Abstract

An injection molding machine nozzle capable of suppressing stringiness caused by unsolidified resin in the case where a mold is released in a short time and reducing a cycle time, is provided. An injection molding machine nozzle (10) includes a nozzle hole to eject molten resin from a hot runner (12). The injection molding machine nozzle (10) includes a nozzle tip (16) made of a material having higher heat conductivity than that of the hot runner (12) and including a nozzle hole (16B) communicating with a most downstream side of a resin flow path of the hot runner (12). The nozzle tip (16) is joined to the hot runner (12) through a heat insulation member (14).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An injection molding machine nozzle comprising a nozzle tip, a hot runner, and a heat insulation member, wherein
the nozzle tip includes a nozzle hole communicating with a most downstream side of a resin flow path of the hot runner and ejects molten resin from the hot runner,
the nozzle tip is made of a material having higher heat conductivity than heat conductivity of the hot runner,
the nozzle tip is joined to the hot runner through the heat insulation member,
among the hot runner and the nozzle tip, only the hot runner is provided with a heater,
a counterbored hole communicating with the resin flow path is defined on a downstream side end of the hot runner,
the nozzle tip includes a cylinder part having the nozzle hole, and a flange part joined to a bottom surface of the cylinder part and having an opening communicating with the nozzle hole,
the heat insulation member is composed of a cylindrical body including an outer wall in contact with the counterbored hole of the hot runner and a through-hole in contact with an outer periphery of the cylinder part of the nozzle tip,
a first gap is provided between the flange part of the nozzle tip and the downstream side end of the hot runner, and
a second gap capable of being filled with the molten resin is provided between a distal end of the cylinder part of the nozzle tip and an innermost part inside the counterbored hole of the hot runner.

2. The injection molding machine nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein a downstream side end of the resin flow path inside the hot runner is in a tapered shape tapered toward a part communicating with the nozzle hole.

3. The injection molding machine nozzle according to claim 1 , including a piece member, on an upstream side of the nozzle hole, comprising an opening where molten resin from the hot runner is distributed, a shield part which shields the molten resin, and a projection part projected from the shield part toward a downstream side of the nozzle hole.

4. The injection molding machine nozzle according to claim 3 , wherein the shield part of the piece member is in a three-dimensional shape that a width is widened from the resin flow path of the hot runner toward the nozzle hole of the nozzle tip.
