Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding technology, and in particular to a plastic drying device for injection molding. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding is a highly efficient molding technology widely used in manufacturing. Its core process involves injecting molten plastic particles into a mold, which then cools and solidifies to obtain a product of the desired shape. Before injection molding, the plastic particles need to be dried to remove any moisture.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN218111365U discloses a drying device for processing plastic particles. However, this device has the following shortcomings in use:

[0004] 1. Some plastics (such as PVC, PE, etc.) are prone to producing a pungent odor when heated and dried. Direct discharge can easily affect the surrounding working environment, thus limiting their use.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a plastic drying device for injection molding. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where some plastics (such as PVC and PE) easily produce pungent odors during heating and drying, and direct discharge can easily affect the surrounding working environment, thus limiting their use. Therefore, this invention proposes a plastic drying device for injection molding.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A plastic drying device for injection molding, comprising:

[0009] The base has a housing rotatably connected to its top. The housing has a discharge port on one side and a feed hopper fixedly installed on the other side. A sealing cover is hinged to the top of the feed hopper.

[0010] Two mounting plates are fixedly disposed inside the housing, and a rotating cylinder with through holes is rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates. Multiple heating tubes are also fixedly mounted between the two mounting plates.

[0011] The ventilation system includes a vent pipe fixedly installed through the side wall of the housing, a filter box fixedly installed on the top of the housing, and a fan. The vent pipe is equipped with a one-way valve. The fan is connected to the filter box through a pipe. The filter box is connected to the top and side of the housing through a first hose and a second hose, respectively.

[0012] The stirring mechanism is located inside the rotating drum;

[0013] The drive mechanism is located on the outside of the housing and is connected to the rotating drum drive.

[0014] The sealing mechanism is slidably installed at the discharge port.

[0015] In one possible design, the stirring mechanism includes a first motor and a first rotating shaft that extends laterally through the housing. The outer wall of the first rotating shaft is provided with multiple stirring racks. The first motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing and its output shaft is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft.

[0016] In one possible design, the drive mechanism includes a gear ring fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the rotating drum and a second motor fixedly mounted on the outside of the housing, wherein the output end of the second motor is connected to a gear that meshes with the gear ring.

[0017] In one possible design, the sealing mechanism includes a mounting bracket located outside the discharge port, a baffle slidably disposed within the mounting bracket, and an adjusting screw threaded through the mounting bracket, the end of which is rotatably connected to the baffle.

[0018] In one possible design, the filter box has four staggered grids, with a first filter box and a second filter box inserted between adjacent grids. The first filter box is filled with silica gel desiccant, and the second filter box is filled with activated carbon blocks. The top of the filter box is hinged with a sealing cap.

[0019] In one possible design, hydraulic cylinders are hinged between the two sides of the housing and the base via mounting seats, and the telescopic ends of the hydraulic cylinders are in active contact with the bottom of the housing.

[0020] In this application, during use, plastic particles are fed into the rotating drum from the feed hopper and the feed hopper is closed. Then, the first motor is started to drive the first rotating shaft and the stirring frame to rotate, stirring the plastic particles. Then, the second motor is started, and under the action of gears and gear rings, it drives the rotating drum to rotate, causing the plastic particles to tumble. Then, the heating tube is started to heat and dry the plastic particles. Then, the fan is started, and under the action of the one-way valve, the gas enters the shell from the outside in one direction, and enters the filter box through the first hose and the second hose. Silica gel desiccant absorbs moisture, and activated carbon blocks absorb odor gases to ensure the quality of the emitted gas. After drying, the operator manually rotates the screw, which drives the baffle to disengage from the discharge port. Then, the hydraulic rod is started to drive the shell to rotate, so that the plastic particles flow along the rotating drum and out of the discharge port, falling into the pre-prepared collection device.

[0021] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the plastic drying device for injection molding can absorb and filter the extracted moisture and pungent gases through the arrangement of multiple structures such as filter box, first filter box and second filter box, so as to avoid the emission into the air and affect the workers.

[0022] In this utility model, the plastic drying device for injection molding, through the arrangement of multiple structures such as a rotating drum, a first rotating shaft and a stirring rack, can drive the plastic particles to tumble and stir, thus ensuring the quality of drying;

[0023] In this invention, the extracted moisture and pungent gases can be absorbed and filtered to prevent them from being released into the air and affecting workers. It can also cause the plastic particles to tumble and be stirred, ensuring the quality of drying. Attached Figure Description
