These protruding plates 53 and 54 are fixed to each other by bolts 55. And the protruding plates 53, 54
The protruding pin 56 fixed to the above protrudes downward and penetrates the second fixed side receiving plate 16 and the cavity insert 20.
The tip end surface of the protruding pin 56 faces the cavity 3. More specifically, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the small-diameter hole 58 and the large-diameter hole 59 that are connected to each other by the disconnection surface 57 are coaxially formed through the protruding plate 54 on the cavity 3 side, and the flange 60 at the base of the protruding pin 56 is formed. It is fixed by being sandwiched from the axial direction by the disconnection surface 57 and the protruding plate 53. The diameters of the small diameter hole 58 and the large diameter hole 59 are
Each of them is larger than the diameter of the protruding pin 56 and its flange 60 by about 1 to 2 mm. Further, the insertion hole 61, which is formed through the second fixed side receiving plate 16 and the cavity insert 20 and through which the protrusion pin 56 is inserted in the axial direction, also includes the small diameter hole 62, the large diameter hole 63, and the taper hole 64 connecting them. Has become. The small-diameter hole 62 is short at a position facing the cavity 3 and has the same diameter as the protruding pin 56. On the other hand, the diameter of the large diameter hole 63 is larger than the diameter of the protrusion pin 56 by about 1 to 2 mm. The small-diameter hole 58 and the large-diameter hole 59 of the protruding plate 54 and the large-diameter hole 63 of the receiving plate 16 have a larger diameter than that of the protruding pin 56 in order to absorb a dimensional error during assembly,
The purpose is to reduce sliding resistance. On the other hand, only the small diameter hole 62 facing the cavity 3 should have the same diameter as the ejection pin 56 in order to prevent burrs from being generated in the molded product. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the ejection plates 53 and 54 are biased toward the second fixed side receiving plate 16 by the ejection spring 65 provided on the first fixed side receiving plate 7. Further, return pins 66 are fixed to the protruding plates 53 and 54, and the return pins 66 penetrate the second fixed side receiving plate 16 and the fixed side template 17.
On the other hand, a return pin receiver 67 that abuts the return pin 66 is fixed to the movable side mold plate 45.

On the other hand, the movable-side protrusion mechanism 52 has substantially the same structure as the fixed-side protrusion mechanism 51. That is, between the movable side mounting plate 41 and the movable side receiving plate 43, the bolt
The protruding plates 72, 73 fixed to each other by 71 are movably supported in the vertical direction in the figure.
A protruding pin 74 having a fixed base portion extends through the movable-side receiving plate 43 and the core insert 47. And the protruding pin
The front end surface of 74 is located so as to face the cavity 3. A return pin 75 is fixed to the protruding plates 72 and 73, and the return pin 75 is attached to the movable receiving plate 43.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. At the time of molding, molten resin is injected from the nozzle of the molding machine with the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 closed. This molten resin passes through the sprue 29, the runner 28 of the manifold 27, and the through hole 33, and then from the gate 34 to the fixed mold 1.
Is filled in the cavity 3 formed between the movable mold 2 and the movable mold 2. Then, after the resin filled in the cavity 3 is solidified, the fixed mold 1 and the movable mold 2 are opened and the molded product is taken out. With this mold opening, first, the fixed side protruding mechanism 51
At the push-out spring 65,
53 and 54 move toward the second fixed side receiving plate 16. As a result, the ejection pin 56 that moves in the axial direction together with the ejection plates 53 and 54 ejects the molded product, and the molded product separates from the cavity insert 20. After that, in the movable side ejecting mechanism 52, the ejecting rod of the molding machine pushes the ejecting plates 72 and 73, so that the ejecting plates 72 and 73 move.
Move to. As a result, the protrusion pin 74 that moves in the axial direction together with the protrusion plates 72 and 73 protrudes the molded product, and the molded product separates from the core insert 47. After that, the mold is closed again and the molding is repeated.However, with the mold closing, the return pin receiver 67 pushes the return pin 66 in the fixed-side protruding mechanism 51, thereby resisting the protruding spring 65. The protruding plates 53 and 54 are the first fixed side receiving plate 9
Return to. Further, in the movable side ejection mechanism 52, the ejection plates 72 and 73 are reliably returned to the movable side attachment plate 41 by the biasing of the return spring 77 and the return pin receiver 76 pushing the return pin 75.

