Record 5 2003-02-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diesel Motors
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
DEF

An injector which is camshaft-driven and incorporates a plunger. The plunger works in conjunction with orifices in the injection body to determine the beginning and end of injection. The plunger has a helix and is rotated by a rack so the beginning and end of injection can occur closer together or farther apart, thus shortening or lengthening the injection period and changing metering. A special pump which supplies fuel through an orifice to the injector operates at a pressure which is precisely controlled depending on the changes in engine speed.

Cartridge syringe is a device intended to inject anesthetic agents subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The device consists of a metal syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule(a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the syringe body and activating the carpule by partially inserting the plunger on the syringe, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient.

Le corps de la seringue est formé par la cartouche, ou carpule, contenant la solution anesthésique. Cette cartouche est un cylindre de verre formé par deux bouchons de caoutchouc : l'un est fixe et se trouvera perforé par une extrémité de l'aiguille bipointe; l'autre est mobile en actionnant le piston de la seringue.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

Special screw injection process for moulding thick-walled articles, developed by Anker and Eckert und Ziegler.

CONT

Intrusion molding. When heavy sections are molded or when the shooting capacity of the machine is not adequate, intrusion molding can be used, where the screw turns continually and fills the cavity directly. When the cavity is filled, a cushion is extruded in front of the plunger, which then comes forward to supply the needed injection pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Intrusion. But : fabriquer des pièces très épaisses, pour lesquelles la capacité de plastification de la machine est trop faible. Principe : Le dispositif de plastification extrude la matière dans le moule et le remplit. La compression de la matière peut se faire de 2 manières : -Par la pression d'extrusion de la machine (utilisation d'une extrudeuse, ou blocage du recul de la vis d'une presse d'injection). -Par la pression d'injection de la presse. Dans ce cas, la machine plastifie de la matière jusqu'à un dosage voulu. Ensuite, injection de la matière, comme dans le cas d'une injection classique.

... preplasticizing machine. Of the equipment in use today, 95% is preplasticizing; either with a reciprocating screw or a screw-pot. In a reciprocating screw the melted material is collected in front of the screw, which continues to move backward against a controlled pressure as more material is melted. The area where the melted material is collected corresponds to the pot in a two-stage machine. When the screw is pushed forward by the hydraulic injection cylinder(s), a check valve(nonreturn valve) is closed. At this time the screw and nonreturn valve act like a plunger.

La machine la plus utilisée est la presse à vis-piston. On parle alors de préplastification; en effet la vis assure ici deux fonctions : -fonction vis en tournant sur son axe : plastification de la matière de façon homogène, -fonction piston en avançant le long de son axe : matière poussée dans le moule par l'extrémité de la vis (qui joue le rôle de piston).

OBS

The plunger machine heats the material by conduction. Since plastic is an insulator, the material next to the outside wall is much hotter than that nearer the center. The laminar flow in the plunger-type cylinder does not reduce the temperature differential. ... The plunger machine in now only used to produce special effects (mottling, for example); the two-stage plunger machine is obsolete. It is used in thermoset IM for glass-reinforced polyester because it reduces glass fiber breakage.

La presse à piston, celle décrite dans le principe, est la plus ancienne. La matière fondue est poussée du pot d'injection au moule par un piston (analogie avec le moulage des alliages légers sous pression). L'avantage principal réside dans la simplicité de la machine mais la matière, pour un diamètre de fût important, reste insuffisamment plastifiée puisqu'il existe un gradient de température entre l'axe et la paroi du fût.
