Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of injection molding machine feeding, in particular to a feeding device for an injection molding machine. Background Art

[0002] The injection molding machine is the main molding equipment that uses plastic molding molds to make plastic products of various shapes from thermoplastic plastics or thermosetting plastics. The cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding - melting and plasticizing - pressure injection - mold filling and cooling - mold opening and part removal. The feeding device is used to transport the plastic raw materials to the heated barrel, which is the starting step of the injection molding process.

[0003] The feed barrel of an existing injection molding machine has a simple structure. Raw material is first placed into the barrel and gradually enters the machine under its own weight. However, the raw material cannot remain fluid in the barrel and is prone to solidification. Furthermore, the portion of raw material that adheres to the inner wall of the barrel adheres to the barrel after solidification, requiring frequent manual cleaning, resulting in material waste and increased worker workload. Therefore, a solution to this problem is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The stirring mechanism includes a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, a fixed cylinder is provided at the bottom of the first rotating rod, a circular hole communicating with the interior of the fixed cylinder is opened at the top of the fixed cylinder, and the bottom of the first rotating rod passes through the circular hole and is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, a first bevel gear is sleeved on the bottom of the outer wall of the first rotating rod, and the first bevel gear is located inside the fixed cylinder, two symmetrical oblique holes are opened at both ends of the bottom of the fixed cylinder, and a second rotating rod is rotatably connected in the oblique hole, and a second bevel gear is fixed on the top of each of the two second rotating rods, and the second bevel gears are respectively connected to the first bevel gears The two ends of the wheel are meshed with each other, and a first stirring rod is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the two second rotating rods, and two second stirring rods are fixed to the top of the outer wall of the two second rotating rods. A limiting rod is fixed to the top of the first bevel gear, and the top of the limiting rod passes through the annular hole and is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the feed barrel. Scraping mechanisms for scraping the inner wall of the feed barrel are provided on both sides of the bottom of the fixed barrel. The rotation of the fixed barrel will drive the second rotating rod to revolve, and the second bevel gear will engage with the first bevel gear to drive the second rotating rod to rotate, thereby driving the first stirring rod to stir the raw material inside the feed barrel to prevent the raw material from solidifying.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, the scraping mechanism includes L-shaped connecting rods fixed on both sides of the bottom of the fixed cylinder, and scrapers are fixed at the other ends of the two L-shaped connecting rods, and the scrapers are in contact with the inner wall of the feed cylinder.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the conveying mechanism includes a third rotating rod fixed to the bottom of the fixed cylinder, and an auger is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the third rotating rod, which prevents the discharge port from being blocked during discharge.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the feed barrel, and the auger is located inside the discharge port.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, a motor is installed on the top of the feeding cylinder, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first rotating rod.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, the heating mechanism includes an inner cavity interlayer opened on the inner wall of the feed barrel, and a heating rod is installed around the interior of the inner cavity interlayer. The inner cavity interlayer is provided with an insulation layer away from the inner wall of the feed barrel. The heating rod is connected to an external power supply.

[0015] The utility model adopts a heating rod, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a second rotating rod, and a first stirring rod. When the first rotating rod rotates, it drives the fixed cylinder to rotate, and the fixed cylinder drives the second rotating rod to revolve. Since the first bevel gear is sleeved on the outer wall of the first rotating rod, the first bevel gear is stationary. At this time, the second bevel gear will mesh with the first bevel gear and drive the second rotating rod to rotate. The second rotating rod will drive the first stirring rod to rotate. Then, by starting the heating rod, the inner wall of the feed barrel is heated to prevent the raw material from solidifying. The first stirring rod will keep the raw material inside the feed barrel in a flowing state, further preventing the raw material from solidifying. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that the raw material is first put into the feed barrel and gradually enters the interior of the injection molding machine by its own weight. However, the raw material cannot remain in a flowing state in the feed barrel and is prone to solidification. This achieves the effect of stirring the raw material inside the feed barrel to prevent solidification.

[0016] The utility model adopts a fixed cylinder, a scraper, and an L-shaped connecting rod. When the fixed cylinder rotates, the fixed cylinder will drive the L-shaped connecting rod to rotate, and the L-shaped connecting rod will drive the scraper to contact the inner wall of the feed cylinder, thereby causing the scraper to scrape and clean part of the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the feed cylinder. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that the part of the raw material close to the inner wall of the feed cylinder will adhere to the inner wall of the barrel after solidification, requiring frequent manual cleaning, resulting in waste of raw materials and increased workload of workers, thereby achieving the effect of automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the feed cylinder.
