Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machines, specifically a feeding mechanism for injection molding machines. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines, are used to make various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molds. According to their structure, they are divided into horizontal, vertical, etc. For horizontal injection molding machines, when feeding them, the material usually needs to be lifted to the top of the feeding hopper and then added into the feeding hopper. Then, the material is fed into the injection molding machine through the feeding hopper for injection molding.

[0003] However, since the feeding hopper is usually located at a high position, the material must first be transported to a high place and then manually added into the feeding hopper, which is somewhat dangerous. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for injection molding machines, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine, comprising a feeding mechanism including: a support base and a lifting guide rail. A steering base is installed at the lower end of the lifting guide rail. A locking tooth is installed in a circular array on the outer side wall of the steering base. An embedded groove is opened on the upper surface of the support base directly below the steering base. A jack is provided below the support base. A hydraulic rod is installed at the upper end of the jack. A rotating bearing is installed at the upper end of the hydraulic rod on the lower surface of the steering base. A foot pedal is installed on one side of the jack.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a reciprocating lead screw is installed inside the lifting guide rail, and a movable slider is installed on the outer side of the reciprocating lead screw on the side surface of the lifting guide rail, and a feeding bucket is provided inside the movable slider.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a drive motor is installed at the upper end of the reciprocating lead screw on the upper surface of the lifting guide rail.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the steering base is engaged with the inner groove by the locking teeth.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the steering base is rotatably connected to the hydraulic rod via the rotating bearing.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the movable slider is engaged and movably connected with the reciprocating lead screw, and the lifting guide rail is fixedly connected with the steering base.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the jack is fixedly connected to the support base.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a movable roller is installed at the lower end of the support base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By driving the drive motor to rotate the reciprocating screw, the lower end of the feeding hopper is raised above the top of the injection molding machine's hopper. Then, by controlling the lifting guide rail and the steering base to rotate the upper end of the hydraulic rod using the rotating bearing, the entire feeding hopper is turned to face the injection molding machine's feeding hopper for material feeding.

[0015] When the steering base is positioned inside the recessed groove using locking teeth, it is possible to control the lifting and lowering of the feeding bucket to ensure that it does not shake and to guarantee stability during lifting. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine, including a feeding mechanism 1. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a support base 2 and a lifting guide rail 3. A steering base 4 is installed at the lower end of the lifting guide rail 3. A locking tooth 401 is installed in a ring array on the outer side wall of the steering base 4. An embedded groove 201 is opened on the upper surface of the support base 2 directly below the steering base 4. The steering base 4 is engaged with the embedded groove 201 through the locking tooth 401. A jack 7 is provided below the support base 2. The jack 7 is fixedly connected to the support base 2. A hydraulic rod 702 is installed at the upper end of the jack 7. A rotating bearing 703 is installed at the upper end of the hydraulic rod 702 on the lower surface of the steering base 4. The steering base 4 is rotatably connected to the hydraulic rod 702 through the rotating bearing 703. A foot pedal 701 is installed on one side of the jack 7.

[0024] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a reciprocating screw 301 is installed inside the lifting guide rail 3, and a movable slider 5 is installed on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 301 on the side surface of the lifting guide rail 3. The movable slider 5 is engaged and movably connected with the reciprocating screw 301. The lifting guide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the steering base 4. A feeding bucket 6 is provided inside the movable slider 5. A drive motor 8 is installed at the upper end of the reciprocating screw 301 on the upper surface of the lifting guide rail 3, and a movable roller is installed at the lower end of the support base 2.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the feeding mechanism 1 is pushed and placed on one side of the feeding funnel of the injection molding machine. After the raw material to be injected is placed into the filling barrel 6, the drive motor 8 drives the reciprocating screw 301 to rotate. The moving slider 5 rotates on the outside of the reciprocating screw 301. After the moving slider 5 moves upward on the outside of the lifting guide rail 3, the lower end of the filling barrel 6 is raised above the upper end of the injection molding machine's funnel. Then, by stepping on the foot pedal 701, the hydraulic rod 702 inside the jack 7 pushes the steering base 4 upward, which in turn raises the lifting guide rail 3. The steering base 4, which is embedded in the inner groove 201, is raised to a position higher than the upper surface of the support base 2. Then, by controlling the lifting guide rail 3 and the steering base 4 to rotate on the upper end of the hydraulic rod 702 using the rotating bearing 703, the filling barrel 6 is turned towards the feeding funnel of the injection molding machine for feeding.
