[0002] The typical thickness of the lens of the automotive lighting high and low beam module is usually 25mm or even more than 30mm.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can realize multi-layer injection molding of thick-walled plastic parts. First, a first layer structure located in the central area of ​​the thick-walled plastic part is formed by the first fixed station and the first movable station, and then a multi-layer structure located on both sides of the first layer structure is alternately formed in sequence by subsequent fixed stations and movable stations, thereby realizing layered injection molding of thick-walled plastic parts, which can greatly reduce the injection molding cycle of thick-walled plastic parts. Taking the aforementioned product with a wall thickness of 25 mm as an example, when it is divided into 7 layers, its molding cycle can be reduced to one-eighth to one-twelfth of the cycle required for single-layer injection molding. At the same time, the present invention optimizes the setting mode of the flow channel, greatly improves the product quality of layered injection molding, and achieves simultaneous improvement of efficiency and quality.

[0015] 2. The present invention forms the light-emitting surface of the lens at the last station through layered injection molding. The existing light-emitting surface of the lens usually requires processing of complex and expensive microstructure patterns on the injection-molded product. The present invention only forms the last layer of the front and back sides of the product at the last station, so it is only necessary to set the optical microstructure insert at the last station.

[0016] 3. The present invention achieves the goal of producing high-quality lenses with low equipment investment and high efficiency by cleverly dividing the injection molding layers of thick-walled lenses and selecting the injection molding sequence that best conforms to the law of heat transfer. Both PC and PMMA are poor conductors of heat. The thermal conductivity of typical mold steel is about 29w / m2C. Generally speaking, the thermal conductivity of plastic PMMA and PC is not higher than 0.29w / m2C, and the former is 100 times that of the latter. Only by allowing the injected resin to contact the steel more can the heat of the plastic be discharged faster. The present invention first hits the core of the product, allowing the core of the product to cool fully first, and then superimposes the high-temperature resin on the formed part on the front or back of the formed part in turn. This method allows the last injection-molded product to still keep one side of the product in contact with the steel in the 2nd to 5th stations, continuously taking out the product heat, and one side of the newly injection-molded part will continue to contact the mold steel in the next station, continuously taking out the product heat.

[0017] 4. Due to the optical requirements of the lens, there are extremely high requirements for the shape accuracy of the light incident surface and the light emitting surface. The present invention, through clever design, places the two surfaces with the highest requirements in the last forming station. At this time, the core material of the lens has mostly been fully cooled, and the resin shrinkage is relatively fully compensated in the forming of the first layer. On this basis, the 2nd to 2n+1 layers are injection-molded in sequence, and it is best to inject the 2n and 2n+1 layers at the same time. The resin shrinkage of the previous layer will also be compensated in the injection and pressure holding of the next layer, which makes the forming process more robust, has strong anti-interference ability, and maximizes the forming window. At the same time, the light incident surface and the light emitting surface of the product are formed, and thick-wall injection molding is converted into general thin-wall injection molding, which greatly improves the shape accuracy of the optical lens. Even if the cavity shape of the light incident surface and the light emitting surface needs to be adjusted for some reason, it is only necessary to adjust the corresponding insert of the last station.

[0018] 5. The present invention uses multi-layer injection molding to first inject the core of the product, and then inject the two sides of the product in multiple layers, so that each layer of resin can be fully cooled, solving the problem of long molding cycle. The present invention uses multi-layer injection molding to inject the next layer on the basis of the previously fully cooled product part, so that the shrinkage of the previous layer of the product can be compensated during the injection molding of the next layer. Through injection molding compensation at multiple stations, the lens shape deviation caused by the natural shrinkage of the resin can be minimized. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] All even-numbered flow channels are arranged in one layer or multiple layers. For multiple flow channels of a single layer, they are distributed and arranged from both sides to the middle in the width direction in sequence. For multiple layers, they are distributed and arranged from the middle to one side in the thickness direction in sequence.

[0051] All odd-numbered flow channels are arranged in one layer or multiple layers. For multiple flow channels of a single layer, they are distributed and arranged from both sides to the middle in the width direction in sequence. For multiple layers, they are distributed and arranged from the middle to one side in the thickness direction in sequence.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second flow channel, the fourth flow channel and the sixth flow channel are arranged in one layer, and the third flow channel, the fifth flow channel and the seventh flow channel are arranged in one layer.

