Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, and more specifically, to a valve needle structure. Background Technology
[0002] When using a hot nozzle to inject plastic fluid into the mold cavity, a valve needle structure is usually required to close or open the gate. The valve needle structure includes a valve needle sleeve and a valve needle fitted inside the valve needle sleeve. The valve needle sleeve is used to fix the valve needle and guide its movement.
[0003] Currently, when the valve needle reciprocates within the valve needle sleeve, the valve needle lacks a positioning component in the middle. This causes the valve needle's movement trajectory to deviate over long-term use, resulting in damage to the valve needle hole and consequently, damage to the valve needle sleeve. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a valve needle structure that, through the setting of a positioning block, ensures that the needle body always moves in a vertical direction, preventing the needle body from shifting and causing damage to the needle hole on the needle tube, thereby damaging the valve needle body. In addition, the ball bearings on the positioning block change the original sliding friction between the positioning block and the needle body into rolling friction, reducing the wear of the positioning block on the needle body and thus improving the service life of the needle body.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A valve needle structure includes a valve needle body, which is composed of a base and a needle tube. The bottom surface of the needle tube mates with the top surface of the base. A concave cavity is formed inside the base. A first material guide cavity located outside the concave cavity is symmetrically formed inside the base. A hydraulic cylinder is disposed inside the concave cavity. A confluence cavity communicating with the two second material guide cavities is formed inside the needle tube. An interface is provided on the bottom surface of the base. A needle hole matching the needle body is formed at the top of the needle tube. A positioning block that slides in contact with the outer wall of the needle body is symmetrically fixed to the inner wall of the confluence cavity.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that both of the two guide cavities, the first guide cavity and the second guide cavity, are arranged in an arc-shaped V-shape.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the lower ends of the two material guiding cavities converge and are connected to the interface.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of smooth keyways are uniformly formed on the outer side wall of the top end of the needle body.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the opposite sidewalls of the two positioning blocks are both arc-shaped.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that each of the two positioning blocks has a plurality of rotatable balls on one side wall opposite to each other.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that multiple through holes are provided on the top surface of both positioning blocks.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. By using the combined use of guide chamber one and guide chamber two, the flow rate of molten material is increased, the flow speed of molten material is accelerated, and the heat loss of molten material is reduced, thereby improving the quality of injection molding. The positioning block ensures that the needle body always moves in a vertical direction, avoiding the needle body from deviating, which would damage the needle hole on the needle tube and thus damage the valve needle body.
[0015] 2. By opening multiple through holes on the positioning block, the molten material in the needle tube flows more smoothly. The setting of the ball bearings transforms the original sliding friction between the positioning block and the needle body into rolling friction, reducing the wear of the positioning block on the needle body and thus improving the service life of the needle body.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0027] Specifically, it refers to a valve needle structure: including a valve needle body 1, which is composed of a base 2 and a needle tube 3. The bottom surface of the needle tube 3 is fitted with the top surface of the base 2. A cavity 5 is provided inside the base 2. A guide cavity 8 located outside the cavity 5 is symmetrically provided inside the base 2. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is provided inside the cavity 5. A needle body 4 extending into the needle tube 3 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 6. A guide cavity 9 located outside the needle body 4 and connected to the guide cavity 8 is symmetrically provided inside the needle tube 3. Both guide cavities 8 and 9 are arranged in an arc-shaped V-shape. A confluence cavity 10 connected to the two guide cavities 9 is provided inside the needle tube 3. An interface 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 2. The lower ends of the two guide cavities 8 converge and are connected to the interface 11. A needle hole 7 matching the needle body 4 is provided at the top of the needle tube 3. A positioning block 13 that slides in contact with the outer wall of the needle body 4 is symmetrically fixed to the inner wall of the confluence cavity 10.
[0028] The specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When the valve needle body 1 is injected with molten material from the interface 11, the molten material is diverted from the first guide chamber 8 and the second guide chamber 9 to the confluence chamber 10 and then merged. Through the coordinated use of the first guide chamber 8 and the second guide chamber 9, the flow rate of the molten material is increased, the flow speed of the molten material is accelerated, and the heat loss of the molten material is reduced, thereby improving the quality of injection molding. The cylinder 6 drives the needle body 4 to move up or down to seal and open the needle hole 7 on the needle tube 3, thereby controlling the state of the molten material being ejected or closed from the needle tube 3. The positioning block 13 set on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 10 ensures that the needle body 4 always moves in a vertical direction, avoiding the needle body 4 from deviating, which would cause damage to the needle hole 7 on the needle tube 3, thereby causing damage to the valve needle body 1.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment 2 is an improvement on the first embodiment as follows: Specifically, the outer side wall of the top end of the needle body 4 is evenly provided with a plurality of smooth keyways 12, the opposite side walls of the two positioning blocks 13 are both arc-shaped, the opposite side walls of the positioning blocks 13 are provided with a plurality of rotatable balls 15, and the top surface of the two positioning blocks 13 is provided with a plurality of through holes 14.
[0031] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the keyway 12 on the needle body 4 increases the distance between the outer wall of the needle body 4 near the top and the confluence cavity 10 during the downward movement of the needle body 4, thereby increasing the amount of molten material ejected and improving the injection molding effect; the arc-shaped positioning block 13 makes the positioning block 13 fit better with the needle body 4; the multiple through holes 14 make the molten material flow more smoothly in the needle tube 3; and the ball bearings 15 change the sliding friction between the positioning block 13 and the needle body 4 into rolling friction, reducing the wear of the positioning block 13 on the needle body 4 and thus improving the service life of the needle body 4.
