DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that if there are directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention, such as the orientation or position relationship of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, which are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, it is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0025] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, terms such as "installed," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4As shown, a discharge mechanism of an injection molding machine is provided, the main body of which includes an injection molding frame 10, a driving mechanism 20, a discharge mechanism 30 and a clamping mechanism 40. The injection molding frame 10, the driving mechanism 20 and the clamping mechanism 40 are all existing technologies, which are familiar to technicians in this technical field and will not be described in detail here.
[0027] The discharging mechanism 30 includes a feed hopper 31, a feeding channel 32, and a discharging nozzle 33. The right end of the feeding channel 32 is connected to the driving mechanism 20, and the left end is connected to the discharging nozzle 33. The feed hopper 31 is installed above the right side of the feeding channel 32 and is connected to the interior of the feeding channel 32.
[0028] It is worth noting that a heating device is also provided outside the feeding channel 32. After the plastic particles enter the feeding channel 32 from the feed hopper 31, they are heated by the heating device so that the plastic particles are melted into the plastic flow required for processing. Since this heating device is also well known to technicians in this technical field in the prior art, no further explanation will be given.
[0029] A gravity ball (331) is provided inside the discharge nozzle 33. When discharging, the gravity ball (331) is pushed open by the melted plastic flow, opening the nozzle, and the plastic flow is transported out of the discharge nozzle 33. When the feeding stops, the gravity ball (331) automatically and quickly closes the nozzle to block the plastic flow in time.
[0030] It should be noted that this gravity ball is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or brass, but is not limited to stainless steel or brass; and the method of using a gravity ball for interception is suitable for the production of plastic types with high flow length ratio and low melt viscosity such as PP and PE.
[0031] Preferably, the diameter of the gravity ball 331 is smaller than the aperture of the discharge nozzle 33 , thereby ensuring that the gravity ball interacts within the discharge nozzle 33 .
[0032] Preferably, the discharge nozzle 33 is provided with an upper opening 332 and a lower opening 333, and the upper opening 332 and the lower opening 333 are connected to form an inner cavity 334. The discharge nozzle 33 is also provided with a docking portion 335 and a discharge portion 336. The docking portion 335 is provided at the upper opening 332 of the discharge nozzle 33, and is fixedly connected to the end of the feed channel 32 and is internally communicated; the discharge portion 336 is provided at the lower opening 333, and a positioning groove 337 for fixing the gravity ball 331 is provided in the inner cavity 334. A ball storage portion 338 is also provided in the inner cavity 334 at the end of the discharge nozzle 33 away from the docking portion 335, so that the gravity ball 331 can move between the positioning groove 337 and the ball storage portion 338 of this inner cavity 334.
[0033] Preferably, the length of the ball storage portion 338 is greater than the diameter of the gravity ball 331 , so that the gravity ball 331 can be completely stored in the ball storage portion, opening the lower opening 333 .
[0034] Preferably, in the inner cavity 334 of the discharge nozzle 33, a downward slope 339 is provided from left to right between the ball storage portion 338 and the positioning groove 337 to provide a rolling path for the gravity ball 331. When the plastic flow is not being conveyed, the gravity ball 331 automatically falls back to the positioning groove 337 under the action of gravity, blocking the lower opening.
[0035] Preferably, the slope of the lower slope 339 ranges from 0 to 30 degrees, with a certain slope so that the gravity ball 331 can naturally fall to the positioning groove 337 when no material is fed, but the slope cannot be too large so that the gravity ball rushes out of the positioning groove 337.
[0036] Preferably, the positioning groove 337 has a concave edge portion 3371 that can engage with the gravity ball 331 , and the diameter of the positioning groove 337 is smaller than the diameter of the gravity ball 331 , so that the gravity ball 331 fits in the positioning groove 337 and blocks the lower opening 333 .
[0037] Preferably, the discharge portion 336 of the discharge nozzle 33 is in the shape of a cone that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the cross section of the discharge portion 336 is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid, so that the plastic flow is more uniform and stable when being transported outward.
[0038] Preferably, the discharge nozzle 33 and the end of the feed channel 32 are provided with mutually matching threads, and the use of thread matching makes the sealing performance of the nozzle and the feed channel 32 better.
[0039] Working principle: When the injection molding machine starts working, the driving mechanism 20 drives the feeding channel 32 to transport the plastic particles coming in from the feed hopper 31. The heating equipment outside the feeding channel 32 melts the plastic particles into a plastic flow. As the feeding channel 32 pushes the plastic flow to the discharge sleeve 33, under the thrust of the plastic flow, the gravity ball 331 is pushed open and flows along the lower slope 339 to the ball storage part 338. The plastic flow flows out of the lower opening 333 along the positioning groove 337 and further flows into the clamping mechanism 40; when the driving mechanism 20 stops working, the feeding channel 32 no longer pushes the plastic flow forward. The gravity ball 331 automatically falls to the positioning groove 337 under the action of gravity, and fits into the concave edge 3371, blocking the positioning groove 337 and the lower opening 333 at the same time, quickly intercepting the plastic flow so that no excess plastic flow flows out of the lower opening 333, avoiding unnecessary waste.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
