After that, the sealing block 604 is welded to the outside of the insert body 1 by argon arc welding, and then polished. Therefore, during use, the axial flow channel 601 can be used to inlet and outlet cooling water, and the radial flow channel 602 can be used to introduce cooling water into the peripheral flow channel 603. When the cooling water is in the peripheral flow channel 6 03 can cool the insert body 1 when it flows in the water, so the process is relatively simple during production and processing, thereby saving the production cost of the insert. At the same time, the first water transport component 6 cooperates with the second water transport component 7 and the third water transport component 8 to form a three-layer water transport form, and each layer has an independent water transport cooling system, different cooling time, and different cooling flow rate, so that when producing products, different cooling effects can be provided according to demand, which fundamentally reduces the product defective rate, improves the product output efficiency, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving the production efficiency of the enterprise.
[0021] See also Figures 3 to 5 , a connecting component 4 is provided at the bottom of the mold base 2, and the connecting component 4 includes a fixed plate 401, a fixed plate 401 is fixed at the bottom of the mold base 2, and a worm 402 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 401, and a rack 403 is engaged with one side of the worm 402, a synchronous ring 404 is fixed on one side of the rack 403, and the outer side of the synchronous ring 404 is slidably connected to a limiting plate 405, and a clamping block 406 is arranged on the inner side of the synchronous ring 404, and the clamping blocks 406 are equidistantly distributed around the inner side of the synchronous ring 404, and the clamping blocks 406 are right-angled trapezoidal, the limiting plate 405 is fixedly connected to the mold base 2, and the cross-section of the limiting plate 405 is L-shaped, a positioning column 407 is fixed to the bottom of the insert body 1, and a clamping groove 408 is provided on one side of the positioning column 407, a limiting hole 409 is provided on the top of the insert body 1, and the limiting hole 409 is slidably connected to the positioning column 407; The specific operation is as follows: during assembly, it is only necessary to insert the positioning column 407 into the limiting hole 409 to preliminarily limit the position between the insert body 1 and the mold base 2, thereby preventing the insert body 1 and the mold base 2 from sliding in the horizontal direction. Then, the worm 402 is rotated to push the rack 403 to drive the synchronizer ring 404 to rotate under the limit of the limiting plate 405, so that the block 406 moves to the slot 408 on the positioning column 407. Moreover, since the contact surface between the block 406 and the positioning column 407 is inclined, it has a certain guiding effect, thereby generating a downward component of force. Pull the positioning column 407 to make the mold base 2 fit tightly with the sealing gasket 3, thereby improving the sealing of the insert body 1 during installation. At the same time, through the arrangement of multiple blocks 406 and positioning columns 407, the insert body 1 can be evenly stressed, thereby increasing the stability of the insert body 1 during installation. Compared with the existing insert body 1 that requires multiple bolts for fixing, this application does not require the use of additional tools, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the insert body 1. In addition, since the helix angle between the worm 402 and the rack 403 is small, it has self-locking performance, further enhancing the stability of the insert body 1 after installation.
[0022] See also Figure 6 , a switching assembly 5 is provided in the middle of the mold base 2, and the switching assembly 5 includes a fixed base 501, a fixed base 501 is arranged at the bottom of the mold base 2, and a connecting plate 502 is arranged on the outer circumference of the fixed base 501, and a rotating base 503 is slidably connected to one side of the connecting plate 502, and the rotating base 503 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 501, a motor 504 is arranged on one side of the fixed base 501, and the output shaft of the motor 504 is connected to a gear 505, a gear ring 506 is engaged with one side of the gear 505, and the gear ring 506 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 503, a water inlet pipe 507 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating base 503, and the bottom of the rotating base 503 A water outlet pipe 508 is fixed to the bottom, and the water inlet pipe 507 and the water outlet pipe 508 are alternately arranged along the same circumference about the bottom of the rotating base 503. A fixed cylinder 509 is placed on the top of the fixed base 501, and a connecting ring 510 is embedded in the upper end of the fixed cylinder 509. A filter cover 511 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting ring 510. Springs 512 are connected to the upper and lower sides of the connecting ring 510, and the ends of the springs 512 abut against the filter cover 511. There are six fixed cylinders 509, and the fixed cylinders 509 correspond one-to-one to the axial flow channels 601 in the first water transport assembly 6, the second water transport assembly 7, and the third water transport assembly 8. The specific operation is as follows: when the cooling water enters the rotating seat 503 through the water inlet pipe 507, it will flow into the water inlet pipe 507 through the fixed seat 501. At this time, the filter cover 511 is used to filter impurities in the water flow to prevent some impurities from adhering to the flow channel inside the insert body 1 after long-term use, affecting the cooling performance of the insert body 1. At the same time, since the fixed seat 501 is elastically connected to the connecting ring 510 through the spring 512, when the water flow impacts the filter cover 511, it can cause a large vibration, effectively avoiding the filter cover 5 11 is blocked, and during use, the motor 504 can be started as needed to drive the gear ring 506 to rotate through the gear 505, so as to exchange the two states of the water inlet and outlet of the axial flow channel 601, thereby changing the direction of the water flow in the flow channel inside the insert body 1, avoiding the high temperature at the tail end of the flow channel caused by unidirectional continuous flow, thereby improving the cooling effect, and when the water flow direction changes, the filter cover 511 that originally intercepted impurities will realize the backwashing function due to the reversal of the water flow direction, thereby eliminating the need for manual disassembly and cleaning, which is conducive to improving the convenience during maintenance.
