Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of melamine tableware production technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for melamine tableware production. [Background Technology]

[0002] Melamine tableware, also known as imitation ceramic tableware due to its porcelain-like appearance, is popular among consumers for its lightweight and attractive design, resistance to low temperatures and boiling, durability, resistance to breakage and deformation, good heat retention, and non-scalding properties. However, current melamine tableware production methods, which require manual pouring of material between upper and lower molds, have several drawbacks: First, they pose safety hazards; second, coarse melamine powder often spills outside the molds during manual pouring, requiring replenishment, resulting in waste and low efficiency; and third, incomplete pouring often leaves coarse melamine powder residue.

[0003] In view of this, this case involves in-depth research into the aforementioned issues, which led to the formation of this case. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing an automatic material pouring device for melamine tableware production, which realizes the automatic material pouring function, not only solving the safety hazards of manual material pouring, but also preventing the coarse powder from spilling or leaving residue, and achieving high material pouring efficiency.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an automatic material pouring device for melamine tableware production includes a rotary material pouring mechanism and a material box mounting frame for connecting a robotic arm. The rotary material pouring mechanism is fixedly installed on the material box mounting frame. The rotary material pouring mechanism includes a cylindrical material cylinder and a drive assembly for driving the cylindrical material cylinder to rotate and pour material. A connecting cylinder is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical material cylinder, and the drive shaft of the drive assembly is fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive component is a cylinder, which is connected to a control valve mounted on the robotic arm via an air pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive component is a rotary motor, which is connected to a control valve mounted on the robotic arm via wires.

[0008] Furthermore, the cylindrical barrel is a stainless steel cylindrical barrel.

[0009] Furthermore, the material box mounting frame includes a first main connecting arm, a second main connecting arm, a first auxiliary connecting arm, a second auxiliary connecting arm, and at least one end mounting plate; one end of the first main connecting arm is connected to the robot arm, and the other end is vertically fixedly connected to the middle of the second main connecting arm; one end of the second main connecting arm is vertically fixedly connected to the first auxiliary connecting arm, and the other end is vertically fixedly connected to the second auxiliary connecting arm; the first auxiliary connecting arm and the second auxiliary connecting arm are arranged in parallel; the end mounting plate is vertically fixedly connected to the first auxiliary connecting arm and the second auxiliary connecting arm, and is arranged in parallel with the second main connecting arm; the rotating material pouring mechanism is fixedly connected to the end mounting plate through a fixing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the end mounting plate is connected to multiple rotating material feeding mechanisms.

[0011] Furthermore, the plurality of the rotary unloading mechanisms are equidistantly spaced along the length direction of the end mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of end mounting plates is two, and the two end mounting plates are arranged in parallel.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing plate is locked to the end mounting plate by a locking member, and the fixing plate has a through hole through which the drive shaft of the drive assembly passes.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. When the automatic material pouring device for melamine tableware production of this utility model is working, it is connected to the output end of the robot arm. After the cylindrical material cylinder with its opening facing upward receives the coarse powder for melamine tableware production, the robot arm moves the rotating material pouring mechanism above the receiving tray. The drive component drives the cylindrical material cylinder to rotate 180° with its opening facing downward, realizing the automatic material pouring function. This not only solves the safety hazards of manual material pouring, but also prevents the coarse powder from spilling or leaving any residue, resulting in high material pouring efficiency.

[0016] 2. The cylindrical material cylinder is made of stainless steel, which has the advantage of strong corrosion resistance. It is not easy to rust even after long-term use in high humidity environments, ensuring that the coarse powder used in the production of melamine tableware is free of impurities. The surface of the stainless steel is smooth and does not easily adhere to dirt, so the coarse powder is not easy to remain, ensuring that all the coarse powder can be poured out each time.

There are two end mounting plates 25, and the two end mounting plates 25 are arranged in parallel.

[0031] Preferably, a first connecting reinforcement 26 and a second connecting reinforcement 27 are fixed at the connection between the first main connecting arm 21 and the second main connecting arm 22.

[0032] Preferably, the end mounting plate 25 is connected to a plurality of rotary pouring mechanisms 1, which are equidistantly spaced along the length of the end mounting plate 25, so that multiple cylindrical cylinders 11 can pour material together, thereby improving the pouring efficiency.
