DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0043] In this embodiment, there is one metering bin 41, and the fluid replenishment component 42 includes a fluid replenishment branch pipe 422 and a fluid replenishment main pipe 421 connected to the fluid replenishment branch pipe 422 and extending to the outside of the shell 3, and there is one fluid replenishment control valve 44 and arranged on the fluid replenishment branch pipe 422 or the fluid replenishment main pipe 421.
[0044] In this embodiment, there is one metering bin 41, and the liquid outlet component 43 includes a liquid outlet branch pipe 432 and a liquid outlet main pipe 431 connected to the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 and extending to the outside of the shell 3, and there is one liquid outlet control valve 45 and arranged on the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 or the liquid outlet main pipe 431.
[0045] In this embodiment, the metering bin 41 includes a bin body 411 and a movable cover 412 detachably connected to the bin body 411, and the movable cover 412 is provided with a liquid infusion port 413 and a liquid outlet port 414 which are connected to the interior of the bin body 411 and extend to the outside of the movable cover 412, and the liquid infusion branch pipe 422 and the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 respectively pass through the liquid infusion port 413 and the liquid outlet port 414 and extend to a position near the bottom of the inner side of the bin body 411.
[0046] In this embodiment, a limiting annular protrusion 415 with a diameter larger than that of the feed pipe and the liquid outlet pipe and extending upward is provided at a position on the movable cover plate 412 corresponding to the liquid replenishment port 413 and the liquid outlet port 414. The liquid replenishment branch pipe 422 sequentially passes through the liquid replenishment port 413 and the limiting annular protrusion 415 and extends to a position near the bottom of the inner side of the warehouse body 411.

[0047] In this embodiment, a drain pipe 417 communicating with the interior of each bin body 411 is disposed on the side near the bottom thereof, and a drain valve 418 is disposed on the drain pipe 417 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the control component 1 further includes an emergency stop button 15 and a frequency converter 16 , and the emergency stop button 15 and the frequency converter 16 are electrically connected to the PLC 11 , respectively.
[0049] In this embodiment, an exhaust component 6 is also included, and the exhaust component 6 includes an exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 61, an exhaust main pipe 62 and exhaust branch pipes 63 whose number is the same as the number of liquid outlet branch pipes 432. The two ends of the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 61 are respectively connected to the liquid replenishment main pipe 421 and the liquid outlet main pipe 431. An exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 64 is provided on the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 61.

[0050] In this embodiment, a weight measurement step is included, which is as follows: First, the upper and lower weight limits of the metering bin 41 are set.

Repeat the cycle until the measurement is completed, and the sum of the weights measured several times is the weight of the liquid to be measured.

[0056] The flow metering component 5 includes a liquid adding inlet pipe 51 and a liquid adding outlet pipe 52 which are interconnected, and a flow metering pipeline is formed between the liquid adding inlet pipe 51 and the liquid adding outlet pipe 52. A liquid adding control valve 53 and a liquid flow meter 54 are sequentially arranged on the flow metering pipeline along the liquid running direction, and the liquid adding control valve 53 and the liquid flow meter 54 are electrically connected to PLC11 respectively.
[0057] In this embodiment, when there are at least two metering bins 41, the fluid replenishment component 42 includes a fluid replenishment branch pipe 422 whose number is the same as the number of the metering bins 41 and a fluid replenishment main pipe 421 extending to the outside of the shell 3, one end of each of the fluid replenishment branch pipes 422 is respectively connected to each metering bin 41, and the other end of each of the fluid replenishment branch pipes 422 is connected to the fluid replenishment main pipe 421, and the number of the fluid replenishment control valves 44 is the same as the number of the metering bins 41 and is respectively arranged on each of the fluid replenishment branch pipes 422.

