When the first top rod 1120 moves along the first direction V1, the first top rod 1120 can drive the shifting block 1130 to move in the first sliding slot 1121, so as to drive the sliding block 111 to move along the third direction V3, so as to separate the sliding block 111 from the workpiece 00.
Specifically, when the side core pulling mechanism 110 provided above works, the first push rod 1120 moves along the first direction V1, the first sliding groove 1121 moves along with the first push rod 1120 along the first direction V1, because the sliding portion 1132 is disposed in the first sliding groove 1121, and the first sliding groove 1121 extends along the second direction V2, the first sliding groove 1121 applies a force perpendicular to the second direction V2 to the sliding portion 1132 during the movement, and under the force, the slider 111 slides on the injection mold and is separated from the workpiece 00, thereby completing the side core pulling work.
By adopting the side core pulling mechanism 110 provided above, the first sliding chute 1121 on the first ejector rod 1120 drives the shifting block 1130 and the sliding block 111 connected with the shifting block 1130 to move, so that the sliding block 111 is separated from the workpiece 00. Therefore, the side core-pulling mechanism 110 is greatly simplified, a complex structure or a structure with relatively large occupied space is not needed, and the manufacturing cost is saved.
Further, the side core pulling mechanism 110 is provided with a plurality of first push rods 1120 which are oppositely arranged, and the plurality of first push rods 1120 synchronously drive the sliding block 111 to move, so that the sliding block 111 moves more stably.
