[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This implementation example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a multi-chamber flotation agent storage tank includes a storage tank 1, a partition 2, a self-cleaning distributor 3, and a motor 4. The partition 2 is installed inside the storage tank 1 and divides the inner cavity of the storage tank 1 into multiple storage chambers. The self-cleaning distributor 3 is installed inside the storage tank 1, and multiple discharge ports of the self-cleaning distributor 3 are respectively connected to multiple storage chambers. The motor 4 is installed on the storage tank 1, and the power output end of the motor 4 is connected to the power input end of the self-cleaning distributor 3.

[0028] The self-cleaning distributor 3 is installed at the center of the storage tank 1. Multiple baffles 2 are arranged in a petal shape around the self-cleaning distributor 3. Each discharge port of the self-cleaning distributor 3 corresponds to the storage cavity formed by the baffles 2 and the storage tank 1. Each time liquid is supplied, the motor 4 rotates (for example, in the forward direction) to drive the corresponding discharge port of the self-cleaning distributor 3 to open. The external water pump starts to pump liquid to the self-cleaning distributor 3 through the delivery pipe. The flotation agent of this type will enter the corresponding storage cavity. After the pumping is completed, the motor 4 reverses, closes the discharge port and realizes the self-cleaning function to prevent residue.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, for example Figure 3The self-cleaning distributor 3 is shown to include a column 5, a screw 6, a gate opener 7, a scraper 8, and a limiting block 9. The upper part of the column 5 is provided with a cavity 11, which is provided with several material inlets and several distribution ports located below the material inlets. The distribution ports are distributed from top to bottom on the cavity 11 and correspond one-to-one with multiple storage cavities. The screw 6 is slidably mounted on the column 5 through a dynamic sealing pair, and the bottom of the screw 6 is located inside the cavity 11. The passive part of the gate opener 7 is located inside the distribution port, and the active part of the gate opener 7 is located at the bottom of the screw 6. The spacing between adjacent active parts of the gate opener 7 gradually increases from bottom to top. The scraper 8 is installed at the bottom end of the screw 6 and is adapted to the inner wall of the cavity 11. The limiting block 9 is installed at the top of the column 5 and is slidably engaged with the screw 6.

[0031] When liquid needs to be supplied to the corresponding storage chamber, the motor 4 is started to rotate forward, driving the screw 6 to move downward, thereby controlling the passive part of the opening and closing device 7 on the corresponding distribution port to be opened and in the normally open state. Then, external pumping equipment such as water pumps start to work, pumping liquid (flotation agent) into the cavity 11 of the column 5. Then, this type of flotation agent flows into the corresponding storage chamber through the normally open opening and closing device 7 until the pumping work is completed. Then, the motor 4 reverses and drives the screw 6 to move upward, firstly to close the opening and closing device 7 and achieve reset, and secondly to scrape the residual flotation agent in the cavity 11 upward with the help of the scraper 8 and discharge it through the material port.

[0032] It is worth noting that which distribution port is opened is determined by the vertical movement of screw 6. This can be achieved by manually controlling the start and stop of motor 4, or by using a PLC controller or other means. Furthermore, the pipeline on the feed port is equipped with a solenoid valve, which can coordinate the corresponding liquid flow direction.

[0033] In addition, the opening and closing devices 7 on each distribution port will not interfere with each other, because the distance between the active parts of adjacent opening and closing devices 7 gradually increases from bottom to top, and there will be no phenomenon of more than one opening and closing device 7 opening at the same time.

[0034] Each pumping operation must wait for the corresponding distribution port's open / close device 7 to confirm that it is open before proceeding. Each scraping operation by the scraper 8 must wait for the open / close device 7 to confirm that it is completely closed before proceeding.

[0035] Preferably, the inner wall of the limiting block 9 is provided with a protrusion, and the outer peripheral surface of the screw 6 is provided with a strip groove 10 that matches the protrusion.

[0036] The protrusion on the limiting block 9 is used to limit the axial rotation of the screw 6, so that the screw 6 can move up and down when the driven gear 12 is driven to rotate by the outside.

[0037] Preferably, a driven gear 12 that is threadedly connected to the screw 6 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the limiting block 9, and a driving gear 13 that meshes with the driven gear 12 is mounted on the power output end of the motor 4.

[0038] The motor 4 moves the screw 6 up and down by means of the driving gear 13, the driven gear 12, and the limiting block 9.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, for example Figure 4 As shown, the opener 7 includes a self-closing component 14, a trigger block 15, and an induction block 16. The self-closing component 14 is installed in the dispensing port. The trigger block 15 is rotatably installed on the movable end of the self-closing component 14, and the center of gravity of the trigger block 15 is located at the rotatable connection point away from the trigger block 15. The induction block 16 is installed on the screw 6. A wedge surface that cooperates with each other is provided between the trigger block 15 and the induction block 16. The higher end of the wedge surface is inclined toward the self-closing component 14.

[0041] The heuristic block 16 moves up and down together with the screw 6. When it moves down, the heuristic block 16 will press against the corresponding trigger block 15. The trigger block 15 will gradually be subjected to force until the force exceeds the closing force of the self-closing component 14, at which point the self-closing component 14 can be opened to allow the liquid to flow into the storage cavity.

[0042] Preferably, the self-closing assembly 14 includes a tension spring 17 and a plug 18. The plug 18 is installed on the outside of the dispensing port by the tension spring 17 and seals the dispensing port. The inner side of the plug 18 is provided with a receiving groove that is adapted to the trigger block 15.

[0043] Because the distance between the initiating blocks 16 of adjacent opening and closing devices 7 gradually increases from bottom to top, when the uppermost opening and closing device 7 is opened, the initiating block 16 of the lower opening and closing device 7 will necessarily be below its corresponding trigger block 15. When the screw 6 is reset, that is, when the scraper 8 moves up to scrape away the residue, the initiating block 16 and the trigger block 15 will come into contact again. The trigger block 15 that has been flipped over by the initiating block 16 can be stored in the receiving groove, which will not hinder the upward movement of the initiating block 16, and will not affect the upward movement of the scraper 8 to scrape away the residue.

[0044] Preferably, the inner side of the plug 18 is adapted to the inner side of the dispensing port.

[0045] The inner side of the plug 18 is adapted to the inner side of the dispensing port in order to reduce the dead corners scraped by the scraper 8 and minimize residue.

[0046] Preferably, the feed inlet includes a liquid inlet 19 and a liquid outlet 20.

[0047] The number of inlet ports 19 and outlet ports 20 corresponds to the number of storage chambers. For example, one inlet port 19 and one outlet port 20 correspond to one storage chamber, one inlet and one outlet.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
