A undercut processing mechanism includes: a sliding piece having a molding core for molding an undercut portion; a holder having a guide for guiding the sliding piece so that a molding core is detached from the undercut portion; and a retaining piece slidably accommodated in the holder and slidably engaged with the sliding piece. One of the holders and the retaining piece can advance/retract relative to the other thereof The retaining piece has a first engagement element and a second engagement element to be engaged with the sliding piece. The sliding piece is guided via the first engagement element and the second engagement element so that the molding core is detached from the undercut portion and moves away from the molded product.

The separating device comprises: an actuating device (8) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and a separated position, at least one separating element (28, 60) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and a separated position, a transfer device (26) connecting the actuating device (8) and the separating device (28, 60). The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (46), rotatable relative to one another and relative to the actuating device (8) and the separating element (28, 60), and a guide element (36) receiving said links (46), said links being moved along a movement path by the actuating device (8) and moving the separating element (28, 60).

A threaded mold decoupling system includes at least one unscrewing assembly configured to remove a molded article a threaded core of an injection mold, an elevator assembly, and a driving element disposed in operative communication with the at least one unscrewing assembly and with the elevator assembly. The driving element is configured to actuate the at least one unscrewing assembly to rotate a molded article about a longitudinal axis of the threaded core and actuate the elevator assembly to linearly translate the molded article along the longitudinal axis of the threaded core.

A retaining unit includes: a movable ejector pin; a ring-shaped member used in a fixed state; and a ball plunger directly attached to the ejector pin or fixed to a fixing member attached to the ejector pin. The ball plunger is configured to press the ring-shaped member and engage the ejector pin with the ring-shaped member. When a force at a predetermined level or higher is applied to the ejector pin in a movement direction of the ejector pin, the engagement with the ring-shaped member is released so that the ejector pin is allowed to move. The ball plunger is incorporated into the ejector pin or the fixing member so as to be unitized together.

A sealing profile receiving device having first and second holding units for receiving and holding first and second sealing profile elements, and a casting unit for casting a connecting portion for connecting the first and second sealing profile elements and/or for casting first and second end terminations of the first and second sealing profile elements. A first and/or second and/or third drive unit for driving at least one holding and/or clamping and/or ejector element is/are provided and includes a chain comprising a plurality of chain links arranged at least between two guide faces of a guide unit for guiding the chain and/or chain links, such that an adjusting force can be exerted in the pulling and pushing directions of the chain by the first and/or second and/or third drive unit.

An injection molding device has a first mold half, an index plate that in a molding position is at least partly received in the first mold half, and an index plate axle connected with the index plate. The index plate axle is arranged for linear movement along its longitudinal axis relative to the first mold half so that the index plate can be moved between the molding position and a turning position in which the index plate can be rotated with respect to the first mold half. An adaptor plate, connected to the first mold half, has a drive and a first coupling element coupled with the drive. The first coupling element is arranged eccentric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the index plate axle.

An injection mold and a device for preparation of a light guide plate are provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. An injection mold, comprising a male mold and a female mold which cooperate with each other to define collectively a molding cavity adapted for molding a sheet component therein; a blowing device is provided in the male mold and configured to blow out gas with a predetermined pressure towards a bottom surface of the sheet component molded in the molding cavity to overcome at least partially a vacuum adsorption force between the bottom surface of the sheet component and an internal bottom surface of the molding cavity such that the sheet component is separated from the male mold. Therefore, the sheet component can be demoulded successfully and prevented from a relatively large warping deformation during a demoulding process such that the quality thereof can be guaranteed.

The ejection device comprises: a pushing device (14) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and an ejection position, an ejection element (28) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and an ejection position, a transfer device (26) connecting the pushing device (14) and the ejection device (28). The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (44), translatable relative to one another and relative to the pushing device (14) and the ejection element (28).

A molding device for manufacturing a plastic hollow part by injection molding includes an injection nozzle and first and second molding stations. Each molding station has a first mold including two mold halves forming, respectively, first and second mold cavities, and a core having a first end, which can be at least partially located inside the first and second mold cavities. A first stripper can be arranged on the core in a passive position, spaced from the first end of the core at a first distance; in a molding position, spaced from the first end of the core at a second distance; and in a demolding position, spaced from the first end of the core at a third distance; wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance, and the second distance is greater than the third distance.

The present invention surrounds an apparatus and method for the use in injection molding of articles of manufacture using an injection molding apparatus having a valve-gate pin or a plurality of valve-gate pins for actuation to extend and retract from a cavity within an injection mold. The valve-gate pin may have a retention feature or retention features configured for the retention of molded parts such that the retraction or extension of the valve-gate pin provides part removal from an associated injection mold. Further, the valve-gate pin may have a feature or features to facilitate the injection of fluids, gases or particles during or after the primary injection process. Additionally, a plurality of such valve-gate pins may be employed within each mold cavity, or within each valve-gate actuation system.
