[0002] Molds are various molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain the desired products by injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting or forging, smelting, stamping and other methods. Some molds, such as injection molds (or some casting molds), need to provide cooling water to cool the products during use.
[0003] Traditionally, molds are connected to cooling water sources with water pipes. When installing or removing molds from the machine, water pipes need to be connected or removed manually. Due to the large number of water pipes and interfaces, manual insertion is slow, time-consuming and labor-intensive, which reduces work efficiency.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A water inlet joint 101, a water outlet joint 102, an air inlet joint 201 and an air outlet joint 202 are installed on the water collecting block 100; a water inlet main path 104 is arranged inside the water collecting block 100, and a first control valve 103 is arranged on the water inlet main path 104. By switching the first control valve 103, the water inlet main path 104 is selectively connected to the water inlet joint 101 or the air outlet joint 202; a water return main path 204 is arranged inside the water collecting block 100, and a second control valve 203 is arranged on the water return main path 204. By switching the second control valve 203, the water return main path 204 is selectively connected to the air inlet joint 201 or the water outlet joint 102; the valve stem of the first control valve 103 and the valve stem of the second control valve 203 are both linked to the safety lock.
[0050] The types of the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203 include, but are not limited to, ball valves and butterfly valves. In this embodiment, the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203 are preferably ball valves. Through the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203, the internal path of the water collecting block 100 can be switched to a water flow channel or an air flow channel, and the internal water channel of the mold can be freely switched between the water flow mode and the air flow and drainage mode.
[0051] like Figures 13 to 21 The safety lock includes a first locking member 600 and a second locking member 602. The first locking member 600 is connected to a detachable connection structure. The second locking member 602 is connected to the valve stem of the first control valve 103 and the valve stem of the second control valve 203 through a transmission structure. A first notch 601 is provided on the first locking member 600, and a second notch 603 is provided on the second locking member 602. Fig.13 When the first notch 601 is opposite to the second notch 603, one of the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 can rotate; Fig.14 When the second locking member 602 rotates until a part of it is located in the first notch 601, the second locking member 602 can rotate counterclockwise and clockwise to drive the valve stem of the first control valve 103 and the valve stem of the second control valve 203 to rotate, and the rotation of the first locking member 600 is locked; Fig.15 and Fig.16 When the first locking member 600 rotates until a portion of it enters the second notch 603, the first locking member 600 can rotate counterclockwise and clockwise to achieve locking and unlocking of the detachable connection structure, and at this time, the rotation of the second locking member 602 is locked.
[0052] In one specific structure, the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 both have a circular cross section with an arc-shaped notch, and the shape of the first notch 601 and the shape of the second notch 603 can be the same or different, and the shape of the first notch 601 and the shape of the second notch 603 include but are not limited to an arc-shaped notch, a square notch, a special-shaped notch, etc. Preferably, the first notch 601 is an arc-shaped notch, and the second notch 603 is an arc-shaped notch. The first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 are both in the shape of a circular plate with an arc-shaped notch, which can be obtained by sheet metal stamping. The arc-shaped notch can be obtained by stamping with a circular punch, and the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and low in cost.
[0053] It should be understood that the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 are not limited to a circular plate shape with a notch. For example, the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 may also be a columnar shape with a notch on the side. The first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 have a gear-shaped cross-section with a notch.
[0054] The outer diameter of the first locking member 600 and the outer diameter of the second locking member 602 may be the same or different. Preferably, the outer diameter of the first locking member 600 and the outer diameter of the second locking member 602 are different, so that the production personnel can clearly distinguish the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602, avoid confusion when installing the first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602, and also facilitate material classification management. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the first locking member 600 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second locking member 602.
[0055] The transmission structure includes a rotating shaft 604, a first gear 605, a second gear 606 and a third gear 607. The first locking member 600 and the third gear 607 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 604. The first gear 605 is sleeved on the valve stem of the first control valve 103 and meshed with the third gear 607. The second gear 606 is sleeved on the valve stem of the second control valve 203 and meshed with the third gear 607. The rotating shaft 604 is rotatably arranged in the water collecting block 100. In order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 604, a knob 608 is provided above the water collecting block 100. The knob 608 is connected to the rotating shaft 604. The top surface of the water collecting block 100 is provided with ventilation, water flow and closing marks indicating the direction of the knob 608. The gear pair transmission structure has the advantages of high precision, small torque, small space occupation and compact structure. The transmission structure is not limited to the above-mentioned gear pair structure. For example, a sliding pair structure composed of a connecting rod, a slider, etc. can also be used.
