Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of paint formulation technology, and more particularly to an additive mixing station. Background Technology

[0002] Paint mixing and additive batching stations are key facilities specifically designed for the precise proportioning and mixing of various additives to produce high-quality paints. By integrating advanced metering systems, efficient mixing equipment, and intelligent control systems, they ensure that each raw material and additive is added in strictly defined proportions. This high-precision batching method not only improves the performance of paint products, such as adhesion, leveling, weather resistance, and gloss, but also effectively guarantees the consistency and stability of product quality.

[0003] In practical applications, existing additive batching stations typically employ multiple independent power units to control the movement and operation of each batching head. While this design can achieve synchronous batching of multi-component materials to some extent, the presence of multiple power units increases the overall structural complexity of the equipment, raises maintenance difficulty and manufacturing costs, and occupies more space, hindering compact production line layout and automation upgrades.

Furthermore, in the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-9This invention provides an additive dispensing station, including a base 101, a support frame 102 and a door panel 103, multiple dispensing head assemblies 104, a moving structure 105, and a receiving assembly 106. The support frame 102 is fixed above the base 101, and the base 101 is provided with a discharge hole. The door panel 103 is rotatably disposed on one side of the support frame 102. The dispensing head assembly 104 includes a feeder 107, a dispensing head body 108, a rotating head 109, a connecting rod 110, and a permanent magnet 111. The rotating head 109 is rotatably disposed on the top of the support frame 102, and the dispensing head body 108 is fixed on the rotating head 109. The connecting rod 110 is rotatably connected to the dispensing head body 108. The permanent magnet 111 is disposed on the connecting rod 110. The feeder 107 is connected to the dispensing head body 108. Multiple dispensing head assemblies 104 are distributed on the support frame 102 along the same axis. The moving structure 105 includes a lifter 112, a connecting plate 113, and multiple electromagnet units 114. The lifter 112 is disposed on the axis of the multiple dispensing head assemblies 104. The connecting plate 113 is connected to the output end of the lifter 112. The multiple electromagnet units 114 are distributed on the connecting plate 113. The receiving assembly 106 is disposed below the discharge hole.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 101 serves as the foundation of the entire device; the support frame 102 is fixedly installed above the base 101, providing a stable working platform for the operation of the batching system; a discharge hole is provided on the base 101, which facilitates the batching head assembly 104 to put raw materials into the receiving assembly 106; and the door panel 103 is rotatably mounted on one side of the support frame 102, which facilitates the maintenance or cleaning of the inside of the equipment.

[0035] The rotating head 109 is rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame 102, allowing the dispensing head body 108 to rotate above the discharge port during use. The dispensing head body 108 is fixed to the rotating head 109 and connected to the feeder 107 for receiving and metering the required additive materials. The connecting rod 110 is rotatably connected to the dispensing head body 108, and a permanent magnet 111 is mounted on the connecting rod 110 for interacting with the electromagnet unit 114 below to control the dispensing head assembly 104.

[0036] Specifically, when it is necessary to control a certain batching head assembly 104, the electromagnet corresponding to the batching head assembly 104 is activated, so that the permanent magnet 111 is connected to the electromagnet. Then, the lifting device 112 is activated to drive the connecting plate 113 to move down, thereby driving the connecting rod 110 to rotate. At the same time, the batching head body 108 is driven to rotate to move closer to the central axis. This allows the required batching head body 108 to be easily driven together by a lifting structure, and the raw materials are put into the receiving assembly 106 for mixing and storage through the discharge hole. This makes the control more convenient and improves the work efficiency.

[0037] The feeder 107 includes a raw material box 115, a feeding pipe 116, and a support frame 117. The raw material box 115 is located on one side of the base 101. The feeding pipe 116 is connected to the raw material box 115 and the batching head body 108. The support frame 117 is used to support the feeding pipe 116.

