Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of special-shaped mold forming, and in particular to a method for forming an asymmetric special-shaped plastic part. Background Art

[0002] As attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the middle drawer front cover and the lower drawer front cover are the two most used plastic products on the 216 / 218 refrigerator. Since the two plastic parts are asymmetrical in structure, they are different in size and weight by 50 grams. The traditional design method is to design two sets of molds, and two injection molding machines are required for production. The injection molding machine requires a large investment, and the labor cost is rising. In addition, the market competition is increasingly fierce, and the cost is increasing sharply. How to achieve cost reduction, energy saving and efficiency improvement has become the research direction. If the conventional mold design method is adopted, it is impossible to achieve the goal of combining two molds into one mold. From the perspective of mold design structure, the sizes of the two molds are completely different, and symmetrical design cannot be performed. Secondly, the injection molding process cannot be adjusted. Because the weight of the two products differs by 50 grams, it is impossible to debug the production through the glue feeding balance process. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for molding an asymmetric special-shaped plastic part, so as to solve the problem that two sets of molds are used in the production of the existing middle drawer front cover and the lower drawer front cover, resulting in high cost and low efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an asymmetric special-shaped plastic part mold, comprising a mold body, a gate sleeve arranged at the top of the mold, and a lower draw-out front cover cavity and a middle draw-out front cover cavity respectively located at both ends of the mold, the gate sleeve is connected to a main runner plate downward, and the two ends of the main runner plate are respectively connected to a diverter plate through a hot nozzle, and the two diverter plates are respectively connected to the lower draw-out front cover cavity and the middle draw-out front cover cavity through the hot nozzle, the lower draw-out front cover cavity and the middle draw-out front cover cavity are fixedly connected with an oil cylinder, the diverter diameter of the diverter plate connected to the lower draw-out front cover cavity is 15-17mm, and the diverter diameter of the diverter plate connected to the middle draw-out front cover cavity is 13-15mm.

[0005] Further, using the mold of the asymmetric special-shaped plastic part described above to prepare the special-shaped plastic part comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. Before pouring, reset the oil cylinder of the mold body and close the mold body;

[0007] S2, set the pouring time to 4.3-6.3S, control the feed rate through the sequence valve, control the temperature of the hot runner to 190-230℃ through the temperature sensor, inject the molten plastic from the gate sleeve into the main runner plate, and then inject the molten plastic into the lower draw front cover cavity and the middle draw front cover cavity after passing through the branch runner plate;

[0008] S3. Wait for the plastic to cool and set in the mold. The cooling temperature is 28-32℃ and the cooling time is 32-34S. After setting, open the mold body and use the oil cylinder to pull the core. After the core is pulled, take out the lower front cover and the middle front cover.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. By adopting an asymmetric mold design structure, the common symmetric design problem in traditional technology is successfully solved, so that asymmetric special-shaped plastic parts can be produced in one mold, thereby reducing the number of molds and the complexity of production; 2. By using an independent hot runner diversion design, different hot runner pipe diameters are selected according to the weight of different products to control the feed amount, and then the pouring time is controlled by a sequence valve and the hot runner temperature is controlled by a temperature sensor, so that the pouring balance of two asymmetric plastic parts is achieved, ensuring the consistency and stability of product quality; 3. This method effectively reduces production costs, because there is no need to design and manufacture molds separately for each asymmetric plastic part, thereby saving the cost of mold manufacturing, and also reducing the number of injection molding machines required and reducing equipment investment; 4. Through integrated design, the production process is smoother, the production cycle is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved. At the same time, due to the optimization of the pouring process, the scrap rate of the product is reduced, further improving the production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
