Basic knowledge of injection mold structure

1. Mold structure: Injection molds generally consist of upper mold, lower mold, lap plate, guide pillar, guide sleeve, ejector pin, bottom pin, nozzle and other parts. Different products require different mold structures, so when designing and manufacturing molds, the structure needs to be designed according to product requirements.

2. Injection mold materials: Commonly used injection mold materials include P20, 718, NAK80, S136, etc. These materials have high hardness, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, and can meet the injection molding processing needs of most products.

3. Design points: The design points of injection molds include product design, mold design, process design, etc. Among them, process design is very important because it directly affects the quality and efficiency of product processing.

4. Maintenance: If the injection mold is not well maintained during use, it may be damaged or have other malfunctions. Therefore, injection molds require regular maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, inspection and other operations.

5. Mold life: The life of an injection mold depends on many factors, including mold material, design, frequency of use, maintenance, etc. In order to extend the life of the injection mold, the mold needs to be properly designed and maintained.
