Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the in-depth application of automation control technology in agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and other industries, the industry's requirements for the precision and efficiency of feeding are constantly increasing. As one of the most widely used mechanical devices, weighing feeder is used to transport useful raw materials and is an intermediate material transfer device.

[0003] Chinese patent number CN203606016U provides an automatic weighing feeder, which includes a material tank and a weighing feeder. When in use, first insert the two forks in front of the forklift into the fork hole channel on the material tank, and then place the material tank filled with mud on the weighing feeder. At this time, the discharge valve top opening device causes the discharge valve and the cutter to move upward under the control of the guide device, and the agglomerated mud is cut by the cutter and flows into the weighing feeder below; the operator sets the value on the control box in advance, and then presses the start button, at this time, the frequency conversion motor starts, the mud enters the screw conveyor evenly after being stirred by the stirrer, and flows out from the discharge port into the container on the pallet. When the weight of the mud in the container is close to the set value, the speed of the frequency conversion motor is reduced, and the feeding speed is slowed down to improve the weighing accuracy (the feeding speed is set in advance). When the weight of the mud in the container reaches the set value, the frequency conversion motor automatically cuts off the power and stops outputting the mud. At the same time, the pneumatic plug device extends to prevent the mud from sliding, completing a weighing work cycle. The utility model has the advantages of high weighing precision, high efficiency, less manpower and low labor intensity.

[0027] The utility model provides a static weighing continuous conveying feeder control system. When the unloading unit 6 is unloading, the weighing unit 1 can accurately weigh the material on the conveying unit 3, thereby realizing continuous weighing of the feeder in a static state, and being able to obtain an accurate weighing value, thereby improving the accuracy of the feeder feedback to the control unit, so that the control unit can accurately control the operation of the feeder and avoid problems such as poor feeding accuracy during feeding.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conveying unit 3 transmits the rotation speed data to the PLC unit in the control unit 7 when conveying materials, and then the PLC unit controls the operation of the frequency conversion unit in the control unit 7 to adjust the discharge flow of the discharge unit 6.

[0029] A static weighing continuous conveying feeder working method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0030] S1. Start-up: The operation control unit 7 controls the conveying unit 3, the weighing unit 1, the sensor module 5 and the unloading unit 6 to start up, so that the feeder is in operation;

[0031] S2. Sensing setting: With the movement of the conveying unit 3, the multiple reflecting units 4 will also move. When one of the reflecting units 4 passes by the sensor module 5 on the left side of the unloading unit 6, the reflecting unit 4 will reflect the light emitted by the sensor module 5, and then the reflected light will be received by the sensor module 5. Then the control unit 7 will control the unloading unit 6 to operate according to the detection result of the sensor module 5, so that the unloading unit 6 starts to unload, and when the sensor module 5 located on the right side of the unloading unit 6 detects another reflecting unit 4, the unloading unit 6 will stop moving, and then the amount of material unloaded by the unloading unit 6 is determined according to the detection of the weighing unit 1, and then the speed of the conveying unit 3 and the unloading speed of the unloading unit 6 are adjusted according to the amount, so that a certain amount of material is evenly laid in the storage interval formed by the two adjacent reflecting units 5;

[0032] S3. Unloading and weighing: After the above process is adjusted, the control unit 7 can continue to be operated to enable the equipment to perform feeding processing. When the unloading unit 6 unloads in this process, the conveying unit 3 will move with the material, so that the material falling from the unloading unit 6 is spread flat on the conveying unit 3. The weighing unit 1 will weigh in this process. When the weighing value reaches the set value, the unloading unit 6 stops, and the conveying unit 3 continues to operate. The above process is repeated to continue unloading, and the material will be moved out from the other end of the conveying unit 3 as the water supply unit 3 transports it.

[0033] Working principle: The operation control unit 7 controls the conveying unit 3, the weighing unit 1, the sensor module 5 and the unloading unit 6 to start up, so that the feeder starts to operate; with the movement of the conveying unit 3, the multiple reflective units 4 will also move, and when one of the reflective units 4 passes by the sensor module 5 on the left side of the unloading unit 6, the reflective unit 4 will reflect the light emitted by the sensor module 5, and then the reflected light will be received by the sensor module 5, and then the control unit 7 will control the unloading unit 6 to operate according to the detection result of the sensor module 5, so that the unloading unit 6 starts to unload, and when the sensor module 5 on the right side of the unloading unit 6 detects another reflective unit 4, the unloading unit 6 will stop moving, and then the unloading unit 6 is determined according to the detection of the weighing unit 1. The amount of material unloaded by element 6, and then the speed of the conveying unit 3 and the unloading speed of the unloading unit 6 are adjusted according to the amount, so that a certain amount of material is evenly laid in the storage interval formed by two adjacent reflecting units 5; after the above process is adjusted, the control unit 7 can continue to be operated to make the equipment perform feeding processing. When the unloading unit 6 unloads in this process, the conveying unit 3 will move with the material, so that the material falling from the unloading unit 6 is spread flat on the conveying unit 3. In this process, the weighing unit 1 will weigh. When the weighing value reaches the set value, the unloading unit 6 stops, and the conveying unit 3 continues to operate. The above process is repeated to continue unloading, and the material will be moved out from the other end of the conveying unit 3 as the water supply unit 3 transports it.

[0034] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
