[0002] Mold runners are an important component in injection molding, serving as channels for the flow of molten plastic. Located within the mold, the mold runner is a three-dimensional, tortuous channel whose main function is to guide the molten plastic from the injection molding machine into the mold cavity to form the product. The design of the mold runner has a crucial impact on product molding. A well-designed mold runner can ensure a smooth product surface, avoid product defects, shorten the molding cycle, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

[0007] Preferably, the width is 30 mm or 28 mm.
[0008] Preferably, the runner insert is detachably fixed to the lower mold core by bolts, and both the runner insert and the lower mold core have a centrally symmetrical structure, thus forming two centrally symmetrical product cavities.
[0009] The main channel itself has a centrally symmetrical structure, and there are two branch channels, which are centrally symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the main channel.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a replaceable runner insert 1 includes: a mold core, and a runner insert 1 detachably fixed to the mold core. The runner insert 1 includes a main runner 2 formed on the runner insert 1, and a branch runner 3 connected to the main runner 2 and the product cavity. The width dimension of the branch runner 3 can be set to various values. The cross-section of the branch runner 3 is triangular, and the length of the side of the triangular branch runner 3 connected to the product cavity is the width dimension. This width dimension can be set to various values, and the specific value and number of width dimensions designed are set according to the actual needs of the mold. Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the width dimension H is 30 mm.
[0027] The runner insert 1 is detachably fixed to the lower mold core 10 by a first bolt 11, which is installed in the first bolt hole 8. Both the runner insert 1 and the lower mold core 10 have a centrally symmetrical structure, forming two centrally symmetrical product cavities. Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the main flow channel 2 has a centrally symmetrical structure, and there are two branch flow channels 3, which are centrally symmetrically arranged at both ends of the main flow channel 2. The flow channel insert 1 has multiple water channels 4 for cooling water flow. Multiple ejector pin holes 5 are vertically arranged through the flow channel insert 1 for ejector pins 12 to pass through. These ejector pin holes 5 are connected to the main flow channel 2 and the branch flow channels 3, respectively. The ejector pins 12 are used to eject the product after injection molding. The flow channel insert 1 has a flow-stopping bolt 6 that can be screwed in and out. The bolt hole for installing the flow-stopping bolt 6 is connected to the main flow channel 2, and the flow-stopping bolt 6 is installed in the second bolt hole 9. Specifically, screwing the flow-stopping bolt 6 into the second bolt hole 9 increases the amount of material entering the flow channel, and screwing the flow-stopping bolt 6 out of the second bolt hole 9 decreases the amount of material entering the flow channel. The bottom surface of the runner insert 1 is provided with a positioning boss 7 for positioning the runner insert 1 on the lower mold core 10, which facilitates the installation of the runner insert 1 on the lower mold core 10.
[0028] In actual production, since the runner insert 1 is detachable and the runner width of the sub-runner 3 can be set to multiple dimensions, the appropriate runner insert 1 can be selected and replaced as needed. This avoids the problem in the prior art where the runner is integrated on the mold core, and if the width of the sub-runner 3 in the runner insert 1 is not suitable, especially if the width of the sub-runner 3 is too large, the mold core will be scrapped.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the length of the side of the triangular branch channel 3 that is connected to the product cavity is the width dimension, and the width dimension H is 28 mm.
[0031] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
