[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 A sealed encapsulation structure for metal injection molding includes a housing 1. A main pipe 2, a branch pipe 3, and an injection tube 7 pass through the outer wall of the housing 1. A motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing 1. A lead screw 13 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 4. A piston 14 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 13. A movable groove 18 is formed in the middle of the housing 1. A second lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 18. A moving ring 16 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second lead screw 15. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the moving ring 16. A movable frame 5 is fixedly mounted at the end of the connecting rod 17. The outer walls of both the housing 1 and the movable frame 5 are fixed. The system is equipped with a second motor 6. The output shaft of the second motor 6 is fixedly fitted with a gear 12. The outer wall of the gear 12 is meshed with a gear ring 11. The outer wall of the gear ring 11 is fixedly fitted with a stirring rod 8. The inner wall of the main pipe 2 has an installation groove 21. The inner wall of the installation groove 21 is fixedly fitted with a straight rod 22. The outer wall of the straight rod 22 is sleeved with a weighing spring 23. The top of the weighing spring 23 abuts against a weighing hopper 10. The inner wall of the weighing hopper 10 is equipped with a solenoid valve 20. The bottom of the weighing hopper 10 is fixedly fitted with a guide pipe 19. The inner wall of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to a turntable 9. The outer wall of the turntable 9 has a sliding hole 24. The outer wall of the housing 1 is fixedly fitted with a controller 25.
[0021] In the above structure, the housing 1, main pipe 2, branch pipe 3, weighing hopper 10, guide pipe 19, solenoid valve 20, mounting groove 21, straight rod 22, weighing spring 23, and controller 25 are designed so that during use, the user can put the main metal material and auxiliary material into the main pipe 2 and branch pipe 3 respectively, so that the weighing hopper 10 can collect the material for weighing, thereby achieving the effect of accurate proportioning of main material and auxiliary material, and thus improving the user's accuracy in material proportioning.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment: the inner wall of the sliding hole 24 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 8, and there are several stirring rods 8, all of which are evenly distributed along the outer wall of the toothed ring 11.
[0023] In the above structure, the stirring rod 8 and the sliding hole 24 allow the user to rotate the lead screw 15 by operating the motor 6 after weighing, thereby moving the moving ring 16 towards the main pipe 2. This allows the stirring rod 8 to extend into the housing 1 and contact the main material and auxiliary material respectively. Combined with the rotatable characteristic of the turntable 9, the stirring rod 8 can stir both materials, thus improving the injection effect of the structure on metal powder. Conversely, after the stirring rod 8 returns to its original position, it seals the sliding hole 24, thereby preventing leakage when the material is discharged to the outside of the weighing hopper 10 after weighing, thus improving the sealing performance of the device.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment: the outer wall of the weighing hopper 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main pipe 2, and the internal structures of the main pipe 2 and the branch pipe 3 are the same. The end of the lead screw 15 near the toothed ring 11 is fixedly assembled to the output shaft of a motor 6, and the inner wall of the moving frame 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the motor 6.
[0025] In the above structure, the movable frame 5 and the second motor 6 are designed so that during operation, the position of the stirring rod 8 can be adjusted by one motor 6, and the other motor 6 can automatically drive the stirring rod 8 and the turntable 9 to rotate to stir the material. This makes it easier for the user to transfer the weighed material into the shell 1 and improves the mixing effect of the material, thereby improving the user's work efficiency.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment: the outer wall of the piston 14 is in close contact with the inner wall of the housing 1, and the outer wall of the gear 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the gear ring 11.
[0027] In the above structure, the gear 12 and gear ring 11 structure allows the user to rotate the gear 12 by operating another motor 6 after the mobile frame 5 is moved, thereby allowing the gear ring 11 to rotate and the stirring rod 8 to stir the material without the need for manual operation by the user, thus improving the automation of the device.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment: the controller 25 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 20, and the outer wall of the feed tube 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main tube 2.
[0029] In the above structure, the controller 25 allows the device to control the opening time of the solenoid valve 20 during the weighing process, thus eliminating the need for manual operation by the user and further improving the automation of the device and the user's accuracy in material proportioning.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment: when the outer wall of the movable ring 16 overlaps with the inner wall of the movable groove 18 near the toothed ring 11, the inner wall of the sliding hole 24 and the outer wall of the stirring rod 8 are on the same horizontal plane, and at this time the interior of the housing 1 is isolated from the outside through the stirring rod 8.
[0031] In the above structure, through the provided stirring rod 8 and sliding hole 24 structure, the user can move the stirring rod 8 until the end of the stirring rod 8 near the branch pipe 3 is flush with the inner wall of the sliding hole 24, thereby sealing the sliding hole 24 to ensure the sealing effect of the device on the powder, and thus ensuring the normal use of the device.
[0032] Working principle: After assembling the device, the user can directly put the main material and auxiliary material into the main pipe 2 and branch pipe 3 respectively. The main pipe 2 and branch pipe 3 are used for weighing. The controller 25 controls the solenoid valve 20 to open and discharge both into the housing 1, thereby achieving the effect of weighing the material and improving the user's accuracy in material proportioning. After being discharged into the housing 1, the user can use one motor 2 6 to make the stirring rod 8 contact with the material. Then, another motor 2 6 drives the stirring rod 8 and the turntable 9 to rotate to stir the main material and auxiliary material, thereby improving the device's injection effect on metal powder and its practicality.
