Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, specifically to a multi-material circulating feeding system. Background Technology
[0002] For injection-molded products such as storage boxes, the main production method involves adding plastic granules as raw materials into an injection molding machine, heating and melting them, and then molding them in an injection mold. The plastic granules generally need to be dried before being fed into the machine.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN115214047B discloses an intelligent dehumidification and drying feeding system for injection molding workshops, including a feeding support frame. The feeding support frame is equipped with a cleaning box and a mixing tank from top to bottom. The mixing tank is equipped with a dehumidification and drying device for dehumidifying and drying plastic particles and uniformly mixing various plastic particles. The cleaning box is used for blowing and removing impurities from the plastic particles. The cleaning box is equipped with a metering box on both the left and right sides for quantitative weighing of plastic particles.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

The setting of the dispersion plate makes the incoming raw materials dispersed around the inner drying chamber, avoiding accumulation and improving the drying effect. Air is supplied from both sides of the outer drying chamber through the air inlet pipe at the same time, avoiding the situation where some raw materials are overheated and others are not dried due to excessive hot air concentration.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0034] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-9 A multi-material circulating feeding system includes a raw material circulating module and a feeding injection molding module. Both the raw material circulating module and the feeding injection molding module are provided in multiple sets. The raw material circulating module includes a storage device 1, a drying device 2, and a circulating feeding device 3, which are connected in sequence. The feeding injection molding module includes a feeding device 4 and an injection molding device 5, which are connected. The feeding device 4 in each set of feeding injection molding modules is connected to the circulating feeding device 3 in multiple sets of raw material circulating modules. The multiple feeding devices 4 are evenly distributed on the line of the circulating feeding device 3, and the circulating feeding device 3 gives priority to feeding the feeding device 4 that is closer.
[0035] The drying device 2 includes a dual-bin assembly 21 for segmented drying, a drying assembly 22 for heating and dehydration, and a stirring assembly 23 for stirring the raw materials. The inlet and outlet of the dual-bin assembly 21 are connected to the storage device 1 and the circulating feeding device 3, respectively. The drying assembly 22 and the stirring assembly 23 are both connected to the dual-bin assembly 21.
[0036] The feeding device 4 includes a mixing component 41 for mixing multiple raw materials, a weighing component 42 for accurately weighing the raw materials, and a receiving component 43 for receiving the raw materials during weighing. The inlet and outlet of the mixing component 41 are connected to the circulating feeding device 3 and the injection molding device 5, respectively. The weighing component 42 and the receiving component 43 are both connected to the mixing component 41, and the weighing component 42 is connected to the receiving component 43.
[0037] When the multi-material circulating feeding system is in normal use, the raw materials from the storage device 1 enter the upper hopper of the dual-hopper assembly 21. The drying assembly 22 and the stirring assembly 23 are activated. The drying assembly 22 supplies hot air to the dual-hopper assembly 21 to dry the raw materials, while the stirring assembly 23 stirs the raw materials. Some of the raw materials fall into the lower hopper of the dual-hopper assembly 21 under the stirring of the stirring assembly 23 for further drying. The dried raw materials are circulated and conveyed by the circulating feeding device 3. The weighing assembly 42 is activated and moves to the lower part of the corresponding receiving assembly 43, thereby weighing the raw materials in different groups of the circulating feeding device 3 in sequence. The weighed raw materials are mixed in the mixing assembly 41 and conveyed to the injection molding device 5 for injection molding. The unused raw materials in the circulating feeding device 3 are circulated back to the lower hopper of the dual-hopper assembly 21 for drying and then reused.
[0038] The dual-hopper assembly 21, with its two hoppers, combined with the drying assembly 22 and the mixing assembly 23, improves the drying effect of raw materials. Simultaneously, recycled raw materials directly enter the lower hopper of the dual-hopper assembly 21, reducing secondary drying time and increasing efficiency. Multiple circulating feeding devices 3 prioritize feeding materials to the nearest feeding device 4, ensuring that when multiple feeding devices 4 require raw materials, they first take and weigh materials from the nearest circulating feeding device 3. This avoids situations where multiple feeding devices 4 take materials from the same circulating feeding device 3, resulting in insufficient raw materials in some devices and excessive raw materials in others. The weighing assembly 42 and the receiving assembly 43 accurately weigh different raw materials before mixing, and when weighing subsequent materials, the previous material automatically falls off. The structure is simple and the measurement is accurate.

