[0060] Referring to
[0061] In this example, the telescopic cone 601 is a cone, and when the core 5 is attached to the cavity wall of the installation cavity 304, the shape of the accommodating space 503 is the same as that of the telescopic cone 601. The telescopic cone 601 has a large end and a small end with different radial dimensions. The small end faces fixed half 2, and the large end of the cone faces away from fixed half 2.
[0062] During injection molding, the telescopic cone 601 is fitted into the accommodating space 503 of the core 5, and the telescopic cone 601 presses the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 against the inner sidewall of the movable mold 3. When demolding, the telescopic cone 601 is moved in the direction away from the fixed half 2. The small end of the cone 601 can be gradually moved away from the fixed half 2, and each first slide 501 and each second slide 502 can be gradually retracted along the radial direction of the core 5, so that the outer sidewall of the diameter variable end 505 can be separated from the groove wall of the groove 102, and no damage can be achieved to ensure the yield, and the demolding process is convenient.
[0063] Further, as shown in
[0064] In some specific examples, as shown in
[0065] It can be understood that the core 5 is configured as an elastic member having the diameter variable end 505, such as a cylindrical elastic member, a circular frustum-shaped elastic member or other elastic members with cylindrical ends, and demolding component 6 is arranged to be extruded plates or other structures causing the cylindrical end of the core 5 to elastically deform.

[0067] Referring to
[0068] In this example, through the cooperation of the locating slot 504 and the limit block 6011, the movement accuracy of the telescopic cone 601 is improved and the sliding resistance is reduced. In addition, the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 are prevented from rotating relative to the telescopic cone 601 in the circumferential direction. The inner undercut of the groove 102 is prevented from being damaged by the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 during demolding.
[0069] In other examples, the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 are respectively provided with limit blocks 6011 extending along the axis direction of the core 5, then the positions corresponding to the respective limit blocks 6011 on the telescopic cone 601 are respectively provided with the locating slot 504 slidably connected to the corresponding limit blocks 6011, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the telescopic cone 601 and reducing the sliding resistance; or, the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 are provided with a limit block 6011 arranged along the axis direction of the core 5, and the position on the telescopic cone 601 corresponding to each limit block 6011 is respectively provided with a locating slot 504 slidably connected to the corresponding limit block 6011, thereby further improving the movement accuracy of the telescopic cone 601 and reducing the sliding resistance; The positions corresponding to each limit block 6011 on the cone 601 are respectively provided with locating slots 504 slidably connected to the corresponding limit blocks 6011, the second slide 502 is provided with a locating slot 504 provided along the axis direction of the core 5, and the position on telescopic cone 601 corresponding to each locating slot 504 is provided with limit blocks 6011 slidably connected to the corresponding locating slots 504.
[0070] It is understood that the specific positions of the limit block 6011 and the locating slot 504 are arranged on the first slide 501, the second slide 502 and the telescopic cone 601 do not affect the realization of the concept of the present application. As long as the locating slot 504 and the limit block 6011 can cooperate, the movement accuracy of the telescopic cone 601 can be improved and the sliding resistance can be reduced. In addition, the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 can be prevented from rotating relative to the telescopic cone 601 in the circumferential direction. The first slide 501 and the second slide 502 are driven by the axial movement of the telescopic cone 601 to achieve lateral movement so as to prevent the first slide 501 and the second slide 502 from causing damage to the inner undercut of the groove wall of the groove 102 during demolding, and achieve the effect of smooth demolding of the undercut portion 1. Optionally, in this example, the locating slot 504 is a dovetail slot, and the shape of the limit block 6011 is adapted to the dovetail slot, so that the circumferential rotation of the limit block 6011 along the telescopic cone 601 can be prevented.
[0071] Referring to
[0072] Furthermore, as shown in
[0073] Furthermore, as shown in
[0074] Referring to
[0075] Since the core 5 is formed by splicing and enclosing a plurality of first slides 501 and a plurality of second slides 502, and a telescopic cone 601 is also provided in the accommodating space 503 of the core 5, when the undercut portion 1 is produced by injection molding, the contour lines of the diameter variable end 505 and the telescopic cone 601 facing one end of the fixed half 2 will cause disordered lines to be formed on the bottom surface of the groove 102, thereby affecting the flatness of the formed flat portion 103 and the light extraction performance of the flat portion 103. In this example, the insert 7 with a smooth plane is arranged on the end face of the diameter variable end 505, so that the diameter variable end 505 of the core 5 and the end of the telescopic cone 601 facing the fixed half 2 can be isolated from the flat portion 103, and the inner bottom surface of the groove of the first groove 401 is a smooth plane, the formation of cluttered lines on the flat portion 103 can be prevented, thereby ensuring the flatness of the flat portion 103 and improving the light extraction performance of the flat portion 103.
[0076] Furthermore, as shown in
[0077] In this example, the insert 7 is fixedly installed on the moving half 3 through the rod 701 and the second connector 12. When the undercut portion 1 is produced by injection molding, the displacement of the insert 7 can be prevented, and the flatness of the flat portion 103 and the light output performance of the flat portion 103 can be avoided.
[0078] Referring to
[0079] In this example, the end surface of the diameter variable end 505 forms a smooth plane, and the inner bottom surface of the first groove 401 is a smooth plane, which can prevent the formation of cluttered lines on the flat portion 103, thereby ensuring the flatness of the flat portion 103 and improving light output performance the flat portion 103. In addition, the core 5 in this example has the advantage of a simple structure. It can be understood that the smooth plane refers to the surface roughness of the plane is relatively low, optionally, the roughness of the smooth plane in this example ranges from 0.01 to 0.08.
[0080] Referring to
[0081] Referring to
[0082] Referring to
[0083] Referring to
[0084] In this example, the undercut portion 101 has a flat portion 103 integrally injection-molded with the undercut portion 101, so that it is unnecessary to assemble the flat portion 103 on the undercut portion 101 separately, thereby improving the production and assembly efficiency of the transparent plastic part.
[0085] Referring to