[0053] like Fig. 20 As shown, the second flow channel is arranged at the leftmost area on one side of the first flow channel, the third flow channel is correspondingly arranged at the leftmost area on the other side of the first flow channel, the fourth flow channel is arranged at the rightmost area on one side of the first flow channel, the fifth flow channel is correspondingly arranged at the rightmost area on the other side of the first flow channel, the sixth flow channel is arranged between the second flow channel and the fourth flow channel, and the seventh flow channel is correspondingly arranged between the third flow channel and the fifth flow channel.

[0054] The relationship between the number of layers and n of thick-walled plastic parts is that the number of layers is 2n+1, and the number of runners is the same as the number of layers.

[0055] When n is an odd number, the number of flow channels set in a single layer on one side of the first flow channel is an odd number, for example, when n is 3, 3 flow channels are set in a single layer, when n is 5, 5 flow channels are set in a single layer, when n is 7, 7 flow channels are set in a single layer, and so on.

[0056] When n is an even number and its factors do not include an odd number greater than 1, the number of flow channels set in each layer is an even number. For example, when n is 2, 2 flow channels are set in a single layer. When n is 4, 2 or 4 flow channels are set in a single layer. When n is 8, 2, 4 or 8 flow channels are set in a single layer, and so on.

[0057] When n is an even number and its factor includes an odd number greater than 1, the number of flow channels set in each layer is an even number or an odd number. For example, when n is 6, 2 or 3 flow channels are set in a single layer. When n is 10, 2 or 5 flow channels are set in a single layer, and so on.

[0058] Embodiment 2: Those skilled in the art may understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.

[0059] This embodiment provides a device and method for high-efficiency and high-quality injection molding of 2n+1 (odd number) layers of thick-walled lenses.

[0060] In this embodiment, the thick-walled plastic part is divided into a 7-layer structure and 6 injection molding stations are provided. In other embodiments, it is not limited to the 7-layer structure and 6 injection molding stations.

[0061] Figure 1 It is a fixed side view, which is a fixed side parting surface view of a monochrome six-station injection molding mold. The figure shows the appearance of the fixed side of the mold, and the positions of the first layer injection point gate 5, the second layer injection point gate 7, the third layer injection point gate 9, the fourth layer injection point gate 11, the fifth layer injection point gate 13, and the seventh layer injection point gate 17 are marked in the figure.

[0062] Among them, the first layer injection point gate 5, the second layer injection point gate 7, the third layer injection point gate 9, the fourth layer injection point gate 11, the fifth layer injection point gate 13 and the seventh layer injection point gate 17 are all injected by the screw on the fixed side to form the required plastic.

[0064] In this embodiment, the plastic required for molding is injected by the screw located on the movable side of the molding machine. However, it is also possible to inject the plastic required for the sixth shot molding by the screw on the fixed side through appropriate flow channel design. In order to ensure the pressure balance of the sixth station, the sixth shot and the seventh shot should be injected at the same time. This can prevent the parts formed in the first to fifth stations from being deformed under the pressure of a single force.

[0080] like Fig. 20 As shown, the gate / runner stacking method cleverly designed to achieve the above-mentioned forming sequence is demonstrated. The first injection molding runner 24 in the figure is a cross section of the runner formed in the first station. The thickness is about 3 to 6 mm and the width is 8 to 15 mm. The second injection molding runner 18 in the figure is a cross section of the runner formed in the second station. The main part of the cold runner is about 2 to 5 mm thick and about 3 to 5 mm wide.

[0081] Since the second injection cavity is located on the movable side, the main part of the cold runner is also located on the movable side. In order to make it possible to inject glue from the fixed side, a cold runner on the fixed side is designed next to the first injection channel, and the second injection channel on the movable side is partially extended so that the two overlap, thus realizing the connection between the hot gate on the fixed side and the cold runner on the movable side.

[0082] A new side runner structure is added to one side of the structure for forming the runner, and a side runner is formed in the side runner structure to connect the runner on the movable side and guide the gate to the fixed side.

