Abstract
A valve-type nozzle is provided for use in hot runner systems through which a plastic material melt is fed under high pressure to a separable and coolable tool having at least one mould cavity for injection-moulded items. The nozzle is heatable and comprises at least one needle valve supported by sliding guides within the nozzle, the arrangement being such that the melt fed through a material pipe passes around at least a lower section of the needle valve. The nozzle further comprises upstream of the mould cavity in a antechamber at least one outlet adapted to receive a closely fitting needle end. The needle valve includes, in the lower section upstream of the needle end, a pressure-relief means that is in direct flow-connection with the antechamber. The pressure-relief means comprises in a guide piece at least one branch-off bore that runs radially at an angle of 90° to the longitudinal direction of the needle valve.
Description
Gianther Heisskanaltechnik GmbH, 35066 Frankenberg Valve-type Nozzle Specification The present invention relates to a valve-type nozzle.
fn injection moulds, such nozzles are installed with hot runner systems through which a plastic material melt is fed at a temperature of e.g. 200 °C under high pressure to a separable tool block that has a mould cavity and can be cooled so that the injection-moulded item will quickly solidify. Depending on the material, nonuniformities such as "cold slugs" or stress-loaded areas may develop at the gate because of the abrupt temperature transition and owing to possible flow obstructions.
Furthermore, very accurate dosing of material is important and has to be warranted even with rapid succession of shots, especially for products of small dimensions. In valve-type nozzles, a usually conical tip of a generally piston-driven needle valve is employed to open and close a gate opening periodically. Since extremely high pressures of e.g. far more than 1,000 bars are effective, precise sealing in the closed position is just as necessary as exact guidance of the needle valve.
The aforementioned publication describes, in particular, a positively controlled needle valve for injection nozzles wherein piston guides for needle valves are provided above a distributor or manifold plate penetrated by these; underneath said distributor, the needle valves are supported in sliding guides. Feeding channels below lead into a hot runner for a melt coming from the distributor, which flows round each needle valve and out of the hot runner so long as a needle-valve end journal will not seal a closing piece (a gate ring).
Later on, special needle sections were proposed, e.g. according to DE 197 17 A1, a projection or triangular bevels adjacent the needle tip. Relatively difficult to produce are radial webs provided at the lower end of the nozzle or needle sleeve, respectively, which enclose the needle valve concentrically. For a nozzle with internal heating in the upper part, EP 0 781 640 A2 provides a guide head that is integral with the needle valve, slides into an externally heated bushing and has inclined material outlets.
According to DE 32 45 571 A1, there is in the area of the needle tip a precentering body which has radial passages. However, owing to its close fit in a heat-conducting nozzle, heat losses occur that are particularly undesirable near the gate. EP
346 B1 provides lips that partially enclose the needle valve and leave only a lateral longitudinal channel open for feeding material. According to DE 296 09 356 U1, such a feed channel may be designed as an inclined needle-valve recess that passes over to a narrow centric channel on which a narrow circumferential slot forms a material outlet for injection moulding of very flat items from their narrow side.
The known arrangements have in common that, in spite of considerable mechanical design efforts, reliable guidance of the needle valve is not always guaranteed under high injection pressures. Eccentric loads will not only cause a high degree of wear, but also provoke flow irregularities in the molten material whereby the quality of finished products may be degraded.
It is an important object of the invention to overcome these and other disadvantages of the prior art by simple means and to produce an improved valve-type nozzle in which an off-balance flow load is avoided and perfect needle guidance is warranted.
It is another object of the invention to apply its design principle to positively controlled valve-type nozzles as well as to individual nozzles provided with needle valves that are piston-driven either directly or via shift levers.

According to DE 296 09 356 U1, such a feed channel may be designed as an inclined needle-valve recess that passes over to a narrow centric channel on which a narrow circumferential slot forms a material outlet for injection moulding of very flat items from their narrow side.
The known arrangements have in common that, in spite of considerable mechanical design efforts, reliable guidance of the needle valve is not always guaranteed under high injection pressures. Eccentric loads will not only cause a high degree of wear, but also provoke flow irregularities in the molten material whereby the quality of finished products may be degraded.
