[0002] In daily injection mold production, products often exhibit clearly visible defects such as sunburst patterns, burn marks, color differences, and whitening on their surface. This is a common injection molding defect that is difficult to avoid. The core reason is insufficient cooling of the hot runner, which causes various defects on the plastic surface, especially noticeable with high-temperature materials such as PC. The temperature near the hot nozzle is extremely high, and the injection point is the surface of the product. Even with parameter adjustments or general cooling structures, these defects can only be mitigated, not completely eliminated. This has a significant impact on products with high appearance requirements. The presence of these defects greatly reduces the overall product quality, which is unacceptable to customers and results in considerable economic losses. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. A mold double-layer cooling device can eliminate injection molding defects, specifically used to eliminate defects such as sunspots and color spots during the process. The double-layer cooling device is disposed on the outer periphery of the hot nozzle 3. The double-layer cooling device includes a fixing part 1 and a cooling structure 2, wherein the fixing part 1 is located on the outer periphery of the hot nozzle 3, and the cooling structure is located on the fixing part 1.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In one embodiment, the fixing part 1 is annular, and a fixing plate 13 is provided above the fixing part 1. The fixing plate 13 is cylindrical and is fixed by bolts. An O-ring 11 is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate 13. The position of the fixing part 1 is fixed by the setting of the fastening bolts.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The cooling structure 2 is provided in two sets, namely an upper cooling circulation loop 21 and a lower cooling circulation loop 22. The upper cooling circulation loop 21 includes an upper water channel and an upper pipe channel. The upper pipe channel is used for the flow of the upper water channel. In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 and 3. The upper pipe channel includes a G-channel 211, an F-channel 212, and an E-channel 213. The G-channel 211 and the E-channel 213 extend vertically, and the line connecting the G-channel 211 and the E-channel 213 passes through the axis of the fixing part 1. The F-channel 212 is a semi-circular annular groove, and its two ends are respectively connected to the bottom of the G-channel 211 and the E-channel 213. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional dimensions of the G-channel 211 and the E-channel 213 in the vertical direction are 14*6 mm, and the dimensions of the F-channel 212 are 26*3 mm. By adjusting the size of the F-slot 212, water can flow through the flat slot, achieving large-area cooling without encountering a bottleneck in flow rate.

[0025] The upper water passage includes a second inlet pipe 214 and a second outlet pipe 215. The second inlet pipe 214 is connected to the G-slot 211, and the second outlet pipe 215 is connected to the top of the F-slot 212. In one embodiment, the diameter of the second inlet pipe 214 and the second outlet pipe 215 is 10 mm. By limiting the size of the G-slot 211, the E-slot 213, the second inlet pipe 214, and the second outlet pipe 215, it is ensured that the flow rates of the G-slot 211 and the E-slot 213 are basically the same as those of the second inlet pipe 214 and the second outlet pipe 215.

[0026] The lower cooling circulation loop 22 includes a lower water channel and a lower pipe channel. The lower pipe channel includes a channel A 221, a channel B 222, and a channel C 223.

The first inlet pipe 224 is connected to the top of the A tank 221, and the first outlet pipe 225 is connected to the top of the C tank 223. Water is supplied to the A tank 221 through the first inlet pipe 224, and the water flows through the A tank 221 to the bottom B tank 222, thereby cooling the bottom product. In one embodiment, the B tank 222 has a size of 15*5 mm, and the A tank 221 and the C tank 223 have a size of 14*8 mm.

[0028] The bottom of the fixing part 1 is also provided with a large sealing ring 23, which is used to prevent water from entering the product area.
