The first cylinder 7 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the flow channel 5, the valve needle 4 is fixedly installed at the front end center of the first cylinder 7, the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the rear right side of the flow channel 5, and the left side of the flow channel 5 is fixedly installed at the front end of the second cylinder 8.

[0020] The positioning device 2 includes a cam 9, a drive motor 10, a displacement key 11, a blade 12, a return spring 13, a support cavity 14 and a connecting rod 15. The drive motor 10 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the support cavity 14, the cam 9 is fixedly installed at the front end center of the drive motor 10, the displacement key 11 is slidably inserted into the rear end of the support cavity 14, the connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed at the front end of the displacement key 11, the return spring 13 is symmetrically fixed at the connecting rod 15 and the inner end of the support cavity 14 away from the cam 9, the blade 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the cam 9. When the raised part of the cam 9 rotates past the displacement key 11, the elasticity of the return spring 13 will drive the blade 12 to reset.

[0021] The supporting device 3 includes a photoelectric sensor 16, a supporting substrate 17 and a mold cavity 18. The photoelectric sensor 16 is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom end of the supporting substrate 17, and the mold cavity 18 is fixedly mounted on the front end center of the supporting substrate 17. Through holes are opened through the rear end center of the mold cavity 18 and the front end center of the supporting substrate 17, so that the runner 5 can be easily connected to the mold cavity 18.

[0022] The supporting cavity 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner front end of the supporting base plate 17 , and the second cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the inner rear end of the supporting base plate 17 , and can support the flow channel 5 to work.

[0023] The cam 9 is vertically aligned with the displacement key 11 , thereby improving the contact accuracy between the cam 9 and the displacement key 11 .

[0024] The front end center of the runner 5 is flush with the inner rear end of the mold cavity 18 , thereby improving the docking accuracy between the runner 5 and the mold cavity 18 .

[0025] Working principle: When in use, the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the liquid inlet of the raw material, so that the plastic liquid can be transported to the inside of the flow channel 5 by the connecting pipe 6, and connected to the inside of the mold cavity 18 through the flow channel 5. When the first cylinder 7 is started, the valve needle 4 can be driven to move to the rear end inside the flow channel 5, so that the plastic liquid inside the flow channel 5 can flow into the interior of the mold cavity 18 and cooperate with the external mold to form. Then, when the mold cavity 18 is injected with a specified amount of plastic liquid, the first cylinder 7 can be started again to drive the valve needle 4 to move to the front end. Until the valve needle 4 is reset, the front end of the inner part of the flow channel 5 can be blocked to prevent the plastic liquid from flowing into the interior of the mold cavity 18 again. Then, when the product is formed, The product can be taken out from the inside of the mold cavity 18 to complete the product production work. Subsequently, when the product is removed from the inside of the mold cavity 18, the second cylinder 8 can be started to drive the flow channel 5 to move to the rear end as a whole. When the flow channel 5 moves to the rear end to the extreme position, the front end surface of the flow channel 5 can be driven to be flush with the rear end surface of the blade 12. In addition, an extension plate is installed between the piston rod inside the second cylinder 8 and the flow channel 5. When the flow channel 5 moves to the rear end to the extreme position, the extension plate can be driven to contact the photoelectric sensor 16. There is an electrical connection between the photoelectric sensor 16 and the drive motor 10, so that the drive motor 10 can be started to drive the cam 9 to rotate. When the raised part of the cam 9 rotates to the position aligned with the displacement When the card key 11 contacts, the displacement card key 11 and the connecting rod 15 can be squeezed and displaced toward the end away from the driving motor 10, thereby driving the blade 12 to move, and the rear end of the blade 12 is flush with the front end surface of the runner 5, so that when the blade 12 passes the front end of the runner 5, the solidified plastic at the front end of the runner 5 can be scraped off to prevent the solidified plastic from entering the mold cavity 18 again. Each time the driving motor 10 is started, the cam 9 can be driven to rotate one circle, so that the displacement card key 11 can be driven to move twice, so that the blade 12 can pass through the front end of the runner 5 twice, thereby improving the cleanliness of the front end of the runner 5. Subsequently, the second cylinder 8 can be started to drive the runner 5 to move to the front end, so that the runner 5 and the first cylinder 8 are aligned. The extension plate between the two cylinders 8 is disengaged from the photoelectric sensor 16, and the drive motor 10 is powered off. At this time, the elasticity of the reset spring 13 will drive the blade 12 and the connecting rod 15 to reset quickly, so that the runner 5 can avoid interference with the blade 12 when it resets to the front end. In addition, a displacement groove adapted to the displacement key 11 is opened inside the rear end of the support cavity 14, and the displacement key 11 slides inside the displacement groove, so that the blade 12 can be ensured to move in a straight line. Subsequently, when the runner 5 moves to the front end to the extreme position, the front end of the runner 5 can be driven to fit with the internal rear end of the mold cavity 18 again, so that the runner 5 can transfer the plastic liquid to the interior of the mold cavity 18 for injection molding.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
