Tooling for injection-molding a part
View Patent ↗A tooling for injection-molding a part, the tooling including two cavity blocks each including a cavity formed therein of a shape corresponding to a shape of a part that is to be molded once the cavity blocks have been superposed, at least one of the cavity blocks including an ejection mechanism ejecting the molded part and including at least one ejector movable between a molding position and an ejection position. The ejector is guided to move between its two positions along a curved path, or a circular arc, of shape that corresponds to a shape of a portion of the mold part to be extracted from the cavity.
1. A tooling for injection-molding a part, the tooling comprising:
two cavity blocks each including a cavity formed therein of a shape corresponding to a shape of a part that is to be molded once the cavity blocks have been superposed, at least one of the cavity blocks including ejection means for ejecting the molded part and comprising at least one ejector movable between a molding position in which the ejector lies outside the corresponding cavity and an ejection position in which the ejector projects into the cavity,
wherein the ejector is guided to move between the molding position and the ejection position along a curved path, or a circular arc, of shape that corresponds to a shape of a portion of the molded part to be extracted from the cavity.
2. A tooling according to claim 1 , wherein the ejector is curved in shape.
3. A tooling according to claim 1 , wherein the two cavity blocks are mounted to pivot relative to each other about a pin between a molding position in which the two cavity blocks are superposed, and an unmolding position in which the two cavity blocks are spaced apart, and wherein the ejection means includes an ejector support having one end mounted to pivot about the pivot pin of the cavity block and having its other end fitted with the ejector.
4. A tooling according to claim 3 , wherein the ejector is actuated with help of a cam and/or a handle.
5. A tooling according to claim 4 , wherein the cam bears against a support face of the ejector at a point that is spaced apart from the pivot axis, so as to lift the support and the ejector when the cam is turned.
6. A tooling according to claim 1 , wherein the ejection means includes two ejectors that are parallel or concentric and spaced apart from each other.
7. A tooling according to claim 1 , including a stationary bottom cavity block and a movable top cavity block, the ejector being arranged in the bottom cavity block.
8. A tooling according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the cavity blocks is mounted to pivot about the pin via at least one rolling bearing, or a ball bearing.
