Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to, but is not limited to, molding systems, and more specifically the present invention relates to, but is not limited to, a cavity insert for a molding system, the cavity insert having a deformable portion.
- Molding is a process by virtue of which a molded article can be formed from molding material (such as Polyethylene Teraphalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP) and the like) by using a molding system.
- molding material such as Polyethylene Teraphalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP) and the like
- Various molded articles can be formed by using the molding process, such as an injection molding process.
- a molded article that can be formed, for example, from PET material is a preform that is capable of being subsequently blown into a beverage container, such as, a bottle and the like.
- injection molding of PET material involves heating the PET material (ex. PET pellets, etc.) to a homogeneous molten state and injecting, under pressure, the so-melted PET material into a molding cavity defined, at least in part, by a female cavity piece and a male core piece mounted respectively on a cavity plate and a core plate of the mold.
- the cavity plate and the core plate are urged together and are held together by clamp force, the clamp force being sufficient enough to keep the cavity and the core pieces together against the pressure of the injected PET material.
- the molding cavity has a shape that substantially corresponds to a final cold-state shape of the molded article to be molded.
- the so-injected PET material is then cooled to a temperature sufficient to enable ejection of the so-formed molded article from the mold.
- the molded article shrinks inside of the molding cavity and, as such, when the cavity and core plates are urged apart, the molded article tends to remain associated with the core piece. Accordingly, by urging the core plate away from the cavity plate, the molded article can be demolded, i.e. ejected off of the core piece.
- Ejection structures are known to assist in removing the molded articles from the core halves. Examples of the ejection structures include stripper plates, ejector pins, etc.
- cycle time i.e. duration of time between initiation of injection of a first molded article and initiation of injection of a second molded article, the second molded article being produced during a subsequent molding cycle.
- cycle time i.e. duration of time between initiation of injection of a first molded article and initiation of injection of a second molded article, the second molded article being produced during a subsequent molding cycle.
- solutions have been proposed in the art to decrease the cycle time, some of such solutions including (i) conformal cooling for in-mold cooling, whereby cooling channels are configured to closely conform to the shape of the molded article, (ii) post-mold cooling in auxiliary post-mold cooling devices and the like.
- US patent application bearing publication number 2008/0026239 Al published on January 31, 2008 to Baboni et al. discloses a preform that is formed by an upper neck which maintains unchanged its form in the final object and a hollow body, joined to the neck.
- the matrix comprises at least one deformable wall (31) whose inner surface defines at least part of the inner surface of the matrix part intended to give form to the hollow body of the preform, said deformable wall (31) having, at least in part, a relatively thin thickness which permits it to be elastically deformed under the pressure of the polymeric material in the final preform molding step, thereby varying the thickness of the hollow body.
- the movable member which partially constitutes a mold, is operated in the mold closing step so as to prevent leakage, through a clearance between parting faces, of a molding material which has begun to be charged into a cavity of the mold before completion of the mold closing step, whereby, even when the mold has a simple structure using no special component members, a molded product having a shape resembling that of a three-dimensional, deep-bottomed, concave container having a thin side wall can be produced in short time.
- US patent 5,439,371 issued to Sawaya on August 8, 1995 teaches a locally pressurizing type injection molding machine that includes a stationary die and a movable die, so that a molded product can be formed by charging a resin into a cavity defined between the dies.
- a pressurizing pin extends through the movable die and has its tip end facing at least one of a resin passage and the cavity.
- a pressurizing cylinder is disposed at the rear of the pressurizing pin to move the pressurizing pin through the pressurizing rod.
- the resin charged in the cavity can be pressurized by advancing the pressurizing pin into a resin passage, for example, a gate, the cavity or the like and hence, it is possible not only to provide an extremely thin molded product, but also to prevent the generation of a sink mark.
- the area occupied by the movable platen can be reduced by disposing the pressurizing rod and ejector rod coaxially.
- US patent 7,293,981 B2 issued to Niewels on November 13, 2007 discloses a method and apparatus for compressing melt and/or compensating for melt shrinkage in an injection mold.
