[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0043] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0044] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used to refer to positions or locations based on those shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended solely to facilitate description and simplify operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0045] The present invention provides a liquid conveying device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the material-liquid conveying device includes a cover body 10, a material feeding assembly 20 and an air inlet joint 30; wherein the cover body 10 can be connected to the material barrel 100, and the cover body 10 is provided with a material guide hole and an air inlet hole; the material feeding assembly 20 includes a material feeding pipe 21 and a material discharge pipe 22, and the material feeding pipe 21 and the material discharge pipe 22 are respectively located on both sides of the cover body 10, and are both connected to the material guide hole; the other end of the material discharge pipe 22 is connected to the material tank, and when the cover body 10 is connected to the material barrel 100, the material feeding pipe 21 can be immersed in the material liquid 200 in the material barrel 100; the air inlet joint 30 is arranged on the same side as the material discharge pipe 22, and the air inlet joint 30 is connected to the air inlet hole at one end, and the other end is used to connect to the gas source, so that the gas in the gas source can pass into the material barrel 100 and press the material liquid 200 into the material discharge pipe 22.

[0046] When using this device to convey the liquid material 200, the gas passing through the air inlet connector 30 can enter the barrel 100 through the air inlet hole, thereby gradually increasing the air pressure in the barrel 100, and then pressurizing the liquid material 200 into the delivery pipe 21. As the air pressure continues to increase, the liquid material 200 can enter the discharge pipe 22 through the guide hole and be discharged through the discharge pipe 22. This device is not only simple in structure and easy to use, but also can directly pressurize the liquid material 200 in the barrel 100 into the discharge pipe 22 through gas pressure, and then discharge it into other devices or containers through the discharge pipe 22. It does not require the participation of a diaphragm pump, has low energy consumption, and is quiet.

[0047] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the feed assembly 20 also includes a feed guide connector 23, which is used to connect the feed pipe 21 to the feed guide hole. The feed pipe 21 and the feed guide connector 23 are detachably connected. The provision of the feed guide connector 23 improves the convenience of installing the feed pipe 21 and reduces the difficulty of installation and use. Furthermore, the detachable connection facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement of the feed pipe 21 and facilitates adjusting the length of the feed pipe 21 according to the depth of the barrel 100.

[0048] It should be noted that the feed pipe 21 and the material guide joint 23 are connected by a throat clamp, which is not only easy to install, but also highly adaptable, firm and reliable, and has good sealing performance at the connection, which can effectively prevent liquid leakage. In addition, it has the advantages of easy maintenance and low cost.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] On the basis of the above, if Figure 4 As shown, the feed pipe 21 is a flexible hose. The hose is easy to store, highly flexible, quick to use, and has excellent vibration and impact resistance. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the feed pipe 21 is made of PVC, which is chemically stable and inexpensive, effectively controlling costs and reducing manufacturing complexity.

[0051] Considering that the liquid 200 has a certain resistance, it is not convenient to immerse the hose directly into the bottom of the liquid 200 when in use. To solve this problem, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feed assembly 20 also includes a counterweight tube 24, which is connected to the end of the feed pipe 21 away from the material guide joint 23. In this structure, the counterweight tube 24 can act as a counterweight. Since its density is greater than the density of the liquid 200, it can drive the feed pipe 21 to the bottom end of the barrel 100 after being immersed in the liquid 200, thereby being able to start conveying the liquid 200 from the bottom end. At the same time, it can also prevent the feed pipe 21 from floating above the liquid surface and being unable to convey the liquid smoothly, ensuring a good use effect. It should be noted here that in this embodiment, the feed pipe 21 and the counterweight tube 24 are also connected by a throat clamp.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the end of the counterweight tube 24 away from the feeding pipe 21 is provided with a tapered notch 241. By providing this tapered notch 241, the liquid inlet speed of the feed liquid 200 into the feeding pipe 21 can be increased, thereby ensuring the liquid delivery efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cover 10 is provided with a connecting thread 11, which can be threadedly matched with the barrel 100. That is, when it is necessary to use this device to convey the liquid material 200, it is only necessary to screw the cover 10 onto the material opening 110 of the barrel 100. At this time, under the action of the counterweight tube 24, the material delivery tube 21 can be immersed to the bottom end of the barrel 100, and then gas can be introduced into the barrel 100 through the air inlet connector 30 to achieve direct conveyance of the liquid material 200. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0054] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a screw handle 12 is provided on the side of the cover 10 facing away from the connecting thread 11. When installing the device, the cover 10 can be attached to the bucket 100 by rotating the screw handle 12. After use, the cover 10 can be removed from the bucket 100 by rotating the screw handle 12 in the opposite direction. This simple structure and easy operation save time and effort, while also improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] On the basis of the above, if Figure 5 As shown, the feed pipe 21 is a straight metal tube. This configuration facilitates the insertion of the feed pipe 21 into the liquid 200 while also preventing clogging caused by bending. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the feed pipe 21 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel offers high strength, stability, and corrosion resistance, effectively extending its service life.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the feed pipe 21 is also connected to a counterweight tube 24 through a throat clamp. The counterweight tube 24 can increase the weight of the feed pipe 21 to prevent the feed pipe 21 from shaking. At the same time, since a conical notch 241 is provided at the end of the counterweight tube 24, the infusion speed and efficiency can also be improved.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cover 10 is directly welded to the barrel 100. Figure 5 As shown, the material liquid 200 can be poured into the material barrel 100 at the material port 110. This device is welded to the material barrel 100 through the cover body 10, and the device and the material barrel 100 form a whole. When in use, it can be directly connected to the gas source and the external material tank without disassembly.

