Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of injection mold technology, and in particular to a large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of injection molds, with the booming development of industrial manufacturing, especially the continuous progress of industries such as automobiles, home appliances, and aerospace, the demand for large injection molds is showing an increasing trend. Large injection molds play a crucial role in product production across various industries due to their ability to efficiently and precisely manufacture large products. Taking the automotive industry as an example, automotive design aesthetics are constantly evolving, and luxury models have extremely high requirements for grille appearance, demanding a mirror-like finish, free of weld lines and orange peel texture.
[0003] Before the advent of large-scale inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection molds, the following methods were commonly used to solve the problem of grid injection molding. One method involved using a simple mold structure, with the front and rear molds connected by a common connection method. The product cavity was formed by a single mold cavity surface, and the placement of injection points was rather arbitrary, possibly with only a few injection points in certain parts of the mold. The arrangement of injection tubes also lacked a systematic approach. During demolding, a single ejection device was often used, relying on mechanical force to eject the product from the mold.
[0004] However, for the production of molds for large high-gloss grilles (large high-gloss grille specifications 1473×395×258mm, mold specifications 3450×1680×1661.5mm), conventional mold structures lack precise positioning and fit during mold closing, resulting in inaccurate product cavity molding and affecting product quality. Inappropriate injection point placement leads to uneven material flow during injection molding, easily causing problems such as bubbles and shrinkage marks. Complex grilles often employ multi-gate designs, which easily form weld lines at melt junctions, resulting in poor consistency. Inaccurate mold temperature control cannot guarantee uniform surface temperature of the cavity, leading to deformation and other problems during the molding process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to ensure precise mold closing, controllable injection pressure and flow, uniform cavity temperature, and rapid evacuation, thereby guaranteeing the quality of injection molded products and production efficiency, this invention provides a large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold.
[0006] The present invention provides a large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold with the following technical solution:
[0007] A large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold includes a front mold mechanism and a rear mold mechanism;
[0008] The front mold mechanism includes a first base plate, a fixed front base and a first mold base. The fixed front base is connected to the first base plate and the first mold base is connected to the fixed front base. The first mold base has a first mold cavity and a positioning protrusion.
[0009] The rear mold mechanism includes a second base plate, a fixed rear base, and a second mold base. The fixed rear base is connected to the second base plate, and the second mold base is connected to the fixed rear base. The second mold base has a second mold cavity and a positioning groove that matches the positioning protrusion.
[0010] When the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism are closed, the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove, and the first mold cavity and the second mold cavity cooperate to form a complete product cavity;
[0011] The front mold mechanism also includes a hot runner structure, which includes a wiring frame, a glue flow channel, and multiple injection tubes. The wiring frame is connected to the first substrate, the glue flow channel is connected to the wiring frame, and the multiple injection tubes are all connected to the glue flow channel. The product cavity has nineteen injection points, including ten side injection points and nine straight injection points, arranged in a set position. The glue flow channel has an inlet. A coordinate system is established with the center of the inlet as the origin, the length direction of the first mold base as the X-axis, and the width direction as the Y-axis. The center coordinates of the outlets of the nineteen injection points are (0, 76), (-273, 37), (273, 37), (-508.27, -31.26), (508.27), and (508.27), respectively. The values are: (-31.26), (34.5, -93.5), (1, -186), (-455, -246), (455, 246), (-211, 246.5), (-425, 243.5), (-270.92, 86.65), (-254, -246), (-640, -246), (211, 246.5), (425, 243.5), (270.92, 86.65), (254, 246), (640, 246), all in mm. The injection time of each injection point is set based on its distance from the origin. Injection points closer to the origin have earlier injection times. Each injection point is connected to an injection tube.
[0012] The front mold mechanism also includes a lifting device for product demolding and a vacuum device for evacuating air into the product cavity. The vacuum device is electrically connected to a control module, which is configured to control the evacuation time of the vacuum device to within 2 seconds.
