The horizontal through-type design of the runner outlet in existing hot runner molds causes the injection molding material to accumulate at the bottom of the mold cavity, making it impossible to fill evenly.

Method used

Design a hot runner structure for an injection mold, including a sprue bushing, a hot runner, a connecting cylinder, and an inclined runner outlet. The connecting cylinder connects the hot runner to the nozzle tip to ensure uniform filling of the injection molding material.

Benefits of technology

The injection molding material flows out through the inclined runner outlet, avoiding accumulation at the bottom of the mold cavity and achieving uniform filling of the injection molding material.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, and in particular to a hot runner structure for injection molds. Background Technology

[0002] In injection molding, the hot runner system is a crucial component of the mold, playing a vital role in improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. The hot runner mold structure is essentially the same as that of a two-plate mold, consisting of an insulated hot runner system and a heated hot runner system. The insulated hot runner uses a material with very low thermal conductivity around the runner to insulate it from the molten plastic, while the heated runner is controlled by heating elements on the runner. Modern hot runner systems for injection molding typically include hot nozzles, a manifold, and a temperature controller. The hot nozzles are in contact with the surface of the manifold, and the temperature controller controls the melting temperature and plasticizing time of the plastic. During injection molding, the molten plastic flows through the manifold into the hot nozzles, and then into the mold cavity for molding.

[0003] Hot runner molds are commonly used injection molding molds for plastic materials. Compared to cold runner molds, they offer advantages such as saving raw materials, shortening the molding cycle, reducing waste, improving product quality, eliminating subsequent processes, and facilitating production automation. However, in hot runner molds, the runner outlet and the hot runner are typically horizontally connected. This causes the injection material to accumulate at the bottom of the mold cavity when the material exits the runner, preventing the material from filling the mold interior evenly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a hot runner structure for injection molds.

[0005] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A hot runner structure for an injection mold includes a sprue bushing, a hot runner is installed on the right side of the sprue bushing, a nozzle is provided on the right side of the hot runner, and a runner outlet is provided at the top of the nozzle.

[0007] Furthermore, the right end plane of the nozzle tip is less than 0.1 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, a connecting cylinder is provided between the hot runner and the nozzle tip, and the hot runner and the nozzle tip are connected by the connecting cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a gate is provided on the left side of the gate sleeve, and the gate is configured to communicate with the hot runner.

[0010] Furthermore, the hot runner is connected to the connecting cylinder, the connecting cylinder is connected to the runner outlet, and the runner outlet is inclined.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model discloses a hot runner structure for injection molds. During use, the device is installed on the injection mold. The injection material enters the gate and reaches the inside of the hot runner. After passing through the hot runner, the injection material flows out from the runner outlet. Because of the inclined setting of the runner outlet, the injection material will not accumulate at the bottom of the mold cavity after flowing out from the runner outlet, thus making the injection material evenly fill the inside of the mold.
