Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention provides a physical foaming molding injection device for an injection molding machine, particularly a structure that enables plastic and gas to be fully mixed and stirred, thereby saving process time, making products lightweight, reducing plastic costs, and being environmentally friendly. [Background Technology]
[0002] With the increasing diversification and customization of plastic products, foam molding products are being developed. These products are made by molding plastic containing microbubbles and then cooling and solidifying them. They have the advantages of being lightweight, highly tough, and noise-reducing. They can also save manufacturing time and reduce the use of plastic. They have been widely used in various plastic product manufacturing fields, such as shoemaking, blow molding, the automotive industry, and electrical appliances. Foam molding is divided into chemical foaming and physical foaming. Chemical foaming is made by adding chemical foaming agents to plastic, which pollutes the environment and cannot be recycled. Physical foaming, on the other hand, is made by mixing plastic with gas without the addition of chemicals, making the process environmentally friendly and the plastic product recyclable.
[0003] Conventional physical foam molding processes often suffer from poor sealing during the injection molding process when melting plastic, leading to gas leakage or insufficient pressure. This prevents the plastic and gas from being fully mixed and agitated, resulting in uneven distribution of bubbles within the foamed plastic and a low product yield. This problem clearly needs improvement. [Summary of the invention]
