Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, specifically a feeding device for an injection molding machine, and belongs to the field of injection molding machine technology. Background Technology

[0002] An injection molding machine is a device that melts materials such as plastic by heating them, and then injects them into a mold cavity under high pressure to achieve molding. Its structure mainly consists of an injection unit, a heating component, a mold mechanism, and a control unit.

[0003] During the injection molding process, plastic granules need to be melted in a high-temperature environment and injected into the mold under pressure. Therefore, a continuous supply of materials is necessary to ensure that the equipment has sufficient raw materials to maintain continuous molding operations and thus complete the production of plastic products.

[0004] In existing technologies, material feeding is often done manually. Manual feeding typically requires the operator to manually pour plastic granules from the raw material bag into the injection molding machine's barrel. Since the barrel is usually quite tall, the operator needs to climb to reach it, which is laborious. While a screw conveyor can be used for feeding, it's difficult to determine whether the material in the injection molding machine's barrel has reached the set capacity using a screw conveyor. Therefore, this paper proposes a feeding device for injection molding machines. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a feeding device for injection molding machines, which can quantitatively feed material to ensure that the material in the injection molding machine barrel reaches the set capacity, thus avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a feeding device for an injection molding machine, including an installation component, the installation component including a fixed cylinder, the fixed cylinder serving as the basic installation carrier of the device, used to fix and support other components, the bottom surface of the fixed cylinder having multiple support legs fixed thereon, the support legs being used to support the entire device, the bottom surface of the fixed cylinder having a discharge hopper, the discharge hopper serving as the end component for material output, receiving the material discharged from the metering cylinder, and guiding the material to be concentratedly transported into the injection molding machine barrel.

[0007] It also includes a storage component, which is mounted on the mounting component. The storage component includes a storage hopper and a connecting box. The connecting box is connected to the storage hopper and to the fixed cylinder. The connecting box is used to temporarily store materials, providing a certain volume of storage space and reducing the frequency of adding materials to the storage hopper. The connecting box is used to connect the storage hopper and the fixed cylinder.

[0008] It also includes a quantitative feeding mechanism, which is mounted on the mounting component. The quantitative feeding mechanism includes a control plate and a metering cylinder, which are mounted on the mounting component. The control plate has a feeding port. The quantitative feeding mechanism also includes a reinforcing plate, which is fixed between the metering cylinder and the control plate. There are two reinforcing plates.

[0009] The metering cylinder is fixed with a guide post, and the metering feeding mechanism also includes a guide groove formed on the fixed cylinder. The guide post is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder through the guide groove. When the metering cylinder moves, it will also drive the guide post to move on the guide groove, thus playing a guiding role through the guide post and the guide groove.

[0010] The quantitative feeding mechanism also includes a driving component, which is mounted on the mounting component. The driving component is used to drive the quantitative cylinder to move. The driving component includes a mounting plate and an electric push rod. The mounting plate is fixed on the fixed cylinder, and the electric push rod is mounted on the mounting plate. When the electric push rod is started, the output end of the electric push rod will drive the quantitative cylinder to move.

[0011] A guide rod is fixed on the metering cylinder, and a guide hole is provided on the mounting plate. The guide rod is slidably connected to the mounting plate through the guide hole. When the metering cylinder moves, it will also drive the guide rod to move on the guide hole, thus playing a guiding role through the guide rod and the guide hole.

[0012] This utility model provides a feeding device for an injection molding machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The material stored inside the hopper of the feeding device for injection molding machines can flow into the metering cylinder through the connecting box. When it is necessary to feed the injection molding machine cylinder, the metering cylinder and the feeding port are moved in the fixed cylinder by the electric push rod. This causes the bottom of the metering cylinder to gradually approach the discharge hopper, while the feeding port gradually moves away from the bottom of the connecting box. When the bottom of the connecting box is sealed by the material control plate, the bottom of the metering cylinder and the discharge hopper are in a connected state. The material in the metering cylinder flows out through the discharge hopper, thereby realizing quantitative feeding and ensuring that the material in the injection molding machine cylinder reaches the set capacity, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding.

The bottom surface of the fixed cylinder 101 is provided with a discharge hopper 103. The discharge hopper 103 serves as the end component for material output, receiving the material discharged from the metering cylinder 302 and guiding the material to be concentrated and transported into the injection molding machine barrel.

[0027] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a quantitative feeding mechanism 3, which is mounted on the mounting component 1. The quantitative feeding mechanism 3 includes a control plate 301 and a metering cylinder 302. The control plate 301 and the metering cylinder 302 are mounted on the mounting component 1 and are slidably connected in a sealed manner within the fixed cylinder 101.

There are two reinforcing plates 304.

[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The metering cylinder 302 is fixed with a guide column 310. The metering feeding mechanism 3 also includes a guide groove 309 opened on the fixed cylinder 101. The guide column 310 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 101 through the guide groove 309. When the metering cylinder 302 moves, it will also drive the guide column 310 to move on the guide groove 309. The guide column 310 and the guide groove 309 play a guiding role.

[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 The quantitative feeding mechanism 3 also includes a driving component, which is mounted on the mounting component 1. The driving component is used to drive the quantitative cylinder 302 to move. The driving component includes a mounting plate 305 and an electric push rod 306.

[0031] Working principle: When feeding material, the electric push rod 306 is first activated, which pushes the metering cylinder 302 and the feeding port 303 to move within the fixed cylinder 101. The metering cylinder 302 will carry the material inside it within the fixed cylinder 101. During this process, the bottom of the metering cylinder 302 gradually approaches the discharge hopper 103, while the feeding port 303 gradually moves away from the bottom of the connecting box 202. When the bottom of the connecting box 202 is sealed by the control plate 301, the bottom of the metering cylinder 302 and the discharge hopper 103 are in a connected state. The material in the metering cylinder 302 flows out through the discharge hopper 103, thereby achieving quantitative feeding and ensuring that the material in the injection molding machine barrel reaches the set capacity, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding.