- the apparatus includes a cavity mold portion adjacent a cavity plate, a core mold portion adjacent a core plate, a mold cavity formed between the mold portions, and at least one piezoceramic actuator disposed between either or both of the core plate and the core mold portion and the cavity plate and the cavity mold portion.
- a controller may be connected to the at least one piezoceramic actuator to activate it, thereby causing the mold cavity volume to decrease, compressing the melt.
- the common secondary distribution spools located close to the mold cavity bottom gates, are shifted laterally such that their land areas shut off the external melt streams.
- the manifold assembly together with the now sealed cavity bottoms and outside wall-forming sleeves, move toward the fixed position core pins, whereby the molten material flowing in the same direction is condensed into the final shape of the hollow plastic article.
- the mold is opened and the molded hollow articles are rotated or shuttled on the cooling core pins in a vertical or horizontal plane outside the molding machine clamp to subsequent cooling and ejection stations.
- the primary distribution spools are shifted laterally again to open the passages from the plasticizer to refill simultaneously the individual transfer reservoirs with molten material.
- PCT patent application bearing a publication number 2007/039766 Al published on April 12th, 2007 to Clarke teaches a mould for mounting between the relatively movable platens of an injection moulding press for injection impact compression moulding of an article.
- the mould comprises a cavity plate (18) formed with a depression (40), a core plate (12) having a projecting core (46) at least part of the outer surface of which is cylindrical and a closure plate (14) movable relative to the core plate (12) and the cavity plate (18) and having a surface in sealing contact with the cylindrical outer surface of the core (46).
- a locking mechanism (70, 72) is provided to lock the closure plate (14) relative to the cavity plate (18) while permitting the core plate (12) to move relative to the cavity plate (18).
- a cavity insert of a molding stack for use in an injection mold.
- the cavity insert comprises a body configured to be received, in use, within a cavity plate of the injection mold; the body defining: a cavity molding surface along an inner portion thereof; a circumferentially deformable portion; and an actuator interface configured to cooperate, in use, with a complementary actuating interface that is defined on a compression member to generate a compressive force that selectively elastically deforms the circumferentially deformable portion.
- a method of producing a molded article executed in a cavity insert having a circumferentially deformable portion.
- the method comprises injecting molding material into a molding cavity defined at least partially by the cavity insert, having a first volume-state, to form the molded article; actuating the molding cavity from the first volume-state to a second volume-state, the second volume-state being smaller than the first volume-state, by actuating the circumferentially deformable portion to change the cavity insert to a fully collapsed configuration; subjecting the molded article to in-mold cooling in the second volume-state.
- Figure 1 depicts a sectional view taken along a portion of a molding stack housing a cavity insert implemented according to a non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the molding stack being depicted in a mold open configuration.
- Figure 2 depicts a sectional view taken along a portion of the molding stack housing the cavity insert of Figure 1, the molding stack being depicted in a mold closed and clamped up configuration, whereby injection of the molding material can be affected.
- Figure 3 depicts a sectional view taken along a portion of the molding stack housing the cavity insert of Figure 1, the molding stack being depicted in a configuration where a holding portion of the molding cycle is implemented.
- Figure 4 depicts a sectional view taken along a portion of the molding stack housing the cavity insert of Figure 1 , the molding stack being depicted in a configuration where an in-mold pressure decompression is performed.
- Figure 5 depicts a partial sectional view of a mold stack showing another non-limiting embodiment of the present invention for implementing an actuator interface and an actuating interface.
- Figure 6 depicts a partial perspective view of the actuator interface and the actuating interface of Figure 5 in greater detail.
- Figure 7 depicts a portion of a mold stack, with a cavity insert, depicting an actuator interface and an actuating interface implemented according to yet another non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.
- the drawings are not necessarily to scale and are may be illustrated by phantom lines, diagrammatic representations and fragmentary views. In certain instances, details that are not necessary for an understanding of the embodiments or that render other details difficult to perceive may have been omitted.
- the gate area tends to be associated with elevated temperatures compared to other parts of the molded article, as the gate area is a portion of the molded article that is fills last with the molding material. Additionally, as the packing function is executed, even more hot material is injected into the gate area to counteract shrinkage of the molding material as it cools, which further exacerbates the cooling problem and requires even more prolonged cooling to get the gate area of the preform to an appropriate ejection temperature.
