摘要:
An injection molding method and nozzle for use therein wherein first and second variable pressures are applied to a piston of a valve mechanism of the nozzle so that a differential fluid pressure on the piston causes a tip portion of the valve mechanism to alternately open and close. In this way, the tip portion communicates the flow of resin from a nozzle body of the nozzle to an injection aperture of a mold. Differential pressure on the piston prevents a fluid which distributes the molten resin over the interior surfaces of the mold from entering the flow path of the molten resin in the nozzle body. The fluid preferably is a gas, such as nitrogen. Preferably, the piston is mounted for reciprocating movement within the nozzle body and the first pressure is provided by the resin during resin injection and the second pressure is partially applied by the nitrogen gas. Preferably, the valve mechanism includes a counterbalance mechanism which is set to prevent fluid entry into the mold until the tip portion of the valve mechanism is closed. The resulting article is then cooled to a temperature below the softening point of the resin, the pressure is relieved within the article and the mold is opened to remove the article. The nozzle may also be utilized in making structural foam articles from a foamable resin. The pressure within the mold is relieved to permit foaming by the foamable resin after injection of the foamable resin.

A nozzle for the injection molding of thermoplastic materials includes a nozzle body having a first bore for establishing a flow path for a molten thermoplastic. A first end of the nozzle body is adapted for fluid connection with a sprue of an associated mold body, and a second end thereof is adapted for fluid connection with an end of an associated injection molding machine. The nozzle body also includes a second bore. A first valve assembly, which is adapted for reciprocating movement in the nozzle body second bore, is provided to control the flow of plastic through the nozzle body. The first valve member includes a body having a tip portion and a fluid passage formed in the body and open at one end through the tip portion. A connection member is provided for communicating the valve body fluid passage with an associated source of pressurized fluid. An actuator member is provided for selectively actuating the first valve member to a closed position thereby preventing the flow of plastic through the nozzle body. A second valve assembly is provided for preventing the flow of plastic through the valve body fluid passage and for regulating the flow of pressurized fluid in both directions through the valve body fluid passage.

@ Injection apparatus suitable for supplying in-mold thermoset coating material into a compression molding tool is provided, which injection apparatus comprises a housing (10) the forward end of which comprises an outlet nozzle (11) and an outlet channel (12) extending through the outlet nozzle, the forward terminus of the outlet channel being an outlet port (13). First and second material supply channels (14 and 15) extend within the housing from first and second supply inlet ports (16 and 17) in the housing, respectively, to a single common junction with the outlet channel. A shut-off rod (26) is slideably disposed within the outlet channel, being adapted to provide a sealing closure of the outlet port in a first, forward position and being retractable from the forward position to a second position in the outlet channel rearward of the junction of the material supply channels with the outlet channel. In both the forward and retracted position, the shut-off rod forms a sealing engagement with the outlet channel rearward of the junction of the two material supply channels with the outlet channel. Significantly, the first and second material supply channels are in communication with each outer via only a single flow-path, at least when the shut-off rod is in the forward position.

A shut-off nozzle includes a nozzle body portion having an in-nozzle flow path formed therein, and a needle valve that is inserted into the nozzle body portion coaxially with the nozzle body portion and is configured to open and close an outlet of the in-nozzle flow path. A cylindrical portion is formed in the vicinity of a tip portion of the needle valve. A cylindrical hole portion is formed in the vicinity of a tip portion of the in-nozzle flow path, the cylindrical hole portion being a cylindrical hole. The cylindrical portion is configured to be fitted into the cylindrical hole portion in a case where the needle valve is driven in a forward direction.

A method and apparatus for equalizing gate pressure of a hot runner nozzle are disclosed. The nozzle includes a nozzle housing defining a primary melt channel, a first nozzle tip having a first secondary melt channel in fluid communication with the primary melt channel, a second nozzle tip having a second secondary melt channel in fluid communication with the primary melt channel, and a valve disposed in the primary melt channel for selectively opening and closing a downstream end of the primary melt channel to control a flow of melt to the first and second secondary melt channels. In some embodiments, the valve is configured to selectively open when a pressure of the melt reaches a threshold peak pressure. In some embodiments, the valve includes a valve stem that cooperates with the primary melt channel to block a flow of melt therefrom until the threshold peak pressure is established.

A hot runner installable to a hot half of an injection molding apparatus. The hot runner comprising a manifold, a nozzle having a nozzle body and a nozzle channel running therethrough, and a valve pin bushing disposed in a bore in the nozzle body. The valve pin bushing including a body, a projecting portion and a bore extending therethrough to accommodate a valve pin, wherein the projecting portion extends to the nozzle channel to define an annular section of the nozzle channel. The upstream side of the projecting portion includes a flow restricer disposed in the annular section, wherein the downstream side of the reflecting portion includes a narrow portion. The flow restricter is separated from the nozzle channel by a gap that defines a restricted region and the narrow portion defines an unrestricted region of the annular section.
