Plastic helmet injection molding machine is a kind of injection molding equipment specially used for producing plastic helmets.
Plastic Helmets
A motorcycle helmet(ABS plastic helmet) is an indispensable safety equipment for cyclists in daily traffic,
and its main role is to protect the head from accidental injuries.
The full helmet provides the most comprehensive protection and is suitable for high-speed riding.
The unmasked helmet combines ventilation and protection.
Half-helmets are more suitable for warmer weather or short rides.
Plastic Helmets manufacturing machine
Injection molding machines play a vital role in the production of motorcycle helmets at the present time.
These injection molding machines are highly process control, stable, and versatile, making them ideal for the manufacture of ABS helmets.
In addition to the production of helmet shells, injection molding machines （helmet manufacturing machines）are also used in the production of linings, face shields, and other components.
For example, the liner is usually assembled by hand on the inside of the helmet shell,
while the mask is made of polycarbonate or other plastic materials.
These parts also need to be molded by injection molding machines.
In conclusion, injection molding machines play a key role in the production of motorcycle helmets,
and all parts from the helmet shell to the liner and face shield need to be completed by helmet making machine.
Types of Plastic Helmets
Motorcycle Helmets
A motorcycle helmet is an indispensable safety piece of equipment for riding, and its main function is to protect the head from injuries in the event of an accident.
These helmets often use ABS or PC ABS alloy, which has high strength and toughness and is lightweight.
Bicycle helmets
A bicycle helmet is an important piece of cycling equipment whose main role is to protect the rider in the event of a collision and reduce the risk of head injury.
Adult bicycle helmets
The selection and use of adult bicycle helmets requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors,
including safety, comfort, size, and applicable scenarios, etc., and it is very important to choose the right helmet size.
kids bike helmets
Children’s bicycle helmets are an indispensable part of cycling safety,
which can effectively protect children from head injuries while riding.
Children’s helmets, which do not cause harmful effects on children when in contact with the skin,
must be securely fastened to the skull without causing injury, and have a clear view of the left and right up and down.
Sport Helmets
Sports helmets refer to the helmets worn by cyclists, skateboards, roller skates, etc.,
and wearing their helmets correctly can effectively reduce sports injuries.
In different fields and uses, sports helmets differ in design and function.
Safety helmet
A safety helmet is a device used to protect the head from falling objects and other specific factors,
which is mainly composed of a cap shell, a cap lining, a chin strap, and accessories.
The material of the plastic helmet
There are many different types of helmet materials, each with its own unique benefits and application scenarios.
According to the search results, common helmet materials include:
ABS plastic
ABS plastic helmets have a hard texture, good toughness, and good impact resistance, and are relatively cheap and suitable for ordinary consumers.
PC plastic
PC plastic helmets have high impact resistance and heat resistance.
Carbon fiber
Made of carbon fiber and resin, carbon fiber helmets are very lightweight and durable and are often used on racing motorcycles because they provide absolute strength.
FRP
FRP is a composite material, which is composed of glass fiber and one or several thermosetting or thermoplastic resins,
which have many advantages such as lightweight, high strength, anti-corrosion, heat preservation, insulation, and sound insulation.
Composites
Some high-end helmets use composite shells, often including a mix of polycarbonate, carbon fiber, fiberglass, etc.,
which combine lightweight and excellent protection, but are relatively more expensive.
The role of the plastic helmet
The main function of a plastic helmet is to protect the head from various external impacts and injuries.
Specifically, plastic helmets achieve their protective functions through the following aspects:
Impact resistance
Plastic helmets are usually made of materials with high toughness and high impact resistance,
such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) and PC (polycarbonate).
These materials are able to effectively absorb and disperse external forces, reducing the impact force on the head.
Cushioning and shock absorption
In the event of a collision, the foam lining in the helmet crushes and absorbs most of the impact force, protecting the head from direct impact.
This design can significantly reduce the risk of head injury.
The production process of plastic motorcycle helmets
Helmet manufacturing machine is mainly used to produce various types of helmets,
including motorcycle helmets, electric vehicle helmets, etc.
Helmet manufacturing machines typically include equipment such as injection molding machines,
molds, dryers, mixers, automatic feeders, product removal robots, and sprue cutting robots.
In particular, helmet manufacturing machines play a crucial role in the production of plastic helmets,
as these machines are highly controllable, stable, and versatile, making them ideal for manufacturing motorcycle helmets made of ABS.
Helmet manufacturing machine is a key piece of equipment, and the production process mainly has the following steps:
- Design the plastic motorcycle helmet mould
- Make a plastic motorcycle helmets mould
- Plastic motorcycle helmet injection process
- Plastic motorcycle helmets cooling forming
- Demolding and post-processing
Design the plastic motorcycle helmets mould
Designing injection mould drawings for motorcycle helmets is a complex task that requires a high degree of expertise.
Modern injection mould design often starts with a 3D model of the product.
Building a 3D model of a motorcycle helmet shell directly on a computer using PC software such as SolidWorks, UG/NX or AutoCAD is a critical first step.
Haichen has very experienced professionals, from drawing design to mold design completion, there is no doubt that Hichain is a partner worthy of customers’ trust.
Make a plastic motorcycle helmets mould
The basic components of injection moulds include molded parts, clamping guide mechanism,
gating system, ejection release mechanism, lateral parting and lateral core-pulling mechanism, exhaust mechanism, etc.
For different types of motorcycle helmets, the design of the mould structure is also different.
For example, a sportbike helmet may require a more complex cooling system to ensure molding quality,
while a cruising helmet may require a larger pouring system to accommodate larger helmet sizes.
Haichen’s designers will take into account all aspects of the mold manufacturer and deliver high-quality molds that meet the standards to customers.
Plastic Motorcycle Helmets Injection Process
The process of producing motorcycle helmets using injection molding machines involves several steps,
from the preparation of raw materials to the formation of the final product.
The following is the detailed production process:
Material preparation
First, different proportions of ABS, masterbatch, and other plastic particles are mixed.
These materials are sucked into the mixing port of the injection molding machine by a vacuum suction machine for homogeneous mixing.
Before injection molding, the raw materials need to be cut, dried,
and pre-treated to ensure their stable performance and avoid undesirable defects during the injection molding process.
Injection molding
Pre-treated plastic pellets are placed into a heated barrel of an injection molding machine and melted at high temperatures.
Post-processing
Injection-moulded helmet shells need to be cooled and molded.
The molded helmet shell may require further trimming and sanding to remove burrs and defects.
Quality Inspection
Strict quality inspection is carried out on the formed helmet, including visual inspection, dimensional measurement,
and mechanical property testing to ensure that each helmet meets safety standards.
Assembly & Packaging
Finally, the qualified helmet shell is assembled with other parts such as masks, linings, etc. to form a complete helmet.
Once assembled, the helmet is packaged for easy transport and sale.
