Abstract
To produce sealing plates (1) consisting of a plurality of sealing rings (3) connected by radial webs (2) by injection molding, wall-type guide elements (5) are arranged obliquely to the direction of flow in the mold channel (6) which is therefore initially largely constricted in the region of weld lines (15) formed by the convergence of the fronts of the divided plastic melt streams, said guide elements being moved out of the mold channel (6) during the further filling of same so that the strength is significantly improved in the region of the weld lines (15).
Claims15
A method for producing sealing plates (1) of fiber-reinforced plastic by injection molding consisting of a plurality of sealing rings (3) connected by radial webs (2), wherein wall-type guide elements (5) are arranged obliquely to the direction of flow in the mold channel (6), which is therefore at first largely constricted, in the region of weld lines (15) formed by the convergence of the fronts of divided plastic melt streams, said guide elements deflecting each of the fronts of the melt streams to the side toward the opposing border of the mold channel (6) before they converge and being moved out of the mold channel (6) during the further filling of same.
A mold for production of sealing plates (1) which consist of a plurality of sealing rings (3) connected by radial webs (2), made of fiber-reinforced plastic by injection molding, wherein wall-type guide elements (5) are arranged obliquely to the direction of flow of the melt streams in the mold channel (6), which is thereby largely constricted in the region of weld lines (15) formed by the convergence of the fronts of the divided plastic melt streams, these guide elements being movable between an initial position, in which 1-10%, preferably 4-6%, especially 5% of the mold channel (6) is cleared on both sides and on the bottom 0-20%, preferably 5-15%, especially 10% of the mold channel is cleared at the bottom, and a retraction position in which the end face of the guide element facing the bottom of the mold channel forms a seal with the surrounding mold channel wall or is elevated slightly above it, preferably amounting to 1-10% of the thickness of the sealing plate (1).
