Embodiment

[0030] The following will be further described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figure 1 drawings.

[0031] The embodiment of the application discloses a storage bin, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising a bin body 1 for storing materials, a rack 2 for installing the bin body 1, a weighing assembly 3 for weighing the bin body 1, and a pushing mechanism 4 for pushing the materials accumulated on one side in the bin body 1 to the other side of the bin body 1.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 , the bin body 1 has an upper opening 13 for feeding materials.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 , the weighing assembly 3 comprises four weighing sensors 31, and the bin body 1 is suspendedly installed on the rack 2 through the four weighing sensors 31, and the weight of the bin body 1 is detected through the weighing sensors 31.

[0034] Referring to Figure 2 ,Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pushing mechanism 4 comprises a mounting frame 41, a pushing plate 43, a bracket 42 and a driving member 44. The mounting frame 41 is arranged on the rack 2. The bracket 42 is slidingly arranged on the mounting frame 41. The pushing plate 43 is arranged on the bracket 42. The driving member 44 is used to drive the bracket 42 to slide. A pushing opening 12 is arranged on the top of the side wall of the feeding side of the bin body 1. The driving member 44 drives the bracket 42 and the pushing plate 43 to slide through the pushing opening 12, so as to push the material on the feeding side of the bin body 1 to the other side of the bin body 1.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting frame 41 comprises two guide rails 411 fixedly arranged on the rack 2. The two guide rails 411 are parallel to each other. One end of each of the two guide rails 411 penetrates through the pushing opening 12 and is located in the bin body 1. Thus, when the bracket 42 slides into the bin body 1, the mounting frame 41 continues to support the bracket 42. The bracket 42 and the pushing plate 43 are more stable when being pushed, and are less likely to interfere with the feeding of the material.

[0036] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bracket 42 is in the shape of a horizontal plate. The two sides of the bracket 42 are slidingly arranged on the guide rails 411. A plurality of rollers 412 are rotatably arranged on the guide rails 411. The rollers 412 are arranged along the sliding direction of the guide rails 411. The bottom wall of the bracket 42 is arranged on the rollers 412. Thus, when the bracket 42 slides, the friction is rolling friction, the friction force is small, the wear of the bracket 42 is small, and the service life of the bracket 42 is improved.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pushing plate 43 is located below the bracket 42. The upper side of the pushing plate 43 is rotatably connected to the side of the bracket 42 facing the inside of the bin body 1. A plurality of supporting blocks 45 are fixedly arranged on the bottom wall of the bracket 42. When the pushing plate 43 is vertical, the supporting blocks 45 abut against the side of the pushing plate 43 away from the bin body 1.

[0038] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving member 44 comprises a pushing cylinder 441. The pushing cylinder 441 is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 41. The pushing cylinder 441 is used to drive the bracket 42 to reciprocatingly slide. When the driving cylinder 15 drives the bracket 42 and the pushing plate 43 to slide into the bin body 1, the pushing plate 43 pushes the material to the other side of the bin body 1. At this time, the supporting blocks 45 abut against the pushing plate 43 to support the pushing plate 43. When the driving cylinder 15 drives the bracket 42 to reset, the pushing plate 43 rotates upward under the pushing of the material. Thus, when the bracket 42 retreats, the pushing plate 43 will not pull the material back to the feeding side of the bin body 1.

[0039] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the side of the push plate 43 away from the support 42 is shovel-shaped, and the side of the push plate 43 away from the support 42 is curved towards the direction of the bin body 1, so that the plastic containers are not easy to slip off the push plate 43 when the push plate 43 pushes the plastic containers.

[0040] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , after the bin body 1 is filled with materials by the push plate 43, it is troublesome to take out the materials by the traditional method of opening a discharge port in the side wall of the bin body 1, so the bottom wall of the bin body 1 is designed to be conical, a lower discharge port 11 is opened at the lower end of the bottom wall of the bin body 1, and a plurality of baffles 14 are slidingly installed on the bottom wall of the bin body 1, the number of the baffles 14 is determined according to the size of the lower discharge port 11, and two baffles are used in this embodiment. The bottom wall of the bin body 1 is fixedly installed with two drive cylinders 15, the piston rods of the two drive cylinders 15 are fixedly connected with the two baffles 14 respectively, and the two baffles 14 are driven to slide by the two drive cylinders 15 respectively.

[0041] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when discharging, the lower discharge port 11 is directly opened, and the flow of the plastic containers flowing out of the bin body 1 is too large, which will cause the plastic containers to be stacked and jammed below the bin body 1, which is not conducive to the discharge of the plastic containers. Therefore, two baffles 14 are designed, and when discharging, one baffle 14 is first opened for discharging, the discharge flow of the lower discharge port 11 is limited, so that the discharged plastic containers are not easy to be stacked below the bin body 1 to cause jamming. When the weighing sensor 31 detects that the weight in the bin body 1 is reduced to a specified degree, or the weighing sensor 31 detects that the weight in the bin body 1 does not change within a period of time, the second baffle 14 is opened to increase the discharging speed or to make the plastic containers jammed at the lower discharge port 11 to be discharged from the lower discharge port 11.

[0042] The implementation principle of the storage bin in this embodiment is that the weight of the bin body 1 is detected by the weighing sensor 31, then the material accumulated on the feeding side of the bin body 1 is judged to reach a limited height according to the weight of the bin body 1, at this time the push cylinder 441 is started, the support 42 and the push plate 43 are pushed to slide by the push cylinder 441, and the material is pushed to the other side of the bin body 1 by the push plate 43.

[0043] The push plate 43 is supported by the support block 45 when pushing the material, and the rotation of the push plate 43 is stopped. When the piston rod of the push cylinder 441 is retracted and the push plate 43 is reset, the support of the push plate 43 by the support plate is invalid, and the push plate 43 will rotate to avoid interference with the material, so that the push plate 43 will not push the material back during the retraction process.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
