Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling mechanism for a plastic mold, including a mold base 1, a lower mold 2 is installed on the outer surface of the top of the mold base 1, a molding cavity 3 is arranged inside the lower mold 2, vertical plates 4 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the mold base 1 around the lower mold 2, a rotating shaft 5 passes through the outer surface of each of the four vertical plates 4 in a rotating manner, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the mold base 1 at the rear side, a transmission shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the vertical plate, a motor 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the right side of the vertical plate, the output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 6, a semi-gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 6, a full-gear 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 5, the outer surfaces of the semi-gear 7 and the full-gear 8 are movably engaged, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical plate, a winding spring 10 is wound around the outer surface of the rotating shaft 5, the other end of the winding spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the connecting plate, a cooling pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 5, and a plurality of nozzles 14 are fixedly connected and communicated to the outer surface of the cooling pipe 13. Specifically, when the motor 9 is turned on, the motor 9 drives the semi-gear 7 to rotate, the rotation of the semi-gear 7 drives the full-gear 8 to rotate, and multiple rotating shafts 5 rotate simultaneously. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 5, the cooling pipe 13 and the nozzles 14 are driven to rotate, and the winding spring 10 is deformed. When the semi-gear 7 disengages from the surface of the full-gear 8, the winding spring 10 resets, driving the rotating shaft 5 to reset. Thus, during the rotation of the motor 9, the nozzles 14 are driven to rotate within a certain range, enabling the nozzles 14 to evenly spray the cooling water onto the surface of the lower mold 2. Therefore, by adopting the method of water cooling and directly contacting the lower mold 2, the cooling effect of the lower mold 2 is improved.

[0023] In this embodiment, a water pump 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the front side of the mold base 1. The input end of the water pump 15 is fixedly connected and communicated with a water suction pipe 16. One end of the water suction pipe 16 away from the input end of the water pump 15 is communicated with the inside of the mold base 1. The output end of the water pump 15 is fixedly connected and communicated with a drain pipe 17. One end of the drain pipe 17 away from the output end of the water pump 15 is fixedly connected and communicated with the inside of the front-side cooling pipe 13. Specifically, when the water pump 15 is turned on, the water pump 15 pumps the cooling water into the cooling pipe 13 through the water suction pipe 16 and sprays it out through the nozzles 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the top of the mold base 1 is in a grid-like shape, and a refrigeration pipe is arranged inside the mold base 1. The other end of the refrigeration pipe is connected to the output end of an external refrigerator. Specifically, after the cooling water exchanges heat with the lower mold 2, the water flows back to the inside of the mold base 1 through the grid-like shape, and the heat in the cooling water is exchanged through the refrigeration pipe, so that the cooling water inside the mold base 1 is in a state of lower temperature, thereby enabling the cooling water to be reused.

[0025] In this embodiment, first bevel gears 11 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the front-side rotating shaft 5 and the left-side rotating shaft 5. Second bevel gears 12 are fixedly sleeved at the front end of the right-side rotating shaft 5 and the left end of the rear-side rotating shaft 5. The first bevel gears 11 adjacent to each other between the front-side rotating shaft 5 and the left-side rotating shaft 5 are meshed with each other. The second bevel gear 12 on the right is movably meshed with the outer surface of the first bevel gear 11 near the right end on the front side, and the second bevel gear 12 on the left is movably meshed with the outer surface of the first bevel gear 11 near the left end on the rear side. Specifically, when the rotating shaft 5 at the rear side rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 12 thereon to rotate. Through the cooperation and rotation of multiple first bevel gears 11 and second bevel gears 12, multiple rotating shafts 5 rotate simultaneously.

[0026] In this embodiment, connecting pipes are provided between all four cooling pipes 13, and the four cooling pipes 13 are connected and communicated through the connecting pipes. Specifically, the four cooling pipes 13 are connected and communicated through the connecting pipes. When the water pump 15 pumps the cooling water into the front-side cooling pipe 13, it enters multiple cooling pipes 13 through the connecting pipes.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the drain pipe 17 and the connecting pipe are telescopic hoses. Specifically, through the telescopic hoses, when the rotating shaft 5 drives the cooling pipe 13 to rotate, the corresponding drain pipe 17 and connecting pipe expand and contract accordingly.

[0028] Working principle: When the present utility model is in use, the plastic is injection-molded in the molding cavity 3 through the cooperation of the lower mold 2 and the upper mold. When it is necessary to cool the lower mold 2, the water pump 15 is turned on. The water pump 15 pumps the cooling water into the cooling pipe 13 through the water suction pipe 16 and sprays it out through the nozzle 14. At the same time, the motor 9 is turned on. The motor 9 drives the half gear 7 to rotate. The rotation of the half gear 7 drives the full gear 8 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 12 thereon to rotate. The second bevel gear 12 drives the adjacent first bevel gear 11 to rotate, so that multiple rotating shafts 5 rotate simultaneously. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 5, it drives the cooling pipe 13 and the nozzle 14 to rotate and causes the coil spring 10 to deform. When the half gear 7 disengages from the surface of the full gear 8, the coil spring 10 resets and drives the rotating shaft 5 to reset. Thus, during the rotation of the motor 9, the nozzle 14 is driven to rotate within a certain range, so that the nozzle 14 evenly sprays the cooling water onto the surface of the lower mold 2. Therefore, by using water cooling and directly contacting the lower mold 2, the cooling effect of the lower mold 2 is improved.

[0029] After the cooling water exchanges heat with the lower mold 2, the water flow returns to the inside of the mold base 1, and the heat in the cooling water is exchanged through the refrigeration pipe, so that the cooling water in the mold base 1 is in a state of lower temperature, thus enabling the cooling water to be reused.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
