9.1 Guide Parts Design

Outline Guide post mechanism Conical positioned mechanism design principle

9.1 Guide Parts Design

1. outline
Definition: to ensure correct positioning of the movable mold and the fixed mold Guiding form: Guide post mechanism Conical positioned mechanism Guiding role: Locate Guide Withstand certain degree of lateral pressure
Guide post mechanism

9.1 Guide Parts Design

2. design principles
Reasonable selection of guide mechanism type number of guide pin size and its layout Sufficient wear resistance

mold strength Easy for processing

Structure design facilitate for guide

9.1 Guide Parts Design

2. design principles
Reasonable guide mechanism type

usually using Guide post mechanism , while using Conical positioned mechanism with large lateral force
The number of guide pin size and layout

Using 2-4 guide number for a plastic mold

The layout of guide post

9.1 Guide Parts Design

2. guide parts design principle
Sufficient wear resistance Guide post: 20 carburizing or T8A HRC56 ~ 60

Guide bushing: 20 carburizing or T8A HRC 50 ~ 55

mold strength enough hole center distance to margin

avoid maximum stress on the cavity plate

9.1 Guide Parts Design

2. guide parts design principle
easy for processing to ensure concentricity, the fixed-side diameter of guide pin and guide bushing fixed end diameter should be equal

9.1 Guide Parts Design

2. guide parts design principle
Structure design facilitate for guide guide pin pilot part made of spherical or cone, using lead angle

9.1 Guide Parts Design

3. Guiding positioning mechanism
Guide pillars: axial positioning step, the fixed and guide the nominal size is the same. Shouldered guide pillar: axial positioning step, the fixed segment size >-oriented segment size Push plate guide column: axial positioning step

9.1 Guide Parts Design

4. Conical positioned mechanism
When molding of high precision, large, thin-walled, deep-cavity plastic parts, larger lateral pressure will make the core or cavity offset, result

in damage of the guide pin

9.2 Support and Fix Part Design

1. Fixing and Moving clamping plate
Role: base of mold, acting as fixing and connecting moving mold plate is fixed in the injection molding machine movable workbench fixing mold plate fixed to the injection machine fixed workbench

sufficient strength: Small molds H> 13mm large mold H up to 75mm

Material: carbon steel 45 steel Connection: using bolt and clip connected to the machine

9.2 Support and Fix Part Design

2. Fixed plate
Role: fixe core, cavity, guide post, guide bushing, eject parts, etc. Requirements: sufficient strength and thickness H = 15 ~ 45mm Connection with the core: the steps, sink holes, flat connection

Support plate

Fixed plate

connection of the fixed plate

9.2 Support and Fix Part Design

3. supporting plates
Role: on the back of the fixed plate, to prevent axial movement of the molding/guide parts, and withstand certain degree of moldi ng pressure

9.2 Support and Fix Part Design

4. block
Adjust the mold closing height, forming eject space needed Material: carbon steel 45 Installation Requirements: the block height on both side should

be consistent to ensure the parallel of mold surface

Combination of block, support and blocking plate

9.3 Manufacturing processing for cavity setting plate

9.4 Selection of Standard Plate

Standardization of mold: United States of DME, HASCO, Germany, Japan FUTABA world top three mold standard parts enterprises Standard type of injection mold base

Standard mold base

Four basic mold frame: A1, A2, A3, A4, Nine derived mold: P1 ~ P9

Small and medium-sized mold mark:

A2-100160-03-Z GB/T12556.1-1990 Large mold mark:

A-80125-26 GB/T12556.1-1990

9.4 Selection of Standard Plate

The combinations and sizes of basic frame

9.4 Selection of Standard Plate

Mold base selection step
Determine mold form combination Determine cavity wall thickness
Determine the cavity wall thickness

Calculate cavity perimeter, as the figure shows length of cavity width of cavity The perimeter of the cavity

4) select a standard cavity template perimeter size 5) Determine template thickness (Appendix J) 6) selected mold base 7) checking frame relationship between mold base and injection machine
