Mold Structure A 1

The document provides a detailed overview of injection mold structures, including the designations and roles of various mold component parts such as the 2-plate and 3-plate molds. It covers the types and characteristics of gates, the mechanisms involved in injection molding, and the process of insert molding. Key components discussed include guide pins, ejector pins, and the stationary and movable cavities, which are crucial for the mold's functionality.

1.1 2-plate standard mold
Locate ring Ring for locating the nozzle of the molding
machine and the sprue that is the resin pouring
spout of the mold.

Sprue bush Bush used as a pouring spout of the mold. With


the pressure of the nozzle touch, it forms the
sprue that leads resin from the molding machine
to the runner of the mold.
Guide pins Pins used to guide the stationary mold and the
movable mold. At the same time, they protect
cavities and cores.

Ejector pins Pins used to eject cooled and formed parts
(K.O pin) from the cavities.

Return pins Pins used to reset the ejector plate. They are
pushed by the stationary retainer platen to
reset the ejector plate during mold closing.

Return springs Spring to reset the ejector plate faster than


mold closing after part ejection.

Stationary retainer Plate installed on the nozzle side of the


platen molding machine. It holds the cavity to
prevent cavity deflection or distortion caused
by resin pressure.

Movable retainer Main plate installed on the ejector side of the


platen molding machine. It holds the movable
cavity.

Ejector plate 2 and return pins. These two plates work as an
(K.O plate 2) ejector of the molding machine. They eject
molded parts with the help of the ejector pins.

Spacer block Block to support clamping force and assures


the space for the ejector stroke with its
thickness.

Movable bottom Plate installed on the movable platen with


plate clamps or bolts. It holds the movable side of
the mold.

Stationary cavity Most important parts to consist a mold, and

Movable cavity their manufacturing costs account for 70 to
80% of the entire mold manufacturing cost.
They are divided into the stationary side and
the movable side by the parting face. The
convex side is called “core” and the concave
side is called “cavity” in principle, but both of
them are called “cavity” for the sake of
convenience because there is no definite
distinction between the two.
