Two Classifications Of Injection Molds

    The injection mold consists of a movable mold and a fixed mold. The movable mold is installed on the moving 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 a gating system and a cavity. When the mold is opened, the movable mold and the fixed mold are separated to take out the plastic product. In order to reduce the heavy workload of mold design and manufacturing, most injection molds use standard mold bases.

    Although the structure of the mold may vary due to the variety and performance of plastics, the shape and structure of plastic products, and the type of injection machine, the basic structure is the same. The mold is mainly composed of a pouring system, temperature regulation system, forming parts, and structural parts. There are two types of injection molds.

    When the single parting surface injection mold is opened, the movable mold and the fixed mold are separated to take out the plastic parts, which is called a single parting surface mold, also known as a double-plate mold. It is the simplest and most basic form of injection mold. 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.

    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 a middle plate that can be moved locally in the fixed part. It is often used for single-cavity or multi-cavity injection molds with point gate feeding. When the mold is opened, the intermediate plate is separated from the fixed plate by a certain distance on the guide column of the fixed mold, so that it can be taken out between the two plates. Pouring system condensate. The double-parting surface injection mold has a complex structure, high manufacturing cost, and difficult parts processing. It is generally not used for the molding of large or extra-large plastic products.
