[0002] In the plastic pipe manufacturing industry, large steel-reinforced polyethylene spiral corrugated pipes are widely used due to their excellent corrosion resistance, light weight, high strength and good drainage performance. However, this type of pipe faces many technical challenges in the manufacturing process of the flared part. The flared part is the key area of ​​the pipe connection, and its quality and performance are directly related to the stability and safety of the entire pipe system.

[0003] When dealing with the expansion manufacturing of large steel-reinforced polyethylene spiral corrugated pipes, the traditional injection molding process often causes defects such as poor coating, weak bonding, and unstable dimensions at the expansion part due to problems such as low melt flow rate, uneven filling, and fast cooling speed. These problems not only affect the appearance and service life of the pipe, but may also cause safety hazards such as leakage in actual applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present invention will be described in detail below, and the characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more distinct with the description.

[0042] The present invention provides an injection molding process for expanding a large steel-belt reinforced polyethylene spiral corrugated pipe, the injection molding process comprising the following steps:

[0043] Step 1, drying the linear polyethylene blended with recycled materials;

[0044] Step 2: Add high-density polyethylene to the dried linear polyethylene blending recycled material, and then perform injection molding and pressure-holding molding in sequence to obtain a large steel belt reinforced polyethylene spiral corrugated pipe expansion.

[0045] The above steps are described in detail below.

[0046] In step 1, drying is performed in an oven.

[0047] The linear polyethylene blended recycled material is dried at 100-120°C for 3-5 hours.

[0048] Preferably, the linear polyethylene blending recycled material is dried at 110° C. for 4 hours to remove moisture and other impurities therein.

[0049] In step 2, the ratio of the amount of the recycled linear polyethylene blending material to the amount of the high-density polyethylene pipe material added is 10-20%:1.

[0050] The recycled materials for polyethylene blending meet the standards.

[0051] Before the injection molding operation, the mold needs to be cleaned, dried and heated to ensure that the mold is in good working condition.

[0052] The barrel temperature of the injection molding machine is set to six zones, from the hopper to the storage cylinder, which are set to 180-195°C, 195-205°C, 200-210°C, 205-215°C, 210-220°C, and 215-225°C respectively. The storage cylinder temperature is set to four zone temperatures, which are set to 195-205°C, 200-210°C, 205-215°C, and 210-220°C respectively. The nozzle temperature is set to two zone temperatures, which are set to 205-215°C and 210-220°C respectively. The mold is not heated.

[0053] Preferably, the barrel temperature of the injection molding machine is set to six zones, from the hopper to the storage cylinder, which are set to 190°C, 200°C, 205°C, 210°C, 215°C, and 220°C in sequence; the storage cylinder temperature is set to four zone temperatures, which are set to 200°C, 205°C, 210°C, and 215°C in sequence; the nozzle temperature is set to two zone temperatures, which are set to 210°C and 215°C in sequence; the mold is not heated to ensure that the raw material is plasticized and melted in the barrel.

[0054] The injection molding adopts six-stage segmented injection: the pressure of the first-stage injection is 60-80%, the speed of the first-stage injection is 70-80%, and the position of the first-stage injection is 300-400 mm.

[0055] The pressure of the second-stage injection is 80-100%, the speed of the second-stage injection is 90-100%, and the position of the second-stage injection is 100-200 mm.

[0056] The pressure of the third-level injection is 50-70%, the speed of the third-level injection is 50-70%, and the position of the third-level injection is 80-100 mm.

[0057] The pressure of the fourth-stage injection is 30-50%, the speed of the fourth-stage injection is 20-40%, and the position of the fourth-stage injection is 60-80 mm.

[0058] The pressure of the fifth-stage injection is 20-30%, the speed of the fifth-stage injection is 5-20%, and the position of the fifth-stage injection is 40-50 mm.

[0060] Preferably, the pressure of the first-stage injection is 70%, the speed of the first-stage injection is 75%, and the position of the first-stage injection is 350 mm.

[0061] The pressure of the second-stage injection is 90%, the speed of the second-stage injection is 95%, and the position of the second-stage injection is 150mm.

[0062] The pressure of the third-level injection is 60%, the speed of the third-level injection is 60%, and the position of the third-level injection is 90mm.

[0063] The pressure of the fourth-level injection is 40%, the speed of the fourth-level injection is 30%, and the position of the fourth-level injection is 70mm.

[0064] The pressure of the fifth-level injection is 25%, the speed of the fifth-level injection is 10%, and the position of the fifth-level injection is 45 mm.

[0065] The pressure of the sixth-level injection is 21%, the speed of the sixth-level injection is 5%, and the position of the sixth-level injection is 40mm.

[0066] The injection molding of the present invention is carried out by adjusting the injection parameters according to the method of filling at a slow speed at the beginning, a fast speed in the middle and a slow speed at the end. The injection molding adopted by the present invention can control the water ripple defect of the melt at the gate of the product at the beginning of injection, the fast speed in the middle can avoid the melt temperature from dropping too fast, and the slow speed at the end can avoid defects such as poor exhaust of trapped air, material shortage caused by burning, welding marks, etc., thereby ensuring the filling effect of the product and reducing surface defects.

