Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an annular water channel cooling technology in a narrow space, belonging to the technical field of mold structures. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the plastics industry, plastic products are expanding and becoming more widely used across various industries, and product structures are becoming increasingly complex. This places higher demands on mold precision and dimensional stability. This is especially true for products with specialized functions, special processes, and stricter dimensional requirements. Therefore, the design of cooling water circuits becomes even more intuitive and important.
[0003] The rationality of the water channel quality directly affects the molding cycle of the plastic part in the mold. At the same time, the reduction of the cold spot will reduce the proximity of the product to the external room temperature after demolding, which will reduce the impact on the shrinkage of the product and ensure the stability of the size of the plastic part.
[0004] With the pursuit of excellence in quality and the advancement of social science and technology, the application of plastic products has become diversified in various fields. The shapes of products have become more complicated, and there are also typical parts with special structures.
[0005] Traditional 3D printing waterways rely on a dust-stacked molding process, resulting in material strength far inferior to the hardness of conventional molded parts. Wear and tear require frequent reworking of 3D printed parts, driving up costs and disrupting normal production.
[0006] Therefore, the 3D revolution of modern technology development and open optimization of molds has emerged. Especially for some strange shapes and narrow water channels, the mold life is required to be higher, so a split combination method is required for such products. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a simple, safe, reliable and highly efficient split water channel structure, thereby ensuring the strength of the mould and improving the production efficiency.
[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a split water channel structure, including a main body and a water channel body, a cavity is opened in the main body, a matching water channel body is provided in the cavity, and the required water channel is arranged on the water channel body.
[0009] Furthermore, the water channel body and the main body are sealed and connected via a sealing ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the cavity on the main body is an elastic conformal body.
[0011] Furthermore, the water channel body is made of beryllium copper having high thermal conductivity.
[0012] Furthermore, the main body and the water channel body are installed on the rear seat.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1. Water channels are evenly distributed;
[0015] 2. The water cooling effect is good and the molding cycle is short;
[0016] 3. The strength of mold parts is good;
[0017] 4. Simplification of parts;
[0018] 5. Easy to maintain and clean;
[0019] 6. Product size is stable;
[0020] 7. High thermal conductivity materials can be used respectively. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] In order to make the present invention more clear and easy to understand, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Figure 1 Conventional 3D waterway design approaches allow for 3D-printed waterways, allowing for arbitrary channel shapes. However, processing costs are extremely high, with fees charged per gram of part weight. The biggest issue is that 3D-printed waterways are formed using a dust stacking process, and the material strength is far inferior to the hardness of conventional molded parts. Wear and tear require frequent reworking of 3D-printed parts, which not only drives up costs but also impacts normal production.
[0029] The design of this utility model split water channel technology! Figure 2The water channel structure is designed in a split way. Since it is all made of conventional steel, its strength can fully meet the design and production requirements, and its cooling can meet the same requirements as 3D water channels. Figure 3 The 4 parts shown in the figure include the main body 1, the water channel body 2, the sealing ring 3, and the back seat 4. A cavity is to be opened in the main body 1. This cavity can be designed to follow the shape and is relatively flexible. Therefore, a similar water channel body 2 can be designed in the cavity. With this water channel body 2, the required water channel can be set on it. After installing the water channel body 2 into the main body 1 and pressing the sealing ring 3, the desired water channel is obtained. Figure 4 As shown, its water flow and waterway design flexibility are no worse than 3D printed waterways, such as Figure 5 As shown, the left side shows a split-type waterway, and the right side shows a 3D-printed waterway. These two designs are essentially comparable to 3D-printed waterways. Furthermore, the split-type waterway allows the waterway body 2 to be made of beryllium copper. Beryllium copper's superior thermal conductivity allows it to better dissipate heat from the part through the waterway, surpassing 3D-printed waterways in this respect.
