oil inlet and outlet.
In some embodiment modes, the upper end of the ejector pin panel 4 is further fixedly provided with a fixing plate 8, the upper end of the fixing plate 8 is provided with a limiting block 9, and the first ejector pin 6 and the second ejector pin 7 respectively penetrate through the fixing plate 8. The limiting block 9 can limit the jacking stroke of the ejector pin panel 4, the fixing plate 8 is connected with the ejector pin panel 4 through screws, and the fixing plate 8 is in sliding fit with the first ejector pin 6 and the second ejector pin 7, so that the jacking of the ejector pin panel 4 is more stable.
The upper end of the first thimble 6 is further provided with a top block 10, and the upper end of the top block 10 is provided with a convex part or a concave part. The concave part of the top block 10 at the upper end of the first thimble 6 is used for forming a convex rib protruding downwards for the product.
Based on the same invention concept, the invention also provides a demoulding and resetting method of the secondary ejection demoulding mould, which comprises the following steps:
driving the ejector pin panel 4 to be close to the mold core 3 by using an oil cylinder driving system of the secondary ejection demolding mold, so that the first ejector pin 6 and the second ejector pin 7 are ejected synchronously to finish the primary ejection of the mold;
the ejector pin panel 4 and the mold core 3 are driven to continuously approach by the oil cylinder driving system, the movable elastic block 32 is pushed by the reverse pushing part of the unhooking part 33, the movable elastic block 32 is separated from the hook part 311 of the hook part 31, the ejector pin panel 4 and the ejector pin bottom plate 5 are separated, the second ejector pin 7 is continuously pushed, and the secondary ejection of the mold is completed;

The following describes the demolding resetting method of the secondary ejection demolding mold in detail with reference to the specific drawings.
As shown in fig. 3, in this state, the product on the mold is injection molded, i.e., the ejection and demolding operation is about to be performed. As shown in fig. 7, which is a schematic view of the structure of the mold after the one-step/one-step ejection is completed, it can be seen that most of the structure on the product is separated from the mold core 3, and a part, for example, a part in contact with the top block 10 is not separated, and thus, the two-step/two-step ejection is required.
When oil is fed from the oil inlet and the oil outlet below the oil cylinder body 21, the piston rod 22 rises to drive the thimble panel 4 and the thimble base plate 5 to rise synchronously, and when the thimble panel and the thimble base plate rise to the state shown in fig. 7, one-time or one-stage ejection is completed, and in this state, the hook portion 311 and the movable block 321 are still in a buckling state.
When the piston rod 22 continues to ascend, the hook portion 311 is separated from the movable block 321, the ejector pin panel 4 continues to ascend, the ejector pin base plate 5 stops, and the ejector pin panel 4 is separated from the ejector pin base plate 5, as shown in fig. 8. And the second ejector pin 7 continues to eject, so that the product is separated from the ejector block 10, and the mold finishes secondary/secondary ejection.
When the product is taken away, the mold needs to be reset, as shown in fig. 9, the oil inlet and outlet above the oil cylinder body 21 takes oil to lower the piston rod 22, the ejector pin panel 4 is far away from the mold core 3, the ejector pin panel 4 is close to the ejector pin base plate 5, the lower end of the movable block 321 is matched with the upper end of the hook portion 311, the movable block 321 is extruded, the spring 322 is compressed, the movable block 321 is contracted into the counter bore, the movable block 321 is buckled with the hook portion 311, the state is changed to the state shown in fig. 10, and at this time, the ejector pin panel 4 is close to the ejector pin base plate 5. When the piston rod 22 continues to descend, the thimble base plate 5 and the thimble panel 4 descend together until the thimble base plate 5 abuts against the die holder 1, and the secondary resetting of the die is completed. The mold after the completion of the secondary reset is shown in fig. 3. The next injection molding and ejection demolding process of the product can be carried out.