By the way, the resin in the spear bushing 32 and the through hole 33 is always kept in a molten state by heating the spear 31 and the like. , A cured layer of resin is created. The cured layer of this resin must be appropriately removed when changing colors. The hardened layer of the resin can be removed by keeping the fixed-side mounting plate 6 attached to the fixed-side platen of the molding machine. That is, in a state where the fixed die 1 and the movable die 2 are opened, the bolt 18 is removed, and the second fixed side receiving plate 16 and the fixed side template 17 are attached to the second fixed side spacer 11 in the second parting line PL2. Pull away from. In this state, the cured layer of the resin can be pulled out and removed.

[0009]

By the way, the protruding plates 53 and 54 of the fixed-side protruding mechanism 51 are the same as the first fixed-side receiving plate 9.
As described above, when the second fixed-side spacer 11 and the second fixed-side receiving plate 16 and the fixed-side template 17 are separated from each other, as shown in FIG. The protruding pin 56 comes out from the insertion hole 61 of the second fixed side receiving plate 16 and the cavity insert 20. And
When the second fixed-side receiving plate 16 and the fixed-side template 17 are attached to the second fixed-side spacer 11 again, the protrusion pin 56 must be inserted into the insertion hole 33 again. However,
The diameters of the small diameter hole 58 and the large diameter hole 59 of the ejection plate 54 are larger than the diameters of the ejection pin 56 and its flange 60, respectively, and the ejection pin 56 is pressed against the ejection plates 53 and 54 in the radial direction. Therefore, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 3B, the protruding pin 56 is
It is easy to be displaced or bent in the radial direction with respect to the protruding plates 53, 54. Therefore, when the second fixed-side receiving plate 16 and the fixed-side template 17 are attached to the second fixed-side spacer 11, there is a problem that the protruding pin 56 does not fit into the insertion hole 61. Further, even if it enters, the tip of the ejection pin 56 may abut the taper hole 64 in the insertion hole 61, resulting in damage or wear. If the tip of the protrusion pin 56 is damaged or worn, the molded product will suffer from burrs and other inconveniences.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and the mold body provided with the ejecting mechanism comprises a first mold body member and a second mold body member which can be opened and closed with each other. In the die with the ejection mechanism, in which the ejection pin incorporated in the second molding member side is inserted into the insertion hole of the first molding member, the opened first molding member and the second molding member are again removed. An object of the present invention is to allow the ejector pin to be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole when closing, without causing damage.

[0011]

Is provided with an ejecting pin, and a mold body provided with this ejecting mechanism includes a cavity-side first mold member and an axis of the eject pin with respect to the first mold member. A second mold member that can be opened and closed in a direction, and the protrusion mechanism includes a protrusion plate that is provided on the second mold member side so as to be movable in the axial direction of the protrusion pin, and is fixed to each other. The base of the ejection pin is sandwiched and fixed between a pair of ejection plates formed in the axial direction, and the ejection pin is axially inserted through the first mold member so as to face the cavity. Has an insertion hole In mechanism-equipped die out come, in which is interposed in a pressure contact state in the radial direction of the pin protruding sleeve having elasticity between the ejector plate and ejector pins.

[0012]

In the die with the ejecting mechanism of the present invention, resin is filled in the cavity formed between the mold bodies with the plurality of mold bodies closed, and the resin filled in the cavities is solidified. , The mold is opened, and the molded product which is the resin solidified in the cavity is taken out. At the time of this take-out, the ejecting mechanism provided on the mold body releases the molded product from the ejector pin. That is, the ejector pin moves in the axial direction together with the ejector plate provided on the second mold member of the mold to eject the molded product from the cavity-side first mold member. By the way, the base of the ejector pin is originally fixed by being sandwiched by a pair of ejector plates from the axial direction, and furthermore, an elastic sleeve is interposed between the ejector plate and the ejector pin in the radial direction in a pressed state. Therefore, when the first mold member and the second mold member are opened to change colors or remove foreign matters, the ejector pin is first
Even if the ejecting pin comes out of the through hole of the mold body member, the ejecting pin is prevented from being displaced or bent in the radial direction with respect to the ejecting plate. Therefore, when the first mold member and the second mold member are closed again, the ejection pin smoothly enters the insertion hole. Further, the dimensional error is absorbed by the deformation of the sleeve, and even if there is the dimensional error, the ejection pin is incorporated into the insertion hole.
