Main channel pipe 4 is provided at the main channel hole on the upper surface of guide block 2. The nozzle of injection molding machine injects molten plastic into the interior of main channel pipe 4. The outer arc surface of main channel pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the inner arc wall of upper panel 1. Upper panel 1 provides support for main channel pipe 4.

[0023] Worm Gear Assembly 9: Used to drive the rotation and self-locking of the eccentric shaft 8. Worm Gear Assembly 9 includes a worm wheel 91 and a worm 92. The worm wheel 91 is respectively set at the upper end of the rotating disk 81. The two worms 92 are respectively rotatably connected to the left and right ends inside the guide block 2.

An Allen wrench is inserted into the hexagonal hole 94 to rotate the knob 93.
[0024] The working principle of the adjustable runner system for injection molds provided by this utility model is as follows: During use, the injection molding machine's nozzle injects molten plastic into the main runner 4. Then, under pressure, the molten plastic is diverted through the guide holes inside the guide block 2 into the branch runners 5, and subsequently enters the mold cavity of the upper mold 3. During use, the amount of molten plastic entering the two branch runners 5 can be adjusted. For adjustment, an Allen wrench can be inserted into the hexagonal hole 94 to rotate the knob 93. The knob 93 drives the worm gear 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 81 to rotate via the worm wheel 91. The rotating disk 81 drives the pin 82 to move circumferentially, and the pin 82 drives the rectangular block 83 to move laterally and longitudinally. The rectangular block 83 rotates relative to the pin 82. The guide block 7 slides relative to the long sliding hole in the middle, and at the same time drives the guide block 7 to move laterally along the guide block 2. The guide block 2 drives the adjusting column 6 to slide along the guide hole, thereby adjusting the cross section at the corner of the branch hole. When the cross section in the middle of the injection channel becomes smaller, the flow resistance of the molten plastic in the channel will increase, resulting in a slower conveying speed. This facilitates the adjustment of the molten plastic entering the two mold cavities, ensuring good injection quality in both mold cavities. The heating jacket 12 and heating tube 15 heat and keep the flowing molten plastic warm. The heat insulation jacket 13 is a polyimide heat insulation jacket. A polyimide heat insulation pad is provided at the connection between the guide block 2, the branch channel tube 5, and the upper mold 3 to reduce heat loss. The thermocouple 14 converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the external controller for easy detection of the molten plastic temperature.
[0025] It is worth noting that the heating jacket 12, heating tube 15 and thermocouple 14 disclosed in the above embodiments can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The heating jacket 12 can be a spring heating coil, the heating tube 15 can be a single-ended heating tube, and the thermocouple 14 can be a K-type thermocouple. The external controller controls the operation of the heating jacket 12, heating tube 15 and thermocouple 14 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
