[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a mixing device for a two-color injection molding machine includes a two-color injection molding machine body 1, a heating structure 2, and a plastic granule mixing device 3, which is installed at the feeding end of the heating structure 2.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the plastic granule mixing device 3 includes a mixing box 31. A high-efficiency stirring and mixing device 33 is rotatably installed inside the mixing box 31. The high-efficiency stirring and mixing device 33 includes a rotating shaft 331, which passes through the top side of the mixing box 31 and extends to the lower part of the mixing box 31. A mounting cylinder 334 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the middle of the rotating shaft 331 via bearings. A driving bevel gear 335 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 331 and inside the mounting cylinder 334. Driven bevel gears 336 are meshed with the teeth of the driving bevel gear 335. The output ends of the driven bevel gears 336 pass through the mounting cylinder 334 via bearings. A rotating rod 337 is installed at the output end of each driven bevel gear 336. Stirring rods are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating rod 337. 338. Feed hoppers 312 are provided at the left and right ends of the top side of the mixing box 31. Discharge pipes 313 are provided at the bottom of the mixing box 31 and the discharge hopper 32. Valves are provided on the discharge pipes 313. A stirring motor 34 is installed on the top side of the rotating shaft 331. The stirring motor 34 is connected to an external power source. Multiple sets of stirring rods 338 are arranged around the rotating shaft 331 as the center. The design is relatively long. Through the installed plastic granule mixing device 3, two kinds of plastic granules used in two-color injection molding machines can be mixed. The rotation of the rotating shaft 331 causes the stirring rods 338 around the rotating shaft 331 to stir. This allows the stirring rods 338 and the stirring rod 332 to stir in different directions, so that they are fully mixed, saving time and improving the mixing efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a hopper 32 is provided on the bottom side of the mixing box 31. A dust collection trough 321 is provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the hopper 32. Dust collection holes 322 are arranged in the dust collection trough 321. A collection bin is provided between the mixing box 31 and the hopper 32. A dust discharge trough 311 is provided around the collection bin. By opening a dust collection trough on the hopper, the dust adhering to the mixture can be shaken off by stirring and collected in the dust collection trough 321. Some dust falls into the collection bin through the dust discharge holes 322. The fallen dust can be cleaned up later through the dust discharge trough 311.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, stirring rods 332 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 331. Scrapers 333 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the stirring rods 332 at both ends. The scrapers 333 are in contact with the inner sides of the mixing box 31 and the hopper 32. The stirring rods 332 at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 331 further stir the mixture. The scrapers 333 connected to the stirring rods 332 can scrape off the mixture adhering to the inner side of the mixing box 31 while stirring, thus reducing waste.

[0033] This utility model provides a mixing device for a two-color injection molding machine. The specific working principle is as follows: When mixing materials in a two-color injection molding machine, two kinds of plastic granules are added from the feed hoppers 312 at both ends. At the same time, the stirring motor 34 is started to drive the rotating shaft 331 to rotate. The active bevel gear 335 drives the driven bevel gears 336 around it to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rods 337 and the second stirring rod 338 around it to rotate. At the same time, the rotating stirring rod 332 drives the scraper 333 to rotate. During the mixing process, the dust adhering to the mixed material falls off due to the stirring and is collected in the dust collection trough 321. It can be collected in the collection bin through the dust discharge hole 322 and then cleaned through the dust discharge trough 311. After the mixing is completed, the mixed material is allowed to enter the heating structure 2 from the discharge pipe 313 through the valve for heating, and then sprayed out by the nozzle for injection molding.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