[0083] The third injection molding runner 19 in the figure is the runner section formed at the third station. The thickness is about 2 to 5 mm and the width is about 3 to 5 mm. The fourth injection molding runner 20 in the figure is the runner section formed at the fourth station. The main part of the cold runner is about 2 to 5 mm thick and about 3 to 5 mm wide.

[0084] Since the fourth injection cavity is located on the movable side, the main part of the cold runner is also located on the movable side. In order to make it possible to inject glue from the fixed side, a cold runner on the fixed side is designed next to the first injection channel, and the fourth injection channel on the movable side is partially extended so that the two overlap, thus realizing the connection between the hot gate on the fixed side and the cold runner on the movable side.

[0085] A new side runner structure is added to one side of the structure for forming the runner, and a side runner is formed in the side runner structure to connect the runner on the movable side and guide the gate to the fixed side.

[0086] The fifth injection molding flow channel 21 in the figure is the flow channel section formed in the fifth station. The thickness is about 2 to 5 mm and the width is about 3 to 5 mm. The sixth injection molding flow channel 22 and the seventh injection molding flow channel 23 in the figure are the flow channel sections formed in the sixth station. The thickness of the main part is about 2 to 5 mm and the width is about 3 to 5 mm.

[0087] The sixth injection molding flow channel 22 is formed by the screw at the movable side, and the hot gate is directly set in the middle of the flow channel. The seventh injection molding flow channel 23 is formed by the screw at the fixed side, and the hot gate is directly set in the middle of the flow channel.

[0088] Fig. 20 It is the cross-sectional shape of the main part of the cold runner. The first injection molding runner 24 is a runner corresponding to the first layer structure 4. The second injection molding runner 18 is a runner corresponding to the second layer structure 6. The third injection molding runner 19 is a runner corresponding to the third layer structure 8. The fourth injection molding runner 20 is a runner corresponding to the fourth layer structure 10. The fifth injection molding runner 21 is a runner corresponding to the fifth layer structure 12. The sixth injection molding runner 22 is a runner corresponding to the sixth layer structure 14. The seventh injection molding runner 23 is a runner corresponding to the seventh layer structure 16.

[0089] Figure 3 and Figure 4The design of the rotary arm fork for ejecting the product formed in the first station and bringing it to the next station is shown. The rotational power is driven by a motor installed on the movable side of the mold. The ejection power is provided by the ejector rod of the molding machine. Two or more pins are set at one end of the built-in rotary arm 3 on the movable side close to the product, extending into the cavity next to the runner body of the first injection molding. The plastic injected from the first station will wrap around the pins. Under the action of the resin contraction force, the molded product will tightly hug the rotary arm. This ensures that the product is firmly fixed on the rotary arm and will not loosen during the process from the first station to the sixth station. After the injection of the sixth station is completed and the product is ejected, the complete product is removed from the rotary arm by a robot or manually.

[0090] In this embodiment, through multi-layer injection molding, the core of the product is first injected, and then the two sides of the product are molded by multiple layers of injection molding, so that each layer of resin can be fully cooled, thereby solving the problem of long molding cycle.

[0091] In this embodiment, through multi-layer injection molding, the next layer is injected on the basis of the previously fully cooled product part, so that the shrinkage of the previous layer of the product is compensated during the injection molding of the next layer. Through injection molding compensation at multiple stations, the lens shape deviation caused by the natural shrinkage of the resin can be minimized.

[0092] In this embodiment, the light-emitting surface of the lens usually needs to be provided with a complex and expensive microstructure pattern, and this design is only used to form the last layer of the front and back of the product at the last station. Therefore, it is only necessary to set the optical microstructure insert at the last station.

[0093] In this embodiment, both PC and PMMA are poor conductors of heat. The thermal conductivity of typical mold steel is about 29w / m2C. Generally speaking, the thermal conductivity of plastic PMMA and PC is no more than 0.29w / m2C. The former is more than 100 times that of the latter. Only by allowing the injected resin to contact the steel more can the heat of the plastic be discharged faster. This design first hits the core of the product, allowing the core of the product to cool fully, and then superimposes the high-temperature resin on the front or back of the formed part in turn. This method allows the product formed by the previous shot to still have one side of the product in contact with the steel in the 2nd to 5th stations, continuously taking out the heat of the product. One side of the newly injection-molded part will continue to contact the mold steel in the next station, continuously taking out the heat of the product.

