[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 , which is an embodiment of the utility model, provides an automatic feeding device, including: a driving unit 100 and a feeding unit 200;

[0028] Wherein, the driving unit 100 includes a storage box 101 and a feed hopper 102 fixedly connected to the top of the storage box 101, a support plate 103 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box 101, a servo motor 104 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 103, the output end of the servo motor 104 passes through one side of the support plate 103 and is fixedly connected to a driving sprocket 105, a protection box 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the storage box 101, a transmission shaft 107 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protection box 106, a driven sprocket 108 is fixedly sleeved on the transmission shaft 107, a chain 109 is transmission-connected between the driving sprocket 105 and the driven sprocket 108, and one end of the transmission shaft 107 passes through the inner wall of the protection box 106 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 110 by bolts;

[0029] The feeding unit 200 includes a plurality of brackets 201 fixedly connected to one side of the turntable 110, and a material scoop 202 is fixedly connected to one side of each bracket 201 by bolts. A material receiving hopper 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box 101, and a discharge pipe 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 101, and the upper end of the discharge pipe 204 is connected to the material receiving hopper 203.

[0030] The copper anode slime is put into the storage box 101 through the feed hopper 102. The servo motor 104 can drive the driving sprocket 105 to rotate. The driving sprocket 105 drives the driven sprocket 108 to rotate through the chain 109. The driven sprocket 108 drives the turntable 110 to rotate through the transmission shaft 107. A plurality of spoons 202 are distributed in a circular array through the bracket 201. When the turntable 110 rotates, each spoon 202 will sequentially rotate to the bottom of the storage box 101 and scoop up the copper anode slime in the storage box 101. The opening of the spoon 202 expands outward and is inclined so that the spoon 202 can scoop up the copper anode slime. The scooped copper anode slime is temporarily stored in the spoon 202;

[0031] When the spoon 202 rotates above the receiving hopper 203, the copper anode slime in the spoon 202 slides down along the inclined surface of the inner wall of the spoon 202, so that the copper anode slime in the spoon 202 automatically falls into the receiving hopper 203. One end of the discharge pipe 204 penetrates through one side of the storage box 101 and is communicated with the receiving hopper 203. The copper anode slime in the receiving hopper 203 is discharged through the discharge pipe 204. By this cycle, the copper anode slime can be continuously replenished into the receiving hopper 203, so that the copper anode slime can be automatically and quantitatively supplied, replacing manual work and realizing automation, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent production and manufacturing.

[0032] Furthermore, a ball head rod 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective box 106. A spring piece 205 is fixedly connected to one side of each bracket 201. A connecting plate 207 is fixedly connected to one side of each spoon 202. A baffle 208 is fixedly connected to the end of each connecting plate 207. A plurality of scraping plates 209 are fixedly connected to one side of each spoon 202. The shape of the scraping plate 209 is arc-shaped.

[0033] The relative distance between the ball head rod 206 and the spring piece 205 is less than zero. When the spoon 202 moves above the receiving hopper 203, the spring piece 205 contacts the ball head rod 206 and is squeezed and deformed and bent. The spring piece 205 has elasticity. When the spring piece 205 is separated from the ball head rod 206, the spring piece 205 restores its own shape through elasticity, and the spring piece 205 will vibrate. The vibration can be transmitted to the spoon 202 through the bracket 201, so that the copper anode slime in the spoon 202 is quickly discharged under the action of vibration, so that the copper anode slime in the spoon 202 can quickly fall into the receiving hopper 203;

[0034] When the ladle 202 discharges copper anode slime into the receiving hopper 203, the baffle 208 blocks the copper anode slime during the discharging process, so that the copper anode slime will not be spilled and can be guided into the receiving hopper 203. The shape of the shovel plate 209 is arc-shaped. Through a plurality of shovel plates 209, it is convenient for the ladle 202 to shovel up the copper anode slime to quickly fill the ladle 202 with copper anode slime. And part of the copper anode slime will remain on the plurality of shovel plates 209. During the rotation of the ladle 202, the copper anode slime remaining on the shovel plates 209 will flow into the ladle 202, so as to supplement the copper anode slime shaken off by the ladle 202 during rotation for the second time.

[0035] Furthermore, two symmetrically located arc-shaped blocks 210 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 101, and an inclined block 211 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 101. The inclined block 211 is in contact with the arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped blocks 210. One side of the storage box 101 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 212, and an L-shaped plate 213 is threadedly sleeved on the rotating rod 212. The outer wall of the L-shaped plate 213 is in contact with the bottom of the storage box 101. A rectangular opening is formed in the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 101.

[0036] The arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped blocks 210 are symmetrically distributed. Through the two arc-shaped blocks 210, the four corners of the storage box 101 can be eliminated, so that the copper anode slime in the storage box 101 is guided to the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 101, which is convenient for the ladle 202 to shovel up. Through the inclined block 211, the copper anode slime can be secondarily guided, so that the copper anode slime near the protective box 106 can flow to the lower part of the ladle 202, so as to facilitate the ladle 202 to quickly shovel up the copper anode slime in the storage box 101 during the rotational movement, thus avoiding the phenomenon that a large amount of copper anode slime remains in the storage box 101 due to dead corners in the storage box 101.

[0037] A rectangular opening is formed in the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 101, and the L-shaped plate 213 is located below the rectangular opening and blocks it. When the equipment stops working, a small amount of copper anode slime will remain at the bottom of the storage box 101. At this time, the rotating rod 212 is rotated to make the L-shaped plate 213 move along the bottom of the storage box 101. Subsequently, the copper anode slime remaining in the storage box 101 can be discharged through the rectangular opening to avoid the remaining copper anode slime from deteriorating and polluting the subsequent copper anode slime.

[0038] During use, the copper anode slime is put into the storage box 101 through the feed hopper 102. The servo motor 104 can drive the driving sprocket 105 to rotate. The driving sprocket 105 drives the transmission shaft 107 to drive the turntable 110 to rotate through the chain 109. When the turntable 110 rotates, each scooper 202 will sequentially rotate to the bottom of the storage box 101, and the copper anode slime in the storage box 101 will be shoveled up by a plurality of scraper plates 209. The shoveled copper anode slime is temporarily stored in the scooper 202. When the scooper 202 rotates above the receiving hopper 203;

[0039] The elastic piece 205 contacts and is squeezed by the ball head rod 206 and deforms and bends. When the elastic piece 205 is separated from the ball head rod 206, the elastic piece 205 causes the scooper 202 to vibrate, so as to quickly discharge the copper anode slime in the scooper 202 under the action of vibration. At this time, the copper anode slime in the scooper 202 automatically falls into the receiving hopper 203, and the copper anode slime in the receiving hopper 203 is discharged through the discharge pipe 204. By circulating in this way, the copper anode slime can be continuously replenished into the receiving hopper 203. By automatically and quantitatively supplying the copper anode slime, manual labor can be replaced and automation can be realized, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent production and manufacturing.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
