[0003] For the existing powder feeding equipment, it is usually combined with the assembly line. During processing, the assembly line drives the powder to be transferred to the bottom of the powder feeding equipment. The spiral feeder of the powder feeding equipment directly conveys the powder to the material tray through the feed nozzle, but it is easy to cause the powder height in different areas of the material tray to be inconsistent. In the subsequent processing (such as baking, calcining, etc.), it is easy to affect the processing effect of the powder, and then affect the quality of the product, causing trouble to the production enterprise. In order to solve this problem, some production enterprises will use manual scraping to flatten the powder on the material tray, but this will increase labor costs and reduce the economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0034] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The positioning device 50 includes a chassis 51, two positioning mechanisms 52 mounted on the chassis 51 and arranged opposite to each other, a linkage shaft 53 connecting the two positioning mechanisms 52, an electric cylinder 54 respectively mounted on the chassis 51 and the linkage shaft 53, two support plates 55 respectively mounted on the two positioning mechanisms 52, a plurality of support members 57 and two limit plates 56 respectively mounted on the two support plates 55, and a side push mechanism 58 mounted on one of the support plates 55. When placing the transfer box 90, the transfer box 90 is pressed down on the support members 57 mounted on the two support plates 55. During the pressing process of the transfer box 90, the limit plates guide the transfer box 90, and the side push mechanism 58 corrects the position of the transfer box 90. The electric cylinder 54 drives the two positioning mechanisms 52 to expand and contract through the linkage shaft 53, so that the positioning mechanism 52 and the support plates 55 mounted on the positioning mechanism 52 can be adjusted in height.
[0035] Specifically, the two limit plates 56 are arranged opposite to each other, and the upper ends of the limit plates 56 are inclined outward, so that an introduction surface 561 is formed on the inner side of the upper ends of the limit plates 56. The introduction surface 561 can guide the transfer box 90, and the transfer box 90 is pressed down between the two limit plates 56. The limit plate 56 on the same side as the side thrust mechanism 58 is also provided with a side thrust port 912. The side thrust mechanism 58 includes a side thrust cylinder 581 and a side thrust plate 582 connected to the side thrust cylinder 581. The side thrust cylinder 581 drives the side thrust plate 582 to push forward or shift backward. When the side thrust cylinder 581 drives the side thrust plate 582 to shift backward, the side thrust plate 582 moves to the outer side of the limit plate. When the side thrust cylinder 581 drives the side thrust plate 582 to push forward, the side thrust plate 582 extends from the side thrust opening 912 and squeezes the transfer box 90, so that the transfer box 90 is completely fitted with the limit plate 56 away from the side thrust mechanism 58, thereby realizing the position correction of the transfer box 90. In this embodiment, the support member 57 is a bull's eye bearing. In the process of position correction of the transfer box 90, the bull's eye bearing is used to support the transfer box 90, which can effectively reduce friction.
[0036] The boosting device 60 includes a positioning frame 61, a positioning plate 62 installed on the positioning frame 61, two slide rails 63 installed on the positioning plate 62, an adjustment block 64 slidably arranged on the two slide rails 63, a push plate 65 installed on the adjustment block 64, a push head 66 and a push plate assembly 68 installed on the push plate 65, and a push plate cylinder 67 installed on the positioning plate 62 and connected to the push head 66. The push plate assembly 68 includes a plurality of driven wheels 681 rotatably installed on the push plate 65, a push plate motor 682 installed on the push plate 65 and passing through the push plate 65, a driving wheel 683 installed on the push plate motor 682, and a push belt 684 sleeved on the driving wheel 683 and the driven wheel 681. The push belt 684 forms a mating surface 685 on the side of the transfer box 90, and the mating surface 685 is arranged opposite to the side push port 912 on the transfer box 90, and the height of the mating surface 685 is consistent with the height of the material tray 100 on the material tray conveying equipment 10.
