Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding device technology, and more specifically, to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, material storage, transportation, and processing are indispensable. As key equipment for material storage and transportation, the efficiency of silos directly impacts production progress and product quality. However, in actual operation, silos often face problems such as material blockage, clumping, and residue adhesion. These issues not only interrupt production processes, affect product quality stability, and increase maintenance costs, but can also damage equipment and even pose safety hazards. Therefore, further improvements and optimizations to silos are necessary.

[0003] Currently, widely used anti-clogging silos primarily rely on vibration and impact, such as CN111619973B, CN106185078B, and CN206013528U. By installing vibration motors or other excitation sources inside or outside the silo, high-frequency vibration and impact are generated. These forces effectively disrupt internal friction, deliquescence, and electrical charge between materials, thereby eliminating bridging, arching, and blockage. Mechanical stirring is also used to address these technical issues, such as CN119262579A and CN217199871U. For large-scale industrial silos, regardless of whether vibration or stirring is used, high-power vibration motors and / or rotary motors are required (e.g., CN217199871U requires a high-reduction-ratio motor). This not only results in high costs and energy consumption, but the high-decibel noise generated during vibration and / or rotation is also detrimental to the physical and mental health of workers.

[0004] Another method to solve the problem of silo blockage is through compressed gas impact, such as CN111619973B. However, such devices require complex gas channels and sealing components, and cannot effectively disperse hard or highly adhesive lumps of certain powders.

[0005] Meanwhile, some advanced anti-clogging silos also employ a dual anti-clogging structure, using multiple methods to ensure smooth material discharge, such as additional silo rotation on top of the aforementioned methods. While this optimizes the effect, it undoubtedly significantly complicates the related structures and equipment, placing higher demands on cost and maintenance.

[0006] In addition, the above methods cannot completely solve the problem of blockage in specific material silos. For example, waste lithium battery powder and electrode powder become more compacted under the vibration of the vibrating motor, resulting in more severe blockage. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, this application provides a feeding device to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0009] This utility model provides a feeding device, including: a hopper with a discharge port; an isolation component including multiple isolation members, the multiple isolation members being disposed in the hopper and arranged in a manner to separate a storage chamber and a discharge chamber in the hopper, the discharge port being connected to the discharge chamber; wherein any two adjacent isolation members are arranged close together and rotate in opposite directions.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the hopper is further provided with multiple sliding holes and multiple sliding grooves.

The central shaft of the roller body is exposed outside the hopper through the sliding holes and is connected to the second driving member. The isolation assembly also includes a connector, a sealing plate, and a guide rod. The connector and the sealing plate are both sleeved on the central shaft of the roller body. The sealing plate passes through the sliding groove and covers the outside of the sliding hole. The guide rod is connected to the sealing plate, and both ends of the connector are respectively connected to the guide rod and the output end of the first driving member. The first driving member is used to drive the connector to move along the preset direction.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a feeding auxiliary component, which is disposed at one end of the hopper near the discharge port and drives along the direction of the discharge port, with the end point of the feeding auxiliary component being disposed near the discharge port.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the discharge chamber has a conical structure, and the cone apex of the discharge chamber is located at one end of the discharge chamber near the discharge port. The hopper is also provided with a first discharge trough, which is located at the cone apex of the discharge chamber and communicates with the discharge chamber. The discharge port is located at one end of the first discharge trough and communicates with the first discharge trough. The feeding auxiliary component is located in the first discharge trough.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the hopper is further provided with a plurality of second discharge troughs, which are arranged at one end of the discharge chamber near the discharge port and are all connected to the discharge chamber. The discharge port is located at one end of the plurality of second discharge troughs, and one end of each second discharge trough is connected to the discharge port. Each second discharge trough is provided with a feeding auxiliary component.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the hopper is further provided with an inlet, which is located at one end of the hopper away from the outlet and communicates with the storage chamber.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a dust collector, which is connected to the hopper.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a plurality of nozzles disposed inside the hopper, and the orientation of the nozzle head of each nozzle can be adjusted arbitrarily.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a plurality of vibration motors, which are disposed on the side wall of the hopper.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the feeding device further includes a first level gauge and a second level gauge, both of which are disposed in the storage chamber, with the first level gauge disposed near the inlet and the second level gauge disposed near the isolation component.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the storage cavity perpendicular to the preset direction gradually increases along the preset direction, so that the storage cavity has a trapezoidal structure, and the small end of the trapezoidal structure is located away from the discharge port.

