[0002] Currently, the battery industry uses a single method for loading liquid materials into ton containers. Existing technology utilizes a suction gun to load the material into the container. Before loading, manual operation is required to open the container, place the suction gun, start the delivery pump, adjust the suction gun's direction, stop the pump, retract the gun, and close the container. The entire loading process requires human intervention, resulting in low automation. The entire operation is cumbersome, and the ton containers are heavy when filled with liquid materials, placing a heavy physical burden on employees, impacting their physical and mental health, and also resulting in low loading efficiency.

[0003] When the suction gun is working, due to possible errors in processing and installation, the suction gun may fail to rise and fall vertically, and may not be able to be accurately inserted into the ton container from the opening; the angle of the suction gun needs to be adjusted.

[0045] This utility model proposes a material suction device.

[0046] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of this utility model, the suction device includes a frame 10, a lifting drive assembly, a suction gun 30, an adjustment assembly 40, and a floating assembly 50. The bottom of the frame 10 has a loading station for placing a ton container. The lifting drive assembly is mounted on the frame 10. The suction gun 30 is mounted on the lifting drive assembly. The adjustment assembly 40 and the floating assembly 50 are used to adjust the verticality of the suction gun 30. The top of the suction gun 30 is used to communicate with an external silo device. When the lifting drive assembly drives the suction gun 30 to descend, the bottom of the suction gun 30 is inserted into the ton container.

[0047] In one embodiment, the frame 10 may be, for example, a gantry crane, with a loading station at the bottom for placing ton containers. The gantry crane drives a lifting drive assembly to move along the X and Y axes so that the suction gun 30 is positioned directly above the loading station. When the ton containers are conveyed from the unloading end of the upstream process equipment to the loading station, the lifting drive assembly can drive the suction gun 30 to move along the Z axis to lower the suction gun 30 and extend it into the ton containers for loading.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 The lifting drive assembly includes a guide rail 21, a slider 22, and a drive component. The guide rail 21 is mounted on the frame 10. The slider 22 is movably mounted on the guide rail 21 and is connected to the suction gun 30. The drive end of the drive component is connected to the slider 22.

[0049] The guide rail 21 is fixed on the frame 10 and extends vertically. The lifting drive module can be, for example, a linear module or a lead screw module. Taking a linear module as an example, a slider 22 is mounted on the guide rail 21, and the driving component is a motor or cylinder, etc., to drive the slider 22 to move vertically up and down on the guide rail 21.

[0050] The suction gun 30 is connected to the slider 22. When the slider 22 moves vertically up and down, it drives the suction gun 30 to move up and down synchronously. The connection point between the slider 22 and the suction gun 30 is located at the top of the suction gun 30. This ensures that the bottom of the suction gun 30 can be fully inserted into the ton container, avoiding obstruction.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The suction device further includes an adjustment component 40 and a floating component 50. The adjustment component 40 is disposed at the top of the lifting drive component, and the top of the suction gun 30 is disposed within the adjustment component 40. The floating component 50 is disposed at the bottom of the lifting drive component, and the floating component 50 has an adjustment cavity, through which the bottom of the suction gun 30 passes. The adjustment component 40 and the adjustment cavity are used to adjust the verticality of the suction gun 30.

[0052] To improve the compatibility of the suction gun 30, an adjustment component 40 is provided between the top of the suction gun 30 and the slider 22 for adjusting the verticality of the suction gun 30.

[0053] Meanwhile, a floating component 50 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 10. The floating component 50 is fixed to the frame 10. When the suction gun 30 moves to the highest position, the bottom of the suction gun 30 corresponds to the floating component 50. When the suction gun 30 moves to the lowest position, the top of the suction gun 30 corresponds to the floating component 50.

[0054] On one hand, the adjusting component 40 and the floating component 50 are used to clamp the suction gun 30 to prevent it from shaking or shifting position during lifting and lowering. On the other hand, when the suction gun 30 is connected to the adjusting component 40 and the floating component 50 respectively, its position can be slightly adjusted on the adjusting component 40 and the floating component 50. That is, when the suction gun 30 is at its highest position, the top and bottom positions of the suction gun 30 can be adjusted by the adjusting component 40 and the floating component 50 respectively to ensure the verticality of the suction gun 30, so that it can accurately extend into the ton container during vertical movement.

