[0028] Reference Figs. 1 to 4 A liquid silicone injection nozzle according to a preferred embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below, wherein the liquid silicone injection nozzle comprises a housing 10, an inner cylinder 20, a plug rod 30, an annular end cover 40 and a connecting head 50 coaxially connected, wherein the housing 10 has opposite first and second ends along the length direction;

[0029] The plug rod 30 and the inner cylinder 20 are sequentially nested in the shell cavity of the housing 10, that is, the inner cylinder 20 is nested in the shell cavity of the housing 10, and the plug rod 30 is located in the cylinder cavity of the inner cylinder 20, and the three are coaxially distributed, at the same time, a cooling medium area 101 is formed between the inner cylinder 20 and the housing 10 for cooling the liquid silicone in the inner cylinder 20, and a liquid silicone flow channel 102 is formed between the plug rod 30 and the inner cylinder 20 for the flow of liquid silicone to be sprayed out by means of the injection nozzle. In addition, the inner cylinder 20 is provided with a tapered transition area 21 with a gradually reduced inner diameter at one end close to the second end, and the plug rod 30 is matched with the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20 at one end close to the second end for sealing the outlet of the inner cylinder 20 to avoid the flow of liquid silicone or for opening the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20 to implement the injection of silicone; the annular end cover 40 is arranged at the second end in a manner of sealing the cooling medium area 101, and the inner side wall of the annular end cover 40 is sealingly connected with the outer side wall of the inner cylinder 20, thereby forming a bottom end sealing for the cooling medium area 101, and also not affecting the injection of silicone of the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20;

[0030] The connecting head 50 is arranged at the first end in a manner of sealing the cooling medium area 101, and the connecting head 50 is provided with an inflow channel 501 matched with the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20, and an annular blocking piece 51 is arranged in the inflow channel 501, wherein the outer circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 is fixedly connected with the inflow channel 501, and the plug rod 30 is connected with a plug 70 matched with the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 through an elastic linkage structure 60, wherein the elastic linkage structure 60 is configured to: when the external liquid silicone is pressed against the plug 70 from the side of the inflow channel 501 and overcomes the elastic potential energy of the elastic linkage structure 60, the plug 70 and the plug rod 30 can move towards each other in a direction of synchronously opening the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 and the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20, and when the pressure of the external liquid silicone is less than the elastic potential energy of the elastic linkage structure 60, the plug 70 and the plug rod 30 can move away from each other in a direction of synchronously closing the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 and the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20, so that when the injection nozzle stops working, the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 (i.e. the inlet of the inner cylinder) and the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20 are synchronously closed, thereby avoiding the problem of liquid silicone flowing out of the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20 and blocking the nozzle, and saving raw materials, and the cooling medium area 101 formed between the inner cylinder 20 and the shell 10 can ensure that the liquid silicone in the inner cylinder 20 does not vulcanize.

[0031] In one embodiment, the inner side wall of the annular end cover 40 is threadedly connected with the outer side wall of the inner cylinder 20, and the inner side surface of the annular end cover 40 is provided with a first annular groove in the circumferential direction, wherein a sealing ring is embedded in the first annular groove, and the shell 10 abuts on the sealing ring of the first annular groove in a sealed contact manner with the annular end cover 40, so that the annular end cover 40 can seal the cooling medium area 101, and the threaded connection of the annular end cover 40 and the inner cylinder 20 is easy for assembly and later maintenance of the injection nozzle.

[0032] In one embodiment, the taper of the tapered transition area 21 is 1:20-1:40, and the taper of the part of the plug rod 30 opposite to the tapered transition area 21 is smaller than the taper of the tapered transition area 21, thereby ensuring that the liquid silicone in the inner cylinder 20 is quickly injected out of the injection nozzle, and because the taper of the plug rod 30 at this position is smaller than the taper of the inner cylinder 20 at this position, the gap between the plug rod 30 and the inner cylinder 20 becomes smaller and the amount of liquid silicone becomes less as the opening 201 of the inner cylinder 20 is approached, so that the plug rod 30 can more easily seal the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20, and the sealing effect is good.

