[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model discloses a double-layer powder feeder, including: a support part, on which two feeding components are provided, and an upper conveyor belt 10 and a lower conveyor belt 9 are provided inside the support part. The top surfaces of the upper conveyor belt 10 and the lower conveyor belt 9 are both horizontally arranged. The upper conveyor belt 10 and the lower conveyor belt 9 are arranged vertically and vertically, and the length of the upper conveyor belt 10 is less than the length of the lower conveyor belt 9. The upper conveyor belt 10 and the lower conveyor belt 9 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two feeding components. The upper conveyor belt 10 is driven by a first driving mechanism, and the lower conveyor belt 9 is driven by a second driving mechanism. The discharge end of the lower conveyor belt 9 is provided with a guide trough 13. A collection box 1 is provided below the guide trough 13. A welding wire tube 14 passes between the guide trough 13 and the collection box 1. The top opening of the welding wire tube 14 is arranged corresponding to the bottom opening of the guide trough 13.

[0029] Both ends of the lower conveyor belt 9 extend beyond the upper conveyor belt 10.

[0030] In this invention, powders of different particle sizes / densities fall onto the lower conveyor belt 9 and the upper conveyor belt 10 respectively, with the powders of larger particle sizes / densities located on the upper conveyor belt 10. The first driving mechanism drives the upper conveyor belt 10 to move, causing the powders of larger particle sizes / densities to fall onto the lower conveyor belt 9 and mix with the powders of smaller particle sizes / densities. As the lower conveyor belt 9 moves, the powders enter the guide trough 13 and, under the action of the guide trough 13, enter the welding wire tube 14.

[0031] In this invention, powders of different particle sizes / densities fall onto the lower conveyor belt 9 and the upper conveyor belt 10 respectively, and after being mixed on the lower conveyor belt 9, they enter the guide trough 13 and then enter the welding wire tube 14. This effectively avoids the problem of powder stratification during the transfer and feeding process after mixing, which affects the powder ratio, and the problem of powder stratification caused by adding powders of different particle sizes / densities to the welding wire tube 14 in sequence, which affects the quality of the cored wire and flux-cored welding wire.

[0032] In a further optimized design, a front fixed bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the base, and a first rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the front fixed bracket 8. A second sliding bracket 19 is provided on the base, and a fourth rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected inside the second sliding bracket 19. The axes of the fourth rotating shaft 24 and the first rotating shaft 11 are both horizontal and parallel. The upper conveyor belt 10 is sleeved on the fourth rotating shaft 24 and the first rotating shaft 11. An auxiliary shaft 25 is rotatably connected inside the front fixed bracket 8, and the auxiliary shaft 25 makes rolling contact with the top surface of the upper conveyor belt 10.

[0033] The auxiliary shaft 25 is set so that the upper conveyor belt 10 remains horizontal during conveying.

[0034] The guide chute 13 is fixedly connected to the front fixed bracket 8. The guide chute 13 is V-shaped and has an opening at the bottom. The top opening of the guide chute 13 corresponds to the discharge end of the lower conveyor belt 9.

[0035] In a further optimized scheme, the first drive mechanism includes a second motor 23, which is fixedly connected to the second sliding bracket 19. The output shaft of the second motor 23 is connected to the input shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26. The output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26 extends into the second sliding bracket 19 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the fourth rotating shaft 24.

[0036] The second drive mechanism has the same structure as the first drive mechanism.

[0037] The second drive mechanism includes a first motor 5 fixedly mounted on the first sliding bracket 17. The output shaft of the first motor 5 is connected to the input shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26. The output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26 extends into the first sliding bracket 17 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 18.

[0038] The planetary gear mechanism 26 is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0039] The rotation of the second motor 23 drives the input shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26 to rotate, and the output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism 26 drives the fourth rotating shaft 24 to rotate, thereby driving the upper conveyor belt 10 to move.

