The drying device 3 includes a drying cylinder 31, at least two groups of material guide components 32 arranged at intervals in the height direction, a drying component 33, and a material shifting component 34.

[0037] The upper barrel 2 is connected to the injection molding chamber of the injection molding body 1 and is funnel-shaped as a whole. An adjusting assembly 21 for adjusting the raw materials entering the injection molding chamber is installed in the upper barrel 2. The adjusting assembly 21 includes two symmetrically arranged adjusting plates 211 and an adjusting driving member 212 for driving the two adjusting plates 211 to rotate.

[0038] There is a blanking gap 213 between two adjusting plates 211. The adjusting plates 211 are rotatably installed on the feeding cylinder 2, and the rotation center of the adjusting plates 211 is located on the side where the two adjusting plates 211 are far away from each other. The adjusting driving member 212 is arranged on the outer side wall of the feeding cylinder 2 through a bracket, and its output shaft is connected to the rotation axis of the adjusting plates 211. When the adjusting driving member 212 is started, the two adjusting plates 211 rotate downward as a whole, so that the blanking gap 213 increases.

[0039] The drying cylinder 31 is arranged on the top of the feeding cylinder 2.

[0040] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the conveying member 322 includes a plurality of conveying rollers 3221 arranged at equal intervals along the inclined direction of the material guiding plate 321 and a conveyor belt 3222 sleeved on the conveying rollers 3221. The material guiding plate 321 has a conveying mounting groove 3211 for rotatably mounting a plurality of conveying rollers 3221. The outer side wall of the feeding cylinder 2 is welded or bolted with a mounting bracket. A material guiding driving member 323 connecting one of the conveying rollers 3221 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket. The material guiding driving member 323 is a rotating motor.

[0041] In this embodiment, three groups of material guiding assemblies 32 are arranged in the drying cylinder 31. The material guiding plates 321 of adjacent material guiding assemblies 32 are respectively fixed on the opposite side walls inside the drying cylinder, so that the raw materials are conveyed in a staggered manner in the drying cylinder 31, increasing the conveying time of the raw materials in the drying cylinder 31. The inclined bottom end of the material guiding plate 321 at a higher position corresponds to the middle part of the adjacent lower material guiding plate 321. Among them, the inclined bottom end of the material guiding plate 321 at the lowest position corresponds to the blanking gap 213 of the adjusting assembly 21. An inclined guiding plate 22 is fixed on the top of the feeding cylinder 2, and the extending direction of the inclined guiding plate 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the material guiding plate 321.

[0042] The drying assembly 33 includes a mounting frame 331 arranged on the drying cylinder 31 and a hot air blower 332 fixed on the mounting frame 331. The drying assembly 33 and the material guiding assembly 32 are in one-to-one correspondence, and each drying assembly 33 is arranged at the inclined top end of the material guiding plate 321 of the material guiding assembly 32. The mounting frame 331 is communicated with the drying cylinder 31, and the output port of the hot air blower 332 is also arranged in an inclined manner, and the inclined angle is the same as the inclined angle of the material guiding plate 321.

The material feeding assembly 34 is correspondingly arranged with the material guiding assembly 32, and each group of material feeding assemblies 34 is arranged at the inclined bottom end of the material guiding plate 321. Among them, the material feeding driving member 341, the conveying driving member, and the adjusting driving member 212 are all rotary motors in the prior art. The material feeding driving member 341 is fixed to the drying cylinder 31 through a bracket.

[0044] The material feeding rod 342 is located above the inclined bottom end of the material guiding plate 321, and the axial direction of the material feeding rod 342 is parallel to the width direction of the material guiding plate 321. The material feeding pieces 343 are arranged at intervals and staggered along the axial direction of the material feeding rod 342.

The material feeding piece 343 is integrally provided with limiting flanges 3432 on both opposite sides of the turning groove 3431, so as to increase the volume of the material feeding piece 343 for accommodating the raw material.

[0045] When the raw material moves to the bottom end of the material guiding plate 321 under the conveying of the conveyor belt 3222 and hot air, the material feeding piece 343 shovels the raw material into the turning groove 3431, and then continues to rotate, so that the raw material in the turning groove 3431 falls onto the material guiding plate 321 of the next material guiding assembly 32 under the action of its own gravity. During the turning process of the raw material, the contact area and contact time with the hot air are increased, and the drying effect of the raw material is improved.

[0048] A spiral blade 352 is rotatably installed in the preheating chamber 35. The axis of the bolt blade is arranged along the height direction and is located in the middle of the preheating chamber 35 as a whole. The driving member for driving the bolt blade to rotate is vertically installed outside the bottom of the preheating chamber 35.

[0049] The implementation principle of an automatic and rapid feeding injection molding machine in an embodiment of this application is as follows: Raw materials are poured into the top opening of the drying cylinder 31. The raw materials are first preliminarily heated in the preheating chamber 35. When the raw materials are pushed by the spiral blade 352 to the material discharge port 3511, the raw materials fall into the drying chamber;

[0050] The raw materials fall on the inclined top end of the material guiding plate 321, and then are conveyed along the material guiding plate 321 under the blowing of the conveying member 322 and hot air. When the raw materials move to the inclined bottom end of the material guiding plate 321, the deflector 343 flips the raw materials to a certain height and then drops them onto the next layer of the material guiding plate 321; The above conveying operation is repeated to fully dry the raw materials in the drying chamber; Finally, it enters the feeding cylinder 2, and the conveying amount entering the injection molding machine is adjusted by the adjusting assembly 21.

[0051] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. It does not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
