Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a preheating device, and more particularly to a preheating device for plastic mold overlay welding. Background Technology
[0002] To create specific textures on the surface of injection-molded products, plastic molds typically require surface etching before use. Achieving consistent etching results necessitates a uniform microstructure in the molded plastic. However, in actual production, issues frequently arise, such as machining errors, impacts or wear during transportation or service, leading to dimensional inconsistencies and unusable molds. Since the cost of a medium-sized mold can often reach millions of yuan, repairing unusable plastic molds is essential.
[0003] Laser welding and argon arc welding are widely used for the localized repair of plastic molds. However, in the process of repairing plastic molds by welding, due to the large size of the mold, the mold itself acts as an infinitely large cold body during the cooling of the weld seam. This results in a very rapid cooling rate of the molten weld metal, forming an ultrafine-grained martensitic structure. This microstructure is significantly different from the original structure of the plastic mold, leading to inconsistent textures during etching and severely affecting the surface quality of the injection molded product. Preheating before welding can effectively inhibit the martensitic transformation of the weld metal and promote grain growth, and is therefore widely used in the repair of plastic molds by welding. However, currently, the preheating of plastic molds usually involves placing the entire mold in a muffle furnace, heating it to the set temperature, removing it, and then performing the welding. Because the molds vary in size, multiple muffle furnaces of different sizes or a very large muffle furnace are required for preheating. In addition, when the heated mold is removed from the muffle furnace, the mold surface cools down rapidly, making it difficult to perform the welding at the preset temperature. Utility Model Content

[0007] The edge length of the first type heating unit is 15-50 cm, and the edge length of the second type heating unit is 15-30 cm; and the top of the plastic mold is covered with refractory asbestos.
