Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of injection molding cooling, and in particular relates to a cooling device and a method for injection molding of automobile plastic parts. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding is a production technology widely used in automobile manufacturing, especially for mass production of plastic parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements.

[0025] Preferably, the cooling method in the injection molding of automobile plastic parts comprises the following steps:

[0026] S1. Mold closing and injection molding. The molten plastic enters the injection molding machine frame through the hopper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a cooling device for injection molding of automobile plastic parts comprises an injection molding frame 1, a fixed mold plate 11, a movable mold plate 12, a cooling unit 2 and a mold clamping propulsion unit 13, wherein the fixed mold plate 11 is vertically fixed to one side of the upper end surface of the injection molding frame 1, the movable mold plate 12 is arranged parallel to the fixed mold plate 11 and is slidably installed with the injection molding frame 1, and the movable mold plate 12 can be sealed and slidably assembled with the fixed mold plate 11, thereby forming a sealed injection molding cavity for automobile parts; the mold clamping propulsion unit 13 is horizontally fixed to the other side of the upper end surface of the injection molding frame 1, and the output end of the mold clamping propulsion unit 13 is connected to the movable mold plate 12, and the mold clamping propulsion unit 13 is mainly used to provide a driving force for horizontal displacement of the movable mold plate 12;

[0042] The cooling unit 2 is fixed to an end surface of the movable plate 12 away from the fixed plate 11;

[0043] The cooling unit 2 includes a cooling plate 3, which is assembled in parallel on the movable template 12, and can be assembled in close contact with the cooling plate 3, so that heat can be quickly transferred from the movable template 12 to the cooling plate 3, and then the heat is taken away by the coolant in the cooling plate 3. A plurality of cooling columns 4 are evenly distributed on one side of the cooling plate 3, and a guide groove 14 corresponding to the cooling columns 4 is opened in the movable template 12, and the cooling columns 4 can be plugged and assembled in the guide groove 14 one by one; a guide plate 21 is fixed on the other side of the cooling plate 3, and a cooling pipe 22 is horizontally fixed in the middle of the guide plate 21, and one end of the cooling pipe 22 is slidably connected in the mold pushing unit 13, and the cooling pipe 22 is connected to an external liquid supply pump for pumping the coolant into the cooling plate 3 through the cooling pipe 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, a liquid inlet pipe 23 and a liquid discharge pipe 24 are fixed in the guide plate 21, the liquid inlet pipe 23 is connected to a plurality of first branch pipes, the liquid discharge pipe 24 is connected to a plurality of second branch pipes, and the other ends of the first branch pipes and the second branch pipes are connected to the cooling columns 4; therefore, the liquid inlet pipe 23 can transport the coolant to the cooling columns 4 through the first branch pipes, and the coolant is circulated and discharged into the liquid discharge pipe 24 through the second branch pipes;

[0045] The liquid inlet pipe 23 is connected to a coolant delivery pipe and a hot oil pipe through a tee (not shown in the figure), wherein the coolant delivery pipe and the cooling pipe 22 are independently arranged, and can respectively deliver coolants of different temperatures, and the hot oil pipe is mainly used to provide high-temperature hot oil, so that the movable template 12 can be internally preheated through each cooling column 4 at the initial stage of injection molding, so that the movable template 12 can reach the working temperature faster, thereby improving the flow performance of the molten plastic in the injection cavity and reducing defects such as bubbles and shrinkage holes that may occur during the filling process.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, a heat transfer sleeve 5 is coaxially provided on one end of the cooling column 4, an inner flow tube 41 is provided at the center of the heat transfer sleeve 5, and a guide cavity 42 is provided in the cooling column 4, a through hole is provided on the side wall of the inner flow tube 41 located in the guide cavity 42, and the second branch pipe is connected to the guide cavity 42; the coolant can enter the cooling column 4 and then flow into the heat transfer sleeve 5, and then enter the guide cavity 42 through the through hole of the inner flow tube 41, so that it is discharged by the second branch pipe outside the guide cavity 42, so as to realize the circulation of the coolant;

[0047] A valve plug 43 is fixed on the side wall of the inner flow tube 41, and a valve ring is fixed in the cooling column 4. The valve plug 43 is slidably matched with the valve ring. A shaft rod 45 is slidably connected in the cooling column 4. When the valve plug 43 is sealed with the valve ring, the coolant cannot flow into the cooling column 4 for circulation, thereby realizing independent adjustment of each cooling column 4, so that the cooling column 4 at the corresponding position can be controlled to cool the moving template 12 during cooling molding.

