DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to solve the problems in the background art, the core inventive concept of the present application is that the metering device is used to simultaneously weigh the metering conveying belt, the mixing container and the additives, and the controller is used to sequentially control each infusion pipeline to add the additives with the set mass into the mixing container, so that manual labor is saved, and the mixing container can be conveyed by the metering conveying belt, so that the time for the mixed liquid to enter the next process is shortened.

[0020] The present application will be further described in detail in connection with the following embodiments.

[0021] The specific embodiments of the online automatic batching system provided by the present application are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, "online" refers to the fact that the online automatic batching system is located on a complete production line, and there are other subsequent production processes downstream of it.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in a basic implementation of the first type, the online automatic dispensing system includes a controller, at least two storage containers 1 for storing different additives (the specific number depends on the amount of additives and can be two, three, or more), and a metering and conveying assembly. The metering and conveying assembly includes a metering device for real-time feedback of the measured weight to the controller, a metering conveyor belt 8 for conveying the mixing container 9 with an open top, and a dispensing position sensor 34 for detecting whether the mixing container 9 is completely positioned on the metering conveyor belt 8. The metering device includes a base 5, a tray 7, and a weighing sensor 6 installed between the base 5 and the tray 7. The metering conveyor belt 8 is located on the tray 7, and each storage container... Each of the components is connected to an openable infusion line, and each infusion line has an outlet located above the tray 7 for conveying the additive into the mixing container 9 when the mixing container 9 is completely on the metering conveyor belt 8. The dispensing position sensor 34 sends a dispensing signal to the controller when the mixing container 9 is completely on the metering conveyor belt 8. The controller controls the conveyor belt to be stationary when it receives the dispensing signal and the weight measured by the metering device is less than the maximum set value. The controller also controls each infusion line to deliver the set mass of additive into the mixing container 9 according to the weight measured by the metering device. The controller also controls the metering conveyor belt 8 to convey the mixing container 9 downstream after the weight measured by the metering device is equal to the maximum set value for a set time (preferably 1 min, but can also be 0 min, 2 min or other values).

[0024] It should be noted that in this utility model, all position sensors (including upstream edge position sensor 31, upstream deceleration position sensor 32, first limit position sensor 33, dispensing position sensor 34, second limit position sensor 35, downstream edge position sensor 36, acceleration position sensor 37, downstream deceleration position sensor 38, and waiting position sensor 39) can be commonly used position sensors such as photoelectric sensors or vision sensors; the metering device can also be other existing commonly used metering devices such as electronic scales, as long as the metering device has a tray 7 for placing the metering conveyor belt 8; each container (including storage container 1 and mixing container 9) can be commonly used containers such as tanks or boxes; there are valves on the infusion pipeline, which can control the opening and closing of the infusion pipeline. Preferably, the infusion pipeline includes a pump 2 to draw the additive into the mixing container 9. Of course, the storage container 1 can also be set above the mixing container 9 to use gravity to allow the additive to enter the mixing container 9.

[0025] Since the metering conveyor belt 8 is located on the tray 7, the metering device can measure the total mass of the metering conveyor belt 8, the mixing container 9 and the additives at the same time. When the online automatic batching system in the utility model is used for batching, first, the batching position sensor 34 detects that the empty mixing container 9 is completely located on the metering conveyor belt 8, and the controller controls the metering conveyor belt 8 to be in a stationary state; then, the controller controls each liquid conveying pipeline to be opened in turn, and when any one liquid conveying pipeline is opened, the increase of the data measured by the metering device is the mass of the corresponding additive; after that, after all the additives are conveyed into the mixing container 9 in proportion, the mixing container 9 is allowed to stand for a set time length, so that the additives are completely mixed; finally, the metering conveyor belt 8 conveys the mixing container 9 to the downstream, so that the mixed liquid can be processed as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the subsequent production. At the same time, manual intervention is not required in the whole batching process, the labor intensity of the workers can be effectively reduced, and labor is saved.

[0026] In the whole production line, in order to simplify the structure, as the second type of specific embodiment, the upstream of the metering conveyor belt 8 has an upstream conveyor belt 4, and the downstream of the metering conveyor belt 8 has a downstream conveyor belt 10, the upstream conveyor belt 4 is provided with a placing area for placing the mixing container 9, and the downstream conveyor belt 10 is provided with a waiting area, the waiting area is provided with a waiting position sensor 39, the waiting position sensor 39 is used for sending a stop signal to the controller when the mixing container 9 is detected to be located in the waiting area, and the controller is used for controlling the downstream conveyor belt to be in a stationary state after receiving the stop signal, so that the mixed liquid can be conveniently taken from the waiting area subsequently, and the structure is simple. At the same time, there is no shelter above the upstream conveyor belt 4, the mixing container 9 can be conveniently placed on the upstream conveyor belt 4, and the mixing container 9 moves along the conveyor belt, so that the position of the mixing container 9 when the movement of the mixing container 9 is stopped can be controlled by the batching position sensor 34.

[0027] It should be noted that the waiting area constitutes the starting position of the next process; in one of the specific embodiments, a downstream edge position sensor 36 can be arranged on the side of the downstream conveyor belt 10 close to the metering conveyor belt 8, and the downstream edge position sensor 36 and the waiting position sensor 39 are used for limiting the movement range of the mixing container 9 on the downstream conveyor belt 10.