[0038] The raw material bin 115 is located on one side of the base 101 and is used to store the auxiliary raw materials to be added, facilitating the addition of materials manually or mechanically, while avoiding interference with the operation of the main equipment. One end of the feeding pipe 116 is connected to the raw material bin 115, and the other end is connected to the dispensing head body 108, serving as a channel for conveying the auxiliary material from the raw material bin 115 to the dispensing head assembly 104. The internal structure of the feeding pipe 116 is smooth, reducing material flow resistance and ensuring smooth delivery of the auxiliary material, avoiding blockages or residues. To ensure the stability and safety of the feeding pipe 116 during operation, the support frame 117 is fixed to the base 101 and effectively supports the feeding pipe 116, preventing displacement or breakage due to gravity or vibration.

[0039] The feed head body 108 includes a feed pipe 118, a housing 119, a feed chamber 120, a one-way valve 121, and a gear pump 122. The feed pipe 118 is connected to the feed pipe 116. The housing 119 has a feed chamber 120, which is connected to the feed pipe 118. The one-way valve 121 is located on one side of the feed chamber 120, and the gear pump 122 is located inside the housing 119.

[0040] The feed pipe 118 is used to introduce raw materials from the feeder 107 into the batching head body 108. The position of the feed pipe 118 can be limited by a spring. One end of the feed pipe 118 is connected to the feeding pipe 116, and the other end is connected to the feed chamber 120 located inside the outer casing 119. The outer casing 119 is the main structure of the entire batching head body 108, and has an independent feed chamber 120 inside. The feed chamber 120 serves as a transition space before the material enters the gear pump 122, ensuring uniform and stable material flow and avoiding the occurrence of air bubbles or flow interruption. A one-way valve 121 is provided on one side of the feed chamber 120, which prevents backflow of material during the conveying process, thereby ensuring batching accuracy and system operation stability. The gear pump 122 is installed inside the outer casing 119, located after the feed chamber 120. As the core metering and conveying device, it realizes the quantitative extraction and output of additives through high-precision meshing rotation. The power source of the gear pump 122 can be driven by an external motor or controlled by an integrated micro drive mechanism, and it has the advantages of convenient flow adjustment, fast response speed and small metering error.

[0041] The dispensing head body 108 also includes a suction pipe 123, and the outer shell 119 also has a discharge chamber, which is connected to the suction pipe 123.

[0042] When the material feed inside the housing 119 becomes blocked, the suction pipe 123 can be activated to generate negative pressure in the suction pipe 123, thereby sucking out the blocked material and avoiding affecting the discharge accuracy.

[0043] The dispensing head body 108 also includes a pressure regulating valve 124, which is connected to the outer shell 119.

[0044] In addition, the feeding head body 108 is also equipped with a pressure regulating valve 124, which is connected to the outer shell 119 and forms a linkage control with the feeding chamber 120 or the discharge chamber. The pressure regulating valve 124 can automatically or manually adjust the internal pressure of the system according to the actual working conditions to maintain a stable discharge speed and accuracy, while also protecting the equipment and preventing overload.

[0045] The connecting rod 110 includes a connecting rod body 125 and a limiting protrusion 126. The connecting rod body 125 is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet 111, and the limiting protrusion 126 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod body 125. A limiting groove 137 is provided on the connecting plate 113. When the connecting plate 113 drives the connecting rod body 125 to rotate, the limiting protrusion 126 enters the limiting groove 137.

[0046] One end of the connecting rod body 125 is rotatably connected to the dispensing head body 108 via a rotating shaft, allowing the dispensing head assembly 104 to rotate flexibly within a certain range. A limiting protrusion 126 is fixedly provided on the connecting rod body 125. This limiting protrusion 126 serves as a mechanical limiting component, used to achieve angular positioning and movement restriction during the rotation of the dispensing head assembly 104. The shape and size of the limiting protrusion 126 are designed according to actual needs to ensure that it can accurately enter the limiting groove 137 provided on the connecting plate 113 during rotation, thereby better maintaining stability through mechanical limiting during downward movement.

[0047] Specifically, when the lifting device 112 drives the connecting plate 113 to move downward, the electromagnet unit 114 will magnetically attract the permanent magnet 111 on the connecting rod 110 to connect, causing the connecting rod body 125 to rotate. During the rotation, as the connecting rod body 125 rotates, the limiting protrusion 126 will gradually enter the corresponding limiting groove 137, thereby achieving precise positioning and angle locking of the dispensing head assembly 104, preventing it from shifting due to vibration or external force during operation, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the dispensing process.