[0094] In this embodiment, due to the optical requirements of the lens, there are extremely high requirements for the shape accuracy of the light incident surface and the light emitting surface. Through clever design, the two surfaces with the highest requirements are formed in the last station. At this time, the core material of the lens has been fully cooled, and the resin shrinkage is fully compensated in the forming of the first layer. On this basis, the light incident surface and the light emitting surface of the product are formed at the same time, and the thick-wall injection molding is converted into general thin-wall injection molding, which greatly improves the shape accuracy of the optical lens. Even if the cavity shape of the light incident surface and the light emitting surface needs to be adjusted for some reason, it is only necessary to adjust the corresponding inserts of the last station.

[0095] The challenges of forming thick-walled injection molded parts are the extremely long forming cycle and the shrinkage that is difficult to compensate. This embodiment cleverly divides the injection molding layers of thick-walled parts, designs the injection molding sequence that best conforms to the law of heat transfer, and combines the multi-layer injection molding method to achieve the goal of efficiently producing low shrinkage and high-precision injection molded thick-walled parts.

[0096] In order to solve the problem of thick-walled plastic parts in injection molding mentioned in the prior art, this embodiment divides the entire product into odd-numbered layers. Fig.14 The figure shows the cross-section of the product in two perpendicular directions when it is divided into 7 layers. Fig.23 The process shows the possible injection molding sequence of the layered design. The first layer structure 4 is injection molded first, and the second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8 can be injected simultaneously or sequentially, the fourth layer structure 10 and the fifth layer structure 12 can also be injected simultaneously or sequentially, and the sixth layer structure 14 and the seventh layer structure 16 can also be injected simultaneously or sequentially. The most suitable method can be selected according to the conditions of the equipment.

[0097] The second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8 cover the first layer structure. You can freely choose whether to inject the second layer structure 6 or the third layer structure 8 first, as long as the corresponding flow channels and injection ports are provided. If the corresponding flow channels and injection ports are provided, the second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8 can be injected at the same time. Fig.26 As shown, when the molding machine has injection barrels on both the fixed side and the movable side, two hot runners can be used to perform injection molding simultaneously from A and B respectively. When the molding machine has an injection barrel only on the fixed side, a runner cavity C can be opened to connect the injection cavities of the second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8. In this way, the purpose of simultaneously injecting the second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8 can be achieved by only injecting glue from A.

[0098] like Fig.25As shown, dimension h refers to the maximum wall thickness of a single-layer structure. The thickness of an optical lens used in a typical headlight can reach 20~35mm. h1 is the thickness of the first layer, h2 is the thickness of the second layer, h3 is the thickness of the third layer, h4 is the thickness of the fourth layer, h5 is the thickness of the fifth layer, h6 is the thickness of the sixth layer, and h7 is the thickness of the seventh layer.

[0099] The wall thickness of the first layer structure 4 needs to be larger than that of other layers, so as to achieve higher injection molding efficiency. In a preferred embodiment, the wall thickness ratio is that the maximum wall thickness of the first layer structure 4 is twice the maximum wall thickness of the second layer structure 6. For the second layer structure 6, the third layer structure 8, the fourth layer structure 10 and the fifth layer structure 12 of the middle layer, their maximum wall thicknesses are kept equal or at least close. This allows the middle injection molding layer to have almost the same or similar cooling curves. For the sixth layer structure 14 and the seventh layer structure 16, which are the surface layers of the product, the wall thickness is kept uniform and smaller than the middle layer. The typical range of the sixth layer structure 14 and the seventh layer structure 16 is 1.5~5mm.

[0100] Taking a PMMA product with a wall thickness of 25 mm as an example, the molding cycle can be shortened to 100-150 seconds by using the above seven-layer injection molding method.

[0101] This embodiment uses an odd-numbered layered injection molding method to greatly reduce the molding cycle, improve the surface quality of the plastic part, and meet strict optical requirements.