[0023] In summary, when using this water-cooling insert, first, when producing the insert body 1, since the axial flow channel 601, the radial flow channel 602, and the peripheral flow channel 603 are all composed of straight channels, it is only necessary to first calculate the drilling position and depth, then perform the drilling process, and then weld the sealing block 604 to the outer side of the insert body 1 using argon arc welding, and then perform grinding and polishing. Then, during assembly, it is only necessary to insert the positioning post 407 into the limiting hole 409 to preliminarily limit the position between the insert body 1 and the mold base 2, thereby preventing the insert body 1 and the mold base 2 from sliding and deflecting in the horizontal direction. Then, by rotating the worm 402, the rack 403 can be pushed to drive the synchronizer ring 404 to rotate under the limit of the limiting plate 405, so that the clamping block 406 moves to the clamping groove 408 on the positioning post 407. Moreover, since the contact surface between the clamping block 406 and the positioning post 407 is inclined, it has a certain guiding effect, thereby generating a downward component force to pull the positioning post 407, so that the mold base 2 and the sealing gasket 3 are tightly fitted, thereby improving the sealing performance of the insert body 1 during installation. At the same time, by providing multiple clamping blocks 406 and positioning posts 407, the insert body 1 can be subjected to uniform force, thereby increasing the stability of the insert body 1 during installation. Then, during use, when the cooling water enters the rotating seat 503 through the water inlet pipe 507, it will flow into the water inlet pipe 507 through the fixed seat 501. At this time, the filter cover 511 is used to filter impurities in the water flow to prevent some impurities from adhering to the flow channel inside the insert body 1 after long-term use, affecting the cooling performance of the insert body 1. At the same time, since the fixed seat 501 is elastically connected to the connecting ring 510 through the spring 512, when the water flow impacts the filter cover 511, it can cause a large vibration, effectively avoiding the filter cover 511 from being blocked. Afterwards, the cooling water will pass through one of the axial flow channels 601 The cooling water enters the outer channel 603 through the radial channel 602. When the cooling water flows in the outer channel 603, it can cool the product. Then, it flows out from the outlet pipe 508 through another axial channel 601. At the same time, the first water transport component 6 cooperates with the second water transport component 7 and the third water transport component 8 to form a three-layer water transport form. Each layer has an independent water transport cooling system, different cooling time, and different cooling flow rate. Therefore, when producing products, different cooling effects can be provided according to demand, which fundamentally reduces the defective rate of products, improves the output efficiency of products, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving the production efficiency of enterprises. Finally, during use, the motor 504 can be started as needed, so that it drives the ring gear 506 to rotate through the gear 505, which can switch the two water inlet and outlet states of the axial flow channel 601, thereby changing the direction of the water flow in the flow channel inside the insert body 1, avoiding unidirectional continuous flow that causes the temperature at the tail of the flow channel to be high, thereby improving the cooling effect, and when the water flow direction changes, the filter cover 511 that originally intercepted impurities will achieve the backwash function due to the reversal of the water flow direction, thereby eliminating the need for manual disassembly and cleaning, which is conducive to improving the convenience during maintenance.
