[0030] In this embodiment, the storage bin 1 is used to store different kinds of raw materials. These raw materials are various materials required in the production process of the ore-bearing furnace 5. There are multiple storage bins 1 to meet the needs of storing multiple raw materials.

A first discharging mechanism 13 is provided at the bottom of the storage bin 1 to control the transfer of raw materials from the storage bin 1 to the metering bin 2. A first weight sensor 21 is provided inside the metering bin 2. The number of metering bins 2 is the same as that of the storage bin 1. The metering bin 2 is provided after the storage bin 1. The metering bin 2 is used to accurately measure the weight of the raw materials to ensure accurate control of the input amount of each raw material.

The host computer 7, as the human-machine interface and advanced monitoring center of the system, can display the real-time operating status of the system, the working conditions of each component, the inventory and flow of raw materials and other information. At the same time, the operator can remotely monitor and operate the system through the host computer. The host computer 7 is electrically connected to the controller 6, can receive data from the controller 6, and send the operator's instructions to the controller 6, so as to realize remote monitoring and operation of the entire system. The controller of the present invention can be selected as a programmable logic controller PLC.

[0035] Through this embodiment, the system can automatically complete the metering, mixing and conveying of raw materials according to the preset program or the instruction of the host computer 7, reducing the intervention of manual operation and improving production efficiency.

The agitator 32 is a key component in the mixing bin. Through rotation or stirring, the raw materials are fully mixed in the mixing bin. The type of the agitator 32 can be paddle type, spiral type, etc. Its working principle is mainly to drive the agitator to rotate through a motor to generate shear force and convection force, so that the raw materials form flow and circulation in the mixing bin, thereby achieving uniform mixing. The buffer bin 33 is located below the mixing bin 31 and is used to temporarily store the mixed raw materials. The second weighing sensor 34 is installed at the bottom of the buffer bin 31 to monitor the weight of the raw materials in the buffer bin 33. When the raw materials flow from the mixing bin 31 into the buffer bin 33, the second weighing sensor 34 will measure the weight of the raw materials in the buffer bin 33, so as to determine whether the amount of materials entering the ore furnace 5 reaches the set standard.