[0026] In an optional implementation, the storage cavity may have a regular hexahedral structure.

[0027] The feeding device of this application has the following advantages:

[0028] This utility model uses multiple separators to divide the material storage chamber and the material discharge chamber within the hopper. Material entering the storage chamber is temporarily stored there, preventing a large amount of material from falling into the discharge port and reducing the probability of the discharge port being blocked by material. At the same time, material falling onto the separators is mechanically carried into the discharge chamber and discharged in an orderly manner from the discharge port. This overcomes the problems of interruption, obstruction, slow discharge, and difficulty in discharge caused by local negative pressure when relying solely on gravity for discharge, and can also effectively prevent material from caking at the bottom of the hopper.

[0029] The material feeding section of this invention can first crush solidified, hard, or highly viscous materials, and then squeeze them into the discharge chamber, further reducing the blockage of materials at the discharge port. At the same time, the material feeding section also acts as a material blocking section, further preventing a large amount of material from falling into the discharge chamber from between the isolation parts, further reducing the probability of the discharge port being blocked by materials.

[0030] This invention uses a single drive unit to power 1-2 isolation units, avoiding the need for expensive, high-power equipment. By controlling the rotational speed of the isolation units, their number of activations, and the distribution of activated isolation units, the material feeding speed is controlled, and residual material in specific areas is effectively discharged. This ensures smooth, efficient, and complete material discharge while achieving multi-dimensional improvements in energy saving, efficiency enhancement, and consumption reduction. Furthermore, adjusting the direction of the drive unit can change the rotation direction of adjacent isolation units, enabling dynamic adjustments to material feeding and breaking in different operating times and areas. This provides flexible and diverse operating methods and resolves common material blockages without requiring machine downtime.

[0031] This invention, through distance control between the feeding sections, ensures that most of the material is temporarily stored in the storage chamber while allowing the material to fall into the discharge chamber under controlled conditions during operation. Controlling the thickness of the feeding rollers ensures the service life of the feeding section, its material-dispersing effect, and improves the feeding efficiency of the feeding device. By controlling parameters such as the roller diameter, the outer diameter of the feeding section, and the distance between the rollers, the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the feeding device are coordinated, operating energy consumption is reduced, and the orderly and controllable material discharge is ensured.

[0032] This invention, through the setting of a heating element, can dry and heat materials, effectively preventing materials from clumping, sticking, and sticking to rollers. At the same time, the dried materials further reduce the risk of the discharge port being blocked.

[0033] This invention, through the installation of a dust collector, enables the waste gas generated during drying and the dust generated during the feeding process to be collected centrally, which not only avoids dust overflow and pollution to the environment, but also balances the internal pressure of the silo and further optimizes the smoothness of material discharge.

[0034] This invention, through the design of the first driving component, can break up or de-bridging clumped or arched materials, preventing material from accumulating in the space above the isolation components and thus preventing it from falling smoothly into the working area of ​​the isolation components. Simultaneously, it facilitates comprehensive cleaning of each isolation component, preventing residual material adhesion and eliminating blind spots in the cleaning process.

[0035] This invention, through the setting of a feeding auxiliary component, not only further improves the discharge efficiency, but also avoids the accumulation or local residue of materials in the discharge chamber.

[0036] This utility model improves material discharge efficiency by arranging multiple feeding auxiliary components side by side, while avoiding the problems of material accumulation and excessive pressure in the hopper causing the feeding auxiliary components to fail to start or fail to start quickly.

