[0028] Such as Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, an injection mold for a switch panel with a cooling function includes an upper template 1 and a lower template 4 located at the lower end of the upper template 1. An upper mold cavity 2 is provided on the lower end surface of the upper template 1, and an upper mold core 3 is accommodated in the upper mold cavity 2. A lower mold cavity 5 is provided on the upper end surface of the lower template 4, and a lower mold core 6 that cooperates with the upper mold core 3 is accommodated in the lower mold cavity 5. The upper mold core 3 and the lower mold core 6 correspond to each other. After the upper mold core 3 and the lower mold core 6 are closed, a mold cavity is formed between them. The size and shape of the mold cavity are the same as those of the injection product. During injection molding, the injection product is specifically formed in the mold cavity between the upper mold core 3 and the lower mold core 6. A sprue bushing 7 passing through the upper template 1 is provided at the middle position of the upper template 1. The sprue bushing 7 is connected to a runner part 8. The runner part 8 includes a main runner 9 located at the central position of the sprue bushing 7 and communicating with the sprue bushing 7 up and down. The lower part of the main runner 9 is connected to a horizontal runner 10 located in the mold cavity. The middle part of the horizontal runner 10 is connected to the lower end of the main runner 9. First beryllium copper inserts 13 are provided above and below the middle position of the horizontal runner 10. The two first beryllium copper inserts 13 are respectively embedded on the upper mold core 3 and the lower mold core 6. The first beryllium copper insert 13 on the upper mold core 3 is sleeved outside the sprue bushing 7.
[0029] During injection molding, the molten plastic enters the runner part 8 through the sprue bushing 7, comes to the horizontal runner 10 through the main runner 9 in the runner part 8, then flows in both ends directions of the horizontal runner 10 from the middle of the horizontal runner 10, and finally the molten plastic enters the mold cavity. Then the molten plastic cools to form the corresponding injection product. When the molten plastic enters the main runner 9, the first beryllium copper insert 13 embedded on the upper mold core 3 preliminarily cools the molten plastic in the main runner 9, reducing the influence of the molten plastic on the runner part 8. When the molten plastic comes from the main runner 9 to the horizontal runner 10, the first beryllium copper insert 13 embedded on the lower mold core 6 cools the middle part of the horizontal runner 10, reducing the risk of fusing in the middle part of the horizontal runner 10 and improving the cooling effect.
[0030] At least one set of shunt parts is connected to both sides of the horizontal runner 10. The shunt part includes two auxiliary runners 11 symmetrically arranged about the axis of the horizontal runner 10. The end of the auxiliary runner 11 is connected to a nozzle 12. A second beryllium copper insert 14 embedded on the lower mold core 6 is provided at the connection between the horizontal runner 10 and the shunt part.
[0031] During injection molding, the molten plastic enters the runner part 8 through the sprue bushing 7, arrives at the main runner 9 in the runner part 8, and then comes to the horizontal runner 10. Then it flows towards both ends of the horizontal runner 10 in the middle of the horizontal runner 10. Finally, the molten plastic enters the multiple nozzles 12, and the molten plastic is respectively injected into the mold cavity by the multiple nozzles 12. Then the molten plastic cools to form the corresponding injection molded product. The simultaneous injection through the multiple nozzles 12 can make the feeding of the molten plastic more uniform. By reasonably setting the positions of the main runner 9, the horizontal runner 10, the auxiliary runner 11 and the nozzles 12, the molten plastic in the mold cavity can be made uniform, and an injection molded product with uniform texture can be obtained. The position distributions of the multiple nozzles 12 do not interfere with each other and ensure the overall injection balance. When the molten plastic reaches both sides of the horizontal runner 10, the second beryllium copper insert 14 cools it.
[0032] Both sides of the second beryllium copper insert 14 are provided with side beryllium copper inserts 15. The two side beryllium copper inserts 15 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the horizontal runner 10. The outside of the nozzle 12 is wrapped by the side beryllium copper insert 15. The setting of the side beryllium copper insert 15 further reduces the temperature of the molten plastic entering the mold cavity and improves the cooling effect.
[0033] The horizontal runner 10 includes a flat and wide pipe and two side pipes respectively located at both ends of the flat and wide pipe. The middle of the middle flat and wide pipe is communicated with the main runner 9. Both ends of the middle flat and wide pipe are respectively communicated with the two side pipes. The height of the flat and wide pipe is lower than that of the side pipes, and the width of the flat and wide pipe is greater than that of the side pipes. The setting of the flat and wide pipe increases its contact area with the two first beryllium copper inserts 13, improves the cooling effect, and thus improves the service life of the runner part 8.
[0034] One side of the side beryllium copper insert 15 is provided with a lower slot 16 opened on the lower end face of the lower mold core 6. A water flow member 18 is accommodated in the lower slot 16. The water inlet and outlet of the water flow member 18 are both located at the opening of the lower slot 16. A first water pipe 17 is arranged below the lower slot 16. The water inlet and outlet of the water flow member 18 are both communicated with the first water pipe 17. In order to facilitate further cooling of the molten plastic about to enter the nozzle 12, the water in the first water pipe 17 enters the water flow member 18 and then is discharged into the first water pipe 17 for further cooling treatment.
[0035] The lower slot 16 includes a lower shallow slot 161, and a lower deep slot 162 is formed in the middle of the lower shallow slot 161. The depth of the lower deep slot 162 is greater than that of the lower deep slot 162. The water inlet and the water outlet of the water flow member 18 are both located in the lower shallow slot 161. On the basis of ensuring that the molten plastic has a certain temperature, it is cooled. The lower deep slot 162 is located on one side of the end of the horizontal flow channel 10, and the lower shallow slot 161 is located in the direction of the horizontal flow channel 10.
[0036] The water flow member 18 is a water flow box arranged in cooperation with the lower slot 16. A partition connected to the inner side wall of the water flow box is arranged in the middle of the water flow box, and the upper end of the partition is not connected to the top of the inner side wall of the water flow box.
[0037] In addition, the water flow member 18 can also be replaced by a flow water pipe.
