Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot runners, in particular to a fast color-changing welded manifold. Background Art

[0002] The manifold is a component of the hot runner system, which is used to divert the resin material injected from the injection molding machine and guide it to various injection points of the mold.

[0003] However, since the runner mechanism is generally processed and formed by gun drilling, the runner mechanism is arranged in a criss-cross manner and its corners are sharp corners of 90 degrees or other angles. This results in high shear force at each corner of the runner mechanism. In addition, how to quickly change the color of the hot runner system is a technical point in injection molding production. Because the product has a variety of colors, after a certain amount of injection molding of one color, it is necessary to change to another color. If the color change is not thorough, the color will be mixed and the product will be unqualified. However, in actual use, there is a risk that the molten plastic will be retained in the nozzle after cooling, resulting in a small amount of discolored molten plastic in the dead corner being brought into the manifold together with the new material after the color is changed, resulting in color difference, rough surface, quality degradation and other undesirable phenomena in the product.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structural deficiencies are studied and improved, and a fast color-changing welded diverter plate is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fast color-changing welding type manifold to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a quick color-changing welded manifold, comprising a manifold body, the manifold body comprising a main body unit 1, a flow channel groove, an outlet, a corner, a main body unit 2 and an inlet, the main body unit 1 is provided with a flow channel groove on the upper plane, and each branch end of the flow channel groove is provided with an outlet, and the flow channel groove passes through several corners, the main body unit 1 is correspondingly arranged above the main body unit 2, and the main body unit 2 is provided with an inlet located in the middle on the upper plane.

[0008] Furthermore, a flow channel groove opposite to the main body unit 1 is opened on the lower plane of the main body unit 2, and the main body unit 2 and the main body unit 1 are seamlessly fixed by vacuum diffusion welding.

[0009] Furthermore, a nozzle body is nested inside the inlet, and the nozzle body includes a nozzle head, a nozzle sleeve, a protective outer shell, a heat-conductive inner shell and an electric heating net. The nozzle head is integrally fixed with a nozzle sleeve at the bottom, and the nozzle sleeve is provided with a protective outer shell on the outside, the nozzle sleeve is provided with a heat-conductive inner shell inside, and an electric heating net is provided in the interlayer between the heat-conductive inner shell and the protective outer shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the nozzle body also includes a nozzle hole, a nozzle hole extending into the nozzle sleeve is opened in the middle of the nozzle head, and the aperture of the nozzle hole gradually increases along the direction from the nozzle head to the nozzle sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the nozzle body also includes a positioning groove and an embedding groove. The outer edge of the nozzle hole head is provided with an inwardly recessed positioning groove, and embedding grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the positioning groove, and fastening bolts are arranged inside the embedding grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the nozzle body is connected to an injection molding machine nozzle, and the ball radius of the injection molding machine nozzle end is smaller than the ball radius of the positioning groove. The injection molding machine nozzle end is provided with a nozzle mouth, and the diameter of the nozzle mouth is smaller than the head diameter of the nozzle hole.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

When in use, the molten resin is passed from the injection molding machine nozzle through the nozzle body into the inlet located in the middle of the upper plane of the second main body unit, and flows through the main flow channel to the outlet at the end of each branch flow channel. When the color needs to be changed, the resin flow channel is cleaned by pouring water inlet material until it is clean. After cleaning, the temperature of the hot runner is adjusted to the normal molding temperature, and the color change can be verified and the color change result can be confirmed. The application realizes a smooth transition by designing the corner where the main flow channel of the flow channel groove and the branch flow channel are intersected as an arc, which effectively reduces the shear force and prevents the water inlet material from sticking to the corner.

[0022] The specific operation is as follows: a flow channel groove 102 opposite to the main body unit 101 is opened on the lower plane of the main body unit 105, and they are combined into a complete resin flow channel. The two are seamlessly fixed by vacuum diffusion welding. A large water grinder ensures the smoothness of the plane, which is convenient for cleaning and fast color change. When in use, the molten resin is passed from the injection molding machine nozzle 3 through the nozzle body 2 into the inlet 106 located in the middle of the upper plane of the main body unit 105, and flows through the main flow channel to the outlet 103 at the end of each branch flow channel. When the color needs to be changed, the resin flow channel is cleaned by pouring water inlet material until it is clean. After cleaning, the hot runner temperature is adjusted to the normal molding temperature, and the color change can be verified and the color change result can be confirmed. The present application designs the corner 104 at the intersection of the main flow channel of the flow channel groove 102 and the branch flow channel into an arc shape to achieve a smooth transition, effectively reduce the shear force, and prevent the water inlet material from sticking at the corner 104;

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a nozzle body 2 is nested inside the inlet 106, and the nozzle body 2 includes a nozzle head 201, a nozzle sleeve 202, a protective outer shell 203, a heat-conducting inner shell 204 and an electric heating net 205.

When color change is required, the resin flow channel is cleaned by pouring water material until it is clean.
