Abstract: This paper deals with a methodology for single gate lo cation optimization for plastic injection mold. The objective of the gate optimization is to minimize the warpage of injection molded parts, because warpage is a crucial quality issue for most injection molded parts while it is influenced greatly by the gate location. Feature warpage is defined as the ratio of maximum displacement on the feature surface to the projected length of the feature surface to describe part warpage. The optimization is combined with the numerical simulation technology to find the optimal gate location, in which the simulated annealing algorithm is used to search for the optimum. Finally, an example is discussed in the paper and it can be concluded that the proposed method is effective.

INTRODUCTION
Plastic injection molding is a widely used, complex but highly efficient technique for producing a large variety of plastic products, particularly those with high production requirement, tight tolerance, and complex shapes. The quality of injection molded parts is a function of plastic material, part geometry, mold structure and process conditions. The most important part of an injection mold basically is the following three sets of components: cavities, gates and runners, and cooling system.
Lam and Seow (2000) and Jin and Lam (2002) achieved cavity balancing by varying the wall thickness of the part. A balance filling process within the cavity gives an evenly distributed pressure and temperature which can drastically reduce the warpage of the part. But the cavity balancing is only one of the important influencing factors of part qualities. Especially, the part has its functional requirements, and its thicknesses should not be varied usually.
From the point view of the injection mold design, a gate is characterized by its size and location, and the runner system by the size and layout. The gate size and runner layout are usually determined as constants. Relatively, gate locations and runner sizes are more flexible, which can be varied to influence the quality of the part. As a result, they are often the design parameters for optimization.
Lee and Kim (1996a) optimized the sizes of runners and gates to balance runner system for multiple injection cavities. The runner balancing was described as the differences of entrance pressures for a multi-cavity mold with identical cavities, and as differences of pressures at the end of the melt flow path in each cavity for a family mold with different cavity volumes and geometries. The methodology has shown uniform pressure distributions among the cavities during the entire molding cycle of multiple cavities mold.
Zhai et al .(2005a) presented the two gate location optimization of one molding cavity by an efficient search method based on pressure gradient (PGSS), and subsequently positioned weld lines to the desired locations by varying runner sizes for multi-gate parts (Zhai et al ., 2006). As large-volume part, multiple gates are needed to shorten the maxi-mum flow path, with a corresponding decrease in injection pressure. The method is promising for de-sign of gates and runners for a single cavity with multiple gates.
Many of injection molded parts are produced with one gate, whether in single cavity mold or in multiple cavities mold. Therefore, the gate location of a single gate is the most common design parameter for optimization. A shape analysis approach was presented by Courbebaisse and Garcia (2002), by which the best gate location of injection molding was estimated. Subsequently, they developed this methodology further and applied it to single gate location optimization of an L shape example (Courbebaisse,2005). It is easy to use and not time-consuming, while it only serves the turning of simple flat parts with uniform thickness.
Pandelidis and Zou (1990) presented the optimization of gate location, by indirect quality measures relevant to warpage and material degradation, which is represented as weighted sum of a temperature differential term, an over-pack term, and a frictional overheating term. Warpage is influenced by the above factors, but the relationship between them is not clear. Therefore, the optimization effect is restricted by the determination of the weighting factors.
Lee and Kim (1996b) developed an automated election method of gate location, in which a set of initial gate locations were proposed by a designer and hen the optimal gate was located by the adjacent node evaluation method. The conclusion to a great extent depends much on the human designer’s intuition, because the first step of the method is based on the designer’s proposition. So the result is to a large extent limited to the designer’s experience.
Definition of feature warpage
To apply optimization theory to the gate design, quality measures of the part must be specified in the first instance. The term “quality” may be referred to many product properties, such as mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, ergonomical or geometrical properties. There are two types of part quality measures: direct and indirect. A model that predicts the proper-ties from numerical simulation results would be characterized as a direct quality measure. In contrast, an indirect measure of part quality is correlated with target quality, but it cannot provide a direct estimate of that quality.
For warpage, the indirect quality measures in related works are one of performances of injection molding flowing behavior or weighted sum of those. The performances are presented as filling time differential along different fl ow paths, temperature differential, over-pack percentage, and so on. It is obvious that warpage is influenced by these performances, but the relationship between warpage and these performances is not clear and the determination of these weighting factors is rather difficult. Therefore, the optimization with the above objective functionprobably will not minimize part warpage even with perfect optimization technique. Sometimes, improper weighting factors will result in absolutely wrong results.
In industry, designers and manufacturers usually pay more attention to the degree of part warpage on some specific features than the whole deformation of the injection molded parts. In this study, feature warpage is defined to describe the deformation of the injection parts. The feature warpage is the ratio of the maximum displacement of the feature surface to the projected length of the feature surface (Fig.1):
γ=% (1)
where γ is the feature warpage, h is the maximum displacement on the feature surface deviating from the reference platform, and L is the projected length of the feature surface on a reference direction paralleling the reference platform.
