Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of loading equipment, specifically referring to a dual-material multi-row metering loading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of food or pharmaceuticals, filling machines are needed to load the produced materials into packaging containers. When two materials need to be mixed and filled into the packaging container, each material must be measured separately to ensure accurate filling. The common practice is to fill in two separate steps: first, one material is measured and filled, then the other is measured and filled. This method requires two filling machines and cannot measure both materials simultaneously, resulting in low overall filling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem that common loading equipment in the prior art cannot simultaneously meter and load two materials, requiring two loading devices to load in stages, resulting in low loading efficiency, this invention proposes a dual-material multi-row metering and loading mechanism that can simultaneously meter two materials and quantitatively discharge them, thereby improving the overall loading speed.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a dual-material multi-row metering and loading mechanism, comprising a hopper, a guide trough plate, a metering tube, and a mounting bracket; the hopper, the guide trough plate, and the metering tube are all mounted on the mounting bracket; the hopper stores two types of materials; the guide trough plate is located below the hopper; the guide trough plate has several funnel-shaped guide troughs; adjacent guide troughs are respectively used to receive the two types of materials falling from the hopper; each guide trough has a through hole at its bottom; the top of the metering tube is inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the guide trough; the material in the guide trough can flow into the metering tube for metering; the metering tube has a discharge pipe for discharging; two adjacent metering tubes form a group; the discharge pipes on the same group of metering tubes move towards the middle.

[0005] Furthermore, the hopper is equipped with a partition that divides the hopper into two compartments for storing the two materials respectively. The bottom of the hopper has several discharge ports, which are staggered on both sides of the partition. Each guide trough has a discharge port above it, with discharge ports above adjacent guide troughs located on different sides of the partition. The two compartments divided by the partition can store the two materials respectively, and the materials are discharged from the discharge ports into the guide troughs below.

[0006] Furthermore, the hopper also includes a discharge switch, and each discharge port is equipped with a discharge switch. The discharge switches can control the opening and closing of each discharge port individually.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket also includes a first lifting plate and a first lifting cylinder, and the metering tube also includes a metering sleeve and a metering rod. The metering sleeve has an opening on one side, and the discharge pipe is located at the opening. The metering rod is inserted into the metering sleeve, and the metering sleeve is mounted on the first lifting plate. The first lifting cylinder can drive the first lifting plate to rise and fall. When the metering sleeve is lowered, the opening of the metering sleeve is lower than the top of the metering rod, preventing material from flowing out of the opening. When the metering sleeve is raised, the top of the metering sleeve is higher than the height of the material in the guide trough, preventing further material flow into the metering sleeve. The amount of material in the metering sleeve remains unchanged. When the opening of the metering sleeve is higher than the height of the top of the metering rod, the material in the metering sleeve flows out of the opening.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket also includes a second lifting plate and a second lifting cylinder. The metering rod is height-adjustable and is mounted on the second lifting plate. The second lifting cylinder can drive the second lifting plate to move up and down. Changing the height of the metering rod can change the volume of material stored in the metering sleeve, thereby changing the metering of the material.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the measuring rod is provided with a slope, which faces the opening of the measuring sleeve. The slope can guide the material inside the measuring sleeve to the opening, avoiding material residue inside the measuring sleeve that could cause measurement deviation.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a scraper and a scraper driving cylinder. The scraper is positioned above the guide trough plate, and the scraper driving cylinder can push the scraper to move back and forth. When the metering sleeve rises, a material pile will form on the top of the metering sleeve. The scraper can scrape the material on the top of the metering sleeve to flatten it, making the metering of the metering tube more accurate.

