[0045] The present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related content, and not to limit the present disclosure. In addition, it should be noted that, for the sake of description, only parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the drawings.
[0046] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0047] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / examples shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that can implement the technical ideas of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of various embodiments / examples can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical ideas of the present disclosure.
[0048] In the drawings, cross-hatching and / or shading are generally used to indicate that a portion of one component is positioned above another component. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence of cross-hatching or shading is not a requirement of the claimed disclosure. In addition, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the sizes of the components shown in the figures can be exaggerated relative to other components. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, a specific process sequence can be performed in a different order from that described. For example, two consecutively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to that described. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same components.
[0049] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, the component can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or there can be an intermediate component. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on", "directly connected to", or "directly coupled to" another component, there is no intermediate component.

[0050] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.
[0051] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting.

Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a silo according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a silo according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hopper of this disclosure can be used as a storage device for sheet materials and facilitates the feeding of such sheet materials. More specifically, the sheet material can be a film material, which is stacked in a stacked manner.
[0054] Specifically, the hopper disclosed herein may include components such as a fixed plate 100, a rotating base plate 200, a lifting device 300, and a separating device 400.
[0055] When in use, the hopper disclosed herein can have its fixing plate 100 fixed to the ground or other platform using components such as support legs.
[0056] The rotating base plate 200 is rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 100. In one specific embodiment, the rotating base plate 200 can be rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 100 by means of a thrust bearing or the like, and the rotating base plate 200 is located above the fixed plate 100.
[0057] Moreover, the rotating base plate 200 of the present disclosure can be driven and rotated by the rotating driving device 500. In one specific embodiment, the rotating driving device 500 can be an electric motor, which can drive the rotating base plate 200 to rotate through a gear transmission structure. Since the structure for driving the rotating base plate 200 to rotate can be implemented by using the prior art, the present disclosure will not be described in detail with respect to the structure.
[0058] The rotating base plate 200 comprises a first feeding position and a second feeding position. Specifically, the rotating base plate 200 of the present disclosure comprises a length direction, and the first feeding position and the second feeding position are arranged along the length direction of the rotating base plate 200. More preferably, the first feeding position and the second feeding position each comprise a length direction and a width direction, the length direction of the first feeding position and the second feeding position is the same as the length direction of the rotating base plate 200, and the width direction of the first feeding position and the second feeding position is the same as the width direction of the rotating base plate 200.
[0059] The rotating base plate 200 corresponding to the first feeding position is provided with a first through hole, and the rotating base plate 200 corresponding to the second feeding position is provided with a second through hole. Among them, the first feeding position and the second feeding position are both used for storing materials, and the shapes of the first through hole and the second through hole can be set as I-shaped, so that the materials will not fall from the first through hole or the second through hole.
[0060] When the hopper of the present disclosure is in use, the materials at the first feeding position and the materials at the second feeding position can be alternately fed. For example, when the first feeding position is directly above the lifting device 300, the materials at the first feeding position will be fed, at this time, if there is no material at the second feeding position, the materials can be added to the second feeding position. When all the materials at the first feeding position are taken away, the rotating base plate 200 can be rotated, and the second feeding position is rotated to the upper side of the lifting device 300, so that the materials at the second feeding position are fed. Thus, the hopper of the present disclosure can continuously provide materials, and the feeding efficiency is improved.
[0061] The lifting device 300 of the present disclosure is arranged on the fixed plate 100, wherein at least part of the lifting device 300 can pass through the first through hole or the second through hole and extend above the rotating bottom plate 200, so that the lifting device 300 of the present disclosure can lift the material at the first feeding position or the second feeding position to a preset position to facilitate feeding. Specifically, when the first feeding position is directly above the lifting device 300, the lifting device 300 can lift the material at the first feeding position, and when the second feeding position is directly above the lifting device 300, the lifting device 300 can lift the material at the second feeding position.

[0064] The lifting plate 320 is arranged on the lifting driving device 310, and the lifting driving device 310 is used to drive the lifting plate 320 to lift, wherein the lifting plate 320 can pass through the first through hole or the second through hole and extend above the rotating bottom plate 200.
[0065] That is, when the lifting driving device 310 works, it can generate lifting action and drive the lifting plate 320 to lift.
[0066] The guide structure 330 is used to guide the lifting movement of the lifting plate 320. In a specific embodiment, the guide structure 330 can include a plurality of guide rods, which are slidably arranged on the fixed plate 100. For example, the fixed plate 100 can be provided with a mounting hole, and a linear bearing can be arranged in the mounting hole. The guide rod can be slidably arranged in the linear bearing, and the upper end of the guide rod can be fixed to the lifting plate 320, so that the guide structure 330 can guide the movement of the lifting plate 320.
[0067] Referring again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the separating device 400 of the present disclosure is arranged on the rotating bottom plate 200, and the separating device 400 is used to separate at least the material stored in the first feeding position or the second feeding position, so that the material of the present disclosure can be fed one by one without the situation of feeding multiple films at one time.
[0068] The separation device 400 of the present disclosure can include a plurality of separation components; and since the rotating base plate 200 includes a first feeding position and a second feeding position, correspondingly, the separation components of the separation device 400 can be divided into a first separation component group and a second separation component group, wherein the separation components of the first separation component group are used to define the first feeding position; the separation components of the second separation component group are used to define the second feeding position.

[0073] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the separation component of the present disclosure can include a guide block 410, one surface of the guide block 410 is provided with a blowing port 420, wherein the blowing port 420 is directed to the material stored in the first feeding position or the second feeding position. That is, when the material is fed, high-pressure gas can be provided to the blowing port 420, so that the high-pressure gas can be blown to the stacked material through the blowing port 420, so that the stacked material can be effectively separated.
[0074] In the present disclosure, the blowing ports 420 on the guide block 410 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, preferably, the multiple blowing ports 420 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns; and the blowing ports 420 are formed in the upper half of the guide block 410. In other words, the blowing ports 420 are formed close to the upper end of the guide block 410, so that the high-pressure gas provided by the blowing ports 420 can separate the materials that are about to be fed, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the high-pressure gas.
[0075] More preferably, the separating assembly further comprises a brush 430, the brush 430 is fixed to the guide block 410, and the brush 430 is arranged close to the upper end of the guide block 410. In use of the present disclosure, the bristles of the brush 430 can be in interference contact with the materials, so that the brush 430 can provide a downward force to the materials during the upward movement of the materials, thereby effectively separating the two adhered materials.