[0037] This invention effectively reduces material adhesion to the walls by designing the shape of the storage cavity.

[0038] This invention, through the arrangement of heating components, dust removal components, a second driving component, cleaning nozzles, vibration components, and a storage chamber, not only further optimizes the material storage and discharging process by utilizing each component, but also allows the components to work together to minimize problems such as material blockage, clumping, wall adhesion, and residue buildup that exist in traditional silos, thereby improving equipment operating rate and ensuring product quality stability.

[0039] This invention is applicable to the storage of various materials and can fully drain the materials. It is especially suitable for highly viscous or fine-grained materials. After draining, it can efficiently and thoroughly clean a small amount of stubborn residue, ensuring the quality between different batches of materials. It can not only store general raw materials, such as battery powder, electrode powder, and auxiliary materials, but also high-purity materials, such as battery-grade lithium carbonate.

[0040] This utility model has a simple structure and operation, is easy to maintain, significantly reduces the frequency of production downtime for maintenance, and can be operated with a small-power motor, resulting in low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0065] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the feeding device includes a hopper 100 and an isolation component 200.

[0066] Specifically, the silo 100 is provided with a discharge port 110; the isolation assembly 200 includes a plurality of isolation elements 210, which are disposed within the silo 100 and arranged in a manner to separate the storage chamber 120 and the discharge chamber 130 within the silo 100, with the discharge port 110 communicating with the discharge chamber 130; wherein any two adjacent isolation elements 210 are arranged close together and rotate in opposite directions.

[0067] In the feeding device of this application, since multiple isolation members 210 are arranged to separate the storage chamber 120 and the discharge chamber 130 in the hopper 100, when the material enters the hopper 100, since any two adjacent isolation members 210 are arranged close together, the material entering the storage chamber 120 will fall onto the isolation component 200 and be temporarily stored in the storage chamber 120, avoiding the material from accumulating in large quantities at the discharge port 110 and avoiding the formation of a full-space material accumulation above the discharge port 110, thereby reducing the probability of the discharge port 110 being blocked by material. At the same time, since any two adjacent isolation members 210 rotate in opposite directions, the material falling onto the isolation component 200 is carried into the discharge chamber 130 by the mechanical action formed by the rotation of the isolation member 210, and discharged in an orderly manner from the discharge port 110, overcoming the interruption, obstruction, slow discharge, and difficulty in discharge caused by local negative pressure during the discharge process relying solely on gravity.

[0068] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the isolation member 210 includes a roller body portion 211 and a plurality of feeding portions 212. The feeding portions 212 are circumferentially arranged around the roller body portion 211 and protrude from the roller body portion 211 radially. The plurality of feeding portions 212 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the roller body portion 211.

[0069] In this configuration, the rotation directions of the roller body portions 211 of any two adjacent isolation members 210 are opposite, and the feeding portions 212 of any two adjacent isolation members 210 are staggered along the roller axis direction of the roller body portions 211.

[0070] In this embodiment, the material feeding part 212 is rotated by the roller body 211. Since the material feeding part 212 is circumferentially arranged around the roller body 211 and protrudes radially from the roller body 211, when the material feeding part 212 rotates with the roller body 211, it can first break up solidified, hard or highly viscous materials, and then squeeze them into the discharge chamber 130 through the roller body 211. This reduces the phenomenon of material blockage at the discharge port 110. At the same time, since the material feeding parts 212 of any two adjacent isolation members 210 are staggered in the axial direction, the staggered material feeding parts 212 between any two adjacent isolation members 210 can also play a role in blocking materials, preventing a large amount of material from falling into the discharge chamber 130 between any two adjacent isolation members 210. This further reduces the probability of the discharge port 110 being blocked by materials.

