[0024] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 9, this application provides a three-cavity mold flow channel structure, including a male mold 1 and a female mold 1'. The male mold 1 and the female mold 1' are provided with a male mold core 11 and a female mold core 11'. The male mold core 11 and the female mold core 11' are provided with a first cavity 111, a second cavity 112, and a third cavity 113, which are configured to form the same product. The first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113 are respectively configured to form the same product, and the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113 are on the same plane, that is, the parting surfaces of the three cavities are on the same plane. The first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 are arranged linearly in sequence. The placement direction of the third cavity 113 is perpendicular to the placement direction of the first cavity 111 or the second cavity 112. The two ends of the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113 are provided with core-pulling mechanisms 12.

[0025] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the male mold 1 is provided with a flow divider 13. The flow divider 13 is configured to separate the main flow channel 15 and form a first flow divider channel 151 and a second flow divider channel 152. The second flow divider channel 152 extends towards the parting surface, and the part extending on the parting surface continues to extend along the periphery of the flow divider 13 towards the third cavity 113. The flow divider 13 is located between the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112 and the third cavity 113. This design greatly reduces the selection of mold size and ensures that the mold frame size of a three-cavity mold can be adapted to a 125T cold chamber machine. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the first sub-flow channel 151 and the second sub-flow channel 152 are respectively provided with a third ejector pin 153. The connection between the third ejector pin 153 and the first sub-flow channel 151 and the second sub-flow channel 152 is provided with a third ejector pin cold slug well 154. The sub-flow channel 13 and the male mold core 11 are detachably connected. This application changes the product arrangement and, in conjunction with the sub-flow channel 13 dividing the main flow channel 15, moves the cavities that would interfere with the flow channel in the relevant design, so that the two do not interfere with each other. At the same time, by designing the sub-flow channel 13 to divide the main flow channel 15, the product molding requirements are met, and the yield is maximized.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 5, the male mold 1 is provided with a molding flow channel 14, which connects the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113 respectively. The injection ports of the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113 are in the same position relative to the product. The molding flow channel 14 includes a first flow channel 141 and a second flow channel 142. The first flow channel 141 connects the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112, and the second flow channel 142 connects the third cavity 113.

[0027] As shown in Figures 5, 7, and 8, the first flow channel 141 includes a main flow section 1411. The starting end of the main flow section 1411 is connected to the first branch flow channel 151. The ending ends of the main flow section 1411 are respectively connected to the starting ends of the first branch flow section 1412 and the second branch flow section 1413. A first inlet 143 is provided at the end of both the first inlet 143 and the end of the main flow section 1411. A first ejector pin 144 is provided at the connection between the first ejector pin 144 and the first inlet 143, and at the end of the main flow section 1411. A first ejector pin cold slug well 145 is provided at both the middle and end of the first branch flow section 1412 and the second branch flow section 1413. A first cold slug well 146 is provided at both the middle and end of the first branch flow section 1412 and the second branch flow section 1413. The second flow channel 142 has a second inlet 147 at its end, a second ejector pin 148 at its second inlet 147, and a second ejector pin cold slug well 149 at the connection between the second ejector pin 148 and the second inlet 147. The second branch flow channel 152 has a second cold slug well 1410 at its end.

[0028] The mold with this structure is installed in a 125T cold chamber machine and formed by the cold chamber machine. The injection speed at the gate is 30-40m / s and the melting temperature is 660℃.

[0029] During use, the molding material flows in from the gate, is divided by the flow divider 13, and enters the first flow divider channel 151 and the second flow divider channel 152 respectively. When flowing through the beginning of the first flow divider channel 151 and the middle of the second flow divider channel 152, the third ejector cold slug well 154 collects the molten material before it enters the first cavity 111, the second cavity 112, and the third cavity 113. When flowing into the first flow channel 141, the molding material first enters the first ejector cold slug well 145 on the main flow section 1411, where it collects the cold material before it is about to be divided. Then the molding material enters the first flow divider section 1412 and the second flow divider channel 152. In the flow divider section 1413, the first cold slug well 146 at its middle section collects the cold slug in the middle, and the first cold slug well 146 at the end of the first flow divider section 1412 and the second flow divider section 1413 collects the cold slug at the end. The first ejector cold slug well 145 at the first inlet 143 collects the cold slug at the first inlet 143. When flowing into the second flow channel 142, the molding material will flow through the second flow channel 142 and the second cold slug well 1410 at the end of the second flow divider sub-flow channel 152, and then flow into the second ejector cold slug well 149 at the second inlet 147. The design of the ejector cold slug well facilitates the ejection of waste material. This design can balance the cold slug area in the entire flow channel.

[0030] This pouring method effectively improves the yield.

[0031] The formula for calculating the yield is: Total product weight / (Total product weight + weight of waste material in the flow channel and slag bag).

[0032] Calculations show that the yield of a three-cavity mold is greater than or equal to 6%-8% compared to a two-cavity mold.

[0033] This application improves the product yield by changing the product arrangement and flow channel design, while also facilitating product production and processing. It avoids the situation where the flow channel is too long due to the need to avoid the core-pulling structure in conventional designs. In addition, the multiple core-pulling mechanisms 12 in this application are all set independently, and there is no interference between the multiple components.