Evaluation of feature warpage
After the determination of target feature combined with corresponding reference plane and projection direction, the value of L can be calculated immediately from the part with the calculating method of analytic geometry (Fig.2). L is a constant for any part on the specified feature surface and projected direction. But the evaluation of h is more complicated than that of L.
Simulation of injection molding process is a common technique to forecast the quality of part design, mold design and process settings. The results of warpage simulation are expressed as the nodal deflections on X, Y , Z component ( W x, Wy, Wz), and the nodal displacement W . W is the vector length of vector sum of W x· i, Wy· j , and Wz· k, where i , j , k are the unit vectors on X , Y , Z component. The h is the maximum displacement of the nodes on the feature surface, which is correlated with the normal orientation of the reference plane, and can be derived from the results of warpage simulation.
To calculate h , the deflection of Ith node is evaluated firstly as follows:
where Wi is the deflection in the normal direction of the reference plane of ith node; Wix, Wiy, Wiz are the deflections on X , Y , Z component of ith node; α , β, γ are the angles of normal vector of the reference; A and B are the terminal nodes of the feature to projecting direction (Fig.2); W A and W Bare the deflections of nodes A and B .
APPLICATION AND DISCUSSION
The application to a complex industrial part is presented in this section to illustrate the proposed quality measure and optimization methodology. The part is provided by a manufacturer, as shown in Fig 4. In this part, the flatness of basal surface is the most important profile precision requirement. Therefore, the feature warpage is discussed on basal surface, in which reference platform is specified as a horizontal plane attached to the basal surface, and the longitudinal direction is specified as projected reference direction. The parameter h is the maximum basal surface deflection on the normal direction, namely the vertical direction, and the parameter L is the projected length of the basal surface to the longitudinal direction.
The material of the part is Nylon Zytel 101L (30% EGF, DuPont Engineering Polymer). The molding conditions in the simulation are listed in Table 1. Fig . 5 shows the finite element mesh model of the part employed in the numerical simulation. It has 1469 nodes and 2492 elements.
MPI is the most extensive software for the injection molding simulation, which can recommend the best gate location based on balanced flow. Gate location analysis is an effective tool for gate location design besides empirical method. For this part, the gate location analysis of MPI recommends that the best gate location is near node N7459, as shown in Fig.5. The part warpage is simulated based on this recommended gate and thus the feature warpage is evaluated: γ =5.15%, which is a great value. In trial manufacturing, part warpage is visible on the sample work piece. This is unacceptable for the manufacturer.
The great warpage on basal surface is caused by the uneven orientation distribution of the glass fiber, as shown in Fig.6a. Fig.6a shows that the glass fiber orientation changes from negative direction to positive direction because of the location of the gate, particularly the greatest change of the fiber orientation appears near the gate. The great diversification of fiber orientation caused by gate location introduces serious differential shrinkage. Accordingly, the feature warpage is notable and the gate location must be optimized to reduce part warpage.
To optimize the gate location, the simulated annealing searching discussed in the section “Simulated annealing algorithm” is applied to this part. The maximum number of iterations is chosen as 30 to ensure the precision of the optimization, and the maximum number of random trials allowed for each iteration is chosen as 10 to decrease the probability of null iteration without an iterative solution. Node N7379 (Fig.5) is found to be the optimum gate location. The feature warpage is evaluated from the warpage simulation results f (X)= γ =0.97%, which is less than that of the recommended gate by MPI. And the part warpage meets the manufacturer’s requirements in trial manufacturing. Fig.6b shows the fiber orientation in the simulation. It is seen that the optimal gate location results in the even glass fiber orientation, and thus introduces great reduction of shrinkage difference on the vertical direction along the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the feature warpage is reduced.
CONCLUSION
Feature warpage is defined to describe the warpage of injection molded parts and is evaluated based on the numerical simulation software MPI in this investigation. The feature warpage evaluation based on numerical simulation is combined with simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the single gate location for plastic injection mold. An industrial part is taken as an example to illustrate the proposed method. The method results in an optimal gate location, by which the part is satisfactory for the manufacturer. This method is also suitable to other optimization problems for warpage minimization, such as location optimization for multiple gates, runner system balancing, and option of anisotropic materials.

