[0029] During implementation, first, install some related components of the hot runner, including the hot nozzle 61, onto the hot runner plate 3. Then, install some components of the hot runner, including the cylinder, onto the panel 2. Guided by the four small guide pillars on the panel 2, the panel 2 and the hot runner plate 3 are assembled. Then, install the hot nozzle sleeve 62 onto the hot nozzle sleeve mother 63. Next, install the hot nozzle sleeve mother 63 onto the hot runner plate 3 with screws.

At this point, the inner anti-misalignment groove 632 and the outer anti-misalignment platform 622 cooperate to achieve misalignment prevention. Next, the hot nozzle sleeve female part 63 is installed onto the hot runner plate 3 with screws. During installation, the outer anti-misalignment groove 631 and the inner anti-misalignment platform 31 cooperate to achieve misalignment prevention. After fixing, the A plate 4 containing the front mold core 41 is installed. Then, the hot nozzle sleeve female part 63 and the hot runner plate 3 are fixed with screws. After fixing, the A plate 4 containing the front mold core 41 is installed. This ensures that the hot nozzle 61 is not damaged during assembly. After all mold components are assembled, the injection molding machine is installed, and all water circulation circuits are connected. After adjusting the injection molding machine parameters and producing qualified products, normal production can begin.
