Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material weighing technology, and in particular relates to a split-type micro-weighing structure. Background Technology
[0002] With domestic feed production capacity becoming increasingly saturated, powerful domestic feed groups are turning their attention to overseas markets and increasing their investment in setting up factories abroad. Currently, many well-known companies have begun to increase the number of factories built in Southeast Asia, and New Hope is also continuously setting up new factories in Southeast Asia and Africa. This trend has led to an increasing demand for feed production equipment, especially auxiliary equipment such as micro-weighing equipment, from international projects.
[0003] However, existing micro-weighing structures often do not fully consider the special characteristics of international transportation, especially the limitations of container shipping. Feed mills are usually small and compact, and micro-weighing, as a later-developed non-core device, needs to be assembled into easy-to-install modules for shipment when upgrading, modifying, or exporting. In international projects, due to long transportation distances and high costs, shipping via containers becomes the inevitable choice. This requires that the micro-weighing structure must be disassembled, easy to assemble, and convenient for container shipping in order to reduce transportation costs and improve market competitiveness.
[0004] Existing micro-weighing structures present numerous transportation inconveniences. On the one hand, their overall structure is relatively fixed and difficult to disassemble into modules suitable for container transportation. On the other hand, even if they can be disassembled, the connection and assembly between the components are quite complex, increasing the difficulty and time cost of on-site installation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a split-type micro-weighing structure.
