AI Technical Summary
When the existing injection molds adjust the flow rate of the runner, it is easy to cause plastic mucosa in the runner, which leads to difficulty in demoulding. When using the throttle block, the size of the runner groove remains unchanged, resulting in waste of plastic.
A structure that improves the filling balance of the runner is designed. By providing slide chutes and sliders on both sides of the runner passage of the injection mold, the sliders can extend or retract to change the size of the runner, thereby achieving filling balance of the runner system.
This structure improves the filling balance of the runner system, avoids additional grooves to increase the tightening force of the plastic, simplifies the mold release process, and saves plastic material.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of injection molds, and more specifically to a structure for improving flow channel filling balance. Background Art
[0002] Injection molds are tools for producing plastic products. The balance of the runners is crucial in the process of molding products with injection molds. Allowing the molten plastic to flow into the mold cavity in a balanced manner is a prerequisite for producing high-quality plastic parts. Changing the size and length of the runners can achieve a naturally balanced runner system.
[0003] The existing injection mold adjusts the flow rate of the runner by changing the height of the runner flow adjustment bolt, but the groove on the head of the runner flow adjustment bolt for changing the height increases the clamping force of the plastic in the runner, which can easily cause the plastic in the runner to stick to the film and make demolding difficult. The existing injection mold also balances the runner by using a throttling block. For example, a Chinese utility model patent discloses a runner regulating valve for an injection mold (application number: CN201720055518.4). Its regulating block is provided with a runner groove connected to the runner. The flow rate of the molten plastic in the runner is adjusted by staggering the runner groove with the runner so that the molten plastic can flow into the mold cavity through the runner in a balanced manner, but the size of the runner groove does not change, and the plastic will still fill the runner groove, wasting plastic material. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, a structure for improving the flow channel filling balance is provided.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a structure for improving the filling balance of a flow channel, comprising an injection mold body, two opposite slide grooves are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the branch flow channel on the injection mold body, and the opposite ends of the two slide grooves are each provided with a slide groove notch connecting the branch flow channel, and sliders are provided in the two slide grooves for limiting sliding, the width of each slider matches the width of its corresponding slide groove, and each slider extends out of or retracts into the corresponding slide groove through the corresponding slide groove notch.
[0006] Preferably, each of the sliders is provided with a waist-shaped slider through hole extending along the sliding direction of the slider, and a fixing screw for fixing the slider is provided in the slider through hole, and the fixing screw is threadedly connected to the bottom of the slide groove.
[0007] Preferably, a step extending around the inner wall of each slider through hole is provided at the lower portion of the inner wall.

[0009] Preferably, one end of each of the sliders away from the branch channel is threadedly connected with an anti-retraction screw for preventing the slider from retreating in a direction away from the branch channel.
[0010] Preferably, a gap between a side wall of each sliding groove along the sliding direction of the slider and a corresponding side wall of the slider is no greater than 0.01 mm.
[0011] Preferably, the opposite end faces on the two sliders are both inclined surfaces, the flow branch channel is a trapezoidal flow channel, and the inclined surfaces on the two sliders correspond to and are parallel to the two side walls of the flow branch channel.
[0012] Preferably, the lengths of the two sliders in the sliding direction are different.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by moving the two sliders to the same distance toward the center of the flow channel, or by moving the two sliders to the two sides of the branch flow channel, the size of the flow channel can be changed, and the balance of filling of the flow channel system can be improved. There is no additional groove to increase the clamping force of the plastic in the flow channel, and the plastic in the flow channel is easy to demold. After the size between the two sliders is reduced, there will be no extra space for filling plastic, which saves plastic materials and better guarantees the production quality of the product.

The first slider through hole 400 is provided with a first fixing screw 401 for fixing the first slider 40, and the second slider through hole 410 is provided with a second fixing screw 411 for fixing the second slider 41. The first fixing screw 401 and the second fixing screw 411 are both cup head screws, and the lower part of the inner side wall of each slider through hole extends a step around its inner side wall, that is, the inner side wall of the first slider through hole 400 is provided with a first fixing screw 401 for fixing the first slider 40, and the second fixing screw 411 is provided with a second fixing screw 411 for fixing the second slider 41.

The lower part of the inner side wall of each slider through hole extends a step around its inner side wall, that is, the inner side wall of the first slider through hole 400 is provided with a first fixing screw 401 for fixing the first slider 40. A first step extends from the lower part of the side wall, and a second step extends from the lower part of the inner wall of the second slider through hole 410, so that the first fixing screw 401 and the second fixing screw 411 will not interfere with other parts on the mold when they are located in the corresponding first slider through hole 400 and the second slider through hole 410, and there is no need to open a avoidance hole on the mold to avoid the first fixing screw 401 and the second fixing screw 411.

The second extension part 41 extends from the right side of the bottom end of the second slider 41 to slide in the second groove. When the size of the first branch flow channel needs to be adjusted to balance the flow channel system, the first fixing screw 401 and the second fixing screw 411 are loosened, and then the first slider 40 and the second slider 41 are moved to the center of the first flow channel, or the first slider 40 and the second slider 41 in the first flow channel are moved to both sides of the first flow channel, and then the first fixing screw 401 and the second fixing screw 411 are tightened to limit and fix the first slider 40 and the second slider 41, and the size adjustment of the first branch flow channel is completed, so that the flow channel system is filled and balanced, which is very convenient. ;
[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in, one end of each of the sliders 4 away from the branch channel 2 is threadedly connected with an anti-retreat screw for preventing the slider 4 from retreating in the direction away from the branch channel 2, that is, the left end of the first slider 40 is provided with a first anti-retreat screw 402 preventing the first slider 40 from retreating to the left side, and the right end of the second slider 41 is provided with a second anti-retreat screw 412 preventing the second slider 41 from retreating to the right side.

The slider 4 has the same demoulding slope as the first branch channel, which will not increase the clamping force of the plastic in the first branch channel, thereby avoiding the difficulty of demoulding the plastic in the branch channel 2.