At least one exhaust valve 65 is provided on the exhaust main pipe 62.
[0064] In this embodiment, if weight measurement is performed, and the weight of the measured liquid is small and can be measured by one measuring bin 41, the measuring method is consistent with that in embodiment 1.
[0065] When the weight of the liquid to be measured is large and can be measured by multiple measuring bins 41, the multiple measuring bins 41 can be filled in sequence and then the liquid can be discharged. The sum of the weights measured by the multiple measuring bins 41 is the weight of the liquid to be measured.
[0066] If the weight of the measured liquid is too large and cannot be measured by the multiple metering bins 41 set up, or the weight of the measured liquid exceeds the upper limit of one metering bin 41, the method of replenishing liquid while discharging liquid can be used for measurement. In this case, there are at least two metering bins 41. The specific method is as follows: PLC11 controls the liquid replenishment control valve 44 on one of the liquid replenishment branches 422 to open, and replenishes liquid in the metering bin 41. When the corresponding metering bin 41 is replenished, PLC11 controls the corresponding liquid replenishment control valve 44 to close, and then controls the liquid replenishment control valve 44 located on another liquid replenishment branch 422 to open, and replenishes liquid in the second metering bin 41. Open the liquid outlet control valve 45 corresponding to the metering bin 41 that has completed the liquid replenishment to discharge liquid. Multiple metering bins 41 cooperate to achieve liquid inlet and liquid outlet, and complete the measurement of liquid. The weight of liquid measured by the weighing sensor 46 corresponding to the multiple metering bins 41 is the weight of liquid to be measured.
[0067] In the above two embodiments, the liquid pump is a suction pump or a centrifugal pump.
[0068] In the above two embodiments, the warehouse body 41 is provided with a limiting annular protrusion 415, which cooperates with the liquid infusion port 413 and the liquid outlet port 414 to fix the liquid infusion branch pipe 422 and the liquid outlet branch pipe 432, so that a gap 416 is formed between the liquid infusion branch pipe 422, the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 and the limiting annular protrusion 415, and the liquid infusion branch pipe 422 and the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 do not contact the warehouse body 41, thereby fully ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0069] In the above two embodiments, the arrangement of the drain pipe 417 and the drain valve 418 can drain the liquid in the bin body 411 to ensure the accuracy of the next measurement. The drain valve 418 is arranged as a manual valve and is opened manually according to actual use requirements.
[0070] In the above two embodiments, the setting of the emergency stop button 15 can stop the operation of the entire system when a problem occurs in the operation of the device, thereby ensuring the safety of the device.
[0071] In the above two embodiments, the inverter 16 can be set to control the inverter 16 through PLC11 according to the weight change fed back by the weighing sensor 46, and the inverter 16 changes the frequency to make the liquid pump motor run more smoothly. In practical applications, a contactor can also be used to control the start and stop of the liquid pump, but the contactor is not as stable as the inverter 16 in frequency conversion operation and has large vibration; therefore, the inverter 16 is more suitable for the above two embodiments.
[0072] In the above two embodiments, the weighing sensor 46 is mounted on the mounting base 2 through the sensor mounting plate 47. The arrangement of the sensor mounting plate 47 makes the contact between the weighing sensor 46 and the mounting base 2 and the metering bin 41 more stable, thus ensuring the accuracy of weighing.
[0073] In the above two embodiments, a buffer baffle 419 is provided at the bottom of the liquid infusion branch pipe 422. The buffer baffle 419 has a buffering effect on the liquid when the liquid enters the metering bin 41, thereby reducing the impact of the liquid's impact force on the metering result.
[0074] In the above two embodiments, a bottom valve 4110 is provided at the bottom of the liquid outlet branch pipe 432. The bottom valve 4110 is a one-way valve, which can prevent the liquid from flowing back after entering the liquid outlet branch pipe 432, thereby affecting the measurement result.
