ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating screw for an injection molding machine includes a heating extruder barrel in which the reciprocating screw is mounted rotatably. The barrel has an extruder head and a tail portion. A hopper is coupled with the tail portion of the barrel for feeding plastic granules into the barrel via the hopper. The screw is capable of rotating in the barrel so as to move the plastic granules from the tail portion to the extruder head, thereby melting gradually the plastic granules in the barrel to form a molten plastic material in the extruder head, and extruding the molten plastic material from the extruder head. A check valve is disposed in the extruder head to prevent return flow of the molten plastic material in the extruder head. The reciprocating screw is shaped as an eccentric screw, and has a threaded portion, which has a front end located in the extruder head of the barrel, a rear end located in the tail portion of the barrel, and an eccentric distance that increases gradually from the rear end to the front end. Accordingly, the plastic granules can be melted effectively in the barrel.
