[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 A rapid cooling injection mold for automotive wiring harness sheaths includes a lower mold 1 and an upper mold 2. The upper mold 2 is located above the lower mold 1. A molding groove 3 is provided at the top of the lower mold 1. An injection nozzle 4 is provided between the upper and lower ends of the upper mold 2, and the injection nozzle 4 corresponds to the molding groove 3. A lower cooling pipe 5 is fixedly connected inside the lower mold 1, and the lower cooling pipe 5 is located outside the molding groove 3. An upper cooling pipe 6 is fixedly connected inside the upper mold 2, and the upper cooling pipe 6 is located outside the injection nozzle 4. A connector 7 is fixedly connected to one side of both the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, and the two connectors 7 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6. A lower connector 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower mold 1, and the lower connector 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lower cooling pipe 5. An upper connector 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold 2, and the upper connector 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the upper cooling pipe 6 and matches the lower connector 8. A connecting mechanism is provided inside the lower connector 8 and the upper connector 9, which is used to realize rapid connection and closure between the lower connector 8 and the upper connector 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6 are connected to an external cooling water circulation system via two connectors 7. The connector 7 connected to the upper cooling pipe 6 is the water inlet, and the connector 7 connected to the lower cooling pipe 5 is the water outlet. During injection molding of the automotive wiring harness sheath, the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 close, allowing the molten plastic to be injected into the molding groove 3 through the injection nozzle 4. Simultaneously, through the closing of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2, the upper connector 9 and the lower connector 8 are correspondingly inserted. The connecting mechanism opens the upper connector 9 to connect with the lower connector 8, thereby allowing the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6 to communicate with each other. The cooling pipes 6 are connected, and the external cooling water circulation system makes the cooling water flow in the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6 through two connectors 7, which flow around the injection nozzle 4 and the molding groove 3, accelerating the cooling and molding of the automotive wiring harness sheath in the molding groove 3. After the automotive wiring harness sheath is cooled and molded, the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 open to remove the automotive wiring harness sheath. At the same time, the upper connector 9 and the lower connector 8 move away from each other, and the connecting mechanism automatically closes the upper connector 9, canceling the connection between the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6 to prevent cooling water leakage.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a fixed ring 101, a push rod 102, a sealing plate 103, a spring 104, and a fixed post 105. The fixed ring 101 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the upper connector 9. The push rod 102 is slidably connected to the upper connector 9 and moves through the fixed ring 101. The sealing plate 103 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the push rod 102 and corresponds to the fixed ring 101. The spring 104 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the push rod 102 and is located between the top of the sealing plate 103 and the top wall of the upper connector 9. The fixed post 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the lower connector 8 and corresponds to the push rod 102.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 close to connect the lower connector 8 and the upper connector 9, the ejector rod 102 is lifted relative to the fixing post 105, causing the sealing plate 103 to move away from the fixing ring 101 and compress the sealing plate 103 against the spring 104. After the sealing plate 103 moves away from the fixing ring 101, the upper connector 9 opens and connects with the lower connector 8, realizing the water circuit connection between the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6. When the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 open to separate the upper connector 9 and the lower connector 8, the ejector rod 102 moves away from the fixing post 105, making the bottom unrestricted. The elastic force of the spring 104 acts on the sealing plate 103, causing the sealing plate 103 and the ejector rod 102 to move downward. The sealing plate 103 moves downward and contacts the fixing ring 101, thereby closing the upper connector 9 and preventing cooling water leakage after the connection between the lower connector 8 and the upper connector 9 is broken.

[0032] Specifically, sealing rings 11 are fixedly connected to the ends of the fixing ring 101 and the sealing sheet 103 that are close to each other, and the two sealing rings 11 correspond to each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the sealing sheet 103 and the fixing ring 101 are in contact, the two sealing rings 11 are located between the fixing ring 101 and the sealing sheet 103, thereby improving the sealing effect of the fixing ring 101 and the sealing sheet 103.

[0034] Specifically, a sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the lower connector 8, and the sealing ring 12 corresponds to the upper connector 9.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the upper connector 9 and the lower connector 8 are plugged in, the sealing ring 12 contacts the surface of the upper connector 9, which improves the sealing performance of the lower connector 8 and the upper connector 9 after connection and prevents cooling water leakage.

[0036] Specifically, the top of the lower mold 1 is fixedly connected with a guide post 13, and the bottom of the upper mold 2 is provided with a positioning groove 14, and the guide post 13 matches the positioning groove 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 are closed, the guide post 13 slides in the corresponding positioning groove 14, which can ensure the accuracy of the mold closing of the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2.

[0038] Working principle: During injection molding of the automotive wiring harness sheath, the lower mold 1 and upper mold 2 close, allowing molten plastic to be injected into the molding groove 3 through the injection nozzle 4. Simultaneously, through the closing of the lower mold 1 and upper mold 2, the upper connector 9 and lower connector 8 are inserted into each other, and the ejector rod 102 is lifted relative to the fixing post 105, causing the sealing plate 103 to move away from the fixing ring 101 and compress the sealing plate 103 against the spring 104. After the sealing plate 103 moves away from the fixing ring 101, the upper connector 9 opens and connects with the lower connector 8, thereby connecting the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6. The external cooling water circulation system allows cooling water to flow between the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe through two connectors 7. A circulation is formed within 6, flowing around the injection nozzle 4 and the molding groove 3, accelerating the cooling and molding of the molten plastic in the molding groove 3 and the injection nozzle 4. After the automotive wiring harness sheath is cooled and molded, the lower mold 1 and the upper mold 2 open to remove the automotive wiring harness sheath. At the same time, the upper connector 9 and the lower connector 8 move away from each other, and the push rod 102 moves away from the fixing post 105 so that the bottom is unrestricted. The elastic force of the spring 104 acts on the sealing plate 103, causing the sealing plate 103 and the push rod 102 to move down. The sealing plate 103 moves down and contacts the fixing ring 101, thereby closing the upper connector 9, canceling the connection between the lower cooling pipe 5 and the upper cooling pipe 6, and preventing cooling water leakage.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
