One of the most popular processes for making plastic parts is injection moulding. The design of injection mould is critically important to product quality and efficient product processing.Mould-making companies, who wish to maintain the competitive edge, desire to shorten both design and manufacturing leading times of the by applying a systematic mould design process. The mould industry is an important support industry during the product development process, serving as an important link between the product designer and manufacturer. Product development has changed from the traditional serial process of design, followed by manufacture, to a more organized concurrent process where design and manufacture are considered at a very early stage of design. The concept of concurrent engineering (CE) is no longer new and yet it is still applicable and relevant in today’s manuf acturing environment. Team working spirit, management involvement, total design process and integration of IT tools are still the essence of CE. The application of The CE process to the design of an injection process involves the simultaneous consideration of plastic part design, mould design and injection moulding machine selection, production scheduling and cost as early as possible in the design stage.This paper presents the basic structure of an injection mould design. The basis of this system arises from an analysis of the injection mould design process for mould design companies. This injection mould design system covers both the mould design process and mould knowledge management. Finally the principle of concurrent engineering process is outlined and then its principle is applied to the design of a plastic injection mould.Keywords :Plastic injection mould design, Concurrent engineering, Computer aided engineering, Moulding conditions, Plastic injection moulding, Flow simulation1.IntroductionInjection moulds are always expensive to make, unfortunately without a mould it can not be possible ho have a moulded product. Every mould maker has his/her own approach to design a mould and there are many different ways of designing and building a mould. Surely one of the most critical parameters to be considered in the design stage of the mould is the number of cavities, methods of injection, types of runners, methods of gating, methods of ejection, capacity and features of the injection moulding machines. Mould cost, mould quality and cost of mould product are inseparableIn today’s completive environment, computer aided mould filling simulation packages can accurately predict the fill patterns of any part. This allows for quick simulations of gate placements and helps finding the optimal location. Engineers can perform moulding trials on the computer before the part design is completed. Process engineers can systematically predict a design and process window, and can obtain information about the cumulative effect of the process variables that influence part performance, cost, and appearance.2.Injection MouldingInjection moulding is one of the most effective ways to bring out the best in plastics. It is universally used to make complex, finished parts, often in a single step, economically, precisely and with little waste. Mass production of plastic parts mostly utilizes moulds. The manufacturing process and involving moulds must be designed after passing through the appearance evaluation and the structure optimization of the product design. Designers face a hugenumber of options when they create injection-moulded components. Concurrent engineering requires an engineer to consider the manufacturing process of the designed product in the development phase. A good design of the product is unable to go to the market if its manufacturing process is impossible or too expensive. Integration of process simulation, rapid prototyping and manufacturing can reduce the risk associated with moving from CAD to CAM and further enhance the validity of the product development.3. Importance of Computer Aided Injection Mould DesignThe injection moulding design task can be highly complex. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis tools provide enormous advantages of enabling design engineers to consider virtually and part, mould and injection parameters without the real use of any manufacturing and time. The possibility of trying alternative designs or concepts on the computer screen gives the engineers the opportunity to eliminate potential problems before beginning the real production. Moreover, in virtual environment, designers can quickly and easily asses the sensitivity of specific moulding parameters on the quality and manufacturability of the final product. All theseCAE tools enable all these analysis to be completed in a meter of days or even hours, rather than weeks or months needed for the real experimental trial and error cycles. As CAE is used in the early design of part, mould and moulding parameters, the cost savings are substantial not only because of best functioning part and time savings but also the shortens the time needed to launch the product to the market.The need to meet set tolerances of plastic part ties in to all aspects of the moulding process, including part size and shape, resin chemical structure, the fillers used, mould cavity layout, gating, mould cooling and the release mechanisms used. Given this complexity, designers often use computer design tools, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and mould filling analysis (MFA), to reduce development time and cost. FEA determines strain, stress and deflection in a part by dividing the structure into small elements where these parameters can be well defined. MFA evaluates gate position and size to optimize resin flow. It also defines placement of weld lines, areas of excessive stress, and how wall and rib thickness affect flow. Other finite element design tools include mould cooling analysis for temperature distribution, and cycle time and shrinkage analysis for dimensional control and prediction of frozen stress and warpage.The CAE analysis of compression moulded parts is shown in Figure 1. The analysis cycle starts with the creation of a CAD model and a finite element mesh of the mould cavity. After the injection conditions are specified, mould filling, fiber orientation, curing and thermal history, shrinkage and warpage can be simulated. The material properties calculated by the simulation can be used to model the structural behaviour of the part. If required, part design, gate location and processing conditions can be modified in the computer until an acceptable part is obtained. After the analysis is finished an optimized part can be produced with reduced weldline (known also knitline), optimized strength, controlled temperatures and curing, minimized shrinkage and warpage.Machining of the moulds was formerly done manually, with a toolmaker checking each cut. This process became more automated with the growth and widespread use of computer numerically controlled or CNC machining centres. Setup time has also been significantly reduced through the use of special software capable of generating cutter paths directly from a CAD data file. Spindle speeds as high as 100,000 rpm provide further advances in high speed machining. Cutting materials have demonstrated phenomenal performance without the use of any cutting/coolant fluid whatsoever. As a result, the process of machining complex cores and cavities has been accelerated. It is good news that the time it takes to generate a mould is constantly being reduced. The bad news, on the other hand, is that even with all these advances, designing and manufacturing of the mould can still take a long time and can be extremely expensive.Figure 1 CAE analysis of injection moulded partsMany company executives now realize how vital it is to deploy new products to market rapidly. New products are the key to corporate prosperity. They drive corporate revenues, market shares, bottom lines and share prices. A company able to launch good quality products with reasonable prices ahead of their competition not only realizes 100% of the market before rival products arrive but also tends to maintain a dominant position for a few years even after competitive products have finally been announced (Smith, 1991). For most products, these two advantages are dramatic. Rapid product development is now a key aspect of competitive success. Figure 2 shows that only 3–7% of the product mix from the average industrial or electronics company is less than 5 years old. For companies in the top quartile, the number increases to 15–25%. For world-class firms, it is 60–80% (Thompson, 1996). The best companies continuously develop new products. AtHewlett-Packard, over 80% of the profits result from products less than 2 years old! (Neel, 1997)Figure 2. Importance of new product (Jacobs, 2000)With the advances in computer technology and artificial intelligence, efforts have been directed to reduce the cost and lead time in the design and manufacture of an injection mould. Injection mould design has been the main area of interest since it is a complex process involving several sub-designs related to various components of the mould, each requiring expert knowledge and experience. Lee et. al. (1997) proposed a systematic methodology and knowledge base for injection mould design in a concurrent engineering environment.4.Concurrent Engineering in Mould DesignConcurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to integrated product development process. It represents team values of co-operation, trust and sharing in such a manner that decision making is by consensus, involving all per spectives in parallel, from the very beginning of the productlife-cycle (Evans, 1998). Essentially, CE provides a collaborative, co-operative, collective and simultaneous engineering working environment. A concurrent engineering approach is based on five key elements:1. process2. multidisciplinary team3. integrated design model4. facility5. software infrastructureFigure 3 Methodologies in plastic injection mould design, a) Serial engineering b) Concurrent engineeringIn the plastics and mould industry, CE is very important due to the high cost tooling and long lead times. Typically, CE is utilized by manufacturing prototype tooling early in the design phase to analyze and adjust the design. Production tooling is manufactured as the final step. The manufacturing process and involving moulds must be designed after passing through the appearance evaluation and the structure optimization of the product design. CE requires an engineer to consider the manufacturing process of the designed product in the development phase.A good design of the product is unable to go to the market if its manufacturing process is impossible. Integration of process simulation and rapid prototyping and manufacturing can reduce the risk associated with moving from CAD to CAM and further enhance the validity of the product development.For years, designers have been restricted in what they can produce as they generally have todesign for manufacture (DFM) – that is, adjust their design intent to enable the component (or assembly) to be manufactured using a particular process or processes. In addition, if a mould is used to produce an item, there are therefore automatically inherent restrictions to the design imposed at the very beginning. Taking injection moulding as an example, in order to process a component successfully, at a minimum, the following design elements need to be taken into account:1. . geometry;. draft angles,. Non re-entrants shapes,. near constant wall thickness,. complexity,. split line location, and. surface finish,2. material choice;3. rationalisation of components (reducing assemblies);4. cost.In injection moulding, the manufacture of the mould to produce the injection-moulded components is usually the longest part of the product development process. When utilising rapid modelling, the CAD takes the longer time and therefore becomes the bottleneck.The process design and injection moulding of plastics involves rather complicated and time consuming activities including part design, mould design, injection moulding machine selection, production scheduling, tooling and cost estimation. Traditionally all these activities are done by part designers and mould making personnel in a sequential manner after completing injection moulded plastic part design. Obviously these sequential stages could lead to long product development time. However with the implementation of concurrent engineering process in the all parameters effecting product design, mould design, machine selection, production scheduling,tooling and processing cost are considered as early as possible in the design of the plastic part. When used effectively, CAE methods provide enormous cost and time savings for the part design and manufacturing. These tools allow engineers to virtually test how the part will be processed and how it performs during its normal operating life. The material supplier, designer, moulder and manufacturer should apply these tools concurrently early in the design stage of the plastic parts in order to exploit the cost benefit of CAE. CAE makes it possible to replace traditional, sequential decision-making procedures with a concurrent design process, in which all parties can interact and share information, Figure 3. For plastic injection moulding, CAE and related design data provide an integrated environment that facilitates concurrent engineering for the design and manufacture of the part and mould, as well as material selection and simulation of optimal process control parameters.Qualitative expense comparison associated with the part design changes is shown in Figure 4 , showing the fact that when design changes are done at an early stages on the computer screen, the cost associated with is an order of 10.000 times lower than that if the part is in production. These modifications in plastic parts could arise fr om mould modifications, such as gate location, thickness changes, production delays, quality costs, machine setup times, or design change in plastic parts.Figure 4 Cost of design changes during part product development cycle (Rios et.al, 2001)At the early design stage, part designers and moulders have to finalise part design based on their experiences with similar parts. However as the parts become more complex, it gets rather difficult to predict processing and part performance without the use of CAE tools. Thus for even relatively complex parts, the use of CAE tools to prevent the late and expensive design changesand problems that can arise during and after injection. For the successful implementation of concurrent engineering, there must be buy-in from everyone involved.5.Case StudyFigure 5 shows the initial CAD design of plastics part used for the sprinkler irrigation hydrant leg. One of the essential features of the part is that the part has to remain flat after injection; any warping during the injection causes operating problems.Another important feature the plastic part has to have is a high bending stiffness. A number of feeders in different orientation were added to the part as shown in Figure 5b. These feeders should be designed in a way that it has to contribute the weight of the part as minimum aspossible.Before the design of the mould, the flow analysis of the plastic part was carried out with Moldflow software to enable the selection of the best gate location Figure 6a. The figure indicates that the best point for the gate location is the middle feeder at the centre of the part. As the distortion and warpage of the part after injection was vital from the functionality point of view and it has to be kept at a minimum level, the same software was also utilised to yiled the warpage analysis. Figure 5 b shows the results implying the fact that the warpage well after injection remains within the predefined dimensional tolerances.6. ConclusionsIn the plastic injection moulding, the CAD model of the plastic part obtained from commercial 3D programs could be used for the part performance and injection process analyses. With the aid ofCEA technology and the use of concurrent engineering methodology, not only the injection mould can be designed and manufactured in a very short of period of time with a minimised cost but also all potential problems which may arise from part design, mould design and processing parameters could be eliminated at the very beginning of the mould design. These two tools help part designers and mould makers to develop a good product with a better delivery and faster tooling with less time and money.References1.

