[0039] A method for automatically generating a processing drawing for a hot runner system, wherein the hot runner system includes a manifold and parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, comprises the following steps:

[0040] Step S1: Determine a processing reference point P0 and a reference direction angle θ0 of the manifold, wherein the processing reference point P0 is located on the reference direction straight line of the manifold;

[0041] Step S2: setting the expansion coefficient e of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold;

[0042] Step S3: Read the names of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, and the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold based on P0. n (x n ,y n ) and the direction angle θ of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold relative to θ0 n , where n is a positive integer;

[0043] Step S4: Based on the expansion coefficient e of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold and the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold based on P0 n (x n ,y n ), calculate the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold after expansion based on P0 n '(x n ',y n ');

[0044] Step S5: P n '(x n ',y n ') rotate θ0 relative to P0 and calculate the machining position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold n ”(x n ”,y n ”), where P n ”(x n ”,y n ”) The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, x0 represents the horizontal coordinate of the processing origin P0, and y0 represents the vertical coordinate of the processing origin P0;

[0047] Step S6: Calculate the machining direction angle θ of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold n ', where θ n The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0048] θ n '=θ n +θ0;

[0049] Step S7: According to P n ”(x n ”,y n ”) and θ n ', generate the hot runner system processing diagram.

[0050] This solution provides a method for automatically generating hot runner system processing drawings, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first step is to determine the processing reference point P0 and the reference direction angle θ0 of the manifold. The processing reference point P0 is located on the reference direction straight line of the manifold. In this embodiment, by determining the processing reference point P0 and the reference direction angle θ0 of the manifold, it is helpful to ensure that the processing position and direction of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold are determined relative to a fixed reference system. The second step is to set the expansion coefficient e of the position of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold. In this embodiment, since the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold may change their position due to factors such as thermal expansion during the processing, setting the expansion coefficient e of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold helps to ensure that the final processed part size meets the design requirements. It is further explained that the parts on the upper surface of the manifold include the main nozzle, cylinder, upper pad, manifold screws and temperature sensing device, etc., and the parts on the lower surface of the manifold include the center nail, hot nozzle, lower pad and positioning pin, etc. The third step is to read the part names on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold based on P0 n (x n ,y n ) and the direction angle θ of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold relative to θ0 n , where n is a positive integer. In this embodiment, by obtaining the names of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the diverter plate, the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the diverter plate based on P0 n (x n ,y n ) and the direction angle θ of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold relative to θ0 n , which is conducive to the calculation of the processing position and direction of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the subsequent manifold. The fourth step is to calculate the position of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold based on the expansion coefficient e and the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold based on P0. n (x n ,y n ), calculate the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold after expansion based on P0 n '(x n ',y n '), in this embodiment, the position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold are calculated based on P0 by using the expansion coefficient e of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold. n (x n ,yn ) is corrected, taking into account the position changes of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold due to factors such as thermal expansion during the processing, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent processing. The fifth step is to P n '(x n ',y n ') rotate θ0 relative to P0 and calculate the machining position coordinates P of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold n ”(x n ”,y n ”), where P n ”(x n ”,y n ”) The specific calculation formula is as follows: Wherein, x0 represents the horizontal coordinate of the processing origin P0, and y0 represents the vertical coordinate of the processing origin P0. In this embodiment, in the actual processing of the hot runner system, the parts need to be rotated to a specific angle before processing. n '(x n ',y n ') Rotating according to θ0 helps ensure that the parts can be correctly positioned and aligned during the actual processing. The sixth step is to calculate the processing direction angle θ of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold n ', where θ n 'The specific calculation formula is as follows: θ n '=θ n +θ0, in this embodiment, by calculating the processing direction angle of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, it is beneficial to generate the subsequent hot runner system processing diagram. The seventh step is to calculate the processing direction angle of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold according to P n ”(x n ”,y n ”) and θ n ', generate a hot runner system processing diagram. In this embodiment, by determining the processing position coordinates and processing direction angles of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, it is helpful to ensure that the parts are accurately positioned and in the correct direction during the processing.

[0051] This solution accurately calculates the machining position coordinates and machining direction angles for the components on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold, and automatically generates a hot runner system machining diagram based on this information. Compared to relying on manual drawing of hot runner system machining diagrams, this not only improves hot runner system production efficiency but also reduces human errors during the drawing process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the machining diagrams.

The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0053] e=1-(r*ΔT).

[0054] Specifically, the hot runner system mold is a key tool for the hot runner system injection molding. The various parts of the hot runner system will experience heating and expansion during the injection molding process, resulting in changes in the positions of the parts.

[0055] In one embodiment, when the diverter plate is made of steel, the expansion coefficient r of the steel is 12*10 -6 When the difference ΔT between the hot runner system temperature and the hot runner system mold temperature is detected to be 200°C, the expansion coefficient e of the parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the manifold is 1-(12*10 -6 *200), which is 0.9976.