[0102] The thick-walled injection molded parts innovatively divided into odd layers in this embodiment require appropriate gate design. The clever gate design can maximize the advantages of short multi-layer injection molding cycle and fully compensated shrinkage of plastic parts. This embodiment makes injection molding of plastic parts divided into odd layers possible through clever laminated runner design. At the same time, the compactness of the gate is taken into account, and the gates are gathered in one place to the maximum extent. The subsequent laser cutting of the gate is very convenient. Minimize the residual traces of the gate after cutting.

[0103] Fig.12 The middle part is a thick-walled plastic part. For example, the lens of a car lamp mold has a thickness of 25 to 35 mm. If a plastic part of this thickness is molded in a single layer, the molding cycle can be as long as 20 to 30 minutes or even longer. Multi-layer injection molding, as an alternative to single-layer injection molding, can greatly reduce the molding cycle.

[0104] Taking seven-layer injection molding as an example, the molding cycle can be reduced by about 90%, and the product quality is higher and the optical performance is better. For the 2n+1 (odd number) layered scenario developed for multi-layer injection molding, this embodiment cleverly designs the gates and runners that can adapt to thick-walled plastic parts that are injected layer by layer from the inside out. By using the thickest first injection molding runner 24 as the basis for stacking, the gates and runners corresponding to the subsequent molding layers are superimposed on the back and front of the first injection molding runner, which correspond to the second injection molding runner 18, the third injection molding runner 19, the fourth injection molding runner 20, the fifth injection molding runner 21, the sixth injection molding runner 22, and the seventh injection molding runner 23.

[0105] By setting the first injection molding runner 24 to be the widest and thickest, taking the maximum thickness of 25mm and seven-layer injection molding as an example, the gate thickness of the first layer is 3-6mm, and the runner width has a wide range of selection depending on the product size. The goal is to allow the first layer of products to obtain sufficient pressure holding and shrinkage compensation. By setting the second injection molding runner 18, the third injection molding runner 19, the fourth injection molding runner 20, and the fifth injection molding runner 21 of the middle layer to be similar in size. The middle layers, which are already similar in thickness, also obtain almost the same pressure holding and shrinkage compensation windows. In the case of seven-layer injection molding, by setting the sixth injection molding runner 22 and the seventh injection molding runner 23 at the center of the already formed gate runner, because the three sides of the runner are plastic at this time, the heat dissipation speed is far less fast than direct contact with steel, which allows the heat cut-off time of the runner to be postponed as much as possible. Taking the 25mm thick seven-layer injection molding scenario as an example, placing the sixth injection molding runner 22 and the seventh injection molding runner 23 in the middle can extend the available pressure holding window by more than double. The longer pressure holding and shrinkage compensation time window puts the entire plastic part injection molding in a wider molding window, making the injection molding process more robust. The quality of the plastic parts is better and the industrial production is more stable.

[0106] Fig.21 and Fig. 22 The expansion of the gate-runner stack design is shown. Fig.21 It demonstrates the adaptation to 7-layer, 13-layer, 19-layer and other layered injection molding scenarios. Fig.11 The injection molding scenes of adapted plastic parts with 5 layers, 9 layers, 13 layers, etc. are shown.

[0107] This embodiment solves the problem of balanced filling and sufficient pressure maintenance of each layer of an odd-numbered plastic part by cleverly adopting a gate and runner stacking design structure, thereby minimizing the shrinkage of the final product.

[0108] In this embodiment, the gates of multi-layer injection molding are integrated in one place, so that the subsequent gate removal process is simple, the gate residual traces are minimized, and the impact on the appearance is minimized.

[0109] This embodiment widens the pressure holding window of the molding as much as possible by arranging the gate and runner of the last two layers to be formed in the middle of the existing runner, so as to achieve a stable and strong injection molding process and a higher and more stable product quality.

[0110] Embodiment 3: Those skilled in the art may understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.

[0111] This embodiment achieves the goal of producing high-quality lenses with low equipment investment and high efficiency by cleverly dividing the injection molding layers of thick-walled lenses and selecting the injection molding sequence that best conforms to the law of heat transfer. This embodiment greatly improves the molding efficiency of thick-walled plastic parts by injection molding 2n+1 layers at 2n stations, and achieves the purpose of accurately controlling the dimensions of important shapes by simultaneously injecting the outermost layer on the front and back sides at the last station, which is particularly suitable for the shape control of the light-entry and light-exit surfaces of thick-walled lenses.

