[0028] Mold cooling structure, mold cooling structure is located on injection bottom die 1;

[0029] Mold cooling structure includes cooling water tank 6, water pump 15, second connecting pipe 14 and liquid inlet pipe 16, water pump 15 is fixedly installed in the inside of cooling water tank 6, the drainage end of water pump 15 is fixedly connected with one end of second connecting pipe 14, second connecting pipe 14 is fixedly installed cooling water tank 6 close to one side of injection bottom die 1, liquid inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected on second connecting pipe 14 and is communicated with its inside, the end of liquid inlet pipe 16 away from second connecting pipe 14 is communicated with the inside of injection bottom die 1, and one side of injection bottom die 1 away from liquid inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected with liquid outlet pipe 13, one end of liquid outlet pipe 13 away from injection bottom die 1 is fixedly connected with first communicating pipe 12, and the hose 5 is fixedly connected on first communicating pipe 12 and second connecting pipe 14, and the end of two hoses 5 away from second connecting pipe 14 and first communicating pipe 12 is fixedly connected on the both sides of upper die holder 4, and two hoses 5 are communicated with the inside of upper die holder 4.

[0030] The both sides of injection bottom die 1 are fixedly connected with cooling box 8, and the both sides of first communicating pipe 12 are fixedly connected with cooling return pipe 10, two cooling return pipes 10 are penetrated through corresponding cooling box 8 and are communicated with the inside of cooling water tank 6, a plurality of radiating fins 11 are fixedly connected on the outer surface of two cooling return pipes 10, a plurality of radiating fins 11 are fixedly installed in corresponding cooling box 8, and two cooling return pipes 10 are arranged in the inside of corresponding cooling box 8 in the shape of "S".

[0031] The opposite faces of two cooling boxes 8 are all provided with a plurality of ventilation openings 7, and exhaust fan 9 is installed in the inside of a plurality of ventilation openings 7.

[0032] Further, in use of the device, two electric push rods 3 are started by connecting an external power source, which will drive the upper mold base 4 to move downward, so that the bottom of the upper mold base 4 can be in close contact with the top of the injection mold 1. When the upper mold base 4 moves downward, two hoses 5 will also move downward at the same time. Then, the molten material is discharged from the injection tube into the injection mold 1 for shaping.
