Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of injection mold technology, and more specifically to an arc-shaped injection mold for processing plastic handrails for treadmills. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, which emphasizes healthy lifestyles, the fitness equipment market continues to expand. Treadmills, with their convenience and efficiency, have become the first choice for many consumers when purchasing fitness equipment. This growing market demand has prompted treadmill manufacturers to continuously optimize product design and pursue a higher quality user experience. As a key component that comes into direct contact with the user, plastic handrails must not only conform to ergonomic design, providing a comfortable and stable grip, but also match modern aesthetics in appearance, showcasing a stylish and refined texture. This places extremely high demands on the processing technology of plastic handrails. Among them, the cooling system of the injection mold, as a core element determining product quality and production efficiency, has made its performance upgrade an inevitable trend in industry development.

[0003] The curved design of treadmill plastic handrails increases the difficulty of cooling. Traditional cooling systems typically use relatively simple water channel layouts, which are difficult to fully conform to the complex curved contours of the handrails. During injection molding, after the molten plastic fills the mold cavity, the heat distribution is uneven, and conventional coolant channels cannot efficiently dissipate heat to areas with concentrated heat. For example, in areas where the curvature of the handrail changes significantly, the coolant flow rate may be slowed down due to the water channel layout, causing the cooling speed in that area to lag behind other areas, creating a cooling speed difference. This uneven cooling causes internal stress in the plastic handrail during the cooling and shrinkage phase, leading to product deformation, warping, surface dents, cracks, and other defects, severely affecting the product's appearance and structural strength, and reducing the yield rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an arc-shaped injection mold for processing plastic handrails of treadmills. By installing a water-cooling device with the male and female molds, the production efficiency of the arc-shaped injection mold is improved, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An arc-shaped injection mold for processing plastic handrails for treadmills, comprising:

[0007] A male mold, which is slidably connected to a female mold; both the male and female molds are equipped with water-cooling devices.

[0008] The male mold includes a lower fixed plate, on which mold feet are symmetrically installed at the front end, and multiple spring pillars are regularly arranged at the front end. The spring pillars are respectively connected to the lower ejector and the upper ejector, and the upper end of the spring pillars is connected to the male mold core.

[0009] The upper ejector is located above the lower ejector, and the upper and lower ends of the upper and lower ejectors are connected to the mold feet; the male mold core is provided with guide pillars at each of its four corners, and the upper and lower ends of the male mold core are symmetrically provided with water channel connectors, and the lower water channel connector is connected to the lower coolant channel.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the upper drain connector is connected to the inlet and outlet respectively, and the inlet and outlet are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the flow seat.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the flow seat is fixedly connected to the radiator shell, the radiator shell has regular water channels and fins inside, and a fan is also installed at the upper end of the radiator shell.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a fixing plate is installed on the upper end of the male mold core, and a fixing bolt is symmetrically arranged on the fixing plate. The fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded seat, and the threaded seat is symmetrically installed at the front end of the flow seat.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the guide post and the guide sleeve are slidably connected. The guide sleeve is located at the four corners of the female mold core. The upper and lower ends of the female mold core are symmetrically provided with upper water passage connectors. The upper water passage connector at the lower end is connected to the upper coolant passage, and the upper water passage connector at the upper end is connected to the water inlet and the water outlet respectively.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the front end of the female mold core is connected to the upper fixed plate, a sprue sleeve is installed in the middle position of the upper fixed plate, and an upper fixed plate is installed at the upper end of the upper fixed plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In this invention, coolant enters from the outlet at the bottom of the flow seat, flows into the lower coolant channel through the drain connector at the top of the male mold core, and exchanges heat with the male mold core during its flow, absorbing the heat generated by the injection molding process. It then flows out from the drain connector at the top and back into the flow seat through the inlet. The coolant is recycled within the system, avoiding the significant water waste of traditional cooling methods, reducing water costs for enterprises, and meeting the requirements of sustainable development. Furthermore, the cooling water channels in the male and female mold cores are rationally laid out and designed according to the arc shape of the plastic handrail, ensuring more even contact between the cooling water and the mold cavity surface. This guarantees consistent cooling speed across all parts of the plastic handrail, effectively reducing product deformation, internal stress concentration, and other quality problems, and improving the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the product. In this invention, after heat exchange, the coolant flows from the inlet to the flow seat, then enters the radiator housing. The regularly arranged water channels and fins inside the radiator housing increase the contact area between the coolant and the air. At the same time, the fan accelerates the airflow, dissipating the heat from the coolant. The coolant is then transported through the outlet to the lower and upper water pipe connectors at the outlet end. This efficient water-cooling circulation system, combined with the water channels, fins, and fan inside the radiator housing, can quickly dissipate the heat from the mold, shortening the cooling time of the plastic handrail, thereby shortening the injection molding cycle and improving production efficiency.