It is an important object of the invention to overcome these and other disadvantages of the prior art by simple means and to produce an improved valve-type nozzle in which an off-balance flow load is avoided and perfect needle guidance is warranted.
It is another object of the invention to apply its design principle to positively controlled valve-type nozzles as well as to individual nozzles provided with needle valves that are piston-driven either directly or via shift levers.
In a valve-type nozzle as mentioned initially for hot runner systems through which a plastic material melt is fed under high pressure to a separable and coolable tool having at least one mould cavity for injection-moulded items, which nozzle is heatable and comprises at least one needle valve supported by sliding guides within the nozzle, the arrangement being such that the melt fed through a material pipe passes around at least a lower section of the needle valve, and further comprising upstream of a mould cavity in an antechamber at least one outlet adapted to receive a closely fitting needle, the invention provides that the needle valve includes, in a lower section upstream of the needle end, pressure-relief means in direct flow-connection with the antechamber. Therefore, as the needle end enters the outlet during the closing phase and the melt mass present in the antechamber is inevitably displaced, the resulting material compression and pressure boost will automatically even out.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a valve nozzle for connection to a separable and coolable tool having at least one mold cavity (K) for forming injection-molded items, said nozzle formed of heatable material and comprising: a material pipe through which a plastic material melt is fed under high pressure; a needle valve; and sliding guides within the nozzle supporting said needle valve, said needle valve having a lower section adapted to permit the melt fed through said material pipe to pass around at least said lower section of the needle valve; said nozzle having an antechamber upstream of the mold cavity (K); an end piece of said lower section received in a closely fitting outlet of said antechamber;
said antechamber being in direct flow-connection with a pressure-relief means in a portion of said lower section upstream of the end piece, wherein a guide piece includes a branch-off bore of said pressure-relief means, said branch-off bore having an angle (W) relative to a longitudinal direction (L) of said needle valve.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the pressure-relief means comprises in a guide piece at least one branch-off bore that runs e.g. radially to the longitudinal direction of the needle, at any rate at an angle which in accordance with another feature of the invention is smaller than or equal to 90°. In particular, according to a further feature, the or any branch-off bore may extend through the guide piece in a transverse or inclined direction. It will be recognized that such pressure relief means can be produced with a minimum of manufacturing effort.
The same applies if optionally or additionally there is, according to still another feature, in the lower section of the material pipe and in a transverse or inclined direction thereto, at least one branch-off bore an end of which opens exactly into a top zone of a free space that leads to the antechamber and is provided between the material pipe and a mouthpiece. This bore will permit or assist melt flushing and will also contribute to the pressure relief in the antechamber. In order to obtain a pressure distribution as uniform as possible, another aspect of the present invention provides a group of bores at the periphery of the material pipe and/or of the guide piece, advantageously in a radial or star-type array.
Still another feature of the invention provides in the nozzle a two-stage centering device for the or any needle valve, whereby secure fit at the valve seat is guaranteed, -4a-particular, according to yet another aspect precentering means for the needle valve serve to pilot it towards the sealing face so that wear which cannot be totally avoided under heavy material load will be reduced to an absolute minimum. For this purpose, the lower needle section may, according to still another feature of the invention have at least one taper or shoulder to be introduced in a self-centering manner into a matching internal profile of a guide piece associated to the material pipe. Although it has been known from DE 38 33 220 C2 to use, in addition to a sealed upper piston guide, a double cone at the needle tip as a lower precentering device; but in the conventional design, no pressure relief at all from the antechamber is provided so that a large pressure boost will occur each time the needle valve moves into its closing position. According to the present invention, however, pressure relief will always subsequently be effected via a gap between the needle valve and the mouthpiece.
According to still another aspect of the invention the shaft of the needle is advantageously arranged above an upper taper or shoulder in an upper guide by which it is slidably enclosed. Optionally or in addition, a smaller diameter shaft portion of the needle may, by yet another aspect of the invention be shiftable with close fit in a lower guide located above a lower taper.
In line with still other concepts of the invention the guide piece may advantageously have two transverse bores arranged at an axial distance, which bores can be arranged at an angle to each other, in particular at right angles and staggered in height. By extremely simple means, this arrangement will thus warrant pressure relief under specially favourable flow conditions.
