[0105] In the present invention, the injection connector 81 is used to connect an injection device E1. The injection device E1 provides plastic to the injection connector 81. The plastic enters the injection cavity S2 through the injection connector 81, the hot manifold 82, and the hot nozzle 83. The plastic enters the product cavity S1 through the injection cavity S2. After the plastic is cooled and hardened, the plastic in the product cavity S1 forms a plastic product P1.
[0106] The ejection mechanism 90 is disposed in the base 70 and the second template 50. The ejection mechanism 90 includes a fixed plate 91, a guide post 92, an ejector plate 93, a plurality of ejectors 94, and a driving mechanism 95.

The driving rod 951 can movably pass through the second template 50 and can pass through the elastic element 952. The driving rod 951 can be used to limit the movement of the ejector plate 93 in the vertical direction D1. One end of the elastic element 952 is fixed to the ejector plate 93, and the other end is fixed in the second template 50. The elastic element 952 is used to provide a pulling force to the ejector plate 93.
[0109] Figure 2 and Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the operation of an injection mold 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, when the injection mold 1 is used to make a plastic product P1, the first mold plate 20 is first connected to the second mold plate 50. Then, the injection device E1 is driven to inject plastic into the injection cavity S2 and the product cavity S1 through the injection joint 81, the hot manifold 82, and the hot nozzle 83. After the plastic in the product cavity S1 is cooled, the plastic forms the plastic product P1 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown).
[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, the first mold plate 20 is separated from the second mold plate 50 to expose the plastic product P1 outside the second mold core 60. Since the first mold plate 20 is separated from the second mold plate 50, the elastic element 952 can pull the ejector plate 93 to move along the vertical direction D1. Figure 3 As shown, when the driving rod 951 and the ejector pin 94 move along the vertical direction D1, the driving rod 951 and the ejector pin 94 protrude from the second mold plate 50 and the second mold core 60. Then, the ejector pin 94 separates the plastic product P1 from the second mold core 60, thereby taking the plastic product P1 out of the injection mold 1.

The length of each opening of the cooling channel 36 on the upper surface 31 is greater than twice or three times the width of the central channel 35, but is not limited thereto.
[0119] The contour of the bottom surface of the cooling channel 36 matches the contour of the top surface 341 and the side wall 342 of the injection groove 34. The depth of the second end 362 of the cooling channel 36 is greater than the depth of the second end 362.