[0013] The injection tube is connected to a pressure sensor and a flow meter for detecting injection pressure. Both the pressure sensor and the flow meter are electrically connected to the control module. The control module is configured to automatically adjust the vacuuming flow rate of the vacuuming device according to the filling speed, flow rate, and injection pressure of each injection tube.
[0014] Both the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism are connected to a temperature control device for controlling the temperature of the product cavity, so as to make the surface temperature of the cavity uniform.
[0015] Both the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism are connected to an integrated energy board, which has several interfaces for providing energy to each component.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism cooperate, and the positioning protrusion matches the positioning groove to ensure accurate mold closing, forming a complete product cavity and ensuring product molding accuracy. Multiple injection tubes in the hot runner structure inject the material into the product cavity through nineteen arranged injection points, ensuring uniform material injection. Hot nozzle inserts cool the injection tube outlets to prevent overheating of the material, reducing problems such as bubbles and shrinkage marks, and avoiding weld lines at the junction of complex grid melts. When the hot nozzles inject material sequentially, the injection pressure changes. At this moment, as the filling material enters the product cavity, the total volume of the product cavity changes. The control module automatically adjusts the vacuum device's air extraction flow rate value based on the filling speed, flow rate, and injection pressure detected by the pressure sensor and flow meter. The purpose is to ensure stable and rapid filling inside the product cavity, avoiding injection defects caused by short strokes, trapped air, or stagnant flow. Simultaneously, the control module must control the vacuum device to complete evacuation within 2 seconds, thereby ensuring high-quality injection molding of the product's surface (A). The temperature control device ensures uniform surface temperature of the mold cavity, guaranteeing product quality. The integrated energy board provides energy to all components, facilitating overall mold operation. The lifting device is used for product demolding. The injection method with nineteen injection points at specific coordinates allows for optimized injection timing based on the distance between the injection point and the origin, ensuring more orderly entry of the molten plastic into the product cavity. This results in more uniform and accurate entry of the molten plastic, reducing injection defects and improving the injection quality of large inverted high-gloss paint-free grids. The system integrates multiple functions, including front and rear mold mechanisms forming a complete product cavity, a hot runner structure for plastic delivery, a lifting device for demolding, a vacuum device for air extraction, a control module for parameter adjustment, a temperature control device for uniform surface temperature of the mold cavity, and an integrated energy board for energy supply.
[0017] Preferably, the mold closing clearance between the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism is no greater than 0.01 mm.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the accuracy of mold closing can be significantly improved, the possibility of plastic overflow during injection molding can be reduced, and the molding quality and dimensional accuracy of the product can be guaranteed; at the same time, it can support the operation of the vacuum device.
[0019] Preferably, the vacuuming device includes multiple vacuum pumps, a vacuum branch pipe, a manifold, a suction pipe, and multiple air passage top blocks. The multiple vacuum pumps are all fixedly connected to the first mold base. Each vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum branch pipe. The vacuum branch pipe is connected to the manifold, and the manifold is connected to the suction pipe.
[0020] Multiple air passage top blocks are respectively located at both ends of the first mold cavity along its length, and the air passage top blocks constitute part of the first mold cavity; multiple air intake ports are provided on the air intake pipe, and air grooves are opened on the side walls of the air passage top blocks. The air grooves are used to connect the corresponding air intake ports with the product cavity, and the depth of the air grooves is 0.02mm.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, during the injection molding process, multiple vacuum pumps fixedly connected to the first mold base are activated. Gas is drawn out of the product cavity through the 0.02mm deep air grooves on the side wall of the air channel top block, the air suction port of the suction pipe, and sequentially through the extraction branch pipe, the manifold, and the suction pipe. Multiple air channel top blocks are located at both ends of the first mold cavity along its length, enabling efficient extraction from both ends of the product cavity, ensuring effective extraction, and thus effectively removing gas from the product cavity, improving the quality of the injection-molded product. Furthermore, the air channel top blocks being located at both ends of the first mold cavity and connected to the suction port by air grooves of a specific width ensures efficient and uniform extraction without affecting the product, and contributes to improving the product molding quality.