[0055] Specifically, the floating component 50 has an adjustment cavity at its center, and the suction gun 30 passes through the adjustment cavity to adjust the position of the bottom of the suction gun 30 in the adjustment cavity, thereby ensuring that the bottom and top of the suction gun 30 are in the same vertical plane.

[0056] The technical solution of this utility model involves the lifting drive assembly driving the suction gun 30 to move up and down. When the suction gun 30 descends, it automatically inserts into the bottom ton container, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation into the ton container. Simultaneously, by cooperating with upstream and downstream equipment, the entire feeding process can be fully automated, eliminating manual assistance, reducing the physical labor intensity of employees, and improving the overall feeding efficiency of liquid materials.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The adjusting component 40 includes a fixed plate 41, a fixed ring 42, and a joint bearing 43. The fixed plate 41 is connected to the lifting drive component. The joint bearing 43 is disposed on the fixed ring 42, and the suction gun 30 is disposed inside the joint bearing 43. The fixed ring 42 is disposed on the joint bearing 43.

[0058] The suction gun 30 can be slightly rotated using the spherical bearing 43. Through the interaction between the spherical bearing 43 and the floating component 50, the top of the suction gun 30 rotates, while the bottom of the suction gun 30 adjusts its position via the floating component 50. For example, when the top of the suction gun 30 rotates to the right, the bottom correspondingly shifts to the right by a certain distance; it can be understood that adjustments can be made to the left, forward, or backward, thereby adjusting the verticality of the suction gun 30.

[0059] In addition, the adjustment device also includes a bearing pad 44, which is made of rubber and is placed on the bearing. By utilizing its flexibility, it effectively avoids friction between metals and improves the service life of the spherical bearing 43.

[0060] A retaining ring 42 is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the spherical bearing 43 to fix the spherical bearing 43 and improve the stability of the suction gun 30 during the lifting process.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The floating assembly 50 includes a first adjusting plate 51, a second adjusting plate 52, and an adjusting screw 53. The first adjusting plate 51 is disposed at the bottom of the frame 10 and has a mounting hole to form the adjusting cavity. The second adjusting plate 52 is disposed in the mounting hole and has a fixing hole 521 at its center. An adjusting gap 55 is formed between the edge of the second adjusting plate 52 and the side wall of the mounting hole. The suction gun 30 is disposed in the fixing hole 521. The adjusting screw 53 passes through the first adjusting plate 51 and is connected to the edge of the second adjusting plate 52. The adjusting screw 53 is used to adjust the size of the adjusting gap 55.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second adjusting plate 52 is rectangular, and correspondingly, the mounting hole is also rectangular. The size of the second adjusting plate 52 is slightly smaller than that of the mounting hole. Therefore, when the second adjusting plate 52 is placed in the mounting hole, an adjusting gap can be formed between the edge of the second adjusting plate 52 and the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0063] The second adjusting plate 52 has a fixing hole 521 at its center, and the size of the fixing hole 521 is the same as the size of the suction gun 30. Specifically, the suction gun 30 includes a material tube 31 and a gun head 32. The material tube 31 is mounted on the lifting drive assembly, and the top of the material tube 31 communicates with the hopper equipment. The gun head 32 is detachably connected to the bottom of the material tube 31. The material tube 31 passes through the fixing hole 521, and the diameter of the fixing hole 521 is the same as the outer diameter of the material tube 31. One end of the material tube 31 extends downward through the fixing hole 521 and connects to the gun head 32.

[0064] When the material pipe 31 is driven down by the lifting drive assembly, the nozzle 32 is used to extend into the ton container to perform the feeding operation.

[0065] As can be seen from the above, adjusting the gap between the second adjusting plate 52 and the mounting hole can control the position of the material tube 31.

