At this time, the screw rod is moved forward in the axial direction thereof by the second driver while being periodically reciprocated. Because the screw rod alternately goes through the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage in turn in any vibration period, and the operation parameters of the acceleration stage are different from the operation parameters of the deceleration stage, the screw rod can do reciprocating acceleration and deceleration movement in the axial direction on the basis of the original operation, so as to realize the differential asymmetric vibration control of the screw rod in the axial direction.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 4, an asymmetric vibration injection method includes the following steps:
s100, heating a charging barrel 110 to a preset temperature;
s200, starting a first driver 121 to drive the screw 122 to run in the barrel 110;
s300, putting the material 200 into the barrel 110, plasticizing the material 200 into a melt 210, and conveying the melt to a nozzle 113 of the barrel 110;
and S400, starting and controlling the output of the second driver 130 to enable the screw 122 to perform forward injection motion in the axial direction of the screw 122 and perform periodic reciprocating vibration, wherein in any vibration period, the screw 122 sequentially undergoes an acceleration stage and a deceleration stage, and the operation parameters in the acceleration stage are controlled to be different from the operation parameters in the deceleration stage, and the operation parameters comprise at least one of the injection speed vibration change mode and the injection speed vibration change time.
In the asymmetric vibration injection method, the first driver 121 is activated to drive the screw 122 to run in the barrel 110; then, the material 200 in the barrel 110 is plasticized into a melt 210 by means of the conveying and plasticizing functions of the screw 122, and is conveyed to the nozzle 113; finally, the output of the second driver 130 is enabled and controlled. At this time, the screw 122 is moved forward in its own axial direction for injection by the second driver 130 while being vibrated periodically back and forth. Because the screw 122 alternately goes through the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage in turn in any vibration cycle, and the operation parameters of the acceleration stage are different from the operation parameters of the deceleration stage, the screw 122 will make reciprocating acceleration and deceleration movement in the axial direction on the basis of the original operation, so as to realize the differential asymmetric vibration control of the screw 122 in the axial direction. Thus, the asymmetric vibration injection method optimizes the extrusion molding process by using the asymmetric vibration effect of the screw 122, and realizes precise control of the axial vibration of the screw 122, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the molded product 220 and the quality of the product 220.
It should be noted that the operating parameters in the acceleration phase are to be understood as being different from the operating parameters in the deceleration phase: the operating parameters of the screw 122 vibration during the acceleration phase and the deceleration phase are inconsistent, i.e., the operating parameters of the screw 122 during the acceleration phase and the deceleration phase are differentiated and asymmetric. Meanwhile, the injection speed vibration variation mode is an injection acceleration mode or an injection deceleration mode of the screw 122. In the acceleration stage or the deceleration stage, the screw 122 may perform the vibration change of the injection speed in a constant acceleration manner (the acceleration may be a positive value or a negative value, and a deceleration process is represented when the acceleration is a negative value), or may perform the vibration change of the injection speed in a gradual increase or decrease manner; of course, the acceleration of the screw 122 may be changed in a stepwise manner, such as increasing or decreasing, during the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage.
Alternatively, the first driver 121 may be an electric motor, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an oil cylinder, or the like. When the first actuator 121 is an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an oil cylinder, a power conversion structure is required to be added between the first actuator 121 and the screw 122 to convert the linear movement into the rotational movement. For example: the power conversion structure can be a rocker-crank structure and the like. Meanwhile, the second actuator 130 may also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an oil cylinder, or the like.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the execution sequence between the step S100 and the step S200 may be executed first in the step S100; step S200 may also be performed first. Of course, step S100 and step S200 may also be performed simultaneously. In addition, the relationship between material 200, melt 210 and product 220 is: the material 200 is fed into the barrel 110 and forms a melt 210 upon heating and plasticizing by the screw 122. The formed melt 210 is injected into a mold 300 under the injection of a screw 122 to form an article 220.
Specifically, the execution sequence between step S100 and step S200 is: step S100 is executed first, and then step S200 is executed.