[0022] Preferably, the device further includes a guide positioning device, which includes a positioning rod, a fixed shaft, and a bearing. The first mold base has a positioning slot and a mounting slot. The positioning slot matches the positioning rod, and the mounting slot communicates with the positioning slot. The fixed shaft and the bearing are located in the mounting slot. The fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the first mold base, and the inner wall of the bearing is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft. The outer wall of the bearing protrudes from the mounting slot. When the first mold base and the second mold base are closed, the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning slot and abuts against the bearing.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide positioning device can achieve precise positioning when the first mold base and the second mold base are closed. The bearing reduces the frictional resistance when the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning slot, making the mold closing process smoother.
[0024] Preferably, the rear mold mechanism further includes an active demolding device, which includes an elastic component and an elastic block structure;
[0025] The spring block structure includes a first spring block, a second spring block, a third spring block, a fourth spring block, a fifth spring block, and a sixth spring block. The first spring block and the fourth spring block are symmetrically arranged, the second spring block and the fifth spring block are symmetrically arranged, and the third spring block and the sixth spring block are symmetrically arranged. The second spring block is located between the first spring block and the third spring block, and the fifth spring block is located between the fourth spring block and the sixth spring block. The first spring block and the third spring block are each connected to one side glue inlet point, and the second spring block and the fourth spring block are each connected to four side glue inlets points.
[0026] The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth elastic blocks constitute part of the second mold cavity, and each elastic block is provided with a slot for forming a grid buckle.
[0027] The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth spring blocks are all connected to the elastic component. The elastic component is connected to the fixed base and is used to tilt the corresponding spring blocks, which tilt from one end of the fixed base to the other in a direction away from each other.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic component of the active demolding device is inclined and connected to the fixed base. When the mold opens, the elastic component generates elastic force, driving the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth elastic blocks connected to it to move away from each other, thus achieving active demolding and improving production efficiency. The symmetrical arrangement of each elastic block in the elastic block structure ensures the molding accuracy of the product; the slots opened on each elastic block can be used for molding grid fastening, simplifying the production process; the side inlet channel is opened on the elastic block structure, allowing the rubber material to smoothly enter the second mold cavity through the side inlet channel, improving product quality.
[0029] Preferably, the lifting device includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting plate, lifting rods, and lifting blocks. The lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first mold base. The lifting plate is disposed between the first mold base and the fixed front base. The first mold base has a movable groove for the lifting plate to move. The lifting plate is disposed in the movable groove. The side wall of the lifting plate has a protruding plate that extends through the first mold base to the outside. The drive shaft of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the protruding plate. Multiple lifting rods are provided, all of which are connected to the lifting plate. Multiple lifting blocks are provided and evenly distributed on the first mold base. The lifting blocks are fixedly connected to the lifting rods. The lifting blocks are all used to form components of the first mold cavity.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate, which in turn moves the lifting rod and the lifting block, thus enabling the product to be demolded smoothly. The lifting block, as a component of the first mold cavity, ensures the integrity of the product molding.
[0031] Preferably, the temperature control device comprises multiple sets of water pipes, each connected to a water source, with a distance of 25mm between the water pipe and the corresponding product cavity surface, a diameter of 15mm, and a spacing of 80mm between adjacent water pipes.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of water pipes are connected to the water source as a temperature control device. The distance between the water pipes and the product cavity surface is 25mm, the diameter is 15mm, and the adjacent spacing is 80mm. This uniform and orderly distribution can effectively make the cavity surface temperature uniform and ensure the injection effect of large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold.
[0033] Preferably, the first mold base is connected to a mold cavity temperature sensor, the mold cavity temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the temperature control device.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the mold cavity temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the surface of the first mold cavity in real time and transmit the signal to the control module. The control module controls the temperature control device to adjust the temperature of the product cavity according to the temperature signal, so as to ensure the precise control and stability of the product cavity temperature and improve the quality and molding effect of injection molded products.
