[0002] At present, in the process of glass melting and preparing raw materials, it is often necessary to transport and feed materials into material tanks.

[0003] When a material tank filled with materials enters the feeding port, it is usually manually lifted, translated, and lowered for docking using equipment such as electric hoists. However, due to inertia, the material tank will shake in the air. When the material tank is docked with the feeding port of the storage equipment, it cannot directly enter the feeding port due to the shaking, causing the connection port of the material tank or the storage equipment to be damaged, resulting in equipment damage. The worker can only wait until the material tank is stable before slowly feeding the material, resulting in a too slow feeding rate, which seriously affects work efficiency. In the prior art, manual intervention is usually performed, and workers manually stop the shaking material tank in the air to speed up the feeding process.

[0004] However, the existing manual intervention operations have serious safety hazards, which can easily cause casualties and are not conducive to protecting the health of workers, thereby increasing the production costs of enterprises.

[0066] In some embodiments, refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 4 In a specific implementation, the feeding part 1 is made of non-magnetic material, and a magnetic part is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 12;

[0070] In some embodiments, refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 4 , in a specific implementation, the opening 111 of the positioning groove 12 has a wide-mouthed inclined surface;

When the electric push rod 212, the top block 211 and the feeding part 1 are stationary, the weight is unchanged. Therefore, when the top block 211 supports the feeding part 1, the mass of the material in the feeding part 1 can be obtained by subtracting the mass of the electric push rod 212, the top block 211 and the feeding part 1 from the total mass measured by the gravity sensor 213. By monitoring the mass of the material in the feeding part 1, the operator can understand in real time whether there is any material in the feeding part 1, and quickly judge whether the feeding is completed so as to carry out the next feeding operation, which can effectively improve the feeding efficiency.

[0105] By adjusting the height of the positioning protrusion 21, the position of the feeding part 1 can be adjusted, and the height of the feeding part 1 can be lowered smoothly and stably, so that the feeding part 1 and the docking part 2 are buckled;

[0106] During the engagement of the feeding part 1 and the docking part 2, the push rod 25 supports the baffle 115 to move the baffle 115 upward, so that the feeding port 11 is connected with the discharge channel, that is, the feeding part 1 is connected with the storage device 4, and the feeding starts.

[0107] First, the positioning protrusion 21 and the positioning groove 12 are cooperated to limit the feeding part 1 to be directly above the docking part 2, and the feeding part 1 is supported by the positioning protrusion 21, and then the height of the positioning protrusion 21 is lowered so that the feeding part 1 can be lowered smoothly and stably. This can avoid the feeding part 1 and the storage device 4 from shaking during the feeding and docking process, causing collisions between the devices and resulting in damage to the docking connection. It can also save manpower and no longer need to manually support the feeding part 1, which can speed up the feeding efficiency and reduce safety hazards.

[0108] In some embodiments, refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 4 After the feeding part 1 is buckled with the docking part 2, the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 is detected;

[0109] When the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 gradually decreases until it reaches zero, the feeding is completed;

[0110] When the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 gradually decreases but does not return to zero, but reaches a certain value and does not change, the electric push rod 212 is controlled to repeatedly extend and retract to shake the material until the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 returns to zero, and the electric push rod 212 is controlled to stop extending and retracting to complete the feeding.

[0111] Specifically, after the feeding part 1 is buckled with the docking part 2, the gravity sensor 213 detects the weight of the electric push rod 212, the top block 211, the feeding part 1 and the material in the feeding part 1, and feeds back the signal to the controller, which receives the weight signal and calculates the weight of the material in the feeding part 1;

[0112] When the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 gradually decreases until it reaches zero, the feeding is completed, and the controller issues an alarm to prompt the operator to lift the feeding part 1 and prepare for the next feeding;

[0113] When the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 gradually decreases but does not return to zero, but reaches a certain value and does not change anymore, it means that there is material stuck in the feeding part 1. At this time, the controller controls the electric push rod 212 to perform repeated extension and retraction operations to move the feeding part 1 up and down to shake the material until the weight of the material in the feeding part 1 returns to zero. The controller then controls the electric push rod 212 to stop extending and retracting, completing the feeding. The controller issues a warning to prompt the operator to lift the feeding part 1 and prepare for the next feeding.

[0114] The controller can monitor the remaining materials in the feeding part 1. When the materials in the feeding part 1 are stuck, the controller can control the feeding part 1 to shake up and down to shake out the materials. There is no need to manually observe the inside of the feeding part 1 or manually shake the feeding part 1. It can ensure that the materials in the feeding part 1 are completely emptied, ensure the feeding effect, and improve the feeding efficiency.

[0115] In some embodiments, refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 4 After the positioning protrusion 21 supports the feeding part 1, the height of the positioning protrusion 21 is automatically lowered, so that the feeding part 1 and the docking part 2 are buckled.

[0116] Specifically, after the positioning protrusion 21 supports the feeding part 1, the feeding part 1 is pressed on the positioning protrusion 21, and the gravity signal that can be detected by the gravity sensor 213 increases, and then is fed back to the controller. After the controller receives the signal, it determines that the feeding part 1 has been supported by the positioning protrusion 21, and immediately starts to control the electric push rod 212 to retract, lower the height of the positioning protrusion 21, so that the feeding part 1 descends smoothly and engages with the docking part 2.

[0117] The controller can determine through the gravity sensor 213 that the positioning protrusion 21 has supported the feeding part 1, and automatically lower the height of the feeding part 1, which can make the feeding method more automated, and can prevent the operator from forgetting to retract the electric push rod 212 when manually operating the electric push rod 212 to raise and lower it, thereby reducing the feeding efficiency. It can also avoid retracting the electric push rod 212 prematurely, which affects the docking operation between the positioning protrusion 21 and the positioning groove 12, thereby reducing the feeding efficiency.
