AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing injection molding process for PP contact lens cases, quality problems in the plastic parts caused by the contact between the cold mold and the high-temperature melt include defects such as whitening and indentation at the ejector pin contact area.

Method used

The system employs a mold preheating and bidirectional convection cooling pipe structure, combined with slight heating at the ejector pin position. Mold preheating is achieved by setting up heat exchange chambers and preheating branch pipes inside the mold, and uniform cooling is achieved using nested inner and outer cooling pipes. The ejector pin contact position is heated before ejection to reduce ejector pin marks.

Benefits of technology

It improves the surface smoothness and dimensional accuracy of plastic parts, reduces ejector pin marks and uneven cooling, enhances the toughness and consistency of plastic parts, and avoids defects caused by uneven mold cooling.

Abstract

This invention discloses an injection molding process for PP contact lens cases, belonging to the technical field of PP case production processes. The process includes: S1, heating the barrel to melt the PP raw material; S2, preheating the mold by blowing heat from the heat exchange chamber onto the mold using a fan; S3, mold closing and injection molding; S4, cooling and shaping; S5, heating the edges of the PP case to slightly soften the area where the PP case blank contacts the ejector pin; and S6, demolding and removing the part. This invention utilizes a heat exchange chamber on the outer tube of the injection molding machine's injection pipe to conduct residual heat generated during the injection process to the mold preheating area, thereby preheating the mold, reducing the temperature difference between the molten PP and the mold cavity, preventing instantaneous condensation of the melt, and reducing defects such as material shortages and incomplete edges.
