With the rapid development of the plastics industry and the continuous improvement in strength of general and engineering plastics, the application scope of plastic products is also expanding, and the consumption of plastic products is also rising. A plastic mold is a tool for producing plastic products. It consists of several groups of parts, and there is a mold cavity in this group. During injection molding, the mold is clamped on the injection molding machine. The molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity and cooled and shaped in the cavity. Then the upper and lower molds are separated. The product is ejected from the mold cavity and away from the mold through the ejection system. Finally, the mold is closed again. For the next injection molding, the entire injection molding process is carried out in a cycle. Generally, plastic molds are composed of a movable mold and a fixed mold. The movable mold is installed on the movable template of the injection molding machine, and the fixed mold is installed on the fixed template of the injection molding machine. During injection molding, the movable mold and the fixed mold are closed to form the pouring system and cavity. When the mold is opened, the movable mold and the fixed mold are separated to facilitate removal of plastic products. Although the structure of the mold may vary depending on the type and performance of the plastic, the shape and structure of the plastic product, and the type of injection machine, the basic structure is the same. The mold is mainly composed of pouring system, temperature control system, molded parts and structural parts. Among them, the pouring system and molded parts are the parts that are in direct contact with plastics and change with the plastics and products. They are the most complex and changing parts of the mold and require the highest processing smoothness and precision.

2. Plastic compression mold
It includes two structural mold types: compression molding and injection molding. They are a type of mold mainly used to shape thermosetting plastics, and their corresponding equipment is a pressure forming machine. The compression molding method heats the mold to the molding temperature (usually 103°-108°) according to the characteristics of the plastic, then puts the measured compression molding powder into the mold cavity and feeding chamber, closes the mold, and the plastic is heated under high heat and high pressure. It will appear as a softened viscous flow, and after a certain period of time, it will solidify and become the desired product shape. The difference between injection molding and compression molding is that there is a separate feeding chamber. The mold is closed before molding. The plastic is preheated in the feeding chamber and becomes a viscous flow state. It is adjusted and extruded into the mold cavity under pressure and hardened to form. Compression molds are also used to form certain special thermoplastics such as difficult-to-melt thermoplastics (such as polyethylene fluoride) blanks (cold press molding), resin lenses with high optical properties, slightly foamed nitrocellulose automobiles Steering wheel etc. The compression mold is mainly composed of a cavity, a feeding cavity, a guide mechanism, an ejection component, a heating system, etc. Injection molds are widely used in packaging electrical components. The materials used in the manufacture of compression molds are basically the same as those in injection molds.
3. Plastic extrusion mold
A type of mold used to produce continuous-shaped plastic products, also called an extrusion molding head, is widely used in the processing of pipes, rods, monofilaments, plates, films, wire and cable coatings, special profiles, etc. The corresponding production equipment is a plastic extruder. Its principle is that solid plastic is melted and plasticized under the conditions of heating and screw rotation and pressure of the extruder, and is made through a die of a specific shape with the same cross-section as the die. of continuously selling plastic products. Its manufacturing materials mainly include carbon structural steel, alloy tools, etc. Some extrusion molds are also inlaid with diamond and other wear-resistant materials on the parts that need to be wear-resistant. The extrusion process is usually only suitable for the production of thermoplastic plastic products, and its structure is significantly different from injection molds and compression molds.
4. Plastic blow mold
It is a mold used to form hollow plastic container products (such as beverage bottles, daily chemical products and other packaging containers). According to the process principle, the main forms of blow molding include extrusion blow molding and injection blow molding. , injection stretch blow molding (commonly known as “injection stretch blow molding”), multi-layer blow molding, sheet blow molding, etc. The equipment corresponding to the blow molding of hollow products is usually called a plastic blow molding machine. Blow molding is only suitable for the production of thermoplastic products. The structure of the blow mold is relatively simple, and the materials used are mostly made of carbon.
5. Plastic blister mold
It is a kind of mold that uses plastic plates and sheets as raw materials to form some relatively simple plastic products. Its principle is to use the vacuum opening method or the compressed air molding method to make the plastic plates and sheets fixed on the concave mold or punch mold. After heating and softening, it is deformed and attached to the cavity of the mold to obtain the desired molded product. It is mainly used in the production of some daily necessities, food, and toy packaging products. Due to the low pressure during molding, the blister mold is mostly made of cast aluminum or non-metallic materials, and the structure is relatively simple.
6. High-expanded polystyrene mold
It is a mold that uses expandable polystyrene (bead-shaped material composed of polystyrene and foaming agent) raw material to form foam plastic packaging materials of various required shapes. The principle is that expandable polystyrene can be molded with steam in the mold, including simple manual molds and hydraulic press straight-through foam molds, which are mainly used to produce packaging products for industrial products. The materials used to make this type of mold include cast aluminum, stainless steel, green bronze, etc.

Plastic mold design elements:

Mold design and manufacturing are closely related to plastic processing. The success or failure of plastic processing depends largely on the mold design effect and mold manufacturing quality, and plastic mold design is based on the correct plastic product design. 1.Parting surface, which is the contact surface between the concave mold and the punch when the mold is closed. The selection of its position and form is affected by factors such as product shape and appearance, wall thickness, molding method, post-processing technology, mold type and structure, demoulding method and molding machine structure. 2. Structural parts, that is, sliders, inclined tops, straight top blocks, etc. of complex molds. The design of structural parts is very critical, related to the life of the mold, processing cycle, cost, and product quality. Therefore, designing the core structure of a complex mold requires a higher level of comprehensive ability on the part of the designer, and the designer should pursue a simpler, more durable, and more economical design solution as much as possible. 3.Mold accuracy, that is, card avoidance, precise positioning, guide pillars, positioning pins, etc. The positioning system is related to the appearance quality of the product, the quality and life of the mold. According to the different mold structures, different positioning methods are selected. The positioning accuracy control mainly relies on processing. The internal mold positioning mainly needs to be fully considered by the designer to design a more reasonable and easy to adjust Targeting. 4.The pouring system is the feed channel from the injection molding machine nozzle to the cavity, including the main channel, the runner, the gate and the cold material cavity. In particular, the selection of the gate position should be conducive to the molten plastic filling the mold cavity in a good flow state. The solid runner head and gate cold material attached to the product should be easily ejected from the mold and removed when the mold is opened ( Except for hot runner mold). 5.Plastic shrinkage rate and various factors that affect the dimensional accuracy of the product, such as mold manufacturing and assembly errors, mold wear, etc. In addition, when designing compression molds and injection molds, the matching of the process and structural parameters of the molding machine should also be considered. Computer-aided design technology has been widely used in plastic mold design.
