Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of injection molds and relates to an injection mold for a paint bucket. Background Art

[0002] The more common paint buckets on the market include a barrel-shaped body, and the outer wall of the upper port of the barrel-shaped body has 2-4 layers of annular reinforcing ribs arranged along the height direction of the paint bucket. The annular reinforcing ribs are used to enhance the strength of the upper port of the paint bucket. There are also handle mounting parts on both sides of the upper port. The two ends of the handle are inserted into the handle mounting part to install the handle. Workers can lift the paint bucket upward by holding the handle. Since the handle mounting part needs to bear the weight of the entire paint bucket, the annular reinforcing ribs are provided to prevent the upper port from being deformed due to the heavy paint bucket. The barrel-shaped body of the paint bucket is integrally injection molded by an injection mold. The cooling system in the injection mold is used to control the temperature of the mold, which can quickly shape the injection molded product, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also affect the shrinkage rate, strength and surface quality of the product.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with patent number 202021655597.0 discloses a large paint bucket rapid prototyping mold, in which a first pipe is embedded in the inner wall of the molding groove, a second pipe is embedded in the inner cavity of the mold, and a connecting pipe is used to connect the first pipe and the second pipe. When in use, a water cycle is formed between the first pipe, the second pipe and the cooling box. This cooling system that uses a water channel to cool the inside and outside of the barrel is relatively backward, resulting in uneven cooling temperatures in various parts of the barrel at the same time, and as the water temperature rises, the cooling speed at the end of the water channel becomes slower and slower, resulting in uneven cooling and low cooling efficiency.

A gate water inlet pipe and a gate water outlet pipe are provided between the upper top plate and the barrel bottom forming block. The gate water inlet pipe is connected to the oblique water inlet pipe, and the gate water outlet pipe is connected to the oblique water outlet pipe.

[0007] The lower end of the sprue sleeve is close to the center of the outer bottom of the paint bucket. The center of the outer bottom of the paint bucket is cooled quickly by quickly cooling the sprue sleeve. At the same time, the sprue sleeve is made of 3D printing technology, and the sprue cooling channel is designed to be closer to the inner wall of the sprue sleeve, that is, close to the injection port of the injection needle tube, so that the injection port part is quickly cooled to accelerate product shaping.

[0008] Furthermore, the barrel outer bottom cooling assembly includes a central annular pipeline, an inner ring pipeline and an outer ring pipeline. The central annular pipeline is located inside the inner ring pipeline and is connected to the inner ring pipeline. An inner ring water inlet pipeline and an inner ring water outlet pipeline connected to the inner ring pipeline are provided on the upper top plate. An outer ring water inlet pipeline and an outer ring water outlet pipeline connected to the outer ring pipeline are provided on the upper top plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the barrel outer wall cooling assembly includes 4-8 barrel outer wall piping units distributed in a ring around the mold cavity, and the barrel outer wall piping unit is embedded in the movable mold. The barrel outer wall piping unit includes an outer wall cooling straight pipe, a plurality of upper arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves and lower arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves. The upper arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves and the lower arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves are staggered up and down, and the adjacent upper arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves and the lower arc-shaped heat-conductive sleeves are connected through the outer wall cooling straight pipes. The outer wall cooling straight pipes on both sides are respectively connected to the barrel outer wall water inlet pipe and the barrel outer wall water outlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the barrel cooling assembly includes an inner cooling pipeline, a middle cooling pipeline and an outer cooling pipeline. The upper end of the core is fixed with a heat conduction plate in contact with the inner bottom surface of the paint bucket by long bolts. The inner cooling pipeline includes an "e"-shaped central cooling part fixed on the heat conduction plate. The upper end of the central cooling part has a plurality of upwardly protruding cylindrical cooling heads, and the two ends of the central cooling part are respectively connected to a bent water inlet pipeline and a bent water outlet pipeline; the middle cooling pipeline includes a middle vertical pipe, an upper concave connecting sleeve, and a lower arc-shaped connecting sleeve. The inner ends of the two upper concave connecting sleeves are respectively connected to On a lower arc-shaped connecting sleeve, the outer ends of two upper concave connecting sleeves are respectively connected to the middle-layer water inlet pipe and the middle-layer water outlet pipe through the middle-layer vertical pipe, and the middle-layer cooling pipeline has two groups, and the four upper concave connecting sleeves form a circle; the outer cooling pipeline includes an outer arc-shaped cooling sleeve, an outer vertical pipe, and a lower straight connecting sleeve, and the inner ends of the two outer arc-shaped cooling sleeves are respectively connected to a lower straight connecting sleeve through the outer vertical pipes, and the outer ends of the two outer arc-shaped cooling sleeves are respectively connected to the outer water inlet pipe and the outer water outlet pipe through the outer vertical pipes, and the outer cooling pipeline has four groups, and eight outer arc-shaped cooling sleeves form a circle.

