[0036] In the description of this utility model, the use of "first" and "second" is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or the order of the technical features.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0038] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 9 A multi-color masterbatch machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the multi-color masterbatch machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an output base 100 and a masterbatch conveying assembly. The output base 100 is provided with a material channel 101. The masterbatch conveying assembly includes at least two masterbatch conveying modules 200 disposed on the output base 100. The masterbatch conveying modules 200 are used for quantitative output of materials. The masterbatch conveying module 200 includes a fixed frame 210, a conveying mechanism, and a hopper 230. The conveying mechanism is provided with a material output port 201 and a material input port 202 connected to the hopper 230. The fixed frame 210 is fixedly disposed on the output base 100 and is provided with an inspection port 211. The conveying mechanism is movably disposed on the fixed frame 210 and can move relative to the fixed frame 210 to the output position and the inspection position. When the conveying mechanism is in the output position, the material output port 201 corresponds to the material channel 101. When the conveying mechanism is in the inspection position, the material output port 201 corresponds to the inspection port 211.

[0040] By configuring at least two color masterbatch conveying modules 200 capable of quantitatively outputting materials in the output seat 100, various different color masterbatches can be mixed in the material channel 101 before being output, thereby improving the efficiency of color masterbatch addition.

[0041] Specifically, during operation, the material channel 101 is connected to the hopper of the injection molding machine. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the material from the material input port 202 to the material output port 201. Multiple different color masterbatches can be simultaneously transported to the material channel 101 through the independent color masterbatch conveying module 200, mixed, and output to the hopper of the injection molding machine, thereby improving the efficiency of color masterbatch addition and improving the overall working efficiency of the injection molding machine.

[0042] The conveying mechanism can move relative to the fixed frame 210 to the output position and the detection position. When the conveying mechanism is in the output position, the material output port 201 corresponds to the material channel 101, and the conveying mechanism can output materials normally. When the conveying mechanism is in the detection position, the material output port 201 deviates from the material channel 101, and the material output port 201 corresponds to the inspection port 211. The material output by the conveying mechanism is sent out through the inspection port 211. The operator can collect the quantitatively output material of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 at the inspection port 211 to determine whether the quantitatively output material of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 meets the set output quantity requirements. The operator can also adjust the output quantity of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 according to the material obtained from the inspection port 211, so that the color masterbatch conveying module 200 has better output accuracy.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the output amount of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 is set according to the working time, that is, the output amount of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 is controlled by setting the working time of the color masterbatch conveying module 200.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the multi-color masterbatch machine also includes a control module, which can control the conveying time of the conveying mechanism, thereby controlling the output of the masterbatch conveying module 200.

[0045] Specifically, during the initial operation, the conveying mechanism moves to the detection position, and the operator sets up the weighing mechanism at the inspection port 211. After the conveying mechanism is turned on, the time it takes for the output of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 to reach the set output is recorded. The conveying time of the conveying mechanism is set to this time through the control module, so that the output of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 is approximately the set output during operation. That is, the material can be output quantitatively by simply keeping the conveying mechanism at the set working interval, reducing the time for repeated weighing and improving the efficiency of batching. When the material output needs to be adjusted later, the conveying mechanism is moved to the detection position again, and the weighing adjustment is continued.

[0046] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying mechanism is a screw conveying mechanism. The screw conveying mechanism includes a rotation drive unit 221, a screw 222, and a barrel 223. The screw 222 is rotatably disposed inside the barrel 223. The rotation drive unit 221 is connected to the screw 222. One end of the barrel 223 is provided with a material inlet 202, and the other end of the barrel 223 is provided with a material outlet 201. The barrel 223 is movably disposed on the fixed frame 210. By moving the position of the barrel 223, the material outlet 201 is moved to correspond to the material channel 101 or the inspection port 211. The material is conveyed to the material channel 101 or the inspection port 211 by the screw conveying mechanism.

[0047] Specifically, the rotation drive unit 221 can be an electric motor mechanism, a pneumatic motor, etc.

[0048] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying mechanism may also be a conveyor belt mechanism, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the screw conveying mechanism further includes a conveying bracket 224, and the material cylinder 223 is fixedly disposed on the conveying bracket 224. The conveying bracket 224 is slidably disposed on the fixed frame 210 through a sliding engagement mechanism, thereby adjusting the position of the material cylinder 223.

