Classification of injection molds

Hello, come to consult our products !

What types of injection molds can be divided into?

Common mold classifications can be divided into the following categories:

1.Single parting surface injection mould 

When the mold is opened, the movable mold and the fixed mold are separated, and the plastic part is taken out, which is called a single parting surface mold, also called a double plate mold. It is the simplest and most basic form of injection molds. It can be designed as a single-cavity injection mold or a multi-cavity injection mold according to needs. It is the most widely used injection mold.

2.  Double parting surface injection

The double parting surface injection mold has two parting surfaces. Compared with the single parting surface injection mold, the double parting surface injection mold adds an intermediate plate (also called movable gate plate, It is equipped with gates, runners and other parts and components required by the fixed mold), so it is also called three-plate (moving template, intermediate plate, fixed template) injection mold, which is often used for single-type point gate feeding For injection molds with multiple cavities or multiple cavities, when the mold is opened, the intermediate plate is separated from the fixed template at a fixed distance on the guide post of the fixed mold, so that the condensate of the pouring system can be taken out between the two templates.

3. Injection mold with lateral parting and core pulling mechanism  

When the plastic part has side holes or undercuts, it is necessary to use a core or slider that can move laterally. After injection molding, the movable mold first moves down for a certain distance, and then the inclined section of the bending pin fixed on the fixed template forces the slider to move outward, and at the same time, the push rod of the demolding mechanism pushes the pusher plate to make the plastic part self-molding Take off the core.

4. Injection mold with movable molded parts

Due to the special structure of plastic parts, the injection mold is required to be equipped with movable forming parts, such as movable punches, movable concave molds, movable inserts, movable thread cores or rings, etc., which can be combined with the plastic parts during demolding. Move out of the mold together, and then separate from the plastic part.

 5. Automatic thread unloading injection mold

For plastic parts with threads, when automatic demolding is required, a rotatable thread core or ring can be set on the mold, and the mold opening action or the rotation mechanism of the injection molding machine can be used, or a special transmission device can be set to drive the thread. The core or the threaded ring rotates, thereby releasing the plastic part.  

6.runnerless injection mold   

 Runnerless injection mold refers to the method of adiabatic heating of the runner to keep the plastic between the nozzle and the cavity of the injection molding machine in a molten state, so that there is no condensate in the pouring system when the mold is opened and the plastic part is taken out. The former is called adiabatic runner injection mold, and the latter is called hot runner injection mold.  

7.right angle injection mold   

 Right-angle injection molds are only suitable for angle injection molding machines. The difference from other injection molds is that the feeding direction of this type of mold is perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the mold during molding. His main channel is opened on both sides of the parting surface of the moving and fixed molds, and its cross-sectional area is usually constant. This is different from the molds used in other injection molding machines. The end of the main channel is to prevent injection molding machines. For the wear and deformation of the nozzle and the inlet end of the main runner, replaceable runner inserts can be set.  

8. Injection mold with demoulding mechanism on fixed mold  

In most injection molds, the demolding device is installed on the side of the movable mold, which is conducive to the work of the ejector device in the mold opening and closing system of the injection molding machine. In actual production, because some plastic parts are limited by the shape, it is better to leave the plastic part on the side of the fixed mold for molding. This makes the plastic part eject from the mold, and it is necessary to set a release on the side of the fixed mold. mechanism.
