Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molding machine technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine for plastic products. Background Technology
[0002] Injection molding machines are machines that heat and melt thermoplastic or solid plastics and inject them into specific shapes. Injection molding machines are very common in the production of plastic products. Existing injection molding machines mainly include a feeding structure, a heating structure, a pushing structure, and a molding structure. Thermoplastic or solid plastics enter the injection molding machine through the feeding structure and are then pushed into the molding structure by the pushing structure. At the same time, the heating structure heats the thermoplastic or solid plastics into a liquid state, and the pushing structure pushes the liquid plastic into the molding structure, causing the liquid plastic to flow into a specific shape. Then the liquid plastic cools and solidifies, completing the production process.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN222712682U discloses a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine and an injection molding machine. The injection molding machine body has a feeding mechanism installed at the inlet of the injection molding machine body, including a funnel, a storage tank rotatably connected above the funnel, and a support frame located outside the funnel and the storage tank. The funnel is connected to the inlet of the injection molding machine, and the storage tank is connected to the funnel. Multiple stirring plates are arranged inside the storage tank. A motor that drives the storage tank to rotate is arranged on the support frame and is connected to the storage tank. This achieves the effect of preventing the raw material of the injection molding machine from clogging the inlet of the injection molding machine. A filter screen for filtering dust is arranged in the vent, and an activated carbon layer for absorbing water vapor is attached to the filter screen.
[0004] The shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing technical solutions are: the activated carbon layer is attached to the filter screen, making it inconvenient to clean the dust on the filter screen during use, and also inconvenient to replace the activated carbon layer. The maintenance process is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine for plastic products, thereby resolving the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine for plastic products is provided, comprising:
[0007] A mixing tank is provided with a feeding hopper at the lower end and a cover plate mechanism at the upper end. The cover plate mechanism includes a cover plate body, a feeding pipe is embedded and fixedly connected through the cover plate body, and a ventilation groove is opened through the cover plate body.
[0008] The ventilation mechanism includes a ventilation sleeve fitted inside a ventilation channel. A limiting slide is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation sleeve, and the limiting slide is arranged along the axial direction of the ventilation sleeve. A filter sleeve filled with activated carbon is installed inside the ventilation sleeve. A limiting groove is opened on the side end face of the filter sleeve, and the limiting slide is fitted inside the limiting groove. A mesh bag is installed at the opening of the ventilation sleeve inside the mixing tank. The mesh bag is a bowl-shaped protective net. A dustproof net is snapped into the opening of the ventilation sleeve outside the mixing tank. The cross-sectional area of the limiting slide gradually increases from the end near the dustproof net to the end near the mesh bag.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the ventilation sleeve opening is symmetrically provided with fixing holes.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a snap-fit post corresponding to the fixing hole is fixedly connected to the frame of the dustproof net, and the snap-fit post is snapped into the fixing hole.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an installation groove is provided at the opening of the ventilation channel, and the installation groove is distributed around the edge of the opening of the ventilation channel.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom surface of the mounting groove is provided with a number of connecting holes, which are symmetrically arranged around the ventilation groove.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an installation ring is fitted and fixedly connected to the outer side of the ventilation sleeve, and an installation through hole corresponding to a plurality of connection holes is opened through the installation ring. A connecting screw is provided on the installation ring, and the connecting screw passes through the installation through hole and is threadedly connected to the connection hole.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the end face of the mounting ring near the mounting groove.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention ensures that the air entering the device is clean and dry through a ventilation mechanism, dustproof net, and filter sleeve, preventing dust in the air from contaminating the raw materials. The ventilation mechanism ensures that the internal air pressure of the device is balanced with the external air pressure, making the material conveying process smoother. The cross-sectional area of the limiting slide bar gradually increases from the end near the dustproof net to the end near the net bag, so that the cross-sectional area of the limiting slide bar end near the dustproof net is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the limiting slide groove, and the cross-sectional area of the limiting slide bar end near the net bag is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the limiting slide groove, allowing the filter sleeve to pass through the limiting slide bar. The slot is inserted into the ventilation sleeve, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter sleeve and its replacement, thus reducing the maintenance burden of the device. A snap-fit connection between the dustproof net and the ventilation sleeve allows for easy disassembly and cleaning of the dustproof net, and facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the filter sleeve within the ventilation