1、 1 中文 3168 字 The Injection Molding 1、 The injection molding Injection molding is principally used for the production of the thermoplastic parts,although some progress has been made in developing a method for injection molding some thermosetting materials.The problem of injection a method plastic int

2、o a mold cavity from a reservoir of melted material has been extremely difficult to solve for thermosetting plastic which cure and harden under such conditions within a few minutes.The principle of injection molding is quite similar to that of die-casting.The process consists of feeding a plastic co

5、d plastic into the mold.The most commonly used system in the larger machines is the in-line reciprocating screw,as shown in Figure 2-1.The screw acts as a combination injection and plasticizing unit.As the plastic is fed to the rotating screw,it passes through three zones as shown ：feed,compression,

6、and metering.After the feed zone,the screw-flight depth is gradually reduced,force the plastic to compress.The work is converted to heat by conduction from the barrel surface.As the chamber in front of the screw becomes filled,it forces the screw back,tripping a limit switch that activates a hydraul

7、ic cylinder that forces the screw forward and injects the fluid plastic into the closed mold.An antiflowback valve presents plastic under pressure from escaping back into the screw flight. The clamping force that a machine is capable of exerting is part of the size designation and is measured in ton

8、s.A rule-of-thumb can be used to determine the tonnage required for a particular job.It is based on two tons of clamp force per square inch of projected area.If the flow pattern is difficult and the parts are thin,this may have to go to three or four tons. Many reciprocating-screw machines are capab

9、le of handing thermosetting plastic materials.Previously these materials were handled by compression or transfer molding.Thermosetting materials cure or polymerize in the mold and are ejected hot in the range of 375C 410C.Thermosetting parts must be allowed to cool in the mold in order or remove the

10、m without distortion. Thus thermosetting cycles can be faster.Of course the mold must be heated rather than chilled,as with thermoplastics. 3、 Basic Underfeed Mould A simple mould of this type is shown in Figure3-1,and the description of the design and the opening sequence follows.The mould consists

11、 of three basic parts,namely： the moving half,the floating cavity plate and the feed plate respectively. The moving half consists of The moving mould plate assembly,support block,backing 2 plate,ejector assembly and the pin ejection system.Thus the moving half in this design is identical with the mo

12、ving half of basic moulds. The floating cavity plate,which may be of the integer or insert-bolster design,is located on substantial guide pillars（ not shown） fitted in the feed plate.These guide pillars must be of sufficient length to support the floating cavity plate over its full movement and stil

13、l project to perform the function of alignment between the cavity and core when the mould is being closed.Guide bushes are fitted into the moving mould plate and the floating cavity plate respectively. The maximum movement of the floating cavity plate is controlled by stop or similar device.The movi

14、ng mould plate is suitably bored to provide a clearance for the stop bolt assembly.The stop bolts must be long enough to provide sufficient space between the feed plate and the floating cavity plate for easy removal of the feed system.The minimum space provide for should be 65mm just sufficient for

15、an operator to remove the feed system by hand if necessary. The desire operating sequence is for the first daylight to occur between the floating cavity plate.This ensures the sprue is pulled from the sprue bush immediately the mould is opened.To achieve this sequence,springs may be incorporated bet

16、ween the feed plate and the floating cavity plate.The springs should be strong enough to give an initial impetus to the floating cavity plate to ensure it moves away with the moving half.It is normal practice to mount the springs on the guide pillars（ Figure3-2） and accommodate them in suitable pock

17、et in the cavity plate. The major part of the feed system（ runner and sprue） is accommodated in the feed plate to facilitate automatic operation,the runner should be of a trapezoidal form so that once it is pulled from the feed plate is can easily be extracted.Note that if a round runner is used,hal

18、f the runner is formed in the floating cavity plate,where it would remain,and be prevented from falling or being wiped clear when the mould is opened. Now that we have considered the mould assembly in the some detail,we look at the cycle of operation for this type of mould. The impressions are fille

19、d via the feed system（ Figure3-1（ a） and after a suitable dwell period,the machine platens commence to open.A force is immediately exerted by the compression springs,which cause the floating cavity plate to move away with the moving half as previously discussed.The sprue is pulled from the sprue bus

20、h by the sprue puller.After the floating cavity plate has moved a predetermined distance,it is arrested by the stop bolts.The moving half continues to move back and the moldings,having shrunk on to the cores,are withdrawn from the cavities.The pin gate breaks at its junction with the runner（ Figure3

21、-1（ b） . The sprue puller,being attached to the moving half,is pulled through the floating cavity plate and thereby release the feed system which is then free to fall between the floating cavity plate and the feed plate.The moving half continues to move back until the ejector system is operated and

22、the moldings are ejected（ Figure3-1（ c） .When the mould is closed,the respective plates are returned to their molding position and the cycle is repeated. 4、 Feed System It is necessary to provide a flow-way in the injection mould to connect the nozzle（ of the injection machine ） to each impression.T

23、his flow-way is termed the feed 3 system.Normally the feed system comprises a sprue,runner and gate.These terms apply equally to the flow-way itself,and to the molded material which is remove from the flow-way itself in the process of extracted the molding. A typical feed system for a four-impressio

24、n,two plate-type mould is shown in Figure4-1.It is seen that the material passes through the sprue,main runner,branch runner and gate before entering the impression.As the temperature of molten plastic is lowered which going through the sprue and runner,the viscosity will rise；however,the viscosity

25、is lowered by shear heat generated when going through the gate to fill the cavity.It is desirable to keep the distance that the material has to travel down to a minimum to reduce pressure and heat losses.It is for this reason that careful consideration must be given to the impression layout gates de

26、sign. 4.1.Sprue A sprue is a channel through which to transfer molten plastic injected from the nozzle of the injector into the mold.It is a part of sprue bush,which is a separate part from the mold. 4.2.Runner A runner is a channel that guides molten plastic into the cavity of a mold. 4.3.Gate A ga

27、te is an entrance through which molten plastic enters the cavity.The gate has the following function： restricts the flow and the direction of molten plastic； simplifies cutting of a runner and moldings to simplify finishing of parts； quickly cools and solidifies to avoid backflow after molten plasti

28、c has filled up in the cavity. 4.4.Cold slug well The purpose of the cold slug well,shown opposite the sprue,is theoretically to receive the material that has chilled at the front of nozzle during the cooling and ejection phase.Perhaps of greater importance is the fact that it provides position mean

29、s whereby the sprue bush for ejection purposes. The sprue,the runner and the gate will be discarded after a part is complete.However,the runner and the gate are important items that affect the quality or the cost of parts. 5、 Ejection A molding is formed in mould by injecting a plastic melt,under pr

30、essure,into an impression via a feed system.It must therefore be removed manually.Furthermore,all thermoplastic materials contract as they solidify,which means that the molding will shrink on to the core which forms it.This shrinkage makes the molding difficult to remove. Facilities are provided on

31、the injection machine for automatic actuation of an ejector system,and this is situated behind the moving platen.Because of this,the moulds ejector system will be most effectively operated if placed in the moving half of the mould,i.e. the half attached to the moving platen.We have stated previously

32、 that we need to eject the molding from the core and it therefore follows that the core,too,will most satisfactorily be located in the moving half. The ejector system in a mould will be discussed under three headings,namely：（ ）the ejector grid；（ ） the ejector plate assembly； and（ ） the method of ejection. 5.1、 Ejector grid The ejector grid（ Figure5-1） is that part of the mould which supports the mould
