Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, and in particular to a sprue recovery device for injection molding machines. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molding machines are the main molding equipment used to produce various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting materials using plastic molds. Injection molding is achieved through the injection molding machine and the mold. During the injection molding process, a sprue, also known as a gate, is formed at the joint between the frame and the part when the mold is cast. The sprue is formed by the cooling of the runner during the injection of the product. After the injection molding is completed and the mold is separated, the sprue will fall out from the gap in the mold. Because its composition and material are the same as the injection-molded product, it is mostly recycled.
[0003] A document with publication number CN105345992A discloses a sprue crushing and recycling system, including a sprue crushing and recycling box and a conveying mechanism. The recycling box includes a box body, a support frame, and a recycling hopper. The support frame is located inside the box body, with its bottom end resting on the inner bottom wall of the box body. The recycling hopper is detachably mounted on its top end. The top of the recycling hopper forms a funnel-shaped inlet extending towards the mold opening and closing surface. The bottom end of the recycling hopper forms an outlet extending towards the inner bottom wall of the box body. The recycling hopper contains a crushing wheel for crushing sprues, with a magnetic screen below the crushing wheel, covering the outlet. The conveying mechanism includes a suction pipe, a conveyor, and a conveying pipe. One end of the conveyor is connected to the inside of the box body via the suction pipe, and the other end is connected to the feeding hopper of the injection molding machine via the conveying pipe to transport the recycled sprue material from the box body to the feeding hopper. However, this solution still has shortcomings. In actual use, the size of the crushed sprues cannot be controlled, and the magnetic screen inside the equipment has poor filtration capacity, making it inconvenient for the sprues to fall off.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sprue recovery device for injection molding machines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sprue recovery device for injection molding machines.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sprue recovery device for injection molding machines, comprising a recovery box, a feeding hopper at the top of the recovery box, a crushing barrel and a sieve cylinder arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the recovery box, a first filter hole opened around the sieve cylinder, the crushing barrel being located directly below the feeding hopper, a vertically placed rotating shaft inside the crushing barrel, and crushing blades connected around the rotating shaft;
[0007] The lower end of the rotating shaft passes through the screen cylinder and extends to the bottom of the recycling box, where it is connected to the first motor. The first motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the recycling box. An inclined guide plate is provided below the screen cylinder, and a discharge port is provided on the lower side of the guide plate. The discharge port is connected through the recycling box, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the screen cylinder.
[0008] A support plate is provided below the screen cylinder, and the screen cylinder and the support plate are rotatably connected. The four sides of the support plate are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the recycling box, and a material discharge hole is provided in the middle of the support plate.
[0009] Preferably, a scraper is connected to the side of the screen cylinder, the bottom of the scraper is in contact with the support plate, and an opening is provided on the upper left side of the support plate.
[0010] Preferably, the opening is connected to a feed pipe, the left end of which is connected to a feeding box, the top right side of the feeding box is connected to a discharge pipe, the right end of which extends into the recycling box and is located above the crushing barrel, a screw is rotatably installed inside the feeding box, and a second motor is connected to the top of the feeding box, the output end of the second motor is connected to the screw.
[0011] Preferably, the support plate has a second filter hole.
[0012] Preferably, there are multiple crushing blades, and the length of the multiple crushing blades increases sequentially from top to bottom along the rotation axis.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] I. In this utility model, the length of multiple crushing blades increases sequentially from top to bottom along the rotating axis. The water inlet that just falls into the crushing barrel first contacts the shorter crushing blade for initial crushing. As the water inlet falls downward, the crushing degree of the water inlet increases with the increase in the length of the crushing blade, thereby improving the crushing efficiency and avoiding the situation where the water inlet cannot be crushed.
[0015] II. In this utility model, the first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the screen cylinder and scraper to rotate. The water outlets screened by the screen cylinder fall onto the support plate. The scraper scrapes the water outlets to the feed pipe and they fall into the feeding box from the feed pipe. The second motor drives the screw to rotate and sends the water outlets back to the crushing barrel through the discharge pipe for secondary crushing, thereby controlling the crushed size of the water outlets to meet the usage requirements.
[0016] Third, in this utility model, the screen cylinder rotates and screens via a rotating shaft, resulting in higher screening efficiency. At the same time, the scraper drives the water inlet to rotate on the support plate, and the second filter hole can perform secondary screening and filtration on the water inlet screened by the screen cylinder, thereby improving the screening and filtration capacity.

[0025] Furthermore, a scraper 8 is connected to the side of the screen cylinder 6. The bottom of the scraper 8 is in contact with the support plate 7. An opening is provided on the upper left side of the support plate 7, and a feed pipe 13 is connected to the opening. The left end of the feed pipe 13 is connected to the feeding box 12.