sleeve. The ventilation mechanism and the cover plate mechanism are fixedly installed via connecting screws, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the ventilation mechanism and the cleaning of the mesh bag on the ventilation mechanism. The bowl-shaped protective mesh bag prevents softened materials from sticking to the mesh bag, ensuring the ventilation effect of the ventilation mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for an injection molding machine for plastic products, including a mixing tank 1 and a ventilation mechanism 5. A hopper 2 is provided at the lower end of the mixing tank 1, and a cover plate mechanism 3 is provided at the upper end of the mixing tank 1. The cover plate mechanism 3 includes a cover plate body 31, on which a feeding pipe 4 is embedded and fixedly connected. A ventilation groove 32 is provided through the cover plate body 31. The ventilation mechanism 5 includes a ventilation sleeve 53, which is fitted inside the ventilation groove 32. A limiting slide 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation sleeve 53, and the limiting slide 55 is arranged along the axial direction of the ventilation sleeve 53. A filter sleeve 7 is provided inside the ventilation sleeve 53, and the filter sleeve 7 is filled with activated carbon. A limiting groove 8 is provided on the side end face of the filter sleeve 7, and the limiting slide 55 is fitted inside the limiting groove 8. Inside the chute 8, a mesh bag 57 is installed at one end of the ventilation sleeve 53 located inside the mixing tank 1. The mesh bag 57 is a bowl-shaped protective net. A dustproof net 6 is snapped into the other end of the ventilation sleeve 53 located outside the mixing tank 1. The cross-sectional area of the limiting slide bar 55 gradually increases from the end near the dustproof net 6 to the end near the mesh bag 57, so that the cross-sectional area of the end of the limiting slide bar 55 near the dustproof net 6 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the limiting chute 8, and the cross-sectional area of the end of the limiting slide bar 55 near the mesh bag 57 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the limiting chute 8. This allows the filter sleeve 7 to be snapped into the ventilation sleeve 53 through the limiting chute 8, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the filter sleeve 7 within the ventilation sleeve 53, making it easier to replace the filter sleeve 7, and reducing the maintenance burden of the device.
[0029] The ventilation sleeve 53 has symmetrically arranged and fixed holes 54 at the opening edge. The dust screen 6 has a snap-fit post corresponding to the fixed hole 54 fixedly connected to the frame. The snap-fit post is snapped into the fixed hole 54. The dust screen 6 is snapped into the ventilation sleeve 53, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the dust screen 6 and the replacement and maintenance of the filter sleeve 7 inside the ventilation sleeve 53.
[0030] An installation groove 33 is provided at the opening of the ventilation channel 32. The installation groove 33 is distributed around the opening edge of the ventilation channel 32. Several connecting holes 34 are provided on the bottom surface of the installation groove 33. The connecting holes 34 are symmetrically arranged with the ventilation channel 32 as the center. An installation ring 51 is fitted and fixedly connected to the outside of the ventilation sleeve 53. The installation ring 51 has a through hole 52 that corresponds to one of the connecting holes 34. A connecting screw is provided on the installation ring 51. The connecting screw passes through the through hole 52 and is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 34. The ventilation mechanism 5 and the cover plate mechanism 3 are fixedly installed by the connecting screw, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the ventilation mechanism 5, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the mesh bag 57 on the ventilation mechanism 5.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, a sealing ring 56 is fixedly connected to the end face of the mounting ring 51 near the mounting groove 33 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the cover plate mechanism 3 and the ventilation mechanism 5, and to ensure the air filtration effect.
[0032] Workflow:
[0033] The feed pipe will be connected to the feed pipe 4. The raw material will be conveyed through the mixing tank 1 and then through the discharge hopper 2. The mixing tank 1 can prevent blockage during the material conveying process. The ventilation mechanism 5, dustproof net 6, and filter sleeve 7 can ensure that the air entering the device is clean and dry, preventing dust in the air from contaminating the raw material. The ventilation mechanism 5 can ensure that the internal air pressure of the device is balanced with the external air pressure, making the material conveying process smoother. The cross-sectional area of the limiting slide bar 55 gradually increases from the end near the dustproof net 6 to the end near the net bag 57, so that the cross-sectional area of the end of the limiting slide bar 55 near the dustproof net 6 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the limiting slide groove 8, and the cross-sectional area of the end of the limiting slide bar 55 near the net bag 57 is slightly larger than the limiting slide groove 8. The cross-sectional area of the groove 8 allows the filter sleeve 7 to be secured within the ventilation sleeve 53 via the limiting slide groove 8, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter sleeve 7 within the ventilation sleeve 53 and reducing the maintenance burden of the device. The dustproof net 6 is connected to the ventilation sleeve 53 via a snap-fit connection, facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the dustproof net 6 and the replacement and maintenance of the filter sleeve 7 within the ventilation sleeve 53. The ventilation mechanism 5 and the cover plate mechanism 3 are fixedly installed via connecting screws, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the ventilation mechanism 5 and the cleaning of the mesh bag 57 on the ventilation mechanism 5. The mesh bag 57 is a bowl-shaped protective net that prevents softened materials from adhering to the mesh bag 57, ensuring the ventilation effect of the ventilation mechanism 5.
