[0002] The raw materials used for injection molding are plastic particles of various materials. In order to improve product performance during the injection molding process, it is usually necessary to mix plastic particles of various materials or colors, and then use an injection molding machine to perform injection molding. However, the existing mixing method is to pour the particles into a mixer for mixing. The mixer stirs the plastic particles evenly through the internal screw. The entire mixing process takes a long time and the mixing uniformity is poor. In addition, during the long-term stirring of the plastic particles by the screw, the friction between the screw and the plastic particles will generate heat and temperature rise.

[0020] The spoiler 3 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 6 through the annular frame, and the spoiler 3 is inclined corresponding to the outer edge of the mixing cover 2; the plastic particles fall from the gap between the barrel body 1 and the mixing cover 2 after being thrown by the mixing cover 2, and the fallen plastic particles are spirally mixed in the lower layer of the barrel body 1 under the drive of the rotating spoiler 3 until they fall to the bottom of the barrel body 1;
