[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The feeding mechanism 8 includes a rotating block 81. The rotating block 81 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating drum 13 via bearings. Multiple evenly distributed hinge rods 82 are hinged inside the rotating block 81. The other end of the hinge rod 82 is hinged to a hinge seat 83. A connecting rod 84 is fixedly connected to the outside of the hinge seat 83. The connecting rod 84 is slidably connected to the rotating drum 13. A partition 85 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 84. A sealing sleeve 86 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the partition 85. The sealing sleeve 86 is slidably connected to the rotating drum 13. By designing the sealing sleeve 86, the connection between the partition 85 and the rotating drum 13 can be sealed. A rotating seat 87 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating block 81. The rotating seat 87 is rotatably connected to the drum 1. By designing the feeding mechanism 8, materials can be added quantitatively.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5The locking mechanism 9 includes a groove 91. A groove 91 is formed inside the rotating seat 87. A ball 92 is movably fitted inside the groove 91. There are multiple grooves 91, evenly distributed inside the rotating seat 87. By designing multiple grooves 91, the ball 92 can roll into different positions within the grooves 91. A fixed seat 93 is movably fitted outside the ball 92. The fixed seat 93 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 1 and rotatably connected to the rotating seat 87. A slider 94 is slidably fitted inside the fixed seat 93. Connected to the ball bearing 92, a fixed rod 95 is slidably sleeved inside the slider 94. The fixed rod 95 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 93. A spring 96 is provided on the outside of the fixed rod 95. One end of the spring 96 is fixedly connected to the slider 94, and the other end of the spring 96 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 93. By designing the spring 96, the force of the spring 96 can be applied to the slider 94. A pull rod 97 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 94. The pull rod 97 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 93. By designing the locking mechanism 9, the position of the adjusted rear partition 85 can be locked.
[0025] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the raw materials are first added into the inside of the material box 5, and then the drive motor 6 is started. The output end of the drive motor 6 will drive the rotating shaft 7 and the stirring rod 10 to rotate. The stirring rod 10 can stir and mix the materials evenly. Then the materials enter the inside of the rotating drum 13 through the material box 5. When it is necessary to add materials, the rotating motor 12 is started. The output end of the rotating motor 12 will drive the rotating drum 13 to rotate, so that a part of the material is rotated to the bottom of the drum 1. At this time, the material can be discharged through the discharge port 2 for feeding. Since the position of the partition 85 is fixed, the size of the storage space inside the rotating drum 13 is fixed, which can realize the quantitative and accurate feeding of materials.
[0026] When the position of the partition 85 needs to be adjusted, rotate the rotating seat 87. The rotating seat 87 drives the rotating block 81 to rotate, and the rotating block 81 drives the hinge rod 82 to deflect. The hinge rod 82 will pull the hinge seat 83 to move, and the hinge seat 83 will pull the connecting rod 84 to move. The connecting rod 84 will drive the partition 85 and the sealing sleeve 86 to move. At this time, the position of the partition 85 can be adjusted, which makes it convenient and flexible to adjust the quantitative feeding amount and improve the use effect.
[0027] During the rotation of the rotating seat 87, the rotating seat 87 will rotate relative to the ball 92. The arc surface of the groove 91 inside the rotating seat 87 will rotate and squeeze the ball 92. The ball 92 will drive the slider 94 to move horizontally. The slider 94 will slide with the fixed rod 95 and squeeze the spring 96, which can separate the ball 92 from the rotating seat 87. As the rotating seat 87 rotates, the elastic action of the spring 96 will give the slider 94 a reverse thrust, which can push the ball 92 into the groove 91 in another position. At this time, the rotating seat 87 can be limited, and then the rotating block 81 can be limited. When the rotating seat 87 is rotated to adjust the position of the rotating block 81, the position of the partition 85 can be limited and locked to avoid the movement and displacement of the partition 85 during the feeding process, which will affect the feeding accuracy.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