[0112] This embodiment takes a thick-walled plastic part mold divided into 7 layers by 6-station injection molding as an example. The 7 layers and 6 stations are just an example of a preferred solution and are not limited to 7 layers.

[0113] The fixed mold 1 is a fixed side of a mold used for injection molding.

[0114] The movable mold 2 is the movable side of the mold used for injection molding. The movable side built-in rotating arm 3 is an electric rotating arm built into the movable mold 2. Figure 4 As shown, the arrow indicates the rotation direction of the spiral arm.

[0115] The first layer structure 4 is a product and a runner formed by injection molding at the first station, and the first layer injection point gate 5 is a point gate of the first layer structure 4 .

[0116] Since the fork pin of the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side is cleverly extended into the runner cavity of the first layer structure 4, after the first layer structure 4 is injected and cooled, the first layer structure 4 will be tightly stuck on the fork pin of the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side. When the molding machine opens the mold, the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side will be ejected from the movable mold and rotated 60 degrees, bringing the first layer structure 4 from the first station to the top of the second station. Then the ejected built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side returns to the movable mold 2, and at the same time brings the first layer structure 4 into the cavity of the second station. At the second station, the first layer structure 4 will keep in contact with the steel of the fixed mold 1 after the mold is closed, so that the plastic part can continue to dissipate heat efficiently. The cavity of the second layer is mainly on the movable side of the mold. The second layer structure 6 is superimposed on the first layer structure 4 by injection molding. The second layer injection point gate 7 is where the gate of the second layer structure 6 is located. In this example, the second layer injection point gate 7 is on the fixed side, but if the injection molding machine supports it, the second layer injection point gate 7 may also be set on the movable side.

[0117] After the second layer structure 6 is injected and cooled, the molding machine opens the mold, and the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side is ejected again and rotated 60 degrees before returning to the movable mold 2, while the second layer structure 6 is brought into the third station. At the third station, the second layer structure 6 will remain in contact with the steel of the movable mold 2 after the mold is closed, so that the second layer structure 6 can continue to dissipate heat efficiently. The cavity of the third layer is mainly on the fixed side of the mold. The third layer structure 8 is superimposed on the combination of the first layer structure 4 and the second layer structure 6 by injection molding. The third layer injection point gate 9 is where the gate of the third layer structure 8 is located. In this example, the third layer injection point gate 9 is on the fixed side, but if the injection molding machine supports it, the third layer injection point gate 9 may also be set on the movable side.

[0118] After the third layer structure 8 is injected and cooled, the molding machine opens the mold, and the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side is ejected again and rotated 60 degrees before returning to the movable mold 2, while bringing the third layer structure 8 into the fourth station. At the fourth station, the third layer structure 8 will remain in contact with the steel of 1 after the mold is closed, so that the third layer structure 8 can continue to dissipate heat efficiently. The cavity of the fourth layer is mainly on the movable side of the mold. The fourth layer structure 10 is superimposed on the combination of the first layer structure 4, the second layer structure 6 and the third layer structure 8 by injection molding. The fourth layer injection point gate 11 is where the gate of the fourth layer structure 10 is located. In this example, the fourth layer injection point gate 11 is on the fixed side, but if the injection molding machine supports it, the fourth layer injection point gate 11 may also be set on the movable side.

[0119] After the fourth layer structure 10 is injected and cooled, the molding machine opens the mold, and the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side is ejected again and rotated 60 degrees before returning to the movable mold 2, and the fourth layer structure 10 is brought into the fifth station. At the fifth station, the fourth layer structure 10 will keep in contact with the steel of the movable mold 2 after the mold is closed, so that the fourth layer structure 10 can continue to dissipate heat efficiently. The cavity of the fifth layer is mainly on the fixed side of the mold. The fifth layer structure 12 is superimposed on the combination of the first layer structure 4, the second layer structure 6, the third layer structure 8 and the fourth layer structure 10 by injection molding. The fifth layer injection point gate 13 is where the gate of the fifth layer structure 12 is located. In this example, the fifth layer injection point gate 13 is on the fixed side, but if the injection molding machine supports it, the fifth layer injection point gate 13 may also be set on the movable side.

