Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blow molding die devices, specifically to blow molding dies used in blow molding machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the plastic packaging industry, blow molding machines are the core equipment for producing purified water barrels, and the structural design of the blow molding mold directly affects product quality and production efficiency. Traditional purified water barrel blow molding molds typically consist of symmetrically arranged left and right halves, with the opening and closing action achieved through a drive mechanism. The mold interior has cavities corresponding to the product shape and is equipped with simple venting channels and cooling water channels. However, existing blow molding molds have not effectively solved the problem of air accumulation in thin-walled areas during the molding process. Because some areas of the purified water barrel have thin walls, gas is difficult to expel quickly during blow molding. The accumulated gas causes defects such as bubbles and dents on the product surface, which not only reduces the product yield but also affects the appearance and performance of the purified water barrel. Therefore, it is imperative to optimize and improve the mold structure. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 A blow molding die for a blow molding machine includes a support 1 and a die slidably disposed inside the support 1. The die includes a left half die 2 and a right half die 3 symmetrically arranged. Both the left half die 2 and the right half die 3 are slidably disposed inside the support 1 via linear slide rails 4. Electric push rods 5 for driving the left half die 2 and the right half die 3 to move and close the die are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the support 1. Both the left half die 2 and the right half die 3 are provided with cavities 6 that match the shape of the product. Micropore arrays 7 are distributed on the surface of the cavities 6. Both the left half die 2 and the right half die 3 are provided with a combined exhaust system. The combined exhaust system includes a main exhaust groove 8 extending along the die mating surface and an auxiliary exhaust channel 9 communicating with the micropore array 7.

[0025] The micropore array 7 has a pore diameter of 0.05-0.2mm. The micropore array 7 is connected to the auxiliary exhaust channel 9 through a tapered transition section 10. The auxiliary exhaust channel 9 is horizontally arranged and its two ends are respectively connected to the main exhaust channel 8. The main exhaust channel 8 is vertically arranged and penetrates the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the left half mold 2 or the right half mold 3.

[0026] Both the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 are provided with cavities 11 for cooling water circulation. The upper and lower ends of the cavities 11 are respectively connected to a return water pipe 13 and a water inlet pipe 12.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This equipment achieves blow molding of pure water barrels based on the opening and closing motion of the mold, and the coordinated operation of the exhaust system and the cooling system. The bracket 1 provides support and sliding track for the mold. The electric push rod 5 drives the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 to perform mold closing and opening actions through the linear slide rail 4. The micropore array 7, auxiliary exhaust channel 9 and main exhaust groove 8 on the surface of the cavity 6 form a combined exhaust system, which quickly discharges the gas in the mold cavity during the blow molding process, avoiding the accumulation of air and the generation of bubble defects. The cavity 11 inside the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 realizes the cooling water circulation through the water inlet pipe 12 and the water return pipe 13 to cool the mold, accelerate the molding speed and ensure product quality.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] 1. Initial preparation: In the initial state, the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 are in the separated position within the bracket 1 via the linear slide rail 4, and the electric push rod 5 is in the retracted state, ready to receive raw materials.

[0030] 2. Mold closing: The electric push rod 5 extends and pushes the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 to slide towards the middle along the linear slide rail 4 respectively. At the same time, the heated and softened plastic material is fed into the mold cavity 6 from top to bottom. After the feeding is completed, the cavities 6 of the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 are joined and fitted together, completing the mold closing action and forming a complete pure water bucket mold cavity.

[0031] 3. Blow Molding: Air is blown from the bottom into the plastic material inside the cavity using an external air blowing device, causing the plastic material to expand and adhere to the inner wall of the cavity 6. During this process, the micropore array 7 on the surface of the cavity 6 captures residual gas. The gas enters the auxiliary exhaust channel 9 through the micropore array 7, and then flows from the auxiliary exhaust channel 9 into the main exhaust channel 8, finally exiting the mold through the main exhaust channel 8. This ensures that the gas inside the cavity is discharged in a timely manner, avoiding gas accumulation that could affect the molding quality.

[0032] 4. Cooling and shaping: During blow molding, cooling water flows from the inlet pipe 12 into the cavity 11 inside the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3. It circulates in the cavity 11, absorbs the heat of the mold, and then flows out from the return pipe 13. The cooling water circulation carries away the heat of the mold, so that the plastic material in the cavity cools and shapes quickly.

[0033] 5. Mold opening and part removal: After the plastic raw material cools and solidifies, the electric push rod 5 retracts, pulling the left half mold 2 and the right half mold 3 to slide in the opposite direction along the linear slide rail 4 to separate them. The mold is opened, the molded pure water bucket is taken out, and one blow molding cycle is completed, ready for the next production.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
