[0062] Embodiment 1

[0063] At present, high-speed motors basically use metal parts, because the stability, rigidity and precision of machined metal parts are very high. But now in order to achieve the goal of reducing production cost without reducing quality, it is necessary to try to use injection molding instead of machining metal parts, which requires the precision of injection molded products to be high enough, the rigidity of the plastic used to be good, and the strength to be good, and such plastic particles also cause considerable damage to the injection molding machine and the mold.

[0064] It is known that high-speed motor has higher requirements for parts, including concentricity, flatness, dynamic balance and other parameters, the accuracy of these parameters will affect the speed and life of the motor, in order to achieve the accuracy of the parameter requirements, the high-speed motor still mainly uses metal materials at present, and the plastic motor is mainly used for low-speed products. The purpose of the present application is to form a set of low-cost precision injection molding solution for high-speed motor, to replace the existing machining metal part solution, and significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of small household appliances.

[0065] The present application provides a mold for manufacturing motor heat dissipation parts and a manufacturing method, aiming at replacing the machining metal parts to manufacture small household appliances high-speed motor by injection molding, reducing the production cost as much as possible under the premise of ensuring product quality, hoping to be the first to research the precision injection molding process of high-speed motor in the industry, meet the higher performance requirements of small household appliances for motors, and save manufacturing cost.

[0066] The mold for manufacturing motor heat dissipation parts provided by the present application will be described in detail below.

[0067] Referring to Figure 1 The mold 100 for manufacturing motor heat dissipation parts 300 provided by the present application comprises a male die core 110, a first die core core 120 matched with the male die core 110, a female die core 130, and a second die core core 140 matched with the female die core 130, wherein:

[0068] The male die core 110 has a first accommodating cavity 111, the first die core core 120 is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 111, a ring of grooves is arranged on the side wall of the first die core core 120, and the grooves form a first cooling water channel 121 relative to the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity 111; similar to the design of the male die core, the female die core 130 has a second accommodating cavity 131, the second die core core 140 is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 131, a ring of grooves is arranged on the side wall of the second die core core 140, and the grooves form a second cooling water channel 141 relative to the inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 131.

[0069] One end of the first die core core 120 is connected to one end of the second die core core 140, and the end of the first die core core 120 and the second die core core 140 has a gap, and the gap forms a forming mold cavity of the motor heat dissipation part 300; the first cooling water channel 121 and the second cooling water channel 141 are arranged on the two sides of the forming mold cavity respectively, and the first cooling water channel 121 and the second cooling water channel 141 form annular cooling water channels respectively, which can be seen from Figure 2Because the motor heat sink is a circular product, a circular core is made along the product, so that the core can be processed independently to ensure the roundness of the product. At the same time, an annular waterway is made between the core and the mold pin, and the waterway is sealed by the sealing ring on the upper and lower sides, and the middle is the waterway. For details, see Figure 2 The annular waterway can ensure that the product is evenly heated, and prevent uneven heating of the product during injection molding, which can cause poor roundness of the product and affect use.

[0070] In one embodiment, the mold for manufacturing the motor heat sink 300 also includes a fin forming block 150, as shown in Figure 3 The fin forming block 150 has a fin forming cavity 151 that matches the fins 320 of the motor heat sink 300. The male mold pin 110 is arranged in opposite spacing with the female mold pin 130, and the fin forming block 150 is arranged in the spacing between the male mold pin 110 and the female mold pin 130. The side wall of the fin forming block 150 abuts against the joint of the first mold pin core 120 and the second mold pin core 140, and the fins 320 of the motor heat sink 300 in the forming cavity are formed by the fin forming cavity 151 of the fin forming block 150.

[0071] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 The end face of the first mold pin core 120 and the second mold pin core 140 is provided with a groove 122 and a forming surface 123. The groove 122 is arranged at the center of the end face, and the forming surface 123 is arranged around the end face. The shape and size of the forming surface 123 match the shape and size of one side surface of the pre-formed motor heat sink 300. The end face of the second mold pin core 140 and the first mold pin core 120 is provided with a protrusion 142 and a forming surface 143. The protrusion 142 is arranged at the center of the end face, and the shape and size of the protrusion 142 match the groove 122 of the first mold pin core 120. The forming surface 143 of the second mold pin core 140 is arranged opposite to the forming surface 123 of the first mold pin core 120. The forming surface 143 of the second mold pin core 140 is arranged around the end face of the second mold pin core 140. The shape and size of the forming surface 143 of the second mold pin core 140 match the shape and size of the other side surface of the pre-formed motor heat sink 300.

[0072] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the forming surface 143 of the second mold pin core 140 and the forming surface 123 of the first mold pin core 120 are arranged in opposite spacing to form the body forming cavity 160 of the motor heat sink 300. See Figure 5It can be known that the first mold core 120 or the second mold core 140 is provided with a glue inlet hole 170, material flows from the glue inlet hole 170 to the body forming mold cavity 160, and flows from the body forming mold cavity 160 to the blade forming cavity 151 of the blade forming block 150, and the body forming mold cavity 160 and the blade forming cavity 151 jointly form the motor heat dissipation piece 300.

