Abstract
The object of the present invention is to realize an optimum resin product design even in the event of conducting injection molding of an arbitrary shape resin product, taking into account of the mold clamping force required for molding and the capacity of an available injection molding device. When a resin product to be molded by injection molding is designed, the mold clamping force required for injection molding of the resin product having a specified shape is determined using a computer-aided optimization method and then the design of the resin product is determined based on the thus obtained mold clamping force.
Claims10
A method for obtaining resin product design parameters for use in an event of designing a resin product to be molded by injection molding, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a mold clamping force required for conducting injection molding of a resin product having a specified shape using a computer-aided optimization method;
- and obtaining the design of said resin product based on the thus obtained mold clamping force, and
- in which a process parameter for determining an inflow of a resin material from a plurality of resin inflow conduits connecting with a cavity is used as a variable parameter for determining said mold clamping force,
- wherein said process parameter is a parameter which controls actions of valve gates located at said plurality of resin inflow conduits, and
- wherein resin product design parameters are optimized under the condition where at least one of the valve gates is selected as a timing regulation gate that is restricted by the action of other gates, in order that at least one valve gate is kept open at any given time during filling stage.