-4b-Further features, details and advantages of the invention will be evident from the wording of the claims as well as from the following description of embodiment examples by way of the drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is an enlarged axial section view of the lower end of a valve-type nozzle, Fig. 2 is a similar axial section view of a different nozzle design, Fig. 3 is a simplified axial section view of a valve-type nozzle in an open position and Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to Fig 3, but in a closed position.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a valve nozzle for connection to a separable and coolable tool having at least one mold cavity (K) for forming injection-molded items, said nozzle formed of heatable material and comprising: a material pipe through which a plastic material melt is fed under high pressure; a needle valve; and sliding guides within the nozzle supporting said needle valve, said needle valve having a lower section adapted to permit the melt fed through said material pipe to pass around at least said lower section of the needle valve; said nozzle having an antechamber upstream of the mold cavity (K); an end piece of said lower section received in a closely fitting outlet of said antechamber;
said antechamber being in direct flow-connection with a pressure-relief means in a portion of said lower section upstream of the end piece, wherein a guide piece includes a branch-off bore of said pressure-relief means, said branch-off bore having an angle (W) relative to a longitudinal direction (L) of said needle valve.

By extremely simple means, this arrangement will thus warrant pressure relief under specially favourable flow conditions.
-4b-Further features, details and advantages of the invention will be evident from the wording of the claims as well as from the following description of embodiment examples by way of the drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is an enlarged axial section view of the lower end of a valve-type nozzle, Fig. 2 is a similar axial section view of a different nozzle design, Fig. 3 is a simplified axial section view of a valve-type nozzle in an open position and Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to Fig 3, but in a closed position.
Fig. 1 shows the lower part of a valve-type nozzle generally designated by 10 including, within a nozzle body 12, a material pipe 14 with an external heating device which is designed as a heater coil 16 in the example shown. A retainer ring 15 ensures the correct position of the heating device on the material pipe 14 whose lower end is screwed to a mouthpiece or guide piece 40 having an outlet 18 at its lower end.
Centrally in the material pipe 14, there is a needle valve 20 whose lower section 22 has an end piece 24, e.g. a plug or pin, that sealingly fits a valve seat 26 when the needle valve 20 is in its down position. A lower guide 28 ensures an exactly concentric position of the end piece 24 that is adjustable by the height of the needle stroke h between an open position indicated by continuous lines and a closed position indicated by dash-and-dot lines. In the embodiment shown, the lower guide 28 comprises three radial webs which enclose the end piece 24 concentrically, though in a slidable manner.
Below the nozzle body 12 an insulating gap 48 is provided that in this embodiment is partly taken up by a filling body 50 of high-temperature resistance. A bush 60 confines a antechamber 30 and has a flow outlet 58 at a tool contact surface 56.
As the needle 20 moves downward after the injection process, the melt in the antechamber 30 will be exposed to high pressure by the displacement volume of the end piece 24. In order that the mass can evade, the guide piece 40 is provided with at least one branch-off bore 32 whose outer end leads exactly into the top region of a free space or recess 33 provided between the material pipe 14 and the mouthpiece 40. Thus the bore 32 will cause or at least assist a flushing effect for the melt and will, in addition, provide pressure relief in the antechamber 30.
The branch-off bore 32 or a group of branch-off bores 32, respectively, is preferably located at an angle W of e.g. 45° to the axis or longitudinal direction L of the needle valve 20. Distributed over the circumference, e.g. three or four of such branch-off bores 32 may be provided in order to achieve uniform pressure distribution. A
close fit 45 between the lower ends of nozzle body 12 and of material pipe 14 is important.
For this purpose, the recess 33 is advantageously designed so that the injection pressure will increase the sealing effect by allowing resilient expansion of the bottom end of material pipe 14. The insulating gap 48 provided below and the filling body 50 serve to minimize heat losses between the heated material pipe 14 and the antechamber bush 60 as well as the tool, respectively.
