Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molds, and more specifically to a micro-foam injection molding mold. Background Art

[0002] The basic principle of the micro-foam injection molding process is to dissolve a supercritical fluid (such as CO2 or N2) into the molten plastic to form a single-phase solution. When this solution enters the mold cavity, due to the changes in temperature and pressure, a large number of tiny bubble nuclei will be formed inside the product. These bubble nuclei gradually grow and finally generate a product with a microporous structure.

[0003] Micro-foam injection molding is an advanced precision injection technology that can significantly reduce the weight of the workpiece, shorten the molding cycle, and improve warpage deformation and dimensional stability. As shown in the prior art with the publication number CN220280293U, although this prior art can facilitate the dredging of the injection hole through an anti-blocking structure, when cleaning the injection hole, the bolt is screwed out from the inside of the screw hole. At this time, the fixing between the fixed ear and the limiting groove is released, and then the first half pipe and the second half pipe can be pulled out from the inside of the jack. Then, hold the second half pipe and pull the first half pipe. At this time, the first half pipe drives the slider to slide out from the inside of the chute. Subsequently, the first half pipe and the second half pipe are separated, and then it is more convenient to clean the blockage between the first half pipe and the second half pipe. However, this prior art can only be operated during the shutdown of the equipment, which will affect the injection efficiency of the equipment.

[0004] In addition, the disassembly and assembly steps of the first half pipe and the second half pipe in the above technical solution are relatively cumbersome, which will affect the disassembly and assembly efficiency and maintenance efficiency of the staff. Summary of the Utility Model