[0071] Specifically, refer to Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the isolation assembly 200 further includes a plurality of second driving members 240. Each second driving member 240 is connected to a roller body 211 and is used to drive the roller body 211 to rotate, and any two adjacent roller body 211 rotate in opposite directions; or each second driving member 240 is connected to two adjacent roller body 211 and is used to drive the two roller body 211 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby realizing the driving of the roller body 211. Since each second driving member 240 only needs to drive one or two adjacent roller body 211 to rotate, the use of expensive high-power power equipment is avoided, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving, efficiency improvement and consumption reduction.

[0072] More specifically, in this embodiment, when the second drive member 240 is connected to any two adjacent roller sections 211 and is used to drive the two roller sections 211 to rotate in opposite directions, the second drive member 240 is a forward and reverse motor. By adjusting the direction of the forward and reverse motor, the rotation direction of the adjacent roller sections 211 can be changed, so as to dynamically adjust the feeding process.

[0073] More specifically, in this embodiment, multiple second drive units 240 can be started simultaneously or not simultaneously. That is, all of the multiple second drive units 240 can be started or partially started. The motor frequency of each second drive unit 240 can be the same or different. By controlling the start and stop of multiple second drive units 240 and the motor frequency, the rotation speed of each roller 211, the number of rotations of the roller 211, and the distribution of the rotating roller 211 can be controlled to control the feeding speed, feeding area, and feeding amount. The feeding operation can be flexibly adjusted according to the material properties and discharge characteristics to achieve flexible and efficient material discharge, adapt to different operation requirements, facilitate the discharge of tail material, and reduce energy consumption.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 8 As shown, the distance L1 between any two adjacent feeding sections 212 satisfies: 1mm≤L1≤15mm.

[0075] Specifically, L1 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, etc.

[0076] In this embodiment, if the distance between any two adjacent feeding sections 212 is too small, the material cannot fall when the roller section 211 rotates. If the distance is too large, too much material will enter the discharge chamber 130 when feeding or storing. When the following condition is met: 1mm≤L1≤15mm, most of the material can be temporarily stored in the storage chamber 120 by the isolation component 200, and the material can be controlled to fall from any two adjacent isolation components 210 into the discharge chamber 130 when the isolation component 210 is working.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, a removable baffle is provided below the isolation component 200. The distance between the plane of the removable baffle and the plane of the isolation component 200 is ≤10mm. In this way, when it is not desired to feed or store material, a small amount of material flows out from the gap between any two adjacent feeding parts 212, and the baffle is activated; otherwise, the baffle is removed.

[0078] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the axial thickness of each feeding section 212 is L2, which satisfies: 10mm≤L2≤50mm.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the thickness L2 of each feeding section 212 along the axial direction of the roller body section 211 can be 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, etc.

[0080] In this embodiment, if the axial thickness of the feeding part 212 is too small, the feeding part 212 is prone to deformation due to material compression when it breaks up the material, resulting in a shorter service life. If the axial thickness of the feeding part 212 is too large, it will not only reduce the material breaking effect of the feeding part 212 when it breaks up the material, but also prevent the broken material from efficiently passing between any two separators 210 and falling into the discharge chamber 130, thus affecting the feeding efficiency. When the axial thickness of the feeding part 212 satisfies 10mm≤L2≤50mm, it can both extend the service life of the feeding part 212 and improve the feeding efficiency of the feeding device of this application.

[0081] Continue to refer to Figure 8 As shown, the diameter of each roller body 211 is D1, the outer diameter of each feeding part 212 is D2, and the radial distance between any two adjacent roller body parts 211 is L3, satisfying: 150mm≤D1≤400mm, 1.5D1≤D2≤2.0D1, 50mm≤L3≤220mm.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter D1 of the roller body 211 can be 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, etc.; the outer diameter D2 of the feeding part 212 can be 1.5D1, 1.6D1, 1.7D1, 1.8D1, 1.9D1, 2.0D1, etc.; the radial distance L3 between any two adjacent roller body parts 211 can be 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 220mm, etc.

