Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of weighing devices, in particular to an additive measuring device. Background Art

[0002] The dyeing liquid used for fabric printing and dyeing is usually made by mixing pigments and various additives. Before mixing various materials, it is necessary to weigh the corresponding weight of additives according to the weight of the pigment. In this way, a measuring device is needed to weigh the weight of the additives. Therefore, this measuring device is generally also called a weighing device.

[0003] In the related art, it is mainly composed of a weighing sensor and a weighing container for containing the additive, and the weighing sensor is used to weigh and measure the weight of the additive in the weighing container.

[0004] In addition, in the related art, in order to improve the measurement efficiency, an assembly line measurement system is usually adopted, that is, the storage tanks storing the various additives are distributed in sequence along a specific direction. During weighing, the measuring device moves forward along the specific direction. When it moves to the bottom of the corresponding storage tank, the discharge valve of the storage tank is opened to allow the additive to be put into the weighing container of the measuring device. When the weight reaches a predetermined value, the discharge valve is closed, and then the device continues to move forward and repeats the above steps to weigh the next additive.

[0005] Although this assembly line measuring device can improve efficiency, it also has shortcomings. Specifically, before weighing, the weighing container needs to be lifted onto the traveling mechanism so that the subsequent weighing container can move in the aforementioned specific direction. After weighing, the weighing container together with the additives inside it needs to be removed from the traveling mechanism. The weighing container plus the additives inside it are heavy, so it is more laborious to carry it down. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve at least one technical problem mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an additive measuring device.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0031] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0032] In the following description, terms such as "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. that indicate directions or positional relationships are only used to facilitate the description of the embodiments and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an additive measuring device, including: a container 1, a supporting assembly, a weighing device, a walking mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. Each component is described in detail below.

[0034] Container 1 is mainly used to receive storage tanks (such as Figure 5 The additive released by the tank is shown in the middle M part, and its top opening is set as a material receiving port; it can be understood that the storage tank here refers to a tank for storing additives, such as Figure 5 As shown, generally, multiple storage tanks are provided, for example Figure 5 There are three shown in the figure, one storage tank stores one additive; as a common distribution method, the storage tanks are distributed in the same straight line in the horizontal direction; and the storage tank is generally provided with a discharge pipe at the bottom, and a valve is provided on the discharge pipe. When discharging, the valve is opened and the additive in the storage tank can be discharged downward from the discharge pipe. In this way, as long as the container 1 is placed under the corresponding discharge pipe, it can receive the additive discharged from the discharge pipe to achieve material connection.

[0035] In order to facilitate the movement of the container 1, Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the container 1 in this embodiment has a roller 131. As an optional implementation, a plurality of wheel frames 13 are fixedly connected to the peripheral side of the container 1, and a roller 131 is provided at the bottom of each wheel frame 13, wherein the roller 131 is preferably a universal roller 131.

[0036] In addition, in order to facilitate the pushing of the container 1 for walking, in this embodiment, a handle 14 for a person to grasp is provided on the side wall of the container 1 .

[0037] In addition, in order to facilitate the subsequent discharge of the material (i.e., additive) in the container 1, in this embodiment, a discharge pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the container 1, and a discharge valve 12 is provided on the discharge pipe, wherein the lower end of the discharge pipe 11 is higher than the roller 131.

[0038] In this way, after the weighing of the container 1 is completed, the container 1 can be transferred to a predetermined workshop, and then the discharge valve 12 is opened, and the material in the container 1 can be discharged from the discharge pipe 11; in this way, there is no need to tip the container 1 to empty the material.

[0039] The supporting assembly is used to support the container 1, and the weighing device is arranged on the supporting assembly to weigh the container 1 lifted by the supporting assembly; wherein the supporting assembly is constructed as follows:

[0040] The supporting assembly can move vertically and can lift the container 1 upward when the container 1 is in a state where the rollers 131 are on the ground so that the rollers 131 are off the ground, that is, Figure 3As shown, the roller 131 is lifted a distance H relative to the ground, so that the ground does not provide support for it, and the weight of the entire container 1 is basically borne by the supporting assembly, so that the weighing device on the supporting assembly can weigh the container 1 and the material inside it; for example, when the container 1 is lifted, the weighing device is reset to zero, which is equivalent to peeling the container 1.

[0041] The walking mechanism is used to drive the supporting assembly to walk along a set path in the horizontal direction, wherein the set path is consistent with the distribution mode of the storage tank of the additive. For example, in this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the storage tanks are distributed in the transverse direction, so in this embodiment, the set path is transverse.

[0042] The lifting mechanism is used to drive the supporting assembly to move vertically so as to lift or lower the supporting assembly.

