Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, and in particular to a rapid cooling device for desktop injection molding machine molds. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding is a common plastic processing technology. Injection molding machines use pressure to squeeze molten plastic into the cavity of a mold to obtain parts of a specific shape. It has the advantages of high efficiency and low cost per unit.

[0003] Desktop injection molding machines are easy to operate and widely used in multi-variety, small-batch production. Their molds typically employ aluminum quick-release molds, i.e., two-platen molds without a mold base. Combining these with small desktop injection molding machines can shorten the mold processing cycle and significantly reduce costs. However, aluminum quick-release molds lack cooling water channels after injection and rely solely on natural cooling, requiring a long time to cool down, resulting in low processing efficiency and impacting production productivity. This is one of the reasons limiting their application. Standard injection molding machines, on the other hand, have complex mold water systems, and the need for higher flow rates and pressures necessitates the use of metal piping, further increasing costs and making them unsuitable for cooling desktop injection molding machine molds. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This application discloses a rapid cooling device for desktop injection molding machine molds, including an upper metal cooling plate 1 and a lower metal cooling plate 2. A first receiving cavity 11 is provided on one side of the upper metal cooling plate 1, and an injection port 12 is provided on the other side of the upper metal cooling plate 1. The injection port 12 is connected to the first receiving cavity 11. A first channel assembly is provided inside the upper metal cooling plate 1. The first channel assembly includes a plurality of spaced-apart first channels 13. The first channels 13 horizontally penetrate the upper metal cooling plate 1. The first channel 13 at the beginning is connected to a first water inlet pipe 14, and the first channel 13 at the end is connected to a first water outlet pipe 15. A first connecting hose 16 connects adjacent first channels 13 to enable the plurality of first channels 13 to be interconnected. The lower metal cooling plate 2 is connected to the upper metal cooling plate 1 in an openable manner. A second receiving cavity 21 is provided on one side of the lower metal cooling plate 2. A second channel assembly is provided inside the lower metal cooling plate 2. The second channel assembly includes multiple second channels 22 spaced apart. The second channel 22 at the first end is connected to a second water inlet pipe 23, and the second channel 22 at the tail end is connected to a second water outlet pipe 24. Adjacent second channels 22 are connected by a second connecting hose 25 so that the multiple second channels 22 are connected. The first receiving cavity 11 matches the upper mold of the mold, and the second receiving cavity 21 matches the lower mold of the mold. The upper and lower molds of the mold are stabilized by the upper metal cooling plate 1 and the lower metal cooling plate 2, which facilitates injection molding.

[0027] This invention simplifies manufacturing by directly creating a first channel 13 on the upper metal cooling plate 1 and a second channel 22 on the lower metal cooling plate 2 to facilitate the passage of cooling water. Adjacent first channels 13 are connected by a first connecting hose 16, and adjacent second channels 22 are connected by a second connecting hose 25. This eliminates concerns about interference similar to rigid pipes when the upper and lower metal cooling plates 1 and 2 are opened and closed, ensuring smooth operation. Furthermore, it is cost-effective and suitable for improving efficiency and saving time in small-batch production.

[0028] To facilitate the opening and closing of the upper metal cooling plate 1 and the lower metal cooling plate 2, it is preferable that the upper metal cooling plate 1 and the lower metal cooling plate 2 are hinged together.

[0029] Specifically, the upper metal cooling plate 1 is provided with a plurality of first hinge blocks 17 at intervals, and the lower metal cooling plate 2 is provided with a plurality of second hinge blocks 26 at intervals. Each first hinge block 17 is connected to the corresponding second hinge block 26 by a pin 3.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The upper metal cooling plate 1 has a first upper end surface 181 and a second upper end surface 182 opposite to the first upper end surface 181. A plurality of first hinge blocks 17 are spaced apart on the first upper end surface 181, and a first channel 13 passes through the first upper end surface 181 and the second upper end surface 182. The lower metal cooling plate 2 has a first lower end surface 271 and a second lower end surface 272 opposite to the first lower end surface 271. A plurality of second hinge blocks 26 are spaced apart on the first lower end surface 271, and a second channel 22 passes through the first lower end surface 271 and the second lower end surface 272.

[0031] Multiple first channels 13 and multiple second channels 22 are preferably arranged in parallel to improve the uniformity of water cooling heat dissipation and the overall heat dissipation effect is good.

[0032] Further optimization is made to ensure that both the first channel 13 and the second channel 22 are straight channels, which facilitates processing, improves production efficiency, and reduces costs.

[0033] To further improve heat dissipation efficiency, a heat dissipation assembly 19 is preferably provided on the other side of the upper metal cooling plate 1. In this case, multiple first channels 13 are located between the heat dissipation assembly 19 and the first receiving cavity 11. Through the arrangement of the heat dissipation assembly 19, the heat carried away by the cooling water is quickly dissipated again through the heat dissipation assembly 19, further improving the heat dissipation effect. Specifically, the heat dissipation assembly 19 includes multiple heat dissipation fins 191 arranged at intervals, and the heat dissipation fins 191 extend in a direction away from the first receiving cavity 11.

[0034] Preferably, both the first connecting hose 16 and the second connecting hose 25 are silicone tubes, which are easy to deform and have a long service life. The silicone tubes are equipped with connectors, which are inserted into the first channel 13 or the second channel 22 to achieve communication between the first channel 13 and the first connecting hose 16, and between the second channel 22 and the second connecting hose 25.

[0035] The water path of the upper metal cooling plate 1 consists of multiple first channels 13 and multiple first connecting hoses 16 on the upper metal cooling plate 1, while the water path of the lower metal cooling plate 2 consists of multiple second channels 22 and multiple second connecting hoses 25 on the lower metal cooling plate 2. Figure 4 The dashed line in the middle represents the path through which cooling water flows inside the lower metal cooling plate 2.

[0036] Before the first injection, the upper metal cooling plate 1 and the lower metal cooling plate 2 are opened. The lower mold is first fixed in the second receiving cavity 21 of the lower metal cooling plate 1. The upper mold is then placed on top of the lower mold, and the upper metal cooling plate 1 is closed. At this time, the upper mold is located in the first receiving cavity 11 of the upper metal cooling plate 1. The injection plastic is injected through the injection port 12. Simultaneously, the cooling water is activated. The cooling water flows into multiple first channels 13 through the first inlet pipe 14 and into multiple second channels 22 through the second inlet pipe 23, allowing the cooling water to flow through the upper metal cooling plate 1 and the lower metal cooling plate 2, carrying away the heat from the mold. The cooling water can be circulated and reused by flowing out through the first outlet pipe 15 and the second outlet pipe 24. After the injection is completed, the upper metal cooling plate 1 is opened, the upper mold is removed, and the injection-molded part can be taken out.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
