Design Calculations and Explanations

I. Analysis and Design of Molding Processes for Plastic Parts

1. Properties of PE-HD (High Density Polyethylene)

(1) Chemical and Physical Properties

The high crystallinity of PE-HD results in high density, tensile strength, high twisting temperature, viscosity, and chemical stability.PE-HD is more resistant to permeation than PE-LD.PE-HD has lower impact strength.The properties of PH-HD are mainly controlled by density and molecular weight distribution. The molecular weight distribution of PE-HD suitable for injection molding is very narrow. With a density of 0.91- 0.925 g/cm3, the material has good flow characteristics with MFRs ranging from 0.1 to 28. The higher the molecular weight, the poorer the flow properties of PH-LD, but it has better impact strength.PE-LD is semi-crystalline and has a high shrinkage after molding, between 1.5% and 4%.PE-HD is susceptible to environmental stress cracking. Cracking can be mitigated by using materials with very low flow characteristics to reduce internal stress. PE-HD dissolves easily in hydrocarbon solvents when the temperature is higher than 60°C, but its resistance to dissolution is somewhat better than PE-LD.

(2) Typical applications

Refrigerator containers, storage containers, household kitchen utensils, sealing lids, and so on.

(3) PE-HD injection molding process conditions

Drying: No drying is required if stored properly.

Melting temperature: 220-260℃. For materials with large molecules, it is recommended that the melting temperature range is between 200-250°C. Mold temperature: 50-95 ℃. 6mm wall thickness of plastic parts should use a higher mold temperature, 6mm wall thickness of plastic parts use a lower mold temperature. The cooling temperature of the part should be uniform to minimize differences in shrinkage. For optimal cycle time, the cooling channel should be no less than 8mm in diameter and within 1.3d of the mold surface ("d" is the diameter of the cooling channel).

Injection pressure: 70-105MPa Injection speed: Use high speed injection. Runner and gate: runner diameter between 4 and 7.5mm, runner length should be as short as possible. Various types of gates can be used, the length of the gate should not exceed 0.75mm. polyethylene molding, in the flow direction and the vertical direction of the shrinkage of the larger differences in the injection direction of the contraction rate is greater than the vertical direction of the contraction rate, prone to deformation and make the gate around the part of the brittleness increased; molding shrinkage is larger, prone to shrinkage holes; the cooling rate is slow, it must be sufficiently cooled, and the cooling rate should be uniform; the texture of the soft and easy to It is easy to be demolded, and can be forced to be demolded when there is shallow side concavity. Especially suitable for hot runner molds.

2. plastic raw material molding performance

? Crystalline material, low hygroscopicity

? Excellent fluidity, overflow value of about 0.02mm, fluidity sensitive to pressure changes

? Melt rupture may occur, contact with organic solvents can occur cracking

? Decomposition and burns if heated for long periods of time

? Cooling is slow, so it must be sufficiently cooled, it is desirable to have a cold cavity, the mold should have a cooling system

? Shrinkage range, shrinkage value is large, the direction is obvious, easy to deformation, warping, crystallinity and mold cooling conditions have a great impact on the shrinkage rate, should control the mold temperature, to maintain uniform and stable cooling

? High-pressure injection is suitable, the material temperature is uniform, the filling speed should be fast, and the pressure is sufficient

? It is not suitable to use direct gating, easy to increase the internal stress, or produce uneven contraction, the direction of the obvious increase in deformation, should pay attention to the selection of the location of the inlet, to prevent shrinkage holes, deformation

? Soft and easy to demold, molded parts have shallow side grooves can be forced to demold

3. The structure and dimensional accuracy of the plastic parts, surface quality analysis

? Structural analysis: analysis from the parts diagram, the overall round side of this part has six 4mm × 22MM and rectangular holes, mold design must be set up lateral parting core extraction mechanism, the mouth of the part has a small table.

? Dimensional accuracy: the precision of the molded part is 7 level, the precision requirement is low.

? Surface quality analysis:

The requirements of the part of the surface without defects, burrs, because the cold water bottle cover is often in contact with the human hand more, so the surface is required to be smooth, the best natural formation of rounded corners.

4. plastic molding method to determine

In summary, the structure of the plastic parts is relatively simple, and wall thickness uniformity, molding process is good, can be produced by injection into the method.

Second, the mold design of plastic parts

5. The number of cavities and arrangement

The precision requirements of the plastic parts are not high, is a small plastic parts, and the shape is simple, but also for mass production, the initial set of four-cavity mold for a mold form, the arrangement of cavities using a well-balanced arrangement of the H-type, and its layout is shown in the following figure: In order to ensure that the quality of the surface of the part required, choose a point gate molding, the gate is good, and the surface quality is good, and the surface quality is good. In order to ensure the surface quality of the plastic part, we choose the point gate molding, the gate position is arranged in the top of the plastic part,

The mold is used for double parting surface injection mold (three-plate type).

6. Select the model of injection molding machine and its parameters

(1) Calculation of injection volume: through Pro/E modeling analysis, the volume of the molded part is 27,265 mm, the mass of the molded part: the volume of runner condensate is not known at this time, so it can be estimated according to the mass of the molded part of 0.6 times, so the injection volume is as follows:

(2) Calculation of clamping force: the projection of the runner condensate (including gate) on the parting surface of the parting surface is about 1.2 times of the surface of the molded part, so it is about 2.3 times the surface of the molded part. The projected area of the runner condensate (including the gate) on the parting surface is still unknown at this time, according to the empirical formula: ( for each molded part on the projected area of the parting surface), use to estimate:

?

? The formula

? Check the injection pressure required for plastic parts 70-105Mpa, and the average pressure of the cavity is 30% -65% of the injection pressure, because the plastic parts for thin-walled plastic parts, and the gate for the point gate, the pressure loss is relatively large, so take a larger, then

(3) Selection of injection molding machine: According to the above calculation of the amount of injection and clamping force, you can choose the domestic XS-ZY-1000 screw injection molding machine The relevant parameters are as follows:

Nominal injection volume/

1000 Maximum thickness of the mold plate/mm 700

Other dimensions of the calibration can only be carried out after the mold frame is selected and the structure size is determined.

7. Determine the parting surface

The part requires smooth outer surface and no trace of gate at the lower edge. According to the principle of selecting the parting surface, the parting surface of the part should be selected as shown in the following A-A position, so that the concave model cavity is molded as a whole, and the outer surface of the part is smooth and easy to demold.
