In this study, We designated the injection molded plug housing for charging electric vehicles as a research subject. And we analyzed the effect of Rib design on the quality of injection molded products. First, we used the Taguchi method to derive optimal conditions for rib design. The factors were set as the Thickness of the rib, the Height of the rib, and the Radius of the rib. Each factor consisted of 5 levels and generated conditions for a total of 125. We performed an injection molding analysis and confirmed significant factors affecting the deformation of injection molded products through ANOVA. Based on this, the 25th design detail was selected as the optimal condition. In addition, We compared the results of the molding analysis with the molded products that did not design ribs. We confirmed that the molded product designed with ribs under optimal design detail improved the deformation amount by 22.22% and the residual stress by 8.35%, compared to the molded product not designed with ribs.
