Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the automobile industry, automobile trim is an important interior and exterior component, which not only needs to have an attractive appearance, but also must meet strict quality and performance standards. With the continuous innovation of automobile design and the increasing demand of consumers for automobile quality, the manufacturing process of automobile trim is facing more and more challenges. The traditional injection molding process has many problems in the production of automobile trim. Due to the uneven flow of plastic melt in the mold cavity, it is easy to cause the trim to have inconsistent wall thickness, local shrinkage, stress concentration and other defects, affecting the strength and appearance quality of the product. In order to solve these problems, gas-assisted injection molding technology has emerged. This technology injects gas during injection molding to form a hollow structure, thereby reducing product weight, optimizing internal stress distribution, and improving surface quality.

[0003] In the production of automobile trim by gas-assisted injection molding, the operator cannot know whether the gas is in a full state inside the mold. Only a fixed amount of gas can be introduced into the same batch or the same shape of automobile trim mold. However, the mold gradually hardens after it is in a flow state before forming. It cannot guarantee that the softness and hardness of each batch of mold are completely consistent when the gas is injected. Therefore, there will be errors between the same batch of molds. The same amount of gas injected into the same batch of molds will also cause individual mold rupture or deformation. Some areas become too thick due to excessive gas filling, while other areas are relatively thin. This greatly destroys the uniformity and stability of the product structure. At the same time, excessive gas injection also causes the product to deform. The designed accurate shape and size cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a double-channel gas-assisted forming device for injection molding is proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