[0048] The base 101 has a receiving groove 127, which is close to the dispensing head assembly 104.

[0049] The receiving trough 127 is disposed on the base 101 and located near the lower part of the dispensing head assembly 104. The receiving trough 127 is mainly used to receive the auxiliary materials initially discharged from the dispensing head body 108, preventing material splashing or leakage during the dispensing process, thereby maintaining a clean and safe working environment.

[0050] The connecting plate 113 has a receiving groove 128, and a limiting block is slidably arranged in the receiving groove 128. An elastic element is provided on one side of the limiting block. When the connecting rod 110 moves down, the feed pipe 118 enters the receiving groove 128, and the limiting block provides auxiliary limiting for the feed pipe 118.

[0051] When the connecting rod 110 moves the dispensing head assembly 104 downward under the action of the lifting device 112, the feed pipe 118 on the dispensing head body 108 enters the receiving groove 128 in the connecting plate 113. At this time, the feed pipe 118 pushes the limiting block to slide to one side against the elastic force of the elastic element, thereby realizing the insertion action of the feed pipe 118. Once the feed pipe 118 is fully inserted into the receiving groove 128, the limiting block rebounds under the action of the elastic element and fits against the outer wall of the feed pipe 118, playing an auxiliary limiting and fixing role, ensuring a stable connection between the feed pipe 118 and the gear pump 122 or the feeding system.

[0052] The receiving assembly 106 includes a guide rail 129, a cylinder 130, a support plate 131, and a clamping plate 132. The guide rail 129 is fixed below the discharge hole. The support plate 131 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 129. The clamping plate 132 is slidably disposed on the support plate 131. The output end of the cylinder 130 is connected to the support plate 131.

[0053] The guide rail 129 is fixedly mounted on the base 101 and located directly below the discharge hole. It serves as a guide structure for the movement of the support plate 131, ensuring that the receiving assembly 106 can be accurately aligned with the discharge port of the dispensing head body 108.

[0054] The support plate 131 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 129 and can reciprocate linearly along the guide rail 129 under the drive of the cylinder 130, thereby switching between the receiving position and the non-working position. The support plate 131 has a robust overall structure and its surface is treated with rust prevention, giving it good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength to ensure long-term stability.

[0055] A slidingly connected clamping plate 132 is provided on the support plate 131. The clamping plate 132 can be slidably adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the guide rail 129 to clamp receiving containers (such as material buckets or receiving boxes) of different sizes and specifications. The clamping plates 132 are usually set in pairs, and the spacing can be adjusted manually or automatically to accommodate various container shapes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0056] The cylinder 130 serves as a driving element, with its fixed end mounted on the base 101 or bracket, and its output end connected to the support plate 131. Precise displacement of the support plate 131 is achieved through air pressure control.

[0057] The additive batching station also includes a control component, which includes a work order data reading module, a raw material ratio generation module, a cylinder control module, and a batching module. The work order data reading module is used to acquire the batching data of each raw material in the paint work order. The raw material ratio generation module is used to generate the required batching amount for each batching head component 104 based on the batching data. The batching module is used to control the corresponding batching head component 104 to feed the raw material based on the batching amount. The cylinder control module is used to control the support plate 131 to drive the material bucket into the receiving input raw material and to send the material bucket out after feeding is completed.

[0058] The work order data reading module is used to obtain the ingredient data of each raw material in the current painting work order. This module can interface with the enterprise's production management system (MES) or formula management system, supports the import of various data formats such as Excel, CSV, and databases, and can also quickly read work order information via scanning QR codes, RFID, etc. The ingredient data includes key parameters such as raw material type, proportion ratio, and total ingredient quantity, providing a basis for subsequent ingredient mixing processes.

[0059] The raw material proportioning generation module intelligently generates the required amount of ingredients for each batching head component 104 based on the batching data obtained from the work order data reading module, combined with the number and location information of the currently available batching head components 104. This module has an automatic allocation function, which can optimize the allocation based on parameters such as raw material type, capacity limitations of the batching head components 104, and batching speed, ensuring that each batching head component 104 works collaboratively, avoiding duplicate or missed batching, and improving overall operational efficiency.