[0050] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the sliding engagement mechanism includes a stud 225 that is threadedly engaged with the conveying bracket 224. The fixing bracket 210 is provided with a groove 212 that can slidably engage with the stud 225. The stud 225 is provided with an abutment 226 that can abut against the fixing bracket 210. The stud 225 passes through the groove 212 and is connected to the conveying bracket 224. The abutment 226 can abut against the fixing bracket 210. When the position of the material cylinder 223 needs to be adjusted, the stud 225 can be loosened. When the position of the material cylinder 223 needs to be fixed, the stud 225 can be tightened so that the fixing bracket 210 is clamped between the abutment 226 and the conveying bracket 224.

[0051] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the sliding fit mechanism may also be a slide rail mechanism, a guide rod mechanism, etc., and the fixed frame 210 and the conveying bracket 224 may also be positioned by a pin mechanism, etc.

[0052] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the stud 225 is connected to one end of the conveying bracket 224 near the output seat 100, and the fixing bracket 210 extends in the direction away from the output seat 100 and is provided with a support portion 213 that can abut against the bottom of the conveying bracket 224 to provide stable support for the conveying mechanism.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the support part 213 and the bottom of the conveying bracket 224 are offset from the stud 225 for support. The rotation drive unit 221 and the hopper 230 are both set at the position of the conveying bracket 224 offset from the stud 225, so that the center of gravity of the color masterbatch conveying module 200 is located at the position of the conveying bracket 224 offset from the stud 225. Thus, the stud 225 and the support part 213 form a support structure that can stably support the color masterbatch conveying module 200. After loosening the stud 225, the color masterbatch conveying module 200 can be lifted with the stud 225 as the fulcrum, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the conveying mechanism.

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material cylinder 223 is provided with a cleaning port 203 with the opening facing downward and corresponding to the material input port 202. A cleaning port cover 204 is provided at the cleaning port 203 to facilitate cleaning of the screw conveyor mechanism and the hopper 230.

[0055] Specifically, the material inlet 202 faces upward and corresponds to the outlet of the hopper 230, while the cleaning port 203 faces downward and is distributed opposite to the material inlet 202. When the cleaning port cover 204 is opened, the outlet of the hopper 230 and the inside of the material cylinder 223 can be cleaned directly.

[0056] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the screw 222 and the barrel 223 are gradually raised along the conveying direction so that the material output port 201 is higher than the material input port 202, that is, the material output port 201 is in a higher position, so that when the conveying mechanism is not started, the material in the barrel 223 is not easy to fall from the material output port 201, thereby improving the accuracy of material output.

[0057] Specifically, since the color masterbatch is a granular material, it is very easy to roll off due to its own weight. By setting the screw 222 and the barrel 223 as a lifting structure, the material output by the conveying mechanism is basically the material actively fed out by the conveying mechanism, thereby improving the accuracy of material output.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the output seat 100 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the color masterbatch conveying module 200 and is connected to the insertion port 102 of the material channel 101. When the conveying mechanism is in the output position, the end of the material cylinder 223 with the material output port 201 is inserted into the material channel 101 through the insertion port 102, thereby realizing the output of the material.

[0059] Specifically, the output base 100 has a square structure with insertion ports 102 on each of its four sides, and four color masterbatch conveying modules 200 are configured accordingly, which can meet the feeding and mixing of four different color masterbatches. Of course, in the specific implementation process, two or three color masterbatch conveying modules 200 can also be configured as needed, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a baffle 214 is provided at the inspection port 211. The baffle 214 extends obliquely downward in a direction away from the output seat 100 to guide the material outward and facilitate the reception of the material output from the inspection port 211.

[0061] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the inspection port 211 may be a clearance structure, a notch, or a part without a solid structure on the fixing frame 210.

[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the multi-color masterbatch machine also includes a stirring mechanism 300, which is used to stir the material in the material channel 101 to improve the mixing effect of different masterbatches.

[0063] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the stirring mechanism 300 includes a stirring drive unit 310 fixedly disposed on the output seat 100 and a stirring paddle assembly 320 connected to the stirring drive unit 310. The stirring paddle assembly 320 extends into the material channel 101, and the mixing effect is achieved by rotating the stirring paddle assembly 320.

[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one side of the output seat 100 is provided with an installation port into which the mixing paddle assembly 320 can extend, and the other side of the output seat 100 is provided with an observation port 103 opposite to the installation port. An observation window 104 is detachably installed at the observation port 103 to facilitate observation of the mixing situation, and the mixing paddle assembly 320 can be cleaned by removing the observation window 104.

[0065] Specifically, the observation window 104 can be detachably installed to the output base 100 via screws, clips, or other mechanisms. The observation window 104 is made of transparent materials such as glass or acrylic.

[0066] Of course, this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
