Abstract

An apparatus for injection molding of fluid plastic materials includes a mold, a hot runner distributor of the fluid plastic material, at least one injector, and an actuator for controlling the opening and closing of the injector, including a jack whose cooling is performed by means of an air flow.

Claims

1. An apparatus for injection molding of fluid plastic materials, comprising:

a mold,

a hot runner distributor of the fluid plastic material,

at least one injector for injecting the fluid plastic material from the hot runner distributor into the mold,

a jack controlling opening and closing of the injector, said jack being cooled by an air flow, and

a casing at least partly surrounding the jack, said casing having an air inlet opening and an outlet opening for the outflow of air.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said air flow is generated by an electric fan.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said electric fan is arranged at said air inlet opening.

4. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said electric fan is arranged at said outlet opening.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said air inlet opening is at a remote position with respect to said hot runner.

6. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said casing is at least partly made of a thermally insulating material.

7. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the jack includes a cylinder, and wherein provided for is at least one hollow body which at least partly surrounds the cylinder of the jack, said at least one hollow body being designed to support at least said electric fan.

8. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the air flow generated by said electric fan is conveyed outside the mold.

9. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the jack is supported by the hot runner distributor.

10. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the jack is supported by a mold plate.

11. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the jack is electric.

12. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the jack is a fluid jack.
