Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of injection molds, in particular to a water channel structure for a threaded core mold. Background Art
[0002] 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.
[0003] The injection mold is mainly composed of a movable mold and a fixed mold, as well as a pouring system, a temperature control system, molding parts and structural parts. Among them, the pouring system and molding parts need to be in direct contact with the injection molding raw materials, and need to change with the quality requirements of the raw materials and products. The pouring system refers to the flow channel part before the raw material enters the cavity from the nozzle, including the main channel, cold material hole, branch channel and gate, etc. The raw material is injected into the injection mold after heating, and after cooling and pressing of the injection mold, it falls off from the mold to complete the molding process.
[0004] Due to the wide variety of plastics and processing methods, the structures of plastic molding machines and plastic products vary in complexity, so the types and structures of plastic molds are also diverse. Plastic molds are needed for production and processing in various fields such as industry and life. Many products in the cosmetics field are packaged in plastic products. For example, cosmetic pens are products formed by plastic molds. The surface requirements of the pen cap of cosmetic pens are very high. When designing the mold, backflow is used to inject glue (the flow channel must be injected from the core). Therefore, during the production process, the small core (about 7.5mm in diameter) has a flow channel passing through it, and the core temperature is high. Therefore, the core needs to be effectively cooled to ensure the normal operation of the mold.
[0005] For example, the Chinese patent application number is 201920214185.4, the authorization announcement number is CN209633655U, and the name is a plastic mold with a cooling water channel structure for a male mold core. The above patent discloses a plastic mold with a cooling water channel structure for a male mold core, including an upper mold base, a lower mold base, a front mold core, and a rear mold core. The front mold core and the rear mold core are provided with inserts, and a cavity is provided between the insert and the front mold core. An ejector pin is provided in the lower mold base, and the insert A first clearance hole for the ejector to pass through is provided through the lower die base, a water collecting block is provided in the lower die base, the water collecting block is provided with a second clearance hole coaxial with and communicated with the first clearance hole, a cooling hole for the water collecting block to extend into is provided at the bottom of the insert along its length direction, two cooling water grooves are provided on the outer wall of the water collecting block along its length direction, a rotating water groove connecting the two cooling water grooves is provided at one end of the water collecting block near the cavity, and a water inlet and a water outlet communicated with the two cooling water grooves are respectively provided in the lower die base.
[0006] The above-mentioned water collecting block is used to turn the circulating water into the insert. The circulating water enters from the water inlet, passes through the cooling water trough and the water transfer trough, and is sent out from the water outlet to act on the inner wall of the cooling hole of the insert to achieve a uniform cooling effect. It is well known that the injection mold needs to operate for a long time during the injection molding process. Therefore, the coolant inside the injection mold needs to transfer the heat inside the mold core continuously for a long time to achieve the effect of cooling the mold core. However, long-term circulation will cause the temperature of the coolant to rise. At this time, the cooling effect of the coolant entering the mold core on the mold core will be weakened, which will affect the cooling efficiency of the workpiece to a certain extent, and there are certain shortcomings.
