Problems solved by technology

In the intermittent foaming process, the polymer is first made into the shape of the product, and then foamed, but because the process is more complicated and the cycle is longer, it is not suitable for industrial production.
The continuous extrusion molding process is widely used, but its rapid die limits the output and extrusion flow rate of the product

Abstract

The invention discloses a secondary mold opening device for micro-pore injection-molding-foaming and in-mold-decoration composite molding and a technology. The device comprises a male mold, a female mold, a film for in-mold decoration and a driving mechanism, wherein the male mold and the female mold are oppositely arranged. The film is arranged on the inner wall of the female mold in an attached mode; the driving mechanism is connected with the female mold; before filling, the driving mechanism drives the female mold to move till the size of a mold cavity is smaller than the size of a part; after a mixture melt of a polymer and a foaming agent is injected into the mold cavity and before gas is nucleated, the driving mechanism drives the female mold to be rapidly backed till the size of the mold cavity is coincident with the size of the part; after the part is completely foamed, the driving mechanism drives the female mold to be backed to take out the part. According to the secondary mold opening device, the nucleating efficiency in the foaming process of micro-pore injection-molding-foaming and in-mold-decoration composite molding is effectively improved, the pore foaming form of a product is improved, and the quality of the product is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microporous foaming injection molding and in-mold decoration molding, and in particular relates to a secondary mold opening device and process for composite molding of microporous injection foaming and in-mold decoration. Background technique [0002] Due to its unique structure, microcellular foamed plastic has the advantages of reducing product quality, improving impact strength and sound insulation performance. However, during the molding process, the air bubbles generated may overflow from the surface of the product, resulting in a decrease in the surface quality of the product. The commonly used molding methods of microcellular foaming include intermittent microcellular foaming, continuous extrusion molding and injection molding. In the intermittent foaming process, the polymer is first made into the shape of the product, and then foamed. However, due to the complicated process and long cycle, it is...