The construction shown in Fig. 2 is generally similar. For supporting the material pipe 14, a titanium ring 52 is provided. Its low heat conductivity and insulating gaps substantially contribute to minimizing heat flow out towards the antechamber bush 60. A tight fit of ring 52 to the tool contact face 56 is ensured by a recess or undercut 51 therein (Fig. 2). It will be noted that the branch-off bores 32 in the guide piece 40 are arranged symmetrically opposite each other.
With a basically comparable design, the embodiment represented in Figs. 3 and shows (if simplified) at the guide piece 40 an upper transverse bore 32 and a lower transverse bore 34 at an axial distance and at right angles to each other. The titanium ring 52 may be provided with peripheral grooves in order to reduce the contact surface and, consequently, heat dissipation towards the casing.
Furthermore, the lower section 22 of needle valve 20 is tapered by two steps.
It will be seen that an upper taper or shoulder 46 is joined by a shaft piece 44 of smaller diameter. A transition from a lower taper or shoulder 36 is followed by the cylindrical end piece or pin 24. Here, guide piece 40 is provided with a matching internal profile 42 at its lower end. When moving down from the open position (Fig. 3), needle valve 20 is first prethreaded or guided by its upper shoulder 46 in a cone-shaped area of the internal profile 42 at the level of bore 32. As the closing operation progresses, the lower shoulder 36 will self-center at lower guide 28 so that pin 24 fits exactly into the valve seat 26. The lower guide 28 is designed with very close fit so that pressure-tight sealing is achieved in the closed valve position. Molten material present under high pressure in the antechamber 30 will be automatically relieved via the bores 32, 34. (In this connection be it remarked that the arrangement of guide piece 40 and needle valve 20 is shown in Fig. 4 offset or swivelled by 90° as against Fig. 3.) In addition, Fig. 4 indicates a mould cavity K provided in the tool (not shown) for receiving the melt that solidifies to become a plastic material item.
It will be realized that in the embodiments of Figs. 3 and 4, the needle valve 20 is guided by two steps towards the transfer opening 58 to the tool so that the lower needle section 22 is precisely threaded first into upper guide 38 and then into lower _7_ guide 28. Therefore, the needle end 22 will penetrate into the valve seat 26 practically without any abrasion or wear. The sealing end seat 26, 58 may be cylindrical or conical as required. Its immersion depth t (Fig. 4) may for example be between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm.
Because of the two-step bottom guide centering, the invention dispenses with conventional guides formerly provided in more upward or inward nozzle portions, despite the extremely high melt pressure. The upper guide 38 is, in fact, a precentering device that still permits some clearance, e.g. 0.2 mm in diameter. The guide piece 40 may be provided with this upper guide 38 already during manufacture, without any subsequent reworking. Once the guide piece 40 has been screwed into the material pipe 14, the lower guide 28 can be fine-ground concentrically to the material pipe 14 so that the shaft part 44 together with the lower taper 36 and the end piece or pin 24, respectively, are led to and into the transfer opening 58 of the tool essentially free of play. This fact greatly contributes to long service life and reliable operation.
The invention is not limited to any of the embodiments described herein, but is apt to be modified in many ways. In particular it is also applicable to cold runner devices wherein the material pipe is cooled and the tool is heated. The term melt is, therefore, understood here to also comprise cold fluid masses that solidify under heat, e.g. of an endothermic reaction. However, it will be noted that a preferred valve-type nozzle 10 for hot runner systems, through which a plastic material melt is fed to a separable and coolable tool that has at least one mould cavity K for injection-moulded items, includes according to the invention at least one slidably supported needle valve 20 which valve may be flooded at least in a lower zone by the melt advanced through a material pipe 14. A needle end piece or pin 24 is adapted to be introduced with close fit into an outlet 18 arranged in front of a mould cavity K in a antechamber 30, sealing taking place at a valve seat 26 of e.g.
cylindrical or conical shape.
