An injection molding nozzle upon which a thermocouple element can be removably mounted and be self-retained in place. The nozzle has a front portion and a larger diameter rear collar portion with a thermocouple element duct therethrough. A thermocouple element bore extends rearwardly from the front end of the nozzle and a thermocouple element groove extends outwardly across the rear end from the thermocouple element duct. A front portion of a suitably bendable and retentive thermocouple element is inserted into the bore in the front end and bent to extend rearwardly to the duct through the rear collar portion. A rear portion of the thermocouple element is bent into place in the groove in the rear end. The thermocouple element securely retains itself in this position while the nozzle is being installed in the mold.

A hot runner injection molding machine which injects a melt into a cavity formed by a front mold and a movable rear mold. The injection molding machine includes a runner device fixed to a fixed head, gate devices which form orifices through which the melt is injected into the cavity, and heaters for heating the gate devices and detachably attached to the runner device. The gate devices and the heaters can be changed in accordance with the type of molds to be used, without removing or dismantling the runner device, and therefore, the same runner device can be commonly used for different types of molds.

A modular manifold system is described. A plurality of generally cylindrical manifold components engage a melt distribution element. The manifold components each have a generally cylindrical body which has an annular cavity formed therein which axially extends with the component body for a predetermined length which separates the component body from a component inner core. A melt runner passage extends axially through the inner core. A heating element in the form of a ceramic insulator sleeve occupies a portion of the annular cavity with a particulate refractory material occupying the remainder of the annular cavity.

A sprue bushing which eliminates melt leakage and a method of making the same are described. A cylindrical bushing body having a first, preselected uniform diameter has an annular cavity formed therein which axially extends within the bushing body for a predetermined length and which separates the bushing inner core from the bushing body. A heating element in the form of a ceramic insulator sleeve is inserted into the annular cavity and a particulate refractory material is deposited into the annular cavity to fill the remainder of the annular cavity. When filled, the bushing body is swaged down to a second preselected uniform diameter to compact the powdered refractory together with the preformed sleeve to form a solid heating element. A runner passage is then drilled through the inner core so that the inner core is integral with the bushing casing.

This invention relates to an improved injection molding nozzle and method of making it. The components are assembled and dipped in lacquer and powdered nickel prior to brazing in a vacuum furnace. This integrally brazes the components together, embeds an electrical heating element in a spiral channel, and provides the surfaces with a protective nickel coating. In one embodiment, the forward end has an integral high speed steel insert and the remote end of the heating element extends into the forward end of the nozzle. In addition to providing the protective coating, carrying out the method with a single vacuum brazing step considerably reduces manufacturing costs.

This invention relates to an improved injection molding nozzle and a method of making it. The nozzle has an electric heating element integrally vacuum cast in copper in spiral channels set in the outer surface of the tool steel nozzle body. The heating element has a cold terminal at one end which projects out through a hole in a head plate which is rotatable prior to casting to ensure the nozzle has a consistent length of heating element cast in. A sleeve is located over the spiral channel prior to casting to ensure the heating element in the channel is covered with a minimum depth of copper to dissipate the heat from the heating element. The spiral channel can be cut with a varying pitch according to a predetermined profile to provide more heat where there is more heat loss.

The invention relates to an injection mechanism for molding plastics, comprising at least one injection bushing, at least one lower needle valve, which is supplied by the injection bushing with molten plastics and opened by the pressure of the molten plastics during injection, further comprising heating means and cooling means adjacent to the flow path of the plastics, control means for maintaining the plastics at an adjusted temperature, further control means for injecting the molten plastics into at least one mold cavity via a corresponding injection aperture, and for the closing off the mold cavity after finishing the injection, wherein for improving this mechanism, especially for facilitating very small distances between injection openings, only one plunger within a heated distributor block is provided, which actuates several needle valves, situated at different locations within the distributor block, for supplying the molten plastics to the mold cavity via one single injection bushing, an injection nozzle and several lower injection openings.

A heater element is formed by disposing a pair of heater wires and a pair of thermocouple wires and a powdered mineral material in a metal sheath which is subjected to repeated drawing and annealing operations and is then cut to a desired length after which at one end, the heater wires are welded together and the thermocouple wires are welded to the sheath and the sheath is welded to form a closed end wall. At the opposite end, the heater and thermocouple wires are connected to suitable connection wires. The sheath is formed into a helical coil structure and installed in a runnerless bushing of a plastic molding machine.

A hot runner nozzle structure includes a tubular nozzle and at least one temperature measurement component. The tubular nozzle has an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface defining a flow channel. The tubular nozzle has portions defining at least one thru-hole interconnected the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface. The temperature measurement component has a base and a sensor connected to the base. The base is fixed in the thru-hole. The sensor has a tip protruding beyond the inner wall surface and exposed in the flow channel.
