Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical metering, and in particular to a metering and loading device for powder materials. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the chemical industry, the packaging or loading of powder materials usually adopts the method of separate loading and metering. Due to the lack of appropriate metering means, it is difficult to accurately control the weight of the loading during bulk loading, and it is necessary to transport back and forth many times. The repeated loading and unloading of a single vehicle is very serious, which seriously affects the efficiency of loading. In addition, the repeated loading and unloading process causes serious dust pollution on site, which also causes waste of resources. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, a powder material metering and loading device is provided, which converts the volume of the measured powder material into the powder weight, which is not only convenient for metering, but also has no dust pollution during the loading process, realizes automatic metering and loading, and improves the loading efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0005] A powder material metering and loading device, comprising a powder material bin;

[0006] The powder outlet of the powder material bin is sequentially connected to a discharge device, a weighing bin, a discharge device, and a control unit;

[0007] A load sensor and a feeder are provided at the discharge port at the bottom of the weighing bin;

[0008] The unloading device comprises a unloading hose connected to the discharge port, the unloading hose is connected to an exhaust pipe; the exhaust pipe is provided with a gas flow meter;

[0009] The control unit is electrically connected to the discharge device, the load sensor, the feeder, and the gas flow meter respectively;

[0010] The control unit is used to control the pneumatic discharging device to start discharging, and control the feeder to unload after the value of the load sensor reaches the set value; and control the discharging device and the feeder to close feeding and unloading after the flow of the gas flow meter reaches the set value.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the discharge device includes an air conveying chute connected to the powder outlet, and a pneumatic solenoid valve and a dust collector are sequentially arranged on the air conveying chute.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the dust collector is a bag dust collector or an electrostatic dust collector.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, a manual valve is also provided on the pneumatic solenoid valve.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the feeder is a cylinder valve, a gravity flap valve, a spiral feeder or a spiral auger.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, the unloading device also includes a sealed bulk head arranged at the free end of the unloading hose.

[0016] As a further improved technical solution, the sealed bulk loading head includes a telescopic hose and an inverted cone-shaped discharge port.

[0017] As an improved technical solution, a filter is provided on the exhaust pipe at the upstream section of the gas flow meter.

[0018] As an improved technical solution, the air conveying chute and the weighing bin are softly connected.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the pneumatic solenoid valve is an IBAU valve.

[0020] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] The powder material metering and loading device of the present invention comprises a powder material bin; the powder outlet of the powder material bin is connected to a discharge device, a weighing bin and a discharge device, and a control unit in sequence; a load sensor and a feeder are arranged at the discharge port at the bottom of the weighing bin; the discharge device comprises a discharge hose connected to the discharge port, and the discharge hose is connected to an exhaust pipe; a gas flow meter is arranged on the exhaust pipe; the control unit is electrically connected to the pneumatic solenoid valve of the discharge device, the load sensor, the feeder and the gas flow meter respectively. When loading a vehicle, the control unit first controls the pneumatic solenoid valve or electric actuator to start feeding, and after the value of the load sensor reaches a set value, controls the feeder to start unloading; after the powder material enters the container (tank truck), the gas is discharged and flows through the gas flow meter, and the volume value converted from the density of the loaded powder and the loading weight is input into the control unit as a set value, and after the flow of the gas flow meter reaches the set value, controls the pneumatic solenoid valve or electric actuator and the feeder to close feeding and unloading, thereby completing loading.

[0022] The present invention uses a gas flow meter to detect the volume of gas discharged from the tank truck, so as to calculate the volume of powder material that has entered the tank, and then according to the density of the powder material, the weight of the powder loaded in the tank truck can be calculated. The control unit continuously reads the gas flow meter data, and when the volume setting value required for this loading is reached, the pneumatic solenoid valve and the feeder are controlled to close the feeding and unloading, thus ending this loading. The present invention can not only accurately measure the powder material to be loaded, avoiding the problem of difficulty in accurately measuring the loading weight in the prior art, but also avoiding the situation of multiple back and forth transportation and repeated loading and unloading of a single vehicle, greatly improving the loading efficiency, and the system is sealed during the loading process, there is no dust pollution, and the problem of raw material waste is avoided.
