[0009] Preferably, the cross - section of the runner is in the same shape as that of the notch.

[0010] Compared with the related technology, the utility model provides the following beneficial effects:

[0011] By providing the rotating cylinder, the number of valve pins in the hot runner can be reduced, the interchangeable inserts for plugging the runner can be avoided, the time for replacing the interchangeable inserts to plug the runner can be saved, the main runner of the injection part can be plugged and opened within 5 minutes, and the unilateral production of the product can be realized on the premise of ensuring the production efficiency.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0020] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , a rapid - closing injection mold flow channel mechanism, including a lower die body 1. At the top of the lower die body 1, two mold cavities 2 are symmetrically designed, and these two mold cavities 2 are connected through a carefully arranged flow channel 3. Inside the lower die body 1, mounting holes 4 are ingeniously provided, and rotating cylinders 5 are rotatably connected in these mounting holes 4. The tops of these rotating cylinders 5 exactly intersect with the flow channel 3, and two rotating cylinders 5 are symmetrically installed in each flow channel 3. Inside the rotating cylinder 5, through holes 6 are designed, and these through holes 6 can be perfectly matched with the ejector pins. In addition, notches 7 are specially opened on the side wall at the top of the rotating cylinder 5 to communicate with the flow channel 3 when needed.

[0022] It should be emphasized that: there is an injection port in the middle of the upper die body, and the injection port is arranged directly opposite the center position of the flow channel 3, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described and illustrated in detail here.

[0023] To operate the rotating cylinder 5 more conveniently, the inner wall at its top end is carefully crafted into an internal hexagonal groove 8. Just insert an internal hexagonal wrench into this groove, and the rotating cylinder 5 can be easily rotated, thus achieving the blocking of the flow channel 3. This design enables us to flexibly close the product flow channel on one side according to production requirements, and then realize the single-sided production of the product.

[0024] At the bottom of the lower die body 1, directly opposite the position of the rotating cylinder 5, a square groove 9 is specially opened. In these square grooves 9, a limit seat 10 is firmly fixed by screws, and an annular anti - detachment portion 11 is provided on the bottom side wall of the rotating cylinder 5 to ensure that the rotating cylinder 5 does not fall off during rotation.

[0025] Inside the limit seat 10, bead screws 12 are tightly connected by threads. These bead screws 12 are arranged in an annular array along the rotating cylinder 5, with a total of four. At the same time, a groove 13 that cooperates with the bead screws 12 is also cleverly designed at the bottom of the annular anti - detachment portion 11. Through the tight cooperation between the bead screws 12 and the groove 13, not only can the rotating cylinder 5 be accurately positioned, but also the precise cooperation between the flow channel 3 and the notch 7 can be ensured. Thus, while ensuring that the flow channel 3 is completely blocked by the rotating cylinder 5, the smooth flow of the injection liquid and the precise filling of the mold cavity are also ensured.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the cross - sectional shape of the flow channel 3 is carefully designed to be exactly the same as the shape of the notch 7. This design enables the injection liquid to flow more smoothly during the flowing process, thus ensuring the filling effect of the mold cavity and the final quality of the product.

[0027] The above - mentioned are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. All equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