In addition, the forward injection movement of the screw 122 in the axial direction of the screw 122 while making the periodic reciprocating vibration should be understood as: when the second driver 130 is activated, the injection member 120 with the screw 122 is driven to perform forward injection movement in the direction of the mold 300. However, as the screw 122 undergoes an acceleration phase and then a deceleration phase, relative to the screw 122 itself, the screw 122 exhibits a relatively reciprocating periodic vibratory motion within the barrel 110.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the operation parameters include the vibration variation time of the injection speed, and the first time t taken for the acceleration from the first injection speed to the second injection speed in the acceleration stage1Is less than the second time t for decelerating from the second injection speed to the first injection speed in the deceleration stage2Refer to FIG. 2, V in FIG. 21At a first injection speed, V2The second injection rate. Therefore, in any vibration period, the injection speed change time of the screw 122 in the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage is not consistent, so that the vibration of the screw 122 in the axial direction has asymmetry, and the vibration of the screw 122 is accurately and variously controlled. In addition, the first time t1Less than the second time t2Therefore, the screw 122 is ensured to impact forwards greatly and buffer backwards less in the injection process, so that the mold 300 product 220 is more compact, and the quality of the molded product 220 is further effectively improved.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, during the acceleration phase, the screw 122 is accelerated from the first injection speed to the second injection speed at a first constant acceleration, i.e. the screw 122 adopts a constant acceleration mode during the acceleration phase.
It should be noted that, in the deceleration phase, the screw 122 may decelerate at a constant acceleration, but the acceleration should be different from the acceleration in the acceleration phase; of course, the screw 122 may be decelerated at a variable acceleration.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the deceleration stage, the screw 122 decelerates from the second injection speed to the first injection speed at a second constant acceleration, and the second constant acceleration is smaller than the first constant acceleration. As can be seen, the screw 122 adopts a constant acceleration mode in both the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage. At the same time, it is also ensured that the second constant acceleration is less than the first constant acceleration setting to ensure that the screw 122 is vibrating asymmetrically during any cycle.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 5, the method further includes:
s500, after the injection operation is completed, a pressure that changes periodically is applied to the screw 122 along the axial direction of the screw 122 to maintain the pressure of the product 220 in the mold 300. Thus, after the injection, the screw 122 is applied with a periodically varying pressure, so that the product 220 is effectively maintained in pressure, thereby ensuring that the quality of the product 220 is further improved.
It should be noted that the pressing action on the screw 122 can be performed by the first driver 121 or the second driver 130. In this regard, the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and only needs to perform a pressure maintaining operation on the screw 122 after the injection is completed. In addition, in order to accurately control the pressure value on the screw 122, a pressure sensor or the like may be disposed on the screw 122 to obtain the pressure value on the screw 122 in real time.
It should also be noted that the periodically varying pressure should include at least a symmetrically periodically varying pressure and an asymmetrically periodically varying pressure. In this context, an asymmetrically periodically changing pressure is to be understood as: in any pressure applying period, when the screw 122 is applied with pressure, the data in the pressure increasing process and the pressure reducing process are inconsistent and are arranged asymmetrically.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 6, the step of applying a periodically varying pressure to the screw 122 along the axial direction of the screw 122 in S500 includes:
s510, in any pressure applying period, the pressure applied to the screw 122 along the axial direction of the screw 122 is increased from the first pressure to the second pressure, and the pressure increasing time is controlled to be a third time t3;
S520, after the pressurization, the pressure applied to the screw 122 along the axial direction of the screw 122 is reduced from the second pressure to the first pressure, and the decompression time is controlled to be a fourth time t4And a third time t3Less than the fourth time t4. In the pressure maintaining process of the present embodiment, an asymmetric periodically-varying pressure is applied to the screw 122, so that the pressure of the screw 122 is varied and differentially controlled, and the compacting effect of the product 220 of the mold 300 is better, specifically referring to fig. 3, where P in fig. 31Is a first pressure, P2Is the second pressure.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 7, the step of starting and controlling the output of the second driver 130 in S400 includes:
s410, starting the hydraulic pump 141 and the second driver 130;
and S420, opening and adjusting the electromagnetic directional valve 142, and controlling the hydraulic pump 141 to supply oil to the second driver 130 periodically. Accordingly, when controlling the output of the second driver 130, the hydraulic pump 141 is started; the electromagnetic directional valve 142 is opened to control the oil supply amount of the hydraulic pump 141 to the second actuator 130, so that the asymmetric periodic vibration of the screw 122 by the second actuator 130 is realized.