Above and upstream of the valve seat 26, there is a pressure-relief device 32, that is directly flow-connected to the antechamber 30 and comprises e.g. at least one branch-off bore 32 at a guide piece 40, running at an angle W to the longitudinal direction L of the needle. Optionally or in addition, the lower section 22 of the material pipe 14 may comprise at least one branch-off bore 34 leading to the antechamber _$_ 30, e.g. by way of a star-shaped group of bores 32, 34 at the circumference of the material pipe 14 and/or of the guide piece 40. The latter may advantageously be provided with two transverse bores 32, 34 arranged at an axial distance, i.e.
vertically staggered, and in particular located at right angles to each other. The upper bore 32 permits pressure relief towards the thicker needle section (22) at the upper guide 38;
the lower bore 34 provides pressure relief between the valve seat 26 at the mouthpiece 40 and the needle shoulder 36.
Furthermore it is important that the needle valve 20 is adapted to be introduced into its seat 26 in a precentered manner. For this purpose, the lower needle section 22 is provided with at least one taper or shoulder 36 for entering in a self-centering manner into the mating internal profile 42 of the guide piece 40 provided at the material pipe 14. The shaft of the needle 20 is preferably precentered in the upper guide 38, and a thin shaft section 44 tightly but slidably enclosed by the lower guide 28.
All and any of the features and advantages of the invention, inclusive of design details, spatial arrangements and procedural steps as evident from the claims, from the specification and/or from the drawings may be inventionally substantial both per se and in most variegated combinations.

A lower guide 28 ensures an exactly concentric position of the end piece 24 that is adjustable by the height of the needle stroke h between an open position indicated by continuous lines and a closed position indicated by dash-and-dot lines. In the embodiment shown, the lower guide 28 comprises three radial webs which enclose the end piece 24 concentrically, though in a slidable manner.
Below the nozzle body 12 an insulating gap 48 is provided that in this embodiment is partly taken up by a filling body 50 of high-temperature resistance. A bush 60 confines a antechamber 30 and has a flow outlet 58 at a tool contact surface 56.
As the needle 20 moves downward after the injection process, the melt in the antechamber 30 will be exposed to high pressure by the displacement volume of the end piece 24. In order that the mass can evade, the guide piece 40 is provided with at least one branch-off bore 32 whose outer end leads exactly into the top region of a free space or recess 33 provided between the material pipe 14 and the mouthpiece 40. Thus the bore 32 will cause or at least assist a flushing effect for the melt and will, in addition, provide pressure relief in the antechamber 30.
The branch-off bore 32 or a group of branch-off bores 32, respectively, is preferably located at an angle W of e.g. 45° to the axis or longitudinal direction L of the needle valve 20. Distributed over the circumference, e.g. three or four of such branch-off bores 32 may be provided in order to achieve uniform pressure distribution. A
close fit 45 between the lower ends of nozzle body 12 and of material pipe 14 is important.
For this purpose, the recess 33 is advantageously designed so that the injection pressure will increase the sealing effect by allowing resilient expansion of the bottom end of material pipe 14. The insulating gap 48 provided below and the filling body 50 serve to minimize heat losses between the heated material pipe 14 and the antechamber bush 60 as well as the tool, respectively.
The construction shown in Fig. 2 is generally similar. For supporting the material pipe 14, a titanium ring 52 is provided. Its low heat conductivity and insulating gaps substantially contribute to minimizing heat flow out towards the antechamber bush 60. A tight fit of ring 52 to the tool contact face 56 is ensured by a recess or undercut 51 therein (Fig. 2). It will be noted that the branch-off bores 32 in the guide piece 40 are arranged symmetrically opposite each other.
With a basically comparable design, the embodiment represented in Figs. 3 and shows (if simplified) at the guide piece 40 an upper transverse bore 32 and a lower transverse bore 34 at an axial distance and at right angles to each other. The titanium ring 52 may be provided with peripheral grooves in order to reduce the contact surface and, consequently, heat dissipation towards the casing.
Furthermore, the lower section 22 of needle valve 20 is tapered by two steps.