[0035] Preferably, both the first mold base and the second mold base are equipped with a mold plate temperature sensor, and the probe of the mold plate temperature sensor is inserted to a depth of 200mm.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature deep inside the mold can be accurately measured, providing precise data for temperature control of the product cavity. This helps to control the product cavity temperature more accurately, making the cavity surface temperature uniform and ensuring the quality of injection molded products.
[0037] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] The front and rear mold mechanisms work together, with positioning protrusions matching positioning grooves to ensure accurate mold closing, forming a complete product cavity and guaranteeing product molding precision. Multiple injection tubes in the hot runner structure inject material into the product cavity through nineteen arranged injection points, ensuring uniform material flow. Hot nozzle inserts cool the injection tube outlets, preventing overheating of the material and reducing issues such as bubbles and shrinkage marks, while avoiding weld lines at the junctions of complex grid melts. As the hot nozzles sequentially fill the cavity, the injection pressure changes. This changes the overall volume of the product cavity. The control module automatically adjusts the vacuum device's suction flow rate based on the filling speed, flow rate, and injection pressure detected by pressure sensors and flow meters. This ensures stable and rapid filling within the product cavity, preventing injection defects caused by short strokes, trapped air, or stagnant flow. Simultaneously, the control module ensures the vacuum device completes evacuation within 2 seconds, guaranteeing high-quality injection molding on surface A of the product. The temperature control device ensures uniform surface temperature of the mold cavity, guaranteeing product quality; the integrated energy plate provides energy to all components, facilitating overall mold operation. The lifting device is used for product demolding. Attached Figure Description

[0065] A large inverted high-gloss paint-free grid injection mold, referenced Figure 1 and Figure 2It includes a front mold mechanism 1 and a rear mold mechanism 2, both of which are installed on a 2700T injection molding machine. The front mold mechanism 1 is fixed to the injection molding machine, and the rear mold mechanism 2 serves as the moving mold.
[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 4 When the front mold mechanism 1 and the rear mold mechanism 2 are closed, they can precisely cooperate to form a complete product cavity, and the clearance between the front mold mechanism and the rear mold mechanism is no greater than 0.01mm. The front mold mechanism 1 includes a hot runner structure 14, a lifting device 16, and a vacuum device 18. The vacuum device 18 is electrically connected to a control module, which is configured to control the vacuuming time of the vacuum device 18 to within 2 seconds. In other words, when the vacuum device 18 evacuates the product cavity, it can reduce the air in the product cavity to a preset range within 2 seconds. The hot runner structure 14 includes a pressure sensor and a flow meter for detecting injection pressure. Both the pressure sensor and the flow meter are electrically connected to the control module, which is configured to automatically adjust the vacuuming flow rate of the vacuum device 18 according to the filling speed, flow rate, and injection pressure of each injection tube 143. Both the front mold mechanism 1 and the rear mold mechanism 2 are connected to a temperature control device 3 for controlling the temperature of the product cavity to ensure uniform surface temperature of the cavity. Both the front mold mechanism 1 and the rear mold mechanism 2 are connected to an integrated energy board 5. The integrated energy board 5 is connected to several interfaces for providing energy to various components.
[0067] The hot glue channel structure 14, lifting device 16, vacuum device 18, temperature control device 3, and control module work together to ensure the molding quality of the product, improve production efficiency, and solve the problems of conventional molds in mold closing positioning, glue injection, demolding, and temperature control.
[0068] Reference Figure 1 The front mold mechanism 1 includes a first base plate 11, a fixed front base 12, and a first mold base 13. The first base plate 11 is the fundamental support component of the entire front mold mechanism 1, typically made of high-strength metal materials such as alloy steel. It is rectangular and flat, possessing good stability and load-bearing capacity. The fixed front base 12 is firmly connected to the first base plate 11 by bolts or other means, serving to connect the first base plate 11 and the first mold base 13. It is generally manufactured using casting processes and possesses suitable strength and rigidity. The first mold base 13 is fixedly connected to the fixed front base 12 and has a first mold cavity 131. The shape of this cavity is precisely machined according to the design requirements of the grille product, and its surface undergoes fine polishing to ensure the surface quality of the product.
