Abstract
The device for the suction of air in injection molds and the subsequent expulsion of molded pieces has a Venturi ejector connected to a first valve, that when the mold is closed causes the suction of air in a mold cavity, having at least one insert made from porous material through which and by means of a communication duct that defines a suction circuit, and a second valve, that after the solidification of the plastic material, causes the air to be blown towards the at least one insert made of porous material, cleaning the at least one insert made of porous material. The volume of air to be reduced in the second part of the injection cycle with the same empirical value of 90% efficiency of the Venturi ejector.
Claims5
A device for the suction of air in injection molds and the subsequent expulsion of molded pieces, comprising
- a Venturi ejector,
- a first valve connected to the Venturi ejector configured to suction air in a mold cavity when the mold is closed thereby initiating an injection cycle,
- a pneumatic double-effect piston in fluid communication with the Venturi ejector and configured to close passage of air in a direction of the Venturi ejector when the first valve is closed;
- at least one insert made from porous material through which and by means of a communication duct defines a suction circuit, said at least one insert is in fluid communication with the pneumatic double-effect piston;
- and
- a second valve in fluid communication with the pneumatic double-effect piston, actuating the pneumatic double-effect piston to blow air towards the at least one insert after the solidification of the plastic material, thereby cleaning said at least one insert made of porous material,
- wherein upon ending the injection cycle, the first valve that causes the suction of air closes, and
- wherein upon expulsion of the mold, the second valve enters into operation by making the double-effect piston actuate, closing a passage in a direction of the Venturi ejector, concentrating a pressure only on cleaning the porous material.