It will be seen that an upper taper or shoulder 46 is joined by a shaft piece 44 of smaller diameter. A transition from a lower taper or shoulder 36 is followed by the cylindrical end piece or pin 24. Here, guide piece 40 is provided with a matching internal profile 42 at its lower end. When moving down from the open position (Fig. 3), needle valve 20 is first prethreaded or guided by its upper shoulder 46 in a cone-shaped area of the internal profile 42 at the level of bore 32. As the closing operation progresses, the lower shoulder 36 will self-center at lower guide 28 so that pin 24 fits exactly into the valve seat 26. The lower guide 28 is designed with very close fit so that pressure-tight sealing is achieved in the closed valve position. Molten material present under high pressure in the antechamber 30 will be automatically relieved via the bores 32, 34. (In this connection be it remarked that the arrangement of guide piece 40 and needle valve 20 is shown in Fig. 4 offset or swivelled by 90° as against Fig. 3.) In addition, Fig. 4 indicates a mould cavity K provided in the tool (not shown) for receiving the melt that solidifies to become a plastic material item.
It will be realized that in the embodiments of Figs. 3 and 4, the needle valve 20 is guided by two steps towards the transfer opening 58 to the tool so that the lower needle section 22 is precisely threaded first into upper guide 38 and then into lower _7_ guide 28. Therefore, the needle end 22 will penetrate into the valve seat 26 practically without any abrasion or wear. The sealing end seat 26, 58 may be cylindrical or conical as required. Its immersion depth t (Fig. 4) may for example be between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm.
Because of the two-step bottom guide centering, the invention dispenses with conventional guides formerly provided in more upward or inward nozzle portions, despite the extremely high melt pressure. The upper guide 38 is, in fact, a precentering device that still permits some clearance, e.g. 0.2 mm in diameter. The guide piece 40 may be provided with this upper guide 38 already during manufacture, without any subsequent reworking. Once the guide piece 40 has been screwed into the material pipe 14, the lower guide 28 can be fine-ground concentrically to the material pipe 14 so that the shaft part 44 together with the lower taper 36 and the end piece or pin 24, respectively, are led to and into the transfer opening 58 of the tool essentially free of play. This fact greatly contributes to long service life and reliable operation.
The invention is not limited to any of the embodiments described herein, but is apt to be modified in many ways. In particular it is also applicable to cold runner devices wherein the material pipe is cooled and the tool is heated. The term melt is, therefore, understood here to also comprise cold fluid masses that solidify under heat, e.g. of an endothermic reaction. However, it will be noted that a preferred valve-type nozzle 10 for hot runner systems, through which a plastic material melt is fed to a separable and coolable tool that has at least one mould cavity K for injection-moulded items, includes according to the invention at least one slidably supported needle valve 20 which valve may be flooded at least in a lower zone by the melt advanced through a material pipe 14. A needle end piece or pin 24 is adapted to be introduced with close fit into an outlet 18 arranged in front of a mould cavity K in a antechamber 30, sealing taking place at a valve seat 26 of e.g.
cylindrical or conical shape.
Above and upstream of the valve seat 26, there is a pressure-relief device 32, that is directly flow-connected to the antechamber 30 and comprises e.g. at least one branch-off bore 32 at a guide piece 40, running at an angle W to the longitudinal direction L of the needle. Optionally or in addition, the lower section 22 of the material pipe 14 may comprise at least one branch-off bore 34 leading to the antechamber _$_ 30, e.g. by way of a star-shaped group of bores 32, 34 at the circumference of the material pipe 14 and/or of the guide piece 40. The latter may advantageously be provided with two transverse bores 32, 34 arranged at an axial distance, i.e.
vertically staggered, and in particular located at right angles to each other. The upper bore 32 permits pressure relief towards the thicker needle section (22) at the upper guide 38;
the lower bore 34 provides pressure relief between the valve seat 26 at the mouthpiece 40 and the needle shoulder 36.
Furthermore it is important that the needle valve 20 is adapted to be introduced into its seat 26 in a precentered manner. For this purpose, the lower needle section 22 is provided with at least one taper or shoulder 36 for entering in a self-centering manner into the mating internal profile 42 of the guide piece 40 provided at the material pipe 14. The shaft of the needle 20 is preferably precentered in the upper guide 38, and a thin shaft section 44 tightly but slidably enclosed by the lower guide 28.
All and any of the features and advantages of the invention, inclusive of design details, spatial arrangements and procedural steps as evident from the claims, from the specification and/or from the drawings may be inventionally substantial both per se and in most variegated combinations.
