[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a mold structure that can solve the problem of air marks at the gate, including an upper mold base 1 and a lower mold base 2. A guide mechanism is connected between the upper mold base 1 and the lower mold base 2. A fixed mold 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower mold base 2, and a movable mold 4 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the upper mold base 1. Both the fixed mold 3 and the movable mold 4 have cavities 5. A gating hole 6 is provided on the upper mold base 1. A gating conduit 7 communicating with the gating hole 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper mold base 1. The diameter of the gating conduit 7 from top to bottom... The diameter of the vent holes gradually increases from bottom to top. The moving mold 4 has multiple horn-shaped feed holes 8 that communicate with the cavity 5. The upper side of the moving mold 4 has a cross-shaped runner 9 that communicates with the multiple horn-shaped feed holes 8. The center of the cross-shaped runner 9 is located directly below the gating hole 6. Both the upper mold base 1 and the moving mold 4 have multiple vent holes 10 that communicate with the cavity 5. The diameter of the vent holes 10 gradually increases from bottom to top. The upper side of the moving mold 4 has multiple vent grooves 11 that communicate with the vent holes 10 and the cross-shaped runner 9.
[0026] In the above embodiments, during casting, since the gating conduit 7 and the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8 adopt a gradient design, and since the diameter of the gating conduit 7 and the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8 gradually increases from top to bottom, the molten plastic will not suddenly accelerate its flow rate when entering the mold, thereby reducing the probability of gas retention. The cross-shaped runner 9 automatically diverts the flow, and some of the gas in the cross-shaped runner 9 is discharged into the vent hole 10 through the vent groove 11. The gas in the cavity 5 is accelerated to be discharged through multiple gradually designed vent holes 10 on the moving mold 4, thereby ensuring smooth gas discharge and avoiding gas streaks caused by gas retention and accumulation, effectively improving the appearance quality and molding accuracy of the injection molded product.
[0027] An electric heater 12 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper mold base 1. The electric heater 12 is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the pouring conduit 7. A temperature controller 13 for controlling the electric heater 12 is fixedly connected to the upper mold base 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, the electric heater 12 can locally heat the pouring conduit 7, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the molten plastic entering the gate area is uniform, avoiding gas stagnation and air streaks caused by excessive temperature difference, and also improving the fluidity of the molten plastic, effectively improving the smoothness of mold pouring.
[0029] The guiding mechanism includes multiple guide posts 14 fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the lower mold base 2. Multiple guide sleeves 15 corresponding to the guide posts 14 are fixedly connected to the upper mold base 1. The guide posts 14 are movably inserted into the guide sleeves 15. Through the cooperation between the guide posts 14 and the guide sleeves 15, the relative sliding stability between the moving mold 4 and the fixed mold 3 can be improved, and the mold closing accuracy can be improved.
[0030] The inner wall of the gating conduit 7, the wall of the gating hole 6, the wall of the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8, and the cross-shaped runner 9 are all coated with chromium-plated paint. The inner wall of the gating conduit 7, the wall of the gating hole 6, the wall of the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8, the cavity wall of the cavity 5, and the cross-shaped runner 9 are all surface polished, which can improve the surface smoothness and wear resistance of the mold, reduce friction and gas retention, and reduce the generation of air marks.
[0031] An insulating sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper mold base 1. The electric heater 12 is located inside the insulating sleeve 16, which can reduce the rate of heat loss and improve the heating efficiency of the electric heater 12.
[0032] The upper and lower ends of the guide sleeve 15 are rounded, which can improve the smoothness of the relative sliding between the guide sleeve 15 and the guide post 14 and reduce the wear of the guide sleeve 15 and the guide post 14.
[0033] An overflow prevention cylinder 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pouring conduit 7. A discharge pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the overflow prevention cylinder 17. A guide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall at the bottom of the overflow prevention cylinder 17. A flow collecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the vertical inner wall of the overflow prevention cylinder 17. This system can receive and discharge the raw materials overflowing from the pouring conduit 7, thereby improving the overflow prevention effect of the mold.
[0034] Working principle: During casting, the electric heater 12 is heated by the temperature controller 13 to inject molten plastic into the casting guide 7. Since the casting guide 7 and the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8 adopt a gradual design, and the diameter of the casting guide 7 and the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8 gradually increases from top to bottom, the molten plastic will not suddenly accelerate its flow rate when entering the mold, thereby reducing the chance of gas retention. The molten plastic flows into the cross-shaped runner 9 through the trumpet-shaped feed hole 8 for automatic diversion, which can ensure smooth flow of the molten plastic. Some of the gas in the cross-shaped runner 9 is discharged into the vent hole 10 through the vent groove 11. The gas in the cavity 5 is accelerated to be discharged through multiple gradually designed vent holes 10 on the moving mold 4, which can ensure smooth gas discharge and avoid gas streaks caused by gas retention and accumulation. This effectively improves the appearance quality and molding accuracy of the injection molded product, and also ensures that the temperature of the molten plastic entering the gate area is uniform, avoiding gas streaks caused by excessive temperature difference. It can also improve the fluidity of the molten plastic and effectively improve the smoothness of mold casting.
