[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-2 An easy-to-clean injection molding machine for injection molding plastic products includes a support base 1, a heating cylinder 2 welded to the top outer wall of the support base 1, and a feed hopper 3 disposed on the heating cylinder 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, the feed hopper 3 is provided with an electric cleaning mechanism, which includes a mounting frame 4 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the feed hopper 3, a motor 5 fixedly installed on the top center outer wall of the mounting frame 4, a transmission shaft 6 provided in the feed hopper 3, and scraper 7 and scraper 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission shaft 6 in sequence.
[0026] Furthermore, the feed hopper 3 is composed of a pipe component fixedly connected to the top of the heating cylinder 2 and a hopper portion fixedly connected to the top of the pipe portion. The inclined blade of scraper 1 7 contacts the inner wall of the hopper portion, and the blade of scraper 2 8 contacts the inner wall of the pipe portion.
[0027] Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 5 passes through the mounting bracket 4 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the top of the transmission shaft 6 via a coupling. The other side of the heating cylinder 2 is threadedly connected to the injection molding machine nozzle 19, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the injection molding machine nozzle 19.
[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the motor 5 drives the transmission shaft 6 to rotate, and then the scraper 7 and scraper 8 on the transmission shaft 6 will rotate in the hopper and pipe sections respectively. In this way, the plastic granules adhering in the feed hopper 3 can be automatically cleaned, saving time and effort and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.
[0029] Example 2, refer to Figure 2-4 This embodiment is an optimization based on embodiment 1. Specifically, the heating barrel 2 is equipped with a detachable screw extrusion mechanism.
[0030] In this embodiment, the detachable screw extrusion mechanism includes an assembly plate 9 with threaded pins 15 welded to the outer walls of all four corners on one side, an extrusion screw 18 that is connected to the inner wall of the center of the assembly plate 9 through bearings and located in the heating barrel 2, a drive assembly, a positioning plate 14 fixedly connected to one side of the heating barrel 2, and a scraper 20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the extrusion screw 18, the blade of the scraper 20 being in contact with the inner wall of the heating barrel 2;
[0031] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a fixed cover 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other side of the assembly plate 9, a drive motor 11 fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the fixed cover 10, a drive bevel gear 12 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 11, and a driven bevel gear 13 fixedly mounted on one end of the extrusion screw 18. The output shaft of the drive motor 11 passes through the fixed cover 10, and the drive bevel gear 12 and the driven bevel gear 13 mesh with each other and are both located inside the fixed cover 10.
[0032] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the positioning plate 14 is provided with a pin hole 16 that is compatible with the threaded pin 15. The four threaded pins 15 are respectively inserted into the four pin holes 16, and the exposed parts of the four threaded pins 15 are threaded with a wing nut 17.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, insert the four threaded pins 15 on the assembly plate 9 into the corresponding four pin holes 16. At this time, the assembly plate 9 and the positioning plate 14 are locked together by the threaded engagement of the four wing nuts 17 and the four threaded pins 15. In this way, the extrusion screw 18 on the assembly plate 9 can be installed into the heating barrel 2.
[0034] Secondly, the drive motor 11 controls the rotation of the active bevel gear 12, and the driven bevel gear 13, which meshes with the active bevel gear 12, drives the extrusion screw 18 to rotate inside the heating barrel 2, which can push the plastic material entering from the feed hopper 3 forward.

The heated and melted plastic material is extruded from the injection molding machine nozzle 19 and injected into the subsequent mold.
[0035] Finally, as the extrusion screw 18 rotates, it also drives the scraper 20 to rotate, effectively cleaning the plastic material adhering to the inner wall of the heating barrel 2. By unscrewing the four wing nuts 17, the extrusion screw 18 can be removed from the heating barrel 2 for cleaning.
