[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an automatic feeding device for the production of rotomolded pickles, which can achieve the following effect. It includes: a main unit 100, which includes a fixing plate 101 and a fixing disk 103. Multiple feeding pipes 105 are fixedly embedded on the fixing disk 103, and a storage cylinder 104 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the multiple feeding pipes 105.
[0030] A quantitative dispensing unit 200, positioned above the fixed plate 101, is used for quantitative feeding; and
[0031] The material positioning unit 300, located below the fixed plate 101, assists the quantitative material dispensing unit 200 in adding materials into the storage cylinder 104.
[0032] In use, the quantitative feeding unit 200 pre-dispenses the material, and the feeding positioning unit 300 assists the quantitative feeding unit 200 in adding the material into the storage cylinder 104 respectively. When it is necessary to add material to the popball mold, simply move the entire mold under the fixed plate 103, and the plastic granules can be added to different molds at one time, realizing rapid feeding and improving feeding efficiency. Moreover, the quantitative feeding is accurate, improving product quality and reducing the defect rate.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the quantitative dispensing unit 200 is set in two groups. Each group of quantitative dispensing units 200 includes a quantitative feeder 201 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 101. A material bucket 202 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each quantitative feeder 201. A hose 203 is fixedly installed at the output end of each quantitative feeder 201. A discharge pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the other end of each hose 203.
[0035] It should be noted that the quantitative feeder 201 uses equipment commonly used by those in the art, which can weigh and discharge materials quantitatively. Since the quantitative feeder 201 is a commonly used piece of equipment and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific structure will not be described here.
[0036] Preferably, all the hoses 203 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has a smooth surface and is not easy to adhere to materials.
[0037] Furthermore, the feeding and positioning unit 300 includes a servo motor 301 fixedly installed on the upper end of the fixed plate 101. The output end of the servo motor 301 passes through the fixed plate 101 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 302. The lower end of the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 303. Two frames 304 are fixedly connected to the rotating plate 303. A reduction motor 305 is fixedly connected to one end of each frame 304. The output end of each reduction motor 305 passes through the frame 304 and is fixedly connected to a ball screw 306. A screw sleeve 307 is meshed with each ball screw 306. A moving rod 308 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each screw sleeve 307. The lower end of each moving rod 308 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 204.
[0038] It should be noted that the servo motor 301 and the rotating shaft 302 intermittently drive the rotating plate 303 to rotate in a circular motion, with a rotation angle range of 0-180°.
[0039] Furthermore, both the rotating plate 303 and the frame 304 are provided with through holes for limiting the movement rods 308, and one end of each of the multiple movement rods 308 passes through the through hole and is slidably connected in the through hole;
[0040] It should be noted that the through hole serves to limit the movement of the moving rod 308, allowing it to move only axially.
[0041] Furthermore, multiple material hoppers 202 are connected to the inlet of the quantitative feeder 201, and the pickle material is continuously added through the material hoppers 202.
[0042] Furthermore, each of the multiple feeding pipes 105 is connected to a multiple storage cylinder 104, and each of the multiple feeding pipes 105 is fixedly equipped with a solenoid valve 106.
[0043] Furthermore, the fixed plate 103 and the fixed plate 101 are fixedly connected by multiple connecting rods 102.
[0044] In operation, the servo motor 301 is started, and its output drives the rotating plate 303 to rotate via the rotating shaft 302, causing the discharge pipe 204 to rotate circumferentially. At the same time, the reduction motor 305 is started, and its output drives the ball screw 306 to rotate. The ball screw 306 and the screw sleeve 307 drive the moving rod 308 to move, and the moving rod 308 drives the discharge pipe 204 to move axially. In summary, the discharge pipe 204 moves to the top of different storage cylinders 104. At the same time, the quantitative feeder 201 is started, and the quantitative feeder discharges the material quantitatively through the quantitative feeder 201 and outputs it through the hose 203. Then, it is discharged through the discharge pipe 204 into the storage cylinder 104 for temporary storage.
[0045] In summary, an automatic feeding device for the production of rotomolded pickles uses a quantitative feeding unit 200 to quantitatively feed materials, and a feeding positioning unit 300 assists the quantitative feeding unit 200 in adding plastic granules into the storage cylinder 104 for temporary storage. Therefore, when it is necessary to add materials to the pickle mold, the entire mold can be moved below the fixed plate 103, and plastic granules can be added to different molds at once, achieving rapid feeding and improving feeding efficiency. Moreover, the quantitative feeder 201 ensures accurate feeding, improves product quality, and reduces the defect rate.
[0046] It should be noted that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
[0047] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
