Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hot runner technology, and specifically relates to a hot runner mold. Background Technology
[0002] Hot runner injection molding uses heating to keep the plastic in the runner and gate in a molten state. Because heating coils and heating rods are located near or in the center of the runner, the entire runner from the injection nozzle outlet to the gate is at a high temperature, keeping the plastic in the runner constantly molten. This eliminates the need to remove runner waste during each mold opening and part removal; the molten material remaining in the hot runner system can be injected into the cavity during the next injection, reducing material waste, avoiding freezing time and subsequent processing, resulting in more aesthetically pleasing products, and improving production efficiency and economic benefits. It is a hot research direction in plastic injection molding technology. However, existing hot runner molds use a single hot nozzle for injection molding of small and micro products. This injection method has extremely low injection efficiency. For 32-pin electronic connector plugs, existing hot runner molds are clearly unsuitable for mass production, limiting practicality and affecting production efficiency. Injection with multiple hot nozzles can lead to uneven heating, affecting material flow and even causing runner blockage. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a hot runner mold, comprising an I-shaped manifold 1, with several through-holes 2 symmetrically opened on both sides of the manifold 1, an injection nozzle 3 installed at the top center of the manifold 1, a cylinder 4 provided at the top of the manifold 1, a valve sleeve 5 installed at the top of the manifold 1 at the flow hole 2, a valve needle 6 installed inside the valve sleeve 5, a hot nozzle base 7 installed at the bottom of the manifold 1 at the flow hole 2, a hot nozzle body 8 inserted inside the hot nozzle base 7, one end of the valve needle 6 connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 4, the other end of the valve needle 6 passing through the flow hole 2 and inserted inside the hot nozzle body 8, multiple heating grooves 9 symmetrically opened at the top and bottom of the manifold 1, one of the heating grooves 9 being located at the injection nozzle 3, a heating tube 10 installed inside the heating groove 9, and a heat insulation cap 15 fitted onto the bottom of the hot nozzle body 8.
[0020] In this embodiment, an injection hole is provided at the top center of the flow divider plate 1, and an injection nozzle 3 is installed at the injection hole. A first flow channel 11 and a second flow channel 12 are provided inside the flow divider plate 1. The injection hole is connected to the first flow channel 11, and the material is transported to both sides of the flow divider plate 1 through the first flow channel 11. The second flow channel 12 is located at the bottom of the first flow channel 11, and the first flow channel 11 is connected to the second flow channel 12. The second flow channel 12 is connected to the flow hole 2.
[0021] Specifically, molten material is injected into the first flow channel 11 through the injection nozzle 3. The material flows through the first flow channel 11 to both sides of the flow divider plate 1. After entering both sides of the flow divider plate 1, the material enters the second flow channel 12 and flows evenly into the corresponding flow hole 2.
[0022] In this embodiment, there are 32 flow holes 2 and 8 second flow channels 12. Each second flow channel 12 connects 4 flow holes 2. The heating tank 9 has a U-shaped structure. Each heating tank 9 on both sides of the flow divider plate 1 has 6 flow holes 2 distributed in it.
[0023] Specifically, the heating tube 10 located at the injection nozzle 3 heats the material entering the first flow channel 11 to maintain good flowability. Each of the other heating tanks 9 has 6 flow holes 2 distributed in it, and the flow holes 2 not distributed in the heating tanks 9 are also distributed on the side of the heating tanks 9. In this way, the material can be heated fully and evenly, so that the material can always maintain good flowability in the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12. In this way, uneven heating of the material can be avoided, which would cause flow channel blockage and affect injection molding.
[0024] In this embodiment, a first arc-shaped groove 13 is provided on one side of the hot nozzle base 7, and a second arc-shaped groove 14 is provided on one side of the top of the hot nozzle body 8. Positioning pins 16 are installed in the first arc-shaped groove 13 and the second arc-shaped groove 14.
[0025] Specifically, the first arc-shaped groove 13, together with the second arc-shaped groove 14 and the positioning pin 16, facilitates and quickly positions and installs the hot nozzle base 7, and this method can improve the stability of the hot nozzle base 7 during use.
[0026] In this embodiment, a heat insulation cap 15 is fitted onto the bottom end of the heat nozzle body 8.
[0027] Working principle: During injection molding, cylinder 4 drives valve needle 6 to rise, allowing molten plastic to be injected through the hot nozzle body 8. Cylinder 4 then drives valve needle 6 to descend, sealing the bottom of the hot nozzle body 8 and ending the injection process. During this process, molten plastic is injected into the first flow channel 11 through injection nozzle 3. The heating tube 10 located at injection nozzle 3 heats the injected material, maintaining its good flowability. After flowing through the first flow channel 11 to both sides of the flow divider plate 1, the material is further heated evenly by the heating tubes 10 on both sides, allowing the material to flow smoothly and evenly. The material flows through the first flow channel 11 into the second flow channel 12 and into the flow holes 2. Each heating tank 9 on both sides of the manifold 1 is provided with 6 flow holes 2, and the flow holes 2 not distributed in the heating tank 9 are also distributed on the side of the heating tank 9. In this way, the material can be heated fully and evenly, so that the material can always maintain good fluidity in the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12. This method can avoid the flow channel blockage caused by uneven heating of the material, which will affect the injection molding. The multiple hot nozzle bodies 8 make the mold able to perform 32 injections in one go, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the product.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
