[0007] Furthermore, the support components include a lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket and an upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket. The lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket is mounted on the movable plate, and the upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket is fixed to the lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket with bolts. The lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket and the upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket are installed to form a secondary rectangular bracket. The feed pipe connector female end is fixedly and through the middle of the secondary rectangular bracket, and the feed pipe connector female end is connected to the feed pipe through a quick-connect clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, the calibration and positioning assembly includes a self-aligning pneumatic gripper mounted on a bracket, the self-aligning pneumatic gripper having symmetrical self-aligning handles.

[0009] Furthermore, a pneumatic rotary clamping assembly is installed in the middle of the chain conveyor, and non-powered roller conveyor groups are installed on both sides of the front end of the chain conveyor. The non-powered roller conveyor groups include a U-shaped setting frame, and a limit roller is rotatably set inside the setting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the palletized mobile tank is mounted on a transportable pallet base, which is located on a chain conveyor and is limited by a non-powered roller conveyor group.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge pipe and the male end of the discharge pipe connector are connected by a quick-connect clamp, and a secondary support component supporting the male end of the discharge pipe connector is provided at the top of the tray base.

[0012] Furthermore, the secondary support component includes a lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket fixed to the top of the pallet base. An upper discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket is fixed to the lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket by bolts. The lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket and the upper discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket are installed to form a rectangular bracket. The discharge pipe connector male end passes through and is suspended in the middle of the rectangular bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, a cleaning device is installed on one side of the chain conveyor. The cleaning device is a cleaning pipe with a nozzle installed on one side of the chain conveyor. The cleaning pipe is connected to an external water supply device in conjunction with a water pump.

[0014] Furthermore, the weighing module is a weighing device, and the pneumatic rotary clamping assembly includes a mounting base installed in the middle of the chain conveyor. A rotating rod is fixedly installed inside the mounting base, and a tilting frame is rotatably installed on the rotating rod. A secondary push cylinder is fixedly installed on the mounting base, and the output end of the secondary push cylinder is connected to a U-shaped movable seat.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The pallet-type mobile tank is placed on a chain conveyor. The operation of the conveyor drives the pallet-type mobile tank forward. The front end of the chain conveyor is equipped with a horizontal blocking limit plate to limit the movement of the pallet-type mobile tank. After the pallet-type mobile tank has moved, it is automatically positioned so that when it moves to the horizontal blocking limit plate, the required moving position of the pallet-type mobile tank can be accurately determined.

[0017] After the pallet-type mobile tank is positioned, the alignment and positioning components clamp the male end of the discharge pipe connector. At this time, the male end of the discharge pipe connector is in a clamped and suspended state, ensuring that the clamped male end of the discharge pipe connector is accurately aligned with the female end of the inlet pipe connector after alignment, thus completing the alignment and centering of the male end of the discharge pipe connector and the alignment of the female end of the inlet pipe connector.

[0018] After alignment, the linear motion module's push cylinder pushes the moving plate toward the male end of the discharge pipe connector. The female end of the inlet pipe connector is fixed on the moving plate by a support component, causing the female end of the inlet pipe connector to move toward the male end of the discharge pipe connector. Finally, the female end of the inlet pipe connector and the male end of the discharge pipe connector automatically dock.

[0019] Liquid raw materials inside the pallet-type mobile tank are transported into the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is connected to the male end of the discharge pipe connector, which in turn connects to the female end of the inlet pipe connector. The female end of the inlet pipe connector connects to the inlet pipe. Therefore, after the liquid raw material transfer is completed, the male and female ends of the subsequent pipe connectors automatically disconnect, thus replacing manual pipe connection, reducing the risk of production errors and contamination, and improving efficiency and the automation level of the production line.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mobile tank feeding device, including a chain conveyor 1, on which a pallet-type mobile tank 2 is transported. A side extension support 7 is provided on one side of the chain conveyor 1, and a linear motion module 6 is also provided on the side extension support 7. A female inlet pipe connector 5 is connected to the linear motion module 6. A discharge pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the pallet-type mobile tank 2, and a male discharge pipe connector 13 is installed on the discharge pipe 14. The female inlet pipe connector 5 and the male discharge pipe connector 13 correspond to each other. The front end of the conveyor 1 is equipped with a horizontal blocking limit plate 11. The linear motion module 6 is a pneumatic push cylinder. The push cylinder is mounted on the side extension bracket 7. The output end of the push cylinder is connected to a moving plate. A support component is mounted on the moving plate. The female end 5 of the feed pipe connector is set on the support component. One end of the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector is connected to the feed pipe 23. A bracket 18 is mounted on the side extension bracket 7. A correction and positioning component corresponding to the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector is set on the bracket 18. A weighing module 8 is installed at the bottom of the chain conveyor 1.

[0031] See Figure 1-2The support assembly includes a lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 and an upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 21. The lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 is mounted on a movable plate, and the upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 21 is fixed to the lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 with bolts. The lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 and the upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 21 are assembled to form a secondary rectangular bracket. The feed pipe connector female end 5 is fixedly and through the middle of the secondary rectangular bracket. The feed pipe connector female end 5 is connected to the feed pipe 23 through a quick-connect clamp 22. First, the lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the movable plate. Then, the feed pipe connector female end 5 is clamped in the lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20. Then, the upper feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 21 is fixed to the lower feed pipe connector female end mounting bracket 20 with bolts. Thus, the clamping of the feed pipe connector female end 5 is completed, and then the feed pipe 23 is installed.

