Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a side gate valve device for a hot runner,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a side gate valve device for a hot runner having a lifting runner pin for controlling the opening and closing of a gate of a nozzle using a resin pressure, The present invention relates to a side gate valve device for a hot runner capable of improving the reliability by improving the structure to ensure stable operation and relieving defective operation due to the phenomenon that the resin flows into the gaps due to assembly scattering or thermal expansion and solidifies will be.

Generally, an injection molding machine for molding a plastic product injects a resin material into a manifold from a mold cylinder in which a resin is melted. The injected resin is uniformly distributed along a resin flow path branched in the manifold, And is injected into a molding space, that is, a cavity, formed by the upper and lower cores, which are supplied by one or more nozzles, respectively, as a product molding frame.

Such an injection molding machine is configured to open and close a gate or an outlet by an elevating operation of a valve pin. When a relatively large number of molds are formed at a time according to the quantity of a molded product, a manifold type that supplies resin through the manifold is used , And a single type is used when producing a single product.

1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a hot runner valve apparatus for an injection molding machine for elevating and lowering a valve pin by using a high-pressure air as an operating pressure according to the prior art.

As shown in the figure, the valve apparatus of the injection molding machine for the multi-cavity mold of the prior art comprises a driving unit 100 and a valve unit 200, and high pressure air is used as a driving source for the elevating operation of the valve pin 210. That is, the driving unit 100 includes a plurality of air channels 110 and 120, which are channels for supplying and discharging high-pressure air from the outside, and a plurality of air channels 110 and 120, And the piston 140 in the cylinder 130 moves up and down by the inflowing high-pressure air. At this time, a valve pin 210 is connected to a lower end of the piston 130 to be interlocked. The valve pin 210 is structured to selectively open or close a gate or an outlet forming the tip of the nozzle 220 by moving up and down in conjunction with the piston 130.

Meanwhile, the valve device 200 includes a nozzle 220 in which a heater is wound to form a body to prevent solidification of the resin. Inside the nozzle 220, a valve pin 210 extends in a vertical direction So as to be raised and lowered. The resin channel 230 is formed around the valve pin 210 with a predetermined clearance between the outlet of the nozzle 220 and the resin channel 230 of the manifold 300, (Not shown).

When the operating pressure of the high pressure is selectively supplied through the air channels 110 and 120, the piston 140 is lifted or lowered, and at the same time, the valve pin 210 is interlocked So that the lifting operation is performed integrally. Accordingly, as the piston 140 is lifted and lowered, the outlet of the nozzle is opened or blocked. As a result, the resin supplied through the manifold 300 is supplied into or blocked from the mold through the outlet.

In brief, a valve gate (outlet) device for an injection molding machine, which operates the air pressure according to the prior art, supplies high-pressure air selectively into the cylinder 130 through the corresponding air channels 110 and 120 to lift the piston 140 And the valve pin 210 opens and closes the outlet (gate) of the nozzle in conjunction with the piston 140 at this time.

However, since the valve device according to the related art constructed as described above uses high-pressure air as an operating source for lifting and lowering the valve pin, it is necessary to employ a hermetic structure for preventing air leakage, (Compressors) are required, so that the structure becomes complicated due to the increase in volume, so that the installation space is limited, and maintenance and management are extremely poor.

In addition, when the present invention is applied to a multi-cavity mold having a plurality of nozzles, it is difficult to mass-produce a molded article having uniform quality due to the dispersion of dimensions of each nozzle.

In order to solve such a problem, a valve device according to the prior art is divided into a nozzle and a driving means. The nozzle receives the resin and forms a resin flow path for injecting the resin into the mold through the outlet provided at the tip end There has been proposed a structure in which a general valve structure is employed and a forward / reverse motor or a solenoid actuator for raising and lowering the valve pin by power supply is used as the driving means.

In the valve device having such a configuration, the entire size of the valve device can be downsized by adopting a structure in which a forward / reverse motor or an actuator driven by a power supply is employed as a driving source, so that the degree of freedom in designing a mold can be increased, The amount of movement of the pin can be controlled quickly and precisely.

