Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic injection molding technology, specifically a cooling device for a plastic injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] An injection molding machine, also known as an injection molding machine or injection molding machine, is a major molding equipment that uses plastic molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics. It heats the plastic material, melts it, and injects it into the mold cavity under high pressure. After cooling, the desired plastic product is formed. Cooling is an extremely important step in the molding process. With the continuous application of injection molding machines, various injection molding machine cooling devices have emerged.

[0003] Currently, the main improvement of injection molding machine cooling devices on the market is in terms of cooling rate. Existing injection molding machines consist of a control system, a mold clamping system, an injection system, and a cooling system. The mold is placed in the mold clamping system, the injection system performs injection, and the cooling system removes heat from the mold through water flow. However, the cooling system generally uses a chiller to circulate water, which removes heat from the mold. After the water is heated by the mold, scale easily forms inside the water pipes. Scale residue flows in the continuous water circulation. If not treated in time, it will affect the water flow rate, thereby reducing heat exchange efficiency and cooling rate. Therefore, a cooling device for plastic injection molding machines that can promptly remove scale residue in the water circulation to avoid affecting the flow of cold water and thus ensure the cooling rate is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cooling device for a plastic injection molding machine. It has the advantage of being able to promptly handle scale and sludge in the water circulation, avoiding affecting the flow of cold water and thus ensuring the cooling speed. It solves the problem that after the water temperature is heated by the mold, scale easily forms inside the water pipes. The scale and sludge will flow in the continuous water circulation. If it is not dealt with in time, it will affect the water flow speed, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency and thus reducing the cooling speed.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of timely handling of scale and sludge in water circulation, avoiding affecting the flow of cold water, and thus ensuring the cooling speed, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling device for a plastic injection molding machine, including an injection molding machine body, a control system is provided on the outside of the injection molding machine body, a mold closing system and an injection system are provided on the top of the injection molding machine body, and a cleaning mechanism is provided on the outside of the injection molding machine body.

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a circulating water chiller, a connecting pipe, a cleaning box, a cleaning frame, a pressure block, a fine filter screen, an externally threaded pipe, and a collection cylinder. The circulating water chiller is fixedly installed on the right side of the injection molding machine body. A connecting pipe is provided on the outside of the circulating water chiller. A cleaning box is provided on the outside of the injection molding machine body. A cleaning frame is fixedly installed inside the cleaning box. A pressure block is fixedly installed inside the cleaning frame. A fine filter screen is provided inside the cleaning frame. An externally threaded pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning frame. A collection cylinder is provided at the bottom of the externally threaded pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the collecting cylinder is provided with an internally threaded tube, which is threadedly connected to an externally threaded tube.

[0008] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided inside the internally threaded tube, and the outer diameter of the sealing ring is adapted to the inner diameter of the internally threaded tube.

[0009] Furthermore, a conical block is fixedly installed inside the collecting cylinder, and a feeding pipe is fixedly installed inside the collecting cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning box, and the mounting plate is threadedly connected to the injection molding machine body by screws.

[0011] Furthermore, a flexible hose is provided on the outside of the cleaning box, and a water connector is provided on the outside of the flexible hose, which is connected to the cleaning frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This cooling device for a plastic injection molding machine features a cleaning mechanism. When mold cooling is required, a flexible hose is connected to the water circuit within the mold. The control system activates a circulating water chiller, and the connecting pipe circulates heated water. As the water flows through the hose into the cleaning frame, scale and debris are impacted by the water flow onto the pressure block. After being filtered through a fine filter, the scale and debris enter the collection cylinder through a feed pipe that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A conical block separates the scale and debris, preventing backflow from the feed pipe. This cleaning mechanism effectively removes scale and debris from the circulating water, ensuring the cooling speed and preventing any obstruction to the cold water flow. Attached Figure Description