[0032] See Figure 1-6The alignment and positioning assembly includes a self-aligning pneumatic gripper 4 mounted on a bracket 18, with symmetrical self-aligning grippers 19 on the gripper 4. A pneumatic rotary clamping assembly 9 is installed in the middle of the chain conveyor 1. Unpowered roller conveyor groups 10 are installed on both sides of the front end of the chain conveyor 1. The unpowered roller conveyor group 10 includes a U-shaped mounting frame 24, with limit rollers 25 rotatably mounted inside the mounting frame. The pallet-type mobile tank 2 is mounted on a transport-type pallet base 12, which is located on the chain conveyor 1 and limited by the unpowered roller conveyor group 10. The discharge pipe 14 is connected to the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector via a quick-connect clamp 15. A secondary support for supporting the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector is provided at the top of the pallet base 12. The supporting component includes a lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 17 fixed to the top of the tray base 12. An upper discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 16 is bolted to the lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 17. The lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 17 and the upper discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 16 are installed to form a rectangular bracket. The discharge pipe connector male end 13 passes through and floats in the middle of the rectangular bracket. The discharge pipe connector male end 13 passes through the middle space after the lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 17 and the upper discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket 16 are installed, and is in a floating state. It is not that the discharge pipe connector male end 13 passes through the lower discharge pipe connector male end mounting bracket. 17 and the male end of the upper discharge pipe connector are clamped together by the mounting bracket 16. The front two sides of the conveyor are equipped with non-powered roller conveyors, which limit the movement of the tank on both sides via the limiting rollers 25. The front end of the chain conveyor 1 is equipped with a horizontal blocking limiting plate 11 to limit the pallet-type moving tank 2. After the pallet-type moving tank 2 has moved, it is automatically positioned so that when it moves to the horizontal blocking limiting plate, the required moving position of the pallet-type moving tank 2 can be accurately determined. After the tank moves, the pneumatic rotary clamping assembly 9 in the middle of the conveyor clamps the rear end of the moving tank, limiting it in four directions to ensure accurate positioning of the moving tank. The self-aligning gripper 19 on the self-aligning pneumatic gripper 4 clamps the male end of the discharge pipe connector 13 in the suspended state, ensuring the clamped discharge pipe... After calibration, the male end 13 of the connector is precisely aligned with the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector, and the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector is located in the middle of the lower male end mounting bracket 17 and the upper male end mounting bracket 16 of the discharge pipe connector. It is suspended in the inner middle of the auxiliary support component. When the male and female ends are not connected later, the auxiliary support component is designed to support the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector, complete the calibration and alignment of the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector and the corresponding work of the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector. After calibration and alignment, the push cylinder of the linear motion module 6 pushes the moving plate to move towards the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector, and the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector and the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector are connected to complete the subsequent work.

[0033] See Figure 1A cleaning device 3 is installed on one side of the chain conveyor 1. The cleaning device 3 is a cleaning pipe with a nozzle installed on one side of the chain conveyor 1. The cleaning pipe is connected to an external water supply device in conjunction with a water pump. The male and female ends of the subsequent pipe joints automatically disconnect. The push cylinder of the linear motion module 6 moves linearly to the cleaning device and automatically reconnects for rinsing with clean water.

[0034] See Figure 7 The weighing module is a weighing device. The pneumatic rotary clamping assembly 9 includes a mounting base 26 installed in the middle of the chain conveyor 1. A rotating rod 27 is fixedly installed in the mounting base 26. A tilting frame 28 is rotatably mounted on the rotating rod 27. A secondary push cylinder 29 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 26. The output end of the secondary push cylinder 29 is connected to a U-shaped movable seat 30. A push rod 31 is fixedly installed in the movable seat 30. A tilting groove 32 is opened on the tilting frame 28. The push rod 31 passes through the tilting groove 32. The tilting frame 28 rotates on the rotating rod 27, which activates the secondary push cylinder 29 and drives the U-shaped movable seat 30 to move. The push rod 31 fixed on the movable seat 30 moves in the tilting groove 32, ultimately driving the tilting frame 28 to tilt with the rotating rod 27 as the tilting point. The tilting frame 28 tilts, and the pneumatic rotary clamping assembly in the middle of the conveyor clamps the rear end of the movable tank to achieve a positioning function.

[0035] In actual operation, the pallet-type mobile tank 2 is placed on the chain conveyor 1 via an AGV or other front-end equipment. The conveyor drives the pallet-type mobile tank 2 forward. The front end of the chain conveyor 1 is equipped with a horizontal blocking limit plate 11 to limit the movement of the pallet-type mobile tank 2. After the pallet-type mobile tank 2 has moved, it is automatically positioned so that when it moves to the horizontal blocking limit plate, the required moving position of the pallet-type mobile tank 2 can be accurately determined. After the pallet-type mobile tank 2 is positioned, the alignment and positioning component clamps the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector. At this time, the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector is in a clamped and suspended state, ensuring that the clamped male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector is accurately aligned with the female end 5 of the inlet pipe connector after alignment. This completes the alignment and centering of the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector and the alignment of the female end 5 of the inlet pipe connector. After alignment and centering, the push cylinder of the linear motion module 6 pushes the moving plate toward the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector. The moving plate is fixed with a support component to the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector, which moves towards the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector. Finally, the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector and the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector automatically dock. The liquid raw material inside the pallet-type moving tank 2 is transported into the discharge pipe 14, which is connected to the male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector. The male end 13 of the discharge pipe connector docks with the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector, and the female end 5 of the feed pipe connector is connected to the feed pipe 23. Therefore, after the liquid raw material is transported, the weighing function of the equipment is realized by the set weighing module 8. Subsequently, the male and female ends of the pipe connectors automatically disconnect, realizing the replacement of manual pipe docking, reducing the risk of production errors and pollution, and improving efficiency and the automation level of the production line. The weighing module is a weighing device, which is an existing weighing device and will not be described in detail here. The push cylinder and the auxiliary push cylinder are both existing cylinders.

[0036] Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
