A hot runner mold includes a hot runner mold body portion that is fixed to a fixing plate and supplies a molten resin received from a resin inlet to an injection mold, a nozzle receiving portion that is disposed to be inclined with respect to a position orthogonal to the resin inlet of the hot runner mold body portion and is coaxially connected to a nozzle of an injection device that supplies the molten resin, a relay portion that has a resin flow path having a bent portion therein and guides the molten resin from the nozzle receiving portion to the resin inlet, and a regulating portion that is fixed to the fixing plate and regulates movement of the nozzle receiving portion or the relay portion with respect to the hot runner mold body portion.

The invention relates to nozzle tips including a nozzle body and a tip portion, configured to minimize the accumulation of a resin on the nozzle tip as it is dispensed through the nozzle tip. The nozzle tip can contain a central flow channel and an internal portion that branches and guides the resin into multiple exiting flow channels that define tangential pathways to the outer surface of the nozzle tip. The nozzle tip can include grooves that define extended, sharply angled flow paths for the resin. Nozzle tips can have a neck portion separating a nozzle body and a tip end of the nozzle tip; here, a doughnut-shaped space located around the neck portion can be defined by the base of the nozzle, the crown of the nozzle, and the neck portion, for encouraging turbulent flow of the resin to scour the nozzle tip during dispensing.

A hot runner system having a nozzle received in a well in a mold plate. The nozzle has a melt channel, a nozzle body through which the melt channel extends, and a collar connected to and spaced apart from the nozzle body. A manifold is seated against the nozzle. The manifold has a melt channel in fluid communication between a source of moldable material and the nozzle channel. A bearing member against which a seating surface of the collar is supported is received in the well, and a biasing member is seated between a step in the well and the bearing member. The biasing member has plate loading surface and a nozzle loading surface. The nozzle loading surface and the plate loading surface are concentric with the seating surface of the collar and are circumferentially offset from the seating surface of the collar in opposite directions.

A hot runner system includes a manifold having a heater and a manifold channel network extending between a manifold inlet and a plurality of manifold outlets for distributing a molten plastic. A nozzle seated against the manifold and received in a respective manifold outlet has an extension portion received in the respective manifold outlet, a body portion projecting downstream from the extension portion, and a nozzle channel extending through the extension portion and the body portion. The hot runner system further includes a nozzle support seated against the nozzle, the nozzle support including an upstream nozzle support and a downstream nozzle support, the downstream nozzle support is discrete from and in slidable contact with the upstream nozzle support, and the downstream nozzle support having a looser fit with the body portion of the nozzle than that of the upstream nozzle support’s fit with the body portion of the nozzle.

The present disclosure is directed to an injection nozzle with a nozzle head including at least one discharge opening for injecting molding material into a mold cavity of a thereto interconnected injection mold and forming therein a molded body. At least one positively controlled closure element movably supported in the nozzle head for closing a communication opening in the connected injection mold. An actuator cylinder comprises a first piston which is interconnected to the closure element. The first piston is arranged movable between a first position, in which the closure element is fully closed, and a second position in which the closure element is fully open. A second piston is interconnected to the closure element, and is arranged movable between a third position in which the second piston is not interconnected to the closure element and a fourth position in which the closure element is limited in an intermediate position.
