[0028] As shown in Figure 1 Figure 7 A hot runner system for thin-walled parts is used for a mold for mass production of thin-walled products. The system comprises a shell assembly 1, a support leg 12, a socket 11 and a solenoid valve, wherein the shell assembly 1 is provided with a flow distribution plate 2, a main nozzle 3, a plurality of hot nozzles 4, a water jacket assembly 5, a cavity (not shown in the figure), a plurality of telescopic cylinders 6 and a heating assembly. The shell assembly 1 comprises a first mold plate 13, a second mold plate 14 and a bottom plate 15 connected in sequence from top to bottom, all of which are substantially square plate structures. The support leg 12 is fixed around the bottom plate 15. The socket 11 and the solenoid valve are both installed on the side of the shell assembly 1, i.e. on the side of the first mold plate 13 and the second mold plate 14; wherein the socket 11 is connected with the heating assembly for controlling the heating temperature and the heating time; the solenoid valve is connected with the telescopic cylinder 6 for controlling the lifting thereof. The main nozzle 3 and the hot nozzle 4 are respectively installed on the upper and lower ends of the flow distribution plate 2, and the bottom of the hot nozzle 4 extends into the water jacket assembly 5 and is connected with the cavity. A valve needle 17 is sleeved in the hot nozzle 4, and the valve needle 17 is connected with the telescopic cylinder 6. The flow distribution plate 2 is provided with a horizontal flow distribution channel, and the hot nozzle 4 is provided with an inclined flow distribution channel 7 (as shown in Figure 4 Figure 7 The main nozzle 3 communicates with the hot nozzle 4 through the horizontal flow distribution channel and the inclined flow distribution channel 7 in sequence; the horizontal flow distribution channel is a bifurcated hole channel arranged horizontally, and the inclined flow distribution channel 7 is a hole channel with an acute angle with the axial direction of the hot nozzle 4 (or the length direction of the valve needle 17), and the horizontal flow distribution channel communicates with the inclined flow distribution channel 7. When the plastic material enters the hot nozzle 4 from the main nozzle 3 through the horizontal flow distribution channel and the inclined flow distribution channel 7 in sequence, the valve needle 17 is driven by the telescopic cylinder 6 to rise in the hot nozzle 4, so that the hot nozzle 4 communicates with the cavity, so that the plastic material flows into the cavity to generate a thin-walled part product.

[0029] ​​In actual applications, one thin-walled product targeted by this system is a transparent lid product 18, only 1mm thick and molded with 8 cavities. This product has thin walls, is easily deformed, and requires high molding pressure. Its transparent color can easily discolor due to poor temperature control. Traditional hot runner systems use side-feeding, which cannot guarantee stable molding of this product. Excessive shear force can also cause discoloration, and traditional side-feeding can also leave gate residue, requiring the removal of the sprue head. However, this system, designed for these special thin-walled products, utilizes a hot nozzle 4 (inclined runner 7) with oblique glue feeding, a customized heater (heating component), and a stable cooling component (water jacket component 5). This reduces molding risks, ensures a non-discoloring product, and guarantees a high yield rate.

[0030] In practical applications, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the water jacket assembly 5 includes a water jacket block 51 and a water jacket insert 52 connected in an upper and lower manner. The water jacket block 51 is composed of a square flange block structure at the top and a rectangular block structure at the bottom. The water jacket insert 52 is an inverted quadrangular pyramid structure as a whole, which is a special-shaped ring part used to ensure cooling at the gate. It serves as a temperature control window for thin-walled products, preventing yellowing and decomposition of the material due to excessive temperature, ensuring that the product has no discoloration and stable molding. A nozzle sleeve 8 is installed in the middle position of the water jacket insert 52. The nozzle sleeve 8 is made of heat-treated steel to ensure strength. A separate nozzle sleeve 8 is also convenient for replacement during mass production. The bottom of the hot nozzle 4 extends into the water jacket block 51 and nozzle sleeve 8 in turn.

