Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sprue sleeves, and in particular to a sprue sleeve for a plastic mold. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molds are specialized tools used in the plastics processing industry to mold plastic products. Their main function is to heat and melt plastic raw materials, inject them into the mold cavity under high pressure, and then cool and solidify them in the mold to obtain plastic products of the desired shape and size. Injection molds provide an efficient, low-cost, and streamlined production method and are an indispensable piece of equipment in modern industrial production.
[0003] The sprue bushing, also known as a sprue, gate nozzle, or gate filler, is a key component in injection molds. Its primary function is to connect the mold to the injection molding machine. The sprue bushing allows molten plastic material to flow from the injection molding machine nozzle into the mold's internal runner. It ensures that the plastic material enters the mold cavity smoothly and stably, where the molding process is completed. The design and quality of the sprue bushing directly affect the stability of the injection molding process and the quality of the final product.
[0004] Molten plastic enters the runner from the mains channel by the pressure within the mains channel. When the injection mold core is changed, the manifold is also replaced. Different manifolds have different numbers of channels, and the more channels there are, the greater the pressure required. The pressure of molten plastic entering the runner is related to the cross-section of the runner. The smaller the cross-section, the faster the plastic flows and the farther it is sprayed. In existing sprue bushings, the diameter of the port near the manifold is fixed, which makes it impossible for the sprue bushing to be used with different manifolds. When the manifold is replaced, the sprue bushing also needs to be replaced. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A sprue sleeve for a plastic mold includes a sleeve body. From top to bottom, the sleeve body has a flange, a positioning part, and an insert rod. The flange is used to connect with the nozzle of an injection molding machine, the positioning part is used to connect with the mold panel, and the insert rod is used to connect with the mold's manifold. An injection channel is provided inside the sleeve body, its axis coinciding with the axis of the sleeve body. The injection channel communicates with the flange. A sprue head is provided at the end of the insert rod away from the positioning part. A pressure injection port is provided inside the sprue head, connecting and communicating with the injection channel. A connecting ring groove is provided inside the insert rod. A connecting sleeve is provided at the end of the sprue head near the insertion part.

[0009] Furthermore, an inner gasket and an outer gasket are provided between the insert rod and the sprue. The inner gasket is used to seal the gap between the insert rod and the sprue, and the outer gasket is used to increase the friction between the insert rod and the sprue.
[0010] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided at one end of the gating nozzle near the insertion rod, and a positioning boss is provided at one end of the insertion rod near the gating nozzle. After the gating nozzle and the insertion part are combined, the positioning boss is inserted into the positioning groove.
