6、 Please analyze the blue injection molded parts with 16 cavities of hardware and soft glue in Figure 1. During the injection molding process, some are missing glue and some have flash edges, which are the root causes of three people being unable to start production and propose effective improvement measures (only one person)?(6 points)
Answer: This problem is mainly due to the incorrect form of the mold flow channel, and the thin distribution channels and gates at all levels. When the molten material enters the flow channel, it will quickly cool down. Before the molten material fills the mold cavity, the flow channel and gates will freeze and seal in advance, causing some mold cavities to lack glue. A worker needs to peel off the hardware inserts inside the missing glue products. When there is a shortage of glue in the plastic parts, the injection molding technicians are forced to increase the injection speed and pressure to force the molten material into the mold, resulting in the production of burrs. One worker needs to use a nail clipper to process the burrs, while the other worker needs to start the operation, resulting in a total of three workers required for the machine to produce; Secondly, the imbalanced feeding of glue into each cavity of the mold can also cause this phenomenon (some have missing glue and some have flash edges).
Improvement measures:Firstly, change the flow channels at all levels of the mold to circular shapes, and thicken the gate by 0.15mm. Then, balance the feeding of glue into each cavity of the mold. Reduce the injection pressure during injection molding, slow down the end injection speed, and there will be no shortage of glue or flash during injection molding. Only one worker needs to start the machine.
7、 What are the prerequisites for achieving good reproducibility of injection molding process conditions without adjusting the machine during mold transfer production?(8 points)
Answer: The prerequisites for mold transfer without machine adjustment are as follows:
1. Firstly, do a good job in planning and scheduling the injection molding machine, which should be the same as before;
2. The brand and batch of plastic raw materials should be the same as much as possible;
3. The quality of the water outlet material (return material) should be absolutely pure;
4. The particle size of the crushed nozzle material (return material) needs to be uniform and consistent, and its powder needs to be removed;
5. The proportion of added nozzle material (return material) needs to be consistent;
6. The mixing time needs to be consistent;
7. The drying quality of plastic raw materials (water containing materials) should be consistent;
8. The temperature of the molten material should be the same as last time;
9. The mold temperature needs to be the same as last time;
10. The locking force needs to be the same as last time;
11. Other plasticizing parameters and injection molding process conditions need to be the same;
12. The hydraulic oil temperature of the hydraulic injection molding machine should be the same;
13. After sufficient molding, the maintenance work of the injection mold should be done properly.
8、 Why do many injection molding workshops have many problems, high waste, unstable quality, low efficiency, and everyone is busy and tired?(9 points)
Answer:Due to the traditional injection molding concept of "relying on experience to do things and following the problems", there is no systematic thinking and focus on itThe work in various stages does not attach importance to process control, and the personnel in various departments and positions have not done their work properly or well,Accumulation can cause many problems.The specific reasons are as follows:

9. Neglecting the setting, optimization, and control of injection molding process parameters;
10. Inadequate attention is paid to the maintenance of injection molds and injection molding machines (including peripheral equipment);
11. Not valuing the measurement and control of "three temperatures" - melt temperature, mold temperature, and hydraulic oil temperature;
12. The pre job training for personnel in various positions is not in place, and their work abilities and quality are relatively low.
13. The management of the injection molding workshop is not in place, and the job responsibilities of personnel in each position are not clearly defined. A set of scientific, systematic, and comprehensive work processes and standards (work standards) have not been established for the work of personnel in each position;
14. The best way to solve problems without the concept of preventing them from happening and the control of the injection molding process is to avoid any problems.
