Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile injection molding, and in particular to an integrated molding process of injection molding and painting of large-size automobile exterior covering parts. Background Art
[0002] As global climate change and environmental problems become increasingly severe, governments around the world are paying more and more attention to the sustainable development of a low-carbon economy. How to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction in the automotive industry is of great significance to the sustainable development of the automotive industry and economic construction.
[0003] In the transportation equipment manufacturing industry, which is mainly composed of automobile manufacturing, energy consumption in automobile paint shops accounts for about 70% of the total energy consumption of automobile production. The carbon-based emissions have a large base, and the task of green transformation is urgent. There is an urgent need to develop new short-process, high-quality and efficient painting technologies.
[0004] The key equipment technology and corresponding process technology of injection molding and painting integrated molding can not only improve the weight of parts and products and reduce manufacturing processes, but also save energy and reduce consumption, reduce environmental pollution and high-beat manufacturing, and has become a new trend leading the molding and manufacturing of automotive non-metallic parts. However, the injection molding and painting integrated molding process technology has not yet been applied in batches and on a large scale, especially the development of large-size automotive exterior panels is not mature.
[0005] For example, the patent CN116533436A discloses an integrated process for injection molding and painting of automotive interior parts, which uses ABS injection molding to form a skeleton and trim flash, and then sprays, injects PPT soft glue and sprays twice to form automotive interior parts. Although this process simplifies the process to a certain extent, it still requires secondary spraying and flash repair. The process is cumbersome and spraying is prone to environmental pollution, which does not meet the requirements of green manufacturing. Another example is the patent CN117774191A discloses an in-mold painting forming mold and an in-mold painting forming method, which forms a closed cavity for the painted product part inside it through the design of concave and convex molds, sealing plates, etc. After the product is first formed in the mold, the paint is injected into the cavity by a micro-opening method, and the parts are directly painted in the mold; although this method can save energy and reduce environmental pollution to a certain extent, the micro-opening precision requirements are high and the design is difficult, and it is very likely that defects such as flash will occur, resulting in a decrease in product quality.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the problems existing in the existing injection molding and painting integrated molding, realizing the integrated molding of large-size automobile exterior covering parts with complex structures is an urgent need for high-speed automobile manufacturing, and it is also a trend to promote the development of the automobile industry towards a low-carbon, green and sustainable economy.
