[0040] Combine Figures 1 to 2 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, an automatic loading device is provided.

[0041] Specifically, the automatic loading device includes a crane assembly 1, a mobile hopper 2, and a control module 4. The crane assembly 1 includes a crane track 11 and a crane body 12, which is slidably connected to the crane track 11. The mobile hopper 2 is connected to the crane body 12 via a lifting assembly 3. The lifting assembly 3 moves vertically, driving the mobile hopper 2 in the vertical direction. The control module 4 is electrically connected to the crane assembly 1 and the lifting assembly 3 and is used to control the start and stop of the crane body 12 and the lifting assembly 3.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile hopper 2 is connected to the trolley body 12 via the lifting assembly 3. The control module 4 is electrically connected to the trolley assembly 1 and the lifting assembly 3. The control module 4 controls the trolley body 12 to move the mobile hopper 2 along the trolley track 11, thereby achieving horizontal movement of the mobile hopper 2, and controls the lifting assembly 3 to move the mobile hopper 2 vertically. In the above scheme, the control module 4 is operated to control the movement of the mobile hopper 2 along a preset trajectory, thereby achieving precise addition of raw materials through the mobile hopper 2, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the occurrence of safety hazards.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, a traveling track 11 is suspended above the reactor 50. The traveling track 11 uses a linear guide rail. The traveling body 12 is slidably connected to the traveling track 11. The traveling body 12 is provided with a first servo motor, which drives the traveling body 12 to move along the traveling track 11. The lifting assembly 3 uses an electric hoist. The lifting assembly 3 is connected to the traveling body 12. The lifting assembly 3 is connected to the mobile hopper 2 through a traction rope. The lifting assembly 3 is provided with a second servo motor. The second servo motor drives the traction rope of the lifting assembly 3 to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the mobile hopper 2. The control module 4 includes a servo controller 41. The first servo motor and the second servo motor are connected to the servo controller 41 for signal transmission. The servo controller 41 controls the operation of the first servo motor and the second servo motor.

[0044] It should be noted that the preparation workshop is equipped with a first workstation 40 and a second workstation. The raw materials are stored in the first workstation 40, and the mobile hopper 2 needs to be moved to the first workstation 40 for adding materials; the reactor 50 is located at the second workstation, and the mobile hopper 2 filled with raw materials needs to be moved to the second workstation to add materials into the reactor 50.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the automatic feeding device also includes a fixed hopper 5 and a screw conveyor 6. The fixed hopper 5 is located below the driving track 11. The fixed hopper 5 is connected to the feed port of the reactor 50. The screw conveyor 6 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The inlet of the screw conveyor 6 is connected to the outlet of the fixed hopper 5, and the outlet of the screw conveyor 6 is connected to the feed port of the reactor 50. The setting of the fixed hopper 5 and the inlet of the fixed hopper 5 as an indirect feed port of the reactor 50 have expanded the diameter of the feed port of the reactor 50 to a certain extent, reduced the accuracy requirements for the positioning of the mobile hopper 2, and thus reduced production costs. Compared with the conveying pipe, the setting of the screw conveyor 6 makes the mixing of the raw materials more complete and prevents the raw materials from adhering to the pipe wall of the conveying pipe.

[0046] The automatic loading device further includes a sensing block and a first sensor 7. The sensing block is mounted on the trolley track 11, and the first sensor 7 is mounted on the trolley body 12. The first sensor 7 is electrically connected to the control module 4 and is configured to sense a first position signal from the sensing block and transmit the first position signal to the control module 4. The provision of the first sensor 7 enables more precise positioning of the trolley body 12, thereby enabling more accurate addition of raw materials to the reactor 50.

[0047] Specifically, the induction blocks include at least two groups, one of which is positioned directly above the first station 40, and the other group of induction blocks is positioned directly above the second station. When the crane body 12 moves directly above the first station 40, the servo controller 41 controls the first servo motor to cause the crane body 12 to remain in the position for a first preset time period to allow the raw materials to be added to the mobile hopper 2. When the crane body 12 moves directly above the second station, the servo controller 41 controls the first servo motor to cause the crane body 12 to remain in the position for a second preset time period to allow the raw materials to be added to the reactor 50 via the mobile hopper 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the automatic loading device further includes a second sensor 8, which is installed at the first station 40. The first station 40 is used to load the mobile hopper 2. The second sensor 8 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The second sensor 8 is used to sense a second position signal of the mobile hopper 2 and send the second position signal to the control module 4. By providing the second sensor 8, the positioning of the mobile hopper 2 is made more accurate.

