[0032] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a weight-loss method accurate metering dosing machine with simple structure, low cost, precise quantitative delivery of medicine, reduced blockage and resistance, meeting the requirements of granular medicines of different properties, and can be widely adapted to the field of resource and environmental technology, and can be used in conjunction with different types of medicine preparation equipment, such as sewage dosing and pharmaceutical process equipment.
[0033] Specifically, the loss-in-weight method precision metering dosing machine mainly includes a drive device 10, a feed hopper body 20, a storage box 30, an agitator 40, a drug delivery screw 50, a drug delivery cartridge assembly 60, a weighing system 70, and an electronic control box 80. Among them, the storage box 30, the feed hopper body 20, and the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60 are connected in sequence. Materials, such as medicines, can be placed in the storage box 30 and then output and put into supporting equipment such as sewage treatment equipment and drug mixing equipment through the feed hopper body 20 and the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60 in sequence. The agitator 40 is arranged in the feed hopper body 20. The agitator 40 is used to stir the materials in the feed hopper body 20 to prevent the materials from adhering to and clogging in the feed hopper body 20. The drug delivery screw 50 is arranged in the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60. The drug delivery screw 50 is used to transport materials. The drive device 10 is connected to the agitator 40 and the drug delivery screw 50, respectively, and is used to drive the agitator 40 and the drug delivery screw 50 to rotate. The drive device 10, the feed hopper body 20, the storage box 30, the agitator 40, the drug delivery screw 50, and the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60 are all mounted on a weighing system 70. The weighing system 70 is capable of measuring the weight of the drive device 10, the feed hopper body 20, the storage box 30, the agitator 40, the drug delivery screw 50, the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60, and the material within the dosing machine, thereby obtaining the weight loss of the material over a certain period of time and more accurately controlling the material output. The electrical control box 80 is provided separately from the weighing system 70 and can be placed in a location convenient for manual operation according to actual needs. The electrical control box 80 is electrically connected to the weighing system 70 and the drive device 10, respectively, and is used to receive weight signals sent by the weighing system 70 and start and stop the starting device 10 based on the received weight signal and a preset target weight. This embodiment can adjust the delivery volume by measuring the weight loss of the silo in real time, comparing it with the delivery requirements in real time, and adjusting the screw speed in time, so that the dosing machine can accurately deliver the medicine according to the set value.
[0034] In some examples, the drive device 10 includes a motor 11, a reduction gearbox 12, a screw drive shaft 13, and an agitator shaft 14. The motor 11 is connected to the input of the reduction gearbox 12, which has multiple outputs, with the screw drive shaft 13 and the agitator shaft 14 connected to different outputs. The drive device 10 is structurally stable and easy to disassemble and assemble. The motor 11's variable speed drive, coupled through the reduction gearbox 12, simultaneously drives the screw drive shaft 13 and the agitator shaft 14, simplifying the structure and control methods for agitation and screw conveying.
[0035] In some examples, the servo motor 11 is an AC servo motor. The servo motor has the advantages of low cost and a wide speed range, so that the dosing machine can deliver a wide range of drug amounts per unit time.
[0036] In some examples, the drug delivery screw 50 is a twin screw, which has a higher delivery efficiency. There are two screw drive shafts 13 arranged in parallel, and the two screw drive shafts 13 are driven to rotate by the same motor 11.
[0037] In some examples, the reduction gearbox 12 is configured such that the rotational speed of the agitator shaft 14 is lower than the rotational speed of the screw drive shaft 13, thereby meeting the different speed requirements for agitation and screw delivery. For example, the reduction gearbox 12 may include a gear set including a driving gear connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 11, a first driven gear connected to the agitator shaft 14, and a second driven gear connected to the medication delivery screw 50, with the diameter of the first driven gear being larger than the diameter of the second driven gear.
[0038] In some examples, the stirring shaft 14 is disposed above the screw drive shaft 13 and cooperates with the structure in which the feed hopper body 20 is disposed above the drug delivery barrel assembly 60 to facilitate the material to enter the drug delivery barrel assembly 60 from the feed hopper body 20 under the action of gravity.
[0039] In some examples, the screw drive shaft 13 and the drug delivery screw 50 are fixed with a built-in bayonet, which is not easy to loosen or fall off. For example, the drug delivery screw 50 is provided with a bayonet, and the screw drive shaft 13 extends into the drug delivery screw 50 and cooperates with the drug delivery screw 50, which facilitates assembly and maintenance.
