[0002] In the injection molding process, the hot runner system is a key component for achieving efficient and high-quality molding. The hot runner system is a heating device used in injection molding. It keeps the plastic material in a molten state during the delivery process, thereby achieving continuous flow and precise distribution of the plastic. The hot runner system is usually installed inside the injection mold, connecting the nozzle of the injection molding machine and the gate of the mold, ensuring that the plastic maintains the appropriate temperature and fluidity before entering the mold cavity.

[0003] Compared to traditional cold runner systems, hot runner systems can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the quality of injection molded products.

The rubber sealing ring 203 has good elasticity and can produce uniform elastic deformation at the connection point, thereby tightly fitting the contact surface between the drive mechanism and the valve chamber 202, effectively preventing leakage of melt or cooling medium. The rubber material can adapt to certain temperature and pressure changes. Even if the temperature rises or the pressure fluctuates during the operation of the hot runner system, the rubber sealing ring 203 can still maintain good sealing performance to ensure the stability of the system.
