Abstract

A hot runner nozzle includes a nozzle body configured to define a flow path of molten resin, and a cover member arranged at a circumference of a tip portion of the nozzle body. The cover member includes a first engagement portion being arranged on a part of an outer periphery and configured to engage with a mold and/or a second engagement portion being arranged on a part of an inner periphery and configured to engage with the nozzle body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hot runner nozzle comprising:
a nozzle body configured to define a flow path of molten resin; and
a cover member arranged at a circumference of a tip portion of the nozzle body,
the cover member comprising a first engagement portion being arranged on a part of an outer periphery and configured to engage with a mold and/or a second engagement portion being arranged on a part of an inner periphery and configured to engage with the nozzle body,
wherein the first engagement portion is an opening or a protrusion and the second engagement portion is an opening or a protrusion.

2. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the cover member comprises an annular portion, and
an inner periphery of the annular portion is configured to abut against the nozzle body along an outer periphery of the nozzle body, and an outer periphery of the annular portion is configured to abut against the mold.

3. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 2 , wherein the annular portion is configured to suppress leakage of molten resin that has been injected from the nozzle body but has not been injected into a cavity formed by the mold through a gap formed between the nozzle body and the mold.

4. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a heater; and
an outer layer portion that is formed of a material having a higher heat conductivity than the nozzle body, the outer layer portion being configured integrally with the nozzle body and arranged between the nozzle body and the heater.

5. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 4 , wherein the outer layer portion is configured to surround an outer periphery of the nozzle body annularly.

6. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 4 , wherein the outer layer portion is provided at a part of an outer periphery of the nozzle body.

7. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 4 , wherein a main component of the nozzle body is stainless steel, and a main component of the outer layer portion is any one of nickel, copper, and copper alloy.

8. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the hot runner nozzle comprises the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion being arranged such that they are not mutually overlapped when viewed in an axial direction of the nozzle body.

9. The hot runner nozzle according to claim 8 , wherein the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are arranged at mutually shifted positions within a range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees when viewed in the axial direction of the nozzle body.

10. An injection molding apparatus comprising:
the hot runner nozzle according to claim 1 ; and
a supply portion configured to supply molten resin to the nozzle body.

11. A manufacturing method of a resin molded product, comprising injecting molten resin into a cavity formed by the mold using the hot runner nozzle according to claim 1 .
