Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molds, and in particular to a high-precision injection molding die. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, injection molding is widely used in many fields due to its high efficiency, precision, and ability to mass-produce complex plastic products. Injection molds, as the core equipment of this process, directly affect the quality and production efficiency of plastic products.

[0003] Traditional injection molding dies suffer from significant flaws in their cooling system design. The layout of cooling channels often lacks precise planning, with some areas having sparse channels while others are overly dense. This irrational design results in low cooling efficiency during the molding process, significantly extending the cooling time and consequently lengthening the entire molding cycle, severely impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, uneven cooling leads to inconsistent shrinkage across different parts of the molded part, causing uneven shrinkage. This makes it difficult to guarantee dimensional accuracy, increasing the scrap rate and production costs, failing to meet the growing market demand for high-precision plastic products. Therefore, a high-precision injection molding die is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by employing a spiral cooling channel design. This increases the contact area between the coolant and the mold core, allowing the coolant to flow along the spiral path and effectively remove heat. This overcomes the unreasonable layout of traditional cooling channels, improving cooling efficiency and shortening the molding cycle. Furthermore, the equal longitudinal spacing and trapezoidal cross-section of adjacent spiral cooling channels ensure uniform cooling of the mold core, preventing uneven shrinkage of the plastic part, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, reducing scrap rates, and meeting the market demand for high-precision plastic products.

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention solves the problems of low cooling efficiency and uneven shrinkage caused by unreasonable water channel layout in the design of traditional injection mold cooling systems through the following technical solution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-precision injection molding die, comprising:

[0008] A mold frame on which a moving mold and a fixed mold are mounted, wherein a mold core is provided inside the fixed mold;

[0009] A spiral cooling water channel is formed inside the mold core. The inlet of the spiral cooling water channel is connected to the fixed mold through a first flow channel, and the outlet is connected to the fixed mold through a second flow channel.

[0010] The inlet pipes are inserted into the corresponding first and second flow channels to introduce coolant into the spiral cooling water channel.

[0011] Preferably, the front view cross-section of the spiral cooling water channel is trapezoidal, and the longitudinal spacing between adjacent spiral cooling water channels is equal.

[0012] Preferably, both the first flow channel and the second flow channel include a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The first connecting section is arranged laterally in the mold core and connected to the first or last end of the spiral cooling water channel. The second connecting section is arranged laterally in the fixed mold and communicates with the first connecting section. The inlet pipe is inserted from the opening of the second connecting section and extends into the interior of the first connecting section.

[0013] Preferably, the first end of the inlet pipe is connected to a fixed joint, and the outer periphery of the opening at the first end of the second connecting section is provided with a locking sleeve. The fixed joint and the locking sleeve are connected by a threaded rotation.

[0014] Preferably, the outer periphery of the opening of the fixed joint is provided with an annular limiting ring to limit the connection depth between the fixed joint and the locking sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the opening of the fixed joint is provided with an interface for connecting an external coolant pipe.

[0016] Preferably, a first sealing ring is fitted around the outer edge of the limiting ring near the coolant pipe to seal the coolant pipe, and a second sealing ring is fitted around the outer edge of the limiting ring near the locking sleeve to seal the connection between the fixing joint and the locking sleeve.

[0017] Preferably, the diameter of the fixed joint is larger than the diameter of the inlet pipe and is adapted to the inner diameter of the first end of the second connecting section.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The high-precision injection molding die provided in this application adopts a spiral cooling channel design, which increases the contact area between the coolant and the mold core. The coolant flows along the spiral path, effectively carrying away heat, thus changing the unreasonable layout of traditional cooling channels, improving cooling efficiency, and shortening the molding cycle. Simultaneously, the equal longitudinal spacing and trapezoidal cross-section of adjacent spiral cooling channels ensure uniform cooling of the mold core, preventing uneven shrinkage of the plastic part, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy, reducing scrap rate, and meeting the market demand for high-precision plastic products.

[0020] This application introduces a pipe fitting that is installed and fixed via a threaded connection between a fixed connector and a locking sleeve. This method is simple and convenient, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the inclusion of a limiting ring and a sealing ring not only ensures a tight seal but also limits the connection depth, guaranteeing installation accuracy and reducing the probability of coolant leaks and other malfunctions caused by connection issues.

[0021] The interface at the fixed joint opening of this application can be designed in a form that is common to most pipes, which facilitates connection with different coolant pipes, enhances the applicability of the mold in actual production, and reduces the cost and inconvenience caused by pipe mismatch.

Example

[0037] A mold frame 1 is provided with a moving mold 2 and a fixed mold 3, and a mold core 4 is provided inside the fixed mold 3.