However, in the valve devices of the present application filed by the present applicant, there is a disadvantage in that when a forward / reverse motor is used as a drive source, a reduction gear is provided and a cooling structure for cooling the motor is applied. .

On the other hand, in the case of the actuator using the solenoid principle, the structure can be relatively simplified, but there is a disadvantage in that the valve pin can not be smoothly driven at the time when the outlet moves from the opened or closed state to the relative position. This is not a solenoid actuator only. The valve pin in almost all hot runner devices is in the state that its end is inserted into the outlet when the outlet (gate) is shut off, and the other end is fitted in a bushing which supports linear movement. When the valve pin is lifted to open the outlet in this state, the stop resistance applied to the valve pin (the frictional resistance due to the supporting element such as the bushing supporting the valve pin and the frictional resistance when the outlet pin is fitted) It requires a considerable amount of power, that is, a large power. That is, most of the hot runner systems are driven by an output power higher than the rated output in order to overcome the frictional resistance acting at the time of moving to the relative position from the elevated or lowered state of the valve pin and to perform the lowering or raising operation In fact.

Accordingly, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased due to a demand for a high output driving source (oil / air cylinder, station, motor, actuator), and since the volume is increased, a mold for molding a compact and precise molded article There is a problem that the degree of application is greatly restricted.

Particularly, there has been a problem in that when the product is molded by molding a compact and precise part, or by using a resin containing a glass fiber or magnesium component with poor fluidity, lifting and lowering of the valve pin is not smooth.

When the resin flows, the molten state is maintained by the heater wound around the outer surface of the nozzle. However, in the state where the resin flow is stopped, the temperature of the nozzle The resin is solidified due to the heat loss occurring at the end portion. As a result, the injection process must be temporarily stopped until the solidified resin is melted again. Therefore, the productivity is lowered and the solidified resin is not completely melted There was a closed end causing a molding failure.

In order to solve this problem, a high-frequency or low-pressure heating means has been conventionally installed so as to enable rapid heating of the end portion of the nozzle. However, due to rapid heating at the nozzle end portion, There is a serious problem that shortens the life of the product.

Further, since the high-frequency and low-pressure heating means are installed around the nozzles, the overall volume of the valve device becomes large, thereby limiting the degree of freedom of design. Furthermore, it is not applicable to a mold for mass production of compact and precise molded products. There is a difficulty in maintenance due to the complexity of the apparatus, and an additional cost for high-frequency and low-pressure equipment is required.

In order to solve such a problem, the present applicant has proposed a hot runner valve device for an injection molding machine in Korean Patent No. 10-1290549. In the claims, a manifold having a resin furnace and a resin connected to one side thereof are supplied And a nozzle having a heater wound around an outer circumferential surface thereof for guiding the mold to a cavity side of the mold, wherein the nozzle has a mounting hole formed at a center thereof and a reduced diameter at a lower side thereof And the resin is lifted by the supply pressure of the resin and lifted by the returning means to form a resin flow path which receives the resin as the center, A body formed with a flow resistance portion whose diameter is reduced so as to resist the pressure of the supplied resin, And a flow control tip provided with a reduced diameter at a lower end thereof and positioned inside the nozzle at the time of ascending movement and at the time of descending movement through the inlet and hole to contact the mold and a take- A hot runner valve device for an injection molding machine is disclosed.

In the hot runner valve apparatus for injection molding machine having such a constitution, the elevating operation of the elevating pin is interlocked by combining the supplying operation pressure of the resin supplied to the inside of the nozzle and the returning element and the opening and closing of the gate of the nozzle Since it is an intermittent structure, it does not require the driving means including the conventional complicated structure of the pneumatic-pressure cylinder, the forward motor or the actuator, the structure is simple and the degree of freedom in designing the mold can be increased. And the degree of freedom of installation can be improved.

