[0037] This utility model provides a hopper replacement structure, such as Figure 1-4 As shown in Figures 6-10, the device includes a fixed plate 101, a nozzle magazine bracket 301, and a locking support plate 207. A support column 103 is mounted on the bottom of the fixed plate 101. The nozzle magazine bracket 301 is located on the fixed plate 101 and has mounting holes 311 for installing nozzles. A positioning block 102 that mates with the nozzle magazine bracket 301 is mounted on the fixed plate 101. A guide block 302 is mounted on the bottom of the nozzle magazine bracket 301 corresponding to the positioning block 102. One side of the positioning block 102 faces the guide block 302. A first protrusion 107 is provided on the side, and a positioning groove 108 is provided on the first protrusion 107. A second protrusion 312 is provided on the side of the guide block 302 facing the positioning block 102 and located below the first protrusion 107. A positioning pin 304 is provided on the guide block 302 corresponding to the positioning groove 108. When the nozzle magazine bracket 301 is in the installation state, the positioning pin 304 is located in the positioning groove 108, and the second protrusion 312 is located below the first protrusion 107, thereby realizing the horizontal and vertical limiting of the nozzle magazine bracket 301.

[0038] like Figure 1-5As shown in Figures 15-18, a locking support plate 207 is mounted on the fixed plate 101 on the side opposite to the positioning block 102. Two mounting blocks 208 are provided on the locking support plate 207, and a locking shaft 204 is installed between the two mounting blocks 208. A locking block 203 that cooperates with the nozzle holder 301 is fixedly mounted on the locking shaft 204. A torsion spring 202 is fitted on the locking shaft 204, with one end fixed to the locking support plate 207 and the other end fixed to the locking block 203. A handle 205 is installed at the end of the locking shaft 204, corresponding to the longitudinal surface 316 of the locking cover 307. The handle 205 has a bending structure 210. A locking block 303 is installed on the bottom side wall of the nozzle holder 301. A locking pin 310 corresponding to the locking block 203 is installed between adjacent locking blocks 303. The locking block 203 is provided with a locking groove 209 that cooperates with the locking pin 310. A fixing block 201 is installed on the locking support plate 207 corresponding to the locking block 303. A ball plunger 206 is installed on the fixing block 201. When the nozzle holder bracket 301 is in the installed state, the locking groove 209 engages with the locking pin 310. Under the action of the torsion spring 202, the locking block 203 cooperates with the positioning block 102 to lock and fix the nozzle holder bracket 301. When the nozzle holder bracket 301 needs to be disassembled, the handle 205 is turned by bending the bending structure 210 to separate the locking groove 209 from the locking pin 310. Then, the nozzle holder bracket 301 is pulled to separate the first protrusion 107 from the second protrusion 312 and the positioning groove 108 from the positioning pin 304, thereby realizing the disassembly of the nozzle holder bracket 301. The fixing block 201 and the ball plunger 206 prevent excessive movement of the nozzle holder bracket 301 during the disassembly process.

[0039] like Figure 1 , 6As shown in Figures 10-14, a locking cover 307 is mounted on the nozzle holder 301. The locking cover 307 has a bent two-sided structure. On the horizontal surface 315 of the locking cover 307, corresponding to the mounting hole 311, there is a first nozzle mounting hole 313 with a diameter larger than that of the mounting hole 311 and a second nozzle mounting hole 314 with a diameter smaller than that of the mounting hole 311. The first nozzle mounting hole 313 and the second nozzle mounting hole 314 are connected. On the longitudinal surface 316 of the locking cover 307, there is a... The transmission slot 317 has a cylinder fixing plate 104 installed on one side of the fixing plate 101 corresponding to the longitudinal surface 316. A cylinder 105 is installed on the cylinder fixing plate 104. The output end of the cylinder 105 is connected to the transmission block 106. The transmission block 106 is provided with a third protrusion 109 that cooperates with the transmission slot 317. A spring support 305 is installed on the nozzle magazine bracket 301. One end of the spring support 305 is connected to the tension spring 306. The other end of the tension spring 306 is connected to the locking cover 307. When the nozzle is in the installation state, the nozzle is installed in the mounting hole 311, which is located below the second nozzle mounting hole 314. When the nozzle needs to be replaced or removed, the cylinder 105 drives the locking cover 307 to move through the transmission block 106, so that the mounting hole 311 is located below the first nozzle mounting hole 313. After the nozzle is replaced or removed, the cylinder 105 stops outputting, and the locking cover 307 is reset under the action of the tension spring 306, so that the mounting hole 311 returns to below the second nozzle mounting hole 314.

[0040] like Figure 10 As shown, a guide pin 308 is installed on the nozzle holder bracket 301, and a guide strip hole 318 is provided on the locking cover 307 corresponding to the guide pin 308. A guide piece 309 is installed on the guide pin 308 and above the locking cover 307. The guide pin 308, the guide strip hole 318 and the guide piece 309 work together to guide and limit the movement of the locking cover 307.