塑料注射成型外文文献翻译、中英文翻译、外文翻译外文翻译原文：Injection MoldingMany different processes are used to transform plastic granules, powders, and liquids into product. The plastic material is in moldable form, and is adaptable to various forming methods. In most cases thermosetting materials require other methods of forming. This is recognized by the fact that thermoplastics are usually heated to a soft state and then reshaped before cooling. Theromosets, on the other hand have not yet been polymerized before processing, and the chemical reaction takes place during the process, usually through heat, a catalyst, or pressure. It is important to remember this concept while studying the plastics manufacturing processes and polymers used.Injection molding is by far the most widely used process of forming thermoplastic materials. It is also one of the oldest. Currently injection molding accounts for 30% of all plastics resin consumption. Since raw material can be converted by a single procedure, injection molding is suitable for mass production of plastics articles and automated one-step production of complex geometries. In most cases, finishing is not necessary. Typical products include toys, automotive parts, household articles, and consumer electronics goods.Since injection molding has a number of interdependent variables, it is a process of considerable complexity. The success of the injection molding operation is dependent not only in the proper setup of the machine hydraulics, barrel temperaturevariations, and changes in material viscosity. Increasing shot-to-shot repeatability of machine variables helps produce parts with tighter tolerance, lowers the level of rejects, and increases product quality (i.e., appearance and serviceability).The principal objective of any molding operation is the manufacture of products: to a specific quality level, in the shortest time, and using repeatable and fully automaticcycle. Molders strive to reduce or eliminate rejected parts in molding production. For injection molding of high precision optical parts, or parts with a high added value such as appliance cases, the payoff of reduced rejects is high.A typical injection molding cycle or sequence consists of five phases;1. Injection or mold filling2. Packing or compression3. Holding4. Cooling5. Part ejectionPlastic granules are fed into the hopper and through an in the injection cylinder where they are carried forward by the rotating screw. The rotation of the screw forces the granules under high pressure against the heated walls of the cylinder causing them to melt. As the pressure building up, the rotating screw is forced backward until enough plastic has accumulated to make the shot. The injection ram (or screw) forces molten plastic from the barrel, through the nozzle, sprue and runner system, and finally into the mold cavities. During injection, the mold cavity is filled volumetrically. When the plastic contacts the cold mold surfaces, it solidifies (freezes) rapidly to produce theskin layer. Since the core remains in the molten state, plastic follows through the core to complete mold filling. Typically, the cavity is filled to 95%~98% during injection. Then the molding process is switched over to the packing phase.Even as the cavity is filled, the molten plastic begins to cool. Since the cooling plastic contracts or shrinks, it gives rise to defects such as sink marks, voids, and dimensional instabilities. To compensate for shrinkage, addition plastic is forced into the cavity. Once the cavity is packed, pressure applied to the melt prevents molten plastic inside the cavity from back flowing out through the gate. The pressure must be applied until the gate solidifies. The process can be divided into two steps (packing and holding) or may be encompassed in one step(holding or second stage). During packing, melt forced into the cavity by the packing pressure compensates for shrinkage. With holding, the pressure merely prevents back flow of the polymer malt.After the holding stage is completed, the cooling phase starts. During, the part is held in the mold for specified period. The duration of the cooling phase depends primarily on the material properties and the part thickness. Typically, the part temperature must cool below the material’s ejection temperature. While cooling the part, the machine plasticates melt for the next cycle.The polymer is subjected to shearing action as well as the condition of the energy from the heater bands. Once the short is made, plastication ceases. This should occur immediately before the end of the cooling phase. Then the mold opens and the part is ejected.When polymers are fabricated into useful articles they are referred to as plastics, rubbers, and fibers. Some polymers, forexample, cotton and wool, occur naturally, but the great majority of commercial products are synthetic in origin. A list of the names of the better known materials would include Bakelite, Dacron, Nylon, Celanese, Orlon, and Styron.Previous to 1930 the use of synthetic polymers was not widespread. However, they should not be classified as new materials for many of them were known in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The failure to develop them during this period was due, in part, to a lack of understanding of their properties, in particular, the problem of the structure of polymers was the subject of much fruitless controversy.Two events of the twentieth century catapulted polymers into a position of worldwide importance. The first of these was the successful commercial production of the plastic now known as Bakelite. Its industrial usefulness was demonstrated in1912 and in the next succeeding years. T oday Bakelite is high on the list of important synthetic products. Before 1912 materials made from cellulose were available, but their manufacture never provided the incentive for new work in the polymer field such as occurred after the advent of Bakelite. The second event was concerned with fundamental studies of the nature polymers by Staudinger in Europe and by Carohers, who worked with the Du Pont company in Delaware. A greater part of the studies were made during the 1920’s. Staudinger’s work was primarily fundamental. Carother’s achievements led t o the development of our present huge plastics industry by causing an awakening of interest in polymer chemistry, an interest which is still strongly apparent today.The Nature of ThermodynamicsThermodynamics is one of the most important areas ofengineering science used to explain how most things work, why some things do not the way that they were intended, and why others things just cannot possibly work at all. It is a key part of the science engineers use to design automotive engines, heat pumps, rocket motors, power stations, gas turbines, air conditioners, super-conducting transmission lines, solar heating systems, etc.Thermodynamics centers about the notions of energy, the idea that energy is conserved is the first low of thermodynamics. It is starting point for the science of thermodynamics is entropy; entropy provides a means for determining if a process is possible.This idea is the basis for the second low of thermodynamics. It also provides the basis for an engineering analysis in which one calculates the maximum amount of useful that can be obtained from a given energy source, or the minimum amount of power input required to do a certain task.A clear understanding of the ideas of entropy is essential for one who needs to use thermodynamics in engineering analysis. Scientists are interested in using thermodynamics to predict and relate the properties of matter; engineers are interested in using this data, together with the basic ideas of energy conservation and entropy production, to analyze the behavior of complex technological systems.There is an example of the sort of system of interest to engineers, a large central power stations. In this particular plant the energy source is petroleum in one of several forms, or sometimes natural gas, and the plant is to convert as much of this energy as possible to electric energy and to send this energy down the transmission line.Simply expressed, the plant does this by boiling water andusing the steam to turn a turbine which turns an electric generator.The simplest such power plants are able to convert only about 25 percent of the fuel energy to electric energy. But this particular plant converts approximately 40 percent;it has been ingeniously designed through careful application of the basic principles of thermodynamics to the hundreds of components in the system.The design engineers who made these calculations used data on the properties of steam developed by physical chemists who in turn used experimental measurements in concert with thermodynamics theory to develop the property data.Plants presently being studied could convert as much as 55 percent of the fuel energy to electric energy, if they indeed perform as predicted by thermodynamics analysis.The rule that the spontaneous flow of heat is always from hotter to cooler objects is a new physical idea. There is noting in the energy conservation principle or in any other law of nature that specifies for us the direction of heat flow. If energy were to flow spontaneously from a block of ice to a surrounding volume of water, this could occur in complete accord with energy conservation. But such a process never happens. This idea is the substance of the second law of thermodynamics.Clear, a refrigerator, which is a physical system used in kitchen refrigerators, freezers, and air-conditioning units must obey not only the first law (energy conservation) but the second law as well.To see why the second law is not violated by a refrigerator, we must be careful in our statement of law. The second law of thermodynamics says, in effect, that heat never flowsspontaneously from a cooler to a hotter object.Or, alternatively, heat can flow from a cooler to a hotter object only as a result of work done by an external agency. We now see the distinction between an everyday spontaneous process, such as the flow of heat from the inside to the outside of a refrigerator.In the water-ice system, the exchange of energy takes place spontaneously and the flow of heat always proceeds from the water to the ice. The water gives up energy and becomes cooler while the ice receives energy and melts.In a refrigerator, on the other hand, the exchange of energy is not spontaneous. Work provided by an external agency is necessary to reverse the natural flow of heat and cool the interior at the expense of further heating the warmer surroundings.译文：塑料注射成型许多不同的加工过程习惯于把塑料颗粒、粉末和液体转化成最终产品。

