Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An injection molding machine is a mechanical device used for plastic molding and is widely used in the production of plastic products. It melts plastic particles by heating them, then injects them into a mold and cools them to form various plastic parts. Injection molding is one of the most commonly used manufacturing processes in the modern plastic processing industry. Its core is to heat the plastic raw materials to a molten state and inject them into the mold at high pressure to cool and form them. In this process, the performance of the heating device directly affects key indicators such as the production efficiency, product quality and energy consumption of the injection molding machine.

[0003] Traditional injection molding machine heating devices usually use heating tubes for heating. The heating tubes are installed on the outer wall of the barrel to conduct heat to the side wall of the barrel. The conducted heat heats the material to prevent the material from solidifying. Part of the heat is absorbed by the barrel wall for conduction, and the other part of the heat will be dissipated into the external space and lost. Moreover, the material close to the inner wall of the barrel absorbs more heat and melts faster, but the material far from the side wall of the barrel absorbs less heat and melts slowly. This heating method can easily lead to uneven temperature distribution of the raw materials, thereby affecting the quality of the molded products. Utility Model Content

During use, the barrel is heated by multiple heating rings, and the multiple heating rings are covered with the shell to avoid heat loss. At the same time, the inside of the shell is blown by the air supply mechanism, and the air is converted into hot air after contact with the multiple heating rings. The hot air enters the connecting seat through multiple branch pipes and enters the inside of the injection molding rod, and is sprayed to the inside of the raw material part through multiple circular holes, and the raw material is heated twice, so that the raw material is heated evenly and the quality of the molded product is improved. The materials of different sizes are crushed by the crushing mechanism to avoid large differences in the size of the material particles, which causes the material to enter the barrel for melting, resulting in a low speed and reduced work efficiency.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention, the crushing mechanism includes two rotating shafts, both of which are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper, and the two rotating shafts are in a parallel state. The side walls of the two rotating shafts are sleeved with crushing rollers, and one end of the two rotating shafts is sleeved with gears, and the two gears are meshed. A second motor is fixed to the outer wall of the feed hopper, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixed to one of the rotating shafts. The second motor is driven to drive one of the rotating shafts to rotate, and the two gears cooperate to drive the other rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the two crushing rollers to rotate in a counter-rotating manner, which can crush the material, avoid large differences in material particle size, affect the later melting speed, and improve work efficiency.

[0008] As a further solution of the present utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a first motor, which is fixed to one end of the top of the operating table, the output shaft of the first motor is sleeved with a first synchronous wheel, one end of the injection rod is sleeved with a second synchronous wheel, and the top of the operating table is rotatably connected with a synchronous belt, one end of the synchronous belt is sleeved on the side wall of the first synchronous wheel, and the other end of the synchronous belt is sleeved on the side wall of the second synchronous wheel.

At this time, the hot air enters the connecting seat through the plurality of branch pipes, and enters the interior of the injection molding rod through the connecting seat. The hot air entering the interior of the injection molding rod is sprayed into the interior of the molten material through the plurality of circular holes, and the melted material is subjected to secondary heating treatment, which avoids heat loss while making the material heated more evenly, thereby improving the quality of the molded product.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. During the use of this device, the raw materials are injected into the barrel through the feed hopper, and the barrel is heated by multiple heating rings, and then the raw materials are melted. During the melting process, the multiple heating rings are covered by the outer shell to avoid heat loss. At the same time, the inside of the outer shell is blown by the air supply mechanism. After the air contacts the multiple heating rings, it becomes hot air. The hot air enters the connecting seat through multiple branch pipes and enters the inside of the injection molding rod. It is sprayed to the inside of the raw material part through multiple circular holes to heat the raw materials for the second time. During the heating process, the injection molding rod is driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism, and the raw materials are stirred in conjunction with the stirring mechanism, so that the raw materials are heated evenly and the quality of the molded products is improved.

[0014] 2.
