System.
Background technology
Injection molding machine is that the main of variously-shaped plastic products is made with molding die in thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics
Former.
As shown in Figure 1, injection molding is the thermophysical property using plastics, material is added from hopper 3 in barrel 2, material
Cylinder 2 is outer to be heated by heating collar 4, makes material at molten.The screw rod of rotation is driven under the power motor effect being arranged in barrel 2
1, so that material is fed forward and is compacted along screw channel under the action of screw rod 1, dual work of the material in external heat and screw rod shearing
With lower gradual plasticizing, melting and homogenizing, when screw rod 1 rotates, material is under the action of screw channel frictional force and shearing force, having melted
The material melted is pushed into the head of screw rod, and at the same time, screw rod 1 retreats under the reaction of material, and screw head is made to form storing
Plasticizing process is completed in space.Then, screw rod 1 will be stored up under 5 thrust of oil for injection the cylinder piston with high speed, the state of high pressure
Expect in cavity 8 of the melting charge in room 6 by nozzle injection to mold 7, the melt in cavity 8 is fixed by pressurize, cooling, solidification
After type, the opening mold 7 under the action of clamping 9 of mold 7, and stereotyped product is pushed up from mold 7 by liftout attachment
Go out and falls.

Speed, temperature, pressure etc., each single item factor all play the role of the quality of injecting products key.The process of injection molding is very short, because
This, the speed of injection is regarded as factor the most key in injection molding process.Injection speed is too fast, and melt is made to enter mould
Irregular flowing is formed when having cavity, the melt exhaust also resulted in mold is bad, finally surface of plastic products is made to occur
Quality problems;Injection speed is excessively slow, keeps the duration of pouring of the melt in mold long, welding occurs so as to cause plastic products
Trace is shorted, the defects of residual stress is excessive.Injection speed is divided into low, high, three stratum of superelevation by Injection Industry, close to obtain
Degree is uniform, stress is small, and size and weight are uniform, and the smooth high precision product in surface needs the speed for accurately controlling injection.
The movement velocity of mold follows the rule of " slow-to-fast-is slow " when injection, and major part injection molding machine uses screw of injection at present
Mode, after mold is closed, nozzle is moved forward and is closely connect with the sprue channel open of mold, finally in given injection speed
Under, screw rod is travelled forward with certain speed to be started to inject, and in the process, will ensure that the control of screw position effective molten
Body filling speed and loading.When mold cavity by polymer-filled to a certain extent after (about 95%), injection screw will
Certain pressure is kept on polymer, and so far, injection process terminates.
The speed control that can be seen that screw rod from entire injection process plays key effect in injection stage, right at present
The control mode of screw speed turns to closed loop from opened loop control, strengthens subsequent feedback control, and control algolithm has various
Iterative algorithm and fuzzy logic neural network etc., but most of verification that do not tested, in conjunction with actual industrial production,
Variety classes plastifying material and finished product requirement, it is different to the rate request of injection stage screw rod, it is most of still based on artificial
A large amount of empirical datas constantly debugged.
