- Abstract
The design of cooling channel in injection mould has a direct impact on injection molding products quality and production efficiency. With the help of Moldflow, a filling analysis of 3D model of the four cavities mould under Pro/E was made. The meshing and repairing on injection molding products in Moldflow have been finished, and the matching rate reached 86.7%. A preliminary design of size, layout of cooling channel and cooling process parameters were made. On the basis of products average temperature, cavity temperature, critical temperature of mould surface and products, further modification of cooling channel was made. The method, positioning cooling channel according to the feature of injection products, was obtained. The analysis was distributed into the optimization of cooling channel. As the results show, by improving cooling channel, cavity surface can have consistent color, well distributed temperature and small temperature difference. Mould temperature is in required range, and the cooling time meets the requirement as well. The goal of improving cooling channel designing efficiency is achieved, moreover, circulation time of cooling becomes shorter, and the injection molding products have rapid and uniform cooling.