[0011] Furthermore, an octagonal mold bottom cooling water channel is embedded inside the lower end of the fixed mold, and the mold bottom cooling water channel includes eight mold bottom cooling pipes connected end to end and distributed circumferentially, the water inlet of the mold bottom cooling pipe at the head end is connected to the mold bottom water inlet pipe, and the water outlet of the mold bottom cooling pipe at the end is connected to the mold bottom water outlet pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the injection mold of the paint bucket also includes a slider ejection assembly, which includes an I-shaped top plate slidably arranged in the lower bottom plate, an inclined guide column fixed on the fixed mold and inclined outward, a molding slider and a limit block. The inner side of the molding slider is provided with an arc groove for molding reinforcing ribs and a molding groove for molding a handle mounting portion. The molding slider is sleeved on the inclined guide column and slides obliquely. Four molding sliders are combined to form a circular ring. A molding groove is provided on the fixed mold. The molding slider is located in the molding groove. The two ends of the molding slider are respectively slidably matched with two limit blocks. The limit blocks are triangular in shape. Translation grooves are provided on both sides of the limit blocks. The ends of the molding slider are embedded in the translation grooves and slide horizontally. A connecting rod connected to the limit block is fixed on the I-shaped top plate. Driving the I-shaped top plate can drive the connecting rod and the limit block to move up and down, thereby driving the molding slider to slide along the inclined direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the molding slider is equipped with a slider cooling pipeline, and the slider cooling pipeline includes a plurality of arc-shaped hollow heat-conducting blocks fixed in the molding slider, and adjacent hollow heat-conducting blocks are connected by bending pipes. The hollow heat-conducting block at the head end is connected to a sliding water inlet pipe, and the hollow heat-conducting block at the end is connected to a sliding water outlet pipe. A movable window is provided on the side of the fixed mold for the sliding water inlet pipe and the sliding water outlet pipe to slide obliquely.

[0014] Furthermore, the molded slider is formed by splicing a plurality of splicing inserts, and the arc groove is formed by combining two upper and lower splicing inserts. When forming the reinforcing rib, the air in the arc groove can be discharged from the splicing gap between the splicing inserts, which can solve the problem of air entrapment in the arc groove during high-speed injection molding; and the spliced ​​molded slider is convenient for installing the slider cooling pipeline inside itself.

[0015] The slider cooling pipeline is set in the forming slider, which can quickly cool the handle installation part and the reinforcing ribs. Through the cooperation of the oblique guide column and the limit block, the vertical top of the I-shaped top plate is converted into an oblique sliding, so that the four forming sliders move obliquely outward, first driving the paint bucket to rise together for a distance, until the reinforcing ribs and the forming slider are completely separated, and the paint bucket can be freely raised vertically, which is convenient for the subsequent paint bucket to be separated from the fixed mold. Since the sliding water inlet pipe and the sliding water outlet pipe move together with the forming slider, the movable window facilitates the sliding water inlet pipe and the sliding water outlet pipe to extend and connect to the external water source, while providing a certain amount of activity space.

[0016] Furthermore, a blowing mechanism for blowing the mold away from the fixed mold is also provided in the fixed mold, and the blowing mechanism includes a side wall blowing pipeline, a bottom blowing pipeline and a top wall blowing pipeline which are opened in the fixed mold and have an air inlet located on the side wall or bottom of the fixed mold. An air outlet insert is inlaid at the bottom of the molding groove, and an oblique air hole is opened on the air outlet insert for blowing air obliquely toward the reinforcement ribs of the paint bucket. The air outlet of the bottom blowing pipeline is connected with the oblique air hole, and a through top wall air outlet is opened on the heat conducting plate, and an air top block is provided in the top wall air outlet, and the top wall blowing pipeline is connected with the top wall air outlet. After air is supplied to the top wall blowing pipeline from the outside, the top wall air outlet can be opened to blow air toward the bottom of the paint bucket; an annular air duct is opened on the upper end surface of the core, and an air outlet gap facing the outside is provided between the annular air duct and the heat conducting plate, and the side wall blowing pipeline is connected with the annular air duct.

[0017] The lower bottom plate is provided with an auxiliary air path connected to the bottom air inlet, so as to facilitate air intake from the side wall of the lower bottom plate. The air cap block, as a common mold accessory, operates by precisely regulating the air valve and utilizing the air diffusion principle to enable the product to fall off quickly and realize efficient and automated operation. The air cap block of this application is a common mold accessory that can be purchased on the market. The three air blowing pipelines are all connected to the air pump through pipes. When the paint bucket is demoulded, the air pump is started to supply air to the side wall air blowing pipeline first. The air enters the gap between the paint bucket and the side wall of the core from the air outlet gap, so that the paint bucket expands, thereby achieving the purpose of loosening the side wall of the paint bucket and the mold; then air is supplied to the top wall air blowing pipeline, so that the air enters the gap between the bottom surface of the paint bucket and the heat conduction plate through the air ejection block, thereby achieving the purpose of loosening the contact surface between the bottom surface of the paint bucket and the heat conduction plate; at the same time, after the paint bucket is ejected for a distance by the slider ejection assembly, air is supplied to the bottom air blowing pipeline, and the air is blown obliquely to the paint bucket from the air outlet insert, so that the paint bucket is blown off the fixed mold.

