Water-assisted molding process and constant pressure water-assisted injection molding equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a water-assisted molding process and constant pressure water-assisted injection molding equipment and aims to realize stable water injection and pressure maintenance and improve the quality of plastic parts. The equipment comprises an injection molding machine controller, a hydraulic control telescopic gas needle and a water needle, wherein the water needle is connected with a gas injection pressure closed-loop control circuit, a water injection pressure closed-loop control circuit and a depressurization closed-loop control circuit respectively; and the hydraulic control telescopic gas needle is connected with a compressed air drainage unit. The water-assisted molding process comprises the following steps of: a, injecting a plastic melt into a die cavity; b, injecting a little nitrogen into the plastic melt; c, injecting high-pressure water into the rear part of the nitrogen; d, injecting the high-pressure water into the die cavity and maintaining the pressure;e, after cooling, curing and molding, draining the injected water and reducing the pressure; f, draining the injected water completely; g, ejecting a plastic part; and h, entering the next period. Compared with the prior art, the equipment is provided with a gas pressure supercharger and a water pressure generating device to fulfill the aims of realizing stable water injection and pressure maintenance and reducing the product development and production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an injection molding process and equipment, in particular to a gas-assisted molding technology, combined with the characteristics of water-assisted molding, using gas and water as the medium, and automatically controlling the pressure and flow of water injected into the plastic part after pressurization. Water-assisted molding process for hollow products made of plastic and constant-pressure water-assisted injection molding equipment. Background technique [0002] Over the years, people have been exploring and improving the molding and processing technology of plastic products. In the 1970s, the gas-assisted molding technology developed for the purpose of reducing warpage, avoiding dents and reducing raw material consumption has been proposed and gradually applied. We have also done some research in this field, such as invention patents: ZL: 200510121110.4. In recent years, due to some deficiencies exposed in the use of gas-a...
