Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, specifically to a plastic pipe mold. Background Technology
[0002] Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic commonly used in demanding industrial environments, such as medical devices, automotive, and aerospace. PEEK exhibits exceptional high-temperature resistance, with a long-term operating temperature up to 260°C, which is crucial for applications in high-temperature environments. Its high mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and creep resistance make it suitable for high-load applications. Strong chemical stability, resisting various corrosive media, may be attractive for chemical or medical equipment. Biocompatibility is also critical, especially in the medical field, requiring compliance with relevant certifications. Furthermore, PEEK possesses excellent insulation properties, making it suitable for the electronics and electrical industries.
[0003] However, PEEK products are costly due to expensive raw materials, demanding processing equipment, a melting point of 343℃, and being a semi-crystalline material with high melt viscosity and poor fluidity, making it prone to internal stress and shrinkage. Therefore, careful attention must be paid to the location and size of the gate during mold design. Molding requires high temperature and pressure, making processing very difficult and placing high demands on mold design and process control, potentially leading to challenges in production.

[0007] The cold material well is connected to the glue outlet;
[0008] The transition area between the glue outlet and the cold material well adopts an R-angle structure, and the value of the R-angle is between 2mm and 5mm.
[0009] Preferably, the center of the column is provided with an axially distributed channel, and the top end of the channel is connected to the groove at the top end through a drainage groove.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the column is provided with radially distributed diversion holes, which are connected to the channel.
[0011] Preferably, the inlet includes a base plate and a tube disposed at the center of the base plate, the bottom end of the tube penetrating the base plate and being tapered, and the base plate having at least three heat dissipation holes.
[0012] Preferably, the mold core is made of hot work die steel with a hardness HRC between 48 and 52.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the cavity is provided with a nitriding layer, the thickness of which is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.
