Description
本發明是有關於一種熱澆道系統,特別是關於一種多模穴之群組式平衡填充熱澆道系統。This invention relates to a hot runner system, and more particularly to a multi-cavity group of balanced fill hot runner systems.
射出成型技術為目前業界常使用之塑膠成形技術之一,射出成型的原理是利用射出成型機將塑膠顆粒加熱熔化為熔膠,再透過柱塞或螺桿將熔膠加壓後經由噴嘴注入射出成型模之模穴中,經一段時間的冷卻即可開模取得成品。而由於現今射出成型之成品朝向短、小、輕、薄及量產的方向發展,因此,可在一道射出製程中形成多個成品的一模多穴之模具成為射出成型模的主流,以因應大量且低成本的射出成型需求。Injection molding technology is one of the plastic forming technologies commonly used in the industry. The principle of injection molding is to use the injection molding machine to heat and melt the plastic particles into a melt adhesive, and then pressurize the melt through a plunger or a screw to inject and shape through the nozzle. In the mold cavity, after a period of cooling, the mold can be opened to obtain the finished product. However, since the finished products of injection molding are developing in the direction of short, small, light, thin and mass production, a mold with multiple molds can be formed in one injection process to become the mainstream of the injection molding mold, in order to cope with A large number of low cost injection molding needs.
在一模多穴之射出成型過程中,熔膠在各個流道中可平衡流動使熔膠能在相同的時間中填滿每個模穴是相當重要的,若熔膠在各流道中不平衡的流動,可能會導致局部模穴中熔膠填充不足而產生「短射」的情形,反之,若使用者為解決短射問題而提高填充時間,則會造成局部模穴之成品過度填充而產生裂紋、破裂、翹曲或變形。In the injection molding process of a multi-hole, it is very important that the melt can balance the flow in each flow channel so that the melt can fill each cavity at the same time, if the melt is unbalanced in each flow channel. The flow may cause a shortage of melted glue in the local cavity, resulting in a "short shot". Conversely, if the user increases the filling time to solve the short shot problem, the finished product of the local cavity will be overfilled and cracked. , cracking, warping or deformation.
射出成型模根據其澆道的性質可大致區分為冷澆道及熱澆道,其中熱澆道是在熔膠於澆道流動的過程中持續加熱,使溶膠在澆道中保持熔融的狀態而不凝固,因此,相對於冷澆道,熱澆道可減少澆道中廢料的產生,且能減少澆道廢料取出的時間,且由於澆道中熔膠在兩道的射出成型製程中不會凝固,可大幅減少射出成型機的射出壓力及整體的成型週期。但熱澆道的缺點是熔膠在熱澆道的流動過程中,常因「剪切熱效應」導致接近熱澆道側壁的熔膠溫度大於熱膠道中心的熔膠溫度,請參閱第1圖,為一模八穴之射出成型模10,由於剪切熱效應的影響使得位於左側的4個內側模穴11會較位於右側的4個外側模穴12早完成塑料的填充,使得外側模穴12發生短射的問題,此外,該4個內側模穴11亦可能因剪切力的些微差異導致填充時間不同,而衍生成品的成型問題。The injection molding die can be roughly classified into a cold runner and a hot runner according to the nature of the runner, wherein the hot runner is continuously heated during the flow of the melt in the runner, so that the sol remains molten in the runner without Solidification, therefore, the hot runner can reduce the generation of waste in the runner relative to the cold runner, and can reduce the time for the sprue waste to be taken out, and since the melt in the runner does not solidify in the two injection molding processes, Significantly reduce the injection pressure of the injection molding machine and the overall molding cycle. However, the hot runner has the disadvantage that during the flow of the hot runner, the temperature of the melt near the side of the hot runner is often greater than the temperature of the melt at the center of the hot runner due to the "shearing heat effect". See Figure 1. For the injection molding die 10, the four inner cavity points 11 on the left side are filled with the plastics earlier than the four outer cavity holes 12 located on the right side, so that the outer cavity 12 is completed. The problem of short shots occurs. In addition, the four inner mold cavities 11 may also have different filling times due to slight differences in shearing forces, and the forming problems of the finished products.
為解決上述之剪切熱效應造成之填充時間不均的問題,美國BTI((Beaumont. Technologies, Inc)在澆道中加入了熔膠翻轉的設計(US 6,077,470、US 6,503,438)使得熔膠於澆道的流動中產生翻轉,重新分佈熔膠因剪切熱效應產生的溫度不均,而平衡各熔穴的填充時間。或在其他習知技術中可透過改變澆口位置的溫度,使得熔膠在各澆口位置的流速改變,而藉此達到平衡填充的目的,但由於目前澆口位置之溫度的控制極為複雜,需要反覆進行數據擷取及邏輯運算後才可最佳化澆口位置之溫度的控制,以目前之電腦的運算能力,最多僅能在線控制約8個澆口位置的溫度,導致超過8個模穴之射出成型模目前僅能藉由BTI熔膠翻轉技術進行填充平衡,而增加了熱澆道設計/製造成本。In order to solve the problem of uneven filling time caused by the above-mentioned shear heat effect, BTI (Beaumont. Technologies, Inc.) added a melt reversed design (US 6,077,470, US 6,503,438) to the runner to make the melt on the runner. Inversion occurs in the flow, redistributing the temperature unevenness caused by the shear heat effect, and balancing the filling time of each melting hole. Or in other conventional techniques, the temperature of the gate can be changed to make the molten metal in each pouring. The flow rate of the mouth position is changed, thereby achieving the purpose of balanced filling, but since the temperature control of the current gate position is extremely complicated, it is necessary to repeatedly perform data acquisition and logic operation to optimize the temperature control of the gate position. At present, the computing power of the current computer can only control the temperature of about 8 gate positions online, and the injection molding die of more than 8 cavity can only be filled and balanced by BTI melt flipping technology, and the addition is increased. Hot runner design/manufacturing costs.

