Knowledge–based method for cavity number definition in injection mold design

Abstract

This paper deals with the application of intelligent design system for injection mold design. Expert System structure to injection mold design is developed. It consists of four parts: definition of cavity number, feeding system, cooling system, and molded part withdrawal. The defini-tion of mold cavity number is widely considered. The knowledge-based method and Fuzzy theory for data pres-entation and knowledge processing have been used. The developed knowledge-based method for the definition of cavity number has been tested and validated experimen-tally.
