[0025] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the implementation of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following embodiments, so that the public can better master the implementation method of the present utility model. The specific implementation scheme of the present utility model is as follows:

[0026] A rare earth smelting feeding device includes a chassis 1. The chassis 1 is provided with wheels in a rotational structure manner. On the upper end surface of the chassis 1, a vibrating disk 2 is provided in a fixed structure manner. The vibrating disk is an auxiliary feeding device for an automatic assembly or automatic processing machine, abbreviated as a component feeding device. Working principle: The frequency converter and the motor realize the automatic conveying function, which will not be elaborated here; on the chassis 1 on one side of the vibrating disk 2, a bracket is provided in a fixed structure manner. Above the bracket, a material cylinder 4 is fixedly provided in an inclined structure manner. The material cylinder 4 includes a feeding cylinder 41 and a material distributing cylinder 42 arranged in a Y-shaped structure. The inlet of the feeding cylinder 41 is located below the outlet of the vibrating disk 2. In the material cylinder 4, a sealing door 5 for sealing the material distributing cylinder 42 is arranged in a hinged structure manner. A power mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the material cylinder 4, and the power mechanism is connected to the sealing door 5. By arranging a Y-shaped material cylinder on one side of the vibrating disk and respectively opening different material distributing cylinders through the sealing door, rare earth oxides are supplied to two electrolytic cells respectively, which not only reduces the installation, maintenance costs and operating costs, but also can alternately and intermittently feed the two electrolytic cells, ensuring the rationality of the feeding time and improving the working efficiency of the feeding device.

[0027] Specifically, the bracket includes four vertical rods 31 and a horizontal frame 32 connecting the vertical rods 31. The horizontal frame 32 connects the four vertical rods 31 to ensure the structural stability.

[0028] It should be noted that a rotating shaft 6 is arranged in the middle of the axis of the material cylinder 4 in a rotational structure manner. The rotating shaft 6 is located at the junction of the two material distributing cylinders 42; one end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing door 5, and one end of the rotating shaft 6 extends to the outside of the material cylinder 4 and is connected to the power mechanism, ensuring the tightness of the sealing door 5 to one material distributing cylinder 42.

[0029] It should be elaborated that the power mechanism includes a connecting rod 7 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6. One end of the connecting rod 7 is connected to a cylinder 8, and the other end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the material cylinder 4. Specifically, a sliding groove 9 is opened on the connecting rod 7, and a cylinder body 10 is arranged in the sliding groove 9 in a sliding structure manner. The cylinder body 10 is connected to the output shaft of the cylinder 8 in a hinged structure manner. The cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder 41, avoiding the movement of the cylinder 8, and thus the air pipe connected to the cylinder 8 cannot move either, preventing it from loosening during movement and improving the sealing performance.

[0030] Furthermore, a mounting seat 11 for fixing the air cylinder 8 is provided on the outer wall of the feed cylinder 41 in a fixed structure manner to ensure the fixed connection between the air cylinder 8 and the feed cylinder.

[0031] It should be noted that a bearing seat for the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 is provided outside the material distribution cylinder 42 to improve the smoothness of rotation.

[0032] The chassis 1 is provided with self-locking universal wheels in a rotating structure manner, and the feeding device can be transported between two adjacent electrolytic cells.

[0033] The working principle and process of the present utility model are as follows:

[0034] Push the device between two electrolytic cells, lock the self-locking universal wheels, and the two material distribution cylinders 42 are respectively located above the first electrolytic cell and the second electrolytic cell;

[0035] Start the vibrating disk 2, and the rare earth oxide enters the feed cylinder 41 through the discharge port of the vibrating disk 2. At this time, the material distribution cylinder 41 above the second electrolytic cell is closed by the sealing door 5, and the rare earth oxide enters the feed cylinder 41 above the first electrolytic cell along the side wall of the sealing door 5, and then falls into the lower first electrolytic cell by its own weight;

[0036] When the first electrolytic cell does not need to be fed, start the air cylinder 8. The output shaft of the air cylinder 8 extends to drive the cylinder 10 to slide in the chute 9, and then drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate through the connecting rod 7. The rotating shaft 6 drives the sealing door 5 to move to the side wall of the feed cylinder 41. The material distribution cylinder 42 above the first electrolytic cell is closed, and the material distribution cylinder 42 above the second electrolytic cell is opened, and the rare earth oxide falls into the second electrolytic cell, and so on.
