[0044] In a specific embodiment, the end of the valve needle 140 close to the flow channel outlet 133 has a first diameter portion 141 and a second diameter portion 142, and the first diameter portion 141 is located between the flow channel outlet 133 and the second diameter portion 142; The diameter of the first diameter portion 141 is smaller than the diameter of the second diameter portion 142 , and the diameter of the flow channel outlet 133 is smaller than the diameter of the inner opening; the first diameter portion 141 matches the flow channel outlet 133 , and the second diameter portion 142 matches the inner opening.

[0045] It should be noted that when the second diameter portion 142 is located at the inner opening, the inner opening can be sealed and the runner outlet 133 can be opened; when the second diameter portion 142 and the first diameter portion 141 are located inside the inner opening, since the diameter of the first diameter portion 141 is smaller than the inner opening, the core material with bubbles in the second hot runner 132 can be discharged; when the first diameter portion 141 is located at the runner outlet 133, the second diameter portion 142 and the inner wall of the runner outlet 133 fit together, thereby achieving a good sealing effect, blocking the conduction of the first hot runner 131, and at this time the second hot runner 132 is also sealed, and the core material inside it will not flow out of the inner opening.

[0046] Preferably, the first diameter portion 141 is a boss structure, and its side surface is a sloped surface, and the flow channel outlet 133 is a matching boss structure so that the flow channel outlet 133 can guide the valve needle and seal the two; and, when the two-stroke cylinder is in the first stroke point state, no large gap will be generated between the sloped surface on the side surface of the first diameter portion 141 and the sloped surface on the side surface of the flow channel outlet 133. At this time, the surface material flowing out of the first hot runner 131 will first flow along the side surface of the flow channel outlet 133. Therefore, when the two-stroke cylinder switches to the second stroke point state, an area will be vacated in the middle of the flow channel outlet 133 for the core material of the second hot runner 132 to be injected, forming a double-layer structure in the mold cavity 161.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the valve needle drive device 150 includes a dual-stroke cylinder and a valve assembly; The double-stroke cylinder includes a first cylinder body 153, a first piston rod 154, a second cylinder body 155, and a second piston rod 156; the first piston rod 154 divides the first cylinder body 153 into a first cavity 151a and a second cavity 151b; the rod body of the first piston rod 154 faces the first cavity 151a; the second piston rod 156 divides the second cylinder body 155 into a third cavity 151c and a fourth cavity 151d; the rod body of the second piston rod 156 faces the third cavity 151c, and the rod body of the second piston rod 156 extends into the second cavity 151b and faces the first piston rod 154; the first piston rod 154 is connected to the valve needle 140; The valve assembly connects the first cavity 151a, the second cavity 151b, the third cavity 151c and the fourth cavity 151d.

[0049] It should be noted that when the valve assembly supplies air to the second cavity 151b, the first piston rod 154 extends the distance of the first cylinder body 153 to the maximum, and the second piston rod 156 is separated from the first piston rod 154. At this time, the two-stroke cylinder is in the zero point state, and the valve needle 140 can seal the first hot runner 131 and the second hot runner 132; when the valve assembly supplies air to the first cavity 151a and the third cavity 151c, the first piston rod 154 extends the distance of the first cylinder body 153 to the shortest. At this time, the two-stroke cylinder is in the second stroke point state, the valve needle 140 is located in the second hot runner 132, and the first hot runner 131 and the second hot runner 132 are both open; when the valve assembly supplies air to the first cavity 151a and the fourth cavity 151d, the second piston rod 156 presses against the back of the first piston rod 154. At this time, the two-stroke cylinder is in the first stroke point state, the valve needle 140 is located at the inner opening, the first hot runner 131 is open, and the second hot runner 132 is closed.

The first two-position five-way solenoid valve 157 is used to control the air intake of the first cavity 151a and the air discharge of the second cavity 151b, or to control the air discharge of the first cavity 151a and the air intake of the second cavity 151b; The second two-position five-way solenoid valve 158 connects the third cavity 151c and the fourth cavity 151d, and is used to control the air intake of the third cavity 151c and the air discharge of the fourth cavity 151d, or to control the air discharge of the third cavity 151c and the air intake of the fourth cavity 151d.

[0051] It should be noted that the first two-position five-way solenoid valve 157 can control the moving direction of the first piston rod 154, and the second two-position five-way solenoid valve 158 can control the moving direction of the second piston rod 156, thereby realizing the three states of the first stroke point, the second stroke point and the zero point.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the skin material injection screw 110 includes: a first screw 111, a first screw housing 112, and a first hopper 113.

[0053] It should be noted that the first hopper 113 of the skin material injection molding screw 110 is filled with a mixture of PC material and PMMA material, which is converted into a molten state after being conveyed and heated by the first screw 111 and is extruded from the skin material outlet; the second hopper 123 of the core material injection molding screw 120 is filled with a mixture of PC material and PMMA material with bubbles, which is converted into a molten state after being conveyed and heated by the second screw 121 and is extruded from the core material outlet.

[0054] See also Figure 13-14 The present invention also provides a vehicle lamp 200, which includes a light-emitting carrier 280. The light-emitting carrier 280 is made by a light-emitting carrier processing method provided by any of the above technical solutions. The light-emitting carrier 280 includes: a skin and a core, the core is located in the skin and has suspended bubbles; the vehicle lamp 200 also includes: a light source 210, a light guide 220, a light guide tooth 230, and an optical pattern 240. The light guide tooth 230 is arranged on the light guide 220, and the optical pattern 240 is arranged on the light-emitting carrier 280; wherein the light source 210 transmits light to the light guide 220, the light guide 220 refracts light from the light guide tooth 230 to the light-emitting carrier 280, and then refracts uniform light from the optical pattern 240.

[0055] It should be noted that the light source 210 is refracted into the light guide 220 through the light inlet at the end of the light guide 220, and the light is filled with the entire light guide 220 through the principle of total reflection, and then the light is reflected from the light inlet of the light guide 220 to the end of the light guide teeth 230 from sparse to dense, so that the uniform linear light is refracted into the thick-walled part. The irregularly arranged bubbles inside the thick-walled part refract the light twice, so that the light passes through the characteristic surface evenly and transmits the light to all angles. At this time, when the human eye looks at the thick-walled part from all angles, the inside of the thick-walled part looks like a vast night sky, with stars of different sizes in various positions, which is very ornamental and innovative. And after some of the forward light passes through the bubbles, it will become more uniform, improving the front lighting effect. Due to the refractive characteristics of the bubbles, the light refraction angle is large, which also improves the viewing angle of the headlight 200.

[0056] Preferably, the light-emitting carrier 280 has a base, which is used to fix the light-emitting carrier 280 , and the optical pattern 240 is located on the other side of the light-emitting carrier 280 away from the base.
