The refrigeration mechanism cools the liquid inside the water-cooling box, while the water return mechanism and pipes connect the interior of the water-cooling cavity to the interior of the water-cooling box. This allows for rapid absorption of high temperatures in the core area of ​​the mold through water cooling circulation (especially for thick-walled or complex structures), significantly shortening the main cooling stage time. The refrigeration mechanism then provides cool air to the air-cooling mechanism, allowing for directional airflow cooling after demolding or in specific areas (such as the gate or ribs). This avoids temperature gradients that may result from water cooling alone, achieving dynamic temperature balance. Thus, it utilizes both air cooling and water cooling to achieve efficient heat dissipation for the injection mold. Compared to the single air cooling method in the prior art, this device reduces the injection molding cycle, improves injection efficiency, and enhances the production efficiency of injection-molded laptop frames.
