Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection mold technology, specifically to an injection mold cooling component. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of injection molding, the cooling efficiency of the mold directly affects product quality, production cycle and energy consumption costs. During the injection process, after the molten plastic is injected into the mold, it needs to be cooled and solidified quickly and evenly to ensure the product's dimensional accuracy, surface finish and internal structure stability.

[0003] When using injection molds, most rely on cooling channels inside the mold to carry away heat through circulating coolant. However, cooling through these channels increases the mold volume, and the coolant faces greater flow resistance in closed channels, resulting in limited heat exchange efficiency. Especially when the mold temperature is too high, relying solely on internal channels is insufficient to quickly reduce the overall temperature, extending the molding cycle. Furthermore, internal channels are difficult and costly to manufacture, and if they become blocked or leak, the mold must be disassembled for repair, further impacting production progress. To address these issues, the inventor proposes an injection mold cooling component to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

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.

[0021] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling assembly for an injection mold, including a workbench 1, an upper mold 21 at the center of the upper part of the workbench 1, a lower mold 42 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the workbench 1, and the lower mold 42 and the upper mold 21 being at the same level. A mounting frame 44 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the lower mold 42 near the center, and a square nozzle frame 47 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 44. The square nozzle frame 47 is provided with multiple nozzles for spraying coolant onto the outer end of the lower mold 42. A liquid storage tank 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the front end of the workbench 1, and a delivery pipe 45 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the liquid storage tank 4 near the lower mold 42. The delivery pipe 45 is used to collect the used coolant into the storage tank 4. The top end of the delivery pipe 45 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 44. An L-shaped support shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the workbench 1 near the center of one side. A spherical nozzle 32 is fixedly connected to the other end of the L-shaped support shaft 3. The spherical nozzle 32 can be selected according to actual needs. The spherical nozzle 32 can be an upper and lower spray hole, used to spray release agent into the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 42 to improve the demolding effect. The electrical components in this application are electrically connected to their compatible power supply through wires. A suitable controller should be selected according to the actual situation to meet the control requirements. The detailed connection methods are known in the art.

[0022] An L-shaped plate 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the back end of the workbench 1. An electric cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped plate 11 near the center of one side, and the electric cylinder 23 and the lower mold 42 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 23 works, and with the help of two guide telescopic shafts, the mold closing and opening actions of the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 42 can be precisely controlled.

[0024] The output end of the electric cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 2 through the L-shaped plate 11, and the U-shaped plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper mold 21.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 23 can operate, which can cause the fixedly connected upper mold 21 to rise and fall.

[0026] An injection hole 22 is provided at the top of the upper mold 21 near the center.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, an injection hole 22 is provided at the top of the upper mold 21 to facilitate the injection of injection material into it.

[0028] The top of the L-shaped support shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 33, and the top of the mounting plate 33 is fixedly connected to the liquid storage box 34. A micro pump 35 is set at one end of the liquid storage box 34 near the bottom center. One end of the micro pump 35 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 36, and the other end of the connecting pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the ball nozzle 32.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, starting the micro pump 35 can stably deliver the release agent inside the liquid storage box 34 to the spherical nozzle 32. A receiving plate can be set below the connecting pipe 36 to facilitate the stable operation of the connecting pipe 36.

[0030] A motor 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 1 and near the center of one side. The output end of the motor 31 passes through the workbench 1 and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped support shaft 3.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, starting the motor 31 can cause the fixedly connected L-shaped support shaft 3 to rotate, so that the spherical nozzle 32 sprays the mold and then returns to the initial position, which facilitates the opening and closing of the mold.

[0032] An inclined plate 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 44.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, an inclined plate 46 is set, and the lowest end of the inclined plate 46 is located at the delivery pipe 45, which facilitates the collection of the cooled coolant.

[0034] A miniature pump 41 is installed near the bottom of the side of the liquid storage tank 4. One end of the miniature pump 41 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 43, and the other end of the connecting pipe 43 passes through the mounting frame 44 and is fixedly connected to the square nozzle bracket 47.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, a cooling plate is installed inside the liquid storage tank 4 to cool the circulating coolant, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of the coolant. When the micro pump 41 is started, the coolant can be delivered to the square nozzle frame 47. A receiving plate is installed below the connecting pipe 43 to facilitate the stable operation of the connecting pipe 43.

[0036] Working principle: Before using this device, release agent needs to be added to the liquid storage box 34 and coolant needs to be added to the liquid storage tank 4. Then, start the working motor 31, which will cause the fixedly connected L-shaped support shaft 3 to rotate. When the spherical nozzle 32 is located between the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 42, the micro pump 35 can be activated, so that the connecting pipe 36 cooperates with the spherical nozzle 32 to spray the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 42, which makes it easy to take out the molded product.

[0037] After the release agent is sprayed, the reverse motor 31 is turned on. Once the spherical nozzle 32 is reset, the electric cylinder 23 is turned on, causing the fixedly connected U-shaped plate 2 to descend. This causes the fixedly connected upper mold 21 to descend above the lower mold 42. The injection molding material is then injected into the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 42 through the injection hole 22. After the injection is completed, the micro pump 41 is turned on, so that the coolant inside the liquid storage tank 4 is transported to the square nozzle frame 47 through the connecting pipe 43 and sprayed onto the outside of the lower mold 42. This allows for cooling of the lower mold 42 body from multiple external directions, reducing temperature differences between different parts of the lower mold 42 and improving product quality. The sprayed coolant can be transported to the liquid storage tank 4 through the delivery pipe 45 (the liquid storage tank 4 is equipped with a cooling plate for cooling), thus achieving a recycling effect.

[0038] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
