[0029] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0030] See Figures 1-3This utility model provides an automated batching system for stone materials, comprising a storage silo 1, a feed hopper 2, a batching hopper 3, a feeding conveying assembly, a batching conveying assembly, a total material conveying assembly, and a batching control assembly. The storage silo 1 has at least two storage chambers 4. The feed hopper 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage chamber 4, and the upper end of the feed hopper 2 is not higher than the bottom of the storage chamber 4. Each storage chamber 4 has an independently installed feeding conveying assembly on its lower side. The input end of the feeding conveying assembly is located directly below the feed hopper 2 and cooperates with the feed hopper 2. The output end is set on and cooperates with the batching hopper 3. The batching control component is fixedly set directly below the batching hopper 3 and cooperates with the batching hopper 3. The batching conveying component is fixedly set directly below the batching hopper 3 and cooperates with the batching control component. The input end of the total material conveying component is set directly below the output end of the batching conveying component and cooperates with the batching conveying component. The output end of the total material conveying component is set on and cooperates with the mixer 5. The feeding conveying component, the batching conveying component, the total material conveying component, the batching control component, and the mixer 5 are all electrically connected to the control center.

[0031] The control center is an existing technology. Under the control center, the raw material conveying component, batching conveying component, total material conveying component, and batching control component work together to achieve automated production. The storage silo 1 is equipped with multiple storage chambers 4, each containing different raw materials. For example, one storage chamber 4 may contain cement, another sand, and another small stones. The bottom of each storage chamber 4 is installed flush with or below the ground. Raw materials delivered by truck can be directly poured into the storage chamber 4. A feeding conveying component is installed on the lower side of each storage chamber 4, with one end below ground level. Raw materials in the storage chamber 4 enter the feeding conveying component through the feeding hopper 2. An electric control switch is installed at the lower end of the feeding hopper 2, which is electrically connected to and controlled by the control center. The electric control switch controls the feeding hopper 2 to discharge materials. The function of the feeding conveyor assembly is to transport the raw materials from the feeding hopper 2 to the batching hopper 3. The batching control assembly controls the output of raw materials from the batching hopper 3. The raw materials output by the batching control assembly enter the batching conveyor assembly, which then transports the raw materials to the total material conveyor assembly. The total material conveyor assembly transports the raw materials to the mixer 5 in the prior art for mixing. The feeding hopper 2 is fixed to the storage silo 1, and the batching hopper 3 is fixed to the ground by a bracket. The batching control assembly is fixed to the bracket under the feeding hopper 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, the feeding conveying assembly, the batching conveying assembly, and the total material conveying assembly all include a conveying motor 6, a conveying support 7, a conveyor belt 8, a driving conveyor pulley 9, a driven conveyor pulley 10, and an upper bracket component. The driving conveyor pulley 9 and the driven conveyor pulley 10 are respectively rotatably mounted on both ends of the conveying support 7, and the driving conveyor pulley 9 and the driven conveyor pulley 10 are arranged parallel to each other. The two sides of the conveyor belt 8 are respectively mounted on the driving conveyor pulley 9 and the driven conveyor pulley 10. The conveying motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the conveying support 7 and is used to drive the driving conveyor pulley 9 to rotate. The conveying motor 6 is electrically connected to the control center. The upper bracket component is fixedly mounted on the conveying support 7 and is used to support the conveyor belt 8. The conveyor support 7 is fixed to the ground by support legs. The existing conveyor motor 6 is fixed to the conveyor support 7 and drives the active conveyor pulley 9 to rotate. The active conveyor pulley 9 and the driven conveyor pulley 10 cooperate to drive the conveyor belt 8 to convey. Since the distance between the active conveyor pulley 9 and the driven conveyor pulley 10 is relatively long, in order to prevent the conveyor belt 8 from being pressed by the raw materials and breaking, an upper bracket component is set to support the conveyor belt 8.

[0033] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the feeding conveyor assembly, the batching conveyor assembly, and the total material conveyor assembly may adopt other structures.

