Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foaming molds, and in particular to a movable and quick-use foaming mold frame structure for automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] A foaming mold is a specialized mold used to manufacture foamed plastic products. Its working principle involves directly filling the mold with foaming resin, which is then heated and melted to form a gas-liquid saturated solution. Through nucleation, numerous tiny bubble nuclei are formed, which subsequently grow to eventually create the foamed plastic part.

[0003] The English name for foaming mold is "foaming mold". Based on different foaming methods, foaming molds can be divided into three types: physical foaming, chemical foaming, and mechanical foaming. Each method has its unique process flow and application areas.

[0004] The traditional method involves using a press to compress and foam the material. However, presses are slow to operate, have low production efficiency, large footprint, and high operating costs. Utility Model Content
