The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the tilting bracket 1. A bracket is provided on the top of the tilting bracket 1 to support both ends of the rotating shaft. A gap is left between the rotating shaft and the tilting bracket 1. A rocker arm 24 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft. Two threaded holes are opened on the rotating shaft for locking the tail of the material bag. A panel 2 is installed on the tilting bracket 1. Side baffles 3 are provided on both sides of the panel 2. Two inclined grooves 4 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the side baffles 3. An extrusion rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the panel 2. The two ends of the extrusion rod 5 are respectively installed on the two inclined grooves 4. The tilting bracket 1 includes an L-shaped support frame and a flat plate frame. The top of the L-shaped support frame is gantry-shaped, and the bottom of the flat plate frame is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped support frame. Multiple mounting holes are provided on both sides of the flat plate frame, and through holes corresponding to the multiple mounting holes are provided on the side of the L-shaped support frame, so as to facilitate the installation of the L-shaped support frame and the flat plate frame by bolts, and the tilt angle of the flat plate frame can be adjusted.

[0025] In this embodiment, a scraper assembly is slidably mounted on the panel 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the scraper assembly includes a lateral movement mechanism. Lateral movement tracks 6 are provided on both sides of the side baffle 3 for the lateral movement mechanism to move. A lifting mechanism 7 is laterally mounted on the lateral movement mechanism. A rotary motor 8 is vertically mounted on the lifting mechanism 7. A roller shaft 9 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 8. The middle of the roller shaft 9 is located below the panel 2. A scraper blade 10 is provided on the top surface of the roller shaft 9. An opening slot 12 for accommodating the scraper blade 10 is provided on the panel 2. A lateral movement groove 11 for moving the end of the roller shaft 9 is provided on the side baffle 3. The lifting mechanism 7 is a cylinder in the prior art, and the lateral movement mechanism is a lateral movement module in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In use, the lifting mechanism 7 raises the rotating motor 8, thereby driving the roller 9 to move upward. The roller 9 drives the scraper 10 to move upward. Then, the rotating motor 8 rotates the roller 9, thereby driving the scraper 10 to rotate, so that the bottom of the scraper 10 contacts the panel 2. Then, as the transverse mechanism moves, the scraper 10 will scrape the residual material on the panel 2 into the production equipment.

[0028] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism is provided above the output end of the panel 2. The cleaning mechanism includes two fixed blocks 13, which are symmetrically arranged on the side baffle 3. A sliding rod 14 is provided between the two fixed blocks 13. A cleaning base 15 is slidably mounted on the sliding rod 14, and multiple cleaning scrapers 16 are detachably mounted on the cleaning base 15. The sliding rod 14 is a lead screw, and a motor for driving the sliding rod 14 to rotate is provided at one end of each fixed block 13. The cleaning scrapers 16 are polytetrafluoroethylene scrapers.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning scraper 16 is mounted on a swing block 17, the top of the swing block 17 is provided with an arc-shaped rod 18, the top of the arc-shaped rod 18 is provided with a circular collar 19, the top of the cleaning base 15 is driven by a motor 20, and the output end of the motor 20 is matched with the circular collar 19.

[0030] After the scraper blade 10 hangs on the panel 2, the roller shaft 9 is rotated by the rotary motor, which in turn rotates the scraper blade 10 so that the bottom of the scraper blade 10 faces upward. Then, the cleaning scrapers 16 on both sides are driven by the drive motor 20 to clamp the scraper blade 10. As the cleaning base 15 moves on the sliding rod 14, the cleaning scrapers 16 clean the last remaining material on the scraper blade 10. Finally, all mechanisms reset. Multiple cleaning scrapers 16 can be installed on the cleaning base 15 to improve cleanliness.

[0031] In this embodiment, the extrusion rod 5 includes a limiting rod 21 with threads at both ends. The two ends of the limiting rod 21 are fixedly installed on the inclined groove 4 by nuts. An extrusion roller 22 is sleeved in the middle of the limiting rod 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inclined groove 4 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 23. When naturally placed, the limiting blocks are used to hold the two ends of the extrusion rod 5, restricting the displacement of the extrusion rod within the inclined groove 4. When it is necessary to remove the extrusion rod 5, the two ends of the extrusion rod 5 are lifted upwards, so that the two ends of the extrusion rod 5 can be moved out between the limiting blocks 23 and the inner top surface of the inclined groove 4. Placing the extrusion rod 5 in different positions can accommodate extrusion rollers 22 of different diameters.

[0033] Working principle: The tail of the packaging bag containing the material is cut open, and the bag opening is fixed on the rotating component. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by rotating the rocker arm 24. Then, the packaging bag is pressed by the extrusion rod 5, so that the material inside the packaging bag can be completely squeezed out. Then, the scraper assembly scrapes off the material remaining on the panel 2, thereby reducing waste and alleviating the pressure of environmental treatment.

[0034] A method of using a semi-solid material feeding device, comprising the following steps: (1) unpacking the bag containing the material, fixing the bag tail to the rotating assembly, with the bag opening located on the panel 2; (2) shaking the rotating assembly and pressing the bag with the squeezing rod 5 so that the material inside the bag can be completely squeezed out; (3) scraping off the remaining material on the panel 2 by the scraper assembly.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, based on the technical essence of the present invention, should be within the scope of the present invention.