[0120] After the fifth layer structure 12 is injected and cooled, the molding machine opens the mold, and the built-in rotating arm 3 on the movable side is ejected again and rotated 60 degrees before returning to the movable mold 2, and the fifth layer structure 12 is brought into the sixth station. At the sixth station, the fifth layer structure 12 will remain suspended after the mold is closed, because at this station, the front and back sides of the outermost layer of the product need to be injection molded at the same time. The cavity of the sixth layer is mainly on the fixed side of the mold, and the cavity of the seventh layer is mainly on the fixed side of the mold. In order to prevent the suspended plastic parts from deviating to one side under the pressure of the fluid, the sixth layer structure 14 and the seventh layer structure 16 should be superimposed on the combination of the first layer structure 4, the second layer structure 6, the third layer structure 8, the fourth layer structure 10 and the fifth layer structure 12 by simultaneous injection molding. The sixth layer injection point gate 15 is where the gate of the sixth layer structure 14 is located. The seventh layer injection point gate 17 is where the gate of the seventh layer structure 16 is located. In this example, the sixth injection point gate 15 is located on the movable side, and the seventh injection point gate 17 is on the fixed side. Such a runner is the simplest and shortest, which has obvious benefits for improving the pressure holding quality of plastic parts. However, if the position of the injection molding machine barrel does not support it, the sixth injection point gate 15 and the seventh injection point gate 17 may also be set on the movable side of the molding machine.

[0121] After the sixth layer structure 14 and the seventh layer structure 16 are injected and cooled, the molding machine opens the mold, and the movable side built-in rotating arm 3 is ejected again. The finished product is taken out from 3 by the robot, and the runner is removed in the next process to obtain the product. The rotating arm continues to rotate and enters the next molding cycle.

[0122] The above-mentioned forming steps can be extended to the case where 2n (even number) stations form 2n+1 (odd number) layers of thick-walled plastic parts. In this embodiment, 2n (even number) stations are used to form thick-walled plastic parts divided into 2n+1 (odd number) layers of thick-walled plastic parts by injection molding, which greatly improves the forming efficiency of thick-walled plastic parts. In the last station, the outermost layer is injected simultaneously on the front and back sides to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling the dimensions of important shapes, which is particularly suitable for the shape control of the light-entry and light-exit surfaces of thick-walled lenses.

[0123] This embodiment uses a clever mold design to set the outer shell, which has the greatest impact on the product's shape, at the last station, making it possible for two different screws to control the injection molding parameters of the front and back sides of the product (in the case of a lens, the molding parameters of the light-entering layer and the light-exiting layer are controlled separately). The goal of producing high-precision thick-walled parts with low shrinkage is achieved.

[0124] This embodiment solves the problem of heat dissipation difficulty in the core of single-color injection-molded products, long cooling time, and large product shrinkage by first injecting the center of the product and then injecting the front and back layers one by one. It achieves more efficient use of mold steel to cool plastic parts, greatly reduces the molding cycle of plastic parts, and the benefits of large-scale mass production are very obvious.

[0125] This embodiment sets the outer shell, which has the greatest impact on the product surface, at the last station, which greatly eases the machining accuracy requirements of the product cavity at the previous station. If there are scratches or roughness in the cavity at the previous station, it can be fully melted by the high-temperature resin formed by the next layer of stacking, which greatly reduces the pressure of mold maintenance.

[0126] In this embodiment, the shell that has the greatest impact on the product surface is set at the last station, and only the cavity of the last station needs to be processed with high precision, which greatly reduces the processing cost of the mold and the subsequent possible design change cost.

[0127] This embodiment solves the problem of short pressure holding window time and large product shrinkage of single-color injection molded products by first injection molding the center of the product and then stacking injection molding on the front and back sides layer by layer. It achieves the goal of fully holding the plastic parts in each layer and creates a molding condition that allows the next station to compensate for the shrinkage of the plastic parts in the previous station, so that the shrinkage of the final product is low, which is suitable for large-scale mass production of plastic parts with strict precision requirements (such as optical lenses).
