Abstract: A counterpressure/temperature control apparatus, comprises: a mold, having a runner and an air passage, both coupled to a mold cavity inside the mold; a logic control valve, coupled to the air passage for controlling a high-temperature gas or/and a counterpressure gas to flow in and out the mold cavity; a counterpressure gas supplying device, for supplying the counterpressure gas to the mold cavity through the logic control valve; and a high-temperature gas supplying device, for supplying the high-temperature gas to the mold cavity through the logic control valve; wherein the mold cavity is heated by the high-temperature gas, while subjecting the same to a counterpressure provided from the counterpressure gas supplying device during an injection molding process, and thereby, not only the surface quality of a product resulting from the injection molding process can be improved, but also the size of foams and the distribution evenness thereof are enhanced.

Abstract: A mold device includes a mold member having a mold cavity for receiving a melted foamable material to form an object, and a pressure applying device for applying a pressure to the melted foamable material, and to limit a foaming of the melted foamable material, and for preventing orifices from being formed in an outer peripheral portion of the object, and for forming a smooth and shiny or sparkling outer appearance to the object. A mold piece is movably received in the mold cavity, and an actuator may force the mold piece to force against the melted foamable material. A pumping device may pump the hydraulic fluid into and out of the actuator.