[0083] In this embodiment, if the diameter D1 of the roller body 211 is less than 150mm and D2 is less than 1.5D1, the diameter of the roller body 211 and the outer diameter of the feeding part 212 will be too small. This would require increasing the number of radially arranged roller bodies 211, increasing the manufacturing cost of the feeding device. If the diameter D1 of the roller body 211 is greater than 400mm and D2 is greater than 2.0D1, the diameter of the roller body 211 and the outer diameter of the feeding part 212 will be too large, requiring an increase in the driving power of the second driving member 240 on the roller body 211, leading to increased energy consumption. When the diameter of the roller body 211 satisfies 150mm≤D1≤400mm and 1.5D1≤D2≤2.0D1, both the manufacturing cost and the operating energy consumption of the feeding device can be reduced. Furthermore, when 1.5D1≤D2≤2.0D1, if any If the radial distance L3 between two adjacent roller sections 211 is less than 50mm, the distance between any two adjacent roller sections 211 will be too small, causing interference between the feeding parts 212 on any two adjacent roller sections 211 and affecting the rotation of the roller section 211. If the radial distance L3 between any two adjacent roller sections 211 is greater than 220mm, the distance between any two adjacent roller sections 211 will be too large, resulting in a large amount of material falling into the discharge chamber 130 from between any two adjacent separators 210. When the radial distance between any two adjacent roller sections 211 satisfies 50mm≤L3≤220mm, interference between the feeding parts 212 on any two adjacent roller sections 211 and a large amount of material falling into the discharge chamber 130 from between any two adjacent separators 210 can be avoided.

[0084] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the isolation assembly 200 also includes a plurality of heating elements 220, which are disposed on the isolation assembly 210.

[0085] In this embodiment, since each isolation member 210 is provided with a heating element 220, the isolation member 210 can be heated by the heating element 220, thereby heating the material on the isolation member 210, so as to dry the material with high moisture content. This can effectively prevent the material from clumping, sticking, and sticking to the roller on the isolation member 210. At the same time, the dried material further reduces the probability of the discharge port 110 being blocked.

[0086] Specifically, in this embodiment, the heating element 220 is disposed inside the roller body portion 211 and extends along the axial direction of the roller body portion 211. A heat-carrying fluid (hot water or hot gas, etc.) is introduced into the heating element 220 to heat the isolation member 210. The heat-carrying fluid enters from one end of the heating element 220 along the axial direction of the roller body portion 211 and flows out from the other end of the heating element 220 along the axial direction of the roller body portion 211 to heat various parts along the axial direction of the roller body portion 211.

[0087] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding device also includes a feeding port 180 and a dust collector 400. The feeding port 180 is located at the end of the silo 100 away from the discharge port 110 and is connected to the storage chamber 120. The dust collector 400 is connected to the silo 100 so that the exhaust gas generated during drying and the dust generated during the feeding process can be collected by the dust collector 400. This not only avoids dust overflow and pollution to the environment, but also balances the internal pressure of the silo 100 and further optimizes the smoothness of the discharge.

[0088] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the isolation component 200 also includes a plurality of first driving members 230. Both ends of each isolation member 210 are connected to the first driving member 230. The first driving member 230 is used to drive the isolation member 210 to move along a preset direction x.

[0089] It should be noted that the preset direction x is Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The direction indicated by x in the middle.

[0090] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple first driving elements 230 can be started simultaneously or not simultaneously. That is, all of the multiple first driving elements 230 can be started or some can be started. Moreover, the distance that each group of first driving elements 230 at both ends of the isolator 210 drives the isolator 210 to move along the preset direction x can be the same or different.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first driving member 230 can drive the isolation member 210 to move along a preset direction x. When the material forms a slab or bridge on the isolation component 200, the first driving member 230 drives the corresponding isolation member 210 to move along the preset direction x to the slab or bridge, so as to break or break the slab or bridge material, so as to avoid the material from accumulating in the space above the isolation component 200 and failing to fall smoothly into the working area of ​​the isolation member 210. At the same time, when it is necessary to clean the isolation member 210, the first driving member 230 can drive the corresponding isolation member 210 to move along the preset direction x, so that multiple isolation members 210 are staggered in the preset direction x, so as to facilitate all-round cleaning of each isolation member 210, avoid residual material adhesion, and avoid dead corners in the cleaning operation.

