[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0013] (1) By arranging a bin that can store multiple rods next to the supply mechanism of the atomization equipment, all the rods in the bin can be loaded with only one vacuum operation, which effectively reduces the number of vacuum operations, thereby simplifying the loading steps and reducing the cost of the loading operation;

[0030] like Figure 1-10 The aerosolized rod loading and storage mechanism shown includes a hollow warehouse body 2 for storing rod bodies 6. In order to arrange the rod bodies 6 inside the warehouse body 2 neatly, the width of the internal space of the warehouse body 2 is uniform and slightly larger than the diameter of the rod bodies 6, that is, the axes of the rod bodies 6 located in the warehouse body 2 are parallel and basically on the same plane. The inner bottom surface of the warehouse body 2 is inclined, which is convenient for the rod bodies 6 to slide from high to low spontaneously by using their own weight. The warehouse body 2 is provided with a feed port 201 above the higher inner bottom surface, and the rod bodies 6 enter the warehouse body 2 therefrom. The feed port 201 is located at the top of the warehouse body 2, so the rod bodies 6 enter from the top of the warehouse body 2. An introduction tube 1 is provided at the top of the warehouse body 2. The main part of the introduction tube 1 is cylindrical, and the inner wall diameter of the cylinder is obviously larger than the diameter of the rod bodies 6. Its axis is usually set vertically, and of course it can also be appropriately inclined. The inlet tube 1 is provided with a slot 101 extending downward from the top surface, and the bottom of the slot 101 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for fitting with the cylindrical rod body 6. When the rod body 6 is flipped from horizontal to vertical, the stress on the outer side surface will be more uniform and surface damage will not easily occur. The bottom of the introduction tube 1 is provided with a funnel 102, and the inner diameter of the upper end of the funnel 102 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower end, which is convenient for the rod body 6 inserted into the introduction tube 1 to lean towards the middle. The cylindrical inner wall at the lower end of the funnel 102 is coaxial with the feed port 201 and has the same diameter. The diameter of the rod body 6 is slightly larger, and the gap is generally within one millimeter. Under this constraint, the sliding rod body 6 will roughly remain coaxial with the introduction tube 1, which is conducive to ensuring that the angles of all rod bodies 6 entering the warehouse body 2 are the same, achieving the effect of parallel arrangement, thereby making full use of the internal space of the warehouse body 2 and facilitating the storage and discharge of the rod body 6.

[0031] The top surface of the bin body 2 is provided with an opening and closing mechanism 3 for opening or closing the feed port 201. The specific structure of the opening and closing mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301 fixedly connected to the top surface of the bin body 2, and the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected with a telescopic mechanism 302. The telescopic mechanism 302 is usually a cylinder. The end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic mechanism 302 is connected with a sliding cover 304 through a traction plate 303. The top of the bin body 2 is provided with a slide groove 203 connected with the feed port 201, which just cooperates with the sliding cover 304. A sliding pair is formed, so that the sliding cover 304 can completely block the feed port 201. Of course, the sliding cover 304 can also be pulled out to make the feed port 201 completely open. The outer side surface of the sliding cover 304 is fixedly connected with a sealing strip 305, which is generally made of a soft and elastic silicone material with a certain oiliness on the surface. A sealing groove 204 is opened on the inner wall of the slide groove 203, which fits exactly with the sealing strip 305. After fitting, it can surround the feed port 201, thereby ensuring the airtightness at the feed port 201.

[0032] The side wall of the silo 2 is provided with a discharge port 202, which is located at the lower end of the bottom surface of the silo 2. A discharge mechanism 5 is provided on the silo 2 to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 202. The specific structure of the discharge mechanism 5 includes a rotary drive 501 fixedly connected to the top surface of the silo 2. The rotary drive 501 usually includes a servo motor and a reducer structure. The reducer generally adopts a planetary gear set and is driven by a servo motor. A shaft hole 206 is provided on the top of the silo 2. The output shaft of the rotary drive 501 passes through the shaft hole 206 and extends into the silo 2, and is fixedly connected to a turntable 5. 02. The output shaft of the rotary drive 501 is actually the output shaft of the planetary reducer. The turntable 502 is colinear with the axis of the output shaft of the rotary drive 501, so that it will be more stable during rotation. A pair of material removal plates 503 are fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the turntable 502. The two material removal plates 503 are colinear with the rotation axis of the turntable 502, and a material passing groove 504 is formed between the two material removal plates 503 for a single rod body 6 to pass through. The inner wall of the bin body 2 is provided with a clearance groove 205, which is used to cooperate with the material removal plate 503 to form a rotating pair, thereby improving the movement stability of the material removal plate 503.

[0033] A vacuum pump 4 is arranged outside the silo 2 for extracting the internal air when the silo 2 is closed. The vacuum pump 4 is usually fixedly connected to the outer bottom surface of the silo 2. An air suction port 207 is opened on the side wall of the silo 2. The air suction port 207 is usually located on the side away from the discharge port 202. An air suction pipe 401 is connected between the air suction port 207 and the input end of the vacuum pump 4. The air suction pipe 401 is usually made of an alloy material with a certain thickness so that it is not easily flattened by the internal and external pressure difference. Both ends of the air suction pipe 401 are fixedly connected to the air suction port 207 and the input end of the vacuum pump 4 through a connecting ring 402 to ensure the connection stability. An air pressure sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the connecting ring 402 to monitor whether the interior of the silo 2 meets the vacuum requirement.

[0034] Working principle: The storage mechanism has two working states, one is the storage state: when working, the material-pickup plate 503 is rotated out of the clearance groove 205 to block the discharge port 202. It should be noted that the discharge port 202 of the silo 2 is connected to the feeding mechanism, and the two are sealed by mutual cooperation. Therefore, there is no need to design a blocking structure at the end where the discharge port 202 is located. The sliding cover 304 is driven by the telescopic mechanism 302 to fully open the feed port 201, and the inner cavity of the silo 2 is isolated from the outside. The rod bodies 6 are connected, and the rod bodies 6 slide into the warehouse body 2 through the introduction tube 1 in turn. Because the lower end of the rod body 6 is mostly flat, after the rod body 6 contacts the inner bottom surface of the warehouse body 2, the upper end will be inclined away from the feed port 201. Therefore, the rod bodies 6 in the warehouse body 2 can be closely arranged together and evenly until the internal space of the warehouse body 2 is filled. Then, the sliding cover 304 is driven by the telescopic mechanism 302 again to completely block the feed port 201. At this time, the warehouse body 2 The interior is completely sealed, and the vacuum pump 4 is started to extract the air inside the warehouse body 2 and the feeding mechanism connected thereto, until the air pressure sensor arranged inside the connecting ring 402 detects that the air pressure value meets the vacuum requirement and stops, so that the storage work of the storage mechanism is completed; the other is the feeding state: when working, the material plate 503 rotates under the drive of the rotary drive 501, and when the inner wall of the material plate 503 is flush with the inner wall of the warehouse body 2, the rod body 6 with a downward trend will slide into the material trough 504 between the two material plate 503. Since the rotation of the turntable 502 will not be paused, when a rod body 6 passes through, the next rod body 6 will be immediately intercepted by the material plate 503 until the material plate 503 rotates 90° to block the discharge port 202 again. The rod body 6 passing through the material trough 504 will enter the feeding mechanism of the aerosolization equipment and be slowly consumed until it is completely consumed, and then the next rod body 6 will be replenished through the discharge mechanism 5.
