AI Technical Summary
Existing O-ring molding dies result in poor molding quality at the sprue after silicone solidification, leading to poor dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the O-rings after shearing, resulting in low production quality.
A mold for liquid silicone O-rings was designed. By opening receiving grooves and forming grooves of specific shapes on the upper and lower templates, setting glue-hiding grooves at the inlet and outlet ends of the forming groove, setting a fan-shaped groove between the connecting groove and the forming groove, and setting a material distribution groove and annular holes on the lower template, the flow and solidification process of liquid silicone is optimized to ensure that each forming groove is uniformly filled and forms neat sprues.
It improves the forming quality of O-rings, resulting in larger sprue sizes and neater edges. After shearing, the surface is flat, reducing bubbles and uneven solidification, thus improving production efficiency and forming quality.
