Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the water-cooling structure for plastic molds provided by this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the rear oblique tilting structure of this utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cooling hole structure in this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the cooling cylinder, overflow pipe, and serpentine pipe in this utility model. The water-cooling structure of the plastic mold includes: multiple cooling holes 7 formed on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, which are linearly distributed on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 to ensure uniform cooling; a support platform 3 is fixed to the bottom of the lower mold 2, and a transfer water tank 18 is provided on one side of the support platform 3; a cooling cylinder 19 is provided below the transfer water tank 18, which can perform preliminary cooling of the used coolant; and water inlet pipes 8 and water outlet pipes 9 are respectively provided on both sides of the support platform 3. Corrugated pipes 10 are fixed to the top of both water inlet pipes 8 and water outlet pipes 9, and connecting pipes 11 are fixed to the top of both corrugated pipes 10. Two liquid distribution pipes 12 are provided on both sides of the upper mold 1, and branch pipes 13 are fixed on the water inlet pipe 8, water outlet pipe 9 and two connecting pipes 11. One end of each of the four branch pipes 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding liquid distribution pipe 12. Multiple branch pipes 2 14 are fixed on each of the four liquid distribution pipes 12. Multiple branch pipes 2 14 are fixedly connected to the corresponding upper mold 1 and lower mold 2, and multiple branch pipes 2 14 are connected to the corresponding cooling holes 7. This forms a flow path for the coolant, allowing the coolant to enter the cooling holes 7 through the branch pipes 2 14, thereby cooling the upper mold 1 and lower mold 2.

[0022] In this method, in order to smoothly draw the coolant into the cooling hole 7 to form water cooling, a first station plate 4 and a second station plate 5 are fixed at the bottom of the support platform 3, and the cooling cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the second station plate 5. The same coolant tank 6 is fixed at the bottom of the first station plate 4 and the second station plate 5. A first water pump 15 is fixed on the first station plate 4. One end of a water pipe 16 is fixed to the outlet of the first water pump 15, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 8. One end of a water suction pipe 17 is fixed to the inlet of the first water pump 15, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the coolant tank 6. Thus, when the first water pump 15 is started, coolant can be drawn for water cooling.

[0023] In this method, in order to draw the used coolant into the cooling cylinder 19 for cooling, a second water pump 20 is fixed on the outer wall of the cooling cylinder 19. One end of a water guide pipe 21 is fixed to the inlet of the second water pump 20, and the other end is fixedly connected to the transfer water tank 18. One end of a drain pipe 22 is fixed to the outlet of the second water pump 20, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cooling cylinder 19. A one-way valve is provided on the drain pipe 22. The one-way valve can prevent the coolant from flowing back into the drain pipe 22. The connection position of the drain pipe 22 and the cooling cylinder 19 is located at the lower part of the cooling cylinder 19. This allows the coolant to enter from the bottom of the cooling cylinder 19 during the cooling process, so that the cooled coolant can be discharged through the overflow pipe 24 mentioned below. The coolant that enters later still needs to be agitated and cooled for a period of time before being discharged through the overflow pipe 24. This ensures that each part of the coolant can be cooled evenly.

[0024] In the above method, in order to quickly cool the coolant, an installation strip is bolted to the top of the cooling cylinder 19, and an agitator is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the strip. A motor is fixed to the top of the installation strip, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the agitator. The agitator quickly agitates the coolant, increasing its contact area and frequency with air, thereby accelerating the cooling speed. In addition, a support plate is fixed on the second plate 5, and its top is fixedly connected to the transfer water tank 18. Two cooling fans 23 are fixed at the bottom of the support plate. These cooling fans 23 are located above the cooling cylinder 19, so that they correspond to the cooling cylinder 19 and can blow air onto the coolant while agitating it, further improving the cooling speed.

[0025] In this method, in order to perform secondary cooling of the coolant that has undergone preliminary cooling, an overflow pipe 24 is fixed on the cooling cylinder 19, and a serpentine pipe 25 is fixed at its bottom end. The bottom end of the serpentine pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the coolant tank 6, and heat dissipation fins 26 are fixed on both sides of the serpentine pipe 25. Through the heat absorption performance of the heat dissipation fins 26, the coolant can be cooled again. In order to further improve the cooling speed, a back plate is fixed on the plate 25, and multiple cooling fans 27 are fixed on it. The cooling fans 27 correspond to the heat dissipation fins 26 and can blow air onto the heat dissipation fins 26, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation speed. This indirectly improves the heat dissipation speed of the coolant.

[0026] The working principle of the water-cooled structure for plastic molds provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0027] In this invention, a liquid injection pipe is fixed to the top of the coolant tank 6, through which a sufficient amount of coolant can be injected into the coolant tank 6.

[0028] When cooling the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, water pump 15 is started, and coolant begins to enter the water pumping pipe 17. Then, it enters the multiple cooling holes 7 on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 through the water pipe 16, the water inlet pipe 8, the corrugated pipe 10, the connecting pipe 11, the branch pipe 13 and the branch pipe 2 14, and flows through them. During the flow, most of the heat of the mold core can be carried away, thereby quickly cooling the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

[0029] After cooling, the coolant is discharged into the transfer tank 18 through the outlet pipe 9. Then, water pump 20, cooling fan 1 23, cooling fan 27, and the motor are started. At this time, under the operation of water pump 20, the coolant in the transfer tank 18 is drawn into the cooling cylinder 19. Simultaneously, driven by the motor, the agitator rotates, thus agitating the used coolant and increasing its cooling rate. During the agitation process, cooling fan 1 23 also rapidly blows air onto the coolant, further increasing the cooling speed. Meanwhile, water pump 20... With continuous operation of the cooling coil 19, the coolant level in the cooling cylinder 19 gradually rises until it is level with the overflow pipe 24. The excess coolant then flows into the serpentine pipe 25 through the overflow pipe 24. At this point, the coolant is further cooled by the heat absorption of the heat dissipation fins 26. Meanwhile, the cooling fan 27 continues to act on the heat dissipation fins 26, which quickly eliminates the temperature on the heat dissipation fins 26, thereby further improving the heat absorption effect on the coolant. Finally, the cooled coolant returns to the coolant tank 6 and can be pumped out for use again.

[0030] Compared with related technologies, the water-cooling structure for plastic molds provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] This utility model provides a water-cooling structure for plastic molds. By passing the used coolant into the cooling cylinder 19 for initial cooling and then through the serpentine tube 25 for secondary cooling, the temperature of the coolant can be reduced to a usable temperature, thereby increasing the service life of the coolant and increasing the number of times the coolant can be recycled. This allows the coolant to be effectively recycled, thus reducing the cooling cost for the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
