TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to injection mold technical field, concretely is a kind of porous corrugated pipe and mould cooling device with spiral conformal cooling water channel. BACKGROUND
[0002] Injection mold is generally adopted linear or simple fold line type cooling water channel in early stage, and is processed by drilling process. With the continuous progress of science and technology production, conformal cooling water channel emerges as the times require, and its water channel profile can change with the change of plastic part cavity, and this design can significantly improve cooling efficiency and product quality, but there are still the following technical defects and limitations in practical application: high manufacturing cost, material and process limitation, high maintenance cost.
[0003] Porous structure is a kind of multifunctional composite material. It has the characteristics of high strength and low relative density, and some porous structures also have the characteristics of self-supporting, so it can be used as a filling material that can improve the cooling efficiency and cooling uniformity of injection mold cooling water channel. Selective laser melting technology is a kind of metal additive manufacturing technology. Compared with traditional processing methods, selective laser melting technology has higher design freedom and the ability to manufacture complex internal structures, so selective laser melting technology has the ability to manufacture porous structure conformal cooling water channel.
[0004] Although conformal cooling technology realizes complex water channel design through 3D printing, it still has the defects of insufficient turbulent effect and limited heat exchange efficiency. The spiral corrugated pipe structure increases the contact area of the cooling medium and the mold through its unique shape, thereby significantly improving the heat exchange efficiency. However, the existing porous or corrugated single structure water channel cannot simultaneously meet the needs of flow path optimization and surface area expansion. Therefore, we propose a porous corrugated pipe with spiral conformal cooling water channel and mold cooling device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0028] A mould cooling device is characterized by: adopting the porous corrugated pipe with spiral conformal cooling water channel.
[0029] Working principle: the utility model combines porous structure and spiral corrugated pipe structure, aiming at optimizing cooling efficiency. Porous structure can increase the flow area of cooling liquid, and spiral corrugated pipe structure changes the direction of water flow, increases turbulence, so as to improve heat exchange efficiency. After entering the mould, the cooling liquid first flows through the porous area, and the numerous small pores greatly increase the contact area of the cooling liquid and the mould, which is beneficial to heat absorption. Then, the cooling liquid enters the spiral corrugated pipe structure area, and the tortuous channel of the spiral corrugated pipe structure forces the cooling liquid to change the flow state constantly, forming turbulence. Turbulence is like the rapids in river, and water flow constantly impacts and mixes, so that heat is quickly exchanged, ensuring that the temperature of the mould is uniform, improving the quality and production efficiency of injection molded products.
