AI Technical Summary
Traditional manifold inserts, when directly rotating to connect different gates, can easily lead to the simultaneous injection of plastics of different colors into the mold, affecting the quality of the finished product.
A quick-change color manifold insert was designed. By using a special arrangement and connection method of straight and curved channels to avoid corners, the rotation of the insert is controlled by a chute and a limiting groove assembly to ensure that the hot runner is cut off during the color change process, thus preventing different colored plastics from being injected into the mold.
This technology avoids injecting plastics of different colors into the mold simultaneously during color changes, ensuring product quality and improving the precision and consistency of injection molding.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a shunt plate insert technical field especially a quick color changing shunt plate insert. BACKGROUND
[0002] The shunt plate is also known as a hot runner shunt plate, and it is an important component of the hot runner system. It is a device used to distribute the plastic melt injected by the nozzle of an injection molding machine to each gate or cavity in the hot runner mold. It plays a key role in the injection molding process. The injection molding machine injects molten plastic into the main inlet of the shunt plate. The shunt plate distributes the plastic melt evenly to each branch flow channel through the internal flow channel system. Then, the plastic melt is transported to each gate of the mold through the branch flow channel, and finally enters the cavity to form a plastic product. During this process, the heating element continuously provides heat to the shunt plate to ensure that the plastic melt does not solidify during the distribution process and maintains good fluidity. The insert is located at the corner of the internal flow channel of the shunt plate. The streamlined round channel in the insert connects the internal flow channels of the shunt plate, optimizes the bending radius of the flow channel, and avoids sharp corners, reducing the accumulation of molten plastic in the corners.
[0003] Traditional inserts are mostly connected to different gates through direct rotation. If the gates are close, they may be connected to the channel in the insert at the same time during rotation, causing different colors of plastic to be injected into the mold at the same time, affecting the quality of the finished product.
