It integrates the cross-disciplinary knowledge of plastic molding technology, polymer chemistry, powder metallurgy technology and metal materials science. It uses metal powder or a mixture of metal powder and non-metallic powder as raw materials. The organic binder is injected into the mold cavity by the injection molding machine under the heated plastic state to solidify the molded blank, and the product shape is formed by the mold. High-density, high-precision, three-dimensional complex-shaped structural parts are quickly manufactured through sintering.

[0016] A powder metallurgy injection molding method, the injection molding method comprising the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: The driving mechanism drives the mixing mechanism, the injection mechanism, the mounting seat, and the mold assembly to operate synchronously, and the powder is put into the mixing tank. The powder is screened by the running screening assembly and then falls into the bottom of the mixing tank. The raw materials in the mixing tank are heated and melted by the first heater, and the raw materials are mixed by the rotating stirring paddle. The mixed molten raw materials enter the mixing box, and are stirred, mixed, and exhausted by the rotating stirring rod.
[0018] Step 2: When the molten raw materials are stirred and mixed, the negative pressure pump extracts the vacuum inside the mixing box through the negative pressure pipe, and transports the sucked air to the high-pressure gas tank for storage, so as to remove bubbles from the molten raw materials. After the removal of bubbles, the molten raw materials are injected under the push of the rotating screw, and the raw materials inside the injection tube are further heated by the running second heater to ensure the fluidity of the molten raw materials;
[0019] Step 3: When the raw material is pushed to the discharge port of the injection tube for injection, the movable mold and the fixed mold are docked and closed to form a mold cavity. At this time, the rotating valve disc drives the material hole to dock with the fixed mold and the discharge port of the injection tube, and the raw material inside the injection tube is injected into the mold cavity through the material hole. When the raw material injection is completed, the controller controls the speed regulating motor to stop running;
[0020] Step 4: The raw material is cooled in the mold cavity to form a product. When the product is demolded, the solenoid valve is opened, and the high-pressure gas stored in the high-pressure gas tank is transported to the solenoid valve through the high-pressure pipe. The solenoid valve transports the high-pressure gas to the mold cavity through the demolding air hole to strip the gas from the product in the mold cavity. When the movable mold is separated from the fixed mold, the product is automatically demolded.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] The present invention drives the mixing mechanism, the injection mechanism, the mounting seat, and the mold assembly to operate synchronously through a driving mechanism, so as to realize the screening, mixing, material equalization, injection, closed space, mold closing, and mold opening of raw materials, thereby reducing the energy consumption generated by the operation of the device. The powder can be screened by the screening assembly to make the powder more uniform, which is helpful to reduce the bubble retention phenomenon caused by the particle size difference during the degassing process. When the powder with uniform particle size is stirred, the bubbles are more easily discharged, and the fluidity of the metal powder can be improved, so that the powder is more evenly distributed in the degassing container, thereby accelerating the rise and discharge of bubbles. The powder with uniform particle size can be more densely stacked together during pressing, thereby reducing the generation of pores and bubbles.
[0023] The raw materials in the mixing tank are mixed by a stirring paddle and the raw materials inside the mixing box are mixed by a stirring rod to ensure uniform mixing and avoid the generation of local bubbles. The mixed raw materials are vacuum degassed in cooperation with the degassing mechanism, and the gas in the mixture is extracted by a vacuum pump to effectively reduce the generation of bubbles and eliminate residual bubbles. The degassed powder can form a denser and more uniform product structure in subsequent processing, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the product. The gas generated by vacuum extraction is used to perform gas stripping and demoulding of the product in the mold assembly, which ensures the integrity of the product during demoulding, facilitates subsequent product unloading, and improves the injection molding efficiency of the product.

A driving mechanism 6 is installed on the other side of the mixing box 203 through a protective cover. The driving mechanism 6 is respectively connected to the mixing mechanism 2, the injection mechanism 3, the mounting seat 5, and the mold assembly 7.
[0045] It should be noted that: a track door is installed on the front of the installation box 4 through the slide rail groove. Closing the track door can make the interior of the installation box 4 form a closed whole, protect the internal mold assembly 7 from external damage, and ensure the safety of injection when injecting raw materials into the mold assembly 7, avoid scalding accidents caused by overflow of excess raw materials, and improve the safety effect of the device;
[0046] A protective cover is fixedly installed on one side of the interior of the mixing box 203. The protective cover is sleeved on the outer sides of the driven bevel gear 205 and the bevel gear rod 603 to protect the driven bevel gear 205 driven by the bevel gear rod 603, so as to prevent the molten raw materials from sticking to the surfaces of the driven bevel gear 205 and the bevel gear rod 603 and causing transmission jamming, thereby ensuring the transmission stability of the driven bevel gear 205 and the bevel gear rod 603.
[0047] The stirring paddle 206 is composed of a stirring support and a stirring scraper, and the stirring support is attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 201. The stirring scraper rotates under the driving of the rotating stirring support, and the rotating stirring scraper rotates on its own.

