Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of blow molding equipment, more particularly to a foldable pet ladder forming mold based on hollow blow molding technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increase of pet raising rate, the demand for pet life auxiliary products continues to grow. The foldable pet ladder, which can help old, small or disabled pets to get on and off furniture such as beds and sofas, and has the convenience of storage, has become one of the mainstream products. At present, the core components of the foldable pet ladder shown in the figure are mostly produced by hollow blow molding process. This process is widely used in the field of plastic part manufacturing because it can achieve lightweight, integrated molding and lower cost. Figure 1

[0003] However, the existing foldable pet ladder forming mold and process based on hollow blow molding technology still has the following technical problems in actual production:

[0004] Poor adaptability of tube parison shape to subsequent blow molding: traditional molds mostly use circular tube parison feeding structure, while the components of the foldable pet ladder are mostly non-circular cross section. When the circular tube parison is blow molded into the mold cavity, the cross section is prone to uneven deformation, resulting in excessive local wall thickness deviation of the component, insufficient mechanical strength of the weak part, and difficulty in bearing the pressure of pet stepping. Long-term use may cause cracking and deformation problems.

[0005] Insufficient strength of component connection part: the folding function of the foldable pet ladder depends on the cooperation of each ladder step and the connecting shaft. The connecting part must have high rigidity to ensure the stability of folding. In the existing process, the connecting part is often blow molded simultaneously with the main body of the ladder step, resulting in a hollow structure in this area, which makes it difficult to meet the use requirements.

[0006] Unreasonable gas pressure control in blow molding process: in the traditional blow molding process, the tube parison needs to be punctured to release gas before the mold is closed. This operation not only increases the process steps and causes gas waste, but also leads to insufficient internal gas pressure of the component when the mold is closed, which cannot tightly fit the cavity, and is prone to form defects such as surface depression and corner material shortage. At the same time, in order to make up for the strength problem caused by insufficient gas pressure, the thickness of the tube wall needs to be increased, resulting in material waste and product weight increase, which violates the lightweight design requirement.

[0007] Low flexibility of product strength adjustment: different weights and breeds of pets have different mechanical strength requirements for pet ladders. However, the cavity structure of the existing mold is fixed, and only components of a single strength specification can be produced. If the strength needs to be adjusted, the mold needs to be redesigned and manufactured, which prolongs the production cycle and increases the cost, making it difficult to meet the diversified market demand.

[0008] ​In view of the above, we propose a hollow blow molding technology-based foldable pet ladder forming mold. SUMMARY

[0009] The present application aims to provide a hollow blow molding technology-based foldable pet ladder forming mold to solve the above technical problems.

[0085] Melt injection and cooling: start the melt feeding mechanism 04, the molten plastic enters the heating tube 136 through the inlet pipe of the heating tube 136, and the heating tube 136 keeps the molten plastic warm; at the same time, the motor 130 drives the ring tube 134 to rotate the threaded plate 137, which pushes the molten plastic in the heating tube 136 to enter the pre-storage tank 122 through the inlet channel formed by the ring tube 134, the circular table block 131 and the adaptive block 133, and the molten plastic in the pre-storage tank 122 flows into the injection cavity A21 along the rectangular tube cavity under the pushing force of the threaded plate 137, and when the injection cavity A21 is filled with molten plastic, the molten plastic in the injection cavity A21 cools and solidifies into a solid connection part of the two parts of the foldable pet ladder.

[0086] S3: preparation of rectangular tube parison with flat inner surface or vertical ribs;

[0087] Main body forming of tube parison: after the connection part is formed, the lifting mechanism 02 drives the lower mold 2 to vertically descend, so that the lower mold 2 is separated from the upper mold 1, the melt feeding mechanism 04 keeps feeding, the motor 130 drives the threaded plate 137 to continue rotating and push the molten plastic in the heating tube 136 to flow into the rectangular tube cavity through the inlet channel and the pre-storage tank 122, if it is a flat inner surface tube parison, the molten plastic falls along the flat rectangular tube cavity to form a rectangular tube parison with flat inner surface and closed bottom, if it is a ribbed tube parison, the molten plastic falls along the formed rectangular tube cavity with grooves to form a rectangular tube parison with several vertical ribs on the inner surface and closed bottom.

[0088] Gas input into tube parison: during the preparation of the tube parison, the gas from the external gas feeding mechanism enters the inside of the rectangular tube cavity to pre-charge a certain pressure of gas inside the tube parison, which reserves the internal pressure for subsequent blow molding.

[0089] S4: mold closing and blow molding

[0090] Mold preliminary closing and tube end closing: start the two translation mechanisms 03 on the frame 01, the movable ends of the two translation mechanisms 03 drive the left mold 3 and the right mold 4 to move closer to each other, during the movement of the left mold 3 and the right mold 4, the two sliding seats 44 first contact, and under the pushing force of the mold continuously closing, the two sliding seats 44 slide to the inside of the mold along the sliding groove Z43, the cutting knife 45 at the top end of the sliding seat 44 extrudes and cuts the top end of the rectangular tube parison, so that the top end of the rectangular tube parison is closed.