[0049] Specifically, after the mobile hopper 2 moves to directly above the first station 40, the servo controller 41 controls the second servo motor to operate, causing the traction rope of the lifting assembly 3 to move vertically downward. When the mobile hopper 2 moves to the second station, the second sensor 8 senses the position signal (second position signal) of the mobile hopper 2. The servo controller 41 controls the traction rope to stop for a preset time based on the second position signal. After the mobile hopper 2 is filled with raw materials, the traction rope is controlled to drive the mobile hopper 2 to move to a preset height. When the mobile hopper 2 is adding materials to the reactor 50, the mobile hopper 2 is at the preset height.

[0050] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes a third sensor 9 and a first valve. The third sensor 9 is installed at the second station, which is used to feed the fixed hopper 5. The third sensor 9 is electrically connected to the control module 4 and is used to sense the third position signal of the mobile hopper 2 and transmit the third position signal to the control module 4. The first valve is located at the outlet of the mobile hopper 2 and is connected to the control module 4 by signal. The control module 4 controls the opening and closing of the first valve based on the third position signal. The installation of the third sensor 9 makes feeding more accurate.

[0051] Specifically, a third sensor 9 is installed at the inlet of the fixed hopper 5 and is used to sense the position signal (third position signal) of the mobile hopper 2. The control module 4 includes a DCS controller 42, which is connected to the third sensor 9 and the first valve signal. The DCS controller 42 controls the opening and closing of the first valve based on the received third position signal. In other words, when the mobile hopper 2 moves to the second position, the DCS controller 42 controls the opening of the first valve to allow the mobile hopper 2 to feed the fixed hopper 5.

[0052] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes a fourth sensor 10 and a second valve. The fourth sensor 10 is mounted on the fixed hopper 5 and electrically connected to the control module 4. It senses the material level in the fixed hopper 5 and transmits this signal to the control module 4. A second valve is located at the outlet of the fixed hopper 5 and is signal-connected to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the opening and closing of the second valve based on the material level signal. The fourth sensor 10 ensures more accurate feeding.

[0053] Specifically, the fourth sensor 10 is mounted on the fixed hopper 5, with its probe extending into the interior of the fixed hopper 5 to sense the material level therein. The DCS controller 42 is signal-connected to the fourth sensor 10 and the second valve. The DCS controller 42 controls the opening and closing of the second valve based on the material level signal. Specifically, when the fixed hopper 5 is not full, the second valve opens to allow material to be added to the hopper 5.

[0054] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes a third valve, which is located at the inlet of the fixed hopper 5 and is connected to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the opening and closing of the third valve according to the material level signal. The provision of the third valve makes feeding more accurate.

[0055] Specifically, the fourth sensor 10 is mounted on the fixed hopper 5, with its probe extending into the interior of the fixed hopper 5 to sense the material level therein. The DCS controller 42 is signal-connected to the fourth sensor 10 and the third valve. The DCS controller 42 controls the opening and closing of the third valve based on the material level signal. Specifically, when the fixed hopper 5 is full, the third valve opens to allow material to be added to the reactor 50.

[0056] Furthermore, the automatic loading device also includes: a first monitoring component 20, which is arranged above the driving component 1, and the first monitoring component 20 is used to monitor the driving condition of the driving component 1.

[0057] Specifically, the first monitoring component 20 includes a first camera and a display, and the first camera and the display are signal-connected. The first camera is used to monitor whether the driving component 1 has any faults to ensure stable operation of the driving component 1. The driving condition of the driving component 1 can be displayed on the display.

[0058] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes: a second monitoring component 30, which is arranged close to the fixed hopper 5 and is used to monitor the feeding condition of the mobile hopper 2.

[0059] Specifically, the second monitoring component 30 includes a second camera and a display, and monitors the feeding status of the mobile hopper 2 through the second camera to ensure accurate feeding of the reactor 50. The feeding status of the mobile hopper 2 can be displayed through the display.

[0060] Furthermore, the automatic feeding device also includes: an alarm component, which is signal-connected to the first monitoring component 20 and the second monitoring component 30, and the alarm component generates an alarm prompt according to the driving condition and the feeding condition.

[0061] Specifically, the alarm component is connected to the first monitoring component 20 and the second monitoring component 30 by signal. That is, the alarm component compares the received driving and feeding conditions with the preset conditions. When the driving and feeding conditions do not meet the preset conditions, the alarm component will issue an alarm prompt. The preset conditions are that the driving component 1 drives between the first station 40 and the second station without stopping, and the mobile hopper 2 opens its outlet for feeding after being located at the second station. The alarm component can issue an alarm with a signal light or a voice prompt. When the alarm component receives an abnormal condition, that is, the driving component 1 has a stop failure or the mobile hopper 2 outlet cannot be opened, the alarm component will issue an alarm prompt.
