Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molds, in particular to a multi-color integrated injection mold. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding, also known as injection molding, is a molding method that combines injection and molding. The advantages of injection molding are fast production speed, high efficiency, automated operation, a wide variety of colors, shapes from simple to complex, sizes from large to small, and precise product size. The product is easy to update and can be made into complex-shaped parts. Injection molding is suitable for mass production and complex-shaped products and other molding and processing fields.

[0003] Injection mold is a tool for producing plastic products. It is also a tool that gives plastic products a complete structure and precise size. When using injection molds for molding, the completely molten plastic material is stirred by a screw at a certain temperature and injected into the mold cavity with high pressure. After cooling and solidification, the molded product is obtained. Injection molds are suitable for mass production of parts with complex shapes and are one of the important processing methods.

[0004] Three-color plastic parts refer to plastic parts with a clear boundary between two colors of plastic. The molding method of using two or more injection systems to inject different types or colors of plastic into the mold simultaneously or successively is called three-color injection molding, and the mold used is called three-color injection molding mold. As people's requirements for the appearance and function of plastic products continue to increase, the demand for three-color molds is increasing.