[0067] After the injection is completed, the product is kept under pressure to prevent deformation or shrinkage. During the pressure holding process, the nozzle of the injection molding machine continuously feeds material into the cavity, and the pressure holding time is set according to the thickness of the product. In the later stage of pressure holding, the material density continues to increase, and the plastic part is gradually formed. The pressure holding stage should continue until the gate is solidified and sealed.

[0068] The pressure holding molding includes three stages: the first stage is to solidify the outer surface of the expanded injection part, the second stage is to prevent shrinkage, and the third stage is to solidify the cooling of the annular point gate of the branch runner. The best product quality can be obtained by controlling the pressure holding time and pressure in each stage.

[0069] The three stages of pressure-holding molding include: the pressure of the first stage is 20-40%, the speed of the first stage is 20-40%, and the pressure-holding time of the first stage is 5-20s.

[0070] The pressure in the second stage is 60-70%, the speed in the second stage is 10-30%, and the holding time in the second stage is 20-40s.

[0071] The pressure of the third stage is 10-30%, the speed of the third stage is 3-7%, and the holding time of the third stage is 50-70s.

[0072] Preferably, the three stages of pressure-holding molding include: the pressure of the first stage is 30%, the speed of the first stage is 30%, and the pressure-holding time of the first stage is 10s.

[0073] The pressure in the second stage is 65%, the speed in the second stage is 20%, and the holding time in the second stage is 30s.

[0074] The pressure in the third stage is 20%, the speed in the third stage is 5%, and the holding time in the third stage is 60s.

[0075] After the mold is closed, the injection pressure holding process starts immediately, and this stage needs to continue until the gate is completely solidified and sealed. The present invention not only greatly reduces the risk of defects such as water ripples on the surface of the product by finely controlling key parameters such as injection speed and temperature, but also effectively avoids the occurrence of burning by optimizing the material flow characteristics.

[0076] During the injection molding process, the present invention focuses on the control of the filling and shrinkage compensation stages to ensure sufficient filling and density of each part of the product. At the same time, through the use of multi-stage injection molding and multi-stage pressure holding technology, the residual stress is further reduced and the overall quality and performance of the product are improved. During the injection and pressure holding process, the nozzle of the injection molding machine continuously feeds material into the cavity, and the pressure holding time is set according to the thickness of the product. In the later stage of pressure holding, the material density continues to increase, and the plastic part is gradually formed. The pressure holding stage must continue until the gate is solidified and sealed. The present invention reduces the possibility of surface defects such as water ripples on the product by accurately controlling parameters such as injection speed and temperature. The use of a diverter annular point gate is conducive to the uniform flow of materials and prevents the occurrence of burning.

[0077] In addition, the injection molding process of the present invention also cleverly combines the rear-end exhaust technology to further optimize the molding process and ensure the high-quality output of polyethylene blended recycled material products. This series of innovations not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also significantly improves product quality.

[0078] It is worth mentioning that the molding process of the present invention does not require special equipment or harsh process conditions, has extremely high versatility and applicability, and can be widely extended to all aspects of the injection molding field, providing strong support for the efficient and high-quality development of the industry.

Before the injection molding operation, the mold needs to be cleaned, dried and heated to ensure that the mold is in good working condition. The barrel temperature of the injection molding machine is set to six zones, starting from the hopper to the storage cylinder, and set to 190℃, 200℃, 205℃, 210℃, 215℃, and 220℃ in sequence. The storage cylinder temperature is set to four zone temperatures, which are set to 200℃, 205℃, 210℃, and 215℃ in sequence. The nozzle temperature is set to two zone temperatures, which are set to 210℃ and 215℃ in sequence. The mold is not heated to ensure that the raw materials are plasticized and melted in the barrel.

[0130] Injection molding adopts six-stage injection: the pressure of the first-stage injection is 80%, the speed of the first-stage injection is 80%, and the position of the first-stage injection is 400mm.

[0131] The pressure of the second-level injection is 100%, the speed of the second-level injection is 100%, and the position of the second-level injection is 200mm.

[0132] The pressure of the third-level injection is 70%, the speed of the third-level injection is 70%, and the position of the third-level injection is 100mm.

[0133] The pressure of the fourth-level injection is 50%, the speed of the fourth-level injection is 40%, and the position of the fourth-level injection is 80mm.

[0134] The pressure of the fifth-level injection is 30%, the speed of the fifth-level injection is 20%, and the position of the fifth-level injection is 50mm.

[0135] The pressure of the sixth-level injection is 25%, the speed of the sixth-level injection is 7%, and the position of the sixth-level injection is 50mm.

[0136] After the injection is completed, the product is kept under pressure to prevent deformation or shrinkage. During the pressure holding process, the nozzle of the injection molding machine continuously feeds material into the cavity, and the pressure holding time is set according to the thickness of the product. In the later stage of pressure holding, the material density continues to increase, and the plastic part is gradually formed. The pressure holding stage should continue until the gate is solidified and sealed.

[0137] The pressure holding molding includes three stages: the pressure of the first stage is 40%, the speed of the first stage is 40%, and the holding time of the first stage is 5s.

[0138] The pressure in the second stage is 70%, the speed in the second stage is 30%, and the holding time in the second stage is 20s.

[0139] The pressure in the third stage is 30%, the speed in the third stage is 7%, and the holding time in the third stage is 50s.

[0140] The finished product is taken out of the mold and quality checked. If there are defects on the product, such as surface water ripples, burning phenomenon, weld lines, etc., the injection molding process needs to be adjusted and optimized.