[0033] In one embodiment, the plug rod 30 is uniformly distributed with flow guide platforms 31 in the circumferential direction, wherein the flow guide platforms 31 extend along the length direction of the plug rod 30, and the liquid silicone flow channels 103 are formed between adjacent flow guide platforms 31, thereby facilitating the rapid and directional flow of liquid silicone in the inner cylinder 20, and improving the injection and spraying speed and effect of the injection nozzle.

[0034] In one embodiment, the connecting head 50 is provided with a second annular groove opposite to the side surface of the shell 10, wherein the second annular groove is embedded with a sealing ring, and the shell 10 abuts on the sealing ring of the second annular groove in a sealed contact with the connecting head 50, so that the cooling medium area 101 at the other end can be sealed through the connecting head 50.

[0035] In one embodiment, the inflow channel 501 is provided with an internal thread matched with the external thread of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20, facilitating the rapid assembly and later maintenance between the inner cylinder 20 and the connecting head 50.

[0036] In one embodiment, the elastic linkage structure 60 includes a spring 61 and two or three groups of connecting rods 62, rotating rods 63 and transmission rods 64, wherein the connecting rods 62 are connected to the inner side of the annular blocking piece 51 in a vertical symmetry on the outside of the plug head 70, the rotating rods 63 are hingedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods 62 at a position close to the middle, one end of the rotating rods 63 is hingedly connected to the plug head 70, and the other end of the rotating rods 63 is hingedly connected to the top end of the transmission rods 64, the other end of the transmission rods 64 is hingedly connected to the plug rod 30 on the outside, and the spring 61 is vertically connected to the opposite surfaces of the plug head 70 and the plug rod 30.

[0037] When the pressure of the external liquid silicone applied to the plug 70 overcomes the elastic potential energy of the spring 61, the plug 70 moves towards the direction of the plug rod 30, and also drives the plug rod 30 to move towards the direction of the plug 70 through the articulated relationship between the rotating rod 63, the plug 70 and the transmission rod 64, the plug rod 30 and the plug 70 move towards each other to compress the spring 61 until the pressure of the external liquid silicone and the rebound force of the spring 61 are balanced, the external liquid silicone flows into the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 20 from the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51, and then flows out through the liquid silicone guide channel 103 and the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20, realizing the injection and spraying of the glue of the injection nozzle. When it is necessary to stop injecting and spraying the glue, the applied pressure of the external liquid silicone decreases, and under the rebound force of the spring 61 and the aforementioned articulated relationship, the plug 70 and the plug rod 30 move away from each other, wherein the plug 70 blocks the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51, and the plug rod 30 blocks the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20, thereby avoiding the liquid silicone in the inner cylinder 20 from continuing to flow out and blocking the outlet 201 of the inner cylinder 20.

[0038] Further preferably, the opposite surfaces of the plug 70 and the plug rod 30 are both provided with a groove 701 for mounting the spring 61, so as to facilitate the installation of the spring 61 and the directional release of the elastic potential energy of the spring 61.

[0039] In one embodiment, the plug 70 is an inverted T-shaped circular truncated cone structure, including a limiting portion 71 and a matching portion 72, wherein the matching portion 72 matches the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51, and the limiting portion 71 is located on the inner side of the annular blocking piece 51, and the diameter of the limiting portion 71 is greater than the inner diameter of the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51, and the rotating rod 63 is articulated on the limiting portion 71, thereby being able to seal the inner circumference of the annular blocking piece 51 through the limiting portion 71 and the matching portion 72.

[0040] The annular blocking piece 51 can be an annular blocking plate, or an annular blocking step or boss.

[0041] In one embodiment, the end of the matching portion 72 away from the limiting portion 71 is provided with a tapered table 73, wherein the diameter of the tapered table 73 gradually decreases from the side close to the matching portion 72 to the side away from the matching portion 72, thereby being able to avoid the plug 70 from damaging the annular blocking piece 51 during repeated movement, thereby prolonging the service life of the injection nozzle.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" in the present application are only used for description purpose, and do not indicate any sequence, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, and the terms can be interpreted as names.

[0043] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above description and the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present application. The advantages of the present application have been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present application have been shown and described in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present application can be modified or changed in any way without departing from the principles.
