Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder bulk density, in particular to a device capable of measuring powder bulk density multiple times. Background Art
[0002] The bulk density refers to the density of the powder when it is naturally piled up. It is closely related to the particle shape, surface roughness, particle size distribution, water content, etc. of the powder, and is a comprehensive reflection of the various properties of the powder. The higher the bulk density, the lower the porosity, and the higher the density of the part after forming, which is beneficial to improving the strength and surface quality of the product. Powders that are too fine or too coarse will reduce their bulk and compact densities. If the powder is too fine, its surface area is large, and the friction between the powders is large, resulting in a lower bulk density; if the powder is too coarse, bridging will occur, and there will be large gaps when the powder is piled up, resulting in a lower bulk density.
[0003] There are three methods for measuring the bulk density of powders: funnel method, Scott volumetric method, and vibrating funnel method. 1. Funnel method: The powder falls freely from the funnel hole at a certain height and fills the cup; 2. Scott volumetric method: Put the powder on the screen of the upper combined funnel, and flow into the material box freely or by external force, alternately passing through the 4 glass plates with an inclination angle of 25° and the square funnel in the material box, and finally fall freely from the funnel hole at a certain height and fill the cup; 3. Vibrating funnel method: The powder is loaded into a funnel with a vibrating device, vibrated under certain conditions, and the powder falls freely from the funnel hole at a certain height with the help of vibration to fill the cup. For powders that can flow freely under specific conditions, the funnel method is used; for non-free-flowing powders, the latter two methods are used. However, due to the different quality of the powder, the measurement is accidental, multiple measurements are required, and the steps are time-consuming and cumbersome. Manual powder scraping not only makes it difficult to clean up the excess powder, but also affects the accuracy of the measurement data to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to design a powder bulk density measuring instrument that can perform multiple measurements and automatically scrape powder. Utility Model Content

[0032] A waste tray 11 is provided on the weighing assembly 8 below the measuring cup assembly 7. The waste tray 11 includes a first waste tray and a second waste tray. The first waste tray and the second waste tray are assembled and arranged with the transmission shaft 6 as the center. Figure 7 A waste tray design provided in this embodiment can be composed of two semicircles. The waste tray 11 is used to recover excess powder and support the measuring cup assembly 7. The waste tray 11 is designed to be two and is assembled with the transmission shaft 6 as the center. When recovering excess powder, one of the waste trays is first pulled out to recover the powder, and the other waste tray is not taken out first, and serves as a support for the measuring cup assembly 7; after one of the waste trays is put back, the other waste tray is pulled out to recover the powder therein.
[0033] like Figure 4The transmission shaft 6 is fixed with the first and second gears 62, the scraper 63, and two connectors 64 that are connected to the central shaft tube hole 74 of the upper measuring cup 71, the middle measuring cup 72 or the lower measuring cup 73 in sequence; the distance between the center positions of the first and second gears 62 is equal to the distance between the center positions of the two connectors 64, which is equal to the thickness of the upper measuring cup 71, the middle measuring cup 72 or the lower measuring cup 73; the lower end surface of the scraper 63 fits the edge of the cup mouth of the upper measuring cup 71; the upper end of the transmission shaft 6 is provided with a limit snap ring 61 after passing through the top of the frame 1, and the limit snap ring 61 is slidably connected with the transmission shaft 6.

[0034] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0035] Before measurement, the weighing assembly is zeroed and the position of each measuring cup is adjusted to ensure that the longitudinal clamping strips in the central axis tube holes of the upper measuring cup, the middle measuring cup and the lower measuring cup are vertically aligned; the position of the transmission shaft is adjusted to ensure that the two connectors in the transmission shaft are located in the central axis tube holes of the upper measuring cup and the lower measuring cup; and the third gear is ensured to be connected to the first gear in transmission.
[0036] Allow the powder to be measured in the funnel to fall into the measuring cup assembly through the discharge port, and then fall into one of the cavities with a bottom plate in the lower measuring cup through the through cavities of the upper measuring cup and the middle measuring cup. Fill the cavity with a bottom plate in the lower measuring cup, as well as the cavities of the upper and middle measuring cups that are connected to the cavity, with powder. After filling, turn on the switch, adjust the speed of the drive mechanism, and the third gear drives the first gear to rotate the transmission shaft. Keep the measuring cup assembly stationary, rotate the scraper 90°, scrape off the excess powder in the cavity, and drop it into the waste tray through the through cavities of the upper, middle, and lower measuring cups in turn. Turn off the switch. (It should be noted here that if Figure 8-9 As shown in the figure, if the transmission shaft rotates clockwise, the connector rotates 90° clockwise and then gets stuck with the longitudinal clamping strip; if the transmission shaft rotates counterclockwise, the connector rotates 90° counterclockwise and then gets stuck with the longitudinal clamping strip). First, pull out the first waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back; then pull out the second waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back. Read the data of the weighing component, which is the total mass of the powder in the single cavity of the upper measuring cup, the single cavity of the middle measuring cup, and the single cavity of the lower measuring cup.
[0037] Turn on the switch, adjust the speed of the drive mechanism, and start the transmission shaft to work. Because the connector is stuck with the longitudinal card strip, the contact brake is applied, and the scraper rotates with the upper measuring cup, rotating 90°, so that the powder in the through-hole of the upper measuring cup and the excess powder filled above the middle measuring cup are scraped off by the bottom of the upper measuring cup partition, and fall into the waste tray through the through-holes of the middle and lower measuring cups. Turn off the switch. First pull out the first waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back; then pull out the second waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back. Read the data of the weighing component, which is the total mass of the powder in a single cavity of the middle measuring cup and a single cavity of the lower measuring cup.
[0038] Pull up the transmission shaft so that the third gear is connected to the second gear, and limit the transmission shaft with a limit clamp. At this time, the connector enters the central axis tube hole of the middle measuring cup. Turn on the switch, adjust the speed of the drive mechanism, and start the transmission shaft. Because the connector is stuck with the longitudinal clamping strip, the contact brake, the scraper rotates with the middle measuring cup, rotates 90°, so that the powder in the through-hole of the middle measuring cup and the excess powder filled above the lower measuring cup are scraped off by the bottom of the middle measuring cup partition and fall into the waste tray through the through-hole of the lower measuring cup. Turn off the switch. First pull out the first waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back; then pull out the second waste tray, recycle the powder in it, and put it back. Read the data of the weighing component, which is the powder in a single cavity of the lower measuring cup. After the measurement, reset the device.

Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