- Embodiments of the present invention have been developed based on the inventor's appreciation that it may be desirable, in a quest to further shorten the cycle time, to overlap certain molding and non-molding operations within the molding cycle. Inventors further believe that they have identified certain problems with achieving such a goal, some of which may not have been appreciated by those of skill in the art hereforthto. For example, inventors have appreciated that there exists a problem with state of the art solutions if one wanted to overlap a portion of the in- mold cooling step (post-packing) with performing the shutter out function (i.e. unlocking of the mold locking mechanism).
- the molding stack 102 includes a cavity plate 104, which is implemented substantially in a known manner.
- the cavity plate 104 can be coupled, in use, to a stationary platen (not depicted) of a molding machine (not depicted), but can also be coupled to a moving platen (not depicted) of the molding machine (not depicted).
- the cavity plate 104 is configured to house one or more cavity inserts, one instance of which, a cavity insert 106 is depicted in Figure 1, the cavity insert 106 being implemented in accordance with non-limiting embodiments of the present invention. Construction of the cavity insert 106 will be described in more detail herein below.
- the cavity plate 104 is further configured to house a gate insert 108.
- the gate insert 108 can be implemented in accordance with known techniques and, as such, only a cursory description of this known component will be provided.
- the gate insert 108 is configured to provide a receptacle 1 10 for a nozzle assembly 1 12 of a hot runner (not depicted). Even though not depicted, the nozzle assembly 1 12 includes inter alia a valve stem 1 14, which is depicted for the sake of schematically illustrating its position during various portions of the molding cycle.
- the gate insert 108 further includes a gate insert cooling circuit 1 16, which cooperates with a first cavity plate cooling circuit 1 18 for circulating cooling fluid (not depicted) through the gate insert 108 for affecting a cooling function during certain portions of the molding cycle, as is known to those of skill in the art.
- the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 are configured to define a portion of a molding cavity 120.
- the molding cavity 120 is for producing a preform (not depicted) that is configured to be blow-molded into a final shape container (not depicted), such as, for example, a bottle for a drink or the like. It is noted that the exact shape of the molding cavity 120 is not limited and other configurations can be utilized in alternative embodiments of the present invention. For the sake of completeness, it is noted that the portion of the molding cavity 120 defined by the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 is the external skin of the preform (not depicted) to be molded.
- the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 are configured in a floating arrangement within the cavity plate 104.
- the floating arrangement within the context of the instantly presented embodiments is meant to denote the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 being configured for slidable displacement within the cavity plate 104 in at least a direction generally parallel to the axis of machine operation (i.e. mold open and close direction), resulting in definition of various gaps as discussed herein.
- proper sealing members are provided (such as, for example, O-rings), which are not depicted for the sake of simplicity of illustration.
- the cavity insert 106 comprises a body 122.
- the body 122 defines a cavity molding surface
- the body 122 also includes cavity cooling circuit 126, which cooperates with a second cavity plate cooling circuit 128 for circulating cooling fluid (not depicted) through the cavity insert 106 for affecting a cooling function during certain portions of the molding cycle, as is known to those of skill in the art.
- a circumferentially deformable portion 123 which is configured to be circumferentially elastically deformed, as will be described in greater detail herein below.
- the body 122 can be produced from a suitable material, such as for example 420 stainless steel.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be produced from 420 stainless steel.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be associated with the same thickness as the rest of the body 122 or, alternatively, can be associated with a thickness that is smaller than that of the rest of the body 122.
- the whole of the body 122 can be associated with a smaller thickness compared to prior art designs.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be manufactured of a different material that can provide for circumferential elastic deformation. Regardless of how the circumferentially deformable portion 123 is implemented, it has to be implemented to provide structural rigidity for the injection of the molding material, while providing for circumferential deformation.
- the body 122 further includes a neck defining cavity portion 130, which is configured to define a transition portion of the molded article (not depicted) to be molded and which amongst other things includes an actuator interface 134.
- the actuator interface 134 is configured to cooperate with an actuating interface 136 defined on a compression member 138 to generate a compressive force that selectively elastically deforms the circumferentially deformable portion 123.