[0031] The upper ejector 15 is located at the upper end of the lower ejector 14, and the upper and lower ends of the upper ejector 15 and the lower ejector 14 are connected to the mold base 12; the male mold core 16 is provided with guide pillars 17 at each of its four corners, and the upper and lower ends of the male mold core 16 are symmetrically provided with water channel connectors 112, and the lower water channel connector 112 is connected to the lower cooling water channel 111.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the coolant enters from the outlet 37 at the bottom of the flow seat 32, flows into the lower coolant channel 111 through the drain connector 112 at the upper end of the male mold core 16, and exchanges heat with the male mold core 16 during the flow of the coolant through the lower coolant channel 111, absorbing the heat generated by the male mold core 16 during the injection molding process. Then it flows out from the drain connector 112 at the upper end and flows back to the flow seat 32 through the inlet 37. The coolant is recycled within the system, avoiding the large waste of water resources in traditional cooling methods, reducing the water cost for enterprises, and meeting the requirements of sustainable development.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper drain connector 112 is connected to the inlet 31 and the outlet 37 respectively, and the inlet 31 and the outlet 37 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the flow seat 32.

[0034] The flow seat 32 is fixedly connected to the radiator housing 33. The radiator housing 33 has water channels 34 and fins 35 arranged in a regular pattern inside, and a fan 36 is also installed at the upper end of the radiator housing 33.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, cooling water channels are respectively set in the male mold core 16 and the female mold core 26. The layout and design are made in accordance with the arc characteristics of the plastic handrail, so that the cooling water can contact the mold cavity surface more evenly, ensuring that the cooling speed of each part of the plastic handrail is consistent, effectively reducing quality problems such as product deformation and internal stress concentration, and improving the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the product.

[0036] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 18 is installed on the upper end of the male mold core 16. Fixing bolts 19 are symmetrically arranged on the fixing plate 18. The fixing bolts 19 are threadedly connected to the threaded seat 110. The threaded seat 110 is symmetrically installed at the front end of the flow seat 32.

[0037] The guide post 17 is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 27. The guide sleeve 27 is located at the four corners of the female mold core 26.

The regularly arranged water channels 34 and fins 35 inside the radiator housing 33 increase the contact area between the coolant and the air. At the same time, the fan 36 accelerates the airflow and dissipates the heat in the coolant. Then, the coolant is transported to the lower water channel connector 112 and the upper water channel connector 29 at the outlet 37 through the outlet 37. The efficient water cooling circulation system, together with the water channels 34, fins 35 and fan 36 inside the radiator housing 33, can quickly dissipate the heat in the mold, shorten the cooling time of the plastic handrail, thereby shortening the injection molding cycle and improving production efficiency.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the coolant enters from the outlet 37 at the bottom of the flow seat 32, flows into the lower coolant channel 111 through the drain connector 112 at the upper end of the male mold core 16, and exchanges heat with the male mold core 16 during the flow of the coolant through the lower coolant channel 111, absorbing the heat generated by the male mold core 16 during the injection molding process. Then it flows out from the drain connector 112 at the upper end and flows back to the flow seat 32 through the inlet 37. The coolant is recycled in the system, avoiding the large waste of water resources in the traditional cooling method, reducing the water cost of enterprises, and meeting the requirements of sustainable development.

[0041] Cooling water channels are provided in the male mold core 16 and female mold core 26 respectively. The layout and design are made in accordance with the arc characteristics of the plastic handrail, so that the cooling water can contact the mold cavity surface more evenly, ensuring that the cooling speed of each part of the plastic handrail is consistent, effectively reducing quality problems such as product deformation and internal stress concentration, and improving the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the product.

[0042] After heat exchange, the coolant flows from the inlet 31 to the flow seat 32, and then enters the radiator housing 33. The regularly arranged water channels 34 and fins 35 inside the radiator housing 33 increase the contact area between the coolant and the air. At the same time, the fan 36 accelerates the airflow to dissipate the heat in the coolant. Then, the coolant is transported through the outlet 37 to the lower water channel connector 112 and the upper water channel connector 29 at the outlet 37. The efficient water cooling circulation system, together with the water channels 34, fins 35 and fan 36 inside the radiator housing 33, can quickly dissipate the heat in the mold, shorten the cooling time of the plastic handrail, thereby shortening the injection molding cycle and improving production efficiency.