[0073] In an embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 1 , the upper and lower sides of the groove of the first cooling water channel 121 formed on the first mold core 120 are respectively provided with a ring-shaped groove, and two sealing rings 180 are installed in the two ring-shaped grooves, and the two sealing rings 180 realize sealing of the first cooling water channel 121; the upper and lower sides of the groove of the second cooling water channel 141 formed on the second mold core 140 are respectively provided with a ring-shaped groove, and two sealing rings 180 are installed in the two ring-shaped grooves, and the two sealing rings 180 realize sealing of the second cooling water channel 141; the first cooling water channel 121 and the second cooling water channel 141 realize cooling forming of the pre-formed motor heat dissipation piece in the body forming mold cavity 160 and the blade forming cavity 151.

[0074] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the mold for manufacturing the motor heat dissipation piece 300 further comprises a heat shield 200, the heat shield 200 comprises a plurality of heat shield plates, and the heat shield 200 is arranged on the periphery of the male mold core 110 and the female mold core 130. The outside of the mold is wrapped with heat shield plates, which reduces heat loss of the mold, especially in winter, prevents the mold from being affected by the external environment too much, and causes seasonal size change of the product.

[0075] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the first mold core 120 and the second mold core 140 are provided with an exhaust gap, and the blade forming block 150 is provided with an exhaust gap between the first mold core 120 and the second mold core 140. The water channel needs to be heated to 150 degrees when the mold is working, so the design of the ejector sleeve, the ejector pin and the like on the mold core needs to be designed according to the thermal expansion coefficient of the mold core material itself, and a reasonable matching gap is given, so that the mold can move smoothly after heating, and flying edge will not occur. According to experience, when the exhaust is designed, the exhaust needs to be greater than 0.02 mm to be effective. Figure 3, the connecting position of the product and the mold core is designed with exhaust, the exhaust gap is 0.2mm, the connecting position of the blade forming block and the mold core is also designed with exhaust, the exhaust gap is 0.02mm, the exhaust depth of individual products and individual positions is larger, even allows to run a little flash to ensure the integrity of the product, and finally the flash is removed by trimming the flash.

[0076] Continuing to refer to Figure 5 , the glue inlet hole 170 includes three, three glue inlet holes 170 are uniformly arranged at the end of the first mold core 120 or the second mold core 140 close to the body forming mold cavity 160. The above-mentioned all scheme selection plus the final injection molding process stability, finally shows in the product size precision and stability. Among them, the size 46.4+ / -0.05 is the most difficult size to achieve. Referring to Figure 6 、 7 , the size of the motor heat dissipation piece is shown in the figure, and the above-mentioned 46.4+ / -0.05 is the size of the outer diameter of the motor heat dissipation piece. Figure 6

[0077] First, in order to ensure the uniformity of the product, the present application proposes to use three-plate mold three-point uniform glue feeding, which can ensure the uniformity of the whole product glue feeding. Combined with the annular waterway and the surrounding 10 sliders (see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The 10 branches around the mold correspond to the position of the slider) to ensure the size of the whole outer circle 46.4. The difficulty of this product is that the size of the 5 groups of blades on the outer edge is all guaranteed to be 46.4+ / -0.05, and the CPK is stable at 1.33 or more. Because the material itself has high glass fiber content, the product made in this way still cannot guarantee the roundness of 46.4, so in actual production, compensation will be made to the mold after the mold is completed according to the actual measurement data to ensure the roundness of the whole outer circle, that is, to ensure the overall stability of 46.4.

[0078] In addition, the product height size 5.67+ / -0.05 is also a difficulty of this product, see Figure 7 Due to the structure of the product, the structure needs to be disassembled into parts, which may cause gas trapping problems. In order to solve the gas trapping problem, the present application makes a reduction of iron on the corresponding outer side of the mold to ensure the smooth exhaust of gas during injection molding, which can ensure the stability of the injection molded product, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 The ladder-shaped structure is formed on the blades around the heat dissipation piece in the figure, that is, the gas trapping problem is solved by reducing the material.

[0079] ​In an embodiment, the motor heat sink 300 is a glass fiber reinforced PPS heat sink. As an important component of high-speed motor, the material needs to be determined by considering mechanical properties, physical properties, chemical properties and process performance, etc. Through the comparison of various materials, the PPS glass fiber reinforced series plastic raw material is finally selected. PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) is a kind of thermoplastic special engineering plastic with excellent comprehensive performance. Its outstanding features are high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Due to the conjugation of benzene ring and the restraint of high crystallinity of sulfur atom, PPS presents non-polar or weak polar characteristics, so the electrical insulation, dielectricity and chemical medium resistance of PPS are also very prominent. PPS has good compatibility with many polymers and additives, and can be modified by various means to improve its mechanical properties and other properties. In this project, 65% glass fiber is added to modify PPS, which can make the plastic deformation smaller, the thermal stability better, the size more stable, and the high temperature resistance up to 265℃.

[0080] In an embodiment, 40% glass fiber can also be added to the PPS material to make the plastic deformation smaller, the thermal stability better, the size more stable, and the high temperature resistance up to 250℃.

[0081] In an embodiment, the material of the mold core of the present application is selected from UNIMAX high-quality mold steel material of Yesheng. This brand of mold steel has good toughness and good thermal strength, good resistance to thermal cracking and overall cracking, and the hardness after heat treatment can reach 58HRC. The melting temperature of PPS with glass fiber during injection molding should be above 300 degrees, which will generate a lot of gas to corrode the mold, and the high content of glass fiber will impact the mold core product during injection molding, which will wear the surface of the mold core.
