The horizontal bracket 151 is connected to the vertical bracket 153 through the connecting bracket 152. The hopper main body 30 is connected to the horizontal bracket 151. The first casing 16, the second casing 17, the third casing 18, and the fourth casing 19 are arranged at intervals on the horizontal bracket 151. Through this setting of different directions of the horizontal bracket 151 and the vertical bracket 153, the transportation direction of the material can be better adapted, and the cooperation between the entire fixing bracket 10 and the feeding device and the receiving device can be facilitated.

[0073] In order to improve the structural strength of the bracket main body 15, the bracket main body 15 further includes a reinforcing bracket 154, and the reinforcing bracket 154 is connected to both the connecting bracket 152 and the vertical bracket 153.

[0074] At the same time, in this embodiment, in order to further improve the connection stability and strength between the casing and the bracket main body 15, the bracket main body 15 further includes a first reinforcing pipe 155, a second reinforcing pipe 156, and a third reinforcing pipe 157. The first reinforcing pipe 155 is located between the horizontal bracket 151 and the first casing 16, and is connected to both the horizontal bracket 151 and the first casing 16. The second reinforcing pipe 156 is located between the horizontal bracket 151 and the second casing 17 and the third casing 18, and is connected to the horizontal bracket 151, the second casing 17, and the third casing 18. The third reinforcing pipe 157 is located between the horizontal bracket 151 and the fourth casing 19, and is connected to both the horizontal bracket 151 and the fourth casing 19.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7Exploded view of the hopper body 30 provided in this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 7 , specifically, the hopper body 30 includes a feed plate 35, a first side plate 36, a second side plate 37, and a baffle 38. The feed plate 35, the first side plate 36, and the second side plate 37 are all connected to the fixed frame 10. The feed plate 35 is disposed opposite to the baffle 38, and the first side plate 36 is disposed opposite to the second side plate 37. The feed plate 35 is provided with a feed port 31, and the guide member 40 is rotatably connected to the feed plate 35; the feed plate 35, the first side plate 36, the baffle 38, and the second side plate 37 are sequentially connected end to end to enclose a feed chamber 32, a first discharge port 33, and a second discharge port 34.

[0076] By the relative arrangement of the baffle 38 and the feed plate 35, the materials entering the feed chamber 32 can be blocked and limited to prevent the materials from rushing out of the opening range of the feed chamber 32, facilitating the transportation of the materials from the first discharge port 33 and the second discharge port 34.

[0077] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first discharge port 33 is communicated with the second discharge port 34. In this way, when the guide member 40 is switched to the first working position and the materials enter from the first switching port 311, if there are a large number of materials and it is not easy to quickly transport them out from the first discharge port 33, some materials can also fall into another receiving device through the second discharge port 34, improving the transportation efficiency and loading efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the first discharge port 33 and the second discharge port 34 can also be separated by structures such as a partition, which can realize the sorting of different materials and perform different operations such as boxing, cartoning, or bagging.

[0078] And in order to facilitate the observation of the materials, in this embodiment, the baffle 38 is provided as a transparent baffle.

[0079] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 Schematic structural diagram of the guide member 40 provided in this embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the guide member 40 includes a rocker 41, a guide plate 42, and a rotating shaft 43. The rocker 41 is connected to the guide plate 42, and both the rocker 41 and the guide plate 42 are located on the feed plate 35 to be used for dividing the feed port 31 into a first switching port 311 and a second switching port 312. The rotating shaft 43 is simultaneously connected to the rocker 41 and the guide plate 42; the hopper body 30 further includes a rotating shaft sleeve 39. The rotating shaft sleeve 39 is disposed on the feed plate 35 and is located on the side of the feed plate 35 close to the feed chamber 32. The rotating shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 39.

[0080] It is easy to understand that the guide plate 42 can be switched back and forth at the working position of the feed inlet 31 by manually or using an automated machine to rock the rocker 41. By arranging the rotary shaft sleeve 39 on the side of the feed plate 35 close to the feed cavity 32, when the rotary shaft 43 rotates in cooperation with the rotary shaft sleeve 39, the guide plate 42 can more conveniently switch and distribute the materials.

[0081] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a hopper device 100 and a loading device. The hopper device 100 includes a fixed frame 10, a hopper main body 30, and a guiding member 40. The hopper main body 30 is arranged on the fixed frame 10. The hopper main body 30 has a feed inlet 31, a feed cavity 32, a first discharge port 33, and a second discharge port 34. The guiding member 40 is rotatably connected to the hopper main body 30 and is located at the feed inlet 31 to separate the feed inlet 31 into a first switching port 311 and a second switching port 312. The first switching port 311, the feed cavity 32, and the first discharge port 33 are sequentially connected, and the second switching port 312, the feed cavity 32, and the second discharge port 34 are sequentially connected. By rotating the guiding member 40, the first switching port 311 or the second switching port 312 can be switched to convey materials into the feed cavity 32, so that the feed inlet 31 has two working positions.

[0082] Specifically, during the process of operating the device to transport and load materials, first, two receiving devices are respectively arranged at the first discharge port 33 and the second discharge port 34. Then, the guiding member 40 is rotated by a certain angle, so that the hopper device 100 is in the first working position for material transfer, and the second working position is in a waiting state. At this time, the materials enter the first switching port 311, the feed cavity 32, and the first discharge port 33 in sequence through the feeding device and are received by one of the receiving devices; when the materials in the receiving device are full, the guiding member 40 is rotated in the opposite direction by a certain angle to switch the materials to the second working position for transfer. At this time, the materials enter the second switching port 312, the feed cavity 32, and the second discharge port 34 in sequence through the feeding device and are received by the other receiving device; during this process, after the previous receiving device is removed and the materials are emptied, it is continued to be placed at the first discharge port 33 to wait for receiving materials next time, or a new receiving device is directly replaced for receiving; thus, the receiving device can be quickly switched for loading, realizing the seamless connection of operations such as receiving and transferring materials without interruption, and improving the production efficiency.

[0083] The loading device includes a hopper device 100, which has all the functions and beneficial effects of the hopper device 100.