[0092] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the hopper 100 is further provided with a plurality of sliding holes 160 and a plurality of sliding grooves 170. The sliding holes 160 and the sliding grooves 170 are all extended along a preset direction x, and each sliding hole 160 is connected to a sliding groove 170. The central shaft of the roller body 211 is exposed outside the hopper 100 through the sliding hole 160 and is connected to the second drive member 240. The isolation assembly 200 also includes a connector 250, a sealing plate 260 and a guide rod 270. The connector 250 and the sealing plate 260 are both sleeved on the central shaft of the roller body 211. The sealing plate 260 passes through the sliding groove 170 and covers the outside of the sliding hole 160. The guide rod 270 is connected to the sealing plate 260, and the two ends of the connector 250 are respectively connected to the guide rod 270 and the output end of the first drive member 230. The first drive member 230 is used to drive the connector 250 to move along the preset direction x.

[0093] In this embodiment, the roller body 211 moves relative to the sliding hole 160 along a preset direction x. When the roller body 211 moves relative to the sliding hole 160 along the preset direction x, the roller body 211 drives the sealing plate 260 to move within the sliding groove 170 along the preset direction x, and always covers the outside of the sliding hole 160 (for ease of showing the sliding hole 160, therefore...). Figure 2 The sliding hole 160 is partially exposed outside the sealing plate 260 to seal the position of the hopper 100 at the sliding hole 160 during the movement of the isolator 210, preventing material from being discharged from the hopper 100 through the sliding hole 160; the roller body 211 rotates relative to the connector 250 to avoid interference from the connector 250 on the rotation of the roller body 211. When the first drive member 230 drives the connector 250 to move along the preset direction x, the roller body 211 and the sealing plate 260 can be driven to move simultaneously along the preset direction x through the connector 250, thereby realizing the movement of the isolator 210 in the preset direction x. At the same time, the guide rod 270 can improve the accuracy of the extension and retraction direction of the first drive member 230 along the preset direction x, thereby improving the smoothness of the sliding of the sealing plate 260 in the sliding groove 170.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving member 230 is a driving cylinder, which extends and retracts along a preset direction x to drive the connecting member 250 to move along the preset direction x.

[0095] Reference Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the feeding device also includes a feeding auxiliary component 300. The feeding auxiliary component 300 is disposed at one end of the hopper 100 near the discharge port 110 and is driven along the direction of the discharge port 110. The end point of the transmission of the feeding auxiliary component 300 is disposed near the discharge port 110.

[0096] In this embodiment, when the material falls into the discharge chamber 130 via the isolation component 200, it can be conveyed to the discharge port 110 by the feeding auxiliary component 300, thereby improving the discharge efficiency and preventing the material from accumulating in the discharge chamber 130.

[0097] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the discharge chamber 130 has a conical structure, and the cone top of the discharge chamber 130 is located at one end of the discharge chamber 130 near the discharge port 110. The hopper 100 is also provided with a first discharge trough 140, which is located at the cone top of the discharge chamber 130 and communicates with the discharge chamber 130. The discharge port 110 is located at one end of the first discharge trough 140 and communicates with the first discharge trough 140. The feeding auxiliary component 300 is located in the first discharge trough 140.

[0098] In this embodiment, since the discharge chamber 130 has a conical structure and the cone apex of the discharge chamber 130 is located at the end of the discharge chamber 130 near the discharge port 110, when the material falls into the discharge chamber 130 through the isolation component 200, it can fall into the end of the discharge chamber 130 near the discharge port 110 more quickly, thereby improving the discharge efficiency. Since the first discharge trough 140 is located at the cone apex of the discharge chamber 130, the discharge port 110 is located at one end of the first discharge trough 140, and the feeding auxiliary component 300 is located in the first discharge trough 140, when the material falls into the discharge chamber 130 through the isolation component 200, the material can fall into the first discharge trough 140, and then the feeding auxiliary component 300 will convey the material along the first direction to the discharge port 110, thereby further improving the discharge efficiency and reducing the material residue in the discharge chamber 130.

