Abstract

A mold includes a core in which a molded product is formed, the core comprises a cored body and a sliding core on the core body, separable from the core body in a first direction with respect to the core body, and an ejector to press the sliding core in the first direction to separate the molded product formed in the core from the core. The ejector includes a driver positioned below the core and movable toward a lower surface of the core in the first direction or away from the lower surface of the core in a direction opposite to the first direction, and a rod movable in the first direction to press the sliding core to be separated from the driver or movable in the direction opposite to the first direction to couple the sliding core with the driver, and the rod is movable further in the first direction than the driver.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mold comprising:
a core in which a molded product is formed, the core comprising:
a core body; and
a sliding core on the core body, and separable from the core body in a first direction with respect to the core body; and

an ejector to press the sliding core in the first direction to separate the molded product formed in the core from the core,
wherein the ejector comprises:
a driver positioned below the core and movable up to a lower surface of the core body in the first direction;
a first rod movable in the first direction to press the sliding core to be separated from the driver; and
a coupler configured to couple the first rod with the driver or separate the first rod from the driver, and

wherein:
the first rod is configured to be directly pressed by a pressing rod;
the driver is configured to move in the first direction in response to the pressing rod pressing the first rod in a state in which the first rod is coupled with the driver; and
the driver comprises a hole through which the pressing rod is configured to pass to press the first rod in a state in which the first rod is separated from the driver, so that the first rod is movable further in the first direction than the driver while the driver is flush with the lower surface of the core body.

2. The mold of claim 1 , further comprising a template to support the core,
wherein the template comprises an open space of which at least one area opens such that the driver is positioned inside the template, and
the driver is movable up to the lower surface of the core body in the first direction inside the open space.

3. The mold of claim 2 , further comprising a molding plate positioned between the core and the template to support the core,
wherein the molding plate comprises a moving hole through which the ejector is movable in the first direction.

4. The mold of claim 3 , wherein a front end of the moving hole is facing the lower surface of the core body in the first direction, and a rear end of the moving hole is facing the open space in the first direction.

5. The mold of claim 1 , wherein the sliding core comprises a first sliding core formed in an upper side in first direction of the core body and positioned in a first portion of the core body, and a second sliding core formed in a lower side in first direction of the core body and positioned in a second portion of the core body,
the rod comprises a first rod to be coupled with or to be separated from the driver and the first rod is movable to press the first sliding core in the first direction, and a second rod coupled with the driver and is movable to press the second sliding core in the first direction,
the first rod moves further in the first direction than the driver, and
the second rod moves in the first direction in which the driver moves.

6. The mold of claim 1 , wherein the coupler is to be coupled with the first rod in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, and to be separated from the first rod in an opposite direction of the second direction.

7. The mold of claim 6 , wherein the coupler comprises one side to be coupled with the driver and an other side to be coupled with or released from the first rod.

8. The mold of claim 7 , wherein the ejector further comprises an elastic member to connect the driver to one side of the coupler and to elastically support one side of the coupler.

9. The mold of claim 6 , wherein the coupler is movable between a first location at which the coupler is coupled with the first rod and a second location at which the coupler is separated from the first rod in the second direction, and
the ejector further comprises a pressing member presses the coupler in the opposite direction of the second direction to move the coupler from the first location to the second location in response to the pressing member is inserted into the coupler.

10. The mold of claim 9 , wherein the coupler comprises an insertion hole through which the pressing member is inserted in the opposite direction of the first direction, and the pressing member protrudes from the lower surface of the core body toward the opposite direction of the first direction.

11. The mold of claim 10 , wherein the pressing member comprises a pressing portion to press the coupler in the opposite direction of the second direction in response to inserting the pressing member into the insertion hole, and the pressing member presses the coupler while being inserted into the insertion hole in response to the coupler moving in the first direction together with the driver.

12. The mold of claim 11 , wherein the pressing portion is inclined with respect to the first direction, and the coupler further comprises an inclined portion positioned on an inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole, inclined with respect to the first direction, and in contact with the pressing portion to be pressed by the pressing portion in response to inserting the pressing member into the insertion hole.

13. The mold of claim 5 , wherein a spacing is formed between the first sliding core and the first rod in the first direction.

14. The mold of claim 13 , wherein the ejector presses the second sliding core to move the second sliding core by a first distance in the first direction in a first stage, the ejector presses the first sliding core and the second sliding core to further move the first sliding core and the second sliding core together by a second distance in the first direction in a second stage, and the ejector presses the first sliding core to further move the first sliding core by a third distance in the first direction in a third stage.
