Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, and in particular to a water channel for an injection molded pipe fitting. Background Technology
[0002] In injection molding of pipe fittings, the cooling stage is the most crucial phase, accounting for approximately 60% to 70% of the entire process. To ensure product quality, the mold temperature control system must guarantee uniform mold temperature, eliminating localized overcooling or overheating. For large-diameter pipe fitting molds, due to the thick walls, long cooling times, and significant shrinkage and warping issues, the quality of the mold's cooling system design is paramount. Existing cooling system designs, using straight-through, series, and parallel connections, fail to achieve effective cooling, resulting in poor product quality. Therefore, a comprehensive cooling system design must be developed, tailored to the shape and number of channels to ensure uniform wall thickness and achieve optimal cooling, guaranteeing both product quality and efficiency.

The cavity water channel includes a cavity inlet water channel, a cavity outlet water channel and an annular water channel. The annular water channel is arranged inside the upper mold frame. The two ends of the annular water channel are respectively connected to the cavity inlet water channel and the cavity outlet water channel. The annular water channel surrounds the cavity. The core water channel connects to the inside of the core. The core is fixed on the lower mold frame.
[0005] The upper mold frame is provided with a cavity insert, and the annular water channel is provided on the cavity insert.

[0007] A water channel sealing plate is provided above the upper mold frame, and the water channel sealing plate is located at the top of the annular water channel.
[0008] The annular water channel is equidistant from the cavity wall.
[0009] The core water circuit includes a water baffle, a core water inlet circuit, and a core water outlet circuit. A cooling cavity is provided on the core, and a water baffle is provided inside the cooling cavity. The water baffle divides the cooling cavity into two parts, and the inner ends of the two parts are connected to each other.