[0048] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic driver 46 is fixed to the other end of the cooling column 4, and a magnetic piston is fixed to the end of the shaft rod 45; a compression spring is connected to one side of the magnetic piston, and the compression spring pushes the shaft rod 45 away from the electromagnetic driver 46 under the action of elastic force, so that the valve plug 43 is sealed with the valve ring in the initial state.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner flow tube 41 is rotatably connected to the heat transfer sleeve 5, a plurality of pin points 51 are distributed on the side wall of the heat transfer sleeve 5, and a spoiler sleeve 52 is sleeved on one end of the inner flow tube 41 located inside the heat transfer sleeve 5;

[0050] A guide ring 47 is fixed inside the cooling column 4, and an inclined groove is provided on the side wall of the guide ring 47. A connecting shaft 44 is rotatably connected to the shaft rod 45, and the inner flow tube 41 is fixed to the connecting shaft 44. A pin is fixed on the side wall of the connecting shaft 44, and the pin is slidably arranged along the inclined groove. Therefore, when the shaft rod 45 is in axial sliding adjustment, it can synchronously control the heat transfer sleeve 5 to slide. At this time, the shaft rod 45 can be deflected by the sliding action of the pin and the inclined groove on the connecting shaft 44, so that the spoiler sleeve 52 on the shaft rod 45 spurs the coolant in the heat transfer sleeve 5, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and accelerating the heat transfer speed. Therefore, in the extremely fast cooling of the cooling column, the electromagnetic driver 46 first drives the shaft 45 to slide in the direction close to the electromagnetic driver 46 in the first stage, so that the valve plug 43 on the shaft 45 is separated from the valve ring. At this time, the coolant flows into the cooling column 4, and then the electromagnetic driver 46 uses a controller (such as a PLC or a dedicated motion controller) to accurately control the current direction and intensity of the electromagnetic driver 46 in the second stage. By changing the direction of the current, the electromagnetic driver 46 generates electromagnetic forces in both positive and negative directions, thereby driving the shaft 45 to slide back and forth. At this time, the coolant can flow efficiently in the heat transfer sleeve 5 for heat exchange.

[0051] In this embodiment, a plurality of fine channels 53 are distributed circumferentially on the outer wall of the heat transfer sleeve 5, and the cross section of each fine channel 53 is a U-shaped structure;

[0052] The outer wall of the heat transfer sleeve 5 is in sliding and sealing contact with the guide groove 14, and the space between the heat transfer sleeve 5 and the guide groove 14 is pre-filled with heat transfer oil; the heat transfer oil can quickly transfer the heat of the movable plate 12 to the heat transfer sleeve 5;

[0053] A direct current hole 54 is provided on the side wall of the heat transfer sleeve 5 at each narrow channel 53, and a cavity 55 is provided in the middle of the lower end surface of the heat transfer sleeve 5, and each direct current hole 54 is connected to the cavity 55;

[0054] A sealing plate 56 is fixed in the guide groove 14, and the sealing plate 56 is slidably connected to the cavity 55. A partition plate is fixed at the end of the cavity 55, and a plurality of one-way row holes 57 are opened on the partition plate. Therefore, in the second stage of the operation of the electromagnetic driver 46, it can push the shaft rod 45 to slide back and forth, and the heat transfer sleeve 5 can be displaced synchronously with the shaft rod 45. At this time, when the heat transfer sleeve 5 slides to the side away from the electromagnetic driver 46, the heat transfer sleeve 5 can press the heat transfer oil into the narrow channel 53, and the heat transfer oil enters the cavity 55 through the direct current hole 54. When the heat transfer sleeve 5 slides to the side close to the electromagnetic driver 46, the heat transfer oil is squeezed by the sealing plate 56 and discharged into the guide groove 14 through the one-way row holes 57.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the heat transfer sleeve 5 slides axially back and forth along with the electromagnetic driver 46 under the push of electromagnetic force.