One end of the feeding pipe 52 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe of the mixing chamber 412, and the other end of the feeding pipe 52 is fixedly connected to the feed port of the injection molding machine 51.
[0053] When the multi-material circulating feeding system is in normal use, the hot air blower 221 and the stirring motor 231 are started. The stirring motor 231 drives the planetary gear set 232 to run, which in turn drives the drying chamber 213, the rotating shaft 233, and the stirring shaft 236 to rotate, thereby driving the dispersing disc 234, the spiral blades 235, and the stirring blades 237 to rotate. While the drying chamber 213 rotates, its lower part moves up and down in a wave-like pattern. The drying chamber 213 drives the filter screen 214 to move up and down to prevent raw material blockage. The raw materials in the raw material silo 11 are transported to the material feed pipe 12 and the raw material inlet pipe 215. On the dispersing disc 234, the dispersing disc 234 carries and disperses the raw materials into the drying inner chamber 213. The stirring blades 237 stir the raw materials. The hot air blower 221 delivers hot air through the air inlet pipe 222 to the drying outer chamber 212 and the drying inner chamber 213 to dry the raw materials. The filter screen 214 blocks the raw materials, reduces the passage rate of the raw materials, and increases the contact time and contact area between the raw materials and the hot air. At the same time, the filter screen 214 disperses the raw materials to prevent them from accumulating. The raw materials fall through the filter screen 214 to the inner bottom of the drying outer chamber 212, where the spiral blades 235 further stir and dry the raw materials.
[0054] The dried raw materials are conveyed to the circulating conveying pipe 31 through the discharge pipe below the drying outer chamber 212. The vacuum conveyor 32 is started to convey the raw materials in the circulating conveying pipe 31. The drive motor 421 is started, which drives the rotating rod 422 and the rotating seat 423 to rotate. The rotating seat 423 pushes the baffle 433 to gradually close the bottom opening of the corresponding receiving cylinder 432. When the baffle 433 is completely closed, the baffle 433 gradually moves upward with the rotating seat 423 tilting to one side. The baffle 433 drives the receiving cylinder 432 to slide upward along the receiving frame 431. At this time, the drive motor 421 is turned off, and the weight of the receiving cylinder 432 and the baffle 433 is completely sensed by the weight sensor 424. The control valve of the corresponding mixing feed pipe 413 above is started, and the mixing feed pipe 413 above conveys the raw materials in the circulating conveying pipe 31. The raw materials are fed into the receiving cylinder 432 for weighing. After the weight sensor 424 detects the specified weight, the control valve of the mixing feed pipe 413 is closed. The drive motor 421 is started to drive the rotating seat 423 to continue rotating. When the rotating seat 423 disengages from the baffle 433, the baffle 433 opens, and the raw materials in the receiving cylinder 432 fall to the bottom of the mixing chamber 412. The above steps are repeated to complete the weighing and mixing of multiple raw materials. At the same time, the rotating rod 422 drives the paddle 426 to rotate. The paddle 426 moves the baffle 433 in the open state to make the baffle 433 shake, so as to avoid the raw materials sticking to the baffle 433. The mixed raw materials are transported to the injection molding machine 51 through the feeding pipe 52 for injection molding. The unused raw materials in the circulating conveying pipe 31 return to the bottom of the drying outer chamber 212 through the circulating conveying pipe 31 and the circulating feed pipe 216 to enter the subsequent circulating supply.
[0055] The separation of raw materials by the outer drying chamber 212 and the inner drying chamber 213 ensures the drying effect and improves product quality. The dispersion plate 234 disperses the incoming raw materials around the inner drying chamber 213, preventing accumulation and improving the drying effect. Air is supplied simultaneously from both sides of the outer drying chamber 212 through the air inlet pipe 222, preventing the hot air from being too concentrated and causing some raw materials to overheat while others remain undried. The rotating seat 423 allows the weight sensor 424 to lift the corresponding receiving cylinder 432 for weighing when a specific raw material is required, ensuring accurate measurement. When weighing the next raw material, the previous raw material will automatically fall to the bottom of the mixing chamber 412 for mixing. The paddle 426 and torsion spring 427 allow the open baffle 433 to be moved during weighing, preventing raw materials from sticking together and ensuring the accuracy of raw material weighing.
