Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the mould field, more specifically, it relates to a 3D printing secondary EVA mould micro -hole mould. BACKGROUND

[0002] The design of the sole mould is an extremely important link in the shoe mould production process. In the process of mould closing and material injection, the air in the mould needs to be effectively excluded, otherwise the product will have air bubbles, depressions or other defects, especially in the corresponding sharp corner position, the edge line, the pattern turning point and some other positions where air is easy to be trapped, which is more likely to have the effect that air cannot be effectively excluded.

[0003] And the existing processing mode for the pattern of the sole side wall can only reduce the depth and density of the corresponding pattern of the mould, or increase the air hole diameter to improve the air exhaust amount, but such processing still has the situation that air bubbles, depressions or other defects occur, and even if the above defects do not occur, the depth and density of the corresponding pattern are reduced, which leads to the decline of the overall appearance and quality of the pattern, and increasing the air hole diameter will cause more product burrs, resulting in poor product quality.

[0004] Therefore, a new scheme needs to be proposed to solve this problem. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] In view of the defects in the prior art, the utility model aims at solving the above problems and provides a 3D printing secondary EVA mould micro -hole mould.

[0008] The utility model further sets up that the coarse hole section port extends to the mould core outside wall, and the lower mould core outside wall is provided with the air guide channel that communicates the coarse hole section port of each micro -hole channel.

[0009] The utility model further sets up that the fine hole section port aperture is 0.02mm.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0011] The 3D printing technology can solve the problem that the conventional processing methods such as drilling, electric spark processing and laser drilling cannot start a gas hole at a sharp corner position, an edge line and a pattern turning point, thereby effectively solving the problems of bubbles, depressions and other defects, and relatively increasing the gas hole diameter in the conventional processing method.

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0016] Embodiment:

[0017] A 3D printing secondary EVA mould micro-hole mould, such as Figs. 1-2As shown, including the lower mold core 1, the inner wall of the lower mold core 1 is provided with a texture convex 2, and the texture convex 2 forms the corresponding pattern of the sidewall of the sole. The lower mold core 1 is provided with a plurality of micro-porous channels 3 for exhaust by 3D printing technology. The micro-porous channels 3 are provided at the sharp corner position, the edge line and the pattern transition point of the texture convex 2. Thus, the 3D printing technology can solve the problem that the conventional processing methods such as drilling, electric spark machining and laser drilling cannot form air holes at the sharp corner position, the edge line and the pattern transition point. Thus, the problem of air bubbles, depressions or other defects is effectively solved. Compared with the conventional processing method of increasing the diameter of the air hole, the technology of the present application can effectively control the diameter of the micro-porous channel 3, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of burr protrusion, and further improving the product quality.

[0018] Meanwhile, the micro-porous channel 3 is provided with a coarse hole section 4, an expanded hole section 5 and a fine hole section 6. The coarse hole section 4, the expanded hole section 5 and the fine hole section 6 are sequentially communicated. The port of the fine hole section 6 is located at one end of the micro-porous channel 3 communicated with the mold cavity. Thus, during the exhaust process, the gas flow passes from the area with small hole diameter to the area with large hole diameter. According to the continuity equation (mass conservation), the flow rate is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the pipeline when the fluid is incompressible. Therefore, when the gas flow passes from the smaller hole diameter to the larger hole diameter, the flow rate will decrease. Thus, when the gas flow transitions from the expanded hole section 5 to the coarse hole section 4, the flow rate decreases, avoiding the situation that the material penetrates too deeply into the micro-nano air hole when the molten material is injected into the micro-nano air mold at the initial stage due to the flow rate process. According to Bernoulli's equation, when the flow rate decreases, the static pressure of the gas flow will decrease. This is because part of the kinetic energy of the gas flow is converted into static pressure energy. The conversion between the kinetic energy and the static pressure energy of the gas flow will reduce the temperature of the gas flow, thereby forming a better air permeability and cooling effect.

[0019] The port of the coarse hole section 4 extends to the outer sidewall of the mold core. The outer sidewall of the lower mold core 1 is provided with a gas guide channel 7 communicated with the ports of the coarse hole sections 4 of the micro-porous channels 3. The gas guide channel 7 is used to uniformly guide the exhaust gas, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency and reducing the cost of opening the lower mold.

[0020] The port diameter of the fine hole section 6 is 0.02mm. The 3D printing technology can produce a hole diameter that cannot be produced by the existing conventional mold air hole processing equipment. Thus, the burr protrusion caused by the hole diameter can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the product quality. Moreover, the 3D printing technology can better generate the structure of the expanded hole section 5, thereby reducing the processing difficulty.

[0021] It is apparent for a person skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but that it can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or the essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the present application being defined by the claims appended hereto rather than by the above description, and all the changes which fall within the meaning and the scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
