1、 Basic concepts of injection molds
Injection mold is an indispensable tool in the production process of industrial products. It is a mold used for plastic molding on injection molding machines, which is used to inject molten plastic into the mold and form the required workpiece or product under the action of the mold.
2、 Classification of injection molds
According to the shape and requirements of the product, it can be divided into various types such as flat molds, cavity molds, bending molds, angle molds, and forming molds; According to different production methods, it can be divided into various types such as cooling water channel, hot runner, temperature control, automatic demolding, etc.
3、 The structure of injection molds
Injection molds are mainly composed of mold plates, mold cores, guide columns, guide sleeves, top pins, cooling water channels, nozzles, demolding devices, and other parts. Each component needs to work strictly together to form a complete injection production system.
4、 Materials for making injection molds
The production materials of injection molds can be divided into two categories: metal materials and non-metallic materials. The metal materials are mainly steel, while non-metallic materials include plastic, rubber, foam and other materials.
5、 Manufacturing process of injection molds
The manufacturing process of injection molds can be divided into multiple stages such as mold design, processing, assembly, debugging, and quality inspection, each of which requires professional skills and strict process management.
6、 Maintenance and upkeep of injection molds
Injection molds require regular maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, testing, and other aspects, otherwise it will affect the lifespan and production efficiency of the molds.
The above is the basic knowledge of injection molds. Mastering this knowledge can help you better understand and use injection molds, improve production efficiency and product quality.
