[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an automatic solution feeding system for silver powder extraction, including a connecting base 1, a PLC control module 2, multiple sets of solution raw material tanks 3, a first liquid discharge pump 4, an intermediate tank 5, and a peristaltic pump 6. A reaction vessel 7 is located at the lower end of the connecting base 1. The solution raw material tanks 3, the first liquid discharge pump 4, the intermediate tank 5, the peristaltic pump 6, and the reaction vessel 7 are interconnected via liquid conveying pipes. A first pneumatic valve 8 is installed on the liquid conveying pipe between the intermediate tank 5 and the peristaltic pump 6. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is connected to the reaction vessel 7. The stirring assembly 9 and the connecting seat 1 are equipped with multiple sets of auxiliary raw material tanks 10, a second liquid discharge pump 11, and an auxiliary agent tank 12 from top to bottom on the outer wall. The auxiliary raw material tanks 10, the second liquid discharge pump 11, the auxiliary agent tank 12 and the reaction vessel 7 are interconnected by liquid conveying pipes. A second pneumatic valve 13 is provided on the liquid conveying pipe between the second liquid discharge pump 11 and the auxiliary agent tank 12. An angle seat valve 14 is provided on the liquid conveying pipe between the auxiliary agent tank 12 and the reaction vessel 7. Weighing components 15 are provided inside the intermediate tank 5 and the auxiliary agent tank 12.
[0029] The weighing assembly 15 comprises a sliding rod 152 fixed on the inner wall of the intermediate tank 5 and the additive tank 12, a sliding sleeve 153 movably sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 152, a weight sensor 154 fixed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 153 at the lower end of the intermediate tank 5 and the additive tank 12, and a weighing cylinder 151 arranged on the sliding sleeve 153, wherein a liquid passage valve 155 is arranged at the liquid outlet end of the lower end of the weighing cylinder 151.
[0030] The first liquid outlet pump 4, the peristaltic pump 6, the first pneumatic valve 8, the second liquid outlet pump 11, the second pneumatic valve 13, the angle seat valve 14 and the weight sensor 154 are electrically connected with the PLC control module 2.
[0031] The solution entering the intermediate tank 5 and the second pneumatic valve 13 will fall into the weighing cylinder 151, the weight of the weighing cylinder 151 gradually increases, the sliding sleeve 153 has a downward sliding trend along the sliding rod 152 and has a force acting on the weight sensor 154, and the value of the gravity transmitted by the weight sensor 154 is used to determine whether the weight of the solution in the weighing cylinder 151 meets the requirements, and when the weight of the solution meets the requirements, the program will open the liquid passage valve 155, and the solution in the weighing cylinder 151 will enter the reaction kettle 7.
[0032] The first step: after the program is started, the first liquid outlet pump 4 of the solution raw material barrel 3 is started, and the intermediate tank 5 and the additive tank 12 start weighing determination at the same time, the second step: when the weighing determination of the intermediate tank 5 and the additive tank 12 meets the conditions, the program automatically stops the first liquid outlet pump 4 of the solution raw material barrel 3, the third step: then the first pneumatic valve 8 at the lower end of the intermediate tank 5 and the peristaltic pump 6 are opened, the solution flows downward by its own gravity, and the characteristics of the peristaltic pump 6 can ensure that each solution can enter the reaction kettle 7 at a constant speed, the fourth step: through the weighing determination of the intermediate tank 5, when the weight of the solution entering the reaction kettle 7 meets the requirements, the program automatically closes the first pneumatic valve 8 below the intermediate tank 5 and the peristaltic pump 6, the fifth step: when the program of the fourth step is completed, the program opens the angle seat valve 14 below the additive tank 12, and the additive flows downward by its own gravity, and when the weighing of the additive tank 12 shows “0”, the angle seat valve 14 below the additive tank 12 is closed. Compared with the existing manual method, the structure is simple and the cost can be greatly reduced. The control is carried out by the PLC program control, and a closed loop control is formed with the pneumatic valve and the weighing assembly 15 to realize the quantitative extraction of the target additive. The control method can realize the accurate extraction of the solution, avoid the phenomenon of too much or too little extraction, and further improve the extraction accuracy of the additive, thereby greatly reducing the labor cost and the risk of batch rejection caused by too much or too little manual feeding.
[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the reaction kettle 7 is connected with a stirring assembly 9, which comprises a connecting frame 901 fixed to the upper end of the reaction kettle 7, and a motor 902 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting frame 901. The output end of the motor 902 is provided with a first bevel gear 903, and the upper end and lower end of the first bevel gear 903 are respectively provided with a second bevel gear 904 and a third bevel gear 905. The first bevel gear 903 and the second bevel gear 904 and the third bevel gear 905 are in meshing with each other. The lower end of the second bevel gear 904 is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft 906, and the lower end of the third bevel gear 905 is fixedly provided with a sleeve frame 907. The rotating shaft 906 is movably arranged through the third bevel gear 905 and the sleeve frame 907 from top to bottom. The outer wall of the lower end of the rotating shaft 906 is provided with a stirring paddle 910. The lower end of the sleeve frame 907 is rotatably provided with a plurality of gears 908. The inner wall of the upper end of the reaction kettle 7 is fixedly provided with a gear ring 909. The gears 908 and the gear ring 909 are in meshing with each other. The lower end of each group of gears 908 is provided with a group of stirring paddles 910. The plurality of groups of stirring paddles 910 are symmetrically distributed. In this way, the stirring uniformity of the liquid phase reaction material in the reaction kettle can be improved. Further, a plurality of through holes are arranged on the stirring paddles 910, which penetrate the stirring paddles along the thickness direction, so that the mass transfer efficiency of the liquid phase reaction material can be improved, and the reaction rate and uniformity can be improved.
[0034] When the solution and the auxiliary agent enter the reaction kettle 7 for reaction, the motor 902 is started to drive the first bevel gear 903 to rotate, which drives the second bevel gear 904 and the third bevel gear 905 to rotate. The second bevel gear 904 drives the rotating shaft 906 to rotate, which drives the stirring paddles 910 below the sleeve frame 907 to rotate, so as to stir the solution and the auxiliary agent at the center of the reaction kettle 7. In the process of rotating the third bevel gear 905, the third bevel gear 905 drives the sleeve frame 907 to rotate, which drives the gears 908 to rotate around the center of the third bevel gear 905. The gears 908 make circular motion along the gear ring 909, so that the gear ring 909 drives the gears 908 to rotate. The gears 908 below drive the stirring paddles 910 to rotate around the center of the third bevel gear 905, and at the same time, the gears 908 drive the stirring paddles 910 to rotate around their own axes. The rotating directions of the sleeve frame 907 and the rotating shaft 906 are opposite, so as to cooperate with the stirring paddles 910 to fully stir the solution in the reaction kettle 7, accelerate the reaction rate, make the solution and the auxiliary agent react more fully, and make the prepared silver powder have a narrower particle size distribution, a more uniform morphology and a higher quality.
