[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , this invention provides a technical solution for a novel feeding mechanism of an injection molding machine: It includes a bottom plate 1. At the top of the bottom plate 1, a drying outer shell 8 is installed. The drying outer shell 8 is installed at an inclined angle. At the top of the drying outer shell 8, a motor 11 is installed. Inside the drying outer shell 8, a rotating bracket 10 is rotatably connected. The rotating bracket 10 is fixedly connected to two drying filter cylinders 9. The output shaft of the motor 11 is in transmission connection with the rotating bracket 10. At the top of the drying outer shell 8, a hopper 13 is installed. At the connection between the hopper 13 and the drying outer shell 8, a switching valve 12 is installed. At the bottom of the drying outer shell 8, a feeding pipe 5 is installed. At the top of the bottom plate 1, a bracket 3 is installed. The top of the bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the drying outer shell 8.

[0024] On one side of the top end of the bottom plate 1, a blower 2 is installed. At the air outlet end of the blower 2, a heating pipe 4 is installed. The air outlet end of the heating pipe 4 is communicated with the drying outer shell 8 through an air inlet pipe 6. The blower 2 and the heating pipe 4 are turned on, so as to blow high-temperature air into the drying outer shell 8.

[0025] The discharge end of the switching valve 12 is communicated with the feed end of the drying filter cartridge 9. The discharge end of the drying filter cartridge 9 is communicated with the feed pipe 5. The switching valve 12 is used to control the conveyance of the materials in the hopper 13 into the drying filter cartridge 9. The switching valve 12 comprises a valve plate and a cylinder.

[0027] During specific use, the feed pipe 5 is connected to the feed port of the injection molding machine. Then when feeding is required, first the blower 2 and the heating pipe 4 are turned on, so as to blow high-temperature air into the drying outer shell 8. Then the switching valve 12 is opened, so that the particles in the hopper 13 are conveyed into the upper drying filter cartridge 9. The hot air dries the particles therein through the holes on the surface of the drying filter cartridge 9, and the drying is more uniform. Then the motor 11 drives the rotating bracket 10 to rotate, and the rotating bracket 10 drives the bottom drying filter cartridge 9 and the top drying filter cartridge 9 to change positions. When the bottom end of the drying filter cartridge 9 is butted against the feed pipe 5, the dried particles are conveyed into the injection molding machine through the feed pipe 5. Compared with the existing feeding device, the utility model can dry the particles more uniformly and improve the injection molding quality.
