[0088] During the feeding process, the weighing station monitors the mass of the particles in the first container bottle and the Nth container bottle in real time; when the mass of the particles in the container approaches the set value, the control signal controls the feeding mechanism 23; when the mass of the particles in the container bottle approaches the preset threshold value, the feeding rate of the feeding mechanism 23 is reduced to compensate for the mass of the particles in the container bottle, until the mass of the particles in the container bottle reaches the set value, the feeding mechanism 23 stops feeding, the feeding is completed, and the function of the mass deviation of the core particles in each container bottle being not greater than 1% is realized; the mechanical hand tool 5 and the track disc rotating mechanism act in turn to place the container bottles containing spherical particles back onto the container conveying device 3;
[0089] After the feeding is completed, the cover plate lifting mechanism 25 is raised, the plug is separated from the bottle opening, the mechanical hand tool 5 pulls the first container bottle from the second weighing station to the conveying line (out) area and puts it into the second container bottle temporary storage area 32, the mechanical hand tool 5 puts the second container bottle to the N-1th container bottle from the track disc into the second weighing station to weigh the gross weight, and obtains the mass of the core particles in each container bottle (net weight= gross weight-tare weight);

[0091] In summary, the spherical particle automatic batch homogenization device provided by the embodiment of the present application effectively solves the problems that the existing device cannot meet the requirements of large-flux spherical particle rapid batch homogenization, and has the advantages of large flux, meeting the critical safety requirements of radioactive samples, uniform dispersion, accurate and efficient control, stable continuous operation, no particle accumulation, etc.
[0092] Secondly, the ball particle automatic batch mixing homogenization method according to the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0093] Figure 6 The flowchart of the ball particle automatic batch mixing homogenization method provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0094] As shown in the figure, the ball particle automatic batch mixing homogenization method comprises the following steps: Figure 6
[0095] The rotation speed of the rotating motor in the material distribution mechanism, the feeding times, the feeding delay, and the discharging delay are set in advance.
[0096] In step S601, the particle feeding device is used to continuously feed a preset number of ball particles to be sampled into the hopper of the homogenization device.
[0097] In step S602, the plurality of empty container bottles in the first container bottle temporary storage area are transferred to the container bottle conveying line, and the mechanical hand mechanism is used to place each empty container bottle in turn to the first weighing station to weigh the tare weight of each empty container bottle.

[0099] In step S604, the cover plate lifting mechanism is controlled to descend, and the cover plug of the cover plate lifting mechanism covers the bottle opening of each empty container bottle and enters the sleeve into the bottle opening of each empty container bottle.
[0100] In step S605, the preset number of ball particles to be sampled are distributed by the material distribution mechanism of the homogenization device, and the feeding of each empty container bottle is started.
[0101] In step S606, during the feeding process, the particle mass in the last container bottle is monitored by the first weighing station, and the particle mass in the first container bottle is monitored by the second weighing station. When the particle masses in the last container bottle and the first container bottle approach the preset threshold, the feeding mechanism of the homogenization device is controlled to reduce the compensation feeding of the particle mass in each container bottle until the particle mass in the container bottle reaches the preset mass, and the feeding of the feeding mechanism is stopped, thereby obtaining a plurality of full particle container bottles.