[0075] In the above two embodiments, the liquid adding inlet pipe 51 and the liquid adding outlet pipe 52 are connected through the first connecting pipe 55. According to the metering requirements, the liquid adding control valve 53 and the liquid flow meter 54 can be separately arranged on the liquid adding inlet pipe 51, the liquid adding outlet pipe 52 or the first connecting pipe 55, or all of them can be arranged on the liquid adding inlet pipe 51, the liquid adding outlet pipe 52 or the first connecting pipe 55. The arrangement of the first connecting pipe 55 can provide a certain buffer for the liquid, increase the flow time and distance of the liquid, and ensure the accuracy of the metering.
[0076] In the above two embodiments, the liquid replenishment control valve 44, the liquid outlet control valve 45 and the liquid adding control valve 53 are solenoid valves or pneumatic valves; the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 64 can be a solenoid valve, a pneumatic valve or a manual valve; when the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 64 is a solenoid valve or a pneumatic valve, it is electrically connected to PLC11.
[0077] In the above two embodiments, the number of the exhaust valve 65 is determined according to actual conditions and is set to at least one.
[0078] In the above two embodiments, a moving wheel 21 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 2, and a push handle 31 is provided on the housing 3 to facilitate the movement of the entire device.
[0079] In the above two embodiments, PLC11 is S7-200 SMART, Delta DVP series PLC or Mitsubishi FX series PLC, etc., which is used for logic program writing and input and output control; weighing module 12 is HBM series weighing module or Mettler-Toledo series weighing module, etc., which is used to convert the analog electrical signal of weighing sensor 46 into digital signal and send it to PLC11; weighing sensor 46 is AVIC Electric Measuring weighing sensor, HBM series weighing sensor or Mettler-Toledo series weighing sensor, which converts the weight of the object into analog electrical signal; liquid flow meter 54 is Emerson series liquid flow meter or E+H series liquid flow meter, which converts the pulse signal generated by the rotation of the impeller into electrical signal and sends it to PLC11 during the liquid flow process; motor control plug 14 is New Dawn explosion-proof plug, which is used to connect the control start and stop of liquid pump. PLC11, weighing module 12, weighing sensor 46, liquid flow meter 54 and motor control plug 14 are not limited to the above brands and models, and other brands and models that can achieve the same effect are applicable to the above two embodiments.
[0080] The above two embodiments also include a flow metering step, which is as follows: a liquid pump is respectively provided on the liquid adding inlet pipe 51 and the liquid adding outlet pipe 52 to assist the liquid flow. The motor of the liquid pump is connected to the motor control plug 14, and the PLC11 can control the start and stop of the liquid pump through the motor control plug 14. The PLC11 controls the liquid adding control valve 53 to open, and controls the liquid pumps provided on the liquid adding inlet pipe 51 and the liquid adding outlet pipe 52 to open, the liquid enters from the liquid adding inlet pipe 51, and is discharged from the liquid adding outlet pipe 52, the liquid flow meter 54 measures the liquid flow in real time, and outputs the measured liquid flow data to the PLC11, and the PLC11 displays the received liquid flow data on the display screen 13.
[0081] In the above two embodiments, an exhaust and liquid replenishment step is also included, which is specifically as follows: PLC11 controls the closing of the liquid replenishment control valve 44 and the liquid pump at the end of the liquid outlet main pipe 431, opens the liquid outlet control valve 45 and the liquid pump at the end of the liquid replenishment main pipe 421, controls the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 64 to open, or manually opens the exhaust and liquid replenishment control valve 64. Liquid enters from the liquid replenishment main pipe 421. Since the liquid replenishment control valve 44 and the liquid pump at the end of the liquid outlet main pipe 431 are closed, the liquid enters the liquid replenishment connecting pipe, and then enters the liquid outlet branch pipe 432 from the liquid outlet main pipe 431, and then enters the metering chamber 41. The entry of liquid squeezes the gas retained in the metering chamber 41 out of the metering chamber 41, and the gas enters the exhaust main pipe 62 through the exhaust branch pipe 63, and then is discharged by the exhaust valve 65. The purpose of exhaust and liquid replenishment is to exhaust the gas in the liquid outlet component 43 to ensure the accuracy of measurement. At the same time, if the liquid pump is a centrifugal pump, if there is air in the pipeline, the centrifugal pump cannot extract the liquid, so the exhaust and liquid replenishment step can also ensure the smooth operation of the centrifugal pump.
[0082] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
