[0029] Referring to Figures 2-3 An eccentric type powder quantitative conveying device is shown, which comprises a first bin body 10, in this embodiment, the first bin body 10 is a vacuum raw material bin body, a plurality of raw material bin bodies are provided on the printer to store and convey clay materials, a second bin body 30 is provided below the first bin body 10, and a conveying assembly 20 is provided between the first bin body 10 and the second bin body 30.
[0030] The conveying assembly 20 is used for stirring and conveying the clay material, the conveying assembly 20 comprises a stirring bin 21 arranged below the first bin body 10, the stirring bin 21 is provided with an inlet 211 near the top of the stirring bin 21 and one end side wall along the width direction of the stirring bin 21, the inlet 211 is connected with the first bin body 10, the stirring bin 21 is provided with a fixed support 24 on both sides, the fixed support 24 is provided with a mounting groove 241, the function of the fixed support 24 is to be installed on the printer, the rotating bearing 25 is arranged in the mounting groove 241, the both ends of the spiral auger 23 are installed in the rotating bearing 25, the rotating bearing 25 at both ends can play a role in stable operation, one end of the spiral auger 23 near the inlet 211 is connected with the driving motor 22, in this embodiment, the driving motor 22 is connected with the speed reducer 26, the speed reducer 26 is connected with the spiral auger 23, which can better control the spiral auger 23, the spiral auger 23 is arranged on the side wall away from the inlet 211 along the width direction of the stirring bin 21, since there is no device in the first bin body 10 that can accurately control the amount of material, therefore, during the feeding and stirring process, the material is easy to accumulate at the inlet 211, not only easy to block, but also the load on the spiral auger 23 at the inlet 211 is large, which is easy to cause damage, therefore, the eccentric spiral auger 23 can increase the space when the material falls, prevent the material from accumulating, prevent blockage, and can reduce the load of the spiral auger 23, so that the equipment can run stably, the stirring bin 21 is provided with a discharge port 212 at the bottom away from the driving motor 22 along the length direction, the discharge port 212 is connected with the second bin body 30, the spiral auger 23 can quantitatively convey the clay material into the second bin body 30, and then enter the extruder for mixing and discharging.
[0031] The second bin body 30 is provided with a weighing assembly 40, the weighing assembly 40 comprises a mounting plate 41 fixed in the printer, the mounting plate 41 is provided with a weighing module 42, the second bin body 30 is provided with a pressing block 43 on the side wall, the pressing block 43 abuts against the weighing module 42, so that the weight of the material in the second bin body 30 can be known, the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0032] Referring to Figures 4-5In another embodiment, the screw conveyor 23 comprises a first screw conveyor 231 arranged in the stirring bin 21 near the inlet 211, and a second screw conveyor 232 arranged in the stirring bin 21 near the outlet 212, the first screw conveyor 231 and the second screw conveyor 232 rotate coaxially, the pitch of the first screw conveyor 231 is greater than that of the second screw conveyor 232, and the blade diameter of the first screw conveyor 231 is greater than that of the second screw conveyor 232. The pitch and the blade diameter of the first screw conveyor 231 are greater than those of the second screw conveyor 232, so that the first screw conveyor 231 can achieve better stirring effect. The second screw conveyor 232 needs to control the weight of the material flowing to the extruding mechanism more accurately, so the pitch and the blade diameter of the second screw conveyor 232 are smaller than those of the first screw conveyor 231.
[0033] Referring to Figure 6 In another embodiment, the stirring bin 21 and the screw conveyor 23 are arranged obliquely, and the included angle a between the screw conveyor 23 and the horizontal plane is 0-15°. In this embodiment, the oblique angle a of the stirring bin 21 and the screw conveyor 23 is 15°. The oblique screw conveyor 23 can improve the flowability of the material, so that the material is more smooth in the conveying process, and the blocking and accumulation phenomenon is reduced, thereby improving the stirring efficiency. However, the size of the oblique angle has certain influence on the filling coefficient. The greater the oblique angle, the smaller the allowed filling coefficient, and the lower the conveying capacity of the screw conveyor 23. Therefore, the oblique angle should not be too large. When the filling coefficient is small, the material accumulation height is low, and most of the material is close to the outer side of the screw, so that the material has a high axial speed. The movement of the material in the conveying direction is significantly more than that in the circumferential direction, and the slip surface of the movement is almost parallel to the conveying direction. At this time, the additional material flow perpendicular to the conveying direction is weakened, and the energy consumption is reduced. Therefore, the oblique angle of 15° in this embodiment has the best stirring and conveying effect, and can reduce the energy consumption and prevent the reduction of the conveying capacity of the screw conveyor 23.
[0034] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
