Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, is a structurally improved hot runner temperature control box, including a main box body 1, with a box housing cavity 11 formed inside the main box body 1, and a front panel 12 located on the front side of the box housing cavity 11 and a rear panel 13 located on the rear side of the box housing cavity 11.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the housing cavity 11 contains a control circuit board 2, the front panel 12 is equipped with a main controller 3, and the rear panel 13 is equipped with an injection molding machine connection interface 4. The main controller 3 and the injection molding machine connection interface 4 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. It should be noted that the main controller 3 in this embodiment is an LCD controller.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the back panel 13 is equipped with a heater connection interface 5 for connecting multiple sets of hot runner heaters on the side of the injection molding machine connection interface 4. The heater connection interface 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the front panel 12 is equipped with several hot runner temperature control cards 6 arranged in an array on the side of the main controller 3, and each hot runner temperature control card 6 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2.

[0035] When the hot runner temperature control box with the improved structure in this embodiment is working, the injection molding machine connection interface 4 is electrically connected to the injection molding machine controller through a signal line; when the heating temperature of the hot runner heater reaches the set value, the control circuit board 2 feeds back the signal to the injection molding machine controller through the signal line, and the injection molding machine controller then controls the injection action, thereby realizing linkage with the injection molding machine.

[0036] It should be noted that the improved hot runner temperature control box in this embodiment connects multiple sets of hot runner heaters through the heater connection interface 5, and each set of hot runner heaters corresponds to a hot runner temperature control card 6. In use, when the heating temperatures of multiple sets of hot runner heaters are different, the operator can control the corresponding hot runner heater and display the working status through each hot runner temperature control card 6, so as to realize the individual control of each hot runner heater.

[0037] It should be emphasized that when the hot runner temperature control box with the improved structure in this embodiment is working, the operator can realize the synchronous setting of all hot runner temperature control cards 6 through the main controller 3, that is, realize the synchronous heating of all hot runner heaters through the main controller 3, thereby avoiding the need to operate each hot runner temperature control card 6 to control the corresponding hot runner heater, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0038] In summary, the improved hot runner temperature control box of this embodiment has the advantages of novel structural design and good ease of use.

[0039] Example 2, as shown in Figure 3, differs from Example 1 in that the control circuit board 2 is provided with a plug-in interface 21 corresponding to the main controller 3 and each hot runner temperature control card 6. The power terminals of the main controller 3 and each hot runner temperature control card 6 are plugged into the corresponding plug-in interface 21 to achieve electrical connection.

[0040] For the improved hot runner temperature control box in this embodiment 2, by setting the plug-in interface 21, this embodiment 2 can realize quick electrical connection between the hot runner control card, the main controller 3 and the control circuit board 2, so as to improve the convenience of assembly operations.

[0041] Example 3, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, differs from Example 1 in that: a power supply 71 is also embedded in the housing cavity 11, the power supply 71 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2, and the power supply 71 is provided with a power line 72 extending to the outside of the main housing 1.

[0042] When the improved hot runner temperature control box of this embodiment 3 is working, the power cord 72 is connected to the mains power.

[0043] Example 4, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, differs from Example 1 in that: the outer wall of the main housing 1 is equipped with an alarm light 8, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2.

[0044] When the hot runner temperature control box with the improved structure in this embodiment 4 is working, if an abnormal situation occurs, the control circuit board 2 will activate the alarm light 8, and the alarm light 8 will emit an alarm signal to remind the staff to perform maintenance operations in a timely manner.

[0045] Example 5, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, differs from Example 1 in that the main housing 1 is further provided with a left side plate 14 located on the left side of the housing cavity 11 and a right side plate 15 located on the right side of the housing cavity 11. The left side plate 14 and the right side plate 15 are respectively equipped with lifting handles 91.

[0046] The lifting handles 91 installed on the left side panel 14 and the right side panel 15 can facilitate the movement of the main body 1.

[0047] Example 6, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, differs from Example 1 in that: the rear panel 13 has a heat dissipation vent 131, and the housing cavity 11 is fitted with a cooling fan 92 that blows air toward the heat dissipation vent 131.

[0048] In addition, the main body 1 is also provided with a bottom plate 16, and the bottom plate 16 has heat dissipation air inlet holes 161.

[0049] When the improved hot runner temperature control box of this embodiment is working, the control circuit board 2 controls the cooling fan 92 to start. Under the driving action of the cooling fan 92, the external cold air enters the box housing cavity 11 through the heat dissipation air inlet 161 of the bottom plate 16, and the heat dissipation air is finally discharged through the heat dissipation air outlet 131 of the rear plate 13. When the heat dissipation air passes through the box housing cavity 11, the heat dissipation air dissipates heat from the control circuit board 2, the hot runner control card and the main controller 3.

[0050] Example 7, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, differs from Example 1 in that: the lower surface of the base plate 16 is equipped with a number of spaced foot pads 93.

[0051] Example 8, as shown in Figure 2, differs from Example 1 in that: an air switch 94 is installed on the outer wall of the main housing 1, and the air switch 94 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2.

[0052] In the operation of the improved hot runner temperature control box in this embodiment eight, when an abnormal situation occurs, such as leakage or short circuit in the hot runner heater, the air switch 94 will automatically disconnect to achieve a protective function.
