A feeding bucket 2 for discharging materials is installed on the top of the fixed ring 24 by welding. A feeding component for melting and transporting the injection molding raw materials to the injection mold is arranged in the support frame 1. It also includes a mounting frame 7, a guide frame 701, a support plate 8, a servo motor 9, a sprocket 10, a chain 11 and a loading bucket 12. A mounting frame 7 is installed on one side of the lower part of the support frame 1 by welding. A guide frame 701 is installed on the mounting frame 7 by bolt connection. A loading bucket 12 for feeding and replenishing materials is slidably arranged on the guide frame 701.

A support plate 8 is installed on the mounting frame 7 by bolt connection. Sprockets 10 are rotatably arranged on both the support plate 8 and the guide frame 701. A chain 11 for transmission is wound around the two sprockets 10. The chain 11 is fixedly connected to the loading bucket 12 by riveting. A servo motor 9 is installed on the support plate 8 by bolt connection. The output shaft of the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the sprocket 10 by a key.
[0031] Referring to Figure 2As shown in the figure, the feeding assembly includes an injection molding channel 3 installed in the support frame 1 by means of bolt connection. The material discharging barrel 2 is facing the opening of the injection molding channel 3. A screw conveyor rod 5 is rotatably arranged in the injection molding channel 3. A support shell 4 is installed on the side of the support frame 1 by means of bolt connection. A first motor 401 is installed in the support shell 4 by means of bolt connection. The output shaft of the first motor 401 is fixedly connected to the screw conveyor rod 5 through a coupling. A plurality of heaters 501 for heating and melting plastic raw materials are installed on the injection molding channel 3 by means of bolt connection.
[0032] When injection molding is required, start the first motor 401 to drive the screw conveyor rod 5 to rotate, so that the screw conveyor rod 5 conveys the raw materials dropped from the material discharging barrel 2 into the injection molding channel 3. Start the heater 501 to heat the injection molding raw materials to form a hot melt adhesive state, and push them into the injection mold through the screw conveyor rod 5 for injection molding. When replenishing materials in the material discharging barrel 2, first pour the raw materials into the loading barrel 12, then start the servo motor 9 to drive the sprocket 10 to rotate on the support plate 8, drive the sprocket 10 on the guide frame 701 to rotate synchronously through the chain 11, drive the loading barrel 12 to slide upward along the guide frame 701 through the chain 11, and turn over the loading barrel 12 at the top of the guide frame 701, so that the raw materials in the loading barrel 12 are poured into the material discharging barrel 2 to replenish the material discharging barrel 2. Then drive the sprocket 10 to rotate in the reverse direction through the servo motor 9, so that the chain 11 drives the material discharging barrel 2 to slide downward along the guide frame 701 to reset.
[0033] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it further includes a fixing frame 13 installed on the top of the support frame 1 by means of bolt connection. An installation shell 15 is installed on the fixing frame 13 by means of bolt connection. The installation shell 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the material discharging barrel 2 by welding. A preheating pipe 16 for preheating the injection molding raw materials is wound around the material discharging barrel 2.

The preheating pipe 16 penetrates the installation shell 15 and is electrically connected to the controller 14.
[0034] To make the injection molding raw materials heat and melt faster when entering the injection molding channel 3, after pouring the injection molding raw materials into the material discharging barrel 2, start the controller 14 to control the preheating pipe 16 to heat. The preheating pipe 16 transfers the heat to the side wall of the material discharging barrel 2 to preheat the injection molding raw materials in the material discharging barrel 2. The installation shell 15 can avoid the heat loss of the preheating pipe 16 and protect the preheating pipe 16 at the same time.
[0035] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, it further includes a fixed shell 17 installed at the upper part inside the discharging barrel 2 by means of bolt connection. A second motor 18 is installed on the fixed shell 17 by means of bolt connection. A scraping rack 19 for scraping the sticky injection molding raw materials is rotatably arranged inside the discharging barrel 2. The output shaft of the second motor 18 faces downward and is fixedly connected to the scraping rack 19. The upper part of the scraping rack 19 is in the shape of a cylindrical rack, and the lower part is in the shape of an inverted frustum rack, so that the scraping rack 19 fits the inner wall of the discharging barrel 2 to scrape off all the sticky raw materials. Three staggered cross bars are arranged in the middle of the scraping rack 19 to facilitate stirring the raw materials, fully preheat the raw materials, and avoid the phenomenon of raw material bridging during feeding.
[0036] When the injection molding raw materials in the discharging barrel 2 are being preheated, some raw materials may melt. To prevent the raw materials from sticking to the inner wall of the discharging barrel 2 and unable to be discharged, the second motor 18 is started to drive the scraping rack 19 to rotate inside the discharging barrel 2, so that the scraping rack 19 scrapes off the injection molding raw materials sticking to the inner wall of the discharging barrel 2, and the raw materials smoothly fall into the injection molding channel 3.
[0037] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, it further includes three limit rods 23 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1 by means of welding.

A connecting plate 27 is hingedly connected between each baffle 25 and the missing gear 22. A spur gear 21 is rotatably arranged on the support frame 1. The spur gear 21 meshes with the missing gear 22. A stepping motor 20 is installed on the top of the support frame 1 by means of bolt connection. The output shaft of the stepping motor 20 faces downward and is fixedly connected to the spur gear 21 by means of key connection.
[0038] When it is necessary to control the feeding efficiency of the raw materials in the discharging barrel 2, the stepping motor 20 is started to drive the spur gear 21 to rotate forward and backward. At this time, the spur gear 21 drives the missing gear 22 to mesh and rotate. The limit rod 23 can prevent the missing gear 22 from rotating excessively. The missing gear 22 pulls the baffle 25 to rotate along the fixing rod 26 through the connecting plate 27, so that each baffle 25 is unfolded or closed to control the feeding efficiency and opening and closing of the discharging barrel 2 to the injection molding channel 3.
[0039] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a baffle 6 is installed at the top edge of the discharging barrel 2 by means of bolt connection; a protective shell 28 is installed on the top of the support frame 1 by means of bolt connection. The protective shell 28 covers the stepping motor 20, the spur gear 21 and the missing gear 22 together.
[0040] The baffle plate 6 can prevent the injection molding raw materials from spilling out due to too fast feeding when the charging bucket 12 pours materials into the discharging bucket 2, and make the injection molding raw materials fall into the discharging bucket 2; the protective shell 28 can protect the stepping motor 20, and at the same time can prevent accidental falling between the spur gear 21 and the missing gear 22 and jamming them.