[0037] When the material tray 100 is pushed from the transfer box 90 into the material tray conveying equipment 10, the pushing plate cylinder 67 of the two boosting devices 60 drives the pushing plate 65, the adjusting block 64 and the pushing plate assembly 68 to adjust forward, so that the matching surfaces 685 on the two pushing belts 684 extend from the side pushing port 912 and fit with the two sides of the material tray 100, and the pushing plate motor 682 drives the pushing belt 684 to rotate through the driving wheel 683 and the driven wheel 681, so that the matching surface 685 on the pushing belt 684 drives the material tray 100 to flow into the material tray conveying equipment 10. On the contrary, when it is necessary to push the material tray 100 from the material tray conveying device 10 into the transfer box 90, the front end of the material tray 100 flowing out of the material tray conveying device 10 initially flows into the transfer box 90, and the push plate cylinder 67 of the two booster devices 60 drives the push plate 65, the adjustment block 64 and the push plate assembly 68 to adjust forward, so that the matching surface 685 on the push belt 684 extends from the side push port 912 and fits with the material tray 100, and the push plate motor 682 drives the push belt 684 to rotate through the driving wheel 683 and the driven wheel 681, so that the matching surface 685 on the push belt 684 drives the material tray 100 to further flow into the transfer box 90.
[0038] Each of the positioning mechanisms 52 comprises two guide rails 521, two sliders 522 respectively slidably mounted on the two guide rails 521, a first linkage seat 523 mounted on the two sliders 522, two second linkage seats 524, two cross-arranged positioning rods 525, and a plurality of rotating shafts for auxiliary fixing, the two guide rails 521 are respectively mounted on the chassis 51 and the support plate 55, the two first linkage seats 523 are aligned in the vertical direction, the two second linkage seats 524 are aligned in the vertical direction, and the two first linkage seats 523 and the two second linkage seats 524 form a square structure. The two cross-positioning rods 525 form four end portions 5251, and the four end portions 5251 are respectively aligned with the two first linkage seats 523 and the two second linkage seats 524 in the horizontal direction. The rotating shaft is divided into a first rotating shaft 526, a second rotating shaft 527 and a third rotating shaft 528, wherein the first rotating shaft 526 passes through the intersection of the two adjusting rods 525 at the same time, and the two adjusting rods 525 can rotate around the axis of the first rotating shaft 526, so that the two adjusting rods 525 can be adjusted in angle, the second rotating shaft 527 passes through the end portions 5251 of the adjusting rods 525 aligned with each other and the first linkage seat 523 at the same time, and the third rotating shaft 528 passes through the end portions 5251 of the adjusting rods 525 aligned with each other and the second linkage seat 524 at the same time, and the adjusting rods 525 can be adjusted in angle on the first linkage seat 523 and the second linkage seat 524.
[0039] In addition, the linkage shaft 53 is connected to the sliders 522 on the two positioning mechanisms 52. During the telescopic positioning process, the electric rod drives the sliders 522 of the two positioning mechanisms 52 and the first linkage seat 523 installed on the slider 522 to slide along the guide rail 521 through the linkage shaft 53. During the movement of the first linkage seat 523, the two positioning rods 525 of the positioning mechanism 52 are driven to adjust the angle. The other slider 522 and the other first linkage seat 523 are horizontally adjusted along the other guide rail 521. When the angle between the two positioning rods 525 increases, the height of the upper ends of the two positioning rods 525 moves downward, and the height of the support plate 55 and the transfer box 90 also moves downward synchronously. Conversely, when the angle between the two positioning rods 525 decreases, the height of the upper ends of the two positioning rods 525 moves upward, and the height of the support plate 55 and the transfer box 90 also moves upward synchronously.

[0043] See also Figure 7 , Fig.10 The present invention further includes a lifting mechanism 70 and a weighing module 80, which are arranged in the rear end of the chassis 11. The lifting mechanism 70 is a cylinder, and the lifting mechanism 70 drives the weighing module 80 to adjust the position in the vertical direction, so that the top surface of the weighing module 80 extends above the assembly line 12 or moves down to a position below the upper end surface of the assembly line 12.
[0044] The working process of the fully automatic powder spreading production line of the present invention is described in detail below:
[0045] The AGV trolley transfers a transfer box 90 loaded with empty trays 100 to the pushing device 20 at the front side, and the side push mechanism 58 corrects the position of the transfer box 90, the opening part of which is opposite to the tray conveying device 10, and transfers another empty transfer box 90 to the pushing device 20 at the rear side, and the side push mechanism 58 of the pushing device 20 corrects the position of the transfer box 90.
