摘要:
A method and an apparatus of injection molding articles of thermoplastic material. The method includes initially forcing molten plastics material into an injection mold in an amount sufficient for forming the article. Subsequently, a flowable medium is forced into the injection mold with a pressure which distributes the plastics material uniformly over the surface of the mold cavity of the injection mold so as to form a hollow body. The hollow body is then cooled while the pressure of the medium is maintained. Finally, the pressure of the medium is released and the molded article is removed from the injection mold. The pressure of the medium in the mold cavity is controlled and/or varied at least temporarily until the plastics material has cooled. The apparatus for carrying out the method includes a pressure reservoir for the medium which is connectible to the injection mold through lines. The lines include control and/or regulating elements.

A method and an apparatus for producing plastic objects with hollow spaces is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: injecting a sufficient amount of plastic melt into the cavity (2) of the molding tool (1); simultaneously and/or subsequently injecting a pressurized fluid into the melt by means of a fluid injection nozzle (7); allowing the molded part (6) to cool; relieving the cavity (2) of the pressure of the compressed fluid, and demolding the molded part, while plastic melt is driven out into at least one overflow cavity (8), which is connected to the cavity (2). According to the invention, the volume of the overflow cavity (8) is changed, and in particular enlarged. This volume increase advantageously is controlled or regulated. The advantage achieved thereby is that the injection molding cycle, especially the overflow of melt into the overflow cavity (8), remains controllable by simple means.

A method and an apparatus are disclosed for producing plastic objects with solid regions and hollow regions. The method has the following steps: a) blocking off a part of the cavity (2) of a molding tool (1), so that little or no plastic melt can reach the blocked-off region (8); b) injecting plastic melt into the unblocked region (9) of the cavity (2) of the molding tool (1); c) releasing the blockage, so that plastic melt can reach the previously blocked-off region (8) of the cavity (2); d) injecting a pressurized gas into the melt by means of at least one fluid injection nozzle (7), so that the melt injected into the molding tool is distributed into the desired regions of the cavity (2) while forming a hollow space and is pressed against the cavity walls of the molding tool (1); e) allowing the molded part (6) to cool; f) relieving the cavity (2) of the pressure of the pressurized fluid; and g) demolding the molded part. The advantage achieved thereby is that solid regions and hollow regions are formed in the molded part in a predetermined manner.
摘要:
A device for injection molding articles of plastics material having hollow spaces. The device includes a molding tool with a mold cavity. Plastics material melt is fed to the mold cavity through a nozzle. Another pressurized medium is supplied to the mold cavity through a hollow needle at a location different from the location of the nozzle. A needle core is mounted in the hollow needle. The needle core is axially displaceable within certain limits. The opening of the hollow needle to the mold cavity can be opened and closed or its cross-sectional area can be varied by moving the needle core.

摘要:
The proposal is for a device for injection molding plastic items enclosing hollow spaces with which a further pressurised medium like air, gas or a fluid can be introduced through a hollow needle (5) at a point differing from the nozzle into a mould (1), the mould hollow or cavity (4) of which can be filled with molten pastic through a nozzle. There is a needle core (9) which can be moved axially to a limited extent in the hollow needle (5) and it is possible via this needle core (9) to vary the cross-section of or open and close the aperture (16) of the hollow needle (6) opening into the mould hollow or cavity (4). The needle core (9) bears a thickened head or plate (10) in front of the end of the aperture in the hollow needle, the outside diameter of which corresponds at least approximately to the outside diameter of the hollow needle, so that it forms, with the aperture end (6) of the hollow needle (5), a radially directed splitting valve. In relation to the hollow needle (5), the needle core (9) is axially supported by spring means (23). It is important here that these spring means (23) continuously engage with the needle core (9) in the closing direction of the aperture of the splitting valve (16) and that the needle core (9) can be moved against the spring means (23) in the opening direction by a remote-controlled driving device (17, 18).
摘要:
It is proposed that a pressure control device and/or pressure regulating device (8) be used for a fluid medium, in particular air or gas, preferably nitrogen, which is to be supplied to an injection mold in addition to the molten plastic, this pressure control device and/or pressure regulating device (8) being provided as a stationary, but preferably as a mobile unit between a pressure generator/pressure accumulator (7) and an injection system associated with the injection mold (3), e.g., in a nozzle head or add-on building block. The device has a main line (21) which leads from the pressure generator/pressure accumulator (7) to the injection system (27) and which is switchable by means of valve control only in such a way that it either lets through or blocks the inflow of media, a first branch line (28) leading to a receiver side of a pressure sensor (29) whose other receiver side is sensitive to the pressure of the medium in the injection mold, and a second branch line (30) which can be switched so as to let through or block flow via a valve control influenced by the pressure sensor (29) and, in so doing, forms a media outflow from the injection mold, in particular a return of media to the pressure generator/pressure accumulator (7). Essential features of this device consist in that the main line (21) branches into at least two parallel flow paths (23a and 23b), that each flow path (23a and 23b) is outfitted with a media inflow control valve (24a and 24b) which may be operated to let through or block flow, as required, that the media inflow control valves (24a and 24b) have different flow cross sections (25a, 25b), and that these media inflow control valves (24a and 24b) can be controlled individually and/or jointly in a stepwise manner depending on the pressure difference determined by the pressure sensor (29).
摘要:
An apparatus and method provides that before, during, and/or after the plastic objects have been injection molded, a portion of the first plastic component, the second material, and/or a mixture of the two components is conveyed to at least one storage element with a variable volume. This element adjoins the flow path of the material melt. After completion of the injection molding process of the plastic objects and/or before the material is injected for the next plastic object to be produced, the plastic or the material stored in a storage element with a variable volume is conveyed to the flow path of the melt of the plastic or material. This frees the melt flow path of a mixture of the two plastic components and/or obtains a desired material mixture for producing the next plastic object.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing multiple-layer molded articles with an outer skin of compact thermoplastic material and a core of foamed thermoplastic material includes initially introducing the material for the skin into a mold cavity in a quantity sufficient for the desired thickness of the skin and subsequently feeding into the mold cavity the material for the core to which the expanding agent has been added. During and/or after being introduced into the mold cavity, the core material containing expanding agent is temporarily subjected by means of an additional gas and/or a pressurized, low-boiling liquid to an active pressure which exceeds the gas pressure of the expanding agent. Subsequently, the additional gas or the low-boiling liquid is removed from the hollow space which is still free of skin material and core material.
