Cooling system for compression moulding male element
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240017450A1) describes a male element of a mold for compression molding a parison from a thermoplastic material charge. The male element, when combined with a female element, forms a cavity for shaping the parison. It includes a die with a ducting system for cooling fluid flow, where the die consists of a body with an outer surface and a liner with an inner surface in contact with the body. The ducting system is formed between the body and the liner, with the outer surface of the body grooved to create a hollowed surface that, along with the liner, delimits the ducting system. The ducting system can have multiple grooves and support zones on the body's outer surface, defining a helix for cooling fluid circulation.
Furthermore, the patent application details the configuration of the male element, including a retractable die for forming and stretching the parison, a stretching rod for parison stretching, and a delivery and return duct system for cooling fluid circulation. The male element can be part of a mold with a female element for parison formation and a blow molding cavity for container formation. The mold can switch between forming and stretching configurations based on the male element's association with the female element or the blow molding cavity. The method described involves receiving a thermoplastic material charge in the mold, forming the parison in the cavity using the male and female elements, and circulating cooling fluid through the ducting system. The cooling fluid flows through delivery and return ducts with multiple passages for efficient cooling during the compression molding process.
