Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of indigo dye extraction technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding and metering device for indigo dye extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Indigo dye is a natural organic dye primarily derived from indigo plants (such as woad and indigofera tinctoria). Its main component is indigo, and it possesses excellent coloring properties and environmental friendliness. Due to its vibrant color and high colorfastness, indigo dye is widely used in textile dyeing, food coloring, and pharmaceuticals. With increasing environmental protection requirements and growing demand for natural dyes, indigo dye extraction technology is gradually gaining attention.
[0003] In the extraction process of indigo dye, the quantitative delivery of raw materials is a crucial step in achieving production automation and ensuring stable product quality. Because indigo extract materials are characterized by uneven particle size and large variations in moisture content, traditional quantitative delivery equipment often struggles to achieve precise and continuous feeding, easily leading to quantitative errors that affect the stability and efficiency of subsequent extraction processes. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic feeding and quantitative device for indigo dye extraction to meet the need for improved automatic feeding and quantitative delivery of indigo dye. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an automatic feeding and quantitative device for the extraction of indigo dye, so as to solve the problem that traditional quantitative conveying equipment often cannot achieve accurate and continuous feeding, and is prone to quantitative errors, which affect the stability and extraction efficiency of subsequent extraction processes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and quantitative device for extracting indigo dye, comprising a support frame, a conveyor frame on the support frame, a rotating shaft inside the conveyor frame, a drive source on the rotating shaft, a conveyor belt sleeved on the rotating shaft, the conveyor belt being disposed inside the conveyor frame, one end of the conveyor frame being inclined, a storage cylinder on one side of the support frame, a discharge port on one side of the storage cylinder, and indigo dye extract placed inside the storage cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, protective frames are provided on both sides of the conveying frame, and the protective frames are inclined.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the storage cylinder is provided with a guide cover plate, which is a conical shape inclined towards the center, and a through hole is provided at the center of the guide cover plate.
[0008] Preferably, a rotating sleeve is rotatably disposed on the through hole, and a metering plate is slidably disposed inside the rotating sleeve. The metering plate is multi-segmented, and a stirring plate is disposed at the bottom of the metering plate. The stirring plate is wavy.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating sleeve has a set of flow ports, and a guide plate is provided at the bottom of the flow ports, the guide plate being arc-shaped.
[0010] Preferably, a pressure plate is provided on the top of the metering plate, and the pressure plate is an arc-shaped plate that bends to one side.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the rotating sleeve is provided with a guide cover, which is a funnel shape with the opening facing upwards.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is provided on one end of the metering plate, and a buffer spring is sleeved on the metering plate. One end of the buffer spring is disposed on the stirring plate, and the other end of the buffer spring is disposed on the limiting plate.
[0013] Preferably, a set of guide grooves are provided on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve, the guide grooves are threaded, and a set of moving rods are provided on the metering plate, the moving rods being adapted to the guide grooves.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The overall structure is fixed by the support frame 1. The conveyor frame is installed on the support frame and has a rotating shaft and conveyor belt inside. Under the action of the drive source, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate. By the timed start of the drive source, the conveyor belt is driven to run, realizing the continuous conveying of indigo dye extract. In order to prevent material splashing or deviation, protective frames with the same inclined setting are set on both sides of the conveyor frame to form a closed conveying channel, ensuring that the conveying process is stable and orderly. This device has automatic feeding and quantitative conveying functions, and can continuously and evenly convey indigo dye extract, improving production efficiency. The inclined conveyor frame helps the material to be conveyed smoothly, avoiding accumulation and blockage, and ensuring smooth material flow. The setting of the protective frame can effectively prevent material spillage, improve the safety and cleanliness of the conveying process. The overall structure is simple and easy to maintain, and it is suitable for the automation of indigo dye extraction process.
