Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to injection molding technology, in particular to a cooling device for an injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines or injection machines, are the primary molding equipment used to create various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics using plastic molding molds. They are available in vertical, horizontal, and all-electric models. They heat the plastic and apply high pressure to the molten plastic, forcing it to eject and fill the mold cavity. Injection molding machines typically consist of an injection system, a mold clamping system, a hydraulic transmission system, an electrical control system, a lubrication system, a heating and cooling system, and a safety monitoring system.

[0003] During the production process, switching to different plastic products is very frequent. Whenever different plastic products are produced, the machine must be shut down to clean the plastic particles. However, due to improper shutdown methods, the molten plastic particles in the barrel will agglomerate after cooling. The use of an integrated cooling structure, due to the internal pins of the barrel and the discharge port, makes it difficult to remove the agglomerated plastic inside. The existing standard design, the cooling structure on the plasticizing unit cannot be disassembled and is directly mounted on the barrel. When the plastic particles agglomerate at the discharge port, the agglomerated plastic material cannot be removed. The only way to deal with the agglomerated plastic material at the discharge port is to disassemble the plasticizing unit as a whole. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cooling device for an injection molding machine of the present invention includes a barrel 1 and a cooling assembly 2. The barrel 1 is provided with multiple cooling annular grooves 3, with sliding portions 4 formed between the cooling annular grooves 3. The outer wall of the barrel 1 is provided with multiple strip grooves 5, which communicate with the cooling annular grooves 3 and are located within a second through hole 6. The strip grooves 5 are provided on the sliding portion 4.

[0023] The cooling assembly 2 is provided on the barrel 1 and has multiple locations. The cooling assembly 2 consists of an insulating member 7 and a flow guide 8. The insulating member 7 is mounted on the flow guide 8, which is mounted on the barrel 1. The insulating member 7 is provided with an inlet pipe 9 and a discharge pipe 10. The inlet pipe 9 and the discharge pipe 10 are symmetrically arranged and are both arranged at the ball 12. A liquid inlet hole 11 is formed in the middle of the liquid inlet pipe 9, and a liquid discharge hole 13 is formed in the middle of the liquid discharge pipe 10. They are connected to external injection equipment to inject coolant.

[0024] A first through hole 14 is formed in the middle of the isolation member 7 , and a mounting portion 15 is provided on the flow guide member 8 to cooperate with the first through hole 14 . An internal thread 16 is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 14 , and an external thread 17 is provided on the mounting portion 15 to cooperate with the internal thread 16 .

[0025] Symmetrical drainage holes 18 are provided on the mounting portion 15, and a ball 12 is provided in the drainage hole 18. An annular groove 19 is provided in the first through hole 14, and the annular groove 19 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 9. A part of the ball 12 is arranged in the annular groove 19. A second through hole 6 is provided in the middle of the guide member 8, and the barrel 1 is arranged in the second through hole 6.

[0026] The cross section of the drainage hole 18 is in the shape of a frustum, and the diameter of the drainage hole 18 at one end facing the second through hole 6 is larger, while the diameter of the drainage hole 18 at the other end away from the second through hole 6 is smaller.

[0027] The diameter of the drainage hole 18 at the end away from the second through hole 6 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 12, so that the ball 12 can completely block the drainage hole 18. The diameter of the cooling ring groove 3 is larger than the diameter of the ball 12, which can keep the ball 12 in the cooling ring groove 3 and allow the coolant to flow in the cooling ring groove 3.

[0028] A high temperature resistant sealing ring can be provided in the second through hole 6 to achieve a waterproof sealing effect. At the same time, the boiling point of the coolant needs to be higher than the temperature in the barrel 1.

[0029] A fixing hole 20 is further provided on the barrel 1 , and a positioning pin 21 is provided in the fixing hole 20 for limiting the position of the cooling assembly 2 .

[0030] When the entire barrel 1 needs to be cooled, the entire cooling assembly 2 can be pushed so that the cooling annular groove 3 is connected to the annular groove 19 and coolant is injected. When segmented cooling is required, individual cooling assemblies 2 can be pushed so that the guide piece can slide on the barrel 1, thereby driving the balls 12 to move and enter the cooling annular groove 3, connecting the cooling annular groove 3 with the annular groove 19, thereby connecting the liquid inlet pipe 9 and the liquid outlet pipe 10, and cooling the barrel 1 with the coolant.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