[0069] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The rear mold mechanism 2 includes a second base plate 21, a fixed rear base 22, and a second mold base 23. The second base plate 21 is also made of high-strength metal material, providing stable support for the rear mold mechanism 2. The fixed rear base 22 is fixedly connected to the second base plate 21, and the connection method is similar to that of the front mold mechanism 1. The second mold base 23 is fixedly connected to the fixed rear base 22, and has a second mold cavity 231, which corresponds to the first mold cavity 131. Heat insulation plates are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of both the first mold base 13 and the second mold base 23 to prevent personnel from being burned.
[0070] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first mold base 13 has positioning protrusions 132 at both ends along its length, and the positioning protrusions 132 are integrally formed with the first mold base 13. The second mold base 23 has positioning grooves 232, the shape of which matches the positioning protrusions 132. The grooves 232 require high dimensional accuracy to ensure precise positioning during mold closing. When the front mold mechanism 1 and the rear mold mechanism 2 close, the positioning protrusions 132 and the positioning grooves 232 precisely engage.
[0071] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first mold cavity 131 has recesses on both sides along its length, and the second mold cavity 231 has protrusions on both sides, with the protrusions and recesses fitting precisely together. Positioning protrusions 132 are located on the outside of the recesses, and positioning grooves 232 are located on the outside of the protrusions to further improve the precise positioning of the first mold base 13 and the second mold base 23.
[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The hot runner structure 14 includes a wiring frame 141, a glue flow channel 142, and multiple injection tubes 143. The wiring frame 141 is a rectangular metal frame fixedly connected to the first substrate 11. The wiring frame 141 houses electrical wires and also provides a mounting and support structure for the glue flow channel 142 and injection tubes 143. The glue flow channel 142, fixedly connected to the wiring frame 141, guides the flow of the glue material; its inner wall is smooth to reduce resistance to the flow. The glue flow channel 142 is fixedly connected to a glue inlet for injection molding. Multiple injection tubes 143 are all fixedly connected to the glue flow channel 142.
[0073] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The product cavity has nineteen injection points, including ten side injection points 1432 and nine straight injection points 1433, evenly arranged in designated positions. The glue flow channel 142 has an injection port. A coordinate system is established with the center of the injection port as the origin, the length direction of the first mold base 13 as the X-axis, and the width direction as the Y-axis. The center coordinates of the outlets of the ten side injection points 1432 are (-455, -246), (455, -246), (-211, 246.5), (-425, 243.5), (-254, -246), (-640, -246), (211, 246.5), (425, 243.5), (254, -246), ( ... 46); The center coordinates of the outlets of the nine straight-in glue points 1433 are (0, 76), (-273, 37), (273, 37), (-508.27, -31.26), (508.27, -31.26), (34.5, -93.5), (1, -186), (-270.92, -86.65), (270.92, -86.65); the units are mm. The glue injection time of each glue point is set based on its distance from the origin. The closer the glue point is to the origin, the earlier its glue injection time.
[0074] The rational arrangement of the injection points ensures that the rubber material can evenly fill the product cavity during injection molding, avoiding problems such as air bubbles and shrinkage marks. Each injection point is connected to an injection tube 143. Among the nineteen injection tubes 143, the pressure is highest near the origin and decreases with increasing distance from the origin.
[0075] During the glue injection process, the following synchronization steps were followed: (0, 76), (34.5, -93.5), (1, -186), (-211, 246.5) and (211, 246.5) synchronously, (-270.92, 86.65) and (270.92, 86.65) synchronously, (-254, -246) and (254, -246) synchronously, and (-273, 37) and (273, 37) synchronously. The glue is injected in the following order: (-425, 243.5) and (425, 243.5) synchronous, (-455, -246) and (455, -246) synchronous, (-508.27, -31.26) and (508.27, -31.26) synchronous, and (-640, -246) and (640, -246) synchronous. The flow rate of the glue is controlled in real time by the control module.
[0076] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6Each injection nozzle 1433 has a corresponding hot runner insert 15 connected to the outlet of the injection tube 143.