[0056] The detachable connection structure includes a locking column 300, a locking sleeve 400 and a locking pin 401. The locking column 300 is rotatably installed in the water collecting block 100. The bottom end of the locking column 300 protrudes from the bottom surface of the water collecting block 100. The bottom surface of the locking column 300 is provided with a positioning groove 301. The outer surface of the locking column 300 is provided with a locking groove 302. The locking groove 302 is connected to the positioning groove 301. The locking sleeve 400 and the locking pin 401 are arranged at On the water divider 200, the locking pin 401 is inserted into the positioning groove 301 to realize the positioning of the water collecting block 100 and the water divider 200. By rotating the locking column 300, the locking pin 401 slides from the positioning groove 301 to the locking groove 302 to realize the connection and locking of the water collecting block 100 and the water divider 200. When the locking pin 401 slides from the locking groove 302 to the positioning groove 301, the water collecting block 100 and the water divider 200 can be separated. In order to facilitate the rotation of the locking column 300, a handle 500 is provided above the water collecting block 100, and the locking column 300 is connected to the handle 500. The top surface of the water collecting block 100 is provided with a locking mark and an unlocking mark indicating the direction of the handle 500. When the handle 500 is rotated to the locking mark, the water collecting block 100 and the water divider 200 are locked, and when the handle 500 is rotated to the unlocking mark, the water collecting block 100 and the water divider 200 are unlocked.
[0057] The first locking member 600 and the second locking member 602 have multiple matching relationships. The first locking member 600 and the second locking member have at least the following four states:
[0058] State 1: If Fig.13 , the first notch 601 is opposite to the second notch 603. In this state, the first locking member 600 can rotate, and the second locking member 602 can also rotate, but only one of them can rotate. When the first locking member 600 rotates a certain angle so that it partially enters the second notch 603, the second locking member 602 is locked; vice versa.
[0059] State 2: If Fig.14 , a portion of the second locking member 602 enters the first notch 601. In this state, the first locking member 600 cannot rotate, but the second locking member 602 can rotate.
[0060] State 3: If Fig.15 , a portion of the first locking member 600 enters into the notch of the second locking member 602. At this time, the second locking member 602 cannot rotate, but the first locking member 600 can rotate.
[0061] State 4: If Fig.16 , a portion of the first locking member 600 enters into the notch of the second locking member 602. At this time, the second locking member 602 cannot rotate, but the first locking member 600 can rotate.
[0062] When the first notch 601 and the second notch 603 are opposite to each other (corresponding to the above-mentioned state 1), the knob 608 is rotated to the closing mark position, the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203 are in the closed state, the handle 500 is rotated to the locking mark position, the locking pin 401 is located in the horizontal groove 304, the detachable connection structure is in the locking state, the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 are inseparable, and this state is defined as the initial state;
[0063] On the basis of the initial state, the second locking member 602 rotates 90° clockwise to make a part of the second locking member 602 enter the first notch 601 (corresponding to the above-mentioned state 2), at this time, the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203 remain in the closed state, the locking pin 401 moves to the positioning groove 301, the detachable connection structure enters the unlocked state, and the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 can be separated;
[0064] On the basis of the initial state, the first locking member 600 is rotated 90° clockwise so that a part of the first locking member 600 enters the second notch 603 (corresponding to the above-mentioned state 3). At this time, the first control valve 103 is connected with the air outlet connector 202, and the second control valve 203 is connected with the air inlet connector 201. The detachable connection structure is in a locked state.
[0065] On the basis of the initial state (corresponding to the above-mentioned state 4), the first locking member 600 is rotated counterclockwise by 90° so that a part of the first locking member 600 enters the second notch 603. At this time, the first control valve 103 is connected to the water inlet connector 101, and the second control valve 203 is connected to the water outlet connector 102, and the detachable connection structure is in a locked state.
[0066] The locking column 300 can be a round shaft, a square column, a polygonal column, a special-shaped column, etc., preferably a round shaft, and the locking sleeve 400 has a circular inner hole matching it, so that the locking sleeve 400 and the locking column 300 match with high coaxiality, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 to prevent water leakage. The locking sleeve 400 is made of wear-resistant material. If the locking sleeve 400 is excessively worn and the assembly accuracy cannot meet the requirements, the locking sleeve 400 can be replaced without replacing the water distributor 200, thereby saving costs.
