[0017] Specific implementation cases

[0018] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0019] According to the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention proposes a uniform cooling device for an injection mold, which is characterized by comprising: a core 1, an injection port 2, a fixed module 3, a plunger member 4, a serrated water baffle 5, a water baffle 6, a flow channel device 7, a hexagonal block 4-1, a plunger 4-2, a groove 4-3, a dovetail groove 4-4, a dovetail groove guide rail 5-1, a groove 5-2, a serrated piece 5-3, a triangular serration 5-31, an elastic membrane 5-32, a thermal bimetallic sheet 5-33, a square groove (5-4), a liquid inlet 7-1, a water well 7-2, a flow channel 7-3, and a liquid outlet 7-4.

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0021] Injection molding starts from the injection port 2, and the molding material fills the core 1. At this time, the fixed module 3 is affected by the heat transfer and the temperature rises. Cooling water is introduced into the runner device 7, and the cooling water flows through the liquid inlet 7-1, the water well 7-2, the runner 7-3, and the liquid outlet 7-4 to achieve the cooling effect of the injection molded part. The serrated water baffle 5 is clamped in the water well 7-2, and a certain distance is left at the end to achieve the flow of cooling water to cool the injection molded part. In addition, the cooling water can also flow from the gap of the serrated piece 5-3 on one side of the serrated water baffle 5, and the elasticity of the serrated piece 5-3 is used to realize water flow regulation to achieve control of the cooling effect. At this time, according to the shape of the core 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sawtooth piece 5-3 begins to deform due to heat. The heat is high at the core 1 far away from the injection port 2, and the heat is low near the injection port. The hot bimetallic strip 5-33 bends due to heat. The greater the degree of bending is at the point where the heat is the highest, the elastic film 5-32 is pulled to move together. On the contrary, the smaller the degree of bending is at the point where the heat is the lowest. Fig. 9 As shown. At the point where the curvature is the largest, the smaller the area of ​​the serrated piece 5-3 through which the water flows in the flow channel 7-3, the greater the flow rate, the faster the water solution alternates, and the better the cooling effect, so that the areas with high heat on the surface of the injection molded part are cooled, and the areas with low heat are cooled slowly, thereby achieving a uniform cooling effect on the surface of the injection molded part. In addition, the porous water-blocking plate 6 shown is inserted into the serrated water-blocking plate 5, and the elliptical area is designed to be smaller near the area with high heat, so that the cooling water flows faster, and the elliptical area is designed to be larger near the area with low heat, so that the cooling water flows slower, so as to achieve a uniform cooling effect on the surface of the injection molded part. By utilizing the water-blocking plate 6 and the elastic serrated piece 5-3 to better realize the regulation of the cooling water flow rate, a uniform cooling effect on the surface of the injection molded part can be quickly achieved.

[0022] The device can be used to realize the function of adjustable coolant flow rate, achieve uniform cooling effect of injection mold, have a wide range of applications, reduce various product defects caused by uneven cooling, and improve production efficiency.

[0023] The above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the relevant technical field may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the present invention. The patent protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
