The graded screw is a screw with a long compression section (i.e., a melting section), characterized by a relatively gentle energy conversion during plasticization. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the compression section L2 is long, and the depth of the screw groove in this section gradually becomes shallow from deep, and the energy conversion during plasticizing is relatively moderate. It is suitable for processing plastics with a wide melt temperature range, as such plastics require sufficient plasticizing process to melt completely. Gradient type screw is suitable for processing such as PS, PVC and other non-crystalline plastics with wide softening temperature range and high viscosity. Mutant screw is a kind of screw with small compression section, which is characterized by intense energy conversion during plasticizing. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the compression section L2 is short, and the depth of the screw groove in this section changes sharply from deep to shallow, and the energy conversion during plasticizing is relatively intense. Suitable for processing plastics with a narrow melt temperature range, because such plastics can be softened and melted in a short time as long as they have been preheated enough to reach the melting point. Mutant screw is suitable for processing polyamide and polyolefin crystalline plastics. The compression length of the universal screw is between the gradient screw and the mutant screw. In order to avoid the production of different types of plastic materials to replace the screw, usually choose universal screw, at this time as long as the appropriate adjustment of the process parameters (such as cylinder temperature, screw speed and back pressure, etc.), can also meet the molding requirements of different plastic materials. As shown in Figure 7 (C), the length of compression section L2 is generally 4 to 5 pitch lengths. At the same time, it is suitable for the processing of both crystalline and non-crystalline plastics, considering not only the non-crystalline materials can not withstand the excessive shear plasticization of the mutant screw in the compression section, but also the technological characteristics of the crystalline materials that need enough preheating to soften and melt. In order to avoid degradation of glue due to local overheating, it is necessary to cool and control the temperature of screw in production. At the beginning of injection molding machine manufacturing, most of the screw center hole into the flow of mineral oil for cooling; The heat pipe is now commonly used to cool the screw, which is characterized by the placement of a capillary suction core permeating the working liquid in the inner wall of the screw or the opening of a special oil tank. When the heat pipe works, the evaporation section of the heat pipe located in the metering section of the screw is heated, and the medium enclosed in it sublimates into steam and constantly flows back from the evaporation section to the condenser section of the heat pipe located in the plasticizing section of the screw is cooled to liquid. The liquid then flows to the evaporation section through the action of the capillary, forming a circulation. The medium in the heat pipe is water, oil and some organic solvents.

The injection screw has the function of plasticizing the plastic material and injecting the melt into the mold cavity. During plasticizing, the heating of the barrel and the rotation of the screw make the rubber material change from solid to viscous flow melt in the process of forward transportation; During injection, the screw moves forward to inject the melt at the front of the barrel into the mold cavity. The structure and working characteristics of screw have great influence on the production efficiency of injection molding machine and the quality of injection molding products.

In the screw injection, for the rubber material with low viscosity, it is necessary to prevent the problems of low injection efficiency, large pressure loss and difficult pressure preservation caused by melt reflux. For the viscose material with higher viscosity, it is necessary to solve the problem of decomposition of hysteresis caused by incomplete discharge when injected, so the structure of the screw head has the form of check type screw head, prevent hysteresis decomposition type screw head and special purpose screw head.

The plastic parts of the injection molding machine are the screw and the barrel. The rubber material entering the barrel is not only heated by the barrel, but also softened by the shear heat and friction heat generated by the rotation of the screw. The injection process is completed by a screw. In the plasticization process, due to the rotation of the screw, the plastic melt not only has axial movement, but also has lateral flow and cyclotron movement. These different forms of movement greatly promote the mixing effect of the plastic melt, so that the temperature in the melt reaches a high degree of uniformity. And the screw is one side of the rotation of plasticizing and backward measurement, its plasticizing capacity is large, plasticizing quality is good. So reciprocating screw injection molding machine is widely used.

The basic requirements of injection molding are plasticizing, injection and shaping. Plasticization is the premise to realize and guarantee the quality of the molding products, and in order to meet the requirements of molding, injection must ensure that there is enough pressure and speed. At the same time, due to the high injection pressure, the corresponding high pressure in the mold cavity (the average pressure in the mold cavity is generally between 20 and 45MPa), so there must be a large enough mold closing force. It can be seen that the injection device and the mold device are the key parts of the injection molding machine.

(3) Cylinder: the cylinder is generally a whole structure, there is a certain gap between the inner hole of the cylinder and the screw, and the external heating and cooling device is installed.

1.1 Introduction to the working principle of injection molding The working principle of injection molding machine is similar to that of syringe infusion. It uses the thrust of screw (or plunger) to inject the plastic that has been plasticized into the closed injection mold cavity at high pressure and high speed. After cooling and curing, plastic products with the shape of the mold cavity are obtained. Injection molding is a cyclic process, each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding a melting plasticizing a pressure injection a filling cooling a mold lifting parts. After removing the plastic part, the mold is closed again and the next cycle is carried out.
