[0002] In the field of plastic injection molding, in order to facilitate the control of the temperature in the plastic mold, a cooling water channel is usually opened in the mold core of the plastic mold. The temperature is controlled by circulating the cooling water in the cooling water channel. In the mold core near the parting surface, the circulating water pipe is closer to the parting surface due to processing design and other issues. The circulating water pipe near the parting surface is prone to rupture during use. The closer to the parting surface, the more likely it is to rupture with the increase of the use cycle. Once the circulating water pipe is broken, the entire mold core will be scrapped. After scrapping, it is necessary to replace the new mold core or even the entire mold, which will increase the production cost for users. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods:

[0019] The mold core 1 of the plastic mold is provided with a circulating water path 4 for realizing water cooling circulation. Figure 1As shown, the circulating water enters the circulating water circuit 4 along the water inlet pipe 3, and the water circulates in the circulating pipe 4 to achieve the purpose of water cooling. The circulating water circulates through the circulating water circuit and then is discharged from the outlet pipe. With the use of the mold, a thinning area is easily formed near the parting surface of the circulating water circuit, so it may rupture later. The crack position 5 of the circulating water circuit is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the circulating water channel 4 at the parting surface 2 of the mold core 1 is cracked. Usually, after the circulating water channel is broken, the mold core cannot be used any more and has to be scrapped.

[0020] Based on this, this embodiment provides an insert for repairing cracks in a plastic mold water channel, which is used to repair the circulating water channel at the edge of the parting surface of the mold core, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes an insert body, which has an upper end face 6, a lower end face 7, a front side face 8, a rear side face 9, a left side face 10 and a right side face 11. The upper end face 6, the lower end face 7, the front side face 8 and the rear side face 9 are all rectangular faces, the left side face 10 and the right side face 11 are right-angled trapezoidal faces, the upper end face 6 is arranged parallel to the lower end face 7, the left side face 10 is arranged parallel to the right side face 11, the rear side face, the left side face and the right side face are arranged vertically, the upper side face and the lower side face are arranged horizontally, the front side face is an inclined slope, the front side face is inclined relative to the rear side face, and the angle between the front side face and the rear side face is 15°-25°.

[0021] The lower end face of the insert body gradually converges toward the upper end face to form a wedge-shaped structure. A tube structure 12 is arranged transversely and penetrates the opposite sides of the insert body in the insert body. The two ends of the tube structure 12 are formed on the front side 8 and the rear side 9, respectively. The tube structure 12 is provided with a plug 21 for pipe plugging at one end of the rear side 9. The plug can be an expansion plug, a threaded plug, etc., to achieve the plugging of one end of the tube structure 12. A sealing ring 13 is arranged at one end of the front side 8 of the tube structure 12. The sealing ring 13 is a common rubber ring. The sealing ring 13 is located at the outer contour position of the tube structure. A sealing ring installation groove 14 is arranged on the front side 8. The sealing ring 13 is inserted into the sealing ring installation groove 14. After the sealing ring 13 is inserted into the sealing ring installation groove 14, a part of the sealing ring 13 will protrude from the surface of the front side 8, which is convenient for subsequent squeezing of the sealing ring 13 to form a sealing effect.

[0022] The insert body is provided with vertical guide strips 15 on both sides of the tube structure 12 . The guide strips 15 are vertically arranged on the left side 10 and the right side 11 and protrude outward relative to the left side 10 and the right side 11 . The guide strips 15 are rectangular parallelepiped structures.

[0023] When the insert of the utility model is used, the parting surface of the mold core at the cracking position of the circulating water channel is cut off to form a notch 16, such as Figure 4As shown, the shape of the notch 16 matches the shape and size of the insert body; a guide groove 17 is provided in the notch 16 corresponding to the guide strip 15, and the original circulating water channel in the mold core is cut off when the notch is formed to form an end 18 of the circulating water channel in the notch, and the insert is inserted into the notch 16, and the end 18 of the circulating water channel is aligned with one end of the sealing ring 13 set on the pipe structure 12, and the sealing ring 13 is squeezed by the notch 16 of the mold core and the front side 8, so that the connection between one end of the sealing ring 13 set on the pipe structure 12 and the end 18 is realized and the water tightness at the connection position is ensured.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, in order to control the accuracy of the insert being installed in the notch, the left and right sides of the insert body are respectively provided with stop blocks 19 near the lower end face, and the lower end face of the mold core is also provided with a stop groove 20 matching the stop block 19 near the edge of the notch 16. In this embodiment, the stop block 19 is a rectangular block, and the stop block 19 is embedded in the stop groove 20 when the insert is inserted into the notch 16. When the insert is inserted into the notch 16, it is inserted into the notch 16 from the lower end face of the mold core. After the insert is inserted into the notch 16, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the material of the insert is selected from the same metal material as the mold core, such as iron, steel, hard alloy, etc. When processing the insert, the insert is processed according to the size and shape of the notch, and the notch can also be cut according to the insert.

[0025] This embodiment is only a further explanation of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to the embodiment as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the utility model, it will be protected by the patent law.