附页1：英文及中文翻译英文1.Example 24,Injection Mold for an Angle FitingIf ejectors are located behind movable side sores or slides ,the ejector plate return safety checks whether the ejectors have been returned to the molding position.If this is not the case,the molding cycle is interrupted.This safety requires a switch on the mold that is actuated when the ejector plate is in the retracted position. The ejector plate return safety thus functions only if the molding cycle utilizes platen preposition, i.e..,after the molded parts have been ejected, the clamping unit closes to the point at which the ejector plate is returned to the molding position by spring force. Only then does the control system issue the “close mold”command. In molds requiring a long ejector stroke, spring return of the ejector plate is often not sure enough. For such cases, there is an ejector return mechanism that fulfills this function.Attachment of the ejector plate return safety is shown in Figs.1 to 7.This single-cavity mold is used to produce an angle fitting.Two long side cores meet at an angle of 90°.The somewhat shorter side core is pulled by a cam pin,while the longer core is pulled by a slide.The difficulty is that blade ejectors are located under the two cores and must be returned to the molding position after having Ejected the finished part before the two cores are set as the mold closes and possibly damage the blade ejectors .Possible consequences include not only broken blade ejectors but also a damaged cavity. Either of these could result in a lengthy interruption of production. For this reason, a helical spring that permits operation with platen prepostion is placed on the ejector rod. This spring then returns the ejector plate .To ensure proper operation, a microswitch is mounted to the clamping plate,while a pin that actuates the switch is mounted in the ejector plate.After connecting the cable with the switch housing of the movable clamping plate,the ejector plate return safety is complete.Example 25,Mold for Bushings with Concealed Gating2．Example 25, Mold for Bushings with Concealed GatingAflanged bushing is to be injection molded in such a way that any remnants ofthe gate are concealed or as inconspicuous as possible.The bushing would normally require a two-plate mold with a single parting line,The molded part would then be released and ejected along its axis, which coincides with the opening direction of the mold. The gate would be located on the outer surface of the flange since it is in contact with the mold parting line.In order to satisfy the requirement for an “invisible”gate,the cavities (two rows of four) are placed between slides carrying the cores even though there are no undercuts.From a central sprue the melt flows through conical runners in the cores to pinpoint gates located on the inner surface of the bushings. As the slides move during opening of the mold the gates are cleanly sheared off flush with the adjacent part surface. The flexibility of the plastic selected is sufficient to permit release of the end of the runner from the angled runner channel.The parts are now free and can drop out of the mold.3. Example 26,Injection Mold for the Valave Housing of a Water-Mixing Tap Made from PolyacetalA valve housing had to be designed and produced for a water-mixing tap.The problem when designing the tool resulted from the undercuts in four directions.Originally occurring considerable differences in wall thicknesses have been eliminated during optimization. Demands for high precision of the cylindrical vave seat in parti-cular wer negatively influenced by various recesses in the wall and adjoining partitions,which favored sink marks and ovalness.Polyaceta (POM) had been chosen as molding materia.The complete molded part had to have homogeneous walls,and be free from flow lines if at all possible, as it would be subjected to ever-changing contact with hot and cold water during an estimated long life span.Inadequately fused weld lines would be capable of developoing into weak spots and wer therefore to be avoided at all cost.Provision has been made for an electrically heated sprue bushing in order to avoid a long sprue,provide better movement energies for the melt and maintain its temperature until it enters the cavity.The resultant very short runner leads to the gate on the edge of the pipelike housing, to be hidden by a part that is subsequently fitted to cover it.The gating,the predetermined mold temperature,the wall thickness at the critical positions and the resultant shrinkage have been employed as the basis for dimensioning the part-forming components.Two cores each cross in the pipe-shaped housing,i.e.one core each penetrates another core.This obviously presents a danger spot should the minutest deviation occur from the specified time and movement-based coordination as well as from the accuracy in the mold.The hollow cores are kept in position by mechanical delay during the first phase of mold opening,while the crossing cores are each withdrawn by an angle pin . Mechanical actuation has been preferred over a hydraulic or pneumatic one in this case in order to exclude the danger of a sequencing error (the so-called human factor) during set-up and operation.The cores consist of a beryllium-copper alloy. They are cooled by heat conducting pins.4．Example 29,Injection Mold for the Housing of a Polypropylene Vegetable DicerMolded PartThe housing accommodates a cutting disc that is driven by a hand crank . The shaft of the crank drive is located in a bore in the housing. The underneath of the housing has a recess for accommodating a suction cap to attach the device to a table. The top of the housing has a filling shaft which supplies the cutting disc with the vegetables to be diced. A feed hopper will be attached to this filling shaft.The molded part weighs 386 g.MoldThe mold was designed so that the dicing chamber lies in the mold-opening direction.The housing base,the filling shaft and two other apertures are ejected with the aid of splits ,a core puller and slides.The slide,moved by the angle pin,forms the inside contour of the housing base .In the closed position,the split shoulder lies against punch and so forms the bore for attaching the suction cap to the housing base .The cylindrical slide lies in the mold parting line and each half is enclosed by the mold plates and.Guide strips lead the slide on the mold plate. The slide supports itself against the effect of the cavity pressure via the adjusting plate and the wedge. Bending of the wedge is prevented by the adjusting plate and the mold plate. The vegetable filling shaft and the passage to the dicing chamber are formed by the mobile core. Its movement is provided by the angle pin.Figure 7 shows the core guide in the guide strip.The inserted core is locked via the wedge and adjusting plate .The guide strip forms a rectangular opening in theside wall of the housing which lies half over and half under the mold parting line. It is moved by two angle pins and is locked in the closed state by two bolts. A guide strip which is bolted and doweled to the mold plate is guided in a T-solt.Finally, a slit has to be formed in the housing wall that penetrates a reinforcement there. Rectangular aperture and reinforcement are formed by the slide which is actuated by the angle pin and locked by the wedge.Two bars serve to guide the slide on the mold plate. Since the angle pins traverse out from the slide ,the core and the guide bars on mold opening, each is provided with ball catches that keep these guide elements in the “open” position. Bars and rolls support the plate on the clamp plate.Runner System/GatingThe sprue bushing lies on the axis of the housing bore, which accommodates the blade drive shaft.The end of the sprue bushing forms the face of an eye inside the dicing chamber that is a part of the crankshaft mount. A core pin protrudes into the bore of the sprue bushing and divides the sprue into three pinpoint gates.Mold Temperature ControlThe coolant is guided in bores and cooling channels in the mold plates, inserts and punches.The splits and offer sufficient space for accommodating cooling channels..Part Release/EjectionOn mold opening,the angle pins on the fixed mold side push the splits ,cores and slides on the moving side so far outward that they release the undercuts of the housing. The molded part remanis on the moving mold side.Ejector pins and ejector sleeve push the molded part out of the ejector-side mold cavities and off core pin. Since the ejector pins are contour-forming,they must be secured against twisting . On mold closing, the ejector system is brought into the injection molding position by ejector-plate return pins and buffer pins,and so too are the splits ,cores and slides by their respective angle pints.译文1．注塑模具角度为拟合如果喷射器是可移动的侧后面疮或幻灯片位于顶针板返回安全的喷射器是否已返回成型，这是不是这样，成型周期检查中断。

