[0002] Injection molds are key equipment in plastic molding and processing, widely used in industries such as electronics, automotive, and medical. Their working principle involves injecting molten plastic into a closed mold cavity through an injection molding machine, where it cools and solidifies to form the desired plastic product. The mold mainly consists of a gating system, molding parts, and structural parts. The gating system is responsible for transporting the molten plastic, the molding parts determine the shape of the product, and the structural parts ensure the mold's opening, closing, and demolding actions. Injection molds are characterized by high precision, high efficiency, and good consistency in mass production, enabling the production of a diverse range of products, from precision electronic component housings to large automotive parts.
[0003] During injection molding, the mold needs to go through a cycle of heating and cooling. The cooling stage generates a lot of waste heat, which is mostly released directly into the environment and is not effectively recycled, resulting in energy waste. To address this, a connector plug injection mold is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] The front surface of the water storage tank 29 is connected to an inlet pipe 210, and the rear surface of the water storage tank 29 is connected to an outlet pipe 211. Electric valves 212 are installed on both the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 211. Temperature sensors 213 and controllers 214 are installed on the inner side wall of the water storage tank 29. The bottom of the water storage tank 29 is connected to a second diversion pipe 215. A second pump 216 is installed on the second diversion pipe 215. Heat exchange pipes 217 are evenly connected to the outer side wall of the second diversion pipe 215. One end of the heat exchange pipe 217 is connected to the water storage tank 29.
[0029] In this embodiment, specifically: the temperature sensor 213 and the controller 214 are connected by a signal. The probe of the temperature sensor 213 is installed inside the water storage tank 29 and is in contact with the hot water. When the water temperature reaches the standard, the controller 214 controls the electric valve 212 to open and send out the hot water.
[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: a main body component 10 is provided on one side of the recycling component 20, and the main body component 10 includes a lower mold base 11, a lower template 12 and a cavity 13;
[0031] The lower mold base 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower mold plate 12, and the top of the lower mold plate 12 is provided with a cavity 13, in which the product is cooled and formed.
[0032] In this embodiment, specifically: an upper template 16 is provided on the top of the lower template 12, an upper mold base 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper template 16, and an injection port 17 is provided on the top of the upper mold base 15. The raw materials for the production of connector plugs are injected into the cavity 13 through the injection port 17.
[0033] In this embodiment, specifically: a first liquid storage tank 21 and a second liquid storage tank 26 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower template 12, and the first liquid storage tank 21 and the second liquid storage tank 26 store coolant inside.
[0034] In this embodiment, specifically: the top of the first liquid storage tank 21 is connected to a first diversion pipe 22, a first pump 23 is installed on the first diversion pipe 22, a cooling pipe 24 is uniformly connected to the outer side wall of the first diversion pipe 22, one end of the cooling pipe 24 is connected to a manifold 25, the manifold 25 is connected to the second liquid storage tank 26, and the cooling pipe 24 is located in the area near the bottom of the cavity 13 to absorb the heat during the product cooling and molding process.

[0037] In operation, the raw materials for connector plug production are injected into the cavity 13 through the injection port 17. After injection, the first pump 23 operates, driving the coolant to circulate. As the coolant passes through the cooling pipe 24, it absorbs the heat dissipated during the mold cooling process. When the coolant enters the second storage tank 26, the second pump 216 operates, driving the circulating water to exchange heat with the coolant through the heat exchange pipe 217, reducing the coolant temperature and increasing the water temperature. The water temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 213. Once the water temperature reaches the recovery standard, the controller 214 controls the electric valve 212 to open, sending out hot water and refilling it through the water inlet pipe 210. This recovers and utilizes the residual heat from the mold production process, avoiding energy waste and preventing the water temperature from being too low due to insufficient heat absorption time during the production of small parts such as connector plugs, thus increasing the energy density of the hot water.
