It is the main molding equipment that uses plastic molding molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastics or thermosetting plastics. It is divided into vertical, horizontal and all-electric types. The injection molding machine can heat the plastic and apply high pressure to the molten plastic to make it eject and fill the mold cavity. The injection molding machine feeds the material through the corresponding feeding mechanism.

[0003] For example, in the utility model patent with announcement number CN214323994U, a feeding funnel for an injection molding machine is disclosed. The feeding funnel is installed on the injection molding machine body. The feeding funnel includes a conical main body, and the upper and lower ends of the main body are both provided with openings.