英文原文Injection molding machineInjection molding machine is plastic machine for short. It uses the thermal physical propertiesof plastics, the material from the hopper into the barrel, is barreled by heating coil heat, so the material will be melted, which is arranged by the external force under the action of the motor driving the rotation of the screw in the barrel. The material in the screw under the action of the screw groove, along the forward delivery and compaction, dual role the material in the heating and shear under gradually plasticizing, melted and homogenized, when the screw rotates, the material in the screw channel friction and shear force, the molten material is pushed to the screw head. At the same time, the screw with backward in the material, the screw head forming material storage space, completing the plasticizing process, then, screw in the injection cylinder piston thrust under the action of high speed, high pressure, in the material storage chamber, the melt through the nozzle to the mold cavity injection, cavity melt after pressing, cooling, solidification, mold in the mold closing mechanism of action next, open mold, and through the ejection device to finalize the design good products fall from the top die.Configuration according to the clamping member and the injection component type has horizontal, vertical, angle type three(1) Horizontal injection molding machine: horizontal injection molding machine is the most common type. Its characteristic is the center line injection assembly and clamping assembly center line of concentric or consistent, also with the parallel to the mounting surface. It has the advantages of low center of gravity, steady work, mold installation, operation and repair, which are convenient, the mold opening big, small occupied space height; but covers an area of large. (2) Vertical injection molding machine: its characteristic is clamping device and injection device of the axis line arrangement and perpendicular to the ground. It also has the advantages of small occupied area, convenient assembly and disassembly of insert mold, easy installation, since the bucket into the material plasticization is evenly, easy to realize automation and machine automation line management. The disadvantage of it is the top product is not easy to fall off automatically, it often needs manual or other method to take out, and is not easy to realize full automatic operation and large products injection; machine height, feeding, inconvenient repair. (3) Angle type injection molding machine: injection device and a molding device axis are arranged vertically. According to the injection assembly center lines are vertical, horizontal and relative position of the vertical and horizontal installation, recumbent points: ① horizontal vertical, injection assembly line and plane parallel, and mold assembly center line and the base of vertical and horizontal, vertical; injection assembly center line and the surface vertical, and die assembly center line and the reference surface. The advantages of angle type injection machine has theadvantages of both horizontal and vertical injection molding machine, special apply to the mold opening side gate asymmetric geometry products.At present, the injection device are common cylinder form and double cylinder form, I plant the injection molding machine is double cylinder form, and is directly driven by a hydraulic motor of screw in injection molding. Because of different manufacturers, different types of machine components are not the same; the following will make a concrete analysis of our factory with machine.The working principle is: the plastic, screw in plastic parts in the drive the main shaft to rotate through the hydraulic motor, spindle end is connected with the screw, and the other end of the hydraulic motor key connection, screw rotation, plasticity and melt classified pushed to the storage chamber cylinder front, at the same time, screw back in the reaction material, and through the thrust bearing the thrust seat back, pulling the piston rod through the nut straight back. To complete the measurement, injection, the injection cylinder rod chamber oil inlet through the bearing to push the piston rod to complete the action, the rod chamber piston oil inlet to push the piston rod and screw and finish the injection.The work principle of screw plasticizing components: performs, screw rotation, from the material inlet into the screw groove material advancing continuously forward, heating ring through the barrel wall of the heat transfer to the spiral groove material, solid material in the dual role of external heating and screw rotational shear, and through the thermal process functional section of screw, achieving the plasticizing and melting, melting away the check ring around the screw head, front end through the channel into the screw, and generates backpressure, push the screw after the shift measurement complete melt, at the time of injection screw up, piston effect, with rapid advancement, in the cylinder, will melt reservoir material in the chamber through the nozzle into the mold.Screw plasticizing components generally have the following characteristics:The screw has two functions of plasticizing and injection;The screw in plastic, only for the plasticThe plastics in plasticizing process, thermal process through than extrusion;The screw on the plasticizing and injection were to occur, axial displacement, and screw in working state of intermittent when to stop, thus forming a non - stability of screw plasticizing process.(1) ScrewScrew is a key component of plastic parts, direct contact with plastic, plastic through the effective length of the screw channel, after the heat for a long time, must go through 3 states (glass, behavior, viscous state) transformation, geometric parameters, geometry, length of functional section of screw will directly affect the transmission efficiency and the plasticizing quality of plastic, will ultimately affect the quality of injection molding cycle and product.Compared with the extrusion screw, plastic screw has the following characteristics:The injection screw length-diameter ratio and compression ratio is small;Screw groove of injection screw is section of the deep;The injection screws feeding sections is longer, and are short;The injection screw work, plasticizing capacity and melt temperature will vary with the axial displacement screw and change.(I) classification, screwInjection screw according to the plastic adaptability, can be divided into general and special screw, general also called conventional screw, can be processed with low viscosity, most of the thermoplastic, civil plastic crystalline and amorphous and engineering plastics, is the most basic form of the screw, and the corresponding and special screw, is used to process with ordinary screw processing hard plastic; according to the screw structure and geometry characteristics, can be divided into conventional screw and screw, the conventional screw is also known as the three section screw, is the basic form of the screw, screw form has many kinds, such as separation screw, screw, wavy shunt screw, no metering section of screw.The conventional screw thread effective length is usually divided into feeding sections (conveying), the compression section (Plastics segment), and metering section (averaging period), according to the plastic properties of different, can be divided into gradual, mutation type and general type screw.The tapered screw: compression long, plasticizing energy transfer for PVC relaxation, poor thermal stability of plastic.The mutant compression screw: short, plasticizing energy conversion is more acuteness, used for polyolefin, PA crystalline plastics.The general purpose screw: adaptability is strong, and can be suitable for processing a variety of plastic, avoid frequent replacement of the screw, increase production efficiency.DS screw diameter, screw diameter directly affect the plasticizing capacity, will directly affect the injection volume, therefore, injection volume of injection molding machine the screw diameter is large.L/ds - screw length to diameter ratio. L is the effective length of screw thread part of the screw, the ratio of length to diameter is larger, the length of that thread, directly affect the thermal process of material in the screw, the ability to influence the absorption of energy, while the energy source has two parts: one part is the external heating coil to the barrel, and another part is friction thermal and shear heat generated by the rotation of the screw, the external mechanical energy conversion, therefore, L/ds directly affect the melting effect of material and melt, but if L/ds is too large, the transmission torque increase, increased energy consumption.L1 - feeding length. The feeding section is also called conveying or feed section, in order to improve the transport capacity, screw groove surface must be smooth, the length of the L1 shallensure that the material conveying length too short enough, because L1 will lead to premature melting material, thus it is difficult to guarantee the transportation conditions of stabilizing pressure, will be difficult to ensure the screw later. Plastic under their own gravity from the hopper to slip into the screw, screw rotation, the thrust surface friction in the barrel and screw groove under the action of the material is compressed into a solid, nut intensive, the relative motion along the direction of the thread, this section, plastic solid state, namely the glass state.The depth of screw channel H1 - feed section. H1 deep, is receiving materials, improving the feeding quantity and plasticizing capacity, but will affect the shear strength of material plasticization and screw root, general H1 ≈ (0.12 ~ 0.16) ds.L3 - melting length. Melting section called homogeneous section or the measuring section, melt further homogenization, uniform temperature in the channel of L3 segment, uniform composition, the formation of good quality of melt, the length of L3 is helpful to melt in the screw groove fluctuations, stable pressure, causes the material to feed evenly extruded from the screw head, so it is also called the metering section. L3 short time, help to improve the general screw plasticizing capacity, L3= (4 ~ 5)ds.H3 - melting section of spiral groove depth, H3 small, shallow groove, improves the plasticizing effect of plastic melt, to melt homogenization, but H3 is too small will lead to higher shear rate, and shear heat is too large, causing degradation of the molecular chain, the effect of melt quality,; conversely, if the H3 is too large, the perform, enhanced flow screw back pressure generated, will reduce the plasticizing capacity.L2 - plasticizing period (compression) length of thread. The tapered space material continuously under compression, shear and mixing effect, material from the L2 point, molten pool increased, to the point of weld pool has been occupying the entire screw groove, the material from the glass state through viscoelastic state transition to a viscous state, namely this segment, the plastic is state of coexistence in the particles with a molten body. The length of L2 will affect the transformation of the material from the glassy to viscous flow state, is too short will not change, plugging in the terminal segment of the L2 formation of high pressure, torque or axial force of solid material; too long will increase the screw torque and unnecessary consumption, general L2= (6 ~ 8) ds. For the crystalline plastics, material melting point, melting a narrow range, L2 can be shorter, generally (3 ~ 4) ds, for heat-sensitive plastic, this section Kvetching.S - Pitch, the size effect of helix angle, thus affecting the transport efficiency of screw, general S ≈ ds.E - Compression ratio. ε =h1/h3, namely the feeding section of spiral groove depth H1 and the melting section of spiral groove depth ratio of h3. E, will enhance the shear effect, but will weaken the plasticizing capacity, generally speaking, ε slightly smaller as well, to help improve the plasticizing capacity and increase the adaptability to raw materials, for crystalline plastics, the compression ratio is 2.6~3.0. For low viscosity and thermal stability of plastic, can choose thehigh compression ratio and high viscosity; thermal sensitivity plastic, should choose low compression rate.