[0019] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] The cold and hot open hot runner mold of the utility model replaces the hot nozzle with the gate sleeve 4, aiming at solving the high failure rate problem of using the hot nozzle in the traditional hot runner mold. The mold is mainly composed of a fixed mold base plate 8, a runner plate 5, a gate sleeve 4, a support plate 9, a positioning ring 7, a gasket 6, a forming cavity 1, a front mold core 3, a core fixing plate 10 and a fixed mold plate 11 and other important components. The cold and hot open hot runner mold of the utility model has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient maintenance and the like, effectively reduces the failure rate in hot runner production, meets the production and manufacturing requirements of various products, avoids many shortcomings in the production of conventional hot runner structure, not only improves the quality and production efficiency of the products, reduces the production cost and the rate of defective products, but also reduces the maintenance cost and downtime caused by mold failure.
[0021] As Figure 1As shown, the fixed mold base plate 8 is arranged at the top of the entire mold, and the runner plate 5 is arranged below. The fixed mold base plate 8 is provided with a positioning ring 7, which is accurately arranged on the mold symmetry axis and connected to the fixed mold base plate 8 by a fixing bolt. In the production process, the positioning ring 7 plays an important role, and it is a key component to ensure the accurate docking of the injection molding machine nozzle and the mold. When the injection molding machine performs injection molding operation, the nozzle needs to be accurately aligned with the center of the positioning ring 7, and then the material of the injection molding machine can be smoothly injected from the nozzle into the inside of the runner plate 5 which has been heated to a certain temperature. The arrangement of the positioning ring 7 makes the cooperation between the injection molding machine nozzle and the mold more accurate, avoiding various problems that may occur due to inaccurate docking. For example, when the positioning is not accurate, the material injected from the nozzle of the injection molding machine may not accurately enter the runner plate 5, resulting in material leakage and affecting the molding quality of the product. Through the accurate positioning of the positioning ring 7, this risk is greatly reduced, improving the stability of the injection molding process and reducing the rate of defective products. At the same time, the fixed bolt is used to connect the positioning ring 7 and the fixed mold base plate 8, ensuring that the connection between the positioning ring 7 and the fixed mold base plate 8 is more firm and reliable. In the long-term use of the mold, it will inevitably be subjected to various vibrations, and firm connection can effectively prevent the positioning ring 7 from shifting due to vibration, thereby further improving the service life of the mold and reducing the downtime for maintenance caused by the loosening of the positioning ring 7, providing a strong guarantee for continuous production.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the runner plate 5 is one of the core components of the entire mold, and a flow channel is arranged inside. The runner plate 5 and several gate sleeves 4 are embedded in the support plate 9. The support plate 9 is provided with a rectangular chamber, and the runner plate 5 is arranged in the rectangular chamber and maintains a certain distance with the inner wall of the rectangular chamber. The runner plate 5 is fixed to the support plate 9 by a bolt, ensuring the stable connection between the runner plate 5 and the support plate 9, so that the runner plate 5 will not shake or shift during work, ensuring the stability of the material flow during injection molding. On the other hand, the reserved distance provides space for the thermal expansion of the runner plate 5. During the injection molding process, the runner plate 5 will expand due to heating, and if there is no reserved space, it may cause the runner plate 5 to deform or be damaged, affecting the normal use of the mold. By reserving space, not only the service life of the mold is prolonged, but also the temperature uniformity inside the flow channel is maintained, because the thermal expansion will not have a great impact on the shape and size of the flow channel, thereby improving the injection molding quality.
[0023] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bushing 4 plays an important raw material injection function in the mold, the number of which can be selected as 3-point, 4-point, etc. hot runner structure, and the preferred embodiment is a two-point hot runner structure, and the two bushings 4 are evenly distributed below the runner plate 5. The bushing 4 is provided with a central passage, the bottom end is communicated with the mold runner 2, and the top end is sealingly connected with the discharge port on the lower surface of the runner plate 5. The top end of the bushing 4 is arranged in the rectangular cavity between the lower surface of the runner plate 5 and the support plate 9, which makes the raw material flow more smoothly from the bushing 4 into the mold runner 2 and be evenly distributed to each forming cavity 1. Compared with the traditional hot nozzle, the use of the bushing 4 greatly reduces the failure rate in hot runner production, because it has a simple and reliable structure, low manufacturing cost, and can meet the production and manufacturing requirements of the current market hot runner structure, and avoid the shortcomings in the production of conventional hot runner structure. In the injection molding process, after the raw material is injected from the bushing 4, it will flow along the runner in the runner plate 5. Due to the unique design of the bushing 4, the residence and accumulation of the raw material in the runner are reduced, the production failure caused by the runner blockage is reduced, and the continuity and stability of the production process are improved. Moreover, when the bushing 4 has a problem, due to its simple structure, it is easy to maintain and replace, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost.
