Abstract

Injection molding product is commonly used for reducing the weight of automotive vehicle, and door regulator guide rail with plastic material is also made by injection molding process. In order to improve the injection molding performance of plastic regulator guide rail, optimal molding condition is suggested by numerical simulation and DOE after obtaining the sensitivity of parameters for regulator rail manufacturing on warpage and fill time. Furthermore, multi direct gate method and optimal cooling circuit are introduced to get the uniform temperature distribution and better cooling efficiency in molding product. The effect of the proposed design on the injection molding performance is verified by the test of prototype of plastic regulator guide rail.

플라스틱 소재를 사용한 사출성형부품은 차량 경량화뿐만 아니라 충격흡수를 통한 운전자와 보행자 보호, 제품 디자인의 자율성등의 우수한 장점을 가지고 있어 그 사용량이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 유리섬유함유 플라스틱재료를 이용한 레귤레이터 레일의 사출성형시 불량률최소화를 위해 유한요소해석과 실험계획법을 사용하여 성형공정중의 휨변형량(warpage)과 수축변형를 최소화할 수 있는 최적의 성형조건을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 유리섬유의 유동성과 냉각효율의 확보를 위해 최적의 게이트 및 런너방식을 설정한다. 사출금형을 제작하여 제품을 성형제작한 후 휨변형등의 성능확인을 통해 해석방법의 유효성과 최적화의 실효성을 확인하고자 한다.