引言
塑料注射成型是一種廣泛使用的,復(fù)雜的但高效生產(chǎn)大量各種塑料制品的技術(shù),特別是用于生產(chǎn)那些生產(chǎn)要求高,精度高,和復(fù)雜形狀的塑件。注塑件的質(zhì)量是由塑料材料,零件的幾何形狀,模具結(jié)構(gòu)和工藝條件決定的。注塑模具的最重要的組成部分,主要是以下三部分組成:形腔,澆口,流道,和冷卻系統(tǒng)。Lam,Seow(2000)和Lam(2002)通過(guò)改變形腔的部分壁厚達(dá)到平衡。一個(gè)平衡充填過(guò)程的空腔內(nèi)均勻分布的壓力和溫度,可大大減少塑件熱變形。但形腔平衡是影響部分質(zhì)量的重要因素。特別是部分有其功能要求,其厚度通常不應(yīng)改變。 從模具設(shè)計(jì)的角度來(lái)看,一個(gè)澆口的特點(diǎn)是由它的大小,位置,和澆注系統(tǒng)的尺寸和布局決定。澆口尺寸、流道布局通常確定為常數(shù)。相對(duì)而言,澆口位置、流道尺寸更靈活,可以多種多樣來(lái)影響零件的質(zhì)量。因此,他們通常是優(yōu)化設(shè)計(jì)的參數(shù)。
Lee和Kim(1996)優(yōu)化流道和澆口的尺寸為多點(diǎn)噴射腔澆注系統(tǒng)的平衡。流道平衡被描述為一個(gè)具有相同的腔模多腔入口壓力的差異,在熔體的流動(dòng)路徑中的每個(gè)腔不同空腔體積和幾何形狀的一個(gè)底模壓力存在差異。在多腔模具整個(gè)成型周期中,該方法已顯示出空腔中的壓力可以均勻分布。
翟等人(2005年)提出了同一個(gè)壓力梯度的基礎(chǔ)上成型腔的兩個(gè)澆口位置優(yōu)化的搜索方法(PGSS),并隨后通過(guò)改變流道尺寸多閘部件定位焊線到所需的位置(翟等人。2006年)。體積大的部分,在注射壓力相應(yīng)減小的同時(shí),多澆口需要縮短最大流道。該方法是有前途的單腔多澆口和流道設(shè)計(jì)。
許多注塑件無(wú)論是在單型腔或多腔模具是單澆口生產(chǎn),。因此,一個(gè)單一澆口的位置優(yōu)化是最常見(jiàn)的設(shè)計(jì)參數(shù)。形狀分析方法是通過(guò)courbebaisse和加西亞提出的(2002年),來(lái)確定注射成型最佳澆口位置。隨后,他們改善了這一方法,進(jìn)一步應(yīng)用到一個(gè)L形如單澆口位置優(yōu)化(courbebaisse,2005)。這是易于使用和不費(fèi)時(shí)的,而它僅是簡(jiǎn)單的平面部分厚度的均勻過(guò)度。
Landslides和鄒(1990年)提出的澆口位置的優(yōu)化,以解決變形過(guò)大和過(guò)熱降解問(wèn)題,這是代表一個(gè)溫度微分項(xiàng)的加權(quán)總和,一組參數(shù),和摩擦過(guò)熱的參數(shù)。熱變形是由上述因素的影響,但它們之間的關(guān)系是不明確的。因此,優(yōu)化的效果是通過(guò)加權(quán)因子的確定來(lái)決定。
Lee和kim(1996)開(kāi)發(fā)了一個(gè)澆口位置自動(dòng)選擇方法,其中一組初始的澆口位置是由設(shè)計(jì)師提出在最佳澆口的相鄰節(jié)點(diǎn)處。結(jié)論在很大程度上取決于設(shè)計(jì)師的直覺(jué),因?yàn)樵摲椒ǖ牡谝徊绞歉鶕?jù)設(shè)計(jì)者的構(gòu)想來(lái)確定。這樣的結(jié)果是在很大程度上授之于設(shè)計(jì)師的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
特征翹曲的定義
翹曲變形是指注塑制品的形狀在脫模后或稍后一段時(shí)間內(nèi)產(chǎn)生的旋轉(zhuǎn)和扭曲現(xiàn)象。在現(xiàn)有的以翹曲變形為目標(biāo)的優(yōu)化研究中,目標(biāo)函數(shù)的描述可分為直接法和間接法兩種。在間接法中,以模擬充填完成時(shí)的場(chǎng)量信息為目標(biāo)函數(shù),這種方法雖然可以避免進(jìn)行翹曲變形模擬計(jì)算而加快優(yōu)化過(guò)程,但不能完全概括翹曲變形的影響因素,也不能明確各因素對(duì)翹曲變形的影響程度,從而只能保證優(yōu)化結(jié)果是有效的。在直接法中,常用翹曲變形量的統(tǒng)計(jì)值來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)翹曲變形,這類(lèi)指標(biāo)可以方便地在注塑翹曲變形模擬結(jié)果中得出,可以評(píng)價(jià)實(shí)際產(chǎn)品的變形,但不能如實(shí)反映產(chǎn)品的變形情況。