[0043] Before weighing, first, push the container 1 to the supporting assembly position, and then lift it up by the lifting mechanism so that the roller 131 is off the ground. Figure 3 As shown, the entire container 1 is equivalent to being lifted up by the supporting assembly, and the lifting weight is basically pressed on the supporting assembly and weighed by the load-bearing devices on the supporting assembly; subsequently, the supporting assembly can be driven by the walking mechanism to move, and then the supporting assembly carries the container 1 to the bottom of the storage tank to receive the material, and the material discharge can be stopped until the predetermined weight is reached, thereby realizing the weighing of the additive.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the specific weighing method can be the following two:

[0045] The first one is individual weighing, that is, each time the weighing of one additive is completed, the material in the container 1 is emptied once.

[0046] The second type is one-time weighing, that is, after the weighing of the previous additive is completed, the container 1 is not lowered, but the machine continues to move to the next additive to be lowered. Before unloading, the weighing device is reset to zero, and then the material is unloaded, and the above steps are repeated to weigh the subsequent additives in sequence.

[0047] After all additives have been weighed, the container 1 is lowered by the lifting mechanism until the rollers 131 at the bottom of the container 1 touch the ground. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the container 1 can be directly pushed away and transferred to a predetermined place.

[0048] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the supporting assembly is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the supporting assembly includes two supporting arms 21 that are kept relatively fixed. For example, the two supporting arms 21 are connected and fixed together through a connecting plate 22.

[0049] The two supporting arms 21 are spaced apart, and the space is large enough for the container 1 to be placed therein. For example, in this embodiment, the supporting arms 21 are L-shaped, and the top surface thereof is horizontally disposed.

[0050] Correspondingly, such as Figure 3 As shown, the container 1 is provided with support arms 10 on both sides; the support arms 10 at least partially extend above the support arms 21, and the two support arms 10 correspond to the two support arms 21 respectively, so that after the container 1 is placed between the two support arms 21, when the support arms 21 are lifted upward from the initial position, the support arms 21 will lift the support arms 10 upward, thereby lifting the container 1. It is worth noting that when the support arms 21 are in the initial position (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure), the roller 131 is on the ground and the supporting arm 21 is lower than the supporting arm 10, so that the container 1 can be taken out from between the two supporting arms 21 without being lifted.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the weighing device includes a weighing sensor 32 and a support plate 31. The support plate 31 is arranged on the support arm 21. The weighing sensor 32 is arranged between the support plate 31 and the support arm 21. The support arm 10 is placed on the support plate, so that the weight of the entire container 1 is pressed on the support plate 31, thereby enabling the weighing sensor 32 under the support plate 31 to achieve weighing.

[0052] In order to prevent the support arm 10 from sliding out along the length direction of the support arm 21, in this embodiment, a groove 211 is opened on the support arm 21, the weighing sensor 32 and the support plate are located in the groove 211, and the top surface of the support plate 31 is lower than the notch of the groove 211, that is, the top surface of the support plate 31 is lower than the top surface of the support arm 21, so that the upper part of the side wall of the groove 211 can form a limit for the support arm 10 in the length direction of the support arm 21, thereby preventing the support arm 10 from sliding out along the length direction of the support arm 21.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, the walking mechanism includes two mounting seats 43, a motor 44, and a guide rail 41 and a lead screw 42 extending laterally, the mounting seat 43 is vertically slidably connected to the column 52; the lead screw 42 and the guide rail 41 are arranged between the two mounting seats 43, wherein the two ends of the guide rail 41 are respectively fixed on the two mounting seats 43, and the two ends of the lead screw 42 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting seats 43, and the motor 44 is fixed on the mounting seat 43 to drive the lead screw 42 to rotate; the supporting assembly is slidably arranged on the guide rail 41 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 42. For example, in this embodiment, the connecting plate 22 connecting the two supporting arms 21 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 42, so that when the lead screw 42 is driven to rotate by the motor 44, the two supporting arms 21 can be driven to move laterally as a whole to achieve walking.

[0054] The lifting mechanism includes two, and the two lifting mechanisms are respectively arranged on both sides of the walking mechanism; the lifting mechanism includes a column 52 and a driving member, the walking mechanism is vertically slidably arranged on the column 52, and the driving member is used to vertically lift the walking mechanism; the driving member is one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder 51, and an electric cylinder.

[0055] Taking the hydraulic cylinder 51 as an example, the hydraulic cylinder 51 is vertically arranged and relatively fixed with the column 52, and the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is fixed with the mounting seat 43. In this way, through the telescopic action of the hydraulic cylinder 51, the mounting seat 43 is driven to move up and down, and then the guide rail 41, the lead screw 42, and the supporting assembly are driven to move up and down as a whole, so as to realize the lifting or lowering of the container 1.

[0056] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
