A screw conveyor 42 is provided inside the conveying pipe 4, and a drive unit 41 is provided at the end of the conveying pipe 4. The screw conveyor 42 is connected to the drive unit 41, and the other end of the conveying pipe 4 is connected to the first inlet of a mixing tank 6. The bottom of the third raw material tank 5 is provided with a third discharge port 51, and a third discharge pipe 52 is provided on the third discharge port 51. The third discharge pipe 52 is connected to the second inlet of the mixing tank 6.
[0026] Specifically, the first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5 have the same structure and are set in different positions. The first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5 can be installed side by side on the mounting frame 1, or they can be set as needed. For example, the second raw material tank 3 can be set below the first raw material tank 2. The first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5 are used to store different raw materials. The first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3 are used to store raw materials that need to be pre-mixed, that is, they need to be pre-mixed before being transported to the mixing tank 6. There is one first raw material tank 2. The second raw material tank 3 can be set as needed, and there can be one, two, three, or more. The third raw material tank 5 is used to store raw materials that do not need to be pre-mixed. The top of the first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5 is provided with a feeding structure that can transport raw materials into the first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first raw material tank 2 is provided with a first discharge port 21, through which the raw materials in the first raw material tank 2 can be discharged. A first discharge pipe 22 is provided on the first discharge port 21, and the first discharge pipe 22 is installed in a vertical direction. The bottom of the second raw material tank 3 is provided with a second discharge port 31, through which the raw materials in the second raw material tank 3 can be discharged. A second discharge pipe 32 is connected to the second discharge port 31, and the bottom of the second discharge pipe 32 is connected to the first discharge pipe 22. Thus, the first discharge port 21 and the second discharge pipe 22 are connected in a vertical direction. The raw materials output from the second outlet 31 can be jointly conveyed to the bottom of the first outlet pipe 22, and then jointly conveyed into the conveying pipe 4. The conveying pipe 4 has a large diameter and is made of wear-resistant alloy steel. The conveying pipe 4 is located directly below the first outlet pipe 22. The conveying pipe 4 can be set horizontally or inclined. A screw conveyor 42 is installed inside the conveying pipe 4. The conveying pipe 4 is used to convey and mix raw materials. The screw conveyor 42 consists of screw blades and a central shaft. The screw blades are tightly wound on the central shaft. A drive unit 41 is provided at the end of the conveying pipe 4. The drive unit 41 can drive the screw conveyor so that the central shaft and screw blades can rotate inside the conveying pipe 4.
[0028] Under the influence of gravity, the solid raw materials in the first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3 enter the conveying pipe 4 through the first discharge pipe 22 and the second discharge pipe 32, respectively. Then, the drive unit 41 starts and drives the screw conveyor 42 to rotate. The rotation of the screw conveyor 42 pushes the raw materials forward along the conveying pipe 4. During the pushing process, the raw materials in the first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3 are gradually mixed. Due to the uniform pushing of the screw conveyor 42, the raw materials can be delivered to the first feed port of the mixing tank 6 at a stable flow rate.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the third raw material tank 5 is provided with a third discharge port 51, and the third discharge port 51 is provided with a third discharge pipe 52. The top of the mixing tank 6 is provided with a first feed port and a second feed port. The first feed port is connected to the other end of the conveying pipe 4, and the second feed port is connected to the third discharge pipe 52. The number of third raw material tanks 5 can be one, two or more. The mixing tank 6 is provided with a stirring device, which can fully stir the raw materials entering the mixing tank 6 to ensure uniform mixing. The third discharge pipe 52 is connected to the second feed port of the mixing tank 6.
[0030] The automatic feeding device for solid raw materials provided by this utility model includes a mounting frame 1, a first raw material tank 2, a second raw material tank 3, and a third raw material tank 5. The bottom of the first raw material tank 2 is connected to a first discharge pipe 22, and the bottom of the second raw material tank 3 is connected to a second discharge pipe 32. The second discharge pipe 32 communicates with the bottom of the first discharge pipe 22, and the bottom of the first discharge pipe 22 is connected to a conveying pipe 4. A screw conveyor 42 is installed inside the conveying pipe 4. The third discharge pipe 52 at the bottom of the third raw material tank 5 is connected to the second inlet of a mixing tank 6. Thus, in use, the raw materials requiring preliminary mixing are placed into the tank separately... The solid raw materials in the first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3 are placed in the first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3. Under the action of gravity, the solid raw materials in the first raw material tank 2 and the second raw material tank 3 enter the conveying pipe 4 through the first discharge pipe 22 and the second discharge pipe 32, respectively. The rotation of the screw conveyor 42 pushes the raw materials forward along the conveying pipe 4. During the pushing process, the raw materials are gradually mixed to form a mixture. The mixture is conveyed from the first inlet to the mixing tank 6. At the same time, the solid raw materials in the third raw material tank 5 are conveyed to the mixing tank 6 through the third discharge pipe 52 and the second inlet. The raw materials entering the mixing tank 6 are fully stirred and mixed under the action of the stirring device.
