[0029] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the utility model are described in detail as follows in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The embodiment is aimed at providing an intelligent control device for the rotation speed of the screw of an injection molding machine, which comprises a base 1, a support 12 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, an outer shell 2 fixedly installed in the support 12, a processing cavity 21 formed in one side of the outer shell 2, a connecting screw 3 clamped and installed in the processing cavity 21, and an outer spiral blade 34 fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting screw 3. The device further comprises an inner shaft 4, a mounting hole 35 formed in the side wall of the connecting screw 3, and the inner shaft 4 clamped and installed in the mounting hole 35. The connecting screw 3 is used to transport, compress and melt the material in the processing cavity 21. The rotary motion of the connecting screw 3 makes the material in the screw groove experience shear deformation, generates shear heat, and promotes the melting of the material.

[0031] The connecting screw rod 3 at least comprises a screw rod a31, the screw rod a31 is fixedly installed with a screw rod b32 on one side, the screw rod b32 is fixedly installed with a screw rod c33 on one side, a gap groove 36 is arranged between the screw rod a31 and the screw rod b32, and the same gap groove 36 is arranged between the screw rod b32 and the screw rod c33. The screw rod a31, the screw rod b32 and the screw rod c33 are fixedly connected through an outer spiral blade 34. The gap groove 36 interrupts the continuous spiral flow path, forcing the material to recombine the flow lines when passing through the gap, forming additional shearing and stretching effects. This non-uniform flow field helps to disperse and distribute mixing. The sudden change in cross-sectional area at the gap may induce local vortex flow, prolong the residence time of the material, and promote the interface interaction of multi-phase components. In the multi-stage design, the gap groove 36 can be used as a “reset point” for thermodynamic state. The incompletely melted material in the front stage experiences a short pressure release at the gap, and the screw rod in the subsequent stage can avoid local overheating or uneven melting by re-pressing and shearing. The gap groove 36 can reduce the accumulation of viscous dissipation heat caused by continuous shearing, which is particularly important for heat-sensitive materials, reducing the risk of degradation. The gap groove 36 can partially absorb the pressure pulsation generated by the front-stage screw rod, reduce the outlet pressure fluctuation, improve the extrusion stability, especially in high-speed or high-viscosity working conditions.

The gap between the inner spiral blade 421 and the cylinder is smaller, forming a high shear zone, and the secondary dispersion is carried out on the agglomerates (such as nano fillers) that are not fully broken in the front section, the agitation of the inner spiral blade 421 enhances the heat conduction inside the melt, and the local temperature drop caused by the expansion of the gap groove 36 is alleviated.
