In addition, by separating the inside mold from the outside mold, the inside mold can be pulled out of the outside mold after foaming and demolding operation is conducted, the use efficiency of the closed outside mold is greatly improved, and the production efficiency is further improved. Moreover, the dynamic connection mode of the hinge and the bearing makes the assembly of the large-size mold simpler, and the safety factor is greatly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is an exploded schematic view of the large-size closed mold provided by the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The utility model will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used for describing the utility model and are not used for limiting the scope of the utility model.

[0016] Combined with Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the large-size closed mold for polyimide foaming provided by the preferred embodiment of the utility model mainly comprises two parts of an outside mold 1 and an inside mold 2.

[0017] The outside mold 1 comprises a mold body 11 and a door type structure 12 at both ends. The mold body 11 and the door type structure 12 of the outside mold 1 are connected through a hinge 13. After the door type structure 12 of the outside mold 1 is opened, the inner bottom surface of the mold body 11 is kept horizontal.

[0018] The outside mold 1 further comprises a gas inlet hole 14, and the gas inlet hole 14 is connected with the outside through a metal pipeline 15 and a valve 16. The gas / liquid is injected into the mold through the gas inlet hole 14.

[0019] The bottom base 21 of the inside mold 2 is flat on the upper surface, and a roller 22 is installed below. The bottom base 21 and the side plate 23 of the inside mold 2 are connected through a hinge 24. The upper ends of the side plates 23 of the inside mold 2 are connected and fixed through right-angle quick clamps 25. The side plate 23 of the inside mold 2 can be opened by 180° rotation.

[0020] In actual use, the steps of manufacturing the polyimide large-size foaming material are as follows: step 51: the inside mold 2 is installed and fixed, and the polyimide before foaming is pressed flat and placed in the inside mold 2.

[0021] Step 52: heating the outer mold 1 to the foaming temperature of the foaming material, pushing the inner mold 2 into the outer mold 1, locking the door structure 12, opening the valve 16 to inject water vapor, and then closing the valve 16.

[0022] The foaming temperature and the steam pressure required for maintaining the foaming prepolymer are greater than or equal to 150 DEG C and less than or equal to 240 DEG C, and greater than or equal to 1000 psi and less than or equal to 3000 psi, for example.

[0023] Step 53: opening the valve 16, slowly releasing the pressure of the outer mold 1 to the atmospheric pressure, heating the outer mold 1 to the imidization temperature of the foaming material and maintaining for 3 hours.

[0024] Step 54: cooling to 150 DEG C, opening the door structure 12, pushing out the inner mold 2, and naturally cooling.

[0025] Step 55: opening the right-angle quick clamp 24, opening the side plate 23, demolding, and taking out the foaming material which has been formed.

[0026] According to the above description, the advantages of the embodiment can be summarized as follows:

[0027] I. By the closed structure of the outer mold 1, the added water vapor can reduce the viscosity of the surface of the foaming prepolymer, improve the flowability of the skin prepolymer material, thereby reducing the skinning of the polyimide in the foaming process, effectively reducing the production cost and improving the production efficiency.

[0028] II. The hinge 13 is connected between the mold body 11 of the outer mold 1 and the door structure 12, which effectively avoids the positioning problem in the assembly process, and makes the assembly more convenient. In addition, the connection of the hinge 13 makes one end of the door structure 12 fixed, and the operation is safer.
