[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6This invention provides an automatic feeding mixer for refractory material batching, including a support frame 1. A mixing bin 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. A stirring mechanism is installed inside the mixing bin 2. Refractory material raw materials are placed inside the mixing bin 2, and the stirring mechanism can stir and mix the raw materials in the mixing bin 2. A feeding mechanism 6 is installed on the right side of the support frame 1. A drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the right side of the support frame 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the stirring mechanism through a coupling 4. The drive motor 3 can provide power to the entire stirring mechanism, so that it can fully mix the raw materials. A sealing mechanism 5 is installed at the top of the mixing bin 2. The sealing mechanism 5 can block the dust generated by stirring, so as to prevent the dust generated from falling too much into the outside and affecting the outside air.

[0029] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism includes a central shaft 8, the outer wall of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mixing bin 2. The drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the central shaft 8 via a coupling 4. The drive motor 3 drives the central shaft 8 to rotate, thereby mixing the refractory material in the mixing bin 2. Three sets of mixing plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central shaft 8. Several sets of through grooves are opened on the inner wall of the mixing plates 7. Several sets of insert plates 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the mixing bin 2. The insert plates 9 intersect with the through grooves on the mixing plates 7. By rotating the mixing plates 7 along the central shaft 8, the through grooves on their surface can continuously intersect with the insert plates 9, which can break up the lumps of the raw materials.

[0030] In this embodiment, by starting the drive motor 3, the drive motor 3 drives the central shaft 8 to rotate through the coupling 4, thereby causing the central shaft 8 to drive the stirring plate 7 to rotate along the central shaft 8, which fully mixes the raw materials in the drive motor 3. As the stirring plate 7 rotates, it will continuously intersect with the insert plate 9, thereby breaking up some of the clumps of raw materials. The insert plate 9 and the through groove on the stirring plate 7 have a certain gap.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4This embodiment, based on the above embodiments, provides an automatic feeding mixer for refractory material batching. The feeding mechanism 6 of this automatic feeding mixer includes a conveying plate 61, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1 via a bracket 611. The conveying plate 61 is inclined. When refractory material is placed on the conveying plate 61, it moves towards a baffle plate 62 due to the inclination angle of the conveying plate 61. A baffle plate 62 is slidably connected through the inner wall of the conveying plate 61, blocking the sliding material. A support plate 612 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the baffle plate 62, and a return spring 613 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support plate 612. The other end of the return spring 613 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support plate 612. The elasticity of the return spring 613 allows the baffle plate 62 to initially... The conveyor plate 61 is kept in an upward position to shield the raw materials. Two sets of linear slide rails 65 are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor plate 61. The linear slide rails 65 are linear motors in the prior art. They are driven by a motor. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The rotation of the threaded rod can drive the storage frame 63 to move along the linear slide rails 65, thereby driving the raw materials to rise. The storage frame 63 is slidably connected to the linear slide rails 65. A groove is opened on the inner wall of the middle part of the conveyor plate 61 so that the storage frame 63 can descend to the bottom of the conveyor plate 61. A stop block 68 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the storage frame 63. The bottom end of the stop block 68 contacts the top end of the baffle plate 62. The descent of the storage frame 63 can drive the stop block 68 to squeeze the baffle plate 62 and move it downward, so that the raw materials on the conveyor plate 61 will be conveyed into the storage frame 63 along the inclined surface.

[0033] Furthermore, a baffle 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor plate 61. The baffle 64 is inclined and its inclination angle matches that of the linear slide rail 65. Slider blocks 610 are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the storage frame 63. The inner wall of the slider 610 is threaded through and threaded to a threaded rod inside the linear slide rail 65. The rotation of the threaded rod can drive the slider 610 to move and control the movement of the storage frame 63. A baffle plate 69 is hinged to the inner wall of the storage frame 63. The material blocking plate 69 blocks the groove in the storage frame 63, and the outer wall of the material blocking plate 69 contacts the outer wall of the baffle 64. The material blocking plate 69 is always locked to the storage frame 63 by the pressure of the baffle 64, so that the bottom of the storage frame 63 is always closed in the area of ​​the baffle 64. A connecting rod 66 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 610, and an extrusion frame 67 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting rod 66. The two sides of the extrusion frame 67 are inclined.

[0034] In this embodiment, during feeding, the refractory material is placed on the conveyor plate 61, slides down the inclined surface of the conveyor plate 61, and is blocked by the baffle plate 62. At this time, the linear slide rail 65 drives the slider 610 and the storage frame 63 to descend, thereby causing the storage frame 63 to descend and drive the stop block 68 to press against the baffle plate 62, causing the baffle plate 62 to descend until it is at the same level as the inner surface of the conveyor plate 61. The storage frame 63 also aligns with the baffle plate 62. 2. When the conveying plate 61 is on the same plane, the refractory material will slide into the storage frame 63. After the storage frame 63 is full, it will be driven to rise by the linear slide rail 65. When the storage frame 63 rises, when the storage frame 63 exceeds the height area of ​​the baffle 64, the material in the storage frame 63 will be forced by gravity to make the baffle arc plate 69 fold downward and let its outer edge rest on the top of the baffle 64, so that the material inside pours out of the storage frame 63, thus achieving the function of automatic feeding and unloading.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Reference Appendix Figure 5 This embodiment, based on the above embodiments, provides an automatic feeding mixer for refractory material batching. The enclosing mechanism 5 of this automatic feeding mixer includes two sets of fixing plates 51. The outer ends of the two sets of fixing plates 51 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the mixing chamber 2. A baffle plate 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plates 51. The ends of the two sets of baffle plates 52 are in contact with each other. The baffle plate 52 can block the dust generated during mixing, preventing it from polluting the surrounding environment. A limit spring 53 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the baffle plate 52. The other end of the limit spring 53... The end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 51. The elasticity of the limiting spring 53 can always keep the ends of the two sets of baffles 52 in contact with each other. A sliding rod 54 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the baffle 52. A groove 55 is opened on the inner wall of the mixing bin 2. The groove 55 is inclined. The outer wall of the sliding rod 54 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 55. The sliding rod 54 passes through the inner wall of the fixed plate 51. By pressing the sliding rod 54 to both sides, the baffle 52 can be driven to slide upward along the inner wall of the fixed plate 51, thereby opening the upper feed port for feeding.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 66 of the feeding mechanism 6 rises with the extrusion frame 67, and the extrusion frame 67 can extrude the outer wall of the outer end of the sliding rod 54, thereby causing the baffle plate 52 to move towards the inner wall of the fixed plate 51, so that the feed port at the top of the drive motor 3 opens, allowing the raw material to enter the drive motor 3. At the same time, the baffle plate 69 on the storage frame 63 opens, pouring the raw material into the mixing bin 2 for mixing.

[0038] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
