[0002] In pipe production, the raw materials for plastic pipes are basically corresponding single-color plastic granules or mixed plastic granules. When color mixing is required, the corresponding plastic granules need to be mixed first, and then the material is sucked into the screw extruder by the suction equipment for melt extrusion processing.

[0003] Existing mixing equipment typically requires feeding the entire package of material into a hopper, mixing it with a stirring device, and then discharging it into a bucket through a valve. The material is then sucked into the extruder using a negative pressure air duct. Due to the narrow suction range, at the end of the process, workers need to move the air duct back and forth to suck away all the remaining material at the bottom of the bucket, which is very troublesome and has room for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

[0006] A first material pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the four-legged support frame below the conical bottom. A second material pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the four-legged support frame adjacent to the first material pipe below the conical bottom. A material cutting mechanism is provided at the end of the first material pipe and the second material pipe away from the conical bottom. A material collecting hopper is provided directly below the first material pipe on the four-legged support frame. A material dropping opening is provided on the bottom of the material dropping pipe on the side corresponding to the material collecting hopper.

[0007] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the cutting mechanism includes an upper slot, a side fixing shaft, a cutting plate, and a handle. The upper slot is opened above the corresponding pipe. The side fixing shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the upper slot in the counterclockwise direction of the pipe. The cutting plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the side fixing shaft at a position corresponding to the upper slot. The top of the cutting plate is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0008] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the bottom of the discharge pipe has a detachable sealing structure.

[0009] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the ends of the two spray pipes furthest from the pipe support are fixedly connected to the corresponding suction pipes via air pumps.

[0010] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the bottom of the discharge pipe is inserted into a negative pressure feed pipe equipped with a screw extruder through a discharge opening.

[0011] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the nozzles of the two spray pipes are respectively arranged on both sides of the mixing hopper body, and the spray nozzles of the two spray pipes are both arranged obliquely downward clockwise along the top inner wall of the mixing hopper body.

[0012] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the collecting hopper is a quarter-conical hopper, and the two ends of the top outer edge of the collecting hopper are respectively fixedly connected to the two support legs of a four-legged support frame.

[0013] According to the aforementioned mixing hopper for feeding plastic granules, the two sides of the hopper near the discharge pipe are fixedly connected to the discharge pipe at the two sides of the discharge opening.

[0014] The above solution has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model is equipped with a first material pipe and a collecting hopper, along with a discharge pipe and a discharge opening. The mixed material can fall into the collecting hopper through the first material pipe. The conical shape of the collecting hopper concentrates the material at the discharge opening, and then it enters the discharge pipe. The negative pressure feed pipe inserted inside the discharge pipe sucks the material in. Because the space inside the discharge pipe is narrow, it corresponds exactly to the effective suction area of ​​the negative pressure feed pipe, which can greatly improve its adsorption efficiency. The material is concentrated at one point, which also avoids the need for manual operation later, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0016] 2. The material collection hopper of this utility model, together with the first material pipe located above the material collection hopper, can disperse and mix the already mixed materials again by naturally dropping and collecting the materials through the first material pipe, thereby further improving the uniformity of the materials and enhancing the practicality of the device.

The negative pressure feed pipe inserted inside the discharge pipe 4 sucks the material in. Because the space inside the discharge pipe 4 is narrow, it corresponds exactly to the effective suction area of ​​the negative pressure feed pipe, which can greatly improve its adsorption efficiency. The material is concentrated at one point, which also avoids the need for manual operation later. Moreover, the first material pipe 5, which is set above the collecting hopper 7, can disperse and mix the already mixed material again through natural discharge and re-concentration, further improving the uniformity of the material.
