Definitions
- the invention relates to an externally heated hot runner nozzle and in particular the heating wire thereof.
- Plastic molded parts are produced by injection molding using such a hot runner nozzle.
- the task of the nozzle is to guide the melt from the hot runner beam through the melt channel to the gate. Heat losses that impair the required viscosity of the melt in the melt channel of the nozzle are compensated for by the heating wire wound around the nozzle body in the form of a heating coil. The heating wire thus ensures continued isothermal conditions along the melt channel.
- Such a hot runner nozzle is known and is manufactured by Mold-Masters Ltd. brought on the market.
- the connection between the heating wire and the voltage source is made via relatively large connectors, so-called terminals.
- terminals are very space-intensive, which limits the use of several hot runner nozzles in one module.
- these terminals are susceptible to power interruption, e.g. by burning the heating wire when heating up or while regulating the set temperature at a voltage in the low-voltage range.
- the high temperatures of the heating wire cause undesirable material changes in the area of the connections, since the heating wire is exposed to air there. This leads to embrittlement, which can result in the heating wires breaking.
- the advantage of this invention is that the heating wire only begins to heat on the nozzle body, while a permanently lower temperature is established in the end areas of the heating wire than in the heating area. Because of this, the heat-resistant construction space-intensive terminal can be replaced by a normal connection between the heating wire and the voltage source, which does not have to have any particular heat-resistant properties. Such a simple connection is more space-saving than the previously used terminal, which extends the flexible use of the hot runner nozzle, especially in modular distributors. In addition, a simple connection is less expensive than a complex terminal.
- the omission of the terminal made possible by the invention advantageously means that the nozzle heating can be supplied not only from a normal voltage source, but also from a low-voltage voltage source. This is of great importance because compact nozzles of small sizes are only operated with low voltage, since the heating wire would burn out with such nozzles by applying normal voltage.
- the temperatures of the end areas of the heating wire achieved with this invention are sufficiently low to prevent oxidation of the heating wire at the areas exposed to air.
- the service life of the heating wires according to the invention thus increases considerably.
- the intermediate section of the heating wire can advantageously be brought to temperatures of up to 600 ° C., so that the required fluidity of the melt in the melt channel is ensured.
- the voltage applied to the end regions can be in the low-voltage range, in particular up to 50 V.
- a preferred voltage of 24 V DC voltage allows the heating element to be made more compact and thus the intermediate insulation layer to be thinner without provoking the development of a leakage current.
- a heating conductor made of a chromium-nickel alloy has excellent heating properties. Effective insulation of the heat conductor through which current flows, which prevents or at least reduces leakage current, is effectively achieved by a ceramic, insulating intermediate layer which essentially consists of MgO.
- This insulating intermediate layer is in turn one Metal sheath, which consists of oxidation-resistant steel, in particular stainless steel, surrounded. This ensures sufficient strength and stability of the heating wire.
- the end regions of the heating wire are advantageously arranged in the region of the inlet end of the nozzle and a 180 ° bend of the heating wire in the region of the outlet end. This arrangement of the heating wire is preferred in order to effectively heat the melt channel evenly from the periphery of the nozzle.
- Fig. 1 is a hot runner nozzle in a side view, the right half is not cut and the left half are shown cut, and
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the heating wire according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 the left half of the hot runner nozzle 1 is cut for the purpose of clearly showing the heating wire according to the invention, while the right half shows a top view of the nozzle 1.
- the nozzle 1 shown in Fig. 1 is a small nozzle with an outer diameter of 7 mm to 12 mm. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to such a type of nozzle, but can be applied to any other type of nozzle which is heated with the aid of a heating wire.
- the hot runner nozzle 1 connects the distributor to the gate and the tool behind the gate.
- the melt is fed from the distributor through the melt channel of the nozzle, which tapers in the area of the nozzle tip, to the gate and further into the tool. Due to the half-sectioned representation, the left wall of the melt channel is indicated by dashed lines.
