The image depicts innovative mold design solutions for automotive air duct components through modular integration. The presented system consolidates three previously separate mold sets , into a single composite mold structure. Key technical highlights include:

  1. Multi-product Design

    • Utilizes in-mold insert integration and multi-cavity hot runner system

    • Achieves 3-in-1 production for diverse duct geometries

    • Optimized cavity layout with stepped arrangement maximizing XYZ spatial utilization

    • Reduces parting surface count by over 30%

  2. Cost Optimization

    • Nested guide pillar structure reduces total mold weight by 22%

    • Development cycle shortened by 45% compared to traditional methods

    • Injection machine tonnage reduced from 350T to 220T

    • Overall product cost decreased by 38%

  3. Process Reliability

    • Spiral cooling channels ensure uniform filling for PP+30% fiberglass

    • Dynamic temperature control: 82±1℃(moving mold)/78±1℃(fixed mold)

    • Micron-level exhaust slots (0.02mm depth) combined with vacuum assistance

    • Eliminates air traps and ensures dimensional stability

This modular design embodies lightweighting, principles, and parameterized modeling for >200,000 service life validation. It delivers cost-effective solutions for automotive part manufacturers requiring rapid multi-specification production transitions.
