Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metering receiving bins, in particular to a negative pressure conveying metering receiving bin. Background Art

[0002] Pneumatic conveying is a technology that uses the flow of air (or gas) as a conveying force to transport bulk solid materials through pipelines. Pneumatic conveying developed with the needs of material handling and some industrial processes, and pneumatic conveying technology has been widely used since the mid-to-late 20th century.

[0003] When powders are used in plastic raw material processing, most production lines utilize gas conveying, using air flow to transport the powder from one location to a specific one. This method of gas conveying is often vacuum conveying, and the vacuum conveying equipment primarily includes a vacuum pump, vacuum piping, storage silos, filters, material pipelines, raw material bins, valves, and an electrical control cabinet. When the vacuum pump is started, it is connected via vacuum piping to an intermediate storage silo, which is then connected to the raw material bin via a material pipe. This creates a negative pressure in the entire system, drawing the raw material into the silo. Once a certain amount of raw material is stored in the silo, the vacuum pump stops, stopping the intake process and opening the discharge port to feed the raw material into the extruder. Currently, vacuum conveying is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and accurate metering requires extensive equipment and space, increasing material transportation costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] A further technical solution is: the suction device includes a distribution ball valve, a suction steel wire hose, a material suction steel wire hose, a pneumatic ball valve, an air-breaking cylinder, a pulse valve and an air storage bag; the material suction steel wire hose is connected between the distribution ball valve and the metering silo, and the distribution ball valve is installed on the pipe bracket; the pneumatic ball valve is connected between the silo cover and the suction steel wire hose, and the suction steel wire hose is installed on the pipe bracket; the air-breaking cylinder is installed on the top of the silo cover; the air storage bag is installed on the upper cylinder; several groups of pulse valves arranged in a linear array are provided on the air storage bag, and the pulse valve is connected to the silo cover.

[0008] A further technical solution is: a vibrating air hammer is provided at the bottom of the metering silo.

[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 use of the installation bracket, pipe bracket, metering silo, upper cylinder, filter element, silo cover, suction device and weighing module, when the equipment is sucking and metering, the staff will set the suction parameters, and the corresponding distribution ball valve will be activated. At this time, the air-breaking cylinder will be closed, and the pneumatic ball valve will be activated. The suction fan will start working in conjunction with the start, and the material will be sucked into the metering silo along the suction wire hose. A guide tube is set at the feed port of the metering silo to avoid physical impact on the filter element. The filter element separates the material and air. The suction weight will be fed back to the system by the weighing module. When the set suction parameters are reached, the distribution ball valve and pneumatic ball valve are closed, and the air-breaking cylinder is opened. When the equipment finishes sucking and discharging, the discharge butterfly valve is opened, and the vibrating air hammer works to assist in unloading. The pulse valve starts to backflush and clean the filter element intermittently until the discharge is completed. The discharge butterfly valve is closed, and the vibrating air hammer and pulse valve stop one after another. The equipment combines negative pressure conveying and metering. The equipment is streamlined and the pipeline is sealed throughout to avoid dust pollution. It can measure and convey a variety of materials. Workers only need to unpack and place materials in a fixed place to achieve the requirements of fast material transportation and accurate metering, thereby effectively reducing labor and improving production capacity.
