Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to a hot runner valve needle structure. Background Technology

[0002] Hot runner systems use heating to keep the plastic in the runner and gate in a molten state. A hot runner system generally consists of several parts, including hot nozzles, manifolds, temperature control boxes, and accessories. Hot nozzles are generally divided into two types: open hot nozzles and needle valve hot nozzles. During injection molding, the type of hot nozzle directly determines the selection of the hot runner system and the manufacturing of the mold. Therefore, hot runner systems are often divided into open hot runner systems and needle valve hot runner systems. Traditional hot runner structures are complex to process, making them difficult to polish and resulting in dead corners, which leads to high processing costs and makes it difficult to standardize.

[0029] In practical use: A valve sleeve 41 is installed inside the hot runner 2. A valve needle 42 is inserted inside the valve sleeve 41. A valve seat 43 is installed on the top of the valve sleeve 41. When the pushing device 44 pushes the valve seat 43, it causes the valve needle 42 inside the valve sleeve 41 to move inside the hot nozzle body 45. The valve needle 42 retracts into the valve sleeve 41, causing the hot nozzle head 46 to open, so that the injection molten material can be sprayed out from the hot nozzle head 46 to achieve casting. In this casting assembly 4, the valve sleeve 41, valve needle 42, hot nozzle body 45 and hot nozzle head 46 are all disassembled components, which are easy to disassemble and disassemble, facilitate the processing of dead corners and polishing, and reduce costs.

A hot nozzle positioning pin 52 is installed on the surface of the hot nozzle base 51. The hot nozzle body 45 is inserted inside the hot nozzle base 51 and fixed by the hot nozzle positioning pin 52. A positioning block 53 is fixedly installed inside the hot nozzle head 46. The valve needle 42 is inserted inside the positioning block 53.

[0031] In practical use: A hot nozzle base 51 is installed at the bottom of the diverter plate 1. A hot nozzle positioning pin 52 is installed on the surface of the hot nozzle base 51. The hot nozzle body 45 is inserted into the hot nozzle base 51 and fixed by the hot nozzle positioning pin 52. A positioning block 53 is installed inside the hot nozzle head 46. The valve needle 42 is inserted into the positioning block 53 to ensure the stability of the valve needle 42 and prevent it from shifting inside the hot nozzle head 46, which could lead to leakage.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The heating tube 6 is installed inside the mounting slot 3. The heating tube 6 is arranged around the hot flow channel 2. A connector 7 is installed on one side of the flow divider 1. The connector 7 is connected to both ends of the heating tube 6.

[0033] In practical use: The heating tube 6 is installed inside the mounting slot 3. When the connector 7 is powered on, the heating tube 6 generates heat to heat the manifold 1, ensuring the fluidity of the injection molten material inside the hot runner 2.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 A nozzle 8 is installed in the middle of the manifold 1, and the nozzle 8 is connected to the hot runner 2.

[0035] In practical use: An injection nozzle 8 is installed in the middle of the manifold 1. The injection molten material flows into the hot runner 2 through the injection nozzle 8 to realize the supply of injection molten material.

The heat insulation cap 10 of the hot nozzle is made of metal and uses a hollow design to reduce heat loss while ensuring fast heat conduction. This ensures that the temperature at the front end of the hot nozzle 46 is uniform and that it is not easy to produce quality problems such as stringing.

[0040] A valve sleeve 41 is installed inside the hot runner 2. A valve needle 42 is inserted and connected inside the valve sleeve 41. A valve seat 43 is installed on the top of the valve sleeve 41. When the pushing device 44 pushes the valve seat 43, it causes the valve needle 42 inside the valve sleeve 41 to move inside the hot nozzle body 45. The valve needle 42 retracts into the valve sleeve 41, causing the hot nozzle head 46 to open, so that the injection molten material can be ejected from the hot nozzle head 46 to achieve casting. In this casting assembly 4, the valve sleeve 41, valve needle 42, hot nozzle body 45 and hot nozzle head 46 are all separate components. The components are designed for easy disassembly and disassembly, facilitating the processing of dead corners and polishing, thus reducing costs.
