[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a powder stacking device, which includes a frame 10, a powder box 20, a driving member 30, a locking member 40 and a control component 50. The powder box 20 is flippably arranged on the frame 10, the driving member 30 is arranged on the frame 10 and is driven and connected to the powder box 20 to drive the powder box 20 to flip, the locking member 40 is movably arranged on the frame 10, and the locking member 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking member 40 is in the locked state, the locking member 40 limits the powder box 20 from flipping relative to the frame 10, and when the locking member 40 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 40 allows the powder box 20 to flip relative to the frame 10. The control component 50 includes a control member and a monitoring member 51 for detecting the flipping angle of the powder box 20. The control member is respectively connected to the monitoring member 51 and the locking member 40 signals to control the locking member 40 to work according to the monitoring result of the monitoring member 51.
[0030] The powder stacking device provided in this embodiment includes a frame 10, a powder box 20, a driving member 30, a locking member 40 and a control component 50. The driving member 30 is used to drive the powder box 20 to flip to a preset inclination angle to dump the powder in the powder box 20. When the gravity of the powder box 20 is too large or the powder box 20 is placed unstably, the monitoring member 51 is used to detect the flipping angle of the powder box 20. When the powder box 20 flips to the preset inclination angle, the control member controls the locking member 40 to switch to a locked state, so as to use the locking member 40 to limit the flipping of the powder box 20 relative to the frame 10, thereby providing an effective locking and support mechanism for the powder box 20, avoiding the powder box 20 from accidentally moving or falling back during the tilting process, improving the operational safety, system stability and production efficiency of the powder stacking device, reducing material loss, and reducing safety risks in the production process. It is of great significance to improving the automation level and production efficiency of production lines in industries such as food and medicine.
[0031] In related art, during the tilting process, the powder box 20 may unexpectedly fall back due to its own gravity, uneven material distribution, or mechanical failure, causing material spillage. This not only wastes materials but also may pollute the production environment, negatively impacting the quality of food and pharmaceutical production, and increasing cleaning and maintenance costs. Unexpected movement of the powder box 20 during the tilting process increases operator safety risks, potentially causing damage to the powder stack equipment or more serious safety accidents, interrupting the feeding process, and requiring manual intervention to readjust the position of the powder box 20. This not only reduces production efficiency and increases labor intensity, but also may affect the continuity and stability of the production line.
[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the locking member 40 includes a telescopic member 41, which includes a base 411 and a rod 412. The base 411 is disposed on the frame 10, and the rod 412 is movably disposed on the base 411. When the locking member 40 is in a locked state, the rod 412 is engaged with the powder box 20. When the locking member 40 is in an unlocked state, the rod 412 is separated from the powder box 20. Due to the telescopic action of the telescopic member 41, when the locking member 40 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the rod 412 extends relative to the base 411 toward the powder box 20, so that the rod 412 is close to the powder box 20 and engaged with the powder box 20.
[0033] When the locking member 40 is in the locked state, the rod 412 is engaged with the powder box 20, including:
[0034] (1) The rod body 412 is directly engaged with the powder box 20, that is, the end of the rod body 412 facing away from the base body 411 is in direct contact with the powder box 20 and engaged with it;
[0035] (2) The rod body 412 is indirectly engaged with the powder box 20 , that is, a engaging portion is provided at one end of the rod body 412 away from the base body 411 , and the engaging portion can engage with the powder box 20 to enable the rod body 412 to be indirectly engaged with the powder box 20 .
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 40 further includes a clamping block 42, which is disposed at the end of the telescopic member 41 facing away from the base 411. When the locking member 40 is in the locked state, the clamping block 42 is engaged with the powder box 20, and when the locking member 40 is in the unlocked state, the clamping block 42 is separated from the powder box 20. Due to the clamping engagement between the clamping block 42 and the powder box 20, after prolonged use and wear, only the clamping block 42 needs to be replaced for maintenance, without having to replace the telescopic member 41, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the locking member 40.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 40 further includes a mounting frame 43 , the mounting frame 43 is disposed on the frame body 10 , and the base 411 is disposed on the frame body 10 .