[0067] The locking groove 302 has various shapes. For example, the locking groove 302 is an inclined groove 303 extending upward and obliquely away from the bottom surface of the locking column 300. The locking pin 401 slides along the inclined groove 303 to adjust the depth of the locking column 300 inserted into the locking sleeve 400. For example, the locking groove 302 can also be horizontal. The horizontal groove is connected with the positioning groove 301 to form an L-shaped groove. The L-shaped groove can also prevent the water collecting block 100 from being separated from the water distributor 200. The depth of the locking column 300 inserted into the locking sleeve 400 is related to the locking degree of the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200. Compared with the horizontal groove, the inclined groove makes the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 have a tensile force, and the two are squeezed tighter and locked more firmly.
[0068] Since the integrated water system is connected to many external water pipes, air pipes, electronic components, etc., the operating space of the handle 500 is limited, and the handle 500 may not be able to rotate in one direction. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the flexibility of the handle 500. As a preferred solution, the bottom surface of the locking column 300 is provided with two positioning grooves 301, and the locking groove 302 includes two inclined grooves 303 and a horizontal groove 304 (such as Figure 7 ), the two inclined grooves 303 are symmetrically arranged and gradually approach each other in the direction away from the bottom surface of the locking column 300, the top ends of the two inclined grooves 303 are respectively connected to the two ends of the horizontal groove 304, and the bottom ends of the two inclined grooves 303 are respectively connected to the two positioning grooves 301. When the locking pin 401 is located in the horizontal groove 304, the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 are locked. In this state, whether the handle 500 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, the locking pin 401 can slide along the inclined groove 303 to the positioning groove 301, thereby unlocking the connection between the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200, and the two can be separated, so as to avoid one side of the handle 500 being blocked by other mechanisms and unable to rotate to the unlocked position.
[0069] The number of locking pins 401 can be set to one or more. Preferably, the locking pins 401 are set to two opposite to each other, so as to form a symmetrical pulling force on the locking column 300, so that the locking column 300 is subjected to a balanced force and is not easily damaged by the locking groove 302. Correspondingly, the locking grooves 302 are also set to two opposite to each other, and both locking grooves 302 are connected to the two positioning grooves 301.
[0070] The water collecting block 100 is provided with a plurality of water inlet branches, each of which is connected to the main water inlet road 104, and a check valve is provided on some of the water inlet branches, and some of the main water inlet roads 104 are connected to each other; the water collecting block 100 is provided with a plurality of water outlet branches, each of which is connected to the main water return road 204, and a check valve is provided on some of the water outlet branches, and some of the water outlet branches are connected to each other; some of the water inlet branches are connected to some of the water outlet branches and a check valve is provided on the connected waterways; after the water divider 200 is connected to the mold, the main water inlet road 104 and the main water return road 204 are connected to a parallel water flow state or a series ventilation and drainage state by controlling each check valve. After the water collecting block 100, the water divider 200 and the mold are connected, the main water inlet road 104 and the main water return road 204 are connected to a parallel water flow state or a series ventilation and drainage state by controlling each check valve. The integrated water system can switch between water flow and ventilation and drainage states only by controlling the one-way valve, the first control valve 103 and the second control valve 203. There is no need to disassemble or connect water pipes during the whole process, thus reducing labor intensity.
[0071] The water collecting block 100 is docked downward to the water distributor 200, and the locking column 300 is inserted into the locking sleeve 400. The locking column 300 has a positioning groove 301 and a locking groove 302. The locking sleeve 400 on the water distributor 200 is provided with two locking pins 401. When docking, the locking pins 401 slide into the corresponding positioning grooves 301. When the locking handle 500 is turned, the locking column 300 is driven to rotate, which is equivalent to the locking pin 401 moving in the locking groove 302. When the locking pin 401 is located in the horizontal groove 304, the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 are tightened.

[0073] The water distributor 200 is provided with eight first docking ports 8 and eight second docking ports 9, which are connected one by one to form eight parallel channels inside the water distributor 200, and the eight second docking ports 9 are used to connect with the water channels on the mold. The first water inlet branch 11, the second water inlet branch 21, the third water inlet branch 31, the fourth water inlet branch 41, the first water outlet branch 12, the second water outlet branch 22, the third water outlet branch 32 and the fourth water outlet branch 42 form eight third docking interfaces at the bottom of the water collecting block 100, and the eight first interfaces face upward and are respectively docked with the eight third docking interfaces on the water collecting block 100, and the docking direction of the first interface and the third docking interface is consistent with the plug-in direction of the locking column 300 and the locking sleeve 400. In this way, when the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 are plugged in and locked, the water channel on the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200 are also docked in place, thereby realizing the quick connection of the water collecting block 100 and the water distributor 200.
