[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0018] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a raw material feeding device for an injection molding machine includes a melting tank 1, an injection molding mechanism 2 movably installed on the lower side of the melting tank 1, a tank cover 3 fixedly connected to the upper side of the melting tank 1, a stirring mechanism 4 movably installed in the middle of the upper side of the tank cover 3, and two sealing mechanisms 5 fixedly connected to the upper side of the tank cover 3. A material conveying mechanism 6 is provided on the upper side of each of the two sealing mechanisms 5. The sealing mechanism 5 includes a first motor 51, the lower side of which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the barrel lid 3. The output end of the first motor 51 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 52. The inner side of the rotating plate 52 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 53. The inner side of one of the connecting pipes 53 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 54. The inner side of the fixing frame 54 is fixedly connected to a first telescopic rod 55. The lower side of the first telescopic rod 55 is fixedly connected to a sealing plate 56. The upper side of the barrel lid 3 is fixedly connected to a feed pipe 57.
[0019] It should be noted that the melting tank 1, the injection molding mechanism 2, and the stirring mechanism 4 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The first motor 51 drives the rotating plate 52 to rotate, so that the two connecting pipes 53 alternately move to the upper side of the feed pipe 57 to connect the mechanism pipe 62 and the feed pipe 57. The first telescopic rod 55 is an electric push rod. When the connecting pipe 53 containing the fixing frame 54 moves to the feed pipe 57, the first telescopic rod 55 drives the sealing plate 56 to move up and down, thereby sealing the feed pipe 57.
[0020] like Figure 5 As shown, a rubber sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing plate 56.
[0021] It should be noted that the rubber sleeve is used to seal the gap between the sealing plate 56 and the feed tube 57. The injection molding temperature of PP material is 200℃-300℃. Some high-temperature resistant rubbers can work in this environment, such as borosilicate rubber.
[0022] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the feed pipe 57 is inverted conical.
[0023] It should be noted that the inner shape of the feed tube 57 avoids the problem of significant wear between the rubber sleeve outside the sealing plate 56 and the feed tube 57 before the outer side of the sealing plate 56 and the inner side of the feed tube 57 are fully fitted together.
[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the material conveying mechanism 6 includes a storage hopper 61. A mechanism tube 62 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the storage hopper 61. Two rotating frames 63, distributed vertically, are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mechanism tube 62. An auger 64 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating frame 63. A transmission rod 67 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the auger 64. A second motor 65 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the storage hopper 61. A transmission tube 66 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 65. The outer side of the transmission rod 67 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the transmission tube 66.
[0025] It should be noted that the second motor 65 drives the transmission tube 66 to rotate, and when the transmission tube 66 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 67 to rotate. When the transmission rod 67 rotates, it drives the auger 64 to rotate. When the auger 64 rotates, it conveys the material in the storage hopper 61 downward. The transmission rod 67 is hexagonal in shape, and the inner wall of the transmission tube 66 is in close contact with the outer surface of the transmission rod 67, so that the transmission rod 67 can move up and down in the transmission tube 66 while being driven to rotate by the transmission tube 66.
[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a second telescopic rod 610 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the storage hopper 61 near the right side. A lifting plate 69 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second telescopic rod 610. A rotating sleeve 68 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the lifting plate 69. The inner side of the rotating sleeve 68 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission rod 67. A sealing platform 611 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission rod 67. Several ring-shaped sealing blocks 612 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mechanism tube 62.
[0027] It should be noted that the second telescopic rod 610 is an electric push rod that can drive the transmission rod 67 to move up and down. When the transmission rod 67 is at the uppermost position, the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 are interlocked to seal the bottom of the mechanism tube 62, further preventing particles from falling. When the transmission rod 67 is at the lowermost position, the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 are separated, allowing the material to fall. The switching seal adopted at the sealing mechanism 5 is to prevent the heat inside the melting tank 1 from being transferred to the outside. The interlocking seal between the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 is to avoid the problem of material falling due to the auger 64 being unable to completely seal the bottom of the mechanism tube 62 due to vibration or other reasons. This part of the material may fall onto the sealing plate 56. During the movement of the sealing plate, heat may be transferred, and it may melt on the sealing plate 56, making it difficult to clean.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the transmission rod 67 is provided with a wear-resistant layer.
[0029] It should be noted that the wear-resistant layer prevents particles from wearing down the transmission rod 67, which would cause a large gap between the auger 64 and the transmission rod 67. The wear-resistant layer can be a Teflon coating or a ceramic coating.
[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the feed pipe 57, sealing plate 56, sealing platform 611 and sealing block 612 are all made of heat-insulating material.
[0031] It should be noted that the heat insulation material prevents the heat inside the melting tank 1 from being transferred to the outside of these components, thus allowing the material to melt on it. At the same time, the mechanism tube 62 can be made of a high thermal conductivity material, and its outside is equipped with a spiral tube-type cooling device to further prevent the internal temperature of the mechanism tube 62 from rising during material feeding.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the first motor 51 drives the rotating plate 52 to rotate, causing the two connecting pipes 53 to alternately move to the upper side of the feed pipe 57, connecting the mechanism pipe 62 and the feed pipe 57. The first telescopic rod 55 is an electric push rod. When the connecting pipe 53 containing the fixing frame 54 moves onto the feed pipe 57, the first telescopic rod 55 drives the sealing plate 56 to move up and down, thereby closing the feed pipe 57. The first motor 51 drives the rotating plate 52 to rotate, thereby switching the two connecting pipes 53, and then making the feed pipe 57 open or closed, so as to facilitate the feeding mechanism 6 to feed material into the melting tank 1 without directly lifting the injection molding mechanism 2. The operation is convenient and quick, improving the material feeding efficiency. Finally, the second motor 65 drives the transmission pipe 66 to rotate, and when the transmission pipe 66 rotates, it drives the transmission rod 67 to rotate. When the transmission rod 67 rotates, it drives the auger 64 to rotate. When the auger 64 rotates, it conveys the material in the storage hopper 61 downwards. The second telescopic rod 610 is an electric push rod that can drive the transmission rod 67 to move up and down. When the transmission rod 67 is at the uppermost position, the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 are interlocked to seal the bottom of the mechanism tube 62, further preventing particles from falling. When the transmission rod 67 is at the lowermost position, the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 are separated, allowing the material to fall. The second motor 65 drives the auger 64 to rotate, making the feeding stable. The interlocking of the sealing platform 611 and the sealing block 612 can seal the bottom of the mechanism tube 62, thus enabling the stable feeding of various materials, such as plastic particles and colored particles, and keeping the proportion of each material fed as constant as possible.