However, in the hot runner valve device for injection molding according to the related art, since the pressure of the resin passing through the inside of the lift pin is very high, it flows into the gap between the outer surface of the lift pin and the inner surface of the nozzle, Which not only deteriorates the reliability of the operation but also causes a serious problem that the operation becomes impossible when the inflow resin is solidified.

The present applicant has proposed a hot runner valve apparatus through Korean Patent No. 10-1154081 as a similar technology to the hot runner valve apparatus for the injection molding machine. In claim 1 of the present invention, the resin is supplied through the inlet hole on one side And a nozzle which is guided to a cavity of a mold through a blow-out port that forms a reduced diameter of the other side and is wound around a heater on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The hot runner valve device includes a nozzle A runner tip which is provided at one side of the body facing the air outlet port and through which the air outlet is selectively inserted and closed when the air inlet and the air outlet are connected to each other by connecting the body and the runner tip, Which forms a space in which resin is filled between the nozzle and the inner wall surface of the nozzle by removing one side of the nozzle The hot runner valve device further comprising a runner pin made up of a combination of the first and second valves.

The hot runner valve device with such a configuration can maintain the flowability of the resin satisfactorily as the gate is opened and closed by the runner pin without requiring a complicated structure driving means for opening and closing the gate of the nozzle, Good molding conditions can be obtained even for the resin containing the component.

However, in the hot runner valve apparatus according to the related art, since the pressure of the resin to be passed through the nozzle is very high, it greatly acts on the inner tip side of the nozzle. At this time, most of the resin is discharged to the mold through the gate of the nozzle, but some resin flows into the gap between the outer surface of the runner pin and the inner surface of the nozzle, resulting in poor runningability of the runner pin, There is caused a problem that the runner pin can not be moved up and down.

In addition, since the hot runner valve apparatus according to the related art is required to have a high precision dimension so as to have an appropriate clearance (3/1000 mm) with respect to the assembling components which are opposed to each other so that the lifting and lowering runner can smoothly move, And there is a problem that the mass productivity is low.

For example, in the case where the clearance between the part to be assembled with the lifting runner pin and the parts to be assembled is 4/1000 mm or more, the resin is infiltrated and solidified through the gap, causing the lifting runner pin to become inoperable, When the clearance between the runner pin and the parts to be assembled is less than 2/1000 mmk, there is a risk that the lifting operation becomes impossible due to friction with parts assembled when the lifting runner pin is heated by the thermal expansion of the metal There was a problem.

Therefore, a clearance for lifting and lowering operation is required in consideration of thermal expansion of the metal, and the workability is extremely poor, which is difficult to economically produce and has a serious problem of low durability.

The lifting runner pin 30 having such a configuration is formed with an outflow hole 33a on the outer surface of the slide portion 33-1 to be slidably inserted into the pin insertion hole portion 41a, The resin in the main resin passage 30a does not flow out as the pin 30 is positioned in the pin insertion hole 41a of the guide bushing 40 in a state in which the pin 30 is moved upward, The resin in the main resin passage 30a flows out as the portion of the outflow hole 33a is positioned on the side of the step extension hole portion 41b of the guide bushing 40 And the resin thus discharged is filled in the space between the outside of the elevating runner pin 30 on which the return spring 50 is installed and the inside of the nozzle tip 24 to form the bypass resin path 30b. The resin on the bypass resin path 30b flows into the main resin path 30a through the inflow hole 33b formed through the side of the extending end 33-2 of the lifting runner pin 30 and merged And is ejected through the linear ejection port 31a.

The return spring 50 is hooked on an upper end portion of a latching protrusion formed by protruding one end of the runner body 33, and the lower end portion of the return spring 50 is hooked on the inner side of the nozzle tip 24. That is, the nozzle 20 is provided with a space in which the return spring 50 can be installed on the inner circumferential surface of the nozzle tip 24 coupled by screwing, and the return spring 50, And the lower end portion is hooked on the inner end of the nozzle tip 24 to restrict the movement of the nozzle tip 24 in the upward direction.