[0028] Preferably, the downstream conveyor belt 10 is provided with an emergency stop operating member (such as an emergency stop button or an emergency stop knob, etc.) for the worker to stop the downstream conveyor belt in an emergency, so that the worker can quickly stop the downstream conveyor belt 10 from running in an emergency. Of course, the emergency stop operating member can also not be arranged, in which case, an isolation warning line needs to be arranged at the downstream conveyor belt to avoid the worker from entering the area by mistake.

[0029] In order to better monitor the position of the mixing container 9, as a preferred second-type specific embodiment, the metering conveyor belt 8 is provided with a batching area, the batching position sensor 34 is corresponding to the batching area, and the metering conveyor belt 8 is also equipped with two limit position sensors, the two limit position sensors (i.e. the first limit position sensor 33 and the second limit position sensor 35) are located on the upstream side and the downstream side of the batching area, respectively.

[0030] When the mixing container 9 is located in the batching area, the two limit position sensors cannot detect the mixing container 9, but the batching position sensor 34 can detect the mixing container 9, thereby better keeping the mixing container 9 at a specific position on the metering conveyor belt 8.

[0031] In order to transfer the mixing container 9 more smoothly to the downstream conveyor belt 10, as a preferred embodiment of type 2-1-1, a limit position sensor (i.e., the second limit position sensor 35) located on the downstream side of the batching area is used to send a conveying signal to the controller after detecting the mixing container 9. After receiving the conveying signal, the controller controls the conveying speed of the metering conveyor belt 8 and the downstream conveyor belt 10 to be the same, so that the mixing container 9 is transferred more smoothly to the downstream conveyor belt 10.

[0032] In the specific implementation of type 2-1-2, the downstream conveyor belt 10 always runs at a specific speed, and when the metering conveyor belt 8 is running stably, the metering conveyor belt 8 and the downstream conveyor belt 10 have the same conveying speed.

[0033] In the second-second type of specific implementation, no limit position sensor is provided, and the mixing container 9 is detected by the ingredient position sensor 34 alone.

[0034] In the third type of specific implementation, the online automatic batching system does not include the upstream conveyor belt 4. In this case, since the liquid outlet is located above the tray 7, the mixing container 9 must be placed on the metering conveyor belt 8 from the side, and the mixing container 9 must be placed precisely at a specific position.

[0035] In the fourth type of specific embodiment, the metering conveyor belt 8 can be lengthened. In this case, the length of the metering conveyor belt 8 is equal to the total length of the metering conveyor belt 8 and the upstream conveyor belt 4 in the second type of specific embodiment. It is necessary to select a metering device that can measure larger mass objects.

[0036] On the basis of the second type of embodiment, in order to make the mixed container 9 more smoothly transferred to the metering conveying belt 8, as a more preferred fifth type of embodiment, the upstream conveying belt 4 is provided with an upstream deceleration position sensor 32 on the side close to the metering conveying belt 8, the upstream deceleration position sensor 32 is used to send an upstream deceleration signal to the controller after detecting the mixed container 9, and the controller is used to control the upstream conveying belt 4 to decelerate after receiving the upstream deceleration signal, and make the conveying speed of the metering conveying belt 8 the same as that of the upstream conveying belt 4, so that the mixed container 9 is more smoothly transferred to the metering conveying belt 8.

[0037] Preferably, the upstream conveying belt 4 is also provided with an upstream edge position sensor 31 on the side away from the metering conveying belt 8, and the upstream edge position sensor 31 and the upstream deceleration position sensor 32 are used to limit the movement range of the mixed container 9 on the upstream conveying belt 4.

[0038] In the sixth type of embodiment, the upstream conveying belt 4 always runs at a certain speed, and when the metering conveying belt 8 runs stably, the conveying speed of the metering conveying belt 8 is the same as that of the upstream conveying belt 4.

[0039] On the basis of the second type of embodiment, in order to make the mixed liquid reach the starting position of the next process more quickly, as a more preferred seventh type of embodiment, the downstream conveying belt 10 is provided with an acceleration position sensor 37 on the end close to the metering conveying belt 8, the acceleration position sensor 37 is used to send an acceleration signal to the controller after detecting the mixed container 9, and the controller is used to control the downstream conveying belt 10 to accelerate after receiving the acceleration signal, so as to shorten the time length of the mixed container 9 reaching the waiting area, and make the mixed liquid reach the starting position of the next process more quickly, which is beneficial to subsequent production.

[0040] In order to make the mixed liquid more stably stay in the waiting area, as a more preferred seventh-1 type of embodiment, the acceleration position sensor 37 and the waiting area are provided with a downstream deceleration position sensor 38, the downstream deceleration position sensor 38 is used to send a downstream deceleration signal to the controller after detecting the mixed container 9, and the controller is used to control the downstream conveying belt 10 to decelerate after receiving the downstream deceleration signal, so as to make the mixed liquid more stably stay in the waiting area.

[0041] In the seventh-2 type of embodiment, the downstream deceleration position sensor 38 is not included, and the downstream conveying belt 10 stops running immediately after the waiting position sensor 39 detects the mixed container 9, at this time, the maximum conveying speed of the downstream conveying belt 10 should not be too large, and there should be a large enough friction force between the downstream conveying belt 10 and the mixed container 9.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific embodiments are only classified according to the specific structure, and the specific structure is not included in other categories. For example, the structure of the first specific embodiment can be the same as that of the second or third specific embodiment.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified without creative labor, or some technical features can be replaced, or different specific embodiments can be combined organically, so as to combine the appended Figure 1 The specific embodiments given in the specification, of course, those skilled in the art can also combine the specific embodiments not given in the specification. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