- the half-section illustration of the hot runner nozzle shown in FIG. 1 allows the diameter differences according to the invention of the two end regions 6 and of the intermediate region 7 of the heating wire 2 to be clearly recognized. It is essential to the invention that the outer diameter of the end regions 6, which is dimensioned with 1.5-2.5 mm, is dimensioned larger than the outer diameter of the intermediate region 7, which is dimensioned with 1.0-0.8 mm. Particularly good heating properties are achieved with a heating wire 2 achieved, the end regions 6 have a diameter of 1, 55 mm and the intermediate region 7 have a diameter of 1, 20 mm.
- the heating wire 2 for the purpose of heating the nozzle 1 over its entire length, the heating wire 2, in particular its thick end regions 6, is brought to the nozzle body in the region of the nozzle inlet end 8.
- the heating wire 2 On the circumference of the nozzle body, the heating wire 2 is wound in the form of a spiral toward the outlet end 9 of the nozzle 1.
- the heating wire 2 In the region of the inlet end 8 and the outlet end 9 of the nozzle 1, that is to say in the region of the nozzle flange and nozzle tip, the heating wire 2 is wound more tightly than on the rest of the nozzle body.
- the resulting increased heat supply serves to keep the heat balance in the nozzle flange (nozzle head area) and at the tip of the nozzle against the increased heat losses through contact with the tool and through cooling, e.g. especially in the gate, to stabilize.
- the power converted as heat in the heating wire 2 depends on the current strength, the specific resistance of the heating wire 2 and its length and cross-sectional area. As the cross-sectional area decreases, the power converted as heat increases, as a result of which a higher temperature is established in the corresponding part of the heating wire 2.
- the appropriate selection of the cross-sectional area of the heating wire 2 allows the intermediate region 7 to be brought to a temperature of up to 600 ° C., while a temperature of approximately 120 ° C. is established in the end regions 6. In contrast, in the prior art the temperature of the end regions was approximately between 400 ° C and 500 ° C.
- the power converted into heat also depends on the length of the heating wire 2.
- the temperature difference between the end regions 6 and the intermediate region 7 can also be carried out by setting a suitable heating wire length.
- the connection between the end regions 6 of the heating wire 2 and the electrical conductors of the voltage source are not shown in the figures. However, it goes without saying that any electrical connection between the heating wire 2 and the voltage source can be used, the end regions 6, due to their relatively large cross sections, making it possible in particular to use connections which are designed for low temperature ranges.
- the temperature of approximately 120 ° C. of the end regions 6 of the heating wire 2 thus makes it possible to dispense with the terminal.
- the use of the terminal has hitherto been unavoidable in order to permanently connect the end regions 6, which due to their relatively small cross-section have a temperature of approximately 400-500 ° C., to the electrical lines of the power supply. It is only with the aid of the end regions with a larger diameter that it is possible, owing to the low temperature that then arises, to use conventional connections to establish the contact between the power supply and the heating wire 2. These conventional connections allow a mechanically firm connection of the electrical lines without having to take special temperature conditions into account.
- the invention can also be applied to a heating wire with one end, the other end of which is grounded at the tip of the nozzle.
- the section of the nozzle shown in FIG. 1 shows that the heating wire 2 is in direct contact with the nozzle 1.
- the heating wire 2 is located in a receiving channel, the connection between the heating wire 2 and the channel wall being made by brazing. This creates optimal conditions for the heat transfer between the heating wire 2 and the nozzle body.
- a heating wire is shown in cross section. It can be clearly seen that the electrical heating conductor 3 is surrounded by the insulating intermediate layer 4 and the metal jacket.
- the thickness of the insulating intermediate layer consisting of MgO or a similar ceramic material is decisive for the prevention or reduction of a leakage current which lowers the efficiency of the heating wire 2.
- the intermediate section 7 of the heating wire 2 particular care must be taken to ensure that the reduction in the cross section does not affect the insulation effect of the intermediate layer, which is ensured by the claimed diameter ranges.