The return spring 50 having such a configuration is provided to have an elastic repulsive force smaller than the supply pressure of the resin acting on the lifting runner pin 30 through the nozzle 20, When the resin is supplied to the inside of the lifting runner pin 30, the lifting runner pin 30 performs a lowering operation in conjunction with the supply pressure of the resin. On the contrary, when the resin supply pressure acting on the lifting runner pin 30 is removed, The pin 30 must be moved up

The return spring 50 according to the present invention may be replaced with various driving sources or structures as long as the return spring 50 has a structural characteristic capable of returning the lifting runner pin 30. For example, It may be applied or a motor or an actuator may be applied.

10 to 17 of the present invention are the same as those of the above-described embodiment of the present invention, and thus detailed description of the same configuration will be omitted.

However, this embodiment is characterized in that a plurality of outlet ports are formed in the runner tip 31, which is one of the elements constituting the lift-up runner pin 30, referring to the drawings.

That is, the main resin path 30a is formed at the center of the runner body 33, which is one of the elements constituting the lifting runner pin 30, and the resin flowing along the main resin path 30a is connected to the runner tip 31).

For this purpose, in this embodiment, a pair of branch outlets 31b and 31c are formed so that the resin is discharged to the side of the runner tip 31. The branch outlets 31b and 31c are connected to the main resin passage 30a .

In the present embodiment, it is proposed that the pair of branch outlets 31b and 31c are formed so as to discharge the resin through the side of the runner tip 31. However, in consideration of the size of the runner tip 31, May be formed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the hot runner valve apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described.

When the molten resin flows into the resin passage 20a of the nozzle 20, the molten resin flows into the guide bushing 40, which is engaged with the nozzle tip 24 of the nozzle 20, Is introduced into the main resin passage 30a through the inlet port a with the main resin of the main resin passage 30.

At this time, since the inner side of the upper surface of the lifting runner pin 30 is formed with the flow resistance portion 35 formed by decreasing the diameter while moving downward, the pressure of the resin acts on the flow resistance portion 35 As a result, the lifting runner pin 30 is moved downward to be exposed to the outside of the nozzle tip 24 constituting the nozzle 20. At the same time, the resin flowing along the main resin path 30a is discharged through the linear outlet port 31a The resin is injected into the cavity of the mold.

In the state where the lifting runner pin 30 is lowered, the slide portion 33-1 constituting the upper portion of the runner body 33 is positioned in the pin insertion hole 41a of the guide bushing 40 The resin is discharged through the outflow hole 33a formed on the side of the slide part 33-1 and the return spring 50 is moved toward the step expansion hole part 41b, And the introduced resin flows back to the main resin passage 30a through the inlet hole 33b formed in the side of the extending end portion 33-2 constituting the lower portion of the runner body 33, And is discharged through the linear outlet port 31a of the runner tip 31. [

That is, in a state in which the lifting runner pin 30 is lowered, the resin supplied to the lifting runner pin 30 is guided along the main resin path 30a of the runner body 33 to the linear outlet 31a of the runner tip 31 Through the straight outlet port 31a of the runner tip 31 through the outflow hole 33a formed in the runner body 33 and the bypass resin passage 30b formed in the inlet hole 33b, As a result, in the state in which the lifting and lowering runner pin 30 is moved downward, the resin flows in both the inside and the outside.

Then, when resin filling of the cavity of the mold is completed, the resin supply pressure acting on the lifting runner pin 30 is removed as the injection operation is stopped in the injection cylinder. Therefore, the lifting sprung pin 30 is moved upward by the resilient restoring force of the return spring 50 provided between the outer surface of the lifting runner pin 30 and the nozzle tip 24, thereby achieving the position return.

Accordingly, the flow-out hole 33a of the lifting runner pin 30 is located in the pin insertion hole 41a of the guide bushing 40, thereby preventing the residual resin from flowing.
