[0007] Furthermore, the lower mold has frame frames fixedly installed on both the inner and outer sides of its lower end, and two sealing gaskets are fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, support plates are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the base plate. The support plates are L-shaped, and fixing holes are opened on the lower side wall of the support plates.
[0010] Furthermore, each of the two heat dissipation fins is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, with the larger end fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation plate.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-cavity injection mold cooling system, comprising: a lower mold 1 and a base plate 4. The lower mold 1 has an inner cavity 2 that penetrates the bottom sidewall of the lower mold 1. The base plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the lower mold 1 by bolts. Frames 3 are fixedly installed on both the inner and outer sides of the lower end of the lower mold 1. Two sealing gaskets 5 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 4. When the base plate 4 is fixed to the lower end of the lower mold 1 by bolts, the two sealing gaskets 5 are in close contact with the lower end faces of the two frame plates 3 respectively. Specifically, after the bolts pass through the outer frame plates 3 and the base plate 4, nuts are threaded onto them. By screwing the nuts... After tightening, the sealing gasket 5 and the frame 3 are brought into close contact to seal the lower port of the lower mold 1. A water inlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the lower mold 1, and a water outlet pipe 8 is fixedly installed on the upper right side. The inner ends of the water inlet pipe 7 and the water outlet pipe 8 are connected to the cavity 2. The water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the external output pipe, and the water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the external drain pipe. Cooling water is injected into the cavity 2 through the water inlet pipe 7. The cooling water gradually moves upward in the cavity 2 and is then discharged out of the cavity 2 through the water outlet pipe 8, so that the cooling water in the cavity 2 is in a flowing state. The flowing cooling water carries the heat generated during the injection molding of the product, allowing the product to be quickly molded and cooled.
[0023] Several heat dissipation plates 13 are evenly fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 4. Several heat dissipation fins 14 are evenly fixedly installed on one side wall of each heat dissipation plate 13. The other end of the heat dissipation plate 13 is attached to the outer wall of the injection cavity of the lower mold 1. The injection cavity transfers heat to the heat dissipation plate 13, and then to the heat dissipation fins 14, increasing the heat dissipation area. Each heat dissipation fin 14 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, with the larger end fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation plate 13, allowing the volume of the heat dissipation fin 14 to gradually decrease from the inside to the outside. Due to the reduced heat transfer, the volume of the second heat dissipation fin 14 is reduced, thereby lowering the material cost of the second heat dissipation fin 14 without affecting heat dissipation. Each second heat dissipation fin 14 has symmetrical heat dissipation grooves 15 on the outer walls at both ends. The heat dissipation grooves 15 increase the contact area between the second heat dissipation fin 14 and the cooling water, improving the efficiency of heat exchange with the cooling water. Specifically, when cooling water is injected into the cavity 2, the cooling water comes into contact with the second heat dissipation plate 13 and the second heat dissipation fin 14, increasing the efficiency of heat exchange between the cooling water and the injection cavity, and improving the cooling efficiency.
[0024] A sealing gasket 2 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the heat sink 10. The sealing gasket 2 11 is located outside the heat sink fin 12 and the strip hole 9, and the sealing gasket 2 11 is in close contact with the outer wall of the lower mold 1.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, heat dissipation plates 10 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sidewalls of the lower mold 1 by bolts. Heat dissipation fins 12 are uniformly fixedly installed on the sidewalls of the heat dissipation plates 10. The front and rear ends of the heat dissipation fins 12 pass through the front and rear sidewalls of the heat dissipation plates 10. Several strip holes 9 corresponding to the heat dissipation fins 12 are opened on the sidewalls of the front and rear ends of the lower mold 1. One end of the heat dissipation fin 12 passes through the strip hole 9 and contacts the outer wall of the injection cavity. The heat dissipation fin 12 is located in the middle part of the injection cavity. It does not contact the upper and lower ends of cavity 2, which facilitates the passage of cooling water. The heat generated when the product is injected into the injection cavity is transferred to the outer end through the heat dissipation fin 12 and comes into contact with the air, further accelerating the heat dissipation of the injection mold. More specifically, when the product is injected into the injection cavity of the lower mold 1, the heat generated in the injection cavity is transferred to the heat dissipation fin 12, which transfers the heat to the outer end and comes into contact with the air. At the same time, the heat dissipation fin 12 also comes into contact with the cooling water, further accelerating the heat dissipation of the injection mold and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, support plates 6 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the base plate 4. The support plates 6 are L-shaped, and fixing holes are provided on the lower sidewalls of the support plates 6. More specifically, the lower mold 1 is supported by the support plates 6, and the support plates 6 and the lower mold 1 are easily fixed to the operating table through the fixing holes.
[0027] When this device is working, the base plate 4 and the lower mold 1 are fixed on the operating table. Then, the upper mold is installed on the upper end of the lower mold 1 through the driving component. The upper mold is fixed on the upper end of the lower mold 1 by the driving component, and injection molding can be performed in the injection cavity. Then, cooling water is injected into the cavity 2 through the water inlet pipe 7. The cooling water gradually moves upward in the cavity 2 and comes into contact with the heat dissipation fins 12 and 14 and the side wall of the injection cavity for heat exchange. Then, it is discharged out of the cavity 2 through the water outlet pipe 8, so that the cooling water in the cavity 2 is in a flowing state. The flowing cooling water carries the heat generated when the product is injected, so that the product can be quickly formed and cooled, improving the cooling efficiency.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
