A dovetail guide rail 121 is provided on the rear side wall of the track bar 12. Two dovetail grooves 51 are symmetrically provided on the front side wall of the front mold core 5. The two dovetail grooves 51 on the front mold core 5 are respectively slidably clamped on the corresponding dovetail guide rails 121. Semi-cylindrical forming cavities 52 with the same number as the mold core 4 are provided on the side walls of the two front mold cores 5. A number of inclined guide posts 21 are provided on both sides of the rear mold 2. A rear baffle 22 is provided on the rear side wall of the rear mold 2. The rear baffle 22 blocks the inclined guide posts 21. A number of inclined guide holes 53 with the same number as the inclined guide posts 21 are provided on the front mold core 5. A number of avoidance grooves 13 with the same number as the inclined guide posts 21 on the same side as the rear mold 2 are provided on both sides of the front mold 1. The two front mold cores 5 are slidably clamped on the inclined guide posts 21 on the same side through the inclined guide holes 53. The inclined guide posts 21 extend into the avoidance grooves 13 on the same side in the front mold 1. A positioning groove is provided on the rear mold 2.

Two rows of positioning holes are symmetrically provided in the rear mold 2. A hexagonal hole is provided on the positioning hole. A positioning pull rod 23 is penetrated in the positioning hole. A hexagonal pull rod head is provided on the positioning pull rod 23. The hexagonal pull rod head is snapped into the hexagonal hole and abuts against the rear baffle 22. An internal thread hole 231 is provided in the positioning pull rod 23. Two rows of T-shaped limiting holes are symmetrically provided in the rear mold core 6. The positioning pull rod 23 extends into the corresponding T-shaped limiting holes. An internal hexagonal bolt 62 is penetrated in the T-shaped limiting hole. The internal hexagonal bolt 62 is threadedly connected to the internal thread hole 231 in the positioning pull rod 23 and abuts against the T-shaped limiting hole.

[0019] When performing injection molding, the front mold 1 drives the mold core column 3 and the front mold core 5 to move backward to close the mold with the rear mold 2. During this process, the two front mold cores 5 will be aligned under the guiding action of the inclined guide pillar 21. The semi-cylindrical forming cavities 52 on the two front mold cores 5 are aligned to form a complete front forming cavity. The front forming cavity surrounds the mold core 4 and there is a first forming gap between the front forming cavity and the mold core 4. When the front mold 1 and the rear mold 2 are closed, the two aligned front mold cores 5 and the rear mold core 6 are also closed at the same time. The front forming cavity is connected to the rear forming cavity 61. There is a second forming gap between the mold core 4 and the rear forming cavity 61, which is connected to the first forming gap. The molten plastic flows from the runner groove in the front mold 1 into the runner 31 of the mold core column 3, then flows from the runner 31 into the gate 42 of the mold core 4, and finally the molten plastic flows into the first forming gap and the second forming gap to form a bottle cap. A sprue is formed between the inner wall of the bottle cap and the gate 42. After cooling, the front mold 1 and the rear mold 2 are opened. The two front mold cores 5 are separated under the guiding action of the inclined guide pillar 21. The mold core 4 and the front mold core 5 move away from the rear mold core 6 at the same time. The bottle cap is sleeved on the mold core 4, and then a strong pull mold is used to demold the bottle cap from the mold core 4. Since the discharge port of the gate 42 is located on the side wall of the mold core 4, when the bottle cap is pulled and demolded, the gate 42 will apply a shearing force to the sprue between the inner wall of the bottle cap and the gate 42, so as to shear off the sprue flush with the inner wall of the bottle cap, ensuring the flatness of the inner wall of the bottle cap, and the outer wall of the bottle cap is a complete smooth surface, which can ensure the beauty of the bottle cap.

[0020] When different specifications of bottle caps need to be produced, the mold core 4, the front mold core 5 and the rear mold core 6 need to be replaced. At this time, only need to keep the front mold 1 and the rear mold 2 in the open state. First, remove the baffle plate 11, unscrew the mold core 4 from the mold core column 3 and replace it with a new mold core 4. Fix the baffle plate 11 back on the front mold 1. Then remove the rear baffle plate 22, pull out the inclined guide pillar 21 from the inclined guide hole 53 of the front mold core 5, slide the front mold core 5 away from the track bar 12, slide and snap the new front mold core 5 onto the track bar 12, snap the inclined guide pillar 21 into the inclined guide hole 53 of the new front mold core 5, and then fix the rear baffle plate 22 back on the rear mold 2. Finally, unscrew the hexagon socket head bolt 62 in the T-shaped limit hole to release the restriction on the rear mold core 6, remove the rear mold core 6 from the rear mold 2, reinstall the new rear mold core 6 in the positioning groove of the rear mold 2 and sleeve it on each positioning pull rod 23, and fix and lock the new rear mold core 6 with the hexagon socket head bolt 62. In this way, when replacing the mold core 4, the front mold core 5 and the rear mold core 6, it is not necessary to disassemble and assemble the whole mold, which simplifies the replacement process and improves the replacement efficiency. When the mold core 4, the front mold core 5 and the rear mold core 6 need to be maintained, it is also convenient to disassemble them for maintenance.

[0021] In order to improve the cooling efficiency after the bottle cap is formed, a first cooling water channel 14 is provided on the front mold 1. A second cooling water channel 34 that is connected to the first cooling water channel 14 and penetrates through the mold core column 3 is provided on the front side wall of the mold core column 3. A first sealing ring 33 is provided on the front side wall of the mold core column 3. The mold core column 3 is hermetically attached to the front mold 1 through the first sealing ring 33. The connection part of the second cooling water channel 34 and the first cooling water channel 14 is located within the first sealing ring 33. When the cooling water enters the second cooling water channel 34 from the first cooling water channel 14, it can prevent leakage between the front mold 1 and the mold core column 3. An annular flow channel 44 that is connected to the second cooling water channel 34 is provided in the positioning ring groove 41 of the mold core 4. A plurality of cooling grooves 45 that are connected to the annular flow channel 44 are circumferentially and evenly distributed on the mold core 4. Two second sealing rings 46 are provided on the front side wall of the mold core 4. The annular flow channel 44 is located between the two second sealing rings 46. The mold core 4 is hermetically attached to the mold core column 3 through the two second sealing rings 46. When the cooling water enters the annular flow channel 44 from the second cooling water channel 34 and flows, it can prevent leakage between the mold core 4 and the mold core column 3. After the injection molding is completed, the cooling water enters the annular flow channel 44 through the first cooling water channel 14 and the second cooling water channel 34 in the front mold 1. After passing through the annular flow channel 44, the cooling water enters the multiple cooling grooves 45 of the mold core 4 to uniformly cool the mold core 4 and the bottle cap on the mold core 4.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: the specific implementation manners of the present invention can still be modified or equivalently replaced, and any modification or equivalent replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be covered by the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
