[0002] At present, for the bulk weighing process of powders, it is necessary to use a hopper to receive the material, and then discharge the powder continuously online through a weighing element, and weigh the discharged powder at the same time. However, at present, powder usually accumulates in the feed hopper and adheres to the hopper, which affects the continuity of its discharge. At present, devices such as vibration pumps are installed on the side walls of the hopper for vibration prevention, but the noise it produces is loud, especially when it is operated suddenly, it will scare the staff. Of course, airflow blowing is also used to prevent blockage, but the instantaneous increase in pressure in the hopper will cause the surrounding dust to expand. Summary of the invention
