Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a screw for PET preforms, including a shaft 1. The discharge end of the shaft 1 has a mixing section 6. The mixing section 6 has inclined concave grooves 10 and convex grooves 11, which are alternately arranged and inclined in the same direction. The concave groove has several material passing areas, with the first material passing area gradually decreasing in cross-sectional area, the second material passing area gradually increasing in cross-sectional area, and so on. The convex groove 11 also has several material passing areas, with the first material passing area gradually increasing in cross-sectional area, the second material passing area gradually decreasing in cross-sectional area, and so on. The material passing areas of the concave groove 10 and convex groove 11 correspond one-to-one and alternate with each other. In the first material passing area of ​​the concave groove 10, the plastic material gradually changes from deep at the mixing end to shallow in the middle of the mixing process. In the second section of the material conveying zone 10, the material gradually changes from light in the middle to dark at the other end. In the first section of the material conveying zone 11 of the convex groove, the plastic material gradually changes from light at the mixing end to dark in the middle. In the second section of the material conveying zone 11 of the convex groove, the material gradually changes from dark in the middle to light at the other end. When the molten plastic enters the mixing section 6, the plastic material will be continuously squeezed forward through the concave groove 10, overflowing over the mixing surface and being squeezed into the convex groove 11. It will be continuously squeezed forward from the convex groove 11, overflowing over the mixing surface and being squeezed into the concave groove 10. The above process is repeated to shear and plasticize the plastic to achieve the purpose of high plasticization. Several sets of inclined groove rings 9 are closely connected to the concave groove 10 and the convex groove 11 to prevent slow discharge and multiple shearing of plastic. This helps to increase the heat generated by the plastic during screw conveying, which can reduce temperature changes and improve the occurrence of phenomena such as bubbles, yellowing, and silver streaks in plastic products.

[0031] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet of both the concave groove 10 and the convex groove 11 are chamfered to reduce blockage at the inlet and outlet, allowing the plastic material to enter the concave groove 10 and the convex groove 11 more smoothly and flow inward along the bevel of the chamfer, reducing the friction caused by the right angle and ensuring that the plastic material can enter continuously and smoothly.

[0032] Further, the mixing section 6 is also provided with several chute rings 9 located at the discharge end of the mixing section 6;

[0033] Further, the rod body 1 is also provided with a connecting section 2, a feeding section 3, a compression section 4, and a wave section 5 located at the right side of the mixing section 6. The wave section 5 has screw threads, the bottom diameter of which is divided into two parts within one lead, and the convex high points correspond to the lowest points of the other part. The wave section 5 is arranged in a staggered manner to form a wave-shaped bottom diameter change. The wave section 5 is uniformly provided with several side grooves 8 on the outer side of the circumference. The wave structure of the bottom diameter continuously shears and transports the plastic. The wave section 5 is provided with several side grooves 8 to increase the flow direction of the plastic and generate more shear heat. The glass state plastic is repeatedly sheared at this position to absorb a large amount of heat and further plasticize to reach a nearly fully plasticized state.

[0034] Further, the compression section 4 is located at the right side of the wave section 5. The screw threads of the compression section 4 are all inverted and blunt, and the bottom diameter gradually changes. The compression section 4 transports the plastic to the wave section 5. The inverted and blunt screw threads reduce the adhesion of the molten plastic.

[0035] Further, the feeding section 3 is located at the right side of the compression section 4. The screw threads of the feeding section 3 have an equal depth and a gradually changing outer diameter. The feeding section 3 transports the plastic to the compression section 4. The plastic in the mixed state of solid and molten state is transported in the feeding section 3. The gradually changing outer diameter improves the transportation efficiency of the mixed state.

[0036] Further, the connecting section 2 is located at the right side of the feeding section 3. The outer side of the connecting section 2 is provided with two groups of opposite connecting grooves 7. One end of the rod body 1 is internally provided with a limiting hole 12. The screw rod is integrally installed in the injection molding machine through the limiting hole 12, the connecting end, and the two groups of opposite connecting grooves 7 to realize the rotation of the screw rod.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] In use, the device is installed inside the injection molding machine through the limiting hole 12, the connecting end, and two sets of connecting grooves 7. The injection molding machine drives the connecting section 2, feeding section 3, compression section 4, corrugated section 5, and mixing section 6 on the rod body 1 to rotate. Among them, the feeding section 3 and compression section 4 convey the plasticized plastic. The bottom diameter depth of the corrugated section 5 is processed in an alternating manner, which repeatedly stirs, shears, and extrudes the glassy plastic, fully expelling the gas in the plastic to the outside. Due to the large length-to-diameter ratio, the gas generated in the plastic is fully expelled to the outside, ensuring the uniformity of plasticization. Several side grooves 8 are evenly milled around the circumference of the corrugated section 5 to ensure that the plastic material is within the guide. The flow is smoother in the mixing section, reducing excessive compression. Then, the molten plastic enters the mixing section 6. The staggered concave grooves 10 and convex grooves 11 cause the plastic material to be continuously squeezed forward as it passes through the concave grooves 10. It overflows over the mixing surface and is squeezed into the convex grooves 11. It is continuously squeezed forward from the convex grooves 11 and overflows over the mixing surface and is squeezed into the concave grooves 10, which shears and plasticizes the plastic, improving the mixing effect during the plasticizing process. The inclined groove ring 9 is immediately connected to the concave grooves 10 and convex grooves 11 to prevent slow discharge and multiple shearing of the plastic. It helps to increase the heat generated by the plastic during screw conveying, which can reduce temperature changes and improve the occurrence of phenomena such as bubbles, yellowing, and silver streaks in plastic products.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figures 8-10 As shown, when there are multiple sets of material passing zones in the concave groove 10 and convex groove 11 of the mixing section 6, the molten plastic enters the mixing section 6. The plastic material will be continuously squeezed forward through the first material passing zone of the concave groove 10, overflowing through the mixing surface and being squeezed into the first material passing zone of the convex groove 11. Then, it will continue to be squeezed forward from the second material passing zone of the convex groove 11, overflowing through the mixing surface and being squeezed into the second material passing zone of the concave groove 10. Then, it will be continuously squeezed forward again through the third material passing zone of the concave groove 10, overflowing through the mixing surface and being squeezed into the third material passing zone of the convex groove 11. Finally, it will continue to be squeezed forward from the fourth material passing zone of the convex groove 11, overflowing through the mixing surface and being squeezed into the fourth material passing zone of the concave groove 10.

The various components mentioned in this utility model are common technologies in the existing field. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
