Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an injection molding equipment, and more specifically, to a first-in-first-out injection molding structure for composite pipe fittings. Background Technology
[0002] Existing composite pipe fittings are generally injection molded using specialized pipe fitting injection molding machines, such as Figure 1 As shown, the injection port 21A is located at the front end of the storage cylinder 200. After the plunger 300 moves forward for injection, the remaining material moves backward with the plunger under back pressure. Whenever new plasticized material enters the storage cylinder 200, the new material fills from the front end, and the remaining material cannot be completely ejected at the rear end. This results in the remaining material being stored in the storage cylinder 200 for a long time. The PE plastic will be subjected to long-term thermal decomposition, leading to (degradation) and carbonization. The carbonized material in the front part of the remaining material will mix with the new material in the next molding cycle and be injected into the pipe molding, thus affecting product quality. At the same time, whenever the production is completed and the remaining material in the storage cylinder is removed and the machine is stopped, the remaining material remains in the high-temperature storage cylinder for a long time. The PE plastic will be subjected to long-term thermal decomposition, leading to (degradation) and carbonization. After being discharged, it cannot be reused, increasing process losses and causing material waste. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a first-in-first-out injection molding structure for composite pipe fittings to address the aforementioned technical problems.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A first-in-first-out (FIFO) injection molding structure for composite pipe fittings is characterized in that the FIFO injection molding structure includes a storage cylinder, a rotary valve at the front of the storage cylinder, a tubular bushing and a movable plunger inside the storage cylinder, the plunger penetrating the bushing.
[0006] The storage cylinder has a filling port on its side wall, a pre-plasticizing component on the filling port, and an annular groove on the outer wall of the bushing that mates with the filling port.
[0007] The plunger is located between a starting position and an ending position, and the injection port is located at the rear of the starting position.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first single-sided gap is 3mm to 12mm.

The bushing screw holes are connected to the cover through a first fastening bolt and a first spring washer, and the storage cylinder is connected to the storage cylinder support through a second fastening bolt and a second spring washer.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first-in-first-out injection molding structure of the composite pipe fitting includes a storage cylinder 2. A rotary valve 11 is provided at the front of the storage cylinder 2. A tubular bushing 4 and a movable plunger 3 are provided inside the storage cylinder 2, and the plunger 3 passes through the bushing 4.
[0025] The storage cylinder 2 has a filling port 21 on its side wall, and a pre-plasticizing component 1 is provided on the filling port 21. The outer wall of the bushing 4 has an annular groove 41, which cooperates with the filling port 21.
[0026] The plunger 3 is located between a starting position K1 and a ending position K2, and the injection port 21 is located at the rear of the starting position K1.
[0027] The bushing 4 has a pre-set first single-sided gap M1 between its front end and the storage cylinder 2. The first single-sided gap M1 and the circumferential groove 41 form a circumferential flow channel S. The first single-sided gap is 3mm to 12mm. Preferably, the first single-sided gap is 7.5mm.
[0028] The storage cylinder 2 is provided with a storage cylinder support 5 and a cover 6 at the rear. The bushing 4 is provided with a plurality of bushing screw holes 42 on the rear end face. The bushing screw holes 42 are connected to the cover 6 by a first fastening bolt 7 and a first spring washer 8. The storage cylinder 2 is connected to the storage cylinder support 5 by a second fastening bolt 9 and a second spring washer 10.
[0029] The inner hole of the bushing 4 is fitted with the plunger 3, and there is a pre-set second single-sided gap M2 between the inner hole of the bushing 4 and the plunger 3. The second single-sided gap M2 is 0.02 mm to 0.08 mm.
[0030] The working principle of the first-in-first-out injection molding structure of this composite pipe fitting is explained below.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, first, confirm that the rotary valve 11 is in the closed state. The screw 12 of the pre-plasticizing component 1 begins to rotate and feed material. The plasticized material directly enters the circumferential flow channel S, resulting in uniform feeding, good flow, and easy air removal. Next, the rotary valve 11 opens. The injection molding section then advances as a whole, and the plunger 3 begins injection. Next, a pressure holding operation is performed, and the rotary valve 11 is closed. Finally, the injection molding section retracts as a whole, completing the injection molding process.
[0032] Because the injection port 21 is located behind the starting position K1, new plasticizer can be injected from the injection port 21 along the top of the plunger 3, continuously pushing the remaining material forward, thus achieving first-in, first-out (FIFO) plasticizer.
[0033] The first-in-first-out injection molding structure of this composite pipe fitting utilizes a circumferential flow channel, ensuring uniform feeding, good flow, and easy air removal. This solves the problems of long-term retention, decomposition, and carbonization of residual material. At the same time, it also solves the problem of product quality caused by the injection of degradable material into the pipe fitting. After production, the storage tank is emptied of residual material for reuse, improving material utilization.
[0034] Not limited to this, any variations or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