[0018] All water inlet and outlet pipes are directly connected to the circulating water tank, and can also be connected to the circulating water tank of different water sources according to cooling requirements. After the injection mold is closed, the plastic raw material is injected into the mold cavity through the injection needle. After it is filled, the circulating water tank system is turned on, and cooling water is injected into each cooling pipe, cooling water channel, and cooling component at the same time to take away the heat in the mold and quickly shape the injection molded product. During demoulding, the injection molding machine drives the movable mold to separate from the fixed mold, and the paint bucket is still tightly mounted on the core. At this time, the air pump is started to supply air to the side wall blowing pipeline of the blowing mechanism, first to inflate the inner wall of the paint bucket and loosen it, and then to supply air to the top wall blowing pipeline to inflate the bottom of the paint bucket and loosen it. At the same time, the I-shaped top plate is driven upward by the ejection cylinder, driving the limit block to move upward, thereby driving the molding slide block to move upward along the inclined guide column until the paint bucket moves up a certain distance and the arc groove is separated from the reinforcing rib. Finally, air is supplied through the bottom blowing pipeline, and the air outlet insert sprays air to blow the paint bucket off.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the injection mold of the paint bucket has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. It has multiple independent cooling pipelines for rapid cooling of the mold. Multiple cooling pipelines are used to closely cool the outer bottom surface, outer wall, inner bottom, inner wall and reinforcing ribs of the barrel, so that the paint barrel can be cooled in all directions and at the same temperature. Since the cooling pipelines are relatively short, the cooling speed is very fast, and the cooling temperature and time are close, so that the cooling progress of each area of ​​the paint barrel is kept consistent, which improves product quality and production efficiency and accelerates product finalization.

[0021] Second, the air blowing mechanism cooperates with the slider ejection assembly to easily eject the shaped paint bucket and fix the mold and blow it off the core. The demoulding method is safe and efficient. Moreover, the paint bucket is expanded and loosened before ejection, which can protect the paint bucket well and avoid violent ejection to damage the reinforcement ribs, causing deformation or cracking of the reinforcement ribs.

[0022] 3. The sprue sleeve has an independent sprue cooling channel, which is made by 3D printing. Since the injection needle still has high-temperature plastic raw materials after injection molding, it affects the cooling of the bottom of the paint bucket. The sprue cooling channel is close to the inner wall of the sprue sleeve, that is, close to the glue inlet of the injection needle, which quickly cools the glue inlet part and accelerates product shaping.

The ends of the forming slider 113 are embedded in the translation grooves 117 and slide horizontally. A connecting rod 118 connected to the limit blocks 114 is fixed on the I-shaped top plate 111. Driving the I-shaped top plate 111 can drive the connecting rod 118 and the limit blocks 114 to move up and down, thereby driving the forming slider 113 to slide along the inclined direction.

[0052] like Fig.16 As shown, the molding slider 113 has a built-in slider cooling pipeline 12, and the slider cooling pipeline 12 includes a plurality of arc-shaped hollow heat-conducting blocks 121 fixed in the molding slider 113, and adjacent hollow heat-conducting blocks 121 are connected by bending pipes 122. The hollow heat-conducting block 121 at the head end is connected to a sliding water inlet pipe 123, and the hollow heat-conducting block 121 at the end is connected to a sliding water outlet pipe 124. A movable window 34 is provided on the side of the fixed mold 3 for the sliding water inlet pipe 123 and the sliding water outlet pipe 124 to slide obliquely.

[0053] like Fig.17 As shown, the molded slider 113 is formed by splicing a plurality of splicing inserts 1131, and the arc groove 115 is formed by combining two upper and lower splicing inserts 1131. When forming the reinforcing rib 141, the air in the arc groove 115 can be discharged from the splicing gap between the splicing inserts 1131, which can solve the problem of trapped air in the arc groove 115 during high-speed injection molding; and the spliced ​​molded slider 113 is convenient for installing the slider cooling pipeline 12 inside itself.