[0059] What needs to be considered here is that, in this embodiment, since the device and the barrel 100 form an integral whole, they need to be transported and moved together with the barrel 100. Long-term transportation can easily cause the air inlet connector 30 and the discharge pipe 22 to bend or break, which will affect subsequent use. To solve this problem, Figure 5 As shown, a guardrail 13 is provided along the circumference of the cover 10 on the side facing away from the barrel 100. That is, the air inlet connector 30 and the discharge pipe 22 are located in the center of the cover 10. The guardrail 13 on the outer periphery of the cover 10 can protect the air inlet connector 30 and the discharge pipe 22, thereby preventing bending and increasing service life.

[0060] In addition, based on the first and second embodiments, a liquid conveying device is also provided. Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the device includes an air source, a barrel 100, a delivery pipe 300, and a liquid-feeding device; the barrel 100 contains liquid 200; the delivery pipe 300 includes a liquid-feeding pipe 310 and an air inlet pipe 320; the cover 10 of the liquid-feeding device is mounted on the barrel 100, the delivery pipe 21 is immersed in the liquid 200, the liquid-feeding pipe 310 is used to connect the discharge pipe 22 with the external tank, and the air inlet pipe 320 is used to connect the air source with the air inlet connector 30. This device is based on the liquid-feeding devices of Examples 1 and 2, and can simplify the overall delivery system structure, reduce maintenance difficulty, and improve delivery efficiency.

[0061] It should be noted that if Figure 5 As described above, when the liquid-feeding device in Example 2 is used, the inner bottom of the barrel 100 is arc-shaped, and the delivery pipe 21 is located exactly at the center of the top of the barrel 100; that is, as the liquid-feeding 200 continues to decrease, the tailings can continue to sink to the bottom of the arc under the action of gravity and gather at the center of the arc. At this time, the end of the delivery pipe 21 is exactly at the center of the circle, and the tailings can continue to be extracted without opening the cover 10 or changing the position of the delivery pipe 21, which further ensures the convenience and feasibility of use.

[0062] The following drawings illustrate the working process of the liquid conveying device and the liquid conveying equipment:

[0063] When using the liquid material conveying device in Example 1, first screw the handle 12 to form a threaded fit between the cover body 10 and the barrel 100. Under the action of the counterweight tube 24, the feed pipe 21 can be immersed in the bottom end of the liquid material 200; then connect the liquid material conveying pipe 310 to the discharge pipe 22 through a quick connector, and connect the air inlet pipe 320 to the air inlet joint 30 through a quick connector; then open the gas source valve to allow the gas to enter the barrel 100 through the air inlet pipe 320 and the air inlet joint 30. As the internal pressure of the barrel 100 continues to increase, the liquid material 200 can pass through the feed pipe 21, the discharge pipe 22 and the liquid material conveying pipe 310 in turn, and finally enter the external material tank.

[0064] When using the liquid material conveying device in Example 2, the cover body 10 is welded to the barrel 100, and the stainless steel material conveying pipe 21 is directly inserted into the bottom of the liquid material 200, and then the liquid material conveying pipe 310 is connected to the discharge pipe 22 through a quick plug connector, and the air inlet pipe 320 is connected to the air inlet connector 30 through a quick plug connector; then the gas source valve is opened to allow the gas to enter the barrel 100 through the air inlet pipe 320 and the air inlet connector 30. As the internal pressure of the barrel 100 continues to increase, the liquid material 200 can pass through the conveying pipe 21, the discharge pipe 22 and the liquid material conveying pipe 310 in turn, and finally enter the external material tank; and as the liquid level continues to drop, the tail liquid can accumulate at the arc-shaped bottom of the barrel 100, and then the conveying pipe 21 can continuously suck the liquid material 200.

[0065] To sum up, the liquid material conveying device can make the liquid material 200 enter the material tank directly from the barrel 100 without pumping, with a simple structure, low energy consumption and low noise; the liquid material conveying equipment simplifies the overall conveying system structure, reduces maintenance difficulty and improves conveying efficiency.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
