A tandem mold for creating injection-molded parts from synthetic material includes a first part (2), a second part (4), a third part (6), and a guide (20, 22, 26, 28). A first parting surface is defined between the first part (2) and the third part (6), and a second parting surface is defined between the second part (4) and the third part (6). The mold also includes, for each parting surface, at least one mechanical stop (44) that is movable between a first position, where said stop prevents a drive mechanism from reaching the closed position of the mold, and a second position, or retracted position, where the mold can reach its closed position.

An injection molding apparatus includes a first upstream mold having a first gate opening into which a first molding material flows, a second upstream mold having a second gate opening into which a second molding material flows, a first injection unit injecting the first material through the first gate opening, a second injection unit injecting the second material through the second gate opening, and a downstream mold clampable with each of the first and second upstream molds. The second material is injected by the second injection unit after the first material is injected by the first injection unit. The second gate opening is separated further from the downstream mold than the first gate opening, and a volume of a second cavity partitioned by the second upstream mold and the downstream mold is larger than that of a first cavity partitioned by the first upstream mold and the downstream mold.

An injection mould comprises first and second relatively movable mould halves defining at least one mould cavity between them, a first of the halves having a sprue through which moulding material is injected, a runner leading from the sprue to at least one gate into the or each mould cavity. The mould is characterised in that, when the mould halves are engaged one with the other, an insert projects from one mould half into a corresponding recess in the other mould half at a position corresponding to the or each gate into the mould cavity, the insert having a cutting groove extending therealong opening into an end face of the insert, the end face being in communication with the sprue and the opposite end of the groove being in communication with the gate, the groove thereby constituting at least a part of the runner, the groove extending at an acute angle to the relative direction of movement of the mould halves whereby, as the mould halves are separated, a cutting edge of the groove travels across the gate to shear the material in the gate.

Provided are an injection mold including a cooling channel through which a cooling fluid flows, and a method of manufacturing the same. The injection mold includes: a core comprising a first core configured to form a cavity corresponding to a shape of an injection object and a second core separably coupled to the first core; and a cooling channel communicating with an outside of the core and comprising a first cooling channel horizontally provided in the core to guide flow of a cooling fluid for cooling the core and a second cooling channel vertically provided in the core while crossing the first cooling channel, wherein the second cooling channel includes: a sub-cooling channel communicating with the first cooling channel; and a main cooling channel overlapping the sub-cooling channel.

The invention discloses a plastic faucet body and a molding tool thereof. The faucet body includes a left water inlet pipe (1) and a right water inlet pipe (2), wherein a left valve seat installation recess (11) is formed in the left water inlet pipe (1) and a right valve seat installation recess (21) is formed in the right water inlet pipe (2). A connecting cross-beam (3) is disposed between the left water inlet pipe (1) and the right water inlet pipe (2), wherein the connecting cross-beam (3) is provided with a water outlet (31) and a middle water channel is formed within the connecting cross-beam (3). The middle water channel includes a left water inlet channel (32) and a right water inlet channel (33), wherein the left water inlet pipe (1) and the water outlet (31) are connected with the left water inlet channel (32), and the right water inlet pipe (2) and the water outlet (31) are connected with the right water inlet channel (33), and the left water inlet channel (32) and the right water inlet channel are arc-shaped or U-shaped. The invention also discloses a molding tool of the plastic faucet. The faucet has good sealing performance and the plastic faucet body is integrally molded, such that the manufacturing process is simplified and the cost is reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

The present invention enables a reference surface member to reliably contact a side surface of a recess of a molding die, and is directed to a conveyance apparatus that conveys an object to be molded to a molding die in which a recess is formed on a side of a mold surface on which the object to be molded is placed, the conveyance apparatus including: a position reference mechanism having a reference surface serving as a positioning reference of the object to be molded placed on the molding die; and an object-to-be-molded moving mechanism that moves the object to be molded placed on the molding die toward the reference surface.

An assembly method and a structure of a control device are introduced. The control device includes a head and a body. The head includes a stopping portion, and the body includes a corresponding stopping portion. The head is movably assembled with the body upon pressurizing the head or the body by an external force. Thus, the head and the body can be quickly assembled into a control device, while achieving effects of easy assembly and better stability after the assembly.

The present invention molds, with simple processes, a tube which has a smaller outer diameter and is hardly bent in a folded manner. The present invention includes (i) a primary molding step of forming a primary molded body by carrying out resin molding while a reinforcing member and a core pin (4) are placed in a cavity of a first mold made up of a lower mold (30) and an upper mold (40) for primary molding and (ii) a secondary molding step of covering the reinforcing member by carrying out resin molding while the primary molded body is placed in a cavity of a second mold that has an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of the cavity of the first mold.

An injection molding method includes the steps of positioning a core piece in a mold cavity through a plurality of positioning pins; injecting a molten plastic material into the mold cavity to surround and cover the core piece; maintaining the pressure inside the mold cavity at a predetermined maintaining time so that the core piece is positioned by the molten plastic material; retracting the positioning pins from the mold cavity when a predetermined retraction time is reached, so that spaces occupied by the positioning pins in the mold cavity can be filled with the molten plastic material; and completely curing the molten plastic material to form a finished product.

A plastic component is provided that leads to an initial friction reduction with a friction partner. At least part of the surface of the plastic component, which interacts with a surface of a friction partner, is provided with a plurality of structures. The structures are composed of at least one structure type. Between two adjacent structure types, a distance is formed in the range of 10 microns to 1 mm. A width of the structure types is in the range of 10 microns to 100 microns. A height or depth of the structure types is in the range from 1 micron to 100 microns.
