AI Technical Summary
Existing LSR cold runner systems suffer from problems such as the runner plate and template not being able to be fully pressed and fitted together, which causes the adhesive to easily overflow from gaps and template holes when the injection pressure increases. In addition, the adhesive flow is unbalanced during multi-cavity injection, resulting in uneven product pouring and filling.
It adopts a dual-channel structure design with upper and lower channels, combined with sealing measures such as sealing grooves and sealing rings. The flow of liquid silicone is controlled by cylinders and valve needles. With the help of positioning columns and positioning holes, the flow channel plate can be quickly positioned and installed. The opening and closing of multiple gates are adjusted synchronously by timing control valves.
It effectively reduces the flow channel area, prevents the glue from overflowing, ensures the balance of glue flow, and avoids the problem of uneven product pouring and filling.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to a mold structure for solving the problem of overflow in LSR cold runners. Background Technology
[0002] Industrially, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is mainly used for drying instruments, meters, and equipment. This type of LSR is generally inorganic silicone. As packaging LSR, it is widely used in precision instruments, leather, clothing, food, pharmaceuticals, and electrical appliances. Food-grade LSR can be used to make baby bottle nipples, medical products, and other food-grade products. LSR molds are a type of thermosetting plastic mold that uses liquid silicone as the molding material. The material is fed into a silicone injection molding machine through a dedicated mixing system, and then injected into a heated liquid silicone mold under a certain pressure and speed through the LSR cold runner system to form the product. Existing LSR cold runner systems have the following problems: 1. The runner plate and template are fixed with bolts, which cannot completely compress and fit together. Multi-cavity injection requires a large runner area, causing the material to easily overflow from gaps and template holes when the injection pressure increases; 2. Uneven material flow during multi-cavity injection leads to uneven product filling. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a mold structure for solving the problem of LSR cold runner overflow, including a heat insulation plate 10, a fixing plate 20, a flow divider plate 30 and a fixed template 50 arranged from top to bottom. The heat insulation plate 10, the fixing plate 20 and the flow divider plate 30 are assembled and installed on the fixed template 50 by bolts.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 2-5 As shown, the manifold 30 has a mounting groove 301, in which a flow channel plate is installed. The flow channel plate includes an upper flow channel plate 302 and a lower flow channel plate 303. The lower flow channel plate 303 has an upper flow channel 3031 and several first flow channel holes 3032. The upper flow channel 3031 connects to the first flow channel holes 3032. The bottom of the mounting groove 301 has several sets of second flow channel holes 3012 and a lower flow channel 3011. The lower flow channel 3011 connects to the second flow channel holes 3012. The fixing plate 20 is provided with an inlet 101, which connects to the upper flow channel plate 302. Specifically, liquid silicone enters the upper flow channel 3031 from the inlet 101. In this embodiment, the upper flow channel 3031 connects to four first flow channel holes 3032. The liquid silicone flows from the four first flow channel holes 3032 to the lower flow channel 3011. The lower flow channel 3011 includes four channels, each of which connects to two second flow channel holes 3012 at both ends. This double-layer flow channel structure design of the upper and lower flow channels 3031 reduces overflow caused by increased flow channel area due to multiple cavities. Furthermore, two positioning posts 3013 are provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 301. The flow channel plate has two positioning holes 305, with the positioning posts 3013 corresponding to the positioning holes 305. The upper flow channel plate 302 and the lower flow channel plate 303 have positioning holes 305 at the same position. The quick positioning and installation of the flow channel plate is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning posts 3013 and the positioning holes 305.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 2-5As shown, a sealing groove 304 is provided around the upper flow channel 3031 and the lower flow channel 3011, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove 304. Specifically, when the upper flow channel plate 302 and the lower flow channel plate 303 are pressed together, the sealing ring around the upper flow channel 3031 is compressed to prevent the liquid silicone in the upper flow channel 3031 from overflowing; then the upper flow channel plate 302 and the lower flow channel plate 303 are locked in the mounting groove 301, and the lower flow channel plate 303 presses the sealing ring around the lower flow channel 3011 to prevent the liquid silicone in the lower flow channel 3011 from overflowing. The sealing ring further plays the role of sealing to prevent the liquid silicone from leaking.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the fixed template 50 is equipped with a nozzle sleeve 501, and a cylinder 201 is installed on the fixed plate 20. A valve needle 2011 is installed on the cylinder 201. The valve needle 2011 passes through the upper runner plate 302, through the second runner hole 3012, and into the nozzle sleeve 501. Liquid silicone flows from the second runner hole 3012 into the nozzle sleeve 501. The control cylinder 201 drives the valve needle 2011 to open and close the gate of the nozzle sleeve 501, and the liquid silicone flows through the nozzle sleeve 501 into the mold cavity. Furthermore, a timing control valve 502 is installed on the side of the fixed template 50. The timing control valve 502 can simultaneously control the extension and retraction of the valve needle 2011 driven by the cylinder 201, facilitating the synchronous opening and closing of the valve needles 2011 of multiple gates, thereby ensuring the parallelism of the product pouring.
[0031] In addition, a partition plate 40 is provided between the manifold 30 and the fixed template 50 to prevent the heat of the fixed template 50 from being transferred to the manifold 30, and to prevent the liquid silicone from solidifying and blocking the first flow channel hole 3032 and the second flow channel hole 3012 when heated in the manifold 30.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
