Description

Technical Field

When the molten material flows from the diverter rubber channel (C1) of the diverter plate (C) and the bushing rubber inlet (B1) of the valve needle bushing (B) into the bushing rubber channel (B2) of the valve needle bushing (B), the molten material flows from the side close to the bushing rubber inlet (B1) to the opposite side away from the bushing rubber inlet (B1). Due to the presence of the valve needle (A), the valve needle (A) will block the flow of part of the molten material. The flow speed of the molten material blocked by the valve needle (A) is slower than the flow speed of the molten material not blocked by the valve needle (A), resulting in speed difference and stratification of the molten material on both sides of the valve needle (A).

The aperture of the valve needle transition hole 11 is adapted to the outer diameter of the valve needle 2, and the aperture of the bushing rubber channel 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the valve needle 2; the outer wall of the valve needle bushing 1 is provided with a bushing rubber feed groove 13 along the circumferential direction, and a bushing rubber feed position is provided in the bushing rubber feed groove 13, and the bushing rubber feed position is used to dock with the diverter rubber channel 31 of the diverter plate 3, and the bushing rubber feed position serves as the feed port of the bushing rubber feed groove 13; the bushing rubber feed groove 13 is provided with at least one bushing rubber feed port 14 on both sides of the bushing rubber feed position, and the bushing rubber feed ports 14 are respectively connected to the bushing rubber channel 12. By arranging a sleeve glue inlet groove 13 on the outer wall of the valve needle sleeve 1, the molten material is first diverted through the sleeve glue inlet groove 13 before entering the sleeve glue channel 12, so that the molten material is diverted to the sleeve glue inlet grooves 13 on both sides of the sleeve feeding position, flows along the sleeve glue inlet groove 13, and flows into the sleeve glue channel 12 through the sleeve glue inlet ports 14 on both sides. The molten material is re-mixed around the valve needle 2, and the flow speed of the molten material around the valve needle 2 is equal, thereby avoiding local shearing and / or stratification of the molten material due to the flow speed difference, thereby avoiding the appearance of yellow and white line marks on the injection molded products and ensuring the quality of the products.