- the compression member 138 is coupled to the cavity insert plate 104, by means for example, of a suitable fastener (not depiected) received through a fastener receptacle 107 defined in the compression member 138 and the cavity insert plate 104.
- the compression member 138 is implemented as a ring structure fastened to the cavity plate 104, in additional embodiments of the present invention, the compression member 138 can be implemented as a ring reinforced by a plate or in yet further embodiments, just as a plate with an aperture (or one or more apertures) defined therethrough.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 is located substantially proximate with the actuator interface 134 that in turn is positioned proximate to the molding structure associated with the neck finish of the molded article to be molded (i.e. the neck defining cavity portion 130), in alternative embodiment of the present invention, the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be located remote from the molding structure associated with the neck finish of the preform to be molded. In yet further non- limiting embodiments of the present invention, the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be configured to extend substantially along a portion or the whole length of the body 122.
- the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136 are implemented as complementary tapers (i.e. complementary a first taper and a second taper).
- the molding stack 102 is depicted in a mold open configuration (thus no depiction of a core portion of the molding stack 102, which will be described later) with the valve stem 1 14 being in a closed configuration.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be said to be in a "partially collapsed configuration".
- the gate insert 108 which is allowed to axially float, under the action of the residual pressure within the nozzle assembly 1 12, the gate insert 108 is pushed in a direction "A", whereby gap "Gl" is manifested. This, in turn, pushes the cavity insert 106 to slide within the cavity plate 104 in the direction "A", which in turn, creates taper interference between the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136 that results in at least partial inward deformation of the circumferentially deformable portion 123.
- the molding stack 102 of Figure 1 is depicted in a mold closed and clamped up configuration.
- the valve stem 1 14 is depicted in an open configuration.
- a portion of a core assembly 202 that is configured to define a portion of the molding cavity 120 and, more specifically, an inner skin of the preform (not depicted) to be molded.
- split mold insert assembly 204 also sometimes referred to in the industry as "neck rings”.
- the split mold insert assembly 204 can be implemented in substantially known manner and, to that extent, includes two complementary halves (not separately numbered) that cooperate together to define yet another portion of the molding cavity 120 and, more specifically, an outer portion of a neck finish (not depicted) of the preform (not depicted) to be molded.
- a lock ring 206 that is configured to attach the core assembly 202 to a core plate (not depicted), as well as provide an alignment feature to the split mold insert assembly 204 in a form of tapers (not separately numbered), as is well known in the art.
- the mold clamp action forces the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 along a direction "B", effectively releasing taper interference between the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136, which results in relaxing of the circumferentially deformable portion 123. Therefore, within the illustration of Figure 2, the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be said to be in a "relaxed configuration". Within the illustration of Figure 2, molding material can be injected into the molding cavity 120. Turning now to the illustration of Figure 3, which depicts the molding stack 102 of Figure 2 within the mold closed and clamped up configuration with the valve stem 1 14 still in the closed configuration.
- meltpressure within the nozzle assembly 1 12 pushes the gate insert 108 in the direction "A", whereby gap "Gl" is again manifested.
- the clamp pressure may be controllably decreased to allow the residual pressure to actuate the gate insert 108 in the direction "A". It is noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, at this stage, the melt pressure within the nozzle assembly 1 12 may be also changed in addition to or instead of changing the clamp pressure or, in other words, to increase the pressure to affect the movement in direction "A" discussed immediately above.
- the molding stack 102 of Figure 3 is depicted in the mold closed and clamped up configuration with the valve stem 114 still in the closed configuration, however the clamp force (which at this point can be increased by suitable means to counteract the action of the residual pressure in the nozzle assembly 1 12 described in association with Figure 3), forces the cavity insert 106 and the gate insert 108 along the direction "B", effectively releasing taper interference between the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136, which results in relaxing of the circumferentially deformable portion 123. Therefore, within the illustration of Figure 3, the circumferentially deformable portion 123 can be said to be in a "relaxed configuration", effectively releasing pressure within the molding cavity 120, as will be described in greater detail herein below.