[0040] In a further optimized design, a second rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected inside the front fixed bracket 8, a first sliding bracket 17 is provided on the base, and a third rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected inside the first sliding bracket 17. The axes of the third rotating shaft 18 and the second rotating shaft 12 are both horizontal and parallel, and the lower conveyor belt 9 is fitted onto the third rotating shaft 18 and the second rotating shaft 12.

[0041] The scheme is further optimized. A slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the base. The slide rail 15 is set along the length of the lower conveyor belt 9. A first slider 16 and a second slider 20 are slidably connected to the slide rail 15. A first sliding bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the first slider 16, and a second sliding bracket 19 is fixedly connected to the second slider 20.

[0042] One end of the slide rail 15 is threadedly connected to a first adjusting bolt 21 via a connecting plate. The first adjusting bolt 21 is set along the length of the slide rail 15 and abuts against the second sliding bracket 19.

[0043] By rotating the first adjusting bolt 21, the second sliding bracket 19 is moved away from the first rotating shaft 11, increasing the distance between the first rotating shaft 11 and the fourth rotating shaft 24, thereby adjusting the tension of the upper conveyor belt 10.

[0044] The other end of the slide rail 15 is rotatably connected to a second adjusting bolt 22 via a connecting plate. The second adjusting bolt 22 is set along the length of the slide rail 15 and is threadedly connected to the first sliding bracket 17.

[0045] By rotating the second adjusting bolt 22, the first sliding bracket 17 is moved away from the second rotating shaft 12, increasing the distance between the second rotating shaft 12 and the third rotating shaft 18, thereby adjusting the tension of the lower conveyor belt 9.

[0046] The design is further optimized so that the support part includes two side support plates 2 fixed to the base. The two side support plates 2 are located on opposite sides of the front fixed bracket 8. A top plate 3 is fixed between the top ends of the two side support plates 2. The material feeding assembly is fixedly installed on the top plate 3.

[0047] The scheme is further optimized. The feeding component includes a storage hopper 7 fixed to the top surface of the top plate 3 and a feeding hopper 6 fixed to the bottom surface of the top plate 3. The storage hopper 7 and the feeding hopper 6 are connected. The two feeding hoppers 6 are set along the length of the lower conveyor belt 9. The two feeding hoppers 6 are respectively set vertically to correspond to the lower conveyor belt 9 and the upper conveyor belt 10. The discharge end of the feeding hopper 6 is equipped with a discharge control component.

[0048] One of the feeding hoppers 6 is located above the lower conveyor belt 9 and close to the third rotating shaft 18, while the other feeding hopper 6 is located above the upper conveyor belt 10 and between the auxiliary shaft 25 and the first rotating shaft 11.

[0049] A guardrail 4 is also fixed to the top surface of the top plate 3 to protect the storage hopper 7. The discharge control component is used to control the discharge speed of the feeding hopper 6. The discharge control component adopts existing technology, and the specific solution can be selected by those skilled in the art according to their needs.

[0050] Workflow:

[0051] Different particle sizes / densities of medicine powder enter the feeding hopper 6 through the storage hopper 7, and then fall onto the lower conveyor belt 9 and the upper conveyor belt 10 respectively through the discharge control component. The medicine powder with larger particle size / density is located on the upper conveyor belt 10. The second motor 23 drives the fourth rotating shaft 24 to rotate through the planetary gear mechanism 26, which in turn drives the upper conveyor belt 10 to move. The discharge control component is located between the auxiliary shaft 25 and the first rotating shaft 11 to prevent the auxiliary shaft 25 from contacting the medicine powder. The medicine powder on the upper conveyor belt 10 falls onto the lower conveyor belt 9.

[0052] The first motor 5 drives the third rotating shaft 18 to rotate through the planetary gear mechanism 26. The third rotating shaft 18 drives the lower conveyor belt 9 to move and feeds the two kinds of powder into the guide trough 13, and then into the welding wire tube 14. The collection box 1 is used to collect the powder that does not fall into the welding wire tube 14.
