AI Technical Summary
The existing heating mechanism for injection molding of PET plastic preforms has uneven temperature during the heating process, which causes some raw materials to overheat and decompose before reaching the appropriate temperature, affecting the quality of the preform and causing uneven wall thickness.
The mixing tank employs a stirring device and a circulating heating system. The mixing bar is rotated by a motor-driven gear and chain transmission. Combined with the circulating heating method of the heating box and water pump, this ensures that the plastic raw material is heated evenly in the heating chamber and realizes the recycling of heating water.
This achieves uniform heating of plastic raw materials within the heating chamber, avoiding localized overheating or undercooling, thus improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing energy consumption.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding raw material processing technology, and in particular to a heating mechanism for injection molding of PET plastic bottle preforms. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic preforms are semi-finished products produced through injection molding. They are typically hollow cylinders closed at one end and threaded at the other, forming the basis for subsequent blow molding of plastic bottles. Their existence allows for phased plastic bottle production, with preforms first mass-produced and then rapidly blow-molded at different locations and times as needed, improving production flexibility and efficiency. They possess high strength and rigidity, good chemical resistance, and are commonly used for packaging detergents, cleaning agents, and pharmaceuticals. They also exhibit good heat resistance, flexural fatigue resistance, and chemical stability, making them suitable for manufacturing preforms for plastic bottles requiring high temperatures or special performance characteristics, such as certain food packaging bottles and pharmaceutical bottles. Therefore, a heating mechanism for PET plastic preform injection molding is necessary to facilitate the injection molding process.
[0003] Currently available heating mechanisms for plastic preform injection molding mainly consist of heating elements, stirring devices, and drive structures. These mechanisms play a crucial role in the injection molding process of these food packaging plastic preforms, ensuring the stability of the plastic raw material's performance through precise temperature control. This allows the produced preforms to effectively protect food from spoilage and leakage. However, heating the plastic raw material to the appropriate injection temperature takes a long time, reducing production efficiency and increasing energy consumption. To address these issues, existing technologies only increase the power density of the heating elements and select more efficient heating elements, without improving the uniform heating structure. This results in significant temperature differences in the plastic raw material at different locations within the heating chamber, causing some materials to fail to reach the appropriate injection temperature while others may overheat and decompose, affecting the quality of the preforms and leading to uneven wall thickness, surface defects, and failure to meet usage requirements.
