[0008] Furthermore: the heating tube is provided with limiting plates at both ends, and the limiting plates are fixed to the two ends of the heating channel by screws, and multiple heating tubes are evenly distributed between the limiting plates.
[0009] Furthermore, the spiral holes are formed by casting and fit tightly against the surface of the spiral tube, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a mold temperature controller using an indirect heating module; specifically, it includes a frame 1, with a water pump 2 fixed at the lower end inside the frame 1. The output end of the water pump 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 3. The mold temperature controller is existing known technology and will not be described in detail here. The other end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to a separate heating mechanism, which includes a spiral tube 5 and a heating tube 7. The heating tube 7 is located inside the spiral tube 5, and a heating channel 4 is wrapped around the outside of the spiral tube 5. A reserved hole 8 is opened in the middle of the heating channel 4, and the reserved hole 8 is matched with the heating tube 7. The spiral tube 5 is also installed in the heating channel 4. After the heating tube 7 is powered on and heats up, it heats the spiral tube 5 located outside the heating tube 7. This is different from the traditional heating method. The heating tube 7 is separated from the spiral tube 5, which avoids scale affecting heating and heat dissipation. This not only improves the heating efficiency, but also avoids the rapid rise in tube surface temperature and expansion caused by the decrease in heat dissipation performance. After depressurization, water needs to be added again, which would cause the traditional electric heating tube to cool down rapidly. In this case of rapid heating and cooling, the stainless steel will have a longer service life due to continuous thermal expansion and contraction.
[0020] The interior of the heating channel 4 is filled with a die-cast aluminum filling layer 12. The die-cast aluminum filling layer 12 can improve the heat transfer efficiency of the heating tube 7 and can uniformly heat the spiral tube 5, further improving the heat exchange efficiency. The die-cast aluminum filling layer 12 is provided with a spiral hole 9 that matches the spiral tube 5. The spiral hole 9 is formed by casting, so it fits tightly with the surface of the spiral tube 5, improving the heating and heat exchange efficiency.
[0021] A heat-insulating hollow layer 10 is provided inside the heating channel 4. The heat-insulating hollow layer 10 can reduce the heat loss inside, thereby reducing the probability of heat loss and maintaining the internal temperature at a relatively required temperature. Reinforcing ribs 11 are fixed inside the heat-insulating hollow layer 10. Multiple reinforcing ribs 11 are provided to improve the connection stability between the heating channel 4 and the die-cast aluminum filling layer 12. The reinforcing ribs 11 are made of non-thermal conductive material.
[0022] Limiting plates 6 are provided at both ends of the heating tube 7. The limiting plates 6 are fixed to the two ends of the heating channel 4 by screws. Multiple heating tubes 7 with equal spacing are fixed between the limiting plates 6, thereby maintaining stability and preventing shaking, and improving the safety of the heating tube 7 during use.