[0066] Furthermore, the second adjustment plate is rectangular; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The second adjustment plate has adjustment gaps at the front, back, left, and right. By reducing the width of the adjustment gaps at the front, back, left, and right respectively, the material tube 31 can be controlled to move in the corresponding direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the width of the adjustment gap is adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 53. A threaded hole is provided on the edge of the first adjusting plate. The adjusting screw 53 is screwed into the threaded hole, with one end connected to the edge of the second adjusting plate 52, and the other end located on the side of the first adjusting plate 51 opposite to the second adjusting plate 52 and connected to a hand-tightening nut. The operator can control the rotation of the adjusting screw 53 by turning the hand-tightening nut, thereby controlling the movement of the internal second adjusting plate 52.

[0068] The first adjusting plate 51 can also be rectangular, with an adjusting screw 53 on each of its four sides. Each adjusting screw 53 is connected to one of the front, back, left, or right edges of the second adjusting plate 52.

[0069] In one embodiment, the floating component 50 further includes a buffer 54, one end of which is connected to the edge of the second adjusting plate 52, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0070] The buffer 54 can be made of spring, which can buffer the shock during the lifting and lowering of the material tube 31 to prevent the first adjusting plate 51 and the second adjusting plate 52 from colliding.

[0071] Each adjusting screw 53 has a buffer 54 on its left and right sides. The spacing between the two buffers 54 and the adjusting screw 53 is consistent to ensure that the force on the left and right sides of the second adjusting plate 52 is the same during the adjustment process.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The material suction device also includes a receiving hopper 60, one end of which is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the frame 10, and the other end extends to the bottom of the suction gun 30; wherein, in the natural state, the end of the receiving hopper 60 located at the bottom of the suction gun 30 is higher than the end located at the bottom of the frame 10.

[0073] It is understandable that, under normal circumstances, the liquid in the feed pipe 31 cannot be completely discharged from the feed pipe 31, and there is a possibility that some liquid may adhere to the side wall of the feed pipe 31. After the feed pipe 31 is finished feeding, the liquid adhering to the side wall of the feed pipe 31 may fall to other locations and cause contamination.

[0074] Therefore, in this embodiment, a receiving hopper 60 is provided at the bottom of the frame 10. The receiving hopper 60 is inclined. When the material pipe 31 is fully raised, the side of the receiving hopper 60 located at the bottom of the material pipe 31 is at a higher height, and the side of the receiving hopper 60 connected to the frame 10 is at a lower height. Thus, the falling liquid material falls into the receiving hopper 60 and is collected, avoiding pollution.

[0075] Furthermore, the side of the receiving hopper 60 connected to the frame 10 is rotated. When the material pipe 31 descends, it presses against the receiving hopper 60 and rotates downward until one side of the receiving hopper 60 rotates to the rear of the material pipe 31, ensuring that the material pipe 31 descends normally.

[0076] In this embodiment, when both the floating component 50 and the receiving hopper 60 are provided, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 The receiving hopper 60 can be directly installed on the first adjusting plate 51, with one end hinged to the edge of the first adjusting plate 51 and the other end extending to the bottom of the fixing hole 521. Thus, when the suction gun 30 descends, it abuts against the end of the receiving hopper 60 until the receiving hopper 60 rotates to the rear of the material tube 31.

[0077] It should be noted that a counterweight is provided on the side where the receiving hopper 60 is connected to the frame 10. When the material pipe 31 rises to the highest point, the receiving hopper 60 falls downward due to the weight of the counterweight, causing the other side to tilt upward to receive the material, thus preventing the liquid material from flowing out of the receiving hopper 60.

[0078] A baffle is also provided on the side where the receiving hopper 60 is connected to the frame 10 to prevent liquid material from flowing out of the receiving hopper 60.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The number of suction guns 30 is multiple, and the multiple suction guns 30 are respectively arranged around the lifting drive assembly. Each suction gun 30 is connected to a corresponding hopper device.

[0080] In this embodiment, four suction guns 30 are used as an example, and the four suction guns 30 are respectively arranged around the frame 10. Each suction gun 30 can be connected to a different hopper, enabling the simultaneous feeding of multiple liquid materials. Since this embodiment has four suction guns 30, it can simultaneously feed four different types of liquid materials.

[0081] It is understood that the number of suction guns 30 is not limited to the above scheme, and can also be set to, for example, three, five or even more, by evenly arranging multiple suction guns 30 around the frame 10.

[0082] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