(2) The screw headIn the injection screw, screw head is: the plastic, can be good plastic melt and releasing to the storage chamber, and in high pressure injection, and can effectively close the melt front screw head, prevent backflow.The screw head is divided into two categories, with check ring and not the inverse ring with the check, the check ring, a plastic screw, melt homogenizing section will check ring away, through the gap formation and the screw head, into the storage chamber, injection pressure, melt screw the head of the formation of thrust, the non-return valve return channel plugging, prevent backflow. For some high viscosity materials such as PMMA, PC, AC or poor thermal stability of PVC material, in order to reduce the retention time of shearing and material, can not check ring, but this injection will produce reflux, prolonging holding time.On the screw head requirements:The screw head to be flexible smooth;The check ring and the cylinder to be suitable with the gap, to prevent melt flow, and flexible; The existing flow section is enough, but also to ensure the check ring face a return force, making fast closed at the time of injection;The structure should be easy disassembly, convenient cleaning;The direction of the screw thread screw and screw in screw head instead, prevent a plastic screw head loose.(3) Cylinder(I), the barrel structureCylinder is an important part of plastic parts; interior screw is arranged outside the heating coil, under complex stress and thermal stress.(II), the feeding portStructure feeding port directly affects feed effect and plastic parts of the feeding ability, injection molding machine most by gravity feed material in hopper, simple manufacture, but feed the negative; the feed material and the screw contact angle, contact area is large, can improve the feed efficiency, is not easy in the hopper into bridge hole.(III), cylinder wall thicknessCylinder wall thickness is of sufficient strength and stiffness, because the barrel to melt and gas pressure, and the barrel length to diameter ratio, cylinder requires enough heat capacity, so the cylinder walls have a certain thickness, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that the temperature stability; but if it is too thick, barrel bulky, waste material, the thermal inertia of large, slow temperature rise, temperature regulation of delay larger.(IV), cylinder clearanceCylinder gap refers to the single gap barrel wall and screw diameter, the gap is too large, plasticizing capacity is reduced, injected back into the discharge increases, injection time, causing material degradation in the process; if it is too small, the thermal expansion effect on the screw and barrel friction, energy consumption increased, even death card, this gap delta = (0.002~0.005) ds.(V), the material heating and cooling tubeInjection molding machine barrel heating with electric resistance, ceramic heating, cast aluminum heating, should be reasonably arranged according to the application and processing of materials, commonly used has the resistance heating and ceramic heating, to comply with the requirements of injection molding process, the barrel to subsection control, small 3, large machine 5.Cooling refers to the feeding mouth is cooling, because the feeding mouth if the temperature is too high, the solid in the feeding mouth "bridge", blocking the outlet, thus affecting the transport efficiency of feed section, so the cooling water jacket is arranged in the cooling it. Our factory is through the cooling circulating water cooling of the feed inlet.(4) Nozzle(I) function of spray nozzleThe nozzle is an important part of connecting plasticizing device and mold flow; nozzle has a variety of functions:The perform, establishment of backpressure, degassed, prevent melt salivation, improve plasticizing capability and measurement precision;The injection mold, forming the contact pressure and the main cast, keep good contact with pouring nozzle sleeve, forming a closed channel, to prevent the plastic melt under high pressure overflow;injection, establish the melt pressure, shear stress, and the pressure head into the velocity head, the increase of shear rate and temperature, enhance mixing and homogenizing;Changing the nozzle structure to match the mold and plasticizing device, a new type of flow channel or injection system;The nozzle also bears the thermostat, thermal insulation and cutting function;The reducing melts in the import and export of the viscoelastic effect and the eddy loss, in order to stabilize its flow;The holding pressure, easy to mold products of feeding, and the cooling shaping increased reflow resistance, reduce or prevent the melt in the cavity to return.(II) The basic form, nozzleNozzle can be divided into straight-through nozzle, locking type nozzle, hot runner nozzle and the flow nozzle, the present stage our factory are straight-through nozzle.Straight-through nozzle is the nozzle is widely applied, its characteristic is the direct and main casting mold nozzle spherical contact, the nozzle radius and the channel than the mold to be small, injection pressure, melt directly through the mold runner system is filled into the cavity, fast speed, low pressure loss, manufacturing and installation are all relatively convenient.Locking type nozzle is mainly to solve the problem through the nozzle salivation, suitable for low viscosity polymer (such as PA) processing. In the closing the nozzle plastic, prevent melt salivation phenomenon, and when the injection and injection pressure to open, so that melt into the mold cavity.2 injection cylinderIts working principle is: the injection cylinder into the oil, the piston drives the piston rod and the bearing is arranged on the thrust seat, drive screwPush the screw forward or backward. Through the nut piston rod head, can adjust the timing of two parallel to the axial position of the piston rod and the injection screw axial position.3 thrust bearingInjection, thrust bearing thrust shaft driven by screw injection; while the plastic, the oil motor drive screw rotation to achieve thrust shaft drives the perform.4 cylindersWhen a moving oil cylinder into the oil, forward seat injection or the back action, and to ensure the injection nozzle and mould the main cast set of circular arc closely contact, the injection pressure can seal the melt.The 5 part accuracy requirements for injectionAfter the assembly, the components are arranged on the machine frame, must ensure that the nozzle and mold water sleeve is tightly bonding, in order to prevent overflow, the center line of injection parts requirements and the clamping parts of the center line of concentric; in order to ensure the accuracy of injection screw and barrel inner hole, must ensure that the two injection cylinder bore and the center cylinder hole is parallel with the center line of symmetry; in the horizontal plane, parallelism and symmetry for the center of a moving oil cylinder two guide holes also must ensure that the vertical machine, it must ensure that the two seat moving oil cylinder hole and a cylinder positioning the center hole is parallel with the center line of symmetry. Factors affecting the location accuracy of hole and shaft are associated parts size precision, geometric accuracy, precision and assembly precision.Each kind of plastic, has an ideal plastic processing temperature range, should control the processing temperature of barrel, which is close to the temperature range. Granular plastic from the hopper into the barrel, the first will arrive at a feeding section, in the feeding section will appear dry friction, when the plastic is heated, melting is not uniform, very easy to cause the barrel wall and screw wear surface. Similarly, the compression section and the entire segment, if the molten state disorder plastic uneven will result in increased wear.Speed should be adjusted properly. The friction force of these substances on the metal material is often much larger than the molten plastic. In the plastic injection molding, if using high speed in the shear stress on the plastic at the same time, it will also strengthen correspondingly more torn fibers, the torn fibers containing sharp end, to wear a large force to increase. Inorganic minerals on the surface of metal high-speed taxiing, the scraping is not a small role. So the speed should not be too high.In addition to check in plastic debris, the original purchase fresh plastic and no debris, but after weighing, transport, drying, mixing, especially to add recycling back material, there may be mixed with debris. Small as metal filings, as big as a heating ring nut clip, or clusters of warehouse key, mixed into the barrel had occurred, the screw damage is self-evident. (barrel of course also damage), therefore must install the magnetic iron material, strict management and monitoring. Moisture in plastics has a certain effect on the wear surface of the screw. If the plastic in injection unprecedented will eliminate all residual moisture, moisture into the screw compression section, they formed before melt blend in molten plastic with high temperature and high pressure "steam particles", with the injection process screw propulsion, from homogeneous section until the screw head, these "steam" particle, pressure drop and expansion in the injection process, the impurities such as a fine grain, rubbing on the wall damage. In addition, for some types of plastic, under high temperature and high pressure, the water may become a catalyst for cracking of plastic, harmful impurities can corrode the metal surface. Therefore, the drying work plastic injection before, not only has a direct relationship to the product quality, but also affects the service life of the screw.中文译文注塑成型机注塑成型机简称注塑机。