[0016] 2. When indigo dye is delivered into the storage cylinder, guided by the guide cover, the dye approaches the through hole. At this point, pressure is applied to the pressure plate, and the dye falls into the metering plate through the guide cover. Once the metering plate is full, the multi-section design allows the dye to move within the rotating sleeve. During this process, the metering plate slides within the rotating sleeve, and the dye falls into the storage cylinder through the flow port along the guide plate, thus completing the quantitative delivery of indigo dye and ensuring the accuracy of the quantitative delivery.
[0017] 3. When indigo dye is delivered into the storage cylinder, guided by the guide cover, the dye approaches the through hole. At this time, pressure is applied to the pressure plate, and the dye falls into the metering plate through the guide cover. Once the metering plate is full, the multi-section design of the metering plate allows the dye to move within the rotating sleeve. During this process, the metering plate slides within the rotating sleeve, and the dye falls into the storage cylinder through the flow port along the guide plate, thus completing the quantitative delivery of indigo dye and ensuring the accuracy of the quantitative delivery.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic feeding and quantitative device for extracting indigo dye includes a support frame 1, a conveyor frame 2 on the support frame 1, a rotating shaft 3 inside the conveyor frame 2, a drive source on the rotating shaft 3, a conveyor belt 4 sleeved on the rotating shaft 3, the conveyor belt 4 being disposed inside the conveyor frame 2, one end of the conveyor frame 2 being inclined, a storage cylinder 6 on one side of the support frame 1, a discharge port 7 on one side of the storage cylinder 6, and indigo dye extract placed inside the storage cylinder 6; protective frames 5 are provided on both sides of the conveyor frame 2, and the protective frames 5 are inclined.
[0027] The overall structure is fixed by the support frame 1. The conveyor frame 2 is installed on the support frame 1 and has a rotating shaft 3 and a conveyor belt 4 inside. Under the action of the drive source, the rotating shaft 3 is driven to rotate. By the timed start of the drive source, the conveyor belt 4 is driven to run, realizing the continuous conveying of indigo dye extract. In order to prevent material splashing or deviation, protective frames 5 with the same inclined setting are set on both sides of the conveyor frame 2 to form a closed conveying channel and ensure that the conveying process is stable and orderly. The device has automatic feeding and quantitative conveying functions, and can continuously and evenly convey indigo dye extract, improving production efficiency. The inclined conveyor frame 2 helps the material to be conveyed smoothly, avoiding accumulation and blockage, and ensuring smooth material flow. The setting of the protective frame 5 can effectively prevent material spillage, improve the safety and cleanliness of the conveying process. The overall structure is simple and easy to maintain, and it is suitable for the automation of indigo dye extraction process.
[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, the top of the storage cylinder 6 is provided with a guide cover plate 8, which is a conical shape inclined towards the center. A through hole 9 is provided at the center of the guide cover plate 8. A rotating sleeve 10 is rotatably installed on the through hole 9.

[0029] When indigo dye is delivered into the storage cylinder 6, it is guided by the guide cover plate 8 to move towards the through hole 9. At this time, pressure can be applied to the pressure plate 15, and the indigo dye can fall into the metering plate 14 through the guide cover 11. When the metering plate 14 is full of indigo dye, the multi-section setting of the metering plate 14 allows the indigo dye to move within the rotating sleeve 10. During this process, the metering plate 14 can slide within the rotating sleeve 10, and the indigo dye can fall into the storage cylinder 6 through the flow port 12 along the guide plate 13, thereby completing the quantitative delivery of indigo dye and ensuring the accuracy of the quantitative delivery of indigo dye.

At this time, pressure can be applied to the pressure plate 15, and the indigo dye can fall into the metering plate 14 through the guide cover 11. When the metering plate 14 is full of indigo dye, the multi-section setting of the metering plate 14 allows the indigo dye to move within the rotating sleeve 10. During this process, the metering plate 14 can slide within the rotating sleeve 10, and the indigo dye can fall into the storage cylinder 6 through the flow port 12 along the guide plate 13, thereby completing the quantitative delivery of indigo dye and ensuring the accuracy of the quantitative delivery of indigo dye.
