[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The support assembly includes a support block 41. The upper surface of the support block 41 is penetrated by a threaded rod 42 and rotatably connected. The top of the threaded rod 42 is set in a handwheel shape for easy grasping. The right surface of the tank body 1 is penetrated by a support plate 43 and slidably connected. The support plate 43 slides longitudinally. The lower surface of the support plate 43 is provided with a universal wheel 44. There are multiple groups of universal wheels 44, which are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the support plate 43.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4, there are multiple groups of partitions 32, and the multiple groups of partitions 32 are evenly distributed in an array on the outer wall of the central axis 31. The partitions 32 are used to separate different types of metal powders. The partitions 32 are inserted into the upper surface of the tank body 1. The upper surface of the tank body 1 is provided with a slot, and the partitions 32 can be inserted into the slot. The upper surfaces of the guide plate 33, the insertion rod 34, and the pressing block 35 are flat. The upper surface of the pressing block 35 is set to an inclined shape, with the inclined surface lower on the left and higher on the right. A discharge trough 301 is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the guide plate 33, and the lower surface of the guide plate 33 is in contact with the upper surface of the partition 32. The lower surfaces of the partition 32 and the central axis 31 are in contact with the inner wall of the bottom end of the tank body 1. The pressing block 35 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion rod 34 and slides longitudinally. One end of the compression spring 36 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing block 35, and the other end of the compression spring 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the insertion rod 34. When the pressing block 35 is pressed downward, it will squeeze the compression spring 36 to produce a reaction force. Pressing the pressing block 35 requires a certain amount of force. The upper surface of the connecting rod 37 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing block 35, and the connecting rod 37 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion rod 34. The positioning block 38 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion rod 34. When the positioning block 38 slides downward, it will squeeze the card block 310, and the card block 310 is inserted into the inner wall of the card slot 302.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The upper surface of the card block 310 is set to an arc surface. When the arc surface of the card block 310 is squeezed, the card block 310 will move horizontally to the edge of the card slot 302. The front and rear surfaces of the card block 310 are provided with arc chamfers. When the card block 310 is located at the edge of the card slot 302, the arc chamfers will contact the insertion rod 34, and the card block 310 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the central shaft 31. One end of the connecting spring 39 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the card block 310, and the other end of the connecting spring 39 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left side of the central shaft 31. When the card block 310 moves to the left, it will gradually disengage from the card slot 302 to release the limit, and will squeeze the connecting spring 39 to generate a reaction force.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 2 The threaded rod 42 passes through and is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 43. When the threaded rod 42 rotates, it drives the support plate 43 and the universal wheel 44 to move longitudinally.

[0037] When the can 31 is fully inserted into the center shaft 31, the lower surface of the guide plate 33 will contact the upper surface of the center shaft 31 and the partition 32. Then, the can 31 is rotated to align the card block 310 with the card slot 302. At this time, the reaction force of the connecting spring 39 will push the card block 310 and the card slot 302 to insert and limit the can 31 and the guide plate 33. At this time, the discharge chute 301 will align with the gap between the two partitions 32, and then the metal powder will be poured in. The metal powder will be moved along the guide The inclined surface of the plate 33 flows into the corresponding compartment of the discharge trough 301. When another type of metal powder is needed to store, the pressing block 35 is pressed downward to drive the connecting rod 37 and the positioning block 38 to move downward. The downward moving pressing block 35 will squeeze the compression spring 36 to generate a reaction force, and the downward moving positioning block 38 will squeeze the arc surface of the card block 310 to make the card block 310 move to the edge of the card slot 302, and when the card block 310 moves, it will also squeeze the connecting spring 39 to generate a reaction force. At this time, the rotating guide plate 33 drives the insertion rod 34 to rotate. When it rotates ninety degrees, the card block 310 will be aligned with the card slot 302 again. The reaction force of the connecting spring 39 will push the card block 310 and the card slot 302 to plug into the insertion rod 34 and the guide plate 33 to limit the position. The reaction force of the compression spring 36 will also push the pressing block 35, the connecting rod 37, and the positioning block 38 to move upward, and the upper surface of the pressing block 35 will be flush with the upper surface of the guide plate 33.

[0038] When rotated ninety degrees, the discharge chute 301 will also be aligned with another partition, making it convenient to store another metal powder in the gap between the other partition 32. When the metal powder needs to be taken out, press the pressure block 35 downward and rotate the insertion rod 34 to completely disengage the block 310 and the slot 302, then move the guide plate 33 upward to complete the disassembly of the guide plate 33 and the insertion rod 34 to facilitate the removal of the metal powder.

[0039] After the tank body 1 is filled with metal powder, the tank cover 2 is closed. At this time, the weight of the tank body 1 will be relatively heavy (normally about 100 pounds), and it is more difficult to move. At this time, one staff member can lift the tank body 1, and another staff member rotates the threaded rod 42 to lower the support plate 43 and the universal wheel 44, which can be easily moved. When moving to the designated location, the threaded rod 42 can be rotated in the opposite direction to retract the support plate 43 and the universal wheel 44 to ensure the stability of the tank body 1 when placed.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