Due to the possibility of an initial gap at the top of the preform and out-of-plane heterogeneity in the multi-layered fiber preform, a full three-dimensional (3D) flow simulation is essential. We propose an algorithm to generate a suitable 3D finite element mesh, starting from a two-dimensional shell mesh representing the geometry of the mold cavity. Since different layers of the preform have different compressibility, and since properties such as permeability are a strong function of the degree of compression, a simultaneous prediction of preform compression along with the resin flow is necessary for accurate mold filling simulation. The algorithm creates a coarser mechanical mesh to simulate compression of the preform, and a finer flow mesh to simulate the motion of the resin in the preform and gap. Lines connected to the top and bottom plates of the mold, called spines, are used as conduits for the nodes. A method to generate a surface parallel to a given surface, thereby maintaining the thickness of the intermediate space, is used to construct the layers of the preform in the mechanical mesh. The mechanical mesh is further subdivided along the spines to create the flow mesh. Examples of the three-dimensional meshes generated by the algorithm are presented. 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

IntroductionLiquid composite molding (LCM) is emerging as an important technology to make net-shape parts of polymer-matrix composites. In any LCM process, a preform of reinforcing fibers is placed in a closed mold, then a liquid polymer resin is injected into the mold to infiltrate the preform. When the mold is full, the polymer is cured by a crosslinking reaction to become a rigid solid. Then the mold is opened to remove the part. LCM processes offer a way to produce high-performance composite parts using a rapid process with low labor requirement.This paper deals with a particular type of LCM process called injection/compression liquid composite molding (I/C-LCM). In I/C-LCM, unlike other types of LCM processes, the mold is only partially closed when resin injection begins. This increases the cross-sectional area availablefor the resin flow, and decreases flow resistance by providing high porosity in the reinforcement. Often, the presence of a gap at the top of the preform further facilitates the flow. After all of the resin has been injected, the mold is slowly closed to its final height, causing additional resin flow and saturating all portions of the preform. The I/CLCM process fills the mold more rapidly, and at a lower pressure than the other LCM processes that use injection alone.Complete filling of the mold with adequate wetting of the fibers is the primary objective of any LCM mold designer; incomplete filling in the mold leads to production of defective parts with dry spots. There are many factors which affect the filling of the mold: permeability of the preform, presence of gaps in the mold to facilitate resin flow, arrangement of inlet and outlet gates, injection rates of resin from different inlet ports, etc. Often it is not possible for the mold designer to visualize and design an adequate system for resin infusion by intuition alone, and mold filling simulations are used to optimize mold performance. The situation in I/C-LCM is more complex than ordinary LCM because of compression of the mold during the filling operation. As a result, numerical simulation of the mold filling process in I/C-LCM becomes all the more important.I/C-LCM fiber preforms frequently comprise layers of different reinforcing materials such as biaxial woven fabrics, stitch-bonded uniaxial fibers, random fibers. Each type of material has a unique behavior as it is compressed in the mold. When such different materials are layered to form the preform, each of them will compress by different amounts as the mold is closed. This behavior is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows a small piece of a mold. Here the lighter center layer deforms much more than the darker outer layer as the mold is closed.(B) After compression (A) Before compressionFig. 1. Uneven deformation of preform layers under compression.Capturing this deformation behavior during compression is critical to the accuracy of any I/C-LCM process model. Resin flows through the preform at all stages of compression, and the porosity and permeability of the preform are critical in determining the resin flow. The ratio of deformed volume to initial volume determines the porosity of each preform layer, and from this one can determine the layer's permeability, either from a theoretical prediction or a correlation of experimental data. Because of this strong coupling between the state of compression in a preform layer and its permeability, computations for fluid flow and preform compression have to be done simultaneously for mold filling simulations in I/C-LCM.Significant steps have already been taken to computationally model the mold filling in the I/C-LCM process. A computer program called crimson, is capable of isothermal mold fillingsimulation which involves simultaneous fluid flow and preform compression computations in the flow domain. But the initial capacity of crimson is limited to two-dimensional (2D) planar geometries where prediction of preform compression is straightforward. Deformation of the preform is modeled using the incremental linearized theory of elasticity; the mathematics simplifies due to reduction in the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) associated with displacement from the usual three to one along the thickness direction. However parts made by the I/C-LCM process typically have complicated three-dimensional shapes and this reduction of the mathematical complexity is no longer possible. The present paper describes our effort to expand the capability of crimson by enabling it to tackle any arbitrary non-planar three dimensional (3D) mold geometry.Most injection molding simulation programs read for the mold geometry in the form of a shell mesh. Even if it were possible to transmit the full geometrical information about the mold through a 3D mesh, it still is difficult to incorporate all the information of relevance to the process engineer. The latter needs to know the thicknesses of various layers of fiber mats and their corresponding porosities at each time step. As a result, it is very important that elements representing different layers of preform in the 3D finite element mesh fall within separate layered regions. Overlap of an element onto more than one region is not acceptable as the element has to carry the material properties, such as porosity, permeability, of only one fiber mat. Mesh-generators in state-of-the-art commercial software such as PATRAN are not designed to generate such a 3D mesh. Consequently, we decided to create a preprocessor suitable for I/C-LCM mold filling simulation.The objectives of this paper are to introduce basic ideas about modeling mold filling in 3D I/C-LCM parts, and to introduce an algorithm to generate a 3D finite element mesh from a given 2D shell mesh for preform and flow computations. In subsequent papers, we will model finite deformation of preform using the non-linear theory of elasticity, and use this information to model resin flow in an I/C-LCM mold.2. Generating a 3D mesh from the given 2D shell meshOur aim is to develop a preprocessor that can generate 3D finite element meshes for flow computations starting from a 2D shell mesh. We wish to allow the I/C-LCM process engineer to include all relevant information such as thicknesses of the layers of the preform, thickness of the gap, into the mesh.A - open gap everywhere C - just touching / partly compressedD - fully compressed everywhere B - open gap / just touchingFig. 2. A schematic describing the various stages of the compression/injection molding process. The top plate of the mold moves along theclamping vector, while the bottom plate is stationary. Stages A–C arethree possible starting positions of the top plate. Stage D shows the finalconfiguration of the mold when it is fully compressed.Fig.2 describes the three possible starting mold configurations (A-C) for a typical angular part geometry. Case A represents the starting configuration for the open mold injection/compression (I/C) molding, with ample gap between the top plate and preform. Cases B and C occur when the gap is partly or completely eliminated before the start of the injection process. In the former, the preform is completely uncompressed with gaps at a few places. In the latter, the gap is removed at the cost of partial compression of the preform in certain regions. In the present paper, mesh generation for configuration A only will be addressed. Once this mesh is created, cases B and C can be generated by solving for the mechanical compression of the preform.As we shall see in the subsequent papers, six-noded wedge elements and eight-noded brick elements are adequate for modeling both the resin flow and preform compression. Our mesh generation algorithm is designed to generate such elements from the three- and four-noded triangular and quadrilateral elements of the shell mesh.2.1. Mechanical and flow meshesDevelopment of the 3D mesh for flow computations from a given 2D shell mesh, representing the part geometry, is divided into two stages. In the first stage, an intermediate mechanical mesh is created, where the number of layers of elements equals the number of fiber mats in the lay-up, with the thickness of the mats equal to the height of those elements. Such a coarse mesh is adequate to track deformation of the mats during compression of the mold. In the second stage, the mechanical mesh is further subdivided along the thickness direction to create a more refined mesh, called the flow mesh, which is used for flow calculations.3. Basic concepts of mesh generation algorithmWe first introduce two basic ideas that form the backbone of our mesh generation algorithm: spines and parallel surfaces.3.1. Use of spinesOne of the salient features of our mesh generation technique is the use of spines to track the nodes of the 3D mechanical mesh. This is similar to the use of spines in the free boundary problems where they have been used to adapt the computational mesh with time. These spines are lines connecting node points of the top mold surface to their counterparts of the bottom mold surface.4. AlgorithmThe main actions carried out in our mesh generation algorithm are as follows:1. Read data describing the 2D shell mesh. The mesh data is read, along with the information important for process modeling such as direction of clamping, properties of fiber mats, initial gap provided at the top of the preform.2. Construct the upper surface of the final part. The upper surface is generated parallel to the input 2D shell mesh which represents the bottom, immovable surface of the mold. The inputthicknesses between the given and upper surfaces are taken to be the final thickness of the I/C-LCM mold (equal to the desired part thickness).5. Examples and discussionA computer program has been developed to implement the mesh generation algorithm, and tested for its efficacy and robustness. In the following sections, examples of the creation of 3D computational meshes from 2D shell meshes are presented. Since the thicknesses in the I/C-LCM parts are much smaller than their other dimensions, realistic meshes are relatively thin. To highlight important features of the algorithm, the thicknesses of the meshes are scaled up in the following examples. In each example, a gap that is a certain fraction of the total thickness of the uncompressed preform is provided between the upper surface of the preform and the top mold plate.6. Summary and conclusionsIn this paper, we present a methodology to create 3D finite element meshes for modeling mold filling in I/CLCM. We propose the concept of predicting preform compression using the coarse mechanical mesh, and predicting fluid flow using the finer flow mesh. A mesh-generating algorithm, to create the mechanical and flow meshes from a given shell mesh, is presented. This algorithm incorporates information about the position of fiber mat interfaces in a multi-layered preform, which is crucial for accurate modeling of the filling process. A technique to create surfaces parallel to any arbitrary shell mesh surface enables us to represent the interfaces accurately. Further, the use of spines in mesh generation reduces the number of unknowns at each node from three to one. The algorithm is used successfully to create the mechanical and flow meshes from two different shell meshes; its robustness is demonstrated by creating a 3D mesh from a shell mesh for an arbitrary mold shape. The need to refine the shell mesh in the region of a step change in the thickness of the mold is the main limitation of the algorithm.

第一篇译文（中文）2.3注射模2.3.1注射模塑注塑主要用于热塑性制件的生产，它也是最古老的塑料成型方式之一。

目前，注塑占所有塑料树脂消费的30%。

典型的注塑产品主要有杯子器具、容器、机架、工具手柄、旋钮（球形捏手）、电器和通讯部件（如电话接收器），玩具和铅管制造装置。

聚合物熔体因其较高的分子质量而具有很高的粘性；它们不能像金属一样在重力流的作用下直接被倒入模具中，而是需要在高压的作用下强行注入模具中。

因此当一个金属铸件的机械性能主要由模壁热传递的速率决定，这决定了最终铸件的晶粒度和纤维取向，也决定了注塑时熔体注入时的高压产生强大的剪切力是物料中分子取向的主要决定力量。

由此所知，成品的机械性能主要受注射条件和在模具中的冷却条件影响。

注塑已经被应用于热塑性塑料和热固性塑料、泡沫部分，而且也已经被改良用于生产反应注塑过程，在此过程中，一个热固树脂系统的两个组成部分在模具中同时被注射填充，然后迅速聚合。

然而大多数注塑被用热塑性塑料上，接下来的讨论就集中在这样的模具上。

典型的注塑周期或流程包括五个阶段（见图2-1）：（1）注射或模具填充；（2）填充或压紧；（3）定型；（4）冷却；（5）零件顶出。

图2-1 注塑流程塑料芯块（或粉末）被装入进料斗，穿过一条在注射料筒中通过旋转螺杆的作用下塑料芯块（或粉末）被向前推进的通道。

螺杆的旋转迫使这些芯块在高压下对抗使它们受热融化的料筒加热壁。

加热温度在265至500华氏度之间。

随着压力增强，旋转螺杆被推向后压直到积累了足够的塑料能够发射。

注射活塞迫使熔融塑料从料筒，通过喷嘴、浇口和流道系统，最后进入模具型腔。

在注塑过程中，模具型腔被完全充满。

当塑料接触冰冷的模具表面，便迅速固化形成表层。

由于型芯还处于熔融状态，塑料流经型芯来完成模具的填充。

典型地，在注塑过程中模具型腔被填充至95%~98%。

然后模具成型过程将进行至压紧阶段。

当模具型腔充满的时候，熔融的塑料便开始冷却。

由于塑料冷却过程中会收缩，这增加了收缩痕、气空、尺寸不稳定性等瑕疵。

为了弥补收缩，额外的塑料就要被压入型腔。

型腔一旦被填充，作用于使物料熔化的压力就会阻止模具型腔中的熔融塑料由模具型腔浇口处回流。

压力一直作用到模具型腔浇口固化。

这个过程可以分为两步（压紧和定型），或者一步完成（定型或者第二阶段）。

在压紧过程中，熔化物通过补偿收缩的保压压力来进入型腔。

固化成型过程中，压力仅仅是为了阻止聚合物熔化物逆流。

固化成型阶段完成之后，冷却阶段便开始了。

在这个阶段中，部件在模具中停留某一规定时间。

冷却阶段的时间长短主要取决于材料特性和部件的厚度。

典型地，部件的温度必须冷却到物料的喷出温度以下。

冷却部件时，机器将熔化物塑炼以供下一个周期使用。

高聚物受剪切作用和电热丝的能量情况影响。

一旦喷射成功，塑炼过程便停止了。

这是在冷却阶段结束之前瞬间发生的。

然后模具打开，部件便生产出来了。

2.3.2注塑模具注塑模具与它们的生产出来的产品一样，在设计、精密度和尺寸方面各不相同。

热塑性模具的功能主要是把可塑性聚合物制成人们想要的形状，然后再将模制部件冷却。

模具主要由两个部件组成：（1）型腔和型芯，（2）固定型腔和型芯的底座。

模制品的尺寸和重量限制了模具型腔的数量，同时也决定了所需设备的能力。

从模具成型过程考虑，模具设计时要能安全合模、注射、脱模的作用力。

此外，浇口和流道的设计必须允许有效的流动以及模具型腔均匀填充。

图2-2举例说明了典型注射模具中的部件。

模具主要由两部分组成：固定部分（型腔固定板），熔化的聚合物被注入的旁边；在注塑设备结尾或排出旁边的瓣合（中心板）部分。

模具这两部分之间的分隔线叫做分型线。

注射材料通过一条叫做浇口的中心进料通道被转运。

浇口位于浇口轴套的上面，它逐渐缩小（锥形）是为了促进模具打开时浇注材料的释放。

在多型腔模具中，主流道将高分子聚合熔化物提供到流道系统中，流道系统通过浇口流入每个模具型腔。

中心板支撑主型芯。

主型芯的用途是确立部件的内部结构。

中心板有一个支持或支撑板。

支撑板反过来被背对注塑模顶杆空间的U型结构的柱子支撑，注塑模顶杆空间由背面的压板和垫块组成。

被固定在中心板上的U型结构，为也被叫做脱模行程的顶出行程提供了空间。

在固化的过程中，部件从主型芯周围收缩以至于当模具打开的时候，部件和浇口随着瓣合机构一起被带出来。

接着，中央的起模杆被激活，引起脱模板向前移动以至于顶杆能够推动部件离开型芯。

带有冷却通道的上下模被提供，冷却通道通过冷却水循环流通来吸收热塑性高分子聚合熔融物传递给模具的热量。

模具型腔也包含好的通风口（对于5毫米而言，通风口应该为0.02到0.08毫米）来确保填充过程中没有空气滞留在模具型腔内。

1-顶杆2-顶出板3-导套4-导柱5-下顶针板6-脱件销7-复位杆8-限位杆9-导柱10-导柱11-型腔板12-浇口套13-塑料工件14-型芯现在使用的有六种基本注射模具类型。

