A plurality of second color mixing head flow channels 41 are provided along the circumferential direction on the outer circumference of the first color mixing head flow channel 42, and the second color mixing head flow channels 41 are connected to the first diverter valve core flow channel 31. A plurality of vertical grooves 43 are provided on the outer side wall of the upper end of the color mixing head 4 along the circumferential direction. The upper end of the groove 43 is provided with a groove extending inward and connected to the first color mixing head flow channel. A flow channel hole 44 connected to the flow channel 42; a color mixing head transition flange 5, which is sleeved on the outside of the color mixing head 4, and the color mixing head transition flange 5 is connected to the color mixing joint 2 through fasteners; a color mixing head flange 6, the color mixing head flange 6 is sleeved on the upper end of the color mixing head transition flange 5; a nozzle 7, which is inserted into the upper end of the color mixing head flange 6, and a vertical nozzle flow channel 71 is provided in the middle of the nozzle 7, which automatically adjusts the mixing ratio and injection speed of the color mixing head to achieve the best color mixing effect.
[0025] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, at least one heating ring 10 is sleeved on the outer side walls of the color mixing joint 2, the color mixing head transition flange 5, the color mixing head flange 6 and the nozzle 7 to maintain the temperature of the molten material.
[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, at least one protrusion 101 is provided on the outer wall of the heating coil 10 for easy installation.
[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the upper ends of the first diverter valve core flow channel 31 and the second diverter valve core flow channel 32 are both provided with steel ball seats 8, and steel balls 9 are provided in the steel ball seats 8. A large enough flow space is left in the steel ball seats 8, and the steel balls 9 can slide smoothly in the steel ball seats 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, a conical guide portion 45 is provided at the upper end of the color mixing head 4, and the conical guide portion 45 is used to guide the flow of the molten material.
[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the color mixing head flange 6 is provided with a first mounting hole 61 that matches the color mixing head transition flange 5, the upper side of the first mounting hole 61 is provided with a second mounting hole 62 that matches the conical guide portion 45, and the upper side of the second mounting hole 62 is provided with a third mounting hole 63 that matches the nozzle 7, which is convenient for installation.

The coordination of ball bearings 8 and 9 leaves ample room for material flow, allowing smooth sliding of ball bearings 9. During injection of color A molten material into chamber 1, ball bearings 9 in chamber 2, containing color B molten material, quickly act as a check valve to seal the flow path, preventing the pressurized molten material from flowing back into the other chamber and mixing the two molten materials. The color mixing head 4 is a key component, directly determining the product's color difference performance, color arrangement, and pattern. By replacing the color mixing head 4 with a different one, while keeping all other components unchanged, a wide variety of product patterns can be produced to meet the needs of diverse customers.
