DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The utility model is equipped with a rapid cooling structure of a hot runner, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a mold body 1 and a hot nozzle 3, as shown Figure 6 As shown, the mold body 1 is formed with a cavity 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower part of the hot nozzle 3 is arranged in the concave cavity 100, and the water transport jacket 2 is adapted to be embedded in the concave cavity 100. In other words, the water transport jacket 2 covers the inner wall of the concave cavity 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the hot nozzle 3 is located in the water transport jacket 2. Figure 4 As shown, the water transport sleeve 2 includes a cup body 202, and a constricted neck 201 is formed on the outer side of the lower end of the cup body 202. In other words, the outer diameter of the constricted neck 201 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cup body 202. Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the cup body 202 is adapted to be attached to the inner wall of the concave cavity 100, and a water flow channel 10 is formed between the neck portion 201 and the inner wall of the concave cavity 100, so the water flow channel 10 is annular; Figure 1 As shown, the hot nozzle 3 includes a nozzle core 32, and the water flow channel 10 is located outside the lower end of the nozzle core 32, that is, the water flow channel 10 surrounds the lower end of the nozzle core 32. The hot nozzle 3 also includes a valve needle 31. The lower end of the nozzle core 32 is formed with a pipe opening adapted to the valve needle 31. The plastic fluid is discharged through the pipe opening at the lower end of the nozzle core 32. Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the water transport jacket 2 is formed with a feed inlet 205, and the feed inlet 205 is an inner conical surface; Figure 1As shown, when the lower end of the valve needle 31 contacts the feed port 205, the plastic fluid is cut off, and when the valve needle 31 is pulled up, the feed port 205 is opened, and the plastic fluid can be injected into the mold cavity; Figure 3 As shown, an inner conical surface 206 is formed on the upper side of the feed port 205. Figure 1 As shown, the inner conical surface 206 is adapted to the lower outer wall of the nozzle core 32 of the hot nozzle 3. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water groove 21 is formed on the outer wall of the cup body 202. In some embodiments, the water groove 21 can be a straight groove (i.e., similar to a keyway for installing a flat key). Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 21 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the cup body 202. Figure 1 As shown, the mold body 1 is formed with a water inlet 101 and a water outlet 102. The connection port of the water inlet 101 and the concave cavity 100 is correspondingly connected to the upper end of the water tank 21 located on one side of the cup body 202, and the connection port of the water outlet 102 and the concave cavity 100 is correspondingly connected to the upper end of the water tank 21 located on the other side of the cup body 202. The lower end of the water tank 21 is respectively connected to the water flow channel 10. In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 21 includes a first diverter tank 211 and a second diverter tank 212. The first diverter tank 211 and the second diverter tank 212 are arranged close to each other. Figure 4 In general, the right side of the first diverter trough 211 is close to the left side of the second diverter trough 212, so the first diverter trough 211 and the second diverter trough 212 are combined into the water trough 21. Figure 4 As shown, a first guide groove section 2111 is formed at the lower end of the first diverter groove 211, and a second guide groove section 2121 is formed at the lower end of the second diverter groove 212. The first guide groove section 2111 and the second guide groove section 2121 are gradually arranged opposite to each other from top to bottom. In other words, the first guide groove section 2111 and the second guide groove section 2121 are arranged to bend outwards opposite to each other.

