Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to an injection mold for rapid cooling and molding. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molds are tools used to manufacture plastic products during the injection molding process. They mainly consist of a mold core, mold cavity, and injection system. After the plastic raw material is melted by heating, the molten plastic is injected into the mold through the injection system of the injection molding machine. After cooling, it is molded into the desired product. During the use of the mold, internal cooling is crucial for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. The design and efficiency of the cooling system directly affect the injection molding cycle time, product dimensional accuracy, surface smoothness, and mold lifespan. Existing cooling structures are mostly direct-flow types, where cold water flows rapidly around the molding area, resulting in relatively low contact time with the mold. Furthermore, due to the relatively simple flow path of the coolant, uneven temperature distribution is easily caused in different parts of the mold. Some areas are rapidly cooled by the coolant, while other areas cool more slowly, leading to localized overheating or undercooling of the mold or product. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an injection mold for rapid cooling and molding, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The upper mold is placed above the lower mold, and the bottom of the upper mold is provided with a mold cavity that mates with the mold core;
[0008] A cold water plate is placed on top of the base.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, this utility model provides a technical solution: a rapid cooling injection mold, comprising: a base 1 with an ejector mechanism installed inside; a lower mold 3 placed above a cooling water plate 2, a mold core 7 fixed to the middle of the lower mold 3 by bolts, and multiple circulating water holes 14 opened at the bottom of the mold core 7; an upper mold 4 installed above the lower mold 3, a mold cavity that mates with the mold core 7 opened at the bottom of the upper mold 4, and water supply holes opened in the middle of the upper mold 4 and around the mold cavity for cooling the mold core 7 with cold water. The cavity is cooled around the periphery. The cold water plate 2 is bolted to the top of the base 1. The lower mold 3 is bolted to the cold water plate 2. Multiple water inlets 8 are horizontally opened in the middle of the cold water plate 2. Water inlet connectors and water blowing connectors are fixed to both ends of the water inlets 8. A connecting hole 15 is vertically opened at the top of the cold water plate 2, which communicates with the water inlets 8. A cold water pin 9 is installed inside the connecting hole 15 to guide the water flow direction of the water inlets 8. A spiral blade 11 is fixed to the outside of the cold water pin 9 to divide the circulating water hole 14 into annular channels.
[0025] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the mold is closed, the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity formed by the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 through the injection hole at the top of the upper mold 4 by the injection molding machine. The water pump injects cold water from the water inlet of the water inlet 8 through the water pipe. The water enters the cold water pin 9 from the water inlet 8 and enters the circulating water hole 14 at the bottom of the mold core 7 through the cold water pin 9. The spiral blade 11 divides the circulating water hole 14 into a spiral water flow channel, so that the water flows along the spiral water flow channel in the circulating water hole 14. During this period, the water comes into contact with the mold core 7 to achieve heat exchange, thereby cooling the mold core 7. The water flows into the water inlet 8 from one side of the bottom of the circulating water hole 14 and then flows out from one end along the water inlet 8. In this way, water can be introduced into the mold core 7 for cooling. The inside of the circulating water hole 14 can be cleaned by disassembling and replacing the cold water pin 9. When the cold water pin 9 is removed, the spiral blade 11 can scrape and clean the inner wall of the circulating water hole 14.
[0026] In one embodiment, the ejection and demolding mechanism includes a pin plate 5 slidably mounted inside the base 1. A plurality of ejector pins 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the pin plate 5. The ejector pins 6 penetrate the cold water plate 2 and are inserted into the mold core 7. The ejector pins 6 penetrate the mold core 7 and are slidably connected to the mold core 7.
[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a through hole, which facilitates the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder to pass through the through hole and push the needle plate 5. When the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 are separated, the needle plate 5 is driven to slide along the guide rod in the middle of the base 1, and the needle plate 5 drives the ejector pin 6 to pass through the mold core 7. In this way, the workpiece is separated from the mold core 7 by the ejector pin 6.
[0028] In one embodiment, the top of the cold water pin 9 is inserted into the circulating water hole 14, and the bottom of the cold water pin 9 is fixed with a protrusion to limit the cold water pin 9 and prevent it from rotating. The bottom of the cold water pin 9 is provided with a frustum structure for closing the circulating water hole 14. A water inlet hole 10 is opened on one side of the frustum structure at the bottom of the cold water pin 9. The water inlet hole 10 is located in the water delivery hole 8. The top of the cold water pin 9 is provided with a water outlet hole 12 that communicates with the water inlet hole 10. A drain notch 13 is provided on the frustum structure of the cold water pin 9 on the side away from the water inlet hole 10 to connect the circulating water hole 14 and the water delivery hole 8.
[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, after water enters through the water supply hole 8, it enters the cold water pin 9 through the water inlet hole 10. The interior of the cold water pin 9 is a hollow structure. After entering the cold water pin 9, the water is sprayed out through the water outlet hole 12 at the top of the cold water pin 9. There is a water storage gap between the water outlet hole 12 and the top of the circulating water hole 14. After the water stays in the circulating water hole 14, it moves downward spirally along the channel formed by the spiral blade 11 and the inner wall of the circulating water hole 14, which delays the contact time between the water and the mold core 7. When the water moves to the position of the drainage gap 13, since the drainage gap 13 is connected to the bottom of the circulating water hole 14, the water enters the water supply hole 8 again through the drainage gap 13, thereby performing heat exchange and cooling on the mold core 7.
