摘要:
Injection molding apparatus having a cavity insert (10) with integral inner and outer portions (136, 138) having a cooling fluid flow channel (166) extending therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, the cooling fluid flow channel (166) is formed by a groove (164) machined in the outer surface (162) of the inner portion (136). This brings the cooling fluid flow closer to the cavity (66) and improves cooling efficiency and reduces cycle time.

A method of making pairs of splits inserts used to injection mold bottle preforms. Machining a hollow outer part (46) of the pair of split inserts with an opening therethrough and outer portions (110) of two cooling conduits (112) extending from the opening therethrough to respective inlets and outlets. Making an inner part (44) of the pair of split inserts by injection molding a ceramic core with the required shape and investment casting the inner part around the ceramic core. The outer surface of the inner part (44) having grooves to partially form inner portions (84) of the two cooling fluid conduits (112). Then machining the cast inner part (44) to fit in the opening through the outer part (46). Mounting the outer part (46) around the inner part (44) with the inner and outer portions (84, 110) of the two cooling fluid (112) conduits aligned. Applying brazing material (94) between the inner and outer parts and heating them in a vacuum furnace to integrally braze them together. Finally, cutting the integral inner and outer parts in half to form the pair of split inserts with each of the split inserts having one of the cooling fluid (112) conduits therein.

Improved blow-molding prototype molding system, method and apparatus wherein a plastic container is first designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software to produce a geometric computer software model of a hollow plastic container of desired contour. This model is then used to generate a geometric computer software model of a corresponding mold cavity (78, 78'). This data file in turn provides the control signal for a cutting tool of a CNC three axis mold machining tool operating on a starting blank for each mold half (76, 76') of metal material having predetermined and constant length, width and thickness outside dimensions. A mold cavity (78, 78') is thereby automatically machined in a front face of this blank that constitutes one of the two major and parallel face planes of the mold half block. The other half of the mold cavity (78, 78') is similarly formed in the front face of a second mold half block (76, 76') that cooperates with the first mold block to form the two mold halves of a complete blow mold. The back faces of each of the mold halves as well as the top, bottom and two opposite sides remain as initially provided in the starting blank. Standardized major mold nest fixture components (52-74, 302-308, 72, 74) cooperate in assembly (50, 300, 500, 700, 800) to support, locate, orient and cool the associated prototype mold halves. The structure of each mold half is thus reduced to its simplest form, and instead all the functions of water cooling, mold orientation, alignment, structural support, reinforcement against mold closing and blowing stresses, and adjustment for aligning the two mating mold halves in operation, is provided for in the standardized and re-usable major mold assembly nest parts. Thus, mold construction time is significantly reduced as well as mold machine set-up and take-down time.

In an injection mold having a cavity formed between opposing faces of a fixed mold (1) and a movable mold (21) for defining a shape of a product, and cooling channels formed in the fixed mold (1) and the movable mold (21), respectively, for cooling resins injected into the cavity, cooling channels (24-27) of the movable mold (21) are formed at positions at least opposite to those where cooling channels (7-9) of the fixed mold (1) are not formed, thereby obtaining an injection mold capable of securing uniformity of optical properties of the obtained molded article, such as birefringence and causing no deterioration of mechanical properties of the molded article such as a deflection even when a cooling time is shortened in order to increase cycle of the injection molding.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a cavity for a mould-cavity system for the production of hollow mouldings, where the cavity has an element which is in essence hollow and cylindrical, where a cooling channel has been provided at the outer side of the hollow cylindrical element. To provide a cavity which is easy to produce and which can increase the effectiveness of cooling of the cavity, the invention proposes provision of one or more routing elements to form the cooling channel, where the routing elements and the hollow cylindrical element are separate parts.