[0040] In some examples, the feed hopper body 20 includes a hemispherical body, the area of which gradually decreases from top to bottom. The upper end of the feed hopper body 20 is connected to the storage box 30, and the lower end of the feed hopper body 20 is connected to the feeding end of the drug delivery screw 50, so that the material is easily collected at the output port of the feed hopper body 20. The agitator 40 includes at least two arc-shaped stirring blades 41. The stirring blades 41 rotate around the center of the hemispherical body, for example, around a horizontal axis. The ends of the stirring blades 41 are adjacent to or in contact with the inner wall of the feed hopper body 20. The material is stirred and turned in a close-fitting manner by the agitator 40 rotating around the center of the sphere, which is less likely to cause arch bridges or blockages. The stirring blades 41 scrape the material in the feed hopper body 20, especially the inner wall of the feed hopper body 20, and can achieve all-round stirring of the bottom and inner wall of the feed hopper body 2 without leaving any dead corners.
[0041] In some examples, the storage bin 30 includes a cylinder 31 and a conical cylinder 32 connected to the bottom end of the cylinder 31 to store the materials. The conical cylinder 32 has a certain inclination to facilitate the collection of materials. The inner walls of the cylinder 31 and the conical cylinder 32 are both smooth, so the materials are not easily adhered to the inner surfaces.
[0042] In some examples, the storage box 30 further includes a box cover 33 connected to the top of the cylinder 31 to prevent impurities from entering the storage box 30. The inside of the box cover 33 can be provided with a moisture-proof device, such as blended moisture-absorbing cotton, to keep the box dry and free of moisture.
[0043] In some examples, the cylinder 31 and the cone 32 are made of stainless steel, which has high strength and a smooth surface.
[0044] In some examples, the bottom end of the cone 32 is locked and connected to the feed hopper body 20 by a clamp 34, and the connection between the two is firmly sealed. A sealing ring, such as a natural rubber sealing ring, is provided between the bottom end of the cone 32 and the feed hopper body 20, making the two easy to assemble and disassemble, simple to maintain, and low in maintenance cost.
[0045] In some examples, the drug delivery screw 50 is made of stainless steel 304, which has the advantage of corrosion resistance. The drug delivery screw 50 includes a solid surface spiral blade 41. The drug delivery screw 50 has a smooth surface and a tooth shape that is not easy to hide the drug, further reducing obstruction.
[0046] In some examples, the drug delivery screw 50 is a twin screw, and the spiral blades 51 of the twin screws are meshed with each other to achieve self-cleaning, thereby preventing the delivered material from adhering to the spiral blades 51 and affecting delivery.
[0047] In some examples, the drug delivery cartridge assembly 60 includes a screw chamber 61 that accommodates the drug delivery screw 50 and a drug delivery port 62 disposed at the delivery end of the screw chamber 61. The drug delivery port 62 includes a downward opening to facilitate the delivery of the material under the action of gravity. The drug delivery port 62 has an observation window 63 located at the top of the drug delivery port 62 for easy observation of the drug delivery status.
[0048] In some examples, a sealing ring, such as a rubber sealing ring, is provided between the feed end of the screw chamber 61 and the feed hopper body 20 and is connected by a clamping bolt 64 , which has good sealing performance and is easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0049] In some examples, the feed hopper body 20 and the driving device 1 are also installed using clamping bolts, which are easy to assemble and disassemble and easy to clean.
[0050] In some examples, the weighing system 70 includes a weighing sensor 71 . For example, the weighing sensor 71 can convert the net weight and gross weight of the dosing machine component with the material placed thereon into signals and transmit them to the electrical control box 8 .
[0051] In some examples, the electric control box 80 includes a PLC 81, a servo motor driver 82 and an input receiver 83, wherein the input receiver 83 is electrically connected to the PLC 81, and the PLC 81 is electrically connected to the weighing sensor 71 and the servo motor driver 82 respectively, and the servo motor driver 82 is electrically connected to the drive device 10. The PLC 81 and the servo motor driver 82 can also be electrically connected to a power supply respectively. The input receiver 83 can be a button, a touch screen, etc., and the input receiver 83 can also be provided with a display for displaying the device operation data in real time. The PLC 81 is used to receive the parameters input by the user and the weight signal obtained from the weighing sensor 71, compare the weight loss weight and the target dosage weight in real time, and control the servo motor driver 82 accordingly, so as to achieve accurate dosage.
[0052] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
