[0031] The mold assembly 3 includes an upper mold 32 and a lower mold 31, and the needle valve 4 is disposed in the cavity formed by the upper mold 32 and the lower mold 31.

[0032] The thermal insulation component 7 includes a mounting bracket 71 fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the outer casing 1. The mounting bracket 71 is provided with a first temperature regulating component 72 and a second temperature regulating component 73, and the first temperature regulating component 72 and the second temperature regulating component 73 can form a fastening relationship.

[0033] The first temperature regulating component 72 includes a first housing 721, on which a plurality of first vent holes 722 are formed. A first indicator 723 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the first housing 721. A pair of first arc-shaped grooves 729 are formed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the first housing 721. A first sealing member 724 is rotatably disposed inside the first housing 721. A first limiting strip 730 is fixedly installed on the outer circumferential wall of the first sealing member 724, and the first limiting strip 730 slides. The first sealing component 724 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the first arc-shaped groove 729. A first pull rod 725 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the first sealing component 724. Several second vent holes 720 are opened on the first sealing component 724. Two pairs of slots 726 are opened on the side wall of the first housing 721 facing the second temperature regulating component 73. A semi-circular block 727 is movably arranged in the inner cavity of the slot 726. The semi-circular block 727 and the side wall of the inner cavity of the slot 726 are elastically connected by a spring 728.

[0034] The second temperature control component 73 includes a second housing 731, which has several third vent holes 732. A second indicator 733 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second housing 731. A pair of second arc-shaped grooves 740 are opened on the side wall of the inner cavity of the second housing 731. A second sealing member 734 is rotatably installed inside the second housing 731. A pair of second limiting strips 738 are fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the second sealing member 734 and are slidably installed in the inner cavity of the second arc-shaped grooves 740. A second pull rod 735 is rotatably installed on the outer side wall of the second sealing member 734. A number of fourth vent holes 739 are opened on the second sealing member 734. A locking block 1 736 and a locking block 2 737 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the second housing 731 and the second sealing member 734 facing the first housing 721, respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment: First, the first temperature control component 72 is installed on the mounting bracket 71. Then, the second temperature control component 73 is fastened onto the first temperature control component 72. During the fastening process, the locking block 736 is inserted into the inner cavity of the slot 726. As the locking block 736 is inserted, it pushes the semi-circular locking block 727 towards the spring 728, compressing the spring 728. When the locking hole on the locking block 736 aligns with the semi-circular locking block 727, the elastic force of the spring 728... When the semi-circular locking block 727 is engaged in the locking hole on the locking block 736, since the first sealing member 724 is also provided with a locking groove 726, a semi-circular locking block 727 and a spring 728, when the first housing 721 and the second housing 731 are engaged, at the same time, the locking block 737 will engage with the first sealing member 724 in the same way, thus realizing the engagement between the first sealing member 724 and the second sealing member 734, thereby making the first sealing member 724 and the second sealing member 734 into a whole.

[0036] When used in winter, the operator rotates the first sealing member 724 and the second sealing member 734 by using the first pull rod 725 and the second pull rod 735, so that the first vent 722 and the third vent 732 are misaligned with the second vent 720 and the fourth vent 739. This keeps the entire heat preservation component 7 in a sealed state. When the heating tube 6 heats the water, the heat loss of the heating tube 6 is reduced because the heat preservation component 7 is in a sealed state, which is conducive to achieving the heat preservation effect. Under the premise of maintaining the mold component 3 at a suitable temperature, the power of the heating tube 6 can be reduced, saving energy.

[0037] When used in summer, it may be necessary to enhance the heat dissipation of the heating element 6. At this time, the operator rotates the first sealing part 724 and the second sealing part 734 through the first pull rod 725 and the second pull rod 735, so that the first vent 722 and the third vent 732 are aligned with the second vent 720 and the fourth vent 739. This makes the entire heat preservation component 7 connected to the outside world, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the heating element 6 in the hot summer, and thus helps to achieve temperature control.

[0038] Example 2: This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 5-11 When the heating element 6 is damaged and needs repair, the operator rotates the first sealing member 724 and the second sealing member 734 using the first pull rod 725 and the second pull rod 735, aligning the first pull rod 725 and the second pull rod 735 with the first indicator 723 and the second indicator 733. The operator then applies an upward pulling force to the second temperature control component 73. Under the action of the pulling force, the semi-circular locking block 727 will fall out of the locking hole on the locking block 736, thereby separating the first housing 721 and the second housing 731. At the same time as the separation between the first housing 721 and the second housing 731, the first sealing member 724 and the second sealing member 734 are separated in the same way, thereby achieving complete separation between the second temperature control component 73 and the first temperature control component 72. This achieves a quick disassembly effect, which helps to improve the replacement speed of the heating element 6 and improves the efficiency of maintenance.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
