Optimal Design of Plastic Injection Mould Gating System

Abstract:

Taking the plastic injection mould of the air conditioning panel for example, through the flow simulation and analysis of the filling mould process for three gating system design programs, the paper gets each program’s filling time, temperature, shearing rate, melting wiring and air pocket, injecting pressure and the distribution map of locking strength. Through comparing and analyzing, the paper draws the relatively good design program, and finds the shaping defect that may appear ahead of time, which improves the success rate of once-testing mould so as to realize shorten mould design cycle and reduce mould manufacturing cost.
