Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of injection molding machine feeding, and in particular to a feeding mechanism of an injection molding machine for plastic products. Background Art

[0002] The injection molding machine's feed mechanism is an important component used to introduce plastic pellets into the machine, ensuring that the plastic pellets can enter the barrel of the injection molding machine smoothly and efficiently for melting and injection molding. However, since plastic pellets are naturally hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air, the molecular structure of these materials easily interacts with moisture, resulting in an increase in moisture content in the pellets. When the plastic pellets are directly heated and melted, the moisture inside them will evaporate rapidly, forming bubbles. These bubbles will remain inside the product during injection molding, causing surface blemishes or internal defects, affecting appearance and performance. Therefore, the plastic pellets need to be dried before being added to the barrel of the injection molding machine.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to solve the problem of product defects caused by high moisture content in plastic particles, workers need to pre-dry the plastic particles in an external drying device before the injection molding machine is operated, so as to solve the problem of product defects caused by moisture in the plastic particles.

[0004] However, due to the large amount of plastic particles used, the injection molding machine needs to frequently transfer the plastic particles in the dryer to the injection molding machine during operation, which not only prolongs the production cycle but also significantly reduces production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine for plastic products to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

The surfaces of the two pulleys are both covered with transmission belts, and the two pulleys are connected by the transmission belt.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical rod can be stably supported to avoid shaking of the vertical rod during rotation, which may affect the addition of plastic particles.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom end of the vertical rod passes through the heat-conducting inner shell and extends to the inside of the connecting pipe, and a spiral conveying blade is installed on the outer wall of the vertical rod located inside the connecting pipe.

[0020] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed at the connection point between the connecting pipe and the injection screw to control the connection and closing of the spiral conveying blade and the injection screw.

[0021] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. The feeding mechanism of the injection molding machine for plastic products utilizes the cooperation between the electric heating wire and the exhaust fan. When the plastic particles are added to the interior of the heat-conducting inner shell, the exhaust fan can extract the heat generated by the electric heating wire into the interior of the heat-conducting inner shell, and use the heat of the electric heating wire to dry the plastic particles. While the plastic particles are drying, the motor can use the transmission connection between the pulley and the transmission belt to drive the toggle rod to rotate, to toggle the plastic particles, so as to increase the uniformity of the plastic particles when drying, thereby achieving the drying of the plastic particles while feeding, while avoiding product defects caused by moisture in the plastic particles, reducing the production cycle and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0033] When the plastic particles are added to the interior of the heat-conducting inner shell 22 through the guide shell 27, the electric heating wire 24 is synchronously driven to work, and the electric heating wire 24 generates heat between the heat-insulating outer shell 21 and the heat-conducting inner shell 22. The exhaust fan 25 is used to extract the heat of the electric heating wire 24, so that the heat enters the interior of the heat-conducting inner shell 22 to dry the plastic particles.
