AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The traditional two-platen injection molding machine template design has problems such as heavy weight, material redundancy, high energy consumption, stress concentration and unstable mold clamping accuracy, making it difficult to achieve a balance between lightweight and dynamic stiffness.

Method used

A two-plate injection molding machine template based on topological optimization design is adopted. By designing butterfly-shaped connecting blocks, hollow parts and reinforcing rib structures inside the template, the material distribution is optimized in combination with the variable density method, the redundant parts are reduced, the template thickness is adjusted, and the stress distribution is optimized.

Benefits of technology

Significantly reduce the weight of the template by 10%-18%, increase the bending stiffness by 15%-20%, and the torsional stiffness by 10%-15%, avoid stress concentration, reduce manufacturing and production costs, and improve mold closing accuracy.

Abstract

The invention relates to a two-plate injection molding machine template based on topological optimization design, which comprises a front plate, a rear plate and a connecting block, and the connecting block is fixedly connected between the front plate and the rear plate; the connecting block comprises a center block located in the middle and four extending blocks connected to the side face of the center block. The four extending blocks extend towards the four corners of the formwork correspondingly. A first cavity is formed in the middle of each extension block, a second cavity is formed between every two adjacent extension blocks, and a reinforcing rib is fixedly connected between every two adjacent extension blocks; a center hole is formed in the middle of the center block, pull rod holes are formed in the corners of the formwork, and the pull rod holes penetrate through the outer ends of the extension blocks. According to the two-plate injection molding machine template based on the topological optimization design, the weight of the template is remarkably reduced while the structural strength is kept, stress concentration is avoided through stress distribution optimization, more reasonable rigidity distribution is achieved, dynamic rigidity and structural design are optimized, and the manufacturing and production cost is reduced.
