[0026] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Embodiment: A toy injection mold with cooling function, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a lower mold 1, an upper mold 2, a cylinder 5, a water flow channel 11, a cooling water tank 4, a water pump 8, a water pipe 9, an injection port 3 and a water storage tank 10. The cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower mold 1. The lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are connected through the cylinder 5. The cylinders 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2. The cylinders 5 on both sides drive the upper mold 2 to move up or down smoothly through the telescopic rod to achieve the separation and bonding between the upper mold and the lower mold 1. A plurality of water flow channels 11 for water supply and circulation are vertically opened in the internal circumference of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1. When the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are bonded, the water flow channels 11 therein will be connected to each other respectively, and the middle of the upper mold 2 It is connected to an injection port 3 which vertically passes through the mold groove, and the water flow channel 11 of the upper mold 2 is connected to a water storage tank 10. The injection port 3 and the water storage tank 10 are separated from each other. The bottom of the lower mold 1 is connected to a refrigeration water tank 4 with a larger space. A water pump 8 for pumping water is arranged inside the refrigeration water tank 4. The water pump 8 is connected to a water pipe 9 upward. The water pipe 9 is divided into two sections, the upper section of the water pipe 9 is further divided into multiple branch pipes, and is connected to the water storage tank 10 through the branch pipes. The water pipe 9 of the lower section is connected to the water pump 8. The upper and lower sections of the water pipe 9 are connected by port contact, and following the separation and bonding of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, the upper and lower sections of the water pipe 9 will also be opened and connected synchronously.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a sealing sleeve for sealing is provided between the upper and lower sections of the water pipe 9. The sealing sleeve is fixed at the end of one section of the water pipe 9. When the upper and lower sections of the water pipe 9 are disconnected, they are separated. When the upper and lower sections of the water pipe 9 are connected, a sealed connection is achieved to prevent leakage of the water pumped out by the water pump 8.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a sealing tube is provided at the port at the lower end of the water flow channel 11 of the upper mold 2. After the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 are fitted together, the sealing tube of the upper mold 2 will be inserted into the water flow channel 11 of the lower mold 1, so that the water flow channel 11 between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 is sealed and connected. The sealing tube can prevent water from flowing out from the gap between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, thereby affecting the normal plastic film operation. The edges of the contact surfaces of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are provided with sealing gaskets, and the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 can be sealed and fitted to protect the complete molding of the plastic inside.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a baffle is provided at the upper end of the injection port 3, which will limit the melted thermoplastic so that it can be correctly introduced into the injection port 3 to prevent overflow when the thermoplastic is injected, thereby preventing a safety accident.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, it also includes a bracket 6 and a refrigerator 7. The brackets 6 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the cooling water tank 4. The refrigerator 7 for accelerating water cooling is installed on the brackets 6 to avoid the trouble of manually taking out the cooling water for cooling.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of cooling fins are provided on the outside of the refrigerator 7, which are closely attached to the refrigerator 7 to accelerate the cooling of the cooling water by the refrigerator 7. The refrigerator 7 can be installed detachably, and a failed refrigerator 7 can be quickly replaced to maintain its refrigeration effectiveness.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, an air outlet 12 is also included. An air outlet 12 is provided between the injection port 3 and the mold body of the upper mold 2. The air outlet 12 connects the mold groove of the upper mold 2 with the outside air. The air outlet 12 and the injection port 3 are separated and tightly attached to each other, and together form a vertical ventilated injection pipeline.

[0034] When it is necessary to perform toy injection molding, the present mold can be used. Before molding the film, a certain amount of cooling water is first injected into the refrigeration water tank 4, and then the cylinders 5 on both sides are started. The cylinders 5 drive the upper mold 2 downward and steadily close to the upper end of the lower mold 1 through the telescopic rod, and the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 can be tightly sealed and fitted under the continuous action of the cylinders 5. In the process of continuous fitting of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, the sealing tube at the end of each water flow channel 11 of the upper mold 2 will be inserted into the lower mold 1, and will be tightly fitted with the water flow channel 11 corresponding to the lower mold 1, so that the seal of the water flow channel 11 between the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 is connected. At the same time, in the process of continuous descent of the upper mold 2, the upper mold 2 will also drive the upper and lower sections of the water pipes 9 to be synchronously spliced ​​and connected together, and the sealing sleeve is tightly sleeved. The sealing fit between the two sections of water pipe 9 is realized below. When the water pipe 9 and the water flow channel 11 are respectively sealed and connected, the user can inject the melted plastic liquid with a higher temperature from the injection port 3. The hot plastic liquid flows down into the predetermined toy shaping groove after passing through the injection port 3. At this time, in the process of the hot plastic liquid flowing down the toy shaping groove, the air in the toy shaping groove can be squeezed to the air outlet 12, and finally discharged to the outside through the air outlet 12 upward, so that the air pressure inside and outside the mold is balanced, so that the hot plastic liquid can smoothly flow into the shaping groove of the mold, and under the restriction of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, the hot plastic liquid in the toy shaping groove is cooled and shaped. In the process of the hot plastic liquid being fitted and shaped by the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, the high temperature of the hot plastic liquid will be transferred to the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, causing the temperature of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 to rise. At this time, the water pump 8 is started, and the water pump 8 will pump the cooling water in the refrigeration water tank 4 into the water pipe 9 by pressure. After the water is pumped into the water pipe 9, it will come to the water storage tank 10, and after a certain amount of water is injected, the water in the water storage tank 10 will flow down from the multiple openings at the bottom thereof and enter the multiple corresponding water flow channels 11. Since the water flow channels 11 are distributed throughout the mold bodies of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, the water flowing through the water flow channels 11 will take out the heat in the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1, so that the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 can be cooled after losing the heat. At this time, the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 will continue to transfer the heat in the hot plastic liquid, thereby accelerating its cooling speed and effectively shortening the toy shaping time. At this time, the water with heat will flow back to the refrigeration water tank 4 through the water flow channel 11, causing the water in the refrigeration water tank 4 to start to heat up. At this time, the refrigerator 7 outside the refrigeration water tank 4 will cool it, thereby accelerating the rapid cooling of the high-temperature water in the refrigeration water tank 4 after absorbing heat. After the cooling water is cooled to a suitable temperature, it will continue to be pumped upward into the water pipe 9 for circulation under the action of the water pump 8, and finally come to the water storage tank 10 again and flow down from the water flow channel 11, realizing the cyclic cooling of the mold, reducing the temperature of the mold itself, and accelerating the cooling and shaping of the toy. Finally, after turning off the water pump 8, the cylinder 5 drives the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 to separate, and the shaped toy can be taken out, achieving the effect of rapid shaping of the toy.

[0035] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the preferred implementation of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications, improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
