Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a manifold for a hot runner injection mold, and in particular to a modular manifold formed by dividing the manifold into a plurality of manifold modules, which are then interconnected. Background Art
[0002] A plastic injection mold device equipped with a hot runner system generally has the following structure. Specifically, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the injection mold device comprises an upper mold block and a lower mold block that are separably coupled to each other, a pair of mold blocks forming a cavity therebetween, and an insertion hole formed in one of the pair of mold blocks (preferably the movable mold block). The device comprises at least one nozzle having a front end portion of an internal passage in a central direction open to the cavity. The device also comprises a main nozzle connected to the nozzle portion of an injection molding machine on one side and a top end of the at least one nozzle coupled to the other side. Molten resin supplied through the main nozzle is heated by a heat transfer heater while a manifold is formed within the device to provide a molten resin passage for the internal passage of the at least one nozzle.
[0003] In the conventional injection mold system described above, the manifold consists of a single manifold module. The heat transfer heaters installed on the manifold module to heat the molten resin passing through the molten resin channel cannot evenly heat the entire manifold module, resulting in thermal deviations across the entire manifold. This thermal deformation of the manifold can cause various problems. For example, thermal deformation of the manifold can create gaps where it meets the nozzle, leading to leakage of molten resin through these gaps. This can also prevent the nozzle from accurately meeting other components, leading to reduced precision and accuracy.
[0004] Furthermore, in conventional injection mold systems, the manifold module is composed of a single plate that is sufficiently large to cover the entire mold cavity. This results in a heavy overall weight and cumbersome operation. Furthermore, in order to minimize overall thermal deviation, the entire manifold must be heated, resulting in high heat consumption.

The outlet (203) of the inlet side manifold module (200) and the outlet of the nozzle side manifold module (300) are connected by the nozzle side manifold module (300) on one side. Specifically, one end of the connecting pipe (503) is connected to the outlet (203) of the inlet side manifold module (200), and the other end is connected to the first connecting portion (410) or the second connecting portion (420) of the coupling device (400).

[0033] The first connecting portion (410) is connected at one end to one side of the inlet (202) of the second resin channel (304) of the nozzle side manifold module (300), and is provided with a first hemispherical joint portion (411) protruding outward on the outer circumferential surface of the other end.
