[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model. As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0026] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 4 The specific embodiment of the utility model discloses a cooling system for a dental braces mold, comprising a front mold cooling unit 1 and a rear mold cooling unit 2, both of which are fixedly connected to a cooling tower of an injection molding machine outside the dental braces mold, and the cooling tower of the injection molding machine is provided with a coolant outlet; the front mold cooling unit 1 comprises a first cooling inlet 11 and a first cooling well 13, the first cooling inlet 11 is located on the outer wall of the front mold plate 3 of the dental braces mold and is connected to the coolant outlet, the first cooling inlet 11 is connected to the first cooling well 13, and the first cooling well 13 is connected to the front mold core 311 of the dental braces mold; the rear mold cooling unit 2 comprises a second cooling inlet 21 and a second cooling well 23, the second cooling inlet 21 is located on the outer wall of the rear mold plate 4 of the dental braces mold and is connected to the coolant outlet, the second cooling inlet 21 is connected to the second cooling well 23, and the second cooling well 23 is connected to the rear mold core 411 of the dental braces mold.

[0028] Specifically, after the injection molding is completed, the cooling tower of the injection molding machine can quickly transfer the coolant to the front mold core 311 and the rear mold core 411 through the first cooling inlet 11 and the second cooling inlet 21 respectively. This direct cooling method can quickly reduce the mold temperature and shorten the cooling time, thereby improving production efficiency. The front mold cooling unit 1 and the rear mold cooling unit 2 cool different parts of the mold respectively, which helps to achieve uniform cooling inside the mold and reduce deformation or quality problems caused by temperature differences.

[0029] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a copper tube 231 is disposed in each of the first cooling well 13 and the second cooling well 23 , and the positions and sizes of the first cooling well 13 and the second cooling well 23 are adjustable.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the copper tube 231, as an efficient heat conduction material, can quickly transfer the heat in the braces mold core to the coolant. This design can significantly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling system, so that the braces mold can be cooled more quickly after injection molding, thereby improving production efficiency. The adjustability of the position and size of the cooling well allows the system to be optimized according to different production requirements and mold designs. For example, for molds with uneven heat distribution, the position and size of the cooling well can be adjusted to ensure that the heat can be dissipated evenly and quickly. In addition, this flexibility also allows the system to adapt to braces molds of different sizes and shapes.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the injection molding machine cooling tower is also provided with a coolant inlet, and the front mold cooling unit 1 and the rear mold cooling unit 2 are respectively provided with a first cooling outlet 12 and a second cooling outlet 22, and the first cooling outlet 12 and the second cooling outlet 22 are both connected to the coolant inlet.

[0032] Specifically, by setting the coolant inlet and outlet, the recycling of the coolant is achieved. After the coolant completes the cooling task in the front mold cooling unit 1 and the rear mold cooling unit 2, it flows back to the coolant inlet through the cooling outlet, and is then reprocessed by the injection molding machine cooling tower and redistributed to the cooling unit. This circulation process improves the utilization efficiency of the coolant. The circulating coolant can continuously absorb heat from the mold and perform efficient heat exchange through the injection molding machine cooling tower, thereby maintaining the stability and continuity of the cooling effect. Through the circulating cooling system, the temperature of the mold can be controlled more accurately. The injection molding machine cooling tower can adjust the flow and temperature of the coolant as needed to ensure that the mold remains within the optimal operating temperature range during the injection molding process.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the copper tube 231 is connected to the front template 3 and the rear template 4 respectively through threads 232.

[0034] Specifically, the threaded connection 232 is a commonly used mechanical connection method, which can form a tight and stable connection between the two components through the screwing action of the threaded connection 232. In the braces mold cooling system, the threaded connection 232 between the copper tube 231 and the front template 3 and the rear template 4 can ensure that the copper tube 231 will not loosen or fall off due to thermal stress or mechanical vibration during the cooling process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cooling system. Secondly, during the installation and maintenance of the cooling system, the copper tube 231 can be easily installed on the front template 3 and the rear template 4 by rotating the threaded connection 232, or it can be disassembled for cleaning, repair or replacement. This convenience helps to improve production efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

[0035] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a sealing ring 233 is disposed on the outer side of the first cooling well 13 and the second cooling well 23 .

