Abstract
An injection mold for manufacturing injection-molded parts by injecting injection molding material into a cavity having a contour corresponding to the injection-molded part to be manufactured. The injection mold includes a distribution channel for injection molding material which is connectable to an injection nozzle and is in communicative connection with the cavity. The distribution channel includes a compensating volume region having a volume, determined by the type and number of cavities connected to the distribution channel, for accommodating injection molding material during the injection molding process.
Claims14
An injection mold for manufacturing injection-molded parts by injecting injection molding material into cavities each having a contour substantially corresponding to a respective one of the injection-molded parts to be manufactured, the injection mold comprising:
- a distribution channel for injection molding material which is connectable to an injection nozzle and is in communicative connection with each of the cavities;
- a compensating volume region provided for the distribution channel, the compensating volume region having a compensating volume determined by a type and number of the cavities connected to the distribution channel to accommodate injection molding material during the injection molding process,
- wherein the compensating volume region is branched off of a section of the distribution channel, such that as the injection molding material flows through the section of the distribution channel, a portion of the injection molding material flows into the compensating volume region and is maintained in the compensating volume region, while a remaining portion of the injection molding material continues to flow through the section of the distribution channel.