[0054] The slider cooling pipeline 12 is arranged in the forming slider 113, which can quickly cool the handle mounting part 142 and the reinforcing rib 141. Through the cooperation of the oblique guide column 112 and the limit block 114, the vertical top of the I-shaped top plate 111 is converted into an oblique slide, so that the four forming sliders 113 move obliquely outward, first driving the paint bucket 14 to rise together for a distance, until the reinforcing rib 141 is completely separated from the forming slider 113, and the paint bucket 14 can rise vertically freely, which is convenient for the subsequent separation of the paint bucket 14 from the fixed mold 3. Since the sliding water inlet pipe 123 and the sliding water outlet pipe 124 move together with the forming slider 113, the movable window 34 facilitates the sliding water inlet pipe 123 and the sliding water outlet pipe 124 to extend and connect with the external water source, while providing a certain amount of activity space.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixed mold 3 is also provided with a blowing mechanism 13 for blowing the mold away from the fixed mold 3, and the blowing mechanism 13 includes a side wall blowing pipeline 131, a bottom blowing pipeline 132 and a top wall blowing pipeline 133, which are opened in the fixed mold 3 and have an air inlet located on the side wall or bottom of the fixed mold 3. An air outlet insert 1321 is embedded at the bottom of the molding groove 33, and an oblique air hole for blowing air inclined toward the reinforcing rib 141 of the paint bucket 14 is opened on the air outlet insert 1321. The air outlet of the bottom blowing pipeline 132 is connected to the oblique air hole The heat conducting plate 32 is provided with a through top wall air outlet 321, and an air top block 322 is arranged in the top wall air outlet 321. The top wall air blowing pipeline 133 is connected with the top wall air outlet 321. After air is supplied to the top wall air blowing pipeline 133 from the outside, the top wall air outlet 321 can be opened to blow air toward the bottom of the paint bucket 14; an annular air channel 311 is provided on the upper end surface of the core 31, and an air outlet gap facing the outside is provided between the annular air channel 311 and the heat conducting plate 32, and the side wall air blowing pipeline 131 is connected with the annular air channel 311.

[0056] The lower bottom plate 4 is provided with an auxiliary air path connected to the bottom air inlet, so as to facilitate air intake from the side wall of the lower bottom plate 4. The three air blowing pipelines are all connected to the air pump through pipes. When the paint bucket 14 is demolded, the air pump is started to first send air to the side wall air blowing pipeline 131, and the air enters the gap between the paint bucket 14 and the side wall of the core 31 from the air outlet slit, so that the paint bucket 14 expands, so as to achieve the purpose of loosening the side wall of the paint bucket 14 and the mold; then, air is sent to the top wall air blowing pipeline 133, so that the air enters the gap between the inner bottom surface of the paint bucket 14 and the heat conducting plate 32 through the air ejection block 322, so as to achieve the purpose of loosening the contact surface between the inner bottom surface of the paint bucket 14 and the heat conducting plate 32; at the same time, after the paint bucket 14 is ejected for a distance by the slider ejection assembly 11, air is sent to the bottom air blowing pipeline 132, and the air is blown obliquely to the paint bucket 14 from the air outlet insert 1321, so that the paint bucket 14 is blown off from the fixed mold 3.

[0057] like Fig.18As shown, the paint bucket 14 of the present application includes a barrel-shaped main body, and the outer wall of the upper port of the barrel-shaped main body has 2-4 layers of reinforcing ribs 141 arranged along the height direction of the paint bucket 14, and the reinforcing ribs 141 are used to enhance the strength of the upper port of the paint bucket 14, and there are also handle mounting parts 142 on both sides of the upper port.

[0058] All water inlet and outlet pipes are directly connected to the external circulating water tank, and can be connected to the circulating water tank of different water sources according to the cooling requirements. After the injection mold is closed, the plastic raw material is injected into the mold cavity 21 through the injection needle 7. After it is filled, the circulating water tank system is turned on, and cooling water is injected into each cooling pipe, cooling water channel, and cooling component at the same time to take away the heat in the mold and quickly shape the injection molded product. During demolding, the injection molding machine drives the movable mold 2 to separate from the fixed mold 3, the paint bucket 14 is still tightly wrapped on the core 31, and the reinforcing rib 141 is stuck in the arc groove 115, and the paint bucket 14 and the fixed mold 3 cannot be separated temporarily. At this time, the air pump is started to supply air to the side wall blowing pipe 131 of the blowing mechanism 13, so as to preferentially inflate the inner side wall of the paint bucket 14 and loosen it, and then supply air to the top wall blowing pipe 133, so as to inflate the bottom of the paint bucket 14 and loosen it, and at the same time, the I-shaped top plate 111 is driven upward by the ejection cylinder, driving the limit block 114 upward, thereby driving the forming slide block 113 to move upward along the inclined guide column 112, until the paint bucket 14 moves up a certain distance, and the arc groove 115 is separated from the reinforcing rib 141, and finally air is supplied through the bottom blowing pipe 132, and the air outlet insert 1321 sprays air to blow the paint bucket 14 off.
