[0036] Specifically, first flow channel 13 and second flow channel 14 are respectively structured as arc, since insert body 11 is structured as ring, first flow channel 13 and second flow channel 14 are respectively structured as arc, which is helpful for uniform distribution and flow of cooling medium in cooling flow channel 12, arc-shaped flow channel can ensure that cooling medium does not suddenly change direction or generate vortex during flow, reduce the flow resistance of cooling medium, thereby improve the cooling efficiency. One end of first flow channel 13 and the other end are spaced apart, and first flow channel 13 is connected between one end of second flow channel 14 and the other end of second flow channel 14 through third flow channel 15.

[0044] Specifically, the outer periphery of the insert body 11 is formed with an annular matching step 111, which provides a stable support surface for the insert body 11, helping to ensure correct positioning and stable installation of the insert body 11 in the mold, avoiding displacement and shaking of the insert body 11 during work.

The end of the water inlet pipe 16 is formed with a first external thread matched with the flow channel inlet 141, and the end of the water outlet pipe 17 is formed with a second external thread matched with the flow channel outlet 132. The water inlet pipe 16 and the water outlet pipe 17 are firmly connected to the insert assembly 1 by thread matching, preventing leakage of the cooling medium during flow. Thread matching not only provides reliable connection strength, but also simplifies the installation and disassembly process. By rotating the water inlet pipe 16 and the water outlet pipe 17, quick connection or separation with the insert assembly 1 can be achieved, improving production efficiency and operational convenience.
