[0040] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Example
[0041] like Figure 1-13 As shown, the injection molding machine mold cooling assembly of this embodiment includes a mounting plate 1, a turntable 2 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1, and a drive assembly for driving the turntable 2 to rotate 180 degrees. The turntable 2 is used to mount a rotating mold. A cooling assembly for supplying coolant to the rotating mold is provided between the mounting plate 1 and the turntable 2. The cooling assembly includes a fixed water column 3 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 and a rotating water column 4 fixedly connected to the turntable 2. The rotating water column 4 is sealed to the fixed water column 3 and rotatably connected. The fixed water column 3 is provided with a fixed channel communicating with the water channel of the mounting plate 1, and the rotating water column 4 is provided with a rotating channel communicating with the water distribution drain 24 of the turntable 2. The rotating channel is connected to the fixed channel.
[0042] With this design, the coolant flows from the mounting plate 1 to the fixed water column 3, then to the rotating water column 4, and finally into the water distribution drain 24 of the turntable 2. Because the rotating water column 4 and the fixed water column 3 rotate and are sealed together, the flow of coolant is not affected, and coolant leakage is avoided. This ensures that the turntable 2 rotates normally while the cooling components can operate normally.
[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 5 and a gear 51. The driving motor 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting plate 1 is provided with an anti-deviation component for limiting the turntable 2 on the mounting plate 1.
[0046] With this design, since turntable 2 is in a vertical position during normal operation, that is, the axis of turntable 2 is horizontal, the anti-deviation component can prevent turntable 2 from deviating during long-term rotation.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-deviation component includes a column 11 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 and a limiting roller 12 rotatably connected to the column 11.

The limiting protrusion 14 and the limiting groove 23 are mutually limiting and cooperating, and there are two limiting grooves 23 symmetrically arranged.
[0056] With this design, when the turntable 2 rotates to the injection position, the cylinder 15 pushes the limiting protrusion 14 into the limiting groove 23 to fix the position of the turntable 2 and prevent the turntable 2 from rotating during the injection process.
[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating water column 4 and the water distribution drain 24 are connected by a water pipe, and the turntable 2 is provided with a water source pipe groove 25 for accommodating the water pipe.