[0011] Furthermore, a transparent inspection window is provided on one side of the hopper. This window allows for easy and transparent inspection of the remaining material in the hopper, enabling timely replenishment when necessary.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the dual-material multi-row metering and loading mechanism of the present invention are as follows: It can quantitatively load materials, equipped with a metering tube, using volumetric metering. After the metering tube is filled with material, the metering sleeve of the metering tube rises, preventing further material from entering the metering tube, thus fixing the discharge rate. Adjacent guide troughs are used to receive two different materials falling from the hopper. Each guide trough has a through hole at its bottom, and the top of the metering tube is inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the guide trough, allowing the material in the guide trough to flow into the metering tube for quantitative discharge, simultaneously metering two materials. It can also batch load materials, equipped with several guide troughs, each with a metering tube at its bottom, allowing multiple metering tubes to perform metering simultaneously, improving loading efficiency. The volume of the metering tube is adjustable; a second lifting cylinder can drive the second lifting plate to rise and fall, changing the height of the metering rod installed on the second lifting plate, thereby changing the volume of material stored in the metering sleeve and the discharge rate. A discharge switch is provided, allowing for the individual opening or closing of the discharge of one material as needed. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention is a dual-material multi-row metering and loading mechanism, including a hopper 1, a guide trough 2, a metering tube 3, and a mounting bracket 4; the hopper 1, the guide trough 2, and the metering tube 3 are all mounted on the mounting bracket 4, which includes a base plate 41, columns 42, guide rods 43, and a top plate 44. Both ends of the hopper 1 are mounted on the base plate 41 via the columns 42. A plurality of guide rods 43 are provided on the base plate 41, and the top plate 44 is mounted on the top of the guide rods 43. The guide trough 2 is mounted on the top plate 44. The hopper 1 stores two types of materials, and the guide trough 2 is located within the hopper. Below 1, the guide trough plate 2 is provided with several funnel-shaped guide troughs 21. Adjacent guide troughs 21 are used to receive the two materials falling from the hopper 1. Each guide trough 21 has a through hole at the bottom. The top of the metering tube 3 is inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the guide trough 21. The material in the guide trough 21 can flow into the metering tube 3 for metering. The metering tube 3 is provided with a discharge pipe 33 for discharging. Two adjacent metering tubes 3 form a group. The discharge pipes 33 on the same group of metering tubes 3 move closer to the middle. When two discharge pipes 33 move closer to the middle, the two materials can be gathered together for discharge, which is convenient for mixing and loading.

[0023] Furthermore, the hopper 1 is provided with a partition 11, which divides the hopper 1 into two compartments for storing the two materials respectively. The bottom of the hopper 1 is provided with several discharge ports 12, which are staggered on both sides of the partition 11. Each guide trough 21 has a discharge port 12 above it, and the discharge ports 12 above adjacent guide troughs 21 are located on different sides of the partition 11. The two compartments divided by the partition 11 can store the two materials respectively, and the materials are discharged from the discharge ports 12 into the guide troughs 21 below.

[0024] Furthermore, the hopper 1 also includes a discharge switch 13, and each discharge port 12 is equipped with the discharge switch 13. The discharge switch 13 can control the opening and closing of each discharge port 12 respectively.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 4 also includes a first lifting plate 45 and a first lifting cylinder 46. The first lifting plate 45 is mounted on the guide rod 43 via a sliding bearing, and the first lifting cylinder 46 is mounted on the base plate 41. The metering tube 3 also includes a metering sleeve 31 and a metering rod 32. The metering sleeve 31 has an opening 311 on one side, and the discharge pipe 33 is located at the opening 311. The metering rod 32 is inserted into the metering sleeve 31. The metering sleeve 31 is mounted on the first lifting plate 45, and the first lifting cylinder 46 can drive the first lifting plate 45 to rise and fall. When the metering sleeve 31 is lowered, the opening 311 of the metering sleeve 31 is lower than the top of the metering rod 32, and the material cannot flow out from the opening 311; when the metering sleeve 31 is raised, the top of the metering sleeve 31 is higher than the height of the material in the guide trough 2, and the material cannot continue to flow into the metering sleeve 31. The amount of material in the metering sleeve 31 remains unchanged. When the opening 311 of the metering sleeve 31 is higher than the height of the top of the metering rod 32, the material in the metering sleeve 31 flows out from the opening 311.