[0074] The eight third pairs of interfaces are respectively the first water outlet interface 10, the second water outlet interface 20, the third water outlet interface 30, the fourth water outlet interface 40, the first air outlet interface 50, the second air outlet interface 60, the third air outlet interface 70, and the fourth air outlet interface 80. The first water outlet interface 10, the second water outlet interface 20, the third water outlet interface 30, and the fourth water outlet interface 40 are respectively connected to the first water inlet branch 11, the second water inlet branch 21, the third water inlet branch 31 and the fourth water inlet branch 41, and the first air outlet interface 50, the second air outlet interface 60, the third air outlet interface 70, and the fourth air outlet interface 80 are respectively connected to the first water outlet branch 12, the second water outlet branch 22, the third water outlet branch 32 and the fourth water outlet branch 42.

In order to obtain a larger operating space when connecting and removing the water pipe, preferably, the water distributor 200 has a cubic structure with four sides, and eight second docking ports 9 are distributed on the sides of the water distributor 200.
[0076] The water flow process of the integrated water system is as follows:
[0077] Open the first control valve 103 to connect the main water inlet path 104 with the water inlet joint 101, and open the second control valve 203 to connect the main water return path 204 with the water outlet joint 102; water enters from the water inlet joint 101, passes through the main water inlet path 104, and then is divided into four paths and enters the water distributor 200 through the first water outlet interface 10, the second water outlet interface 20, the third water outlet interface 30, and the fourth water outlet interface 40 respectively, and then enters the mold from the water distributor 200, and then returns to the main water return path 204 from the first air outlet interface 50, the second air outlet interface 60, the third air outlet interface 70, and the fourth air outlet interface 80 respectively, and then flows out through the water outlet joint 102.
[0078] At this time, the first one-way valve 1, the second one-way valve 2, the third one-way valve 3, the fourth one-way valve 4, the fifth one-way valve 5 and the sixth one-way valve 6 are in the open state, the seventh one-way valve 7 is in the closed state, the four water diversion paths of the water inlet main path 104 are in a parallel state, and the four water diversion paths of the water return main path 204 are also in a parallel state.
[0079] The ventilation and drainage process of the integrated water system is as follows:
[0080] The first control valve 103 is opened to connect the water inlet main path 104 with the water outlet joint 102, and the second control valve 203 is opened to connect the water return main path 204 with the air inlet joint 201; the air enters from the air inlet joint 201, passes through the water return main path 204, and is output from the first air outlet interface 50 to the water distributor 200, then enters the mold from the water distributor 200, and then flows back to the fourth water outlet interface 40, passes through the internal channel of the water collecting block 100 to the third water outlet interface 30, and then flows out from the water distributor 200. It enters the mold, then flows back to the third air outlet interface 70, and then passes through the seventh one-way valve 7 and is output from the second water outlet interface 20 to the water divider 200, then enters the mold from the water divider 200, and then flows back to the second air outlet interface 60, passes through the internal channel of the water collecting block 100 and is output from the first air outlet interface 50 to the water divider 200, then enters the mold from the water divider 200, and then flows back to the first water outlet interface 10, and then returns to the main water inlet 104, and finally is discharged from the air outlet joint 202.
[0081] In this state, the first one-way valve 1, the second one-way valve 2, the third one-way valve 3, the fourth one-way valve 4, the fifth one-way valve 5 and the sixth one-way valve 6 are in a closed state, and the seventh one-way valve 7 is in an open state. Fig.12 The entire circuit in the ventilation state is in a series state. The passage formed by the water collecting block 100, the water distributor 200 and the mold has only one path. The air can pass through all the passages and discharge the residual water in the passages.
[0082] The number of water inlet branches on the water collecting block 100 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. Similarly, the number of water outlet branches can also be increased or decreased. The number of water inlet branches and the number of water outlet branches may not be the same. By reasonably configuring the one-way valve, the integrated water system can achieve parallel water flow function (the parallel water channel has more energy for heat exchange per unit time than the series water channel and has higher cooling efficiency than the series water channel) and series ventilation function when used in conjunction with the mold.
