MOLDING AND SLIDE APPARATUS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017457 titled 'MOLDING AND SLIDE APPARATUS SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a novel mold and slide apparatus system that includes two mold members and a slide apparatus for moving an insert member into and out of an internal cavitation in the first mold member. The slide apparatus consists of a main body with a drive cylinder and a carrier cylinder. A drive piston and a carrier piston are disposed in sealed sliding relation in the drive cylinder and the carrier cylinder, respectively. The insert member is connected to the carrier piston for movement into the internal cavitation. A fluid communication passage interconnects the drive cylinder and the carrier cylinder, filled with hydraulic fluid.
- The system comprises a mold and slide apparatus for inserting and removing an insert member into a mold cavity.
- The slide apparatus consists of a main body with a drive cylinder and a carrier cylinder.
- A drive piston and a carrier piston are used for movement of the insert member.
- The drive piston moves along the drive-cylinder axis, while the carrier piston moves along the carrier-cylinder axis.
- The movement of the drive piston causes the carrier piston to move, and vice versa, through the hydraulic fluid in the fluid communication passage.
- An actuator is used to initiate the movement of the drive piston, which in turn moves the carrier piston and the insert member into the mold cavity.
- A biasing mechanism is provided to return the carrier piston to its retracted position.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Injection molding processes where precise movement of insert members is required.
- Manufacturing processes that involve the use of molds and inserts.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables efficient and controlled movement of insert members into and out of mold cavities.
- Reduces the need for manual handling of insert members during molding operations.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy and precision in the insertion of insert members.
- Increased efficiency and productivity in molding processes.
- Enhanced safety by reducing the need for manual handling of insert members.
Original Abstract Submitted
a novel mold and slide apparatus system comprises at least a first mold member and a second mold member that together define an internal cavitation. a slide apparatus is mounted on the first mold member for moving an insert member into and out of an internal cavitation in the first mold member. the slide apparatus comprises a main body having a drive cylinder defining a drive-cylinder axis and a carrier cylinder defining a carrier-cylinder axis. a drive piston is disposed in sealed sliding relation in the drive cylinder for movement along the drive-cylinder axis between a start position and a fluid displacement position. a carrier piston is disposed in sealed sliding relation in the carrier cylinder for movement along the carrier-cylinder axis between a retracted position and an extended position. the insert member is connected to the carrier piston for movement therewith for engaging the internal cavitation when the carrier piston is in the extended position. a fluid communication passage interconnects the drive cylinder and the carrier cylinder in fluid communication one with the other, with the fluid communication passage filled with hydraulic fluid. movement of the drive piston from its start position to its fluid displacement position causes, via the hydraulic fluid, the carrier piston to move from its retracted position to its extended position. movement of the carrier piston from its extended position to its retracted position causes, via the hydraulic fluid, the drive piston to move from its fluid displacement position to its start position. an actuator is movable between a non-actuating position and an actuating position. movement of the actuator from its non-actuating position to its actuating position causes the drive piston to move from its start position to its fluid displacement position, thereby causing the carrier piston to move from its retracted position and its extended position to correspondingly move the insert member into the internal cavitation during a molding operation. a biasing mechanism is operable to return the carrier piston to the retracted position.
