This mold includes a fixed mold, a movable mold on the top surface of the fixed mold, and first water channels inside both the fixed and movable molds. A punch is located within the fixed mold, and a second water channel communicating with the first water channel within the punch is located within the punch. The second water channel is serpentinely distributed within the punch and communicates with the first water channel via a connector, which is slidably connected to the fixed mold. This utility model, by providing a second water channel within the punch and using a connector to connect the second water channel to the first water channel, allows cooling water to directly cool the punch, improving the solidification efficiency of the molded parts within the mold.

[0004] Currently, most injection molds use multiple pipes to transport cooling water. During operation, two water supply pumps are required, which increases the cost of using the mold, the probability of equipment maintenance, and the economic losses of the producer. This is also detrimental to production operations, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

In use, the water inlet and outlet pipes are connected to an external pipeline, and water is supplied through the water inlet pipe. The water flows from the water inlet pipe into the water channel of the upper mold, and from the water guide pipe into the water channel of the lower mold, and finally is discharged from the water outlet pipe, thereby achieving heat absorption and transfer and realizing heat dissipation.

[0008] Preferably, there are two of each of the sliding groove, support rod, and collar, and the two sliding grooves, support rods, and collars are arranged symmetrically. The two collars are respectively fitted onto the water guide pipe and the water outlet pipe to facilitate support for the water guide pipe and the water outlet pipe.

A protrusion is fixedly connected to the end of the support rod away from the lower mold. When discharging, the upper mold moves upward, and the water guide pipe and the water outlet pipe are driven by force to move the collar. The collar then drives the support rod to insert into the slide groove. The connecting plate squeezes the spring, and the spring deforms under force. After the discharging operation is completed, the upper mold resets, and the spring pushes the connecting plate, support rod and collar to reset.

[0012] Preferably, there are two support rods, which are symmetrically arranged to ensure stable displacement of the connecting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, during use, an external pipeline is connected through an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. Water is supplied through the inlet pipe, flowing into the water channel of the upper mold and then into the water channel of the lower mold through the guide pipe, finally exiting through the outlet pipe. This achieves heat absorption and transfer, realizing heat dissipation. During material discharge, the upper mold moves upward, and the guide pipe and outlet pipe are driven by force to move the collar. The collar then drives the support rod to insert into the slide groove, and the connecting plate squeezes the spring. The spring is deformed by force. After the material discharge operation is completed, the upper mold resets, and the spring pushes the connecting plate, support rod, and collar to reset.

This solution integrates the equipment, requiring only one pump body to achieve heat dissipation for the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 2, reducing the operating cost of the equipment, reducing the probability of equipment maintenance, reducing the economic losses of producers, and facilitating production operations.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 2 are equipped with water channels. The water outlet pipe 72 is connected to the water guide pipe 71 through the water channel, and the water inlet pipe 75 is connected to the water guide pipe 71 through the water channel.