[0020] The working principle of the cooling structure of the utility model is briefly described as follows: Figure 1As shown, water is injected into the water inlet 101, and the water flows into the concave cavity 100 through the connection port between the water inlet 101 and the concave cavity 100. Since the connection port between the water inlet 101 and the concave cavity 100 corresponds to the upper end of the water tank 21 located on one side of the cup body 202, that is to say, the connection port between the water inlet 101 and the concave cavity 100 is opposite to the upper end of the corresponding water tank 21, the water flows into the water tank 21. Under the action of water pressure and the gravity of the water body, the water flows downward along the water tank 21, and then flows into the water flow channel 10 through the lower end of the water tank 21. During this period, since the first guide groove section 2111 and the second guide groove section 2121 are gradually arranged in opposite directions from top to bottom, specifically, a part of the water flows along the first guide groove section 2111 to turn (from axial turning to circumferential turning) to the water flow channel 10 and along approximately half of the water flow channel 10. Flow, at the same time, another part of the water flow turns in the opposite direction along the second guide groove section 2121 to flow to the other half (roughly) of the water flow channel 10, and then the two halves of the water flow merge at the lower end of the water tank 21 on the other side of the central axis of the cup body 202. During this period, the merging of the water flow is guided by the corresponding second guide groove section 2121 and the first guide groove section 2111, and the water flow then flows upward to the upper end of the water tank 21 on the other side of the central axis of the above-mentioned cup body 202, and then the water flow passes through the connection port between the water outlet 102 and the concave cavity 100 and enters the water outlet 102, so that the water flow can take away the heat dissipated outward from the lower end of the nozzle core 32, thereby quickly cooling down the lower end of the nozzle core 32, that is, quickly cooling down the outlet of the hot runner hot nozzle, to avoid the temperature at the outlet of the hot nozzle being too high and affecting the quality and production efficiency of the plastic products. Since the first guide groove section 2111 and the second guide groove section 2121 are arranged to be gradually opposite to each other from top to bottom, the annular water flow channel 10 can fully pass the water flow, avoiding the water flow to one side in the water flow channel 10 due to gravity when the water flow channel 10 is actually inclined. It is also beneficial for the water flow to flow in an orderly manner in the water flow channel 10, which is beneficial to reducing the water flow resistance, thereby facilitating a uniform cooling effect at the outlet of the hot nozzle and relatively improving the quality of the plastic products.

[0021] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the first diverter groove 211 is connected to the bottom of the second diverter groove 212 to form a diverter ridge 213, which can be understood as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the middle part of the water tank 21 is ridge-shaped. Specifically, the angle of the diversion ridge 213 (i.e. Figure 5The angle dimension "X" in the figure is 150 degrees to 160 degrees, so when the water flows from the connection port between the water inlet 101 and the concave cavity 100 to the diverter ridge 213 at the upper end of the water tank 21, the water flow is cut into two streams by the diverter ridge 213, and then the water flows downward through the first diverter groove 211 and the second diverter groove 212 respectively, so that the diverter effect is better, which is more conducive to making full use of the annular water flow channel 10.

[0022] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the water transport jacket 2 is formed with a flange bottom 203, that is, the flange bottom 203 is formed at the flange structure of the upper part of the water transport jacket 2, and the flange bottom 203 is arranged above the water tank 21. The lower part of the water transport jacket 2 is formed with a constricted neck lower end surface 2011, that is, the constricted neck lower end surface 2011 is located at the lower side of the constricted neck 201, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the cavity 100 is formed with an upper cavity step 103 and a lower cavity step 104. Figure 1 As shown, the bottom 203 of the flange is against the upper step 103 of the cavity, and the bottom 203 of the flange is sealed with the upper step 103 of the cavity through the corresponding sealing ring 4, and the lower end surface 2011 of the neck is against the lower step 104 of the cavity, and the lower end surface 2011 of the neck is sealed with the lower step 104 of the cavity through the corresponding sealing ring 4. Through the above arrangement, the water flow channel 10 is sealed and enclosed in a simple structure to prevent water from leaking out.

[0023] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, a screw hole 105 is provided at the edge of the cavity 100. Figure 2 Combination Figure 6 As shown, the screw hole 105 is correspondingly threadedly installed with a screw 5, and a flange upper step 204 is formed on the upper part of the water transport jacket 2, that is, the flange upper step 204 is formed on the upper side of the above-mentioned flange structure, and the head of the screw 5 is pressed on the flange upper step 204, so that the head of the screw 5 clamps the flange structure of the upper part of the water transport jacket 2 on the concave cavity upper step 103 to prevent the water transport jacket 2 from shifting axially.

[0024] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, an inner fillet 2012 is formed between the neck portion 201 and the cup body 202, so the inner fillet 2012 is set for the entire circumference, and the first guide groove section 2111 and the second guide groove section 2121 are respectively connected to the inner fillet 2012. That is to say, when processing the first guide groove section 2111, the milling cutter cuts to the position of the inner fillet 2012. By setting the inner fillet 2012, the water flow can flow more smoothly from the first guide groove section 2111 into the water flow channel 10, and the water flow can flow more smoothly from the second guide groove section 2121 into the water flow channel 10.
