[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a cover removing and capping mechanism for a material barrel to receive materials includes a material receiving station frame D01 and a material barrel C02, a cover removing and capping mechanism and a material feeding mechanism are provided on the material receiving station frame D01, the material barrel C02 is covered with a manhole cover C01 and is located below the material receiving station frame D01, a material receiving station outer cover D02 is connected above the material receiving station frame D01, the cover removing and capping mechanism and the material feeding mechanism are located inside the material receiving station outer cover D02; the cover removing and capping mechanism includes a sliding assembly and a cover removing and capping assembly, the sliding assembly is connected to the material receiving station frame D01, and the cover removing and capping assembly is connected to the sliding assembly; the material feeding mechanism includes a lifting assembly and a material feeding assembly, the lifting assembly is connected to the material receiving station frame D01, and the material feeding assembly is connected to the lifting assembly.

[0025] Specifically, the sliding assembly includes a guide rail A01 and a rodless cylinder A02, which are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the upper end of the material receiving station frame D01. A pressing cylinder A03 is each connected to the guide rail A01 and the rodless cylinder A02. The capping and pressing assembly includes two connecting plates A04. The output ends of the two pressing cylinders A03 are each connected to a connecting plate A04. The two connecting plates A04 are respectively connected to the two ends of the U-shaped powder receiving cover A05; the middle part of the U-shaped powder receiving cover A05 is connected to a limiting sleeve A08; each side of the U-shaped powder receiving cover A05 is connected to a capping cylinder A06, and the output ends of the two capping cylinders A06 are each connected to a capping support plate A07. The upper end surfaces of the opposite ends of the two capping support plates A07 are each connected to a silicone plate A09, and the lower end surfaces of the two capping support plates A07 are each connected to a nylon plate A10. The connecting plate A04 is L-shaped.

[0026] Specifically, the material barrel C02 is delivered to the bottom of the material receiving station frame D01. The position of the material barrel C02 can be accurately positioned by the positioning frame. At this time, the capping and pressing mechanism is on the other side, and the piston rod of the capping cylinder A06 is in an extended state. The rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping and pressing mechanism to the top of the material barrel C02. At this time, the two capping support plates A07 are just below the T-shaped structure of the manhole cover C01. The piston rod of the capping cylinder A06 retracts, and the silicone plate A09 on the capping support plate A07 contacts the manhole cover C01, pulling the manhole cover C01 out and separating it from the material barrel C02. The positioning pin at the center of the top of the manhole cover C01 just fits into the limit sleeve A08, and the manhole cover C01 is now fixed. The rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping and pressing mechanism to the other side, completing the capping process.

[0027] The design of the sliding assembly combines the rodless cylinder A02 and the guide rail A01 to form a horizontal motion mechanism. The cap removal cylinder A06 is installed on the horizontal motion mechanism to achieve vertical grasping and horizontal movement.

[0028] Specifically, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder mounting plate B02, which is connected to the receiving station frame D01. Two capping cylinders B01 are connected to this plate, and the output ends of these two capping cylinders B01 are connected to the upper end of the receiving manhole cover B03. The material conveying assembly includes a receiving inlet B07 and a receiving dust removal interface B06, both of which are located on the upper end of the receiving manhole cover B03. A conical deflector B05 is located at the center of the lower end of the receiving manhole cover B03, and a sealing ring B04 is connected to the edge of the lower end of the receiving manhole cover B03. The receiving dust removal interface B06 is connected to a vacuum hose, which in turn is connected to the negative pressure dust removal assembly.

[0029] Specifically, after removing the lid, barrel C02 needs to collect the material. At this time, the piston rods of the two capping cylinders B01 extend, pushing down the collecting manhole cover B03, and the collecting manhole cover B03 is connected to the barrel C02. The sealing ring B04 acts as a seal to prevent dust from being blown out during the collection process. The collecting dust removal interface B06 is connected to a vacuum hose, which is connected to a negative pressure dust removal component. Through the negative pressure dust removal, the collecting feed port B07 is connected to the discharge port of the upstream equipment. The material enters the barrel C02 through the collecting feed port B07. The conical deflector B05 is located directly below the feed port. After the material falls on the conical deflector B05, it is diverted to the surrounding areas to prevent material accumulation in the center of the barrel. The design of the conical deflector B05, located directly below the collecting feed port B07, diverts the incoming material to the surrounding areas, preventing material accumulation in the center and increasing the filling capacity of the barrel C02. After the material barrel C02 completes receiving the material, the piston rods of the two capping cylinders B01 retract, and the material receiving manhole cover B03 rises and separates from the material barrel C02.

[0030] Specifically, rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping mechanism to the top of barrel C02. At this point, manhole cover C01 is positioned directly above barrel C02. The piston rod of capping cylinder A06 extends, placing cover C01 onto the manhole of barrel C02. At this point, cover C01 is not yet fully sealed. The piston rod of clamping cylinder A03 retracts, pressing the entire capping mechanism downward, tightening cover C01 and ensuring a complete seal, completing the capping operation.

[0031] Specifically, after completing the plugging action, the U-shaped powder collecting cover A05 will stay below the material receiving and docking manhole cover B03. Residual materials on the material receiving and docking manhole cover B03 may fall, and the U-shaped powder collecting cover A05 will catch the fallen materials to prevent them from falling to the ground, thereby preventing cross contamination.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] Bucket C02 is moved to the bottom of the receiving station frame D01. The positioning of bucket C02 is precisely controlled by the positioning frame. The capping mechanism is now on the other side, and the piston rod of capping cylinder A06 is extended. Rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping mechanism directly above bucket C02. The two capping support plates A07 now rest just below the T-shaped structure of manhole cover C01. The piston rod of capping cylinder A06 retracts, and the silicone plate A09 on capping support plate A07 contacts manhole cover C01, pulling it out and separating it from bucket C02. The center locating pin on the top of manhole cover C01 engages the stop sleeve A08, securing it. Rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping mechanism to the other side, completing the capping process.

[0034] After removing the lid, barrel C02 is ready to receive the material. At this point, the piston rods of the two capping cylinders B01 extend, pushing down the receiving manhole cover B03, docking the cover with barrel C02. A sealing ring B04 provides a seal to prevent dust from escaping during the receiving process. The receiving dust removal interface B06 connects to a vacuum hose, which in turn connects to a negative pressure dust removal assembly. Through this negative pressure dust removal, the receiving feed port B07 connects to the discharge port of the upstream equipment. Material enters barrel C02 through this port. A conical deflector B05, located directly below the feed port, diverts the material onto the tapered deflector, preventing accumulation in the center of the barrel. After barrel C02 has received the material, the piston rods of the two capping cylinders B01 retract, and the receiving manhole cover B03 rises and separates from barrel C02.

[0035] Rodless cylinder A02 moves horizontally, moving the capping mechanism to the top of barrel C02. Manhole cover C01 is now positioned directly above barrel C02. The piston rod of capping cylinder A06 extends, placing cover C01 onto the manhole of barrel C02. At this point, cover C01 is not yet fully sealed. The piston rod of clamping cylinder A03 retracts, pressing the entire capping mechanism downward, tightening cover C01 and ensuring a complete seal, completing the capping operation.

[0036] After completing the plugging action, the U-shaped powder collecting cover A05 will stay under the material receiving and docking manhole cover B03. Residual materials on the material receiving and docking manhole cover B03 may fall. The U-shaped powder collecting cover A05 will catch the fallen materials to prevent them from falling to the ground and prevent cross contamination.
