Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, specifically to an injection molding machine structure with an in-mold rapid cooling circulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines or injection molding machines, are the main molding equipment used to produce various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molds. They are classified into vertical, horizontal, and all-electric types. Injection molding machines heat plastic, apply high pressure to the molten plastic, and inject it to fill the mold cavity. They mainly consist of a mold mechanism and an injection mechanism. The injection mechanism heats the molten material and injects the liquid into the mold for molding. For example, Chinese invention patent CN115122566A discloses a horizontal injection molding machine for BMC raw material injection molding, including: a mold clamping part with a cavity; an injection part including a nozzle assembly, a barrel, and a plunger rod, the nozzle assembly being located between the mold clamping part and the barrel and communicating with the cavity and the barrel, the plunger rod being located inside the barrel and capable of moving along the barrel; and a feeding part communicating with the barrel, suitable for conveying raw material into the barrel. After molding in the mold, the injection molding machine needs cooling. Current rapid cooling technology uses microchannels within the mold for cooling through coolant circulation. However, current injection molding machines have the following drawbacks: Currently, most cooling methods rely on in-mold coolant circulation, resulting in a low mold temperature after molding. Consequently, during subsequent injection molding, the molten liquid cools down upon entering the mold, affecting its fluidity and leading to defects. This cooling method has certain limitations. Furthermore, during injection, the injection head needs to be inserted into the mold's injection port. Due to the relatively long injection tube, slight deformation is common, especially in horizontal injection molding machines where the injection tube tends to deviate slightly downwards. This causes friction between the injection head and the injection port during insertion, potentially resulting in scratches and other defects.

[0003] To address these issues, we propose an in-mold rapid cooling circulation system for injection molding machines. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, the temperature control structure can inject either cold or hot liquid into the microchannel coil, and a small air compressor is provided to discharge residual liquid. During molding, hot liquid can be injected into the microchannel coil to maintain mold temperature and ensure the fluidity of the molten liquid. During the cooling stage, the system switches to cold liquid, and during this switch, compressed air is blown in by the temperature control structure to expel the hot liquid. This recirculation of cold liquid achieves rapid cooling, preventing poor molten liquid fluidity due to low mold temperature during molding. Furthermore, rapid cooling during the cooling stage provides a more comprehensive cooling effect. The positioning and guiding structures work together to position the injection head. During injection, as the injection head is inserted towards the injection port, the frustum block inserts first into the conical opening. Once fully inserted, the injection tube remains horizontal, allowing the material injector to continue advancing. This ensures precise insertion of the injection head into the injection port, preventing friction and scratches caused by injection head displacement. Attached Figure Description

[0029] In use, the material is added to the hopper 55, the mold-closing power structure 9 drives the moving template 4 to move and close the mold, then the temperature control structure 3 injects hot liquid into the microchannel coil 210 in the fixed mold body 21 and maintains circulation, the propulsion structure 6 drives the material injector 5 to move so that the injection head 53 is inserted into the injection port 211, and then the molten liquid is injected. After completion, in the cooling stage, the four-way switching valve 35 in the temperature control structure 3 switches so that the air pipe 316 is connected to the main liquid inlet pipe 36, and the small air compressor 315 injects liquid into the microchannel coil 210. Compressed air is injected to discharge the hot liquid from the main return pipe 313. Then, the four-way switching valve 35 and the three-way switching valve 312 are switched to inject cold liquid and circulate it for cooling. After cooling is complete, the mold closing power structure 9 drives the mold plate 4 to move and demold. Afterward, the four-way switching valve 35 in the temperature control structure 3 switches, connecting the air pipe 316 to the main liquid inlet pipe 36. The small air compressor 315 injects compressed air into the microchannel coil 210, discharging the cold liquid from the main return pipe 313, completing the operation and awaiting the next injection molding operation. The temperature control structure 3 can inject either cold liquid or hot liquid into the microchannel coil 210, and a small air compressor 315 is provided to discharge residual liquid. During molding, hot liquid can be injected into the microchannel coil 210 to maintain mold temperature and ensure the fluidity of the melt. During the cooling stage, the system switches to cold liquid. When switching, compressed air is blown in by the temperature control structure 3 to expel the hot liquid, and then cold liquid is injected again for circulation, achieving rapid cooling and preventing poor melt fluidity due to low mold temperature during molding. Moreover, it can quickly cool down during the cooling stage, resulting in a more comprehensive cooling effect. In this invention, the positioning structure 7 and the guiding structure 8 work together to position the injection head 53. During injection, when the injection head 53 is inserted into the injection port 211, the frustum block 72 will first insert into the conical port 82. After complete insertion, the position of the injection tube 51 can be guaranteed to be horizontal, and the material injector 5 continues to advance. In this way, the injection head 53 can be accurately inserted into the injection port 211, avoiding friction and scratching caused by the displacement of the injection head 53 during insertion.