Therefore, the number of the sensors 120 is smaller than the number of the cavities 111, and the The number of sensors 120 is the same as the number of the groups, and the filling property of the cavity 111 provided with the sensor 120 represents the filling properties of the plurality of cavities 111 of the entire group, wherein The sensor 120 can be a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor for sensing an actual filling time of the melt filling in each of the cavities 111. In this embodiment, a temperature sensor is used. The change of the temperature senses whether the melt passes through the sensor 120. Referring to FIG. 3, preferably, each of the sensors 120 is disposed at the bottom of each of the mold holes 111, so that the melt passes through the sensors. The time point of 120 can be expressed as the time point at which the melt fills each of the mold holes 111. Therefore, when a proximity switch (not shown) disposed on the injection molding die 110 senses the completion of the front mold and the rear mold. When the mold is closed, it can be determined that the cycle of injection molding starts, and when each of the sensors 120 senses an increase in temperature, it is determined that each is The cavity 111 completes the filling, and the calculation control module 140 respectively receives the sensing signals of the proximity switch and the sensors 120, and performs data calculation, and obtains the time difference between the two time points to represent each cavity. The actual fill time in 111.
該演算控制模組140求得各該模穴111的該實際填充時間後,該溫度控制模組130根據該些模穴111的該實際填充時間輸出複數個溫度訊號控制各該熱灌嘴112d的溫度,由於位於相同群組中的該些模穴111的該實際填充時間相近,可將設置有該感測器120之該模穴111的該實際填充時間代表為群組中所有的該些模穴111的該填充時間,因此,位於相同群組中的該熱灌嘴112d能以相同的該溫度訊號控制,使位於相同群組中的該些熱灌嘴112d的溫度實質上相同。After the calculation control module 140 obtains the actual filling time of each of the cavity 111, the temperature control module 130 outputs a plurality of temperature signals according to the actual filling time of the cavity 111 to control the thermal nozzles 112d. The actual filling time of the cavity 111 provided with the sensor 120 may be represented as all of the modes in the group due to the fact that the actual filling times of the cavities 111 located in the same group are similar. The filling time of the holes 111, therefore, the hot filling nozzles 112d located in the same group can be controlled by the same temperature signal, so that the temperatures of the hot filling nozzles 112d located in the same group are substantially the same.
溫度訊號的運算可將該些模穴111中最短之該實際填充時間為基準,提高其他具有較長之該實際填充時間的模穴111所對應之該熱灌嘴112d的溫度,進而增加熔膠的流速並減短其填充時間,以達到填充之平衡。或者,溫度訊號的運算可將該些模穴111中最長之該實際填充時間為基準,降低其他具有較短之該實際填充時間的模穴111所對應之該熱灌嘴112d的溫度,進而降低熔膠的流速並增加其填充時間,以達到填充之平衡。又或者,溫度訊號的運算能以一特定之填充時間為基準,降低或提高該模穴111所對應之該熱灌嘴112d的溫度,使得所有之該模穴111的該實際填充時間能夠接近且與該特定之填充時間相同,其中,該特定之填充時間可為該些模穴111之該實際填充時間的平均值或為使用者自訂之數值,而該些溫度訊號的運算可選自於模糊理論、基因演算法或其他最佳化之演算法,以求得最佳化之溫度訊號。The operation of the temperature signal can be based on the shortest actual filling time of the cavity 111, and the temperature of the hot nozzle 112d corresponding to the cavity 111 having the longer actual filling time is increased, thereby increasing the melting glue. The flow rate and the fill time are reduced to achieve a balanced fill. Alternatively, the operation of the temperature signal may be based on the longest actual filling time of the plurality of cavities 111, and the temperature of the hot spout 112d corresponding to the cavity 111 having the shorter actual filling time may be lowered, thereby reducing The flow rate of the melt is increased and its fill time is increased to achieve a fill balance. Alternatively, the operation of the temperature signal can reduce or increase the temperature of the hot spout 112d corresponding to the cavity 111 based on a specific filling time, so that the actual filling time of all the cavities 111 can be approximated and The specific filling time is the same as the average of the actual filling time of the cavity 111 or a user-defined value, and the operation of the temperature signals may be selected from Fuzzy theory, gene algorithm or other optimization algorithm to obtain the optimal temperature signal.

The simulated cavity pressure difference is the difference between the maximum pressure and the minimum pressure in each of the cavity 111 at the completion of filling, wherein the difference between the pressure differences of the simulated cavity can be between 0 Bar and 8.79 Bar. The cavities 111 in the interval are divided into the same group, or the pressure difference of the simulated cavity of each of the cavities 111 can be directly sorted from large to small, and then divided into a plurality of groups in an equal proportion. Since the cavity pressure differences of the cavity 111 located in the same group are similar, the thermal injectors 112d located in the same group can be controlled by the same temperature signal in the subsequent actual injection molding cycle. The simulated cavity pressure difference of each of the cavities 111 is obtained by simulating the CAE software.