在工業(yè)上,設(shè)計(jì)師和制造者通常重視的是制品的某指定特征在特定方向上的翹曲變形程度。在這項(xiàng)研究中,特征翹曲被定義來(lái)描述的注塑件的變形。特征翹曲度γ來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)翹曲變形,γ為翹曲h與參考平面(設(shè)為xy平面)上特征沿特定方向的投影長(zhǎng)度L的比值(圖1):

Moldflow翹曲分析中,得出的各個(gè)單元節(jié)點(diǎn)在各坐標(biāo)方向上的翹曲量以及各坐標(biāo)方向翹曲的矢量和,并將其存儲(chǔ)為xml文件。特征投影長(zhǎng)度L可從CAD或CAE模型獲得,其計(jì)算方法用一般的投影長(zhǎng)度計(jì)算方法即可。而h值為待測(cè)平面上節(jié)點(diǎn)的最大翹曲變形量,可利用翹曲模擬結(jié)果計(jì)算得出。其計(jì)算公式如下:
式中,W、W分別為特征參考端點(diǎn)A、特征參考點(diǎn)B的翹曲變形量;W、W、W分別為節(jié)點(diǎn)在x、y、z方向上的翹曲變形在參考平面法向上的投影;W和W分別為特征參考點(diǎn)變形對(duì)節(jié)點(diǎn)i翹曲量的影響權(quán)值;L為節(jié)點(diǎn)i與參考點(diǎn)A在參考平面上的投影距離。

在本節(jié)以實(shí)例來(lái)說(shuō)明翹曲變形的評(píng)價(jià)方法、優(yōu)化模型和方法的有效性。產(chǎn)品的形狀如圖4所示。在本產(chǎn)品中,要求底端面有較好的平面度。故在底端面上進(jìn)行特征翹曲度計(jì)算,其中參考平面為連接到基底表面的一個(gè)水平面上,和縱向方向被指定為投影參考方向。參數(shù)h的最大撓度在基底表面的法線方向,即垂直方向,和參數(shù)L在縱向方向上的投影長(zhǎng)度。

MPI是最廣泛應(yīng)用于注射成型模擬的軟件,它可以找到基于流動(dòng)平衡的最佳澆口位置。MPI的澆口位置分析是澆口位置設(shè)計(jì)中除了實(shí)證方法外的有效工具。對(duì)于這部分,MPI的澆口位置分析建議最佳澆口位置n7459附近的節(jié)點(diǎn),如圖5所示。翹曲變形是基于此澆口的分析,特征翹曲度進(jìn)行計(jì)算:γ= 5.15%,特征翹曲度偏大。在試生產(chǎn)中,翹曲在樣件可見(jiàn)。這對(duì)成品是不可接受的。
在基底表面的大變形是由玻璃纖維取向分布的不均勻造成的,如圖.6表明由于澆口的位置玻璃纖維取向從負(fù)向正方向變化,特別是纖維取向的最大變化出現(xiàn)在澆口位置。在澆口位置的纖維取向造成嚴(yán)重的收縮。因此,澆口位置必須被優(yōu)化以減少特征翹曲度。

對(duì)澆口位置優(yōu)化,應(yīng)用模擬退火算法來(lái)計(jì)算。最大迭代次數(shù)為30,保證優(yōu)化的精度,和隨機(jī)試驗(yàn)允許每個(gè)迭代的最大數(shù)量為10減少無(wú)效迭代的概率沒(méi)有迭代解。經(jīng)過(guò)迭代計(jì)算,得到優(yōu)化后的節(jié)點(diǎn)n7379(圖5)。特征翹曲度f(wàn)(x)=γ= 0.97%,得到了較理想的底端面翹曲變形,可滿足制品要求。從模擬分析的纖維取向結(jié)果也可以看出,沿長(zhǎng)度方向上纖維取向均勻,冷卻時(shí)收縮均勻,沿長(zhǎng)度方向上翹曲變形小,從而特征翹曲度也較小。
結(jié)論
定義描述了基于數(shù)值模擬軟件MPI的特征翹曲變形。基于數(shù)值模擬的特征翹曲度結(jié)合了模擬退火算法優(yōu)化的注塑模具單澆口位置。并用一個(gè)例子來(lái)說(shuō)明所提出的方法。在一個(gè)最佳的澆口位置,其中部分的制品是令人滿意的。該方法也適用于其他的翹曲最小化的優(yōu)化問(wèn)題,如多澆口位置優(yōu)化,澆注系統(tǒng)的平衡,和各向異性材料的選擇。
