E. Questions and answers: (5 points for each question, 10 questions in total)

What are the reasons for the silver wire?
Answer: 1. Cold rubber friction production; 2. The material is not completely dried; 3. The pressure is too small; 4. The resin is decomposed; 5. The mold temperature and material temperature are low; 6. The filling speed is slow.
2. The heating time of the hot runner is too long, and it will start production again. What should you do as a technician at this time?

Answer: First, shoot the 3-4 molds with the material tube empty, then align the nozzle with the nozzle, then open the mold, and block the back mold with a piece of cardboard to prevent the decomposition of the material from being shot to the back mold. It is difficult to clean up. If you don’t pay attention, it will cause the pressure mold. .



3. Why clean the PL surface during normal production? why?

Answer: The surface of the mold in normal production is prone to static electricity. Some rubber scraps and iron scraps fall to the edge of the die when the mold is opened and closed, which may cause damage to the die.



4. What are the critical factors that appear on the parting surface?

Answer: The mold temperature and material temperature are too high, the filling pressure is high, the filling speed is fast, the holding pressure is fast, the holding pressure is large, the filling position is switched too late, the clamping pressure is insufficient, and the machine tonnage is large.



5. What are the factors that cause unstable quality and size?

Answer: The mold temperature is too high, the cooling time is short, the ambient temperature is unstable, the cooling water temperature is unstable, the actuating oil temperature is unstable, the countercurrent ring is damaged too much, the barrel temperature is abnormal, the cold glue head is too much, resin particles Uneven in size.



6. Mold protection, what aspects should you consider as a technician foreman?

Answer: The sensitivity of the limit switch, the low-voltage clamping force, the low-voltage clamping speed, the low-voltage clamping position, and the clamping monitoring time are set to be slower, smaller, and better.



7. Why can't the machine be stopped at random when adjusting the dimensional accuracy when it is turned on?

Answer: There will be resin temperature and viscosity difference. There will be differences in mold temperature, difficult to control the dimensional accuracy, resulting in long adjustment time, material loss, and low production efficiency.



8. In normal production, the temperature and pressure cannot be modified at will. Why?

Answer: The pressure affects the flow oil temperature, the cold water temperature, the barrel temperature, the mold temperature and other changes for a long time, usually more than 3-4H to be stable, if there is a modification, the quality must be continuously //confirm/i/ied.



9. When the quality is abnormal, if the process parameters need to be modified, what time should be released before analysis?

Answer: First of all, the pressure holding time should be released, and the analysis should be started from the rubber sheet.



10. The quality is unstable, which aspects can be seen from the machine?

Answer: The filling position, filling time, measuring time, filling actual pressure and machine quality management table can be seen.



F. Analysis questions: (10 points for each question, 6 questions in total)

What are the preparations before injection molding?
1) Input of standard molding conditions

2) Preheating and drying of materials

3) Preheating of the mold

4) Cleaning of the barrel



2. What are the factors that cause dimensional instability of plastic parts?

Answer: The factors that cause dimensional instability of plastic parts are:

1) The electrical and hydraulic system of the injection machine is unstable;

2) The feeding amount is unstable;

3) Uneven plastic particles and unstable shrinkage;

4) The molding conditions (temperature, pressure, time) change, and the molding cycle is inconsistent;

5) The gate is too small, the size of the multi-cavity feed port is inconsistent, and the feed is unbalanced;

6) Poor mold accuracy, unstable movement of movable parts and inaccurate positioning.



3. In the design of injection mold, what is the role of mold temperature adjustment?

1) Temperature adjustment refers to cooling or heating the injection mold.

2) Temperature adjustment is not only related to the dimensional accuracy of the plastic part, the mechanical properties of the plastic part and the surface quality of the plastic part, but also the injection production efficiency. Therefore, the mold temperature must be controlled at a reasonable level according to the requirements. In order to achieve high-quality plastic parts and high productivity.



4. What is plastic shrinkage, and what are the basic factors that affect plastic shrinkage?

Answer: After the plastic is taken out from the mold and cooled to room temperature, the characteristic of dimensional shrinkage is called shrinkage. Since this shrinkage is not only caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the resin itself, but also related to various molding factors, the shrinkage of the plastic part after molding is called molding shrinkage. The main factors affecting the shrinkage rate include:

1) Plastic varieties;

2) Plastic part structure;

3) Mold structure;

4) Molding process.



5. Please briefly describe the role of back pressure. (10 points)

1) Ensure that sufficient mechanical energy can be generated to melt and mix the plastic

2) Exclude volatile gases including air from the material pipe

3) Mix the additives (such as toner, color masterbatch, antistatic agent, talcum powder, etc.) and melt evenly

4) Make the flow diameter different and help homogenize the melt of the screw length

5) Provide uniform and stable plasticized materials to obtain accurate product quality control



6. If black spots are often produced when producing white or transparent products, how will you solve it? (Please briefly describe your solution ideas) (20 points)

1) Adjust the material preparation process: avoid contamination of raw materials and set appropriate drying conditions;

2) Change the mold design: too narrow vertical runners, runners, gates and even the wall thickness of the plastic parts may generate excessive shear heat, which will cause the overheated material to become hotter and cause cracking. You can try to increase the vertical Runners, runners, gates;

3) Clean mold and screw regularly: the runner system and screw surface should be cleaned or polished regularly to avoid accumulated dirt;

4) Select the specifications of the molding machine suitable for the mold: If you select the screw suitable for the plastic used, the injection volume is generally maintained within 20%-80% of the specifications, and check whether the heating plate or heater is invalid;

5) Adjust molding conditions: such as lowering the heating temperature of the barrel, lowering the back pressure and screw speed, etc.
