AI Technical Summary
After the injection and holding pressure stage of the injection molding machine, the molten material is prone to uncontrolled flow (flow phenomenon) due to the negative pressure generated by the screw retraction and the residual pressure of the melt, resulting in defects such as material waste, nozzle blockage or flow marks on the surface of the product.
Design an anti-melt flow nozzle, comprising a hollow nozzle body, a guide column, a piston ring, and a spring structure. The automatic opening and closing of the injection hole is achieved through the linkage between the spring and the piston ring. The injection pressure pushes the piston ring to slide. After injection, the spring resets to close the flow channel, preventing melt flow.
It effectively prevents the melt from flowing after injection molding due to its own weight or residual pressure, ensuring that the melt is accurately injected into the mold, avoiding material waste and nozzle blockage, and improving product quality and production efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, specifically to an anti-drip nozzle for injection molding machines. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molding, as a core process in polymer material processing, relies heavily on the performance of its core equipment, the injection molding machine, which directly impacts product quality and production efficiency. The nozzle, a crucial connecting component between the injection system and the mold, is responsible for injecting molten plastic into the mold cavity at high speed and with precision. However, after the injection holding phase, the negative pressure generated by the screw retraction and residual melt pressure can cause uncontrolled flow (i.e., "flow phenomenon") from the nozzle tip, leading to material waste, nozzle blockage, or flow marks on the product surface. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-drip nozzle for injection molding machines.
[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an anti-drip nozzle for an injection molding machine, comprising a hollow nozzle body and a nozzle head connected to the front end of the nozzle body, a guide column fixedly provided inside the nozzle head, an injection hole axially opened inside the guide column, one end of the injection hole communicating with the outside, and a plug threaded to the other end, a side hole communicating with the injection hole radially opened on the guide column near the plug, a piston chamber provided inside the nozzle head at the position corresponding to the side hole, a piston ring slidably provided inside the piston chamber on the guide column, a spring chamber provided on the side of the piston chamber away from the nozzle body, and a spring abutting against the piston ring inside the spring chamber.
[0005] Preferably, a heating sleeve is provided on the outer side of the nozzle body.
[0006] Preferably, a filter screen is provided between the nozzle body and the nozzle head.
[0007] Preferably, the filter screen has a funnel-shaped structure.
[0008] Preferably, the end wall of the spring cavity is provided with a gasket that abuts against the spring.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the automatic opening and closing of the injection passage is achieved through the cooperation of the spring and the piston ring. Under the action of injection pressure, the melt can be smoothly injected into the mold. After the pressure is removed, the piston ring is reset in time under the action of the spring to close the flow channel, which effectively prevents the melt from flowing due to its own weight or residual pressure after injection. Its structural design is reasonable and compact and does not require external power control. The mechanical structure has high reliability and is easy to maintain. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. 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 are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, the structure of this utility model is as follows: an anti-drip injection nozzle for an injection molding machine, comprising a hollow nozzle body 1 and an injection head 2 connected to the front end of the nozzle body 1. A guide column 3 is fixedly provided inside the injection head 2, and an injection hole 4 is axially formed inside the guide column 3. One end of the injection hole 4 communicates with the outside, and the other end is threadedly connected to a plug 5. A side hole 6 communicating with the injection hole 4 is radially formed on the guide column 3 near the plug 5. A piston chamber 7 is provided inside the injection head 2 at a position corresponding to the side hole 6. The piston chamber 7 slides on the guide column 3. A piston ring 8 is provided, and a spring cavity 9 is located on the side of the piston chamber 7 away from the nozzle body 1. A spring 10, which abuts against the piston ring 8, is located inside the spring cavity 9. Specifically, during injection molding, the melt enters the nozzle body 1 under high pressure. This pressure pushes the piston ring 8 to slide along the guide column 3 towards the spring cavity 9, compressing the spring 10. The piston ring 8 moves backward, exposing the side hole 6 of the guide column 3 and connecting it to the flow channel of the nozzle body 1. The melt then enters the injection hole 4 inside the guide column 3 through the side hole 6 and is injected into the mold cavity through the front end of the injection hole 4. After injection molding is completed, the melt pressure disappears, and the spring 10 rebounds, pushing the piston ring 8 to slide back to its initial position. The piston ring 8 completely covers the side hole 6, cutting off the connection between the injection hole 4 and the flow channel. Simultaneously, the plug 5 at the end of the guide column 3 prevents the piston ring 8 from excessively slipping. This process controls the opening and closing of the melt passage through the linkage of pressure and spring 10, physically sealing the flow channel at the moment of injection completion to prevent residual melt from dripping from the injection hole 4 due to gravity or residual pressure, achieving precise flow control.
[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a heating sleeve 11 is provided on the outer side of the nozzle body 1. Specifically, the heating sleeve 11 continuously heats the nozzle body 1 and the internal flow channel to maintain the temperature stability of the melt when it flows through the nozzle, and avoids the melt from increasing viscosity or solidifying locally due to temperature drop. This ensures smooth and uniform melt flow, which can prevent cold material from clogging the injection hole 4 or side hole 6 and affecting injection accuracy. It can also prevent the melt residue from sticking to the inside of the nozzle due to cooling and shrinkage when the melt flow is cut off, further improving the reliability of the anti-spraying effect.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a filter screen 12 is provided between the nozzle body 1 and the nozzle head 2. Specifically, the filter screen 12 intercepts impurities or incompletely melted particles in the melt, preventing them from entering the precision flow channel structure such as the guide column 3, side hole 6, and injection hole 4 inside the nozzle head 2. This avoids flow channel blockage or piston ring 8 jamming caused by particle accumulation, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the anti-casting mechanism. At the same time, it reduces product defects caused by impurities entering the mold, extends the service life of the internal components of the nozzle, and reduces the maintenance frequency.
[0022] Furthermore, the filter screen 12 has a funnel-shaped structure. The shape of the funnel can guide the direction of melt flow, making the melt flow smoother and reducing pressure loss.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the end wall of the spring cavity 9 is provided with a gasket 13 that abuts against the spring 10. Specifically, the preload of the spring 10 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the gasket 13, thereby adapting to melts with different flowability. This prevents leakage of low-viscosity melts due to insufficient sealing pressure of the piston ring 8 caused by insufficient preload of the spring 10, and avoids flow restriction of high-flowability melts due to excessive preload of the spring 10.
[0024] In practical use, during injection molding, the molten material enters the nozzle body 1 under high pressure. This pressure pushes the piston ring 8 along the guide column 3 towards the spring cavity 9, compressing the spring 10. The piston ring 8 moves backward, exposing the side hole 6 of the guide column 3 and connecting it to the flow channel of the nozzle body 1. The molten material then enters the injection hole 4 inside the guide column 3 through the side hole 6 and is injected into the mold cavity through the front end of the injection hole 4. After injection molding is complete, the molten material pressure disappears, and the spring 10 rebounds, pushing the piston ring 8 to slide back to its initial position. The piston ring 8 completely covers the side hole 6, cutting off the connection between the injection hole 4 and the flow channel. Simultaneously, the plug 5 at the end of the guide column 3 prevents the piston ring 8 from slipping excessively. This process controls the opening and closing of the molten material passage through the linkage of pressure and spring 10, physically sealing the flow channel at the moment of injection completion to prevent residual molten material from dripping from the injection hole 4 due to gravity or residual pressure, achieving precise flow control.
[0025] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the substance and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
