Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crucible filling equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic crucible filling device. Background Technology
[0002] A crucible filling device is a specialized apparatus used to fill a crucible with materials such as powders or granules. It is widely used in many fields, including materials processing, metallurgy, and chemicals. For example, in the metallurgical industry, it is used to fill crucibles with metal ores, alloy powders, etc., to provide raw materials for the smelting process; in ceramic production, it is used to fill crucibles with ceramic powder in preparation for firing ceramic products.
[0003] Some crucible filling equipment also has a compaction function, which makes the material tightly packed in the crucible and improves the stability of the material in subsequent processing. This compaction function is generally completed by a lower pressure plate that matches the crucible. Therefore, one lower pressure plate can only be matched with one type of crucible. Other types of crucibles require the equipment to be replaced with a lower pressure plate or equipment of different specifications, which reduces the applicability of the equipment. In order to solve the above problems, we have proposed this automatic crucible filling equipment. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic crucible filling device, comprising: two first mounting brackets 1 and two slide rails 3, with a sliding plate slidably connected in both slide rails 3, a screw in one of the slide rails 3, and a drive motor and a reducer on the side wall of the slide rail 3.
[0023] The sliding plate is equipped with a storage bin 4 and an installation frame 7. The storage bin 4 is connected to the auger conveying pipe 8 through a pipe. The storage bin 4 is equipped with a first compressor 5. The installation frame 7 is equipped with a threaded rod 17, a second motor 18 (whose output shaft can rotate in both directions, and the control mode is one of the following: pulse control mode, analog control mode, or communication control mode), and a lifting plate 19. The lifting plate 19 is equipped with a vacuum pump 10 and the auger conveying pipe 8. The lower end of the auger conveying pipe 8 passes through the lower end of the installation plate 11.
[0024] The vacuum pump 10 has an exhaust pipe that runs through the lower end of the mounting plate 11. A pressure gauge and a valve are installed on the exhaust pipe. The mounting plate 11 is equipped with a level gauge, which is shown in the diagram. The conveying pipe 8 is equipped with a first motor 9 and the mounting plate 11. The side wall of the mounting plate 11 is equipped with an annular airbag 2.
[0025] The upper end of the lifting plate 19 is provided with a driving mechanism for inflating the annular airbag 2. The driving mechanism includes a first water pump 14 and a second water pump 15 installed on the lifting plate 19. The annular airbag 2 is provided with two mounting pipes 12, and a connecting pipe 13 is provided on the mounting pipe 12. The connecting pipe 13 is provided with a valve and a pressure gauge.
[0026] One of the first mounting frames 1 has a storage mechanism for storing materials on its side wall. The storage mechanism includes a storage box 20 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first mounting frame 1. A second compressor 21 is provided on the storage box 20. The storage box 20 is connected to the storage silo 4 through a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is a flexible hose, which allows the storage box 20 to be connected to the storage silo 4 when the storage silo 4 is moved.
[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, a second mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 20. The second mounting bracket 6 is connected to the first mounting bracket 1 through two connectors, so that the storage box 20 has more support points and improves the stability of the storage box 20.
[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the annular airbag 2 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 11. The annular airbag 2 includes a mounting ring on the side wall of the mounting plate 11 and the airbag body, which facilitates the replacement of damaged annular airbag 2. The mounting tube 12 is connected to the connecting tube 13 through a flange.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the upper end of the lifting plate 19 is provided with a liquid storage box 16. The liquid storage box 16 is connected to the first water pump 14 and the second water pump 15 through two flow pipes, so that the liquid entering and flowing out of the annular airbag 2 can be reused.
[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the inner walls of the two first mounting brackets 1 are fixedly connected to the mounting housing 22. The mounting housing 22 is equipped with a conveyor belt 23, which can automatically transport the crucible to the storage bin 4 to meet different filling requirements.
[0031] It should be noted that this utility model is an automatic crucible filling device. The user places the crucible on the conveyor belt 23, starts the second motor 18, the threaded rod 17 rotates, the lifting plate 19 moves downward, so that the mounting plate 11 extends into the crucible, starts the first water pump 14 (if there is no liquid storage box 16, the first water pump 14 is connected to the external water system), the first water pump 14 pumps water into the annular air bag 2, the annular air bag 2 expands and blocks the gap between the mounting plate 11 and the crucible, starts the vacuum pump 10 to remove the air in the crucible, starts the first motor 9 and the first compressor 5, the threaded rod in the threaded conveying pipe 8 squeezes the powder into the crucible and compacts it. After filling is completed, the second water pump 15 removes the excess liquid in the annular air bag 2, the output shaft of the second motor 18 reverses, and the lifting plate 19 resets.
[0032] The storage bin 20 can be filled with a large amount of powder. After the storage silo 4 is moved and unloaded, the storage bin 20 can also be opened by starting the second compressor 21. The second compressor 21 applies positive pressure to the storage bin 20, and the powder is forced into the storage silo 4 through the pipeline. The storage silo 4 does not need to be designed to be too large, thereby reducing the pressure on the slide rail 3 and the first mounting bracket 1.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
