[0039] Specifically, the swivel joint assembly 200 enables the internal oil path 400 to rotate synchronously with the rotating equipment 900, meets the oil supply requirement under the rotating condition, and is provided with more oil sealing members to meet the rotating oil supply requirement. In the application, the swivel joint assembly 200 is arranged away from the rotating equipment 900, so that the oil sealing members are not easily affected by the temperature of the rotating equipment 900, good sealing performance is maintained, and the swivel joint assembly 200 is connected to the corresponding mold driving member through the internal oil path 400 in the rotating shaft 500, so as to effectively isolate the oil path from the rotating equipment 900, reduce the influence of the rotating equipment 900 on the oil path, and maintain good performance of the hydraulic system.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 In some embodiments of the application, the fixed assembly 100 includes a support plate 120, and the rotating equipment 900 is arranged above the support plate 120, and the swivel joint assembly 200 is arranged below the support plate 120 to separate the rotating equipment 900 from the swivel joint assembly 200, reasonably arrange the oil path, and improve the reliability of the oil path.

[0044] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The annular cavities 201 marked in the figure are in the state after oil injection, that is, the oblique line area is hydraulic oil.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of annular cavities 201 is configured according to the number of external oil circuit assembly 300 and internal oil circuit 400 to realize independent oil supply.

[0046] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the fixed end 210 is provided with an external joint 212 corresponding to the external oil circuit assembly 300 to facilitate connection with the oil pipe.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 500 extends into the rotating equipment 900 and corresponds to the mold driving member of the rotating equipment 900, so that the internal oil circuit 400 is connected with the mold driving member, and the structure is more compact and reasonable, and the reliability is higher.

[0048] Specifically, the rotating shaft 500 and the rotating core 220 are a metal member, and the internal oil circuit 400 is formed in the rotating shaft 500 and the rotating core 220 by machining or other means, which can reduce the application of rubber pipes and connection sealing elements and reduce the influence of mold temperature on the oil circuit.

[0049] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The internal oil circuit 400 marked in the figure is the state of hydraulic oil in actual application, that is, the flow path of hydraulic oil in the rotating shaft 500.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 500 and the rotating core 220 are integrated, i.e. an integral shaft, which is simpler in structure and better in sealing.

[0051] It can be understood that, in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 500 and the rotating core 220 can also be independent structures, and then assembled and connected, and the corresponding internal oil circuit 400 is formed in butt joint.

[0052] It can be understood that, in some embodiments of the present application, the rotary joint assembly 200 can also be a conventional universal joint or a rotary joint, which can also meet the requirements of the oil circuit rotary connection.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 500 is fixedly connected with the mold driving member of the rotating device 900, i.e. the mold driving member is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the rotating shaft 500, so that the oil circuit is basically not passed through the rotating device 900, and is less affected by the temperature of the rotating device 900 and the mold.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the mold driving member includes an ejection oil cylinder 910 and a sub joint 920, and the external oil circuit assembly 300 includes an ejection oil circuit assembly 310 and a sub oil circuit assembly 320, to control the oil supply of the ejection oil cylinder 910 and the sub joint 920.

[0055] Specifically, the sub joint 920 is used to be connected with the mold oil cylinder or the hydraulic motor, to realize the set hydraulic driving function, and the sub joint 920 is an elongated oil nozzle, so as to be extended to the outside of the rotating device 900 and connected with the corresponding driving member.

[0056] As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments of the present application, a spacing sealing ring 230 is arranged between adjacent annular cavities 201, to improve the sealing isolation effect between the annular cavities 201.

[0057] Specifically, the spacing sealing ring 230 is an O-shaped sealing ring, and of course, in the specific implementation process, the spacing sealing ring 230 is a skeleton type oil seal or other special-shaped sealing ring.

[0058] As shown in Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the inner hole of the fixed end 210 is provided with an annular spacing groove 211 capable of accommodating the spacing sealing ring 230, so as to facilitate the installation and positioning of the spacing sealing ring 230, to improve the reliability of the sealing.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an end face sealing ring 240 is provided between the inner wall of the inner hole of the fixed end 210 and the outer wall of the rotating core 220 to improve the sealing effect of the end face or mating surface of the rotary joint assembly 200.

[0061] Specifically, the end of the fixed end 210 is connected to the support plate 120 or the cover plate, and the oil leakage is reduced by configuring the end face sealing ring 240.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the end face sealing ring 240 is a skeleton oil seal. Of course, in specific implementation, the end face sealing ring 240 can also be an O-ring or other irregular sealing ring.

[0065] Specifically, the fixed shaft 110 is located on the support plate 120, roughly at the center of the rotating device 900. Through the above design, the rotating shaft 500 is roughly coaxial with the rotating device 900, making the mechanism components more reasonable and compact.

[0066] In application, after the fixed end 210 of the rotary joint assembly 200 is assembled with the rotating shaft 500, it can be directly inserted under the support plate 120 so that the rotating shaft 500 is inserted into the rotating equipment 900. Then, the ejector cylinder 910 and the neutron connector 920 are connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 500 to complete the connection of the oil circuit system. Disassembly, assembly and maintenance are very convenient.

[0067] The injection molding system according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a hydraulic system of a rotatable device according to any of the first aspects of the present invention, which can meet the requirements of injection molding products with multiple materials, and the hydraulic system has high stability and reliability.