- the molding stack 102 is in the mold open configuration at the end of a previous mold cycle.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 is in a "partially collapsed configuration"
- the molding stack 102 is in a mold closed and clamped up configuration.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 is in a "relaxed configuration".
- the molding material can be injected into the molding cavity 120, in a manner known in the art. It is noted that the molding material is being injected into what can be thought of as a first volume-state of the molding cavity 120.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 123 is actuated into the "relaxed configuration", effectively relieving in-mold pressure in the molding cavity 120.
- the volume of the molding cavity 120 returns to its "original" volume, i.e. the volume similar to that of Figure 2.
- the volume of the molding cavity 120 returns to the first mold-volume state. It is noted that at this point, the mold pressure within the molding cavity 120 is effectively relieved allowing to execute the shutter out function earlier compared to prior art methods and systems.
- a method of producing a molded article executed, for example, in the cavity insert 106 that includes a circumferentially deformable portion 123, the method including: (i) injecting molding material into a molding cavity defined at least partially by the cavity insert 106, having a first volume-state, to form the molded article;
- an actuator interface 534 and an actuating interface 536 there is provided an actuator interface 534 and an actuating interface 536.
- the function of the actuator interface 534 and the actuating interface 536 is substantially similar to the function of the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136 described above, however the structural implementation is different.
- the actuator interface 534 comprises a tapered thread and the actuating interface 136 comprises a complementary thread on a geared actuator.
- the complementary thread can be a straight thread.
- the complementary thread can be a tapered thread.
- the complementary straight thread Upon rotation of the geared actuator in a first and a second direction, the complementary straight thread will engage or disengage the tapered thread, respectively, which will actuate the circumferentially deformable portion 123 into the collapsed configuration or the relaxed configuration, respectively.
- the geared actuator can be rotated in a known manner, such as by using a gear rack or other suitable means.
- the actuator interface 134 can be implemented as a receptacle defined on the cavity insert 106 and the actuating interface 136 can be defined as an active material actuator, not depicted but well known to those of skill in the art.
- An example of the active material actuator is a piezo-electric actuator. Actuation of the active material actuator would affect actuation of the circumferentially deformable portion 123 into the collapsed configuration or the relaxed configuration, respectively.
- An example non-limiting implementation of this embodiment is depicted in Figure 7.
- Figure 7 depicts a portion of a mold stack 702, which can be implemented in a substantially similar manner to the molding stack 102, other than for the specific differences that will be described momentarily.
- a cavity insert 706 is provided with a circumferentially deformable portion 723 defined along a portion of a body thereof.
- the circumferentially deformable portion 723 is associated with an actuator interface 734, which is implemented as a pocket within the body of the cavity insert 706.
- the actuator interface 734 is cooperates with an actuating interface 736, which is in this embodiment is implemented as a piezoelectric actuator, which is responsive to an actuation signal provided from a controller 740, which can be transmitted via a connection 742.
- the connection 742 can be implemented as a wired connection, as a wireless connection or combination thereof. Operation of such piezo-electric actuators is known in the art and will not be described here at any length.
- the actuator interface 134 and the actuating interface 136 can be implemented in a different form factor.
- the actuator interface 134 can be implemented as a receptacle defined on the cavity insert 106 and the actuating interface 136 can be defined as an a conduit for pressure fluid.
- the circumferentially deformable portion can be controllably elastically deformed.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide one or more technical effects over the known prior art solutions.
- One of the technical effects so provided is another alternative to compensate for material shrinkage without negatively impacting cooling time.
- embodiments of the present invention allow to close the valve stems as soon as filling operation of the molding cycle is completed and to compensate for shrinkage by varying cavity volume by means of providing a circumferentially deformable portion on the cavity insert.
- Another technical effect of embodiments of the present invention allows to overlap the in-mold cooling step (after packing) with unlocking of the shutter out (unlocking of the mold locking mechanism) by providing ability to de-pressurize the molding cavity by increasing the volume of the molding cavity by actuating the circumferentially deformable portion on the cavity insert. This overlap of the function may assist in further reducing the molding cycle time. It should be noted that not each and every technical effect needs to be enjoyed in each and every embodiment of the present invention.