[0031] In practical applications, such as Figure 6 As shown, since the wall thickness of the product is very thin (such as 1 mm), a limiting area 9 is added to the bottom end of the valve needle 17, and a limiting positioning area 10 is provided at the bottom center of the nozzle sleeve 8. The limiting area 9 is coordinated with the limiting positioning area 10 (the limit is used to control the depth of the valve needle 17 extending into the product to ensure the accuracy of the glue injection height). Initially, a certain gap is left between the two. In this way, the height of the bottom end of the valve needle 17 can be effectively controlled to prevent product gate burrs caused by errors, thereby ensuring the stability of the molding and the yield rate.

[0032] In practical application, the valve sleeve (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the hot nozzle 4, and the valve needle 17 is sleeved in the valve sleeve; the valve sleeve is used for ensuring the concentricity of the valve needle 17 and the hot nozzle 4; the structure shape of the valve sleeve is matched with the internal structure shape of the hot nozzle 4 and the structure shape of the valve needle 17, and the valve sleeve is in the shape of a T-shaped sleeve or a columnar sleeve, and the bottom shape structure (for avoiding the inclined flow distribution channel 7) can be in the shape structure that a cylindrical bottom is inclinedly cut to remove a part. The valve sleeve is provided with an exhaust groove, so that the valve needle 17 is conveniently installed; the exhaust groove is a columnar hole, and a plurality of exhaust grooves can be arranged in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the valve sleeve. By arranging the inclined flow distribution channel 7, the valve sleeve and the like, the concentricity of the valve needle 17 is ensured by the glue feeding mode, the uniformity of product forming is ensured, and the glue feeding amount in the high-speed and high-pressure forming environment of the product is ensured.

[0033] In practical application, the heating assembly includes a heating wire and a heating pipe and the like, and is used for heating plastic materials. The hot nozzle 4 is wrapped with a copper sleeve 16, and the copper sleeve 16 is provided with a continuous and spiral groove group. The heating wire is embedded in the groove group, and the heating wire is wound on the outer ring of the hot nozzle 4. The heating pipe is arranged on the flow distribution plate 2.

[0034] In practical application, the number and arrangement form of the hot nozzles 4 and the telescopic cylinders 6 are matched, and the hot nozzles 4 and the telescopic cylinders 6 are each eight, and are arranged in a rectangular array. The main nozzle 3 is located at the center of symmetry of the eight hot nozzles 4 or the eight telescopic cylinders 6. The flow distribution plate 2 is an integrally formed plate. With the main nozzle 3 in the center of the flow distribution plate 2 as a reference, the flow distribution plate 2 can be divided into a symmetrical left flow distribution plate region and a right flow distribution plate region, and the two regions are both in the shape of a U-shaped plate. One hot nozzle 4 is arranged at each corner of the left flow distribution plate region, and one hot nozzle 4 is arranged at each corner of the right flow distribution plate region. The main nozzle 3 and the telescopic cylinder 6 are arranged in the first mold plate 13. The flow distribution plate 2 and the hot nozzle 4 are arranged in the second mold plate 14, and the cavity and the water jacket assembly 5 are arranged in the bottom plate 15. The main nozzle 3 passes through the center of the first mold plate 13, and then is connected with the hot nozzle 4 provided with the inclined flow distribution channel 7 through the horizontal flow distribution channel in the flow distribution plate 2. The cylinder body end of the telescopic cylinder 6 is fixedly arranged in the first mold plate 13, and the telescopic cylinder 6 is connected with the valve needle 17 in the hot nozzle 4.

[0035] The utility model has the advantages that:

[0036] 1. By arranging the inclined flow distribution channel 7 and the water jacket assembly 5, the system can be applied to mass production of thin-walled products, can reduce the forming risk, ensure the stability of product forming, ensure that the products are free of color difference, and ensure the yield;

[0037] 2. By increasing the limiting region 9 at the bottom end of the valve needle 17, the system can prevent the product flash caused by errors, ensure the stability of forming, and ensure the yield;

[0038] 3. By setting the valve sleeve, exhaust groove, etc., the system can ensure the concentricity of the valve needle 17 while facilitating its installation, ensuring the uniformity of product molding, and ensuring the amount of glue into the high-speed high-pressure molding environment.

[0039] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes, combinations or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