[0099] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the hopper 100 is further provided with a plurality of second discharge troughs 150. The plurality of second discharge troughs 150 are arranged at one end of the discharge chamber 130 near the discharge port 110 and are all connected to the discharge chamber 130. The discharge port 110 is located at one end of the plurality of second discharge troughs 150, and one end of each second discharge trough 150 is connected to the discharge port 110. Each second discharge trough 150 is provided with a feeding auxiliary component 300.

[0100] In this embodiment, since the discharge ports 110 are arranged in parallel, the discharge flow rate at the discharge ports 110 can be increased, thereby improving the discharge efficiency. Since multiple second discharge troughs 150 are arranged at one end of the discharge cavity 130 near the discharge port 110, when the material falls into the discharge cavity 130 through the isolation component 200, the material can fall into the multiple second discharge troughs 150, thus preventing the material from accumulating at the bottom of the discharge cavity 130 and reducing the impact on the rotation of the feeding auxiliary component 300. At the same time, when the material falls into the second discharge trough 150, it can be conveyed to the discharge port 110 by the feeding auxiliary component 300 in the second discharge trough 150, thereby further improving the discharge efficiency.

[0101] Specifically, in some embodiments, the feeding auxiliary component 300 is a discharge screw, which drives the material through rotation. In other embodiments, the feeding auxiliary component 300 can also be a conveyor belt or other conveying component that can achieve the transmission function.

[0102] Specifically, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the storage cavity 120 perpendicular to the preset direction x gradually increases along the preset direction x, so that the storage cavity 120 is either a trapezoidal structure with the small end of the trapezoidal structure located away from the discharge port 110; or the storage cavity 120 is a regular hexahedron structure, thereby effectively reducing the phenomenon of material sticking to the wall in the storage cavity 120.

[0103] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device further includes multiple nozzles 500, all of which are disposed inside the hopper 100. When it is necessary to replace the material, the multiple nozzles 500 can spray one or a combination of gas or liquid onto the inner wall of the hopper 100, the isolation member 210, and the feeding auxiliary member 300 to clean the residual material and thoroughly clean it. The direction of the nozzle of each nozzle 500 can be adjusted arbitrarily to achieve spraying at various points inside the hopper 100. At the same time, during the spraying process, the isolation member 210 can be driven to rotate and move along a preset direction x by the first driving member 230 and the second driving member 240, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the isolation member 210.

[0104] Specifically, refer to Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device also includes multiple vibration motors 600, which are arranged on the side wall of the hopper 100 to generate small vibrations on the periphery of the hopper 100, so as to more effectively shake off the residual material adhering to the inner wall of the hopper 100. At the same time, the vibration can also be used to clean the slab and arched material of the isolation component 200, so as to more effectively shake off the residual material adhering to the isolation component 200. Furthermore, the spraying can be combined with the operation of the vibration motors 600 to drive the isolation component 210 to vibrate, further optimizing the residual material desorption effect.

[0105] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a first level gauge 700 and a second level gauge 800. Both the first level gauge 700 and the second level gauge 800 are disposed in the storage cavity 120, with the first level gauge 700 disposed near the inlet 180 and the second level gauge 800 disposed near the isolation component 200. The first level gauge 700 and the second level gauge 800 are used to detect the amount of material in the storage cavity 120 and control the amount of material in the storage cavity 120 between the first level gauge 700 and the second level gauge 800. This controls the speed at which the material enters the storage cavity 120 and the speed at which the material leaves the storage cavity 120, preventing the material from accumulating in the storage cavity 120 and detecting the amount of material stored in the storage cavity 120.