[0038] In this embodiment, the movement direction of the rod 412 extends along the flip axis of the powder box 20. This shortens the movement stroke of the rod 412 required for the locking member 40 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state, thereby increasing the response speed of the telescopic member 41 while maintaining the same movement speed of the rod 412.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the monitoring member 51 includes a tilt sensor 511, which is provided on the frame 10 to detect the flip angle of the powder box 20 relative to the frame 10. The tilt sensor 511 is used to detect the flip angle of the powder box 20. When the powder box 20 flips to a preset tilt angle, the control member controls the locking member 40 to switch to a locked state.
[0040] In this embodiment, the tilt sensor 511 includes a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor. The emission direction of the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor is set at a preset angle to the horizontal direction, and the emission direction of the diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor points to the powder box 20.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset inclination angle is 45°.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the powder box 20 includes a tilting frame 21 and a box body 22 placed on the tilting frame 21. The tilting frame 21 is tiltably mounted on the frame 10, and the driving member 30 is drivingly connected to the tilting frame 21. When the box body 22 containing the powder is placed on the tilting frame 21, the driving member 30 drives the tilting frame 21 to tilt, thereby causing the box body 22 to tilt until the powder box 20 tilts to a predetermined angle, thereby dumping the powder in the powder box 20.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the locking member 40 is in the locked state, the locking block 42 is engaged with the flip frame 21 , and when the locking member 40 is in the unlocked state, the locking block 42 is separated from the flip frame 21 .
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring member 51 further includes a box detection member 512, which is disposed on the flip frame 21 to detect whether a box 22 is placed on the flip frame 21. When the box detection member 512 detects that a box 22 is placed on the flip frame 21 and the flip angle of the flip frame 21 reaches a preset inclination angle, the control member controls the locking member 40 to switch to a locked state, thereby utilizing the locking member 40 to restrict the powder box 20 from flipping relative to the frame 10.
[0045] In this embodiment, the box detection member 512 includes a position sensor, which is provided on the rack 10. After the box 22 is placed on the flip rack 21, the box 22 triggers the position sensor so that the box detection member 512 detects that the box 22 is in place.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the powder stack device also includes an alarm component 60, which is connected to the control component signal. When the locking component 40 is in the locked state, if the detection component detects an abnormal state (for example, the box body 22 moves relative to the turning frame 21 or the tilt angle of the turning frame 21 deviates from the preset tilt angle), the control component controls the locking component 40 to adjust the locking force of the locking component 40 and uses the alarm component 60 to sound an alarm to remind the operator to inspect the powder stack device and eliminate potential problems of the powder stack device (such as insufficient support force of the drive component 30 to maintain the powder box 20 at the preset tilt angle, or wear of the block 42), so as to perform early maintenance on the powder stack device.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the powder stack device also includes a power supply and a manual switch 80. The power supply is electrically connected to the driving element 30, the monitoring element 51, and the control element respectively. The manual switch 80 is provided in the circuit between the power supply and the monitoring element 51. The power supply is used to supply power to the driving element 30, the monitoring element 51, and the control element. By switching the switching state of the manual switch 80, the conductive state or the disconnected state between the power supply and the monitoring element 51 is switched, thereby enabling the monitoring element 51 to be manually turned on or off.
[0048] In this embodiment, the powder feeding stack device further includes a material level sensor, which is provided on the powder box 20. The control unit is connected to the material level sensor signal to monitor the powder level in the powder box 20. The material level sensor is used to monitor the powder level in the powder box 20 in real time.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the powder stacking device further includes a hopper 90, which is provided on the frame 10 and located below the powder box 20. When the powder box 20 is flipped to a preset inclination angle, the powder in the powder box 20 is poured into the hopper 90, so that the powder can be processed in the next step.
[0050] Specifically, the driving member 30 includes a cylinder, one end of the cylinder is hingedly connected to the frame, and the other end of the cylinder is hingedly connected to the powder box.