[0034] In some embodiments, the upper support component includes an upper support 11, a central roller 12, and side rollers 13. The upper support 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the conveyor support 7. The central roller 12 is rotatably mounted on the middle of the upper support 11 and engages with the middle of the upper side of the conveyor belt 8. Side rollers 13 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the central roller 12, and the two side rollers 13 engage with the two sides of the upper side of the conveyor belt 8, respectively. The central roller 12 is arranged parallel to the drive conveyor belt pulley 9. The upper support 11 is fixed on the conveyor support 7 to mount the central roller 12 and the side rollers 13. The central roller 12 is used to bear the weight of the raw materials, and the side rollers 13 prevent the raw materials from falling off the conveyor belt 8.

[0035] In some embodiments, the upper support component further includes a lower support 14 and a lower support roller 15. The lower support 14 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the conveyor support 7, and the lower support roller 15 is rotatably mounted on the lower support 14 and is used to support the lower side of the conveyor belt 8. The lower support roller 15 is arranged parallel to the drive conveyor belt pulley 9. The lower support 14 is used to mount the lower support roller 15, and the lower support roller 15 is used to support the lower side of the conveyor belt 8, preventing the lower side of the conveyor belt 8 from rubbing against the ground and causing damage to the conveyor belt 8.

[0036] In some embodiments, the batching control assembly includes a batching rack 16, a batching belt 17, a batching motor 18, an active batching pulley 19, and a driven batching pulley 20. The batching rack 16 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the batching hopper 3. The active batching pulley 19 and the driven batching pulley 20 are rotatably mounted on the batching rack 16, and are arranged parallel to each other. The two sides of the batching belt 17 are respectively mounted on the active batching pulley 19 and the driven batching pulley 20, and the batching belt 17 engages with the lower opening of the batching hopper 3. The batching motor 18 is fixedly mounted on the batching rack 16 and is used to drive the active batching pulley 19 to rotate. The batching motor 18 is electrically connected to the control center. The batching rack 16 is fixed on the support under the feed hopper 2. The batching rack 16 is used to install the batching motor 18, the active batching pulley 19, and the driven batching pulley 20. In the prior art, the batching motor 18 drives the active batching pulley 19 to rotate. The active batching pulley 19 and the driven batching pulley 20 cooperate to drive the batching belt 17 to rotate. The batching belt 17 drives the raw materials falling in the batching hopper 3 to move. The batching belt 17 is in clearance fit with the opening on the lower side of the batching hopper 3. A switch is set on the lower side of the batching hopper 3. The raw materials in the batching hopper 3 directly act on the batching belt 17. By controlling the distance between the batching belt 17 and the opening on the lower side of the batching hopper 3, the raw materials in the batching hopper 3 will not fall off the batching belt 17. By controlling the speed of the batching motor 18, the batching belt 17 can transport the raw materials in the batching hopper 3 quickly or slowly, thereby achieving continuous and proportional batching.

[0037] In some embodiments, the conveying direction of the batching belt 17 is parallel to the conveying direction of the batching conveying assembly. Since the width of the conveyor belt 8 is fixed, and the raw materials exiting the batching belt 17 have a certain speed, they are easily thrown to the outside of the conveyor belt 8. Therefore, it is best if the conveying direction of the batching belt 17 is parallel to the conveying direction of the batching conveying assembly.

[0038] In some embodiments, the batching hopper 3 is provided with a feeding notch 21 that mates with the output end of the feeding conveying assembly. The feeding notch 21 facilitates the installation of the output end of the feeding conveying assembly, allowing for a better fit between the output end of the feeding conveying assembly and the upper end of the batching hopper 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least two feed hoppers 2 are provided on the bottom of the storage chamber 4, and all feed hoppers 2 on the same storage chamber 4 cooperate with the same feeding and conveying assembly. Providing multiple feed hoppers 2 facilitates material unloading from the storage chamber 4 and reduces unloading costs.
