[0004] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows:
[0005] A compact room-temperature liquid metering loss-in-weight scale comprises a base, a bracket arranged on the top of the base, a feeding barrel for feeding, a metering barrel for material metering, a weighing platform component for material weighing, and a metering pump for conveying material; the weighing platform component is mounted on the base; the metering barrel is mounted on the weighing platform component; the feeding barrel is mounted on the top of the bracket; the feeding barrel discharge pipe and the metering barrel feed port are connected in sequence via a pneumatic ball valve, a flange pipe and a soft connector; the metering pump is mounted on the bracket; a tee pipe, a damper and an oil pressure gauge are mounted in sequence at the top connection of the metering pump; a spray gun is mounted on one side of the tee pipe; a flexible elbow and a Y-type filter are mounted in sequence at the bottom connection of the metering pump; the Y-type filter is connected to the discharge pipe at the bottom end of the metering barrel.

[0009] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0010] 1. Due to the configuration of the base, bracket, feeding bucket, metering bucket, weighing platform, metering pump, pneumatic ball valve, flange pipe, flexible connector, flexible elbow, and Y-type filter, when the liquid level gauge alarms low, manual feeding begins by injecting liquid into the feeding bucket through the small nozzle on the feeding bucket lid. When the liquid level gauge reaches high level, the alarm stops, and the feeding bucket is now ready to feed. Because the metering bucket is fixed to the weighing platform, when the load cell senses that the weight of the liquid in the metering bucket has reached the set minimum weight, it sends a signal to the control unit, which controls the opening of the pneumatic ball valve. The feeding bucket then adds liquid to the metering bucket through the pneumatic ball valve, flange pipe, and flexible connector until the liquid weight reaches the set maximum weight. When the load cell senses this, it sends a signal to the control unit, which controls the closing of the pneumatic ball valve, completing the feeding process. The control unit simultaneously controls the metering pump to supply material to downstream equipment such as extruders, mixers, and reactors at a set flow rate and pressure. The metering pump continuously draws liquid from the metering tank, filters it through a Y-type filter, and then flows into a flexible elbow pipe to the metering pump head. The metering pump then pumps it out through a tee to the spray gun, dispensing it. The entire process is a dynamic weighing and metering process. A manual ball valve connected to the feed tank is used to drain the old material from the feed tank when changing materials. The manual ball valve connected to the metering tank is also used to drain the old material from the feed tank when changing materials. The flexible connector, flexible elbow, and rubber gasket are all flexible components that isolate the movement and vibration of upstream and downstream equipment from affecting weighing. A protective block is used to prevent pressure or tension beyond the load cell's range from directly acting on the load cell during transportation. Before transportation, the scale base and scale plate are rigidly bolted together to maximize protection for the load cell. The protective block is removed during measurement. For the existing room temperature liquid metering loss-in-weight scale, Youhua has improved the overall layout structure and made full use of the limited space; the metering pump and liquid storage tank use an integrated mounting bracket, and the bracket is directly welded and fixed to the base, which has a compact structure and improved stability, reducing the impact of the metering pump on the dynamic measurement of liquid during operation, making the measurement more accurate.

[0020] The bottom end of the base 1 is provided with four sets of Forma casters 11 arranged in a rectangular array.
[0021] The bracket 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. The weighing platform component 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. The metering barrel 4 is fixedly mounted on the weighing platform component 5. The feeding barrel 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 2. The discharge pipe of the feeding barrel 3 and the feed inlet of the metering barrel 4 are fixedly connected in sequence by a pneumatic ball valve 7, a flange pipe 8, and a flexible connector 9. The metering pump 6 is fixedly mounted on one side of the bracket 2. A tee pipe 61, a damper 62, and an oil pressure gauge 63 are fixedly mounted in sequence at the top connection of the metering pump 6. A spray gun 64 is fixedly mounted on one side of the tee pipe 61. A flexible elbow 65 and a Y-type filter 66 are fixedly mounted in sequence at the bottom connection of the metering pump 6. The Y-type filter 66 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe at the bottom end of the metering barrel 4. The feeding barrel cover 31 is detachably fixed to the opening of the feeding barrel 3 by a clamp. A liquid level gauge 32 is fixedly mounted on the feeding barrel cover 31, and the liquid level gauge 32 is located in the inner cavity of the feeding barrel 3.

The metering barrel 4 is fixedly mounted on the weighing platform plate 56. Four sets of Forma casters 11 arranged in a rectangular array are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the base 1.
[0022] Due to the arrangement of the base 1, bracket 2, feeding bucket 3, metering bucket 4, weighing platform 5, metering pump 6, pneumatic ball valve 7, flange pipe 8, flexible connector 9, flexible elbow 65, and Y-type filter 66, when the liquid level gauge 32 alarms low, manual feeding begins by injecting liquid into the feeding bucket 3 through the small nozzle on the feeding bucket lid 31. When the liquid level gauge 32 reaches a high level, the alarm stops, and the feeding bucket 3 is now ready for feeding. Because the metering bucket 4 is fixedly mounted on the weighing platform 5, when the load cell 55 senses that the weight of the liquid in the metering bucket 4 has reached a set minimum weight, it sends a signal to the control unit, which controls the pneumatic ball valve 7 to open, and the feeding bucket 3 then adds liquid to the metering bucket 4 through the pneumatic ball valve 7, flange pipe 8, and flexible connector 9 until the liquid weight reaches the set maximum weight.

As metering pump 6 operates, liquid is continuously drawn from metering barrel 4, filtered through Y-type filter 66, and then pumped into flexible elbow 65 to the pump head of metering pump 6. This pump is then pumped out by metering pump 6 and sprayed through tee 61 to spray gun 64. The entire process is a dynamic weighing and metering process. The manual ball valve 33 connected to the feed barrel 3 is used to drain old material when the feed barrel 3 is replaced.

The protective block 52 is used to prevent pressure or tension beyond the measuring range of the weighing sensor 55 from directly acting on the weighing sensor 55 during transportation. Before transportation, the scale base 53 and the scale table 56 are directly and rigidly connected with bolts to maximize the protection of the weighing sensor 55. The protective block 52 is removed during measurement. Compared with existing room-temperature liquid loss-in-weight scales, the overall layout structure has been optimized to fully utilize the limited space. The metering pump 6 and liquid storage tank are installed with an integrated mounting bracket, and the bracket 2 is directly welded to the base 1. The structure is compact and the stability is improved. The influence of the metering pump 6 on the dynamic liquid delivery is reduced, making the measurement more accurate.