[0036] Specifically, a sealing ring 233 is arranged outside the cooling well to ensure that the coolant does not leak out from the gap between the cooling well and the template during the flow process, thereby maintaining the sealing of the cooling system.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, and the second cooling inlet 21 and the second cooling outlet 22 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.

[0038] Specifically, the coolant flow design in different directions can optimize the distribution and flow rate of the fluid. The first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12 arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction are conducive to the uniform distribution and rapid flow of the coolant in the horizontal direction, while the second cooling inlet 21 and the second cooling outlet 22 arranged in parallel in the vertical direction are conducive to the effective circulation of the coolant in the vertical direction.

[0039] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a plurality of cooling channels 15 are provided between the first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12, the first cooling well 13 is connected to the first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12 through the cooling channel 15, a through hole 14 is provided at one end of the first cooling well 13 away from the cooling channel 15, and the through hole 14 is connected to the first cooling outlet 12 through the cooling channel 15.

[0040] Specifically, by providing a plurality of cooling channels 15 between the first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12, it is possible to ensure that the coolant forms an effective flow path inside the mold, thereby increasing the contact area and time between the coolant and the mold and improving the heat exchange efficiency. By connecting the first cooling inlet 11 and the first cooling outlet 12 through the through hole 14, the coolant can be evenly distributed in various parts of the front mold core 311, avoiding the problem of local overheating or uneven cooling.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, cooling channels 15 are provided between the second cooling inlet 21 , the second cooling outlet 22 and the second cooling well 23 , and the second cooling inlet 21 and the second cooling outlet 22 are connected to the lower end of the second cooling well 23 through the cooling channel 15 .

[0042] Specifically, by setting cooling channels 15 between the second cooling inlet 21 and the second cooling outlet 22, and directly connecting these channels with the lower end of the second cooling well 23, it can be ensured that the coolant forms an effective flow path in the vertical direction. The vertical cooling channels 15 can shorten the flow path of the coolant inside the mold and reduce the flow resistance, thereby improving the flow speed and cooling efficiency of the coolant.

[0043] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a concave groove is provided at the bottom of the front template 3 and the top of the rear template 4, a front mold 31 is provided in the concave groove of the front template 3, and a rear mold 41 is provided in the concave groove of the rear template 4. The front mold 31 and the rear mold 41 are divided into four parts, and the number of the front mold cooling unit 1 and the rear mold cooling unit 2 are four respectively to act on the front mold 31 and the rear mold 41.

[0044] Specifically, dividing the mold into four parts and equipping each part with a cooling unit can achieve more precise and efficient cooling. Each cooling unit can perform targeted cooling on the mold area it is responsible for, avoiding the uneven cooling problem that may exist in the traditional single cooling system. When multiple cooling units work at the same time, the mold temperature can be reduced more quickly, the production cycle can be shortened, and production efficiency can be improved.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, a spoiler device is provided in the cooling channel 15, and the spoiler device includes but is not limited to spiral blades, convex ribs or irregular shaped structures.

[0046] Specifically, the spoiler device is used to enhance the flow effect of the coolant in the flow channel, improve the cooling efficiency, and ensure that the coolant is evenly distributed in the front mold core 311 and the rear mold core 411, thereby further reducing the mold cooling time and optimizing product quality.

[0047] In another optional embodiment, a temperature control system is further included, which is connected to the injection molding machine cooling tower and the front mold cooling unit 1 and the rear mold cooling unit 2 for real-time monitoring and adjusting the temperature and flow of the coolant.

[0048] Specifically, the temperature control system includes a temperature sensor, a flow regulating valve and a controller. The temperature sensors are respectively arranged near the front mold core 311 and the rear mold core 411, and are used to detect the actual temperature of the mold and transmit the detection data to the controller; the controller automatically adjusts the opening of the flow regulating valve according to the preset temperature range and cooling requirements to control the flow of the coolant, thereby realizing precise control of the mold temperature and improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0049] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
