[0003] Currently, when disassembling or fixing the valve needle of a hot runner cylinder, it is usually necessary to disassemble the entire cylinder, take out the piston inside the cylinder, and then install or remove the valve needle from the piston. However, the process of disassembling the entire cylinder and reassembling it takes a lot of time, which increases the downtime of the production line and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] The fixing seat is installed at the center of the upper surface of the piston, and the fixing seat has a cavity vertically opened, at least two clamping plates are arranged on the inner wall of the fixing seat at a front-to-back interval, and are located on the same horizontal line with the upper end surface of the fixing seat, and the connecting plate is assembled on the bottom end of the piston.
[0009] Furthermore, the length of the connecting plate in the X-axis direction is adapted to the diameter of the inner wall of the fixing seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the length of the connecting plate in the Y-axis direction is adapted to the spacing between the two card plates;
[0011] The shape of the connecting plate on the XY plane is a rectangle with convex left and right sides.
[0012] Furthermore, a sleeve is installed on the inner bottom wall of the fixing seat, and a push rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The upper end surface of the push rod is equipped with a top plate, and the top plate is located below at least two clamping plates. A spring is installed between the top plate and the inner bottom wall of the fixing seat.

The valve needle is then rotated to drive the connecting plate connected to it to rotate, so that the connecting plate is rotated to the bottom of the two clamping plates to ensure that the valve needle will not be pulled out from the inside of the fixing seat. The connecting plate extends downward to push the top plate to compress the spring. The potential energy of the spring makes the top plate always maintain an upward force, thereby ensuring that the connecting plate effectively fits the lower surfaces of the two clamping plates.
[0018] 2. For the hot runner cylinder with built-in fixed plug, when it is necessary to connect the valve needle and the piston, first unscrew the sealing cover from the outside of the sealing cylinder, then insert the valve needle with the connecting plate from the inside of the sealing cylinder, so that the bottom end of the valve needle passes through the sealing cylinder and extends to the inside of the fixed seat, then insert the sealing cover from the top of the valve needle, and seal the valve needle by tightening the sealing cover.

[0028] In actual use, the valve needle 4 is installed on the piston 3 through the fixing assembly 5, so as to realize the connection between the valve needle 4 and the piston 3, and there is no need to separate the cylinder body 2 and the base 1 during the installation process.
[0029] See also Figure 3-4 In order to facilitate the fixing of the valve needle 4, the fixing assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a fixing seat 501, at least two clamping plates 502 and a connecting plate 503; the fixing seat 501 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the piston 3, and the fixing seat 501 has a cavity vertically opened, at least two clamping plates 502 are arranged on the inner wall of the fixing seat 501 at a front-to-back interval, and are located on the same horizontal line as the upper end surface of the fixing seat 501, and the connecting plate 503 is assembled at the bottom end of the piston 3.
[0030] During actual use, the connecting plate 503 at the bottom of the valve needle 4 is passed through between the two clamping plates 502 and extended to the inside of the fixed seat 501. The valve needle 4 is then rotated to drive the connecting plate 503 connected to it to rotate, so that the connecting plate 503 is rotated to the bottom of the two clamping plates 502 to ensure that the valve needle 4 will not be pulled out from the inside of the fixed seat 501.