[0038] The spiral cooling water channel 5 is located inside the mold core 4. The inlet of the spiral cooling water channel 5 is connected to the fixed mold 3 through the first flow channel 6, and the outlet is connected to the fixed mold 3 through the second flow channel 601.

[0039] The inlet pipe 7 is inserted into the corresponding first flow channel 6 and second flow channel 601 to introduce coolant into the spiral cooling water channel 5.

[0040] The high-precision injection molding die of this application is mainly composed of components such as mold frame 1, moving mold 2, fixed mold 3, mold core 4, spiral cooling water channel 5, first flow channel 6, second flow channel 601, and inlet pipe 7. The following is a detailed description of its structure and working principle.

[0041] I. Detailed Structure and Connection Methods of Each Component

[0042] Mold assembly: The moving mold 2 and the fixed mold 3 are mounted on the mold frame 1, and the mold core 4 is installed inside the fixed mold 3. A spiral cooling channel 5 is pre-machined inside the mold core 4. At the same time, a first flow channel 6 and a second flow channel 601 are machined in the fixed mold 3 and the mold core 4. The first flow channel 6 and the second flow channel 601 both include a first connecting section 6001 arranged laterally in the mold core 4 and a second connecting section 6002 arranged laterally in the fixed mold 3. The first connecting section 6001 is connected to the first or last end of the spiral cooling channel 5 and is connected to the second connecting section 6002.

[0043] Installation of inlet fitting 7: Insert inlet fitting 7 into the corresponding opening of the second connecting section 6002, extending it into the interior of the first connecting section 6001. Connect the first end of inlet fitting 7 to a fixing connector 8. Install a locking sleeve 11 on the outer periphery of the opening at the first end of the second connecting section 6002 on the outer wall of the fixed mold 3. By rotating the fixing connector 8, its external thread engages with the internal thread of the locking sleeve 11, fixing the inlet fitting 7 onto the fixed mold 3. A universal interface 10 is provided at the opening of the fixing connector 8 for connecting external coolant pipes. Simultaneously, a first sealing ring 901 and a second sealing ring 902 are respectively fitted at the limiting ring opening 9 on the outer periphery of the fixing connector 8 opening to ensure the sealing of the coolant pipe connection and the connection between the fixing connector 8 and the locking sleeve 11.

[0044] II. Working Principle

[0045] When the injection molding equipment is ready to perform injection molding, the external coolant pipe is first connected to the fixed joint 8 through the universal interface 10. Coolant (water + ethylene glycol) flows through the coolant pipe into the fixed joint 8 under the action of an external power source such as a water pump, and then flows into the inlet pipe 7.

[0046] The coolant is introduced from the second connecting section 6002 through the inlet pipe 7, and then enters the spiral cooling channel 5 inside the mold core 4 after passing through the first connecting section 6001. Since the spiral cooling channel 5 surrounds the mold core 4 in a spiral shape, the coolant can fully exchange heat with the mold core 4 during the flow process, carrying away the heat generated by the mold core 4 during the injection molding process.

[0047] After the coolant completes heat exchange in the spiral cooling water channel 5, it is discharged through the first connecting section 6001 and the second connecting section 6002 at the other end, and then through the corresponding inlet pipe 7, returning to the coolant circulation system to realize the circulation flow of coolant.

[0048] The trapezoidal cross-section design of the spiral cooling water channel 5 makes the flow velocity and flow rate distribution of the coolant more reasonable at different locations during the flow process, which helps to improve heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the equal longitudinal spacing of adjacent spiral cooling water channels 5 ensures that the coolant flow rate and cooling intensity received by all parts of the mold core 4 are consistent, thereby making the temperature distribution of the mold core 4 uniform.

[0049] Uniform core temperature ensures that the cooling shrinkage of various parts of the plastic part is basically the same during the molding process, avoiding the uneven shrinkage problem caused by uneven cooling in traditional molds, thus ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the plastic part and reducing the generation of scrap.

[0050] The design of the fitting between the inlet pipe 7 and the second connecting section 6002, as well as the threaded connection between the fixed connector 8 and the locking sleeve 11, ensures the stability of the inlet pipe 7 installation. Meanwhile, the limiting ring 9 restricts the connection depth, ensuring accurate installation. The first sealing ring 901 and the second sealing ring 902 respectively ensure the sealing of the coolant pipe connection and the connection between the fixed connector 8 and the locking sleeve 11, preventing coolant leakage and ensuring that the coolant can circulate normally within the designed channel, maintaining the normal operation of the mold cooling system.

[0051] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