[0060] The batching module controls the corresponding batching head assembly 104 to perform the feeding operation based on the batching quantity generated by the raw material proportioning generation module. This module works in conjunction with the gear pump 122, electromagnet unit 114, permanent magnet 111, and other actuators in the batching head body 108 to achieve high-precision quantitative dispensing. Simultaneously, the batching module also has a real-time monitoring function, capable of collecting and feeding back parameters such as flow rate, pressure, and time during the dispensing process to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each batch of batches.

[0061] The cylinder control module controls the movement of cylinder 130 in the receiving assembly 106 to achieve automatic feeding and discharging of the material bucket. Before the feeding begins, the cylinder control module, based on the start signal from the feeding module, controls cylinder 130 to push support plate 131 to slide along guide rail 129, moving the material bucket clamped between clamping plates 132 to the receiving position below the feeding head assembly 104. After feeding is completed, the module sends another control signal, causing cylinder 130 to move support plate 131 in the opposite direction, sending the full material bucket out of the receiving area for subsequent transportation or mixing operations. This module supports multiple control methods, such as manual control, timed control, and sensor feedback control, ensuring the stability and safety of the receiving assembly 106.

[0062] In summary, this control component, through efficient collaboration among its modules, achieves fully automated control of the entire process, from data input, proportion calculation, batching execution to material transfer. This not only improves the intelligence level and production efficiency of the batching system but also effectively reduces manual intervention and human error, making it suitable for the high-precision, high-volume, and continuous production needs of additives in modern factories.

[0063] Suppose a paint manufacturer needs to produce a batch of water-based environmentally friendly paint, and this batch of paint requires the use of the following three additives:

[0064]

[0065] The operation flow of the control component is as follows:

[0066] Operators scan the work order QR code on the control terminal or upload the work order file through the MES system. The work order data reading module automatically parses and extracts the batching data, including:

[0067] Required additives: defoamers, dispersants, and thickeners;

[0068] The proportions and total requirements of each auxiliary agent;

[0069] Production batch number, operator information, etc.

[0070] The raw material proportioning generation module automatically assigns tasks based on the formula data and the current hardware configuration of the batching station (e.g., 3 batching head components):

[0071] Ingredient dispenser 1: Responsible for defoamer (5kg);

[0072] Dispensing head 2: Responsible for dispersant (12kg);

[0073] Ingredient dispenser 3: Contains thickener (20kg).

[0074] The module will also make fine adjustments based on historical error data to ensure that the total batching error is controlled within ±0.5%.

[0075] The control system sends a "material bucket enters" command to the cylinder control module; the cylinder drives the support plate to slide along the guide rail, moving the clamped empty material bucket directly below the dispensing head assembly; after the photoelectric sensor detects that the material bucket is in place, it sends a feedback signal to the control system, preparing to start dispensing.

[0076] Feeding from mixing head 1 (5kg of defoamer): The control module starts the gear pump of mixing head 1; the discharge pressure is adjusted by the pressure regulating valve to ensure stable flow; when the gear pump is running, the system monitors the weight change in real time (through the weighing sensor); after the set value (5kg) is reached, the control system automatically shuts down the gear pump to complete the feeding.

[0077] Feeding from dispensing head 2 (12kg of dispersant): The dispensing module is switched to dispensing head 2; the same process is followed to feed the dispensing agent, and the weight is monitored in real time; it will automatically stop when it reaches 12kg.

[0078] Dispensing head 3 (20kg thickener): Start dispensing head 3 to dispense 20kg of thickener; the system records the actual dispensing value for error analysis and subsequent optimization.

[0079] After all ingredients are prepared, the control system sends a "material bucket delivery" command to the cylinder control module; the cylinder reverses its movement, driving the support plate to reset and delivering the material bucket filled with additives out of the receiving area; the worker transfers the material bucket to the next process (such as a mixing tank); the system automatically generates a batching record, including time, batch, and actual amount of each additive, for easy traceability and quality control.

[0080] The above description discloses only one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiments can be implemented, and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