The abutment rods 2073 vertically vibrate the screening disk 2072 through the inclined wedges 2074, so as to realize vertical vibration screening of the powder on the top of the screening disk 2072.
[0050] It should be noted that: the rotating disk 2071 rotates and moves inside the mixing tank 201 through the slip ring, and the screening disk 2072 cooperates with the slide rail on the inner wall of the mixing tank 201 through the slide groove to vibrate vertically. Under the rotation of the rotating disk 2071, the inclined wedge block 2074 and the resistance rod 2073 are intermittently connected to each other, and the screening disk 2072 is lifted up when the inclined wedge block 2074 and the resistance rod 2073 are in resistance contact, and the screening disk 2072 falls when the inclined wedge block 2074 and the resistance rod 2073 are separated, thereby causing the screening disk 2072 to vibrate vertically.

When the material passage hole 502 is separated from the discharge port of the injection tube 301, the movable mold 705 moves away from the fixed mold 706. The single movement stroke of the movable mold 705 is half of the stroke of the material passage hole 502 rotating to dock with the discharge port of the injection tube 301. Therefore, when the movable mold 705 and the fixed mold 706 are docked again, the material passage hole 502 is docked with the discharge port of the injection tube 301.

The movable seat 702 that moves in the opposite direction drives the movable mold 705 to move in the opposite direction away from the fixed mold 706, so as to facilitate demolding of the product. An exhaust channel is provided on the top of the movable mold 705 so that the gas generated during the product molding process can be discharged in time.

The protective box 102 can protect the speed regulating motor 601 and the negative pressure pump 802 to prevent the speed regulating motor 601 and the negative pressure pump 802 from being damaged by external forces, rain and dust, thereby ensuring the safety of the speed regulating motor 601 and the negative pressure pump 802.
[0063] A powder metallurgy injection molding method, the injection molding method comprising the following steps:
[0064] Step 1: Open the lid of the mixing tank 201, put powder and binder into the mixing tank 201, and the powder and binder fall on the top of the screening disk 2072. The controller 101 controls the speed regulating motor 601 to be powered on. The speed regulating motor 601 is powered on to drive the bevel gear rod 603 and the linkage rod 604 to rotate synchronously through the first pulley group 602. The rotating bevel gear rod 603 drives the transmission rod 204 and the stirring rod 208 to rotate synchronously through the driven bevel gear 205 connected by meshing. At the same time, the rotating bevel gear rod 603 drives the screw 303 to rotate, and the rotating transmission rod 204 drives the stirring paddle 206 and the rotating disk 2 071 rotates, and the rotating rotating disk 2071 is intermittently connected to the abutment rod 2073 through the equally spaced inclined wedge blocks 2074. When the abutment rod 2073 intermittently passes through the inclined wedge blocks 2074, the screening disk 2072 is driven to vibrate vertically, so that the powder on the top of the screening disk 2072 is vibrated and screened, and the screened powder falls into the bottom of the mixing tank 201, and the raw materials in the mixing tank 201 are heated and melted by the first heater 202, and the raw materials are mixed by the rotating stirring paddle 206. The molten raw materials after mixing enter the interior of the mixing box 203, and are stirred, mixed and exhausted by the rotating stirring rod 208;
[0065] Step 2: When the molten raw materials are stirred and mixed, the controller 101 controls the negative pressure pump 802 to be powered on and run. The powered negative pressure pump 802 extracts the vacuum inside the mixing box 203 through the negative pressure pipe, and transports the sucked air to the high-pressure gas tank 801 for storage, so that the raw materials are vacuum-exhausted inside the mixing box 203 to avoid residual bubbles in the raw materials. After the bubble removal treatment, the rotating screw 303 pushes the raw materials to the discharge port of the injection tube 301 for subsequent injection. At the same time, the raw materials inside the injection tube 301 are further heated by the running second heater 302 to ensure the fluidity of the molten raw materials.
[0066] Step three: when the raw material is pushed to the discharge port of the injection tube 301 for injection, the rotating linkage rod 604 drives the valve disc 501 through the second pulley set 605 and drives the reciprocating screw rod 704 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod, and the rotating reciprocating screw rod 704 drives the movable seat 702 to move outside the slide rod 701 through the wire set 703, and the movable movable seat 702 drives the movable mold 705 to move to the fixed mold 706 to dock and close to form a mold cavity, at this time, the rotating valve disc 501 drives the through hole 502 to dock with the fixed mold 706 and the discharge port of the injection tube 301, and the raw material inside the injection tube 301 is injected into the mold cavity through the through hole 502, and when the injection is completed, the rotating valve disc 501 drives the through hole 502 to continue to rotate away from the injection tube 301, so as to block the raw material at the discharge port of the injection tube 301, so that a closed space is formed inside the injection tube 301 and inside the mixing box 203, which is convenient for vacuuming;
[0067] Step 4: The raw material is cooled in the mold cavity to form a product. When the product is demolded, the controller 101 controls the solenoid valve 804 to open, so that the demolding hole 707 and the high-pressure pipe 803 form a passage. The high-pressure pipe 803 transports the high-pressure air inside the high-pressure gas tank 801 to the mold cavity to gas-peel off the product in the mold cavity. The controller 101 then controls the speed regulating motor 601 to energize and operate, so that the reciprocating screw rod 704 continues to rotate through the wire set 703 to drive the moving seat 702 to move in the opposite direction. The moving seat 702 that moves in the opposite direction drives the moving mold 705 away from the fixed mold 706 to realize automatic demolding of the product. After demolding is completed, the above steps are repeated to inject the next product, which is convenient for continuous injection molding processing of the device.
