[0046] According to the specific structure of a fully automatic feeding device for a mixer truck in the above embodiment, the working method of a fully automatic feeding device for a mixer truck will be further described below:

[0047] A. Shoveling materials:

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, when the stroke end of the lifting cylinder 23 retracts and the stroke end of the adjustment cylinder 27 extends, at this time, the bucket 30 is in a state with the opening facing forward. By moving the mixer truck forward, the materials are shoveled into the bucket 30;

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, when the stroke end of the lifting cylinder 23 retracts and the stroke end of the adjustment cylinder 27 retracts, at this time, the bucket 30 is in a state with the opening facing upward, so that the materials in the bucket 30 enter the discharge hopper 31;

[0050] Repeat the above steps to fill the bucket 30 and the discharge hopper 31 with materials.

[0051] As Figure 3 shown, when the stroke end of the lifting arm 21 extends and the stroke end of the adjustment cylinder 27 retracts, at this time, the lifting arm 21 rises and drives the bucket 30 and the discharge hopper 31 to rise. The adjustment arm 24 rotates to make the opening of the bucket 30 face upward and the discharge port of the discharge hopper 31 extend into the opening of the mixing tank 11.

[0052] B. Discharging materials:

[0053] As Figure 6 shown, the stroke end of the sealing hopper cylinder 36 retracts. At this time, the sealing plate 35 opens, and the materials in the bucket 30 and the discharging hopper 31 are discharged into the mixing tank 11 through the discharging chute;

[0054] Adjust the stroke end of the sealing hopper cylinder 36 multiple times to open and close the sealing plate 35 multiple times, driving the extension arm 351 to rotate, so as to discharge the materials in the conical head auxiliary discharging hopper 31.

[0055] The mixing tank 11 rotates to make the slideway 110 intermittently slide-connected with the slide bar 371: when the slideway 110 is in sliding contact with the slide bar 371, the end of the hinge rod 37 approaches the lower bottom plate of the discharging hopper 31, and the ejector rod 311 is pushed to make the ejector head push up the push plate 312 to assist in discharging the materials in the discharging hopper 31; when the slideway 110 is not in contact with the slide bar 371, under the action of the return spring 313, the end of the hinge rod 37 moves away from the lower bottom plate of the discharging hopper 31, and the ejector rod 311 is pulled back to its original state. At the moment when the slide bar 371 moves away from the slideway 110, under the action of the return spring 313, the end of the hinge rod 37 quickly moves away from the lower bottom plate of the discharging hopper 31, and the ejector rod 311 is quickly pulled back to its original state. The ejector head hits the lower bottom plate of the discharging hopper 31, and the vibration makes the materials in the bucket 30 and the discharging hopper 31 further discharged.

[0056] In summary, it is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the scope of the present invention. Through the above description, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications completely within the scope not deviating from the technical idea of this invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content in the specification. All equivalent changes and modifications in terms of the shape, structure, features and spirit described in the claims of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