[0046] When the material tray 100 is pushed into the material tray conveying device 10, the first compartment door 13 of the material tray conveying device 10 is opened, and the positioning device 50 drives the transfer box 90 on the front side to adjust upward layer by layer. After each adjustment, the height of a material tray 100 in the transfer box 90 is flush with the pushing belt 684 of the boosting device 60 and the matching surface 685 on the pushing belt 684. The boosting device 60 pushes the material tray 100 into the material tray conveying device 10, and then closes the first compartment door 13.
[0047] When the tray 100 is filled, the assembly line 12 of the tray conveying device 10 drives the tray 100 to continuously shift forward. When the tray 100 reaches the set position and is detected by the sensor, the first feeding device 30A opens the pneumatic butterfly valve 33, and the first feeding device 30A spreads a certain amount of powder in the tray 100 through the feeding nozzle 34 to form a bottom layer. The first adjustment cylinder 411 of the first scraper assembly 41 drives the first scraper 412 to adjust downward, and the first scraper 412 performs preliminary scraping of the powder on the bottom layer. The first scraper 412 with a serrated bottom can make the powder on the bottom layer spread more evenly and prevent cavities from forming inside the powder. When the tray 100 continuously shifts forward to the bottom of the second feeding device 30B, the second feeding device 30B opens the pneumatic butterfly valve 33, and the second feeding device 30B spreads a certain amount of powder in the tray 100 through the feeding nozzle 34 to form a surface layer. During the continuous forward movement, the second positioning cylinder 421 of the second scraper assembly 42 drives the second scraper 422 to adjust downward, and the second scraper 422 scrapes the powder on the surface flat, and the third positioning cylinder 431 drives the roller 33 to press down, and the roller 33 compacts the powder in the material tray 100. After the first scraper 412, the second scraper 422 and the roller 33 complete scraping or pressing, the first adjustment cylinder 411, the second adjustment cylinder 421, and the third adjustment cylinder 431 respectively drive the first scraper 412, the second scraper 422 and the roller 33 to lift up for avoidance. When the material tray 100 filled with powder moves to the upper position of the weighing module 80, the lifting mechanism 70 drives the weighing module 80 to lift up and rest against the bottom of the material tray 100, and the material tray 100 is detached from the assembly line 12. The weighing module 80 weighs the powder in the material tray 100. If the weight is unqualified, the assembly line 12 drives the material tray 100 back to the bottom of the feed nozzle 34 of the second feeding device 30B to continue to replenish the material. The second scraper 422 and the roller 33 scrape and press the material again. If the weight is qualified, the assembly line 12 drives the material tray 100 to move to a position close to the second bin door 14 and open the second bin door 14.
[0048] When the material tray 100 is pushed into the transfer box 90 at the rear, the positioning device 50 drives the transfer box 90 at the rear side to adjust downward layer by layer. After each adjustment, a group of roller bars 92 in the transfer box 90 are flush with the pushing belt 684 of the boosting device 60 and the matching surface 685 on the pushing belt 684. The front end of the material tray 100 flowing out of the material tray conveying equipment 10 initially flows into the transfer box 90, and the boosting device 60 drives the material tray 100 to further flow into the transfer box 90.
[0049] The beneficial effect of the fully automatic powder spreading production line of the present invention is that: by setting a tray conveying device 10, a feeding device 30 and a scraping device 40, the scraping device 40 includes a first scraping component 41, a second scraping component 42 and a pressing component 43, the number of the feeding devices 30 is two, and the two feeding devices 30 are divided into a first feeding device 30A and a second feeding device 30B. The first feeding device 30A spreads a certain amount of powder in the tray 100 through a feeding nozzle 34 to form a bottom spread, and the first The scraper 412 performs preliminary leveling of the powder on the bottom, and the second feeding device 30B spreads a certain amount of powder in the material tray 100 through the feeding nozzle 34 to form a surface layer. The second scraper 422 levels the powder on the surface, and the roller 33 compacts the powder in the material tray 100, thereby ensuring that the powder is highly level in different areas of the material tray 100, effectively ensuring the processing effect in the post-processing section of the powder, and the fully automatic powder spreading production line has a high level of automation in the entire production process, effectively saving labor costs.
