[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection device 1 is a collection vehicle.

[0034] Specifically, the first feed pipe 2 is provided with a first feed valve 201 and a second feed valve 202. The first feed valve 201 is located at one end of the first feed pipe 2 that connects to the collecting device 1, and the second feed valve 202 is located at one end of the first feed pipe 2 that connects to the vacuum tank 3.

[0035] Specifically, the vacuum tank 3 is positioned above the metering tank 5, with its bottom connected to the top of the metering tank 5. This allows the material in the vacuum tank 3 to be directly transferred to the metering tank 5 for metering.

[0036] Specifically, the upper part of the vacuum tank 3 is equipped with a high liquid level 301. When the material in the vacuum tank 3 reaches the high liquid level, the vacuum tank 3 stops vacuum suction. The bottom of the vacuum tank 3 is equipped with a low liquid level 302. When the material is at the low liquid level, a demand command is issued and the vacuum system 4 performs vacuuming and transports the material into the vacuum tank 3 through vacuum suction.

[0037] Specifically, a second level gauge 102 is provided at the bottom of the collecting device 1.

[0038] Specifically, a first discharge valve 11 is provided between the vacuum tank 3 and the metering tank 5.

[0039] Specifically, a vacuum valve is provided between the vacuum tank 3 and the vacuum system 4.

[0040] Specifically, the vacuum system 4 includes a vacuum tube 402 and a vacuum pump 401. The vacuum tube 402 connects the vacuum tank 3 and the vacuum pump 401. Vacuum valves are installed on the vacuum tube 402. The vacuum valves include a first vacuum valve 403 and a second vacuum valve 404. The first vacuum valve 403 is installed at one end of the vacuum tube 402 connected to the vacuum tube 402, and the second vacuum valve 404 is installed at one end of the vacuum tube 402 connected to the vacuum pump 401.

[0041] Specifically, the vacuum tank 3 is equipped with an exhaust port 7, and the exhaust port 7 is equipped with an exhaust valve 701.

[0042] Specifically, the protective liquid inlet 10 is connected to a second feed pipe 6, and a protective liquid valve 602 is provided on the second feed pipe 6.

[0043] Specifically, a diaphragm pump 601 is also provided at the end of the second conveying pipe 6 that is away from the metering tank 5.

[0044] Specifically, vacuum tank 3 and metering tank 5 are connected by a water inlet pipe 8, and a water inlet valve is installed on the water inlet pipe 8.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water inlet valve includes a first water inlet valve 801 and a second water inlet valve 802, which are respectively installed on the water inlet pipe 8 connecting the vacuum tank 3 and the metering tank 5.

[0046] Specifically, this also includes the control system, which is used to regulate the operation of the entire equipment.

[0047] The working principle of the automatic conveying and metering equipment for solid-liquid mixtures in this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] The collecting device 1 receives material from the sorting line 12. When the first level gauge 101 detects material, it opens the first feed valve 201, the second feed valve 202, the first vacuum valve 403, and the second vacuum valve 404. At this time, all other valves are closed. The vacuum pump 401 is started, and the material is transported from the collecting device 1 to the vacuum tank 3 by vacuum suction. When the liquid level of the material reaches the high liquid level 301 of the vacuum tank, the vacuum pump 401 is turned off, the vacuum suction is stopped, and the first discharge valve 11 is opened to transport the material to the metering tank 5. At this time, when the liquid level of the material in the vacuum tank 3 reaches the low liquid level 302 of the vacuum tank, the first discharge valve 11 is closed, the vacuum pump 401 is turned on, and the material continues to be transported to the vacuum tank 3 until the liquid level of the material reaches the high liquid level 301 of the vacuum tank again. Then, the vacuum pump 401 is turned off, the first discharge valve 11 is opened, and the material continues to be transported to the metering tank 5.

[0049] The metering sensor 503 in metering tank 5 weighs the material and transmits the signal to the control system. Once the preset weight is reached, the first discharge valve 11 is closed, and the discharge valve 502 is opened to transport the weighed material to the ton tank 9. Subsequently, the diaphragm pump 601, protective liquid valve 602, and inlet valve 1001 are opened to deliver the protective liquid to metering tank 5. The metering sensor 503 weighs the protective liquid and transmits the signal to the control system. When the preset weight is reached, the diaphragm pump 601, protective liquid valve 602, and inlet valve 1001 are closed to stop the protective liquid inflow. The discharge valve 502 is then opened to deliver the weighed protective liquid to the ton tank 9. The loading of the material and protective liquid is completed.

[0050] After all materials are loaded into the tanks, close all valves and open the first water inlet valve 801 and the second water inlet valve 802 to deliver boiling water to the vacuum tank 3 and the metering tank 5, and clean and disinfect the vacuum tank 3 and the metering tank 5 by rotating the spray ball.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
