[0036] A discharge port is provided below the top of the pipe 51 , and two groups of feed ports corresponding to the cavity 53 are provided on the top of the feed bin 52 .

When solid materials are fed separately, the sleeve disc 76 is pulled to move by the second electric telescopic rod 78, and the sleeve disc 76 is disengaged from the connector 79, and then the second bevel gear 77 is moved and separated, and the transportation of liquid materials is stopped.

[0042] As an implementation method, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 includes a cylinder 31 installed inside the base plate 2, and a mounting frame 32 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 31. The mounting frame 32 is slidably installed inside the base plate 2, and the top end of the mounting frame 32 is movably connected to one end of the frame 1.

[0043] Among them, one end of the frame 1 is movably connected with a discharge plate 8, and the other end of the frame 1 is installed with an arc plate 9. When the lifting component 3 is adjusted to the maximum angle, the whole is discharged, and the discharge function of the solid material is performed through the discharge plate 8.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the angle of the rack 1 needs to be adjusted, the cylinder 31 pushes the mounting frame 32 inside the base plate 1 to drive the mounting frame 32 to rise, and the mounting frame 32 drives one end of the rack 1 to rise, thereby changing the angle of the rack 1.

[0045] Working principle: When solid and liquid materials need to be loaded, the mounting frame 32 inside the bottom plate 1 is first pushed by the cylinder 31 to drive the mounting frame 32 to rise, and the mounting frame 32 drives one end of the frame 1 to rise, thereby changing the angle of the frame 1, fixing the loading angle of the frame 1, and transmitting the solid material through the conveying roller 41, while the liquid material is placed in the feeding bin 52 for transmission;

[0046] When solid materials need to be fed, the transmission shaft 62 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 61, and the annular sleeve 72 outside the transmission shaft 62 drives the large gear 73 to rotate. After the large gear 73 is meshed with the small gear 42, the conveying roller 41 is driven to rotate. The sprocket 43 installed at the other end of the conveying roller 41 is connected through the chain 44 between the sprockets 43 at one end of the conveying roller 41, thereby driving the entire group of conveying rollers 41 to rotate and convey the solid materials;

[0047] When it is necessary to feed the liquid material separately, when the servo motor 61 drives the transmission shaft 62 to rotate, the liquid material is stored in the cavity 53 of the feed bin 52 through the feed port, and after the connector 79 of the transmission shaft 62 is combined with the sleeve plate 76, the first bevel gear 58 is meshed with the second bevel gear 77, driving the rotating shaft 55 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 55 drives the spiral blade shaft 54 ​​to rotate through the synchronous disk 56, and the spiral blade shaft 54 ​​causes the liquid or powder material in the cavity 53 and the pipeline 51 to be spirally transmitted and discharged through the discharge port;

[0048] When solid or liquid materials need to be fed separately, when liquid materials are fed separately, the sleeve plate 74 is pulled to move by the first electric telescopic rod 75, and the sleeve plate 74 pulls the annular sleeve 72 and the large gear 73 to move, so that the large gear 73 is separated from the small gear 42, and the transportation of solid materials is stopped. When solid materials are fed separately, the sleeve disc 76 is pulled to move by the second electric telescopic rod 78, and the sleeve disc 76 is separated from the plug-in component 79, so that the second bevel gear 77 moves and separates, and the spiral blade shaft 54 ​​stops rotating, thereby stopping the transportation of liquid materials.

[0049] When solid and liquid materials need to be fed simultaneously, the first electric telescopic rod 75 and the second electric telescopic rod 78 are kept in an open state, the large gear 73 is meshed with the small gear 42, and the first bevel gear 58 is meshed with the second bevel gear 77, so that the transmission member 4 and the feeding member 5 work simultaneously.

[0050] When solid and liquid intermittent feeding is required, the feeding is completed by continuously switching the switching mechanism 7 inside the driving device 6, and the first electric telescopic rod 75 and the second electric telescopic rod 78 are controlled to perform cross-loading, thereby being able to adapt to a variety of feeding methods and meet production needs.

[0051] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.