它们是：（1）双板模；（2）三板模；（3）热流道模具；（4）绝热保温流道模具；（5）温流道模具；和（6）重叠压塑模具。

图2-3和图2-4阐明了这六种基本注射模具类型。

1.双板模一个双板模具由每块都带有型腔和型芯的两块平板组成。

平板被固定在压板上。

瓣合机构包含工件自动拆卸机构和流道系统。

所有注射模具的基本设计都有这个思想。

双板模具是用来制作要求大型浇口制品的最合理的工具。

2.三板模这种类型的模具由三块板组成：（1）固定板或压板被连接到固定压盘上，通常包含主流道和分流道；（2）当模具打开的时候，包含分流道和浇口中间板或型腔固定板是被允许浮动的；（3）活动板或阳模板包含模制件和用来除去模制件的顶出装置。

当按压进行打开的时候，中间板和活动板一起移动，因此释放了主流道和分流道系统和清除了浇口处模制品的赘物。

当模具打开的时候，这种设计类型的模具使分离流道系统和模制件变成了可能。

这种模具设计让点浇口浇注系统能够运用。

3.热流道模具在这个注射模具的流程中，分流道要保持热的，目的是使熔融的塑料一直处于流动的状态。

实际上，这是一个“无流道”模具流程，有时候它也被叫做无流道模具。

在无流道模具中，分流道被包含在自己的板中。

热流道模具除了模塑周期中模具的分流道部分不被打开这点外，其他地方与三板注射模具相似。

加热流道板与剩下的冷却部分的模具是绝缘的。

分流道中除了热加板，模具中剩余部分是一个标准的两板模具。

无流道模具相比传统的浇口流道模具有几个优点。

无流道模具没有模具副产品（浇口，分流道，主流道）被处理或者再利用，也没有浇口与制件的分离。

周期仅仅要求制件被冷却和从模具中脱离。

在这个系统中，从注射料筒到模具型腔，温度能够达到统一。

4.绝热保温流道模具绝热流道模具是热流道模具的一种演变。

在这种类型的模具中，分流道材料的外表面充当了绝缘体来让熔融材料通过。

在隔热的模具中，通过保留自己的温度使模具中的物料一直是熔化的。

有时候，一个分料梭和热探测器被加入模具中来增加柔韧性。

这种类型的模具对于多孔中心浇口的制件来说是理想的。

5.温流道模具它是热流道模具的一种演变。

在这种模具中，流道而不是流道板被加热。

这是通过电子芯片嵌入探测器实现的。

6.重叠压塑模具重叠压塑注射模具顾名思义。

一个多重两板模具其中的一块板被放在另一块板的上面。

这种结构也可以用在三板模具和热流道模具上。

两板重叠结构使单一的挤压输出量加倍，与一个型腔数量相同的两板模具相比，还减少了一半的合模压力。

这种方式也被叫做“双层模塑”。

2.3.3压膜机1.传统的注塑机在这个流程中，塑料颗粒或粉末被倒入一个机器料斗中，然后被送入加热料筒室。

一个活塞压缩物料，迫使物料渐进地通过加热料筒中物料被分料梭慢慢散开的加热区域。

分料梭被安装在料筒的中心，目的是加速塑料体中心的加热。

分料梭也有可能被加热，以便塑料能够内外一起被加热。

物料从加热料斗流经喷嘴进入模具。

喷嘴是料斗和模具之间的密封装置它被用来阻止因为剩余压力而引起的物料泄露。

模具在注塑机的末端被夹具夹紧闭合。

对于聚苯乙烯而言，机器末端两三吨的压力通常用在之间和流道系统中每个小的投影面积上。

传统的活塞式机器是唯一能生产斑点部分的类型的机器。

另一种类型的注塑机将塑料材料充分地混合，以至于仅有一种颜色被生产出来。

2.柱塞式预塑机这种机器使用了分料梭活塞加热器来预塑塑料颗粒。

塑料颗粒变成熔化状态之后，液态的塑料被倒入一个蓄料室，直到塑料准备好被压入模具。

这种类型的机器比传统的机器生产零件的速度更快，因为在制件冷却的时间中，模具腔被填满进行喷射。

由于注射活塞在流动的物料中工作，因此在压缩颗粒的时候没有压力损失。

这种现象能够应用在带有更多投影面积的大型制件上。

柱塞式预塑机的其他特点与传统的单一活塞式注塑机是一样的。

图2-5举例说明了柱塞式预塑机。

3.螺杆式预塑机在这种注塑机中，用挤压机来塑化塑料物料。

旋转的螺杆使塑料芯块向前，提供给挤压机料筒的加热内壁。

熔融的，塑化的物料从挤压机移动到一个蓄料室，然后通过注射活塞移动到模具中。

螺杆的应用有以下优势：（1）便于物料更好的混合及塑料溶化后的剪切作用；（2）流动物料硬度的范围更广及热敏材料可以流动；（3）能在更短的时间内进行色泽改变；（4）模具制件中的应力更小4.往复式螺杆注塑机这种类型的注塑机使用了一个水平的挤压机来代替加热室。

