[0002] A water divider is a device used to divert fluids. It is usually used in piping systems to direct fluids into different pipes or channels to achieve fluid diversion and control. It is widely used in various fields such as life and production. Water dividers are usually injection molded. Traditional water divider injection molds use one-piece molding molds. Since there are many branches in the injection molding process of water dividers, the one-piece molding method may have defects and the process debugging is more difficult.

[0003] In order to overcome the above disadvantages, the prior art integrates the branch pipe into the side of the main pipe by partially injecting the main pipe. For example, Chinese patent application No. 201010527657.5 discloses a method for injection molding of a plastic manifold, in which the branch pipe is injection molded into the side of the main pipe by a secondary molding method. Specifically, the secondary injection molding is to firstly injection mold the plastic main pipe, and reserve or open a manifold installation hole, insert the metal joint into the mandrel of the water outlet of the rear mold and set it in the installation hole, and finally inject the installation hole again to form the plastic main pipe and the metal joint into one piece.

[0004] The branch pipe spacing corresponding to the injection mold in the above solution is fixed. Different users have different requirements for the branch pipe spacing. The injection mold in the above solution is not universal. In order to meet customer needs, new molds can only be opened, which increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A water distributor injection mold comprises a fixed mold and a movable mold, the movable mold having a joint positioning groove, the movable mold can move upward to form a columnar positioning cavity and an injection cavity for injection molding when it is combined with the fixed mold, the columnar positioning cavity is communicated with the injection cavity, and is characterized in that an adjusting piece is provided outside the movable mold, and the movable mold has at least two positioning positions outside the movable mold along the length direction of the columnar positioning cavity for positioning the adjusting piece.

[0008] When in use, according to the requirements of the spacing between two adjacent branches, the adjusting piece is positioned in the corresponding positioning position, the joint positioning groove is used to carry the joint of the water distributor, and the joint is placed on the joint positioning groove on the movable mold. The main pipe of the water distributor is located between the movable mold and the fixed mold. The movable mold moves upward and matches the fixed mold to start injection molding of the branch pipe. After the injection molding is completed, the first branch pipe is formed, the movable mold and the fixed mold are separated, and the main pipe of the mobile water distributor inserts and positions the joint of the first branch pipe on the adjusting piece, and then continues to inject the second branch pipe, and repeats in sequence. If the requirements for the spacing between the branches change, the position of the adjusting piece is repositioned, and then the joint of the previous injection-molded branch pipe is positioned on the adjusting piece and the next branch pipe is injected to obtain different branch spacings.