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 4 also includes a second lifting plate 47 and a second lifting cylinder 48. The second lifting plate 47 is mounted on the guide rod 43 via a sliding bearing, and the second lifting cylinder 48 is mounted on the first lifting plate 45. The metering rod 32 is height-adjustable and is mounted on the second lifting plate 47. The second lifting cylinder 48 can drive the second lifting plate 47 to rise and fall. Changing the height of the metering rod 32 can change the volume of material stored in the metering sleeve 31, thereby changing the metering of the material.

[0027] Furthermore, the top of the measuring rod 32 is provided with an inclined surface, which faces the opening 311 of the measuring sleeve 31. The inclined surface can guide the material inside the measuring sleeve 31 to flow towards the opening 311, avoiding material residue inside the measuring sleeve 31 that could cause measurement deviation.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a scraper 5 and a scraper driving cylinder 6. The scraper 5 is located above the guide trough plate 2, and the scraper driving cylinder 6 can push the scraper 5 to move back and forth. When the metering sleeve 31 is raised, a material pile will form on the top of the metering sleeve 31. The scraper 5 can scrape the material on the top of the metering sleeve 31 flat, making the metering of the metering tube 3 more accurate.

[0029] Furthermore, a transparent inspection window 14 is provided on one side of the hopper 1. The amount of material remaining in the hopper 1 can be easily inspected through the transparent inspection window 14, and replenished in a timely manner when the material is insufficient.

[0030] The specific usage steps are as follows: First, adjust the discharge rate. The second lifting cylinder 48 drives the second lifting plate 47 to rise and fall, changing the height of the metering rod 32, which can change the volume of material stored in the metering sleeve 31 and thus change the discharge rate. The hopper 1 is filled with two kinds of materials. The materials flow out from the discharge port 12 at the bottom of the hopper 1 and fall into the guide groove 21 of the guide trough plate 2 below the discharge port 12. The bottom of the guide groove 21 is connected to the metering tube 3. The materials flow into the metering sleeve 31 of the metering tube 3. At this time, the opening 311 of the metering sleeve 31 is lower than the top of the metering rod 32, and the materials cannot flow out from the opening 311. The materials accumulate in the metering tube 3 until it is full. The entire metering tube 3; the first lifting cylinder 46 drives the first lifting plate 45 to rise, the metering sleeve 31 rises with the first lifting plate 45, the top of the metering sleeve 31 is higher than the height of the material in the guide trough 2, the material can no longer flow into the metering sleeve 31, the amount of material in the metering sleeve 31 remains unchanged, when the opening 311 of the metering sleeve 31 is higher than the top of the metering rod 32, the material in the metering sleeve 31 flows out from the opening 311; two adjacent metering tubes 3 are used to meter different materials respectively, the discharge pipes 33 on the same group of metering tubes 3 move towards the middle, gather the two materials together for discharge, which facilitates direct mixing and filling of the container.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the dual-material multi-row metering and loading mechanism of the present invention are as follows: It can quantitatively load materials, equipped with a metering tube, using volumetric metering. After the metering tube is filled with material, the metering sleeve of the metering tube rises, preventing further material from entering the metering tube, thus fixing the discharge rate. Adjacent guide troughs are used to receive two different materials falling from the hopper. Each guide trough has a through hole at its bottom, and the top of the metering tube is inserted into the through hole at the bottom of the guide trough, allowing the material in the guide trough to flow into the metering tube for quantitative discharge, simultaneously metering two materials. It can also batch load materials, equipped with several guide troughs, each with a metering tube at its bottom, allowing multiple metering tubes to perform metering simultaneously, improving loading efficiency. The volume of the metering tube is adjustable; a second lifting cylinder can drive the second lifting plate to rise and fall, changing the height of the metering rod installed on the second lifting plate, thereby changing the volume of material stored in the metering sleeve and the discharge rate. A discharge switch is provided, allowing for the individual opening or closing of the discharge of one material as needed.

[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive. The accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
