DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution of a plastic granule feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine: comprising a mixing box 1, the top of which is designed with an opening to facilitate the input of plastic granules. A material distribution net 11 is installed on the top of the mixing box 1, and its bent design allows the input plastic granules to be evenly dispersed to avoid the accumulation of granules in a certain area, thereby ensuring the uniform distribution of the plastic granules in the mixing box 1.

[0021] The motor 21 is fixed on the outer wall of the feeding barrel 13 and serves as the power source of the entire feeding mechanism. After the motor 21 is started, it drives the feeding shaft 22 to rotate. The feeding shaft 22 passes through the barrel wall of the feeding barrel 13 and extends inward, and the spiral blades 24 thereon rotate with the rotation of the feeding shaft 22. The rotation of the spiral blades 24 pushes the plastic particles from the bottom of the mixing box 1 into the feeding barrel 13, and pushes forward along the length direction of the feeding barrel 13, and finally discharges through the discharge channel 14, providing a continuous supply of plastic particles for the injection molding machine.

[0022] Among them, inside the mixing box 1, the mixing shaft 25 is connected to the feeding shaft 22 by a synchronous belt 27. When the feeding shaft 22 rotates, the mixing shaft 25 will also rotate synchronously through the transmission of the synchronous belt 27. A plurality of shaft sleeves 28 are installed on the mixing shaft 25, and each shaft sleeve 28 is installed with a turning rod 29 and a mixing blade 30. These turning rods 29 and mixing blades 30 rotate with the rotation of the mixing shaft 25, turning and mixing the plastic particles in the mixing box 1, ensuring the uniformity of the particles and preventing the particles from agglomerating or clogging.

[0023] Among them, multiple sets of shaft sleeves 28, turning rods 29 and mixing blades 30 are distributed in a staggered manner, which can further improve the mixing effect of plastic particles and avoid particles from forming dead corners in the mixing box 1. Each turning rod 29 is equipped with a mixing blade 30, which can further increase the stirring and mixing effect on the plastic particles and improve the mixing uniformity.

[0024] In order to further improve the fluidity of the plastic particles, a preheating component is also provided in the mixing box 1. The preheating component includes a preheating base 41 and a plurality of heating components 42. The preheating base 41 is installed in the mixing box 1, and the heating components 42 are evenly distributed on the preheating base 41. When the heating components 42 are working, they release heat into the mixing box 1 to preheat the plastic particles. The plastic particles after preheating have better fluidity and are easier to be pushed into the injection molding machine by the feeding mechanism, thereby improving the injection molding production efficiency.

[0025] The ends of the mixing shaft 25 and the feeding shaft 22 are both provided with bearing seats 31 to ensure stable rotation of the shafts. The design of the bearing seats 31 can reduce friction and wear of the shafts and increase the service life of the feeding mechanism.

[0026] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when in use, first, the operator puts the plastic particles to be injected into the top of the mixing box 1, and the particles are evenly dispersed into the mixing box 1 through the bending design of the material distribution net 11. At this time, the heating component 42 in the preheating component starts to work, releasing heat to preheat the plastic particles and improve the fluidity of the particles.

[0027] Then, the motor 21 is started, and the motor 21 drives the feeding shaft 22 to rotate. The spiral blades 24 on the feeding shaft 22 rotate and push the plastic particles at the bottom of the mixing box 1 into the feeding tube 13. At the same time, the mixing shaft 25 also rotates synchronously through the transmission of the synchronous belt 27. The shaft sleeve 28, the turning rod 29 and the mixing blades 30 on the mixing shaft 25 work together to turn and mix the plastic particles in the mixing box 1 to ensure the uniformity of the particles.

[0028] In the feeding barrel 13, the plastic particles pushed forward by the spiral blade 24 are continuously discharged through the discharge channel 14 and supplied to the injection molding machine for injection molding operation. Because the plastic particles are preheated, they have better fluidity and are easier to be pushed and injected, thereby improving the injection molding production efficiency.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
