[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the anti-falling powder box, comprising a box body 1, a box cover 2 covering the box body 1, a first discharge pipe 1011 located on the bottom side of the box body 1, and a conveying assembly installed in the box body 1, further comprising an inner sleeve 3 and an outer sleeve 4;

[0045] The first end of the inner sleeve 3 is sleeved on the first discharge pipe 1011, the second end of the inner sleeve 3 is sealed, a discharge hole 301 is formed on the side surface of the inner sleeve 3, and the inner sleeve 3 rotates around the axis so that the discharge hole 301 is in the anti-falling powder position or the discharging position; when the inner sleeve 3 is in the anti-falling powder position, the discharge hole 301 faces upward; when the inner sleeve 3 is in the discharging position, the discharge hole 301 faces downward;

[0046] The outer sleeve 4 is sleeved on the inner sleeve 3, a second discharge pipe 401 is arranged on the side surface of the outer sleeve 4, and the outer sleeve 4 rotates around the axis for adjusting the angle of the second discharge pipe 401;

[0047] The conveying assembly is used for conveying the material in the box body 1 to the discharge hole 301;

[0048] When the discharge hole 301 is in the discharging position, the material passes through the discharge hole 301 and the second discharge pipe 401 in sequence.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the powder box is working normally, the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 4 are both in the discharge position. When the equipment issues a powder discharge instruction, the conveying component starts to convey the powder in the powder box to the discharge hole 301. The powder passes through the discharge hole 301 and the second discharge pipe 401 in turn, and finally falls from the second discharge pipe 401 to a preset position. It should be noted here that the second discharge pipe 401 is not limited to a vertically downward position. It is also possible that the second discharge pipe 401 is in an oblique downward position. For example, if two powder boxes arranged side by side are feeding powder into the same container, then the opening of the container is located below the middle of the two powder boxes. At this time, the second discharge pipe 401 is not limited to a vertically downward position. The discharge pipe 401 should be set obliquely downward; in this embodiment, the conveying assembly includes a spiral conveying rod 5 and a driving unit (not shown in the figure), the spiral conveying rod 5 extends out of the box body 1 and is connected to the driving unit, and the driving unit is used to drive the spiral conveying rod 5 to rotate; at the same time, in order to prevent the powder from clumping, a stirring gear 6 is provided in the box body 1, and the stirring gear 6 is transmission-connected to the spiral conveying rod 5. At the same time, in order to have a better stirring effect, a stirring spring 7 is installed on the end face of the stirring gear 6, and the spiral conveying rod 5 drives the stirring gear 6 and the stirring spring 7 to rotate, and the stirring spring 7 breaks up the clumped powder; when it is necessary to replenish the box body 1, first, the inner sleeve 3 is moved Turn it to the anti-powder-falling position to prevent the powder in the box body from falling out of the inner sleeve 3, then open the box cover 2, and add the corresponding powder into the box body 1; when the powder is added, cover the box cover 2, and then rotate the inner sleeve 3 to make the discharge hole 301 at the discharge position. At this time, due to the large amount of powder just added to the box body 1, some of the powder will be located at the discharge hole 301. Therefore, when the discharge hole 301 is in the discharge position, some of the powder will fall from the discharge hole 301. Since the second discharge pipe 401 on the outer sleeve 4 is always facing the container for receiving the powder at this time, the powder falling from the discharge hole 301 will directly flow along the second discharge pipe 401. The powder material falls into the container for receiving the powder material, thereby preventing the powder material from falling into other positions of the machine body; the traditional way is to rotate the outer sleeve 4, but with this structure, when the second discharge pipe 401 has not been fully rotated to the preset position, powder material will fall from the second discharge pipe 401 to other positions of the machine body; in summary, the anti-falling powder box cooperates with the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 4, and the outlet of the second discharge pipe 401 is always facing the container for receiving the powder material, and the powder falling out of the discharge hole 301 of the inner sleeve 3 always falls from the outlet of the second discharge pipe 401 into the container for receiving the powder material, which can effectively prevent the powder material from falling into other positions of the machine body.

[0050] Furthermore, a rotating portion 302 is provided at the end of the second end of the inner sleeve 3 , and the rotating portion 302 passes through the end of the outer sleeve 4 .

[0051] Further, at least two snap portions 402 are provided at the end of the outer sleeve 4, and at least two of the snap portions 402 are arranged around the rotating portion 302. The plurality of snap portions 402 apply resistance to the rotation of the rotating portion 302, so that the discharge hole 301 is in the anti-powder-drop position or the discharge position.

[0052] In this embodiment, by restricting the rotating portion 302 with the snap portion 402, it is possible to effectively prevent the inner sleeve 3 from rotating due to external factors, causing the discharge hole 301 to shift; at the same time, the merchant can overcome the resistance brought by the snap portion 402 to rotate the inner sleeve 3 so that the discharge hole 301 is in the anti-powder-drop position or the discharge position; at the same time, in order to better know whether the discharge hole 301 is currently in the anti-powder-drop position or the discharge position, position markings are provided on the end face of the rotating portion 302 and the end face of the outer sleeve 4.

[0053] Further, a limiting member 8 is provided on the box body 1, and a limiting portion 403 protruding outward is provided at the end of the first end of the outer sleeve 4;

[0054] The limiting portion 403 is clamped between the box body 1 and the limiting member 8, and is used to limit the outer sleeve 4 from moving away from the box body 1;

[0055] The inner wall of the end face of the second end of the outer sleeve 4 abuts against the outer wall of the end face of the second end of the inner sleeve 3, and is used to limit the inner sleeve 3 from moving away from the box body 1.

[0056] Further, the limiting portion 403 is provided with a cut edge, so that the outer sleeve 4 can be disengaged from the restriction of the limiting member 8 through the cut edge, thereby removing the outer sleeve 4; the outer sleeve 4 has a removal position, and when the outer sleeve 4 is in the removal position, the second discharge pipe 401 faces left or right.

[0057] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 403 is used to limit the radial movement of the outer sleeve 4 and the inner sleeve 3. At the same time, a cut edge is provided on the limiting portion 403 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the outer sleeve 4 and the inner sleeve 3.

[0058] Further, the box body 1 includes a main box body 101 and a sub-box body 102;

[0059] The first discharge pipe 1011 is located in the main box body 101, and a first card slot portion 1012 is provided at the top of the main box body 101;

[0060] The sub-box body 102 has a hollow structure. A first snap portion 1021 is provided at the bottom of the sub-box body 102, and a second card slot portion 1022 is provided at the top of the sub-box body 102; the first snap portion 1021 is used to snap into the first card slot portion 1012, so that the sub-box body 102 is spliced on the main box body 101;

[0061] The box cover 2 is detachably mounted on the top of the main box body 101 or the top of the sub-box body 102.

[0062] Further, another sub-box body 102 is detachably mounted on the top of the sub-box body 102;

[0063] The first snap portion 1021 of the upper sub-box body 102 is snap-connected to the second card slot portion 1022 of the lower sub-box body 102;

[0064] The box cover 2 is detachably mounted on the top of the uppermost sub-box body 102.

[0065] Further, a third card slot portion 1013 is provided at one end of the main box body 101;
