[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an injection molding cooling mechanism for automotive plastic parts includes a base 1, a lower mold 2 mounted on the upper surface of the base 1, an upper mold 3 above the lower mold 2, molding cavities for molding automotive plastic parts being formed inside the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3, and multiple cooling channels 4 sequentially formed inside the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3. A cooling mechanism cooperating with the cooling channels 4 is mounted on one side of the upper surface of the base 1, and a recycling mechanism cooperating with the cooling channels 4 is mounted on the other side of the upper surface of the base 1. An injection hole is formed on the top of the upper mold 3, and an injection tube 5 communicating with the injection hole is fixedly connected to the top of the upper mold 3.
[0021] The cooling mechanism includes a cooling box 6 fixedly connected to a base 1. A first delivery pump 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the cooling box 6. Two first branch hoses 8 are fixedly connected to the output end of the first delivery pump 7. One end of each first branch hose 8 is fixedly connected to a first central frame 9, and one side of the first central frame 9 is fixedly connected to one end of a corresponding cooling channel 4. The two first branch hoses 8 and the cooling box 6 are fixedly connected to the same first return water pipe 10. A first solenoid valve is fixedly installed inside both the first delivery pump 7 and the first return water pipe 10. A semiconductor cooler 11 is embedded and fixedly installed at the bottom of the cooling box 6.
[0022] Through the above technical solution, the operation of the first delivery pump 7 can deliver the cooling medium in the cooling box 6 to the cooling channels 4 in the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3, thereby cooling the automotive plastic parts internally, reducing the transmission distance and improving the cooling effect.
[0023] The recycling mechanism includes an insulated box 12 fixedly connected to a base 1. A second delivery pump 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the insulated box 12. Two second branch hoses 14 are fixedly connected to the output end of the second delivery pump 13. A second central frame 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each branch hose 14. One side of the second central frame 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the corresponding cooling channel 4. A second solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the output end of the second delivery pump 13. An insulated frame 16 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the injection molding tube 5.

This can indirectly improve the fluidity of the injection material, thereby improving the injection effect and achieving the effect of energy recovery and utilization.
[0025] Working principle: The operation of the first delivery pump 7 can deliver the cooling medium in the cooling box 6 to the cooling channels 4 in the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3, thereby cooling the automotive plastic parts internally. This can reduce the transmission distance and thus improve the cooling effect.
[0026] The heated medium passes through the connecting pipe 18, the heat exchange pipe 17, and the second return water pipe 19 in sequence before entering the insulation box 12. The heat exchange pipe 17 heats and keeps the injection material in the injection tube 5 warm, preventing it from cooling down. At the same time, when the next injection is performed, the second delivery pump 13 runs to transport the hot medium in the insulation box 12 to the cooling channel 4, which can heat the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 respectively. This can indirectly improve the fluidity of the injection material, thereby improving the injection effect and achieving the effect of energy recovery and utilization.
