[0002] A hot runner is a heating component system used in injection molds. Its main function is to inject melted plastic particles into the mold cavity. The hot runner heating structure refers to the heating elements and control system in the hot runner system, which are used to maintain the molten state and temperature control of the plastic in the runner. These structures usually include heating elements (such as heating wires or heating tubes) and hot plates. By precisely controlling the temperature of the heating structure, the plastic can flow smoothly during the injection molding process and achieve the desired molding effect.
[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN207327493U discloses a heating structure of a hot runner system. The patent records that the cross-section through the die hole is circular, and the outer circumferential wall of the heating tube is provided with a wiring groove along its axial direction. The outer circumferential wall of the heating tube is provided with heating grooves on both sides of the wiring groove. One end of the heating groove is connected to the wiring groove. A heating wire is embedded in the heating groove. One end of the heating wire passes through the wiring groove on the heating tube located above it and extends to the outside of the mold. When multiple heating tubes are sleeved on the hot nozzle, the wiring groove is provided to prevent the heating wire from touching the die hole. Compared with machining the mold, machining the wiring groove is simpler and has a lower cost.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] Embodiment 1: A hot runner heating structure includes a protective tube sleeve 1, the top of the protective tube sleeve 1 is snap-connected with a fixing ring 2, the top of the fixing ring 2 is installed with a sealing ring 3, the top of the sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected with a joint 4, and the top of the joint 4 is provided with a plastic connection port 5. The combination of the protective tube sleeve 1, the fixing ring 2, the sealing ring 3 and the joint 4 constitutes a stable and sealed heating frame. The protective tube sleeve 1 is snap-connected with the fixing ring 2, the top of the fixing ring 2 is installed with a sealing ring 3, and the sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the joint 4, ensuring that the heat inside the heating system will not be lost, while effectively preventing To prevent the influence of the external environment on the heating area, and to ensure that the plastic melt flows and is heated in a stable thermal environment, a branch pipe 12 is installed inside the protective tube sleeve 1, and a limiting groove is provided inside the branch pipe 12. A heat-conducting copper pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting groove. The top of the branch pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 9, and a connecting port 10 is provided inside the limiting ring 9. The heat-conducting copper pipe 11 installed inside the branch pipe 12 is the core component of the heating. The heat-conducting copper pipe 11 is fixedly connected through the internal limiting groove, which can effectively conduct heat to the plastic melt flowing through. The plastic port 5 is connected to the connecting port 5. The port 10 is relatively vertically configured. This design ensures smooth entry of the plastic melt and uniform heating throughout the entire flow process. This precise heat control not only improves the quality and consistency of the molded parts, but also can be flexibly adjusted according to different plastic types and production requirements. A chassis 6 is installed at the bottom of the protective tube sleeve 1. A tapered port 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 6. The function of the tapered port 7 is to fixedly connect the chassis 6 and the nozzle 8. It is located at the bottom of the chassis 6 and ensures a stable mechanical connection so that the nozzle 8 can accurately dock with the nozzle 8 of the injection molding machine and maintain a stable position and angle. This design ensures that the melt can be accurately injected into the mold, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the molded parts. The bottom of the tapered port 7 is fixedly connected with the nozzle 8. The nozzle 8 is a key component in the hot runner system responsible for injecting the heated plastic melt into the mold. It is installed at the top of the tapered port 7. Through precise design and processing, the stability and uniformity of the melt flow are ensured. The design of the nozzle 8 not only affects the flow and injection speed of the melt, but is also directly related to the surface quality and structural integrity of the molded parts.
[0026] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that, the bottom of the chassis 6 is fixedly connected with a buckle 14, and the limiting groove is a key component for fixing the heat-conducting copper tube 11 inside the branch tube 12. Its design enables the heat-conducting copper tube 11 to be accurately installed inside the branch tube 12, ensuring the efficiency and stability of heat conduction. The existence of the limiting groove effectively prevents the heat-conducting copper tube 11 from moving or dislocating during operation, thereby ensuring that heat can be conducted to the plastic melt according to the design requirements. A socket 13 is opened on the top of the chassis 6, and the socket 13 is in a ring array, and the shape of the socket 13 is a circular through hole, which is connected to the plastic port 5 The branch pipe 12 is arranged vertically relative to the connecting port 10. It is made of copper. Copper is an excellent thermal conductive material that can quickly and evenly transfer the heat transmitted by the heater to the plastic melt, ensuring that the melt maintains a stable temperature and uniform heating state during the flow process. The branch pipe 12 is an important component of the hot runner system. Its main function is to connect the pipeline between the main channel and the nozzle 8. It ensures that the melt flows smoothly from the main channel to the nozzle 8, while maintaining heat conduction and stability during the flow process, thereby ensuring uniform heating and flow of the plastic melt during the injection molding process. The buckle 14 is installed inside the nozzle 8.
[0027] During operation, a stable and sealed heating frame is constructed by the combination of the protective tube sleeve 1, the fixing ring 2, the sealing ring 3 and the joint 4. Among them, the heat-conducting copper tube 11 installed in the branch pipe 12 is the core component of the heating, which can effectively transfer heat to the plastic melt flowing through. The vertical configuration of the plastic port 5 and the connecting port 10 ensures smooth entry and uniform heating of the melt. The design of the chassis 6, the tapered port 7 and the nozzle 8 ensures the stable connection between the equipment and the injection molding machine and the precise injection of the melt. The buckle 14 added to the bottom of the chassis 6 and the annular array of sockets 13 improve the stability and ease of operation of the equipment, and improve the efficiency of heat conduction and melt flow. These components together ensure that the equipment can operate efficiently and stably during the injection molding process, thereby improving production efficiency and the quality level of molded parts.