[0056] In this embodiment, a cooling channel 31 is opened in the middle of the cooling plate 3, and one end of the cooling pipe 22 is connected to the cooling channel 31;

[0057] The cooling plate 3 is evenly divided into a plurality of flow chambers outside the cooling channel 31, and a plurality of radial plates 32 are arranged and fixed in each of the flow chambers. The cross section of the radial plates 32 is an arc-shaped structure, and a plurality of radial holes 33 are opened on the radial plates 32;

[0058] The guide plates 34 are fixed between the flow-guiding plates 32 , and the plurality of guide plates 34 cooperate with each other to make the coolant flow in a serpentine shape.

[0059] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes 35 are provided on the outer side wall of the cooling plate 3, and the fixing holes 35 are sealed and connected to the outer side of the fixing holes 35, and each of the outer tube groups 36 is connected to an inlet pipe 37 and an outlet pipe 38. Therefore, on the one hand, the inlet pipe 37 can deliver the coolant into the cooling plate 3 through the outer tube group 36. At this time, the coolant passes through each flow cavity and is finally discharged from the cooling channel 31, thereby realizing an overall cooling and cooling method of gradually cooling from the outside to the center, so as to first cool the edge part of the mold and then gradually cool to the center. This method is suitable for automotive parts whose edges are prone to overheating or need to cool the edges first. On the other hand, the coolant can be sent into the cooling plate 3 through the cooling channel 31. At this time, the coolant passes through each flow cavity and is finally discharged from the exhaust pipe 38 on each outer tube group 36, thereby realizing an overall cooling and cooling method of gradually cooling from the center to the outside. The center part of the mold is cooled first, and then gradually expanded to the edge. This method is suitable for automotive parts that are thicker or prone to overheating in the center, such as: door inner panels, engine hoods, etc. Since the center part is prone to accumulate heat during the injection molding process, cooling the center part first can effectively prevent local overheating, reduce thermal stress and material deformation, and ensure its dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

[0060] A cooling method for injection molding of automobile plastic parts comprises the following steps:

[0061] S1. Mold closing and injection molding, the molten plastic enters the injection molding frame 1 through the hopper, and the movable mold plate 12 is driven by the mold closing push unit 13 to approach the fixed mold plate 11 and complete the mold closing; high-temperature hot oil is transported to each cooling column 4 through the liquid inlet pipe 23, so as to preheat the movable mold plate 12, and then the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity through the injection molding frame 1. After it is completely filled, a certain pressure is maintained to make the plastic evenly distributed and preliminarily compacted;

[0062] S2. Rapid cooling. According to the special forming positions of the formed automobile parts, such as reinforcing ribs and supporting structures, the cooling columns 4 at the corresponding positions are used to rapidly cool and reduce the temperature. The coolant enters the cooling columns 4 through the liquid inlet pipe 23. The cooling columns 4 at the corresponding positions are controlled by the electromagnetic driver 46 to separate the valve plug 43 on the inner flow tube 41 from the valve ring, and the coolant flows out from the end of the inner flow tube 41 to achieve circulation. At the same time, the electromagnetic driver 46 controls and drives the inner flow tube 41 to move back and forth at high frequency, and the heat transfer sleeve 5 can slide synchronously with the inner flow tube 41, so that the heat transfer oil fully flows in the fine channels 53 of the heat transfer sleeve 5, and the coolant flowing inside the cooling column 4 quickly takes away the heat, so that these areas are quickly cooled, initially finalized and thermal stress is reduced. The working frequency of the inner flow tube 41 is 20Hz-50Hz, so that the flow rate of the heat transfer oil can be adjusted in different frequency adjustments.

[0063] S3. Overall cooling, the cooling column 4 stops cooling operation, and according to the requirements of component cooling and molding, a gradual cooling method from the center to the outside or from the outside to the center is adopted. The coolant enters the flow cavity of the cooling plate 3 and fully diffuses and flows to ensure uniform cooling and no excessive cooling to cause stress concentration. After the predetermined cooling time is reached, the cooling system is turned off; therefore, the cooling process is divided into two stages and specifically adjusted according to the cooling requirements of component molding, which effectively improves the cooling molding efficiency, reduces the cooling blind area, and further improves the cooling effect;

[0064] S4. The mold pushing unit 13 moves in the reverse direction, so that the movable mold plate 12 is separated from the fixed mold plate 11, and the molded plastic parts are taken out.

[0065] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
