[0002] In the production process of injection molding machine, the cleaning of the hopper has always been a thorny problem. The hopper of the traditional injection molding machine is usually fixed on the equipment, and after the injection molding is completed, the remaining material is left in the hopper, and the cleaning work is not only tedious and time-consuming, but also easy to cause material waste or equipment damage due to improper operation. The common cleaning method at present is manual cleaning, which is low in efficiency and incomplete in cleaning, and the remaining material may affect the quality and efficiency of the next injection molding. In addition, frequent manual operation also increases the labor intensity and production cost. Although there are some auxiliary cleaning devices on the market, most of them have complex structure, high installation and maintenance cost, and cannot well adapt to injection molding machines and hoppers of different specifications, so the applicability is poor.
