In possible configurations, the connecting element (53) is pinned. a connection, articulated connection, threaded connection or similar power transmission connection It may include. The structure of the movement mechanism (50) including the piston and drive rod, injection channel (35) movement of the cutting element (40) against the high BMC dough pressure inside. It provides the necessary force for its implementation. In light of all that has been said, the shut-off valve (1) performs its function as follows: 25 Initially, the end nozzle body (33) is brought into contact with the injection opening of the mold. Movement The mechanism (50) brings the cutting element (40) to the open position. In the open position, the cutter element (40) is retracted towards the inside of the nozzle group (30) and the cutting edge area (41) It is located outside the cutting opening. Compared to the closed position shown in the figures. The cutting element (40) is moved to the right, so that the cutting edge (41) is 30 inches from the cutting edge. (39) is removed. Thus, the BMC dough is allowed to pass from the cutting opening into the mold. is provided. BMC dough, sent under pressure from the injection molding machine, exits the BMC dough inlet. (11) is taken into the feed body (10). BMC pulp is taken into the first flow body (21) and the second 35 Passing through the dough advance channel (23) that runs along the flow body (22) to the nozzle connection The dough reaches the nozzle connection body (31). The dough then passes through the nozzle connection body (31), intermediate nozzle 14 from the injection channel (35) that extends along the body (32) and end nozzle body (33) It is progressing. BMC dough passes around the cutting element (40) in the injection channel (35) and the tip through the cutting mouth (39), which is the end of the nozzle body (33), to the injection mouth of the mold 5 It is being transferred. During this time, the cutting element (40) is kept in the open position and BMC The dough's movement into the mold is not prevented. After the mold is filled with BMC dough, the movement mechanism (50), cutter The cutting element (40) moves towards the closed position. With the advancement of the cutting element (40) 10 cutting edge region with constant outer cross-section (41), cutting opening with constant inner cross-section It enters inside. During this movement, the cutting edge area (41) and the cutting opening The BMC pulp and the fibers within the pulp are cut. When the cutting process is completed, the cutting element (40) opens the injection channel (35) into the mold. It closes part of the nozzle. Thus, when the injection group is removed from the mold, the nozzle closes. The pressurized BMC paste in group (30) overflowing and spreading around the mold or the formation of burrs is limited. The cutter in the next injection process. element (40) is put back into the open position and BMC dough is allowed to pass into the mold. is given. 20 In the configuration with a cooling housing (34), the coolant is injected during the injection processes. or within the cooling channel (36) at predetermined production intervals It is circulated. Thus, the cutting edge (39) in the end nozzle body (33) is circulated with the hot mold. Heat transfer resulting from contact is limited and the BMC dough passes through nozzle 25 Its hardening is reduced within group (30). Because BMC dough has a thermoset structure. Therefore, it reacts and hardens when exposed to heat, and the nozzle group (30) It is losing its ability to flow within. The detachable body structure of the shut-off valve (1), nozzle connection body (31), intermediate 30 nozzle body (32), end nozzle body (33) and cooling body (34) as needed This allows them to be separated from each other. Thus, the injection channels (35), cutting Access to the element (40), cutting edge (39) and cooling channels (36) is possible; cleaning, Maintenance and parts replacement operations can be performed. 35 According to the structure described above, the shut-off valve (1) is the cutter of the fiber-containing BMC pulp. cutting between element (40) and cutting edge (39), injection after cutting closing of channel (35) and BMC dough uncontrollably in nozzle group (30) It ensures that its progression is limited. With a shear opening having a constant internal cross-section. cutting edge region with a constant outer cross-section compatible with the inner cross-section of the aforementioned cutting opening (41) use together, BMC dough in a flared or conical seating surface It reduces compression. In the configuration with a cooling body (34), 5 from the hot mold. By limiting the heat transferred to the nozzle group (30), the injection channel of BMC dough (35) Early erection and blockage are reduced.
