CN201320215534.7 relates to the technical field of key molds, in particular to an inlaying structure mold for columnar solid plastic keys, which structurally comprises a female mold and a male mold, wherein the female mold is provided with a mold cavity corresponding to the columnar solid plastic keys in shape, the mold cavity comprises a straight column part and an arc chamfering part, the male mold is provided with an injection molding port, the mold cavity is communicated with the injection molding port, the female mold comprises an insert and a bottom plate part, a gap for exhausting is reserved between the insert and the bottom plate part, the straight column part is arranged on the insert, and the arc chamfering part is arranged on the bottom plate part; the invention provides an inlaying structure die for a columnar solid plastic key, which can not form trapped air at the bottom of a die cavity in the injection molding process.

However, in the prior art, when the injection mold closes the mold and injects the hot melt plastic, the gas inside the cavity of a part of complex parts is not easy to be discharged, and the hot melt plastic flows in the cavity to extrude and compress the air in the cavity, so that the phenomenon of gas trapping is formed, the forming of a product is influenced, and the service life of the mold is even reduced. The traditional process solves the problems that the design of a product and a mold is changed or a ventilating insert is arranged in a gas trapping area, the former prolongs the working period, and the latter is high in cost, so that the mold is more complicated, the layout difficulty of a water path is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the mold is influenced.

The in-mold decoration technology puts the insert with printed patterns into a metal mold, and finishes the process of product decoration while the injection molding process. In the injection molding process, the fixation of the insert is an important ring, and the product is defective due to the fact that the insert slides off or is unstable in position. The prior art mainly has the defects of inclined pushing and fixing of an oil cylinder sliding block, fixing of an elastic needle and electrostatic adsorption, complex structural design, long processing period, high cost and the like.

When a closed box-packed product is demolded, vacuum adsorption is easy to occur between a plastic part and a mold core, so that demolding is difficult or even impossible. The existing solution is to set air inlet, optimize injection parameters and process, prolong the processing period and increase the cost.
