Abstract
A device for injection molding a molded part having an insert includes a mold having a mold cavity, an insert loading device having an insert push rod for positioning an insert in the mold cavity, a magazine having inserts arranged side by side and aligned with the insert push rod, and an insert feed channel ending in the mold cavity and into which the insert aligned with the one insert push rod can be pushed out of the one magazine by means of the insert push rod. The magazine has a horizontally aligned insert receiving surface having adjacent placement positions for the inserts, the placement positions being adapted to the contour of the inserts. The magazine has a loading region having at least one freely accessible placement position for mechanically loading the same with an insert.
Claims12
A device (1) for injection molding a molded part (10) having an insert (11), comprising:
- a mold (2) having two mold halves (2.1, 2.2) and having at least one mold cavity (3.1),
- an insert loading device (4) having at least one insert push rod (4.1) for positioning an insert (11) in the at least one mold cavity (3.11),
- at least one magazine (5) having inserts (11) arranged side by side in a row, one insert (11) being aligned with the at least one insert push rod (4.1), and
- an insert feed channel (7) ending in the at least one mold cavity (3.11) and into which the insert (11) aligned with the at least one insert push rod (4.1) can be pushed out of the at least one magazine (5) by means of the insert push rod (4.1),
- characterized in that
- the magazine (5) has a horizontally aligned insert receiving surface (5.1) having adjacent placement positions (5.11) for the inserts (11), the placement positions (5.11) having a placement contour (5.12) adapted to the contour of the inserts (11),
- the magazine (5.1) has a loading region (5.13) having at least one freely accessible placement position (5.11) for mechanically loading the same with an insert (11), and
- in order to position an insert (11) in the placement position (5.11) aligned with the insert push rod (4.1), the at least one insert (11) placed in the loading region (5.13) can be moved toward an adjacent insert (11) by means of a pushing device (8.1), it being possible for each of the inserts (11) on the insert receiving surface (5.1) to be pushed successively into the adjacent placement position (5.11).