[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, control valves are provided on the first discharge port 21, the second discharge port 31, and the third discharge port 51. These control valves open or close the first discharge port 21, the second discharge port 31, and the third discharge port 51. Material metering devices are provided on the first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5. These material metering devices can be weighing sensors, installed at the connection between the bottom of the first raw material tank 2, the second raw material tank 3, and the third raw material tank 5 and the mounting frame 1. Each weighing sensor is equipped with a signal amplifier and an analog-to-digital converter, capable of converting the weight signal of the raw material tank and its internal materials into a digital signal in real time and transmitting it to the control system. When the material in the raw material tank decreases, the weighing sensor detects the weight change and feeds the data back to the control system. The control system then adjusts the subsequent feeding operation in a timely manner according to the preset feeding amount and ratio.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the first discharge pipe 22 includes a connecting section and a mixing section. The connecting section is connected to the first discharge port 21, and the second discharge pipe 32 is connected to the mixing section. The connecting section is vertical and has a cylindrical pipe structure. Its pipe diameter is completely matched with the first discharge port 21. The pipe diameter of the mixing section is larger than that of the connecting section, providing more space for the feeding and initial mixing of the two raw materials.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the material conveying pipe 4 is inclined and includes an inlet end 43 and an outlet end 44. The upper side wall of the inlet end 43 is connected to the first outlet pipe 22. The drive unit 41 is disposed at the end of the inlet end 43. The outlet end 44 is integrally provided with an output pipe 45. The output pipe 45 is installed vertically on the first inlet. The screw conveyor 42 extends into the interior of the output pipe 45.
[0034] The upper side wall of the feed end 43 is provided with a connection port that matches the first discharge pipe 22. A drive unit 41 is installed at the end of the feed end 43. The drive unit 41 adopts a high-precision servo motor. The output pipe 45 is a cylindrical structure that extends vertically. The screw conveyor 42 extends from the inside of the conveying pipe 4 to the inside of the output pipe 45, ensuring that the raw material can be pushed from the conveying pipe 4 to the output pipe 45.
[0035] When the device is started, two or more raw materials input through the first discharge pipe 22 enter the conveying pipe 4 through the connection port on the upper side wall of the feed end 43. The drive unit 41 drives the central shaft of the screw conveyor 42 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw blades continuously stirs the raw materials, so that the different kinds of raw materials are further mixed evenly during the conveying process. As the screw conveyor 42 continues to operate, the evenly mixed raw materials are conveyed to the output pipe 45 of the discharge end 44, and finally enter the first feed port of the mixing tank 6 through the output pipe 45, completing the mixing and conveying process in the conveying pipe 4.
[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, an output cavity is formed inside the output pipe 45. The output cavity includes an upper chamber 46 and a lower chamber 47. The upper chamber 46 and the lower chamber 47 are separated by an openable control plate 48. A discharge plate is provided at the bottom of the lower chamber 47, and a metering device is provided on the discharge plate. The metering device in the lower chamber 47 can measure the mixed raw materials, thereby realizing the quantitative addition of raw materials.
[0037] In the initial state of use, the unloading plate closes the bottom outlet of the lower chamber 47, and the control plate 48 is in the open state. The lower chamber 47 is connected to the upper chamber 46. The mixed raw materials are transported into the lower chamber 47, and the unloading plate measures and weighs the mixed raw materials. When the mixed raw materials in the lower chamber 47 reach the preset weight, the control plate 48 closes, and the mixed raw materials are then transported into the upper chamber 46. At the same time, the unloading plate opens the bottom outlet of the lower chamber 47, allowing the mixed raw materials to be transported into the mixing tank 6. After the mixed raw materials in the lower chamber 47 are completely transported, the unloading plate closes the bottom outlet of the lower chamber 47 again, and the control plate 48 is in the open state. The lower chamber 47 is connected to the upper chamber 46, and the mixed raw materials continue to be transported into the lower chamber 47. When the mixed raw materials in the lower chamber 47 reach the preset weight, the control plate 48 closes. This cycle repeats, achieving quantitative addition of the mixed material to the mixing tank 6 and realizing the quantitative and uniform addition of solid raw materials in multiple batches.
[0038] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