[0024] As Figure 2As shown, a plurality of molding cavities 1 are provided at both ends of the mold runner 2, which communicate with the mold runner 2. The molding cavities 1 are the places where the products are finally shaped. When the raw materials in the mold runner 2 flow into the molding cavities 1 under the push of pressure, they will fill the entire molding cavities 1, forming the required product shape. This multi-molding cavity 1 design is to realize multi-cavity injection molding, which has significant advantages in large-scale production scenarios. Through the simultaneous work of multiple molding cavities 1, the production efficiency is greatly improved, meeting the needs of large-scale production. At the same time, multi-cavity injection molding is also beneficial to ensure the uniform filling of raw materials in each molding cavity 1, because the raw materials will form a balance between different molding cavities 1 during the flow process, avoiding the uneven distribution of raw materials that may occur in single-cavity injection molding, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy and consistency of the products, and improving the overall quality of the products. During the product molding process, the raw materials will undergo a transformation from a liquid state to a solid state in the molding cavities 1. In this process, since the molding cavities 1 are working simultaneously, the raw materials in each molding cavity 1 can be filled and cooled at the same time, greatly improving production efficiency. Moreover, multi-cavity injection molding ensures that products in different molding cavities have similar molding conditions, improving product consistency and dimensional accuracy. Above the molding cavities 1, a front mold core 3 is provided, which is arranged on both sides of the sprue bush 4. The upper half of the front mold core 3 is fixed on the core fixing plate 10, and the core fixing plate 10 is fixed below the support plate 9 through bolts. The lower half is fixed on the fixed mold plate 11. The arrangement of the front mold core 3 can form the shape of the product together with the molding cavities 1. During the injection molding process, the raw materials will be molded around the front mold core 3 when they fill the molding cavities 1. The precise shape and stable position of the front mold core 3 play a decisive role in the molding accuracy and appearance quality of the product. The bolted connection between the front mold core 3 and the core fixing plate 10, and the core fixing plate 10 and the support plate 9 makes the connection more firm, ensuring the stability of the front mold core 3 during production, avoiding product size deviation caused by loose or displacement of the front mold core 3, and improving the dimensional accuracy and quality stability of the product. Moreover, when the front mold core 3 needs to be maintained or replaced, this bolted connection also facilitates operation, making it easier to maintain and maintain the mold, reducing the difficulty and cost of mold maintenance. Below the core fixing plate 10, a fixed mold plate 11 is provided, and the mold runner 2 and the molding cavities 1 are arranged in the fixed mold plate 11. This integrated design is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the internal structure of the mold, avoiding the structural instability that may occur due to the dispersion of parts, improving the service life of the mold, and facilitating the automation of mold production, improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0025] As Figure 1As shown, a plurality of spacers 6 are provided between the fixed mold plate 11 and the support plate 9, preferably two in this embodiment, which are fixed on the upper surface of the runner plate 5 by bolts. The presence of the spacers 6 is of great significance. It can fine-tune the spacing between various parts of the mold according to actual production needs, ensure the assembly accuracy of the mold, and also play a buffering role to a certain extent, absorbing the vibration and impact force generated during production, further improving the stability and reliability of the mold.
[0026] Working process.
[0027] Before the mold starts working, it first needs to be preheated. The runner plate 5 is heated to a predetermined temperature by external heating equipment to ensure that the raw material maintains good fluidity when it enters the runner plate 5. During the preheating process, the heating temperature needs to be accurately controlled to avoid affecting the performance of the raw material due to excessively high or low temperature. At this time, since a certain space is reserved between the runner plate 5 and the support plate 9, it can better cope with the problem of thermal expansion, ensuring the safety and stability of the heating process.
[0028] When the preparation work is completed, the injection molding operation begins. The injection molding machine injects the raw material into the mold through the nozzle. The nozzle of the injection molding machine is guided by the positioning ring 7 and accurately aligns with the feed port of the mold, injecting the raw material into the preheated runner plate 5. After the raw material enters the runner plate 5, it flows along the runner. After the raw material is ejected from the runner plate 5, it flows into the sprue bushing 4, passes through the central channel of the sprue bushing 4, and then flows out from the sprue bushing 4 to the mold runner 2, and then uniformly enters each molding cavity 1. In this process, the design of the sprue bushing 4 ensures smooth flow of the raw material, reducing the probability of blockage or leakage. Due to the good cooperation between the sprue bushing 4 and the runner plate 5 and the support plate 9, the raw material maintains stable pressure and speed during the flow process, and does not form eddies or stagnation in the runner, ensuring uniform distribution of the raw material.
[0029] As the raw material flows into the molding cavity 1, the front mold core 3 begins to play a role. The raw material will gradually fill the molding cavity 1 and closely fit the shape of the front mold core 3, forming the preliminary shape of the product. The shape and position of the front mold core 3 determine the final appearance and size of the product, so the front mold core 3 needs to maintain high stability during the injection molding process. Since the front mold core 3 is firmly connected to the core fixing plate 10 by bolts, and the core fixing plate 10 is also stably installed below the support plate 9, the front mold core 3 will not shift, ensuring the molding accuracy of the product. During the molding process, the temperature and pressure inside the mold also need to be accurately controlled to ensure that the raw material can fully fill the molding cavity 1, while avoiding damage to the mold or defects in the product due to excessive pressure.
[0030] Finally, the product is cooled while pressure is maintained, and a certain cooling time is required to completely solidify the product. The product is finally formed. During the cooling process, the mold dissipates heat, and the presence of the gasket 6 helps absorb some of the heat.
[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely exemplary and not limiting. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make other different forms of changes or modifications. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