螺杆的旋转使塑料物料向前移动通过挤压机料筒。

随着物料流经带螺杆的加热料筒，物料从颗粒状态变为塑料熔融状态。

螺杆往复的过程中，传递给模制物料的热量是由螺杆和挤压机的料筒壁之间的摩擦和传导引起的。

当物料向前移动的时候，螺杆返回到在挤压机料筒前方决定物料容量的行程开关处。

在这个时候，与典型挤压机类似的挤压过程结束了。

当物料注射到模具中，螺杆向前移动来转移料筒中的物料。

在这个注塑机中，螺杆既充当活塞，又充当螺杆。

模具中的浇口截面冻结阻止回流之后，螺杆开始旋转并且向后移动，进行下一个周期。

图2-5展示了往复式螺杆注塑机。

这种形式的注塑有几个优点。

它更有效地塑化热敏感材料，由于螺杆的混合作用更快地混合色泽。

给材料加热的文都能够更低，并且整个周期时间可以更短。

第一篇英文原文2.3 Injection Molds2.3.1 Injection MoldingInjection molding is principally used for the production of thermoplastic parts, and it is also one of the oldest. Currently injection-molding accounts for 30% of all plastics resin consumption. Typical injection-molded products are cups, containers, housings, tool handles, knobs, electrical and communication components (such as telephone receivers), toys, and plumbing fittings.Polymer melts have very high viscosities due to their high molecular weights; they cannot be poured directly into a mold under gravity flow as metals can, but must be forced into the mold under high pressure. Therefore while the mechanical properties of a metal casting are predominantly determined by the rate of heat transfer from the mold walls, which determines the grain size and grain orientation in the final casting, in injection molding the high pressure during the injection of the melt produces shear forces that are the primary cause of the final molecular orientation in the material. The mechanical properties of the finished product are therefore affected by both the injection conditions and the cooling conditions within the mold.Injection molding has been applied to thermoplastics and thermosets, foamed parts, and has been modified to yield the reaction injection molding (RIM) process, in which the two components of a thermosetting resin system are simultaneously injected and polymerize rapidly within the mold. Most injection molding is however performed on thermoplastics, and the discussion that follows concentrates on such moldings.A typical injection molding cycle or sequence consists of five phases (see Fig. 2-1):(1) Injection or mold filling;(2) Packing or compression;(3) Holding;(4) Cooling;(5) Part ejection.Fig. 2-1 Injection molding processPlastic pellets (or powder) are loaded into the feed hopper and through an opening in the injection cylinder where they are carried forward by the rotating screw. The rotation of the screw forces the pellets under high pressure against the heated walls of the cylinder causing them to melt. Heating temperatures range from 265 to 500 °F. As the pressure builds up, the rotating screw isforced backward until enough plastic has accumulated to make the shot. The injection ram (or screw) forces molten plastic from the barrel, through the nozzle, sprue and runner system, and finally into the mold cavities. During injection, the mold cavity is filled volumetrically. When the plastic contacts the cold mold surfaces, it solidifies (freezes) rapidly to produce the skin layer. Since the core remains in the molten state, plastic flows through the core to complete mold filling. Typically, the cavity is filled to 95%~98% during injection.Then the molding process is switched over to the packing phase. Even as the cavity is filled, the molten plastic begins to cool. Since the cooling plastic contracts or shrinks, it gives rise to defects such as sink marks, voids, and dimensional instabilities. To compensate for shrinkage, addition plastic is forced into the cavity. Once the cavity is packed, pressure applied to the melt prevents molten plastic inside the cavity from back flowing out through the gate. The pressure must be applied until the gate solidifies. The process can be divided into two steps (packing and holding) or may be encompassed in one step (holding or second stage). During packing, melt forced into the cavity by the packing pressure compensates for shrinkage. With holding, the pressure merely prevents back flow of the polymer melt.After the holding stage is completed, the cooling phase starts. During cooling, the part is held in the mold for specified period. The duration of the cooling phase depends primarily on the material properties and the part thickness. Typically, the part temperature must cool below the material‟s ejection temperature.While cooling the part, the machine plasticates melt for the next cycle. The polymer is subjected to shearing action as well as the condition of the energy from the heater bands. Once the shot is made, plastication ceases. This should occur immediately before the end of the cooling phase. Then the mold opens and the part is ejected.2.3.2 Injection MoldsMolds for injection molding are as varied in design, degree of complexity, and size as are the parts produced from them. The functions of a mold for thermoplastics are basically to impart the desired shape to the plasticized polymer and then to cool the molded part.A mold is made up of two sets of components: (1) the cavities and cores, and (2) the base in which the cavities and cores are mounted. The size and weight of the molded parts limit the number of cavities in the mold and also determine the equipment capacity required. From consideration of the molding process, a mold has to be designed to safely absorb the forces of clamping, injection, and ejection. Also, the design of the gates and runners must allow for efficient flow and uniform filling of the mold cavities.Fig.2-2 illustrates the parts in a typical injection mold. The mold basically consists of two parts: a stationary half (cavity plate), on the side where molten polymer is injected, and a moving half (core plate) on the closing or ejector side of the injection molding equipment. The separating line between the two mold halves is called the parting line. The injected material is transferred through a central feed channel, called the sprue. The sprue is located on the sprue bushing and is tapered to facilitate release of the sprue material from the mold during mold opening. In multicavity molds, the sprue feeds the polymer melt to a runner system, which leads into each mold cavity through a gate.The core plate holds the main core. The purpose of the main core is to establish the inside configuration of the part. The core plate has a backup or support plate. The support plate in turn is supported by pillars against the U-shaped structure known as the ejector housing, which consists ofthe rear clamping plate and spacer blocks. This U-shaped structure, which is bolted to the core plate, provides the space for the ejection stroke also known as the stripper stroke. During solidification the part shrinks around the main core so that when the mold opens, part and sprue are carried along with the moving mold half. Subsequently, the central ejector is activated, causing the ejector plates to move forward so that the ejector pins can push the part off the core. Both mold halves are provided with cooling channels through which cooled water is circulated to absorb the heat delivered to the mold by the hot thermoplastic polymer melt. The mold cavities also incorporate fine vents (0.02 to 0.08 mm by 5 mm) to ensure that no air is trapped during filling.Fig. 2-2 Injection mold1-ejector pin 2-ejector plate 3-guide bush 4-guide pillar 5-ejector base plate6-sprue puller pin 7-push-back pin 8-limit pin 9-guide pillar 10-guide pillar 11-cavity plate12-sprue bushing 13-plastic workpiece 14-coreThere are six basic types of injection molds in use today. They are: (1) two-plate mold; (2) three-plate mold, (3) hot-runner mold; (4) insulated hot-runner mold; (5) hot-manifold mold; and (6) stacked mold. Fig. 2-3 and Fig. 2-4 illustrate these six basic types of injection molds.Fig. 2-3 This illustrates three of the six basic types of injection molding dies(1) Two-plate injection mold (2) Three-plate injection mold (3) Hot-runner mold See Fig. 2-4 for theother three types.Fig. 2-4 This illustrates three of the six basic types of injection molding dies(1) Insulated runner injection mold (2) Hot manifold injection mold (3) Stacked injection mold See Fig. 2-3 for the other three types.1. Two-Plate MoldA two-plate mold consists of two plates with the cavity and cores mounted in either plate. The plates are fastened to the press platens. The moving half of the mold usually contains the ejector mechanism and the runner system. All basic designs for injection molds have this design concept. A two-plate mold is the most logical type of tool to use for parts that require large gates.2. Three-Plate MoldThis type of mold is made up of three plates: (1) the stationary or runner plate is attached to the stationary platen, and usually contains the sprue and half of the runner; (2) the middle plate or cavity plate, which contains half of the runner and gate, is allowed to float when the mold is open; and (3) the movable plate or force plate contains the molded part and the ejector system for the removal of the molded part. When the press starts to open, the middle plate and the movable plate move together, thus releasing the sprue and runner system and degating the molded part. This type of mold design makes it possible to segregate the runner system and the part when the mold opens. The die design makes it possible to use center-pin-point gating.3. Hot-Runner MoldIn this process of injection molding, the runners are kept hot in order to keep the molten plastic in a fluid state at all times. In effect this is a …runnerless‟ molding process and is sometimes called the same. In runnerless molds, the runner is contained in a plate of its own. Hot runner molds are similar to three-plate injection molds, except that the runner section of the mold is not opened during the molding cycle. The heated runner plate is insulated from the rest of the cooled mold. Other than the heated plate for the runner, the remainder of the mold is a standard two-plate die.Runnerless molding has several advantages over conventional sprue runner-type molding. There are no molded side products (gates, runners, or sprues) to be disposed of or reused, and there is no separating of the gate from the part. The cycle time is only as long as is required for the molded part to be cooled and ejected from the mold. In this system, a uniform melt temperature can be attained from the injection cylinder to the mold cavities.4. Insulated Hot-Runner MoldThis is a variation of the hot-runner mold. In this type of molding, the outer surface of the material in the runner acts like an insulator for the melten material to pass through. In the insulated mold, the molding material remains molten by retaining its own heat. Sometimes a torpedo and a hot probe are added for more flexibility. This type of mold is ideal for multicavity center-gated parts.5. Hot-ManifoldThis is a variation of the hot-runner mold. In the hot-manifold die, the runner and not the runner plate is heated. This is done by using an electric-cartridge-insert probe.6. Stacked MoldThe stacked injection mold is just what the name implies. A multiple two-plate mold is placed one on top of the other. This construction can also be used with three-plate molds and hot-runner molds. A stacked two-mold construction doubles the output from a single press and reduces the clamping pressure required to one half, as compared to a mold of the same number of cavities in a two-plate mold. This method is sometimes called “two-level molding”.2.3.3 Mold Machine1. Conventional Injection-Molding MachineIn this process, the plastic granules or pellets are poured into a machine hopper and fed into the chamber of the heating cylinder. A plunger then compresses the material, forcing it through progressively hotter zones of the heating cylinder, where it is spread thin by a torpedo. The torpedo is installed in the center of the cylinder in order to accelerate the heating of the center of the plastic mass. The torpedo may also be heated so that the plastic is heated from the inside as well as from the outside.The material flows from the heating cylinder through a nozzle into the mold. The nozzle is the seal between the cylinder and the mold; it is used to prevent leaking of material caused by the pressure used. The mold is held shut by the clamp end of the machine. For polystyrene, two to three tons of pressure on the clamp end of the machine is generally used for each inch of projected area of the part and runner system. The conventional plunger machine is the only type of machine that can produce a mottle-colored part. The other types of injection machines mix the plastic material so thoroughly that only one color will be produced.2. Piston-Type Preplastifying MachineThis machine employs a torpedo ram heater to preplastify the plastic granules. After the melt stage, the fluid plastic is pushed into a holding chamber until it is ready to be forced into the die. This type of machine produces pieces faster than a conventional machine, because the molding chamber is filled to shot capacity during the cooling time of the part. Due to the fact that the injection plunger is acting on fluid material, no pressure loss is encountered in compacting the granules. This allows for larger parts with more projected area. The remaining features of apiston-type preplastifying machine are identical to the conventional single-plunger injection machine. Fig. 2-5 illustrates a piston or plunger preplastifying injection molding machine.Fig. 2-5 The four basic types of injection molding equipment3. Screw-Type Preplastifying MachineIn this injection-molding machine, an extruder is used to plasticize the plastic material. The turning screw feeds the pellets forward to the heated interior surface of the extruder barrel. The molten, plasticized material moves from the extruder into a holding chamber, and from there is forced into the die by the injection plunger. The use of a screw gives the following advantages: (1) better mixing and shear action of the plastic melt; (2) a broader range of stiffer flow and heatsensitive materials can be run; (3) color changes can be handled in a shorter time, and (4) fewer stresses are obtained in the molded part.4. Reciprocating-Screw Injection MachineThis type of injection molding machine employs a horizontal extruder in place of the heating chamber. The plastic material is moved forward through the extruder barrel by the rotation of a screw. As the material progresses through the heated barrel with the screw, it is changing from the granular condition to the plastic molten state. In the reciprocating screw, the heat delivered to the molding compound is caused by both friction and conduction between the screw and the walls of the barrel of the extruder. As the material moves forward, the screw backs up to a limit switch that determines the volume of material in the front of the extruder barrel. It is at this point that the re- semblance to a typical extruder ends. On the injection of the material into the die, the screw moves forward to displace the material in the barrel. In this machine, the screw performs as a ram as well as a screw. After the gate sections in the mold have frozen to prevent backflow, the screw begins to rotate and moves backward for the next cycle. Fig.2-5 shows a reciprocating-screw injection machine.There are several advantages to this method of injection molding. It more efficiently plasticizes the heat-sensitive materials and blends colors more rapidly, due to the mixing action of the screw. The material heat is usually lower and the overall cycle time is shorter.第二篇译文环保意识的设计和制造ECD＆M研究的问题包括：产品与过程集成与材料选择系统的设计，评估消费者的需求和产品使用的集成模型的发展，处理或回收，改进的方法，工具和对环境危害和成本或效益的风险评估程序，在加工或最终产品的材料，降低对环境的影响替代，在预测特定的政府法规的影响在整个产品生命周期技术的进步，新的或改进的制造过程，和增加的寿命，可以减少环境影响制造新的散装材料和涂料的研制1 能源，材料和资源的关注关于在ECD＆M方法和技术的发展，在过去的十年里有了巨大的增长的研究。
