Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/839,171, filed Jun. 25, 2013.
- The present invention relates to drop tip assembly for an injection molding manifold having an improved pressure resistant design.
- In the field of injection molding, there are many types of manifold configurations or assemblies. These manifold assemblies are used to maintain the hot molten plastic at a specific temperature throughout the injection of material through the flow path to a mold cavity. The purpose is to ensure that the hot molten plastic material is at a sufficiently high enough temperature when it enters the cavity and does not begin to solidify within the manifold assembly. To this end, the manifold assembly employs one or more nozzle assemblies for introducing to a mold cavity molten resin material. The nozzle assembly receives the molten resin material from a central sprue through a series of passages of a manifold assembly. It is desirable to sufficiently heat the manifold assembly so that the sprue, associated passages, nozzle and nozzle drop tip, which is in direct contact with the mold cavity, will maintain the molten resin at a desired heated temperature.
- Typical nozzle assemblies have a nozzle body connected to the sprue and a drop tip nozzle that is connected to the nozzle body. Along the length of the sprue and nozzle assembly, there are a number of heating elements used to input heat to the manifold assembly in order to heat the flow passage for the molten resin. The drop tip nozzle is a separate element that is attached to the nozzle body, usually using a threaded connection. One frequent problem is that mold operators do not wait until the manifold assembly has reached the optimum molding temperature prior to beginning the flow of molten plastic material through the manifold assembly. As a result, some of the molten plastic material will begin to solidify or become more viscous increasing the internal pressure within the flow passages of the manifold assembly to the point that the threaded connection between the drop tip and the nozzle body ruptures and the drop tip will break away from the nozzle body and essentially destroy the nozzle body and drop tip assembly. The present invention provides an improved nozzle and drop tip assembly that is resistant to the greater pressures that are encountered when the manifold assembly has not been heated to the proper operating temperatures.
- A pressure resistant drop tip nozzle assembly for an injection molding machine is provided in the present invention. The nozzle body has a nozzle passage extending axially through said nozzle body between a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet. The assembly includes a drop tip which has a body connected to the nozzle outlet of said nozzle body. The drop tip has a drop tip bore extending between a drop inlet located adjacent said nozzle outlet body and a drop outlet. A tapered drop passage located at said drop outlet defines a resin flow aperture where resin leaves said drop tip. An internal heating insert is positioned within said drop tip bore. The drop tip body is connected to the nozzle body via a mechanical connection such as screw threads. A reinforcing weld preferably via a continuous laser weld is provided between said drop tip body and said nozzle body. The weld provides suitable reinforcement for the connection such that it resists failure if for some reason the injection molding operation is started too early and the drop tip is over pressurized the nozzle will not fail and cause expensive and inconvenient down time.

- Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a manifold assembly for plastic injection molding is generally shown at 10. The assembly includes an integral or one piece castcylindrical manifold 12 that includes acentral flow passage 14 extending along the manifold including each branch of themanifold 12 and at least one pressure resistant droptip nozzle assembly 16 extending downwardly from themanifold 12. Each nozzle includes acentral nozzle passage 17 extending from themanifold flow passage 14. Eachnozzle assembly 16 can have a varying length in order to conform to various mold cavity dimensions, which may be required for a particular molding application. - The
manifold 12 is removably secured to supportblocks 34 andcore 32 by a threadedstud 36 which extends throughsupport blocks 34 and into threaded engagement with both themanifold 12 and thecore 32. Asprue 20 extends radially outward from themanifold 12 for facilitating the introduction of plastic injection molding material into themanifold 12. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , the pressure resistant droptip nozzle assembly 16 has anozzle body 40 with anozzle passage 17 extending axially through thenozzle body 40 between anozzle inlet 41 andnozzle outlet 43. Adrop tip 44 is connected to thenozzle body 40 with amechanical connection 48 which in the present embodiment of the invention aremating threads 42 formed on the inside surface of thenozzle body 40. Thedrop tip 44 has adrop inlet 45 and adrop outlet 52 that the resin flows through thedrop outlet 52 and into a mold cavity. - Within the
drop tip 44 is an internal heating insert 54 that slides into and nests within thedrop tip 44 and has a portion that nests within thenozzle body 40 and in part defines thenozzle outlet 43 of thenozzle passage 17. Theinternal heating insert 54 is made of heat conductive material that absorbs heat in order to heat thenozzle passage 17 and the passageway defined by thedrop tip 44. In addition to themechanical connection 42 between the drop tip and nozzle body, there is a reinforcingweld 50 positioned between thenozzle body 40 anddrop tip 44. The reinforcingweld 50 combined with themechanical connection 42 further strengthens the pressure resistance of the droptip nozzle assembly 16 by combining the pressure resistance of themechanical connection 42 as well as the pressure resistance of the reinforcingweld 50. As a result, the pressure resistant droptip nozzle assembly 16 is capable of resisting greater pressures that can be encountered when the molten resin flowing through thenozzle passage 17 has not been sufficiently heated prior to beginning an injection molding process. - In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing
weld 50 is accomplished by precision laser welding. Laser welding must be used to provide a precise weld which will not interfere with the rest of the injection molding components. Additionally the weld depth and breadth can be precisely controlled for providing strength to the stainless steel component. - Referring now to
FIGS. 3 and 4A-4E a method of assembling a pressure resistantdrop tip assembly 16 for an injection molding machine is shown.FIG. 3 shows an exploded view showing the first step of assembling the pressure resistant drop tip assembly, which includes providing thedrop tip 44,heating insert 54,nozzle body 40 and acollar 58. Thedrop tip 44 hasdrop tip threads 55 formed on an outside surface and configured to mate withnozzle body threads 56 formed on an inner surface of thenozzle body 40. Referring to all of the figures, the method further includes providing thenozzle body 40 having anozzle passage 17 extending axially through thenozzle body 40 between thenozzle inlet 41 and anozzle outlet 43. Providing thedrop tip 44 with thedrop inlet 45,drop outlet 52 and a drop tip bore 53 extending there between and a tapered drop passage located above thedrop inlet 45 for defining a resin flow aperture leading to thedrop inlet 45. - Referring now to
FIGS. 4A-4C the method of assembly further includes the step of connecting thedrop tip 44 to thenozzle body 40. Theinternal heating insert 54 is slid into thedrop tip 44 and then thedrop tip 44 is connected to thenozzle body 40 by rotating thedrop tip 44 so that thedrop tip threads 55 engage and mate with thenozzle body threads 56 on saidnozzle body 40. Referring toFIG. 4D thedrop tip 44 andnozzle body 40 are positioned near alaser welding device 60 at the connection point between thenozzle body 40 and thedrop tip 44. Then a step of welding thedrop tip 44 to thenozzle body 40 using thelaser welding device 60 is carried out to create one or more weld points 50 between thenozzle body 40 and thedrop tip 44. Thelaser welding device 60 is removed and in a final step (shown inFIG. 4E ) thecollar 58 is slid onto thedrop tip 44 andnozzle body 40 to cover the one or more welds 50. - The description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.