Specifically, the second actuator 130 is a cylinder.
In one embodiment, the method further comprises, before: prior to injection, the nozzle 113 of the cartridge 110 is inserted into the sprue 310 of the mold 300.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, an asymmetric vibratory injection system 100 employs the asymmetric vibratory injection method of any of the above embodiments. The asymmetric vibratory injection system 100 comprises: a slide 150, a cartridge 110, an injection component 120, a second drive 130 and an electronic control device 140. The charging barrel 110 is provided with a material cavity 111 therein, and the charging barrel 110 is provided with a feeding hole 112 and a nozzle 113 which are communicated with the material cavity 111. The injection member 120 is slidably mounted on the slide carriage 150, and the injection member 120 includes a first driver 121, a screw 122 and a heater 124. A heater 124 is disposed on the cartridge 110. The screw 122 extends at least partially into the feed chamber 111. The first driver 121 is drivingly connected to the screw 122 to drive the screw 122. The second driver 130 is drivingly connected to the screw 122 to drive the screw 122 to move along the axial direction of the screw 122 while performing a periodic reciprocating vibration. The electronic control device 140 is in control cooperation with the second driver 130 to control the asymmetric periodic output of the second driver 130.
The asymmetric vibration injection system 100, using the above asymmetric vibration injection method, activates the first driver 121 to drive the screw 122 to operate in the barrel 110; then, the material 200 in the barrel 110 is plasticized into a melt 210 by means of the conveying and plasticizing functions of the screw 122, and is conveyed to the nozzle 113; finally, the output of the second driver 130 is started and controlled by the electronic control device 140. At this time, the screw 122 is moved forward in its own axial direction for injection by the second driver 130 while being vibrated periodically back and forth. Because the screw 122 alternately goes through the acceleration stage and the deceleration stage in turn in any vibration cycle, and the working parameters of the acceleration stage are different from the working parameters of the deceleration stage, the screw 122 will make reciprocating acceleration and deceleration movements in the axial direction on the basis of the original operation, so as to realize the differential asymmetric vibration control of the screw 122 in the axial direction. Thus, the asymmetric vibration injection method optimizes the extrusion molding process by using the asymmetric vibration effect of the screw 122, and realizes precise control of the axial vibration of the screw 122, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the molded product 220 and the quality of the product 220.
It should be noted that the sliding mounting of the injection component 120 on the slide carriage 150 may be, but is not limited to, a rail mounting manner. Meanwhile, the control of the asymmetric periodic output of the second driver 130 by the electronic control device 140 should be understood as: the output of the second driver 130 to the screw 122 is a periodic output, and in any period, the output curve is set asymmetrically, where the asymmetry includes both the injection speed vibration variation mode and the injection speed vibration variation time.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, a hopper 114 is disposed on the barrel 110. The hopper 114 is in communication with the feed inlet 112.
Further, referring to fig. 1, the injection component 120 further includes a coupler 123. The output shaft of the first driver 121 is drivingly connected to the screw 122 through the coupling 123 to ensure that the torque of the first driver 121 is stably transmitted to the screw 122, so that the screw 122 stably runs in the barrel 110.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the electric control device 140 includes a hydraulic pump 141, a solenoid directional valve 142, and a controller 143. The hydraulic pump 141 and the electromagnetic directional valve 142 are electrically connected to the controller 143. The hydraulic pump 141 is in control cooperation with the second driver 130 through the electromagnetic directional valve 142, so that the hydraulic pump 141 is started when the output of the second driver 130 is controlled; the electromagnetic directional valve 142 is opened to control the oil supply amount of the hydraulic pump 141 to the second actuator 130, so that the asymmetric periodic vibration of the screw 122 by the second actuator 130 is realized.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, a non-return ring 125 is sleeved on the screw 122 to prevent the melt 210 from flowing backward in the barrel 110 during the injection process, thereby ensuring the injection process to be performed stably.
