DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] An injection mold with a multi-layer cooling structure includes a mold mechanism 1, which is used to improve the uniformity of the mold cooling effect. The mold mechanism 1 includes:

[0029] The mold body unit 11 includes a mold body 111 , an upper water channel 112 is opened inside the mold body 111 , and a lower water channel 113 is opened inside the mold body 111 ;

[0030] The connection unit 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the mold body 111 and is used to realize the rapid disassembly of the connection pipe.

[0031] The mold body 111 and the upper water channel 112 are provided inside the mold body 111, and the mold body 111 and the upper water channel 112 are opened in a stacked manner, and the mold body 111 and the upper water channel 112 are connected, and the diameter of the upper water channel 112 is 10 mm, the diameter of the lower water channel 113 is 8 mm, and the distance between the two layers of water channels is 5 mm, thereby effectively solving the problem of uneven cooling effect caused by the influence of gravity on water flow in traditional cooling systems, and can make the water flow more uniform during the flow process, thereby improving the cooling effect of the mold.

[0032] In the cooling system, in addition to traditional water as a cooling medium, liquid nitrogen is introduced as an auxiliary cooling medium. The temperature of liquid nitrogen is -196°C, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the mold, thereby improving the cooling effect and meeting higher cooling requirements.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connection unit 2 includes a plug 211 connected to the liquid inlet of the upper water channel 112 through a pipeline. The outer ring of the plug 211 is provided with a slot 212, and the first blocking component 3 is arranged inside the slot 212.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting unit 2 also includes a sleeve 221 that is movably sleeved on the outer ring of the insert tube 211, and four clamping columns 222 are installed in the internal sliding penetration of the sleeve 221. A retaining ring 225 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the sleeve 221. A sliding sleeve is provided with a sliding tube 223 on the outer ring of the sleeve 221, and a pressure ring 224 is fixedly installed inside the sliding tube 223. A pressure spring 226 is sleeved on the outer ring of the sleeve 221, and a mounting tube 227 is fixedly installed inside the sleeve 221, and a second plugging component 4 is arranged inside the mounting tube 227.

[0035] The user pulls the slide tube 223 and the pressure ring 224 squeezes the pressure spring 226. At this time, the insert tube 211 is inserted into the interior of the sleeve 221, and the clamping column 222 rises. The user stops pulling the slide tube 223. The pressure spring 226 pushes the pressure ring 224 through its own elastic force to drive the slide tube 223 to move. The inclined end of the slide tube 223 squeezes the top of the clamping column 222, so that the bottom end of the clamping column 222 is stuck in the interior of the clamping groove 212. When disassembling, pull the clamping column 222 to disassemble, thereby realizing rapid disassembly between pipes, which is convenient for replacing the mold.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first blocking component 3 includes a water-passing plate 31 fixedly installed inside the insert tube 211, a plurality of water-passing holes 32 are opened inside the water-passing plate 31, a sliding column 33 is slidably installed inside the water-passing plate 31, a plug 34 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding column 33, a top column 35 is fixedly installed at the end of the plug 34 away from the sliding column 33, and a return spring 36 is provided on the outer ring of the sliding column 33.

[0037] When the sub-connection component 21 is docked with the mother connection component 22, the top columns 35 of the first plugging component 3 and the second plugging component 4 are squeezed relative to each other, so that the plug 34 squeezes the return spring 36, and the water inlet of the plug 211 and the water outlet 2227 are separated, so that the cooling medium can circulate. After the sub-connection component 21 and the mother connection component 22 are disassembled, the return spring 36 pushes the plug 34 to seal the water inlet of the plug 211 and the water outlet 2227 through its own elastic force to prevent the cooling medium from flowing out.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the locking column 222 is slidably locked into the interior of the locking slot 212 .

[0039] In this embodiment, one end of the sliding tube 223 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the sliding tube 223 contacts the upper end of the clamping column 222 .

[0040] The upper end of the clamping column 222 is an arc surface. When the sliding tube 223 moves, the clamping column 222 moves downward along the inclined surface of the sliding tube 223 and is clamped into the interior of the clamping groove 212 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the first blocking component 3 and the second blocking component 4 have the same structure.

[0042] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] When working, the user first pulls the slide tube 223, and the pressure ring 224 squeezes the pressure spring 226. At this time, the insert tube 211 is inserted into the interior of the sleeve 221, and the column 222 rises. The user stops pulling the slide tube 223, and the pressure spring 226 pushes the pressure ring 224 through its own elastic force to drive the slide tube 223 to move, and the inclined end of the slide tube 223 squeezes the top of the column 222, so that the bottom end of the column 222 is stuck in the groove 212. At the same time, the top column 35 of the first plugging component 3 and the second plugging component 4 are relatively squeezed to make the plug 34 squeeze the return spring 36, and the water inlet of the insert tube 211 and the water outlet 2227 are separated, so that the cooling medium can circulate. When disassembling, the column 222 can be disassembled, and after disassembly, the return spring 36 pushes the plug 34 to block the water inlet of the insert tube 211 and the water outlet 2227 through its own elastic force to prevent the cooling medium from flowing out.
