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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 A mechanical structure for fine-tuning filling volume includes a fine-tuning component; a valve core 6 is installed inside the filling tube 8, and the upper end of the valve core 6 passes through the filling tube 8 and is connected to the output end of the cylinder 1 through a connecting rod 5; the fine-tuning component is connected to the outer shell of the cylinder 1; wherein, the output end of the cylinder 1 extends and retracts up and down, driving the valve core 6 to move to realize the opening and closing of the filling volume; the fine-tuning component drives the cylinder 1 to move up and down, thereby driving the valve core 6 to move to realize the fine adjustment of the opening and closing of the filling volume.
[0024] Specifically, the fine-tuning assembly includes a turbine 4 and a worm gear 2; the turbine 4 and worm gear 2 are meshed together, and the inner wall of the turbine 4 is connected to a lead screw nut 11, which is connected to the lead screw nut 11 via a single key. The inner thread of the lead screw nut 11 is connected to an external threaded sleeve 12, and the upper end of the external threaded sleeve 12 is connected to the outer shell of the cylinder 1. The connecting rod 5 is located inside the external threaded sleeve 12.
[0025] Specifically, it also includes a stepper motor 7, the end face of which is connected to a worm gear bracket 13. The output end of the stepper motor 7 passes through the worm gear bracket 13 and connects to one end of the worm gear 2. The other end of the worm gear 2 is rotatably connected to the worm gear mounting base 14. It also includes a limiting pin 15. A long slot is opened on the worm gear bracket 13. One end of the limiting pin 15 is connected to the housing of the cylinder 1, and the other end is slidably connected in the long slot.
[0026] Specifically, the upper end of the filling pipe 8 is connected to the material inlet 16.
[0027] Specifically, the upper end of the filling tube 8 is connected to the mounting bracket 10, the upper end of the mounting bracket 10 is connected to the mounting plate 17, the worm gear bracket 13 is connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 17, the worm gear mounting seat 14 is connected to one side of the upper end face of the mounting plate 17, and the turbine 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end face of the mounting plate 17.
[0028] Specifically, when cylinder 1 retracts, it lifts connecting rod 5 and valve core 6 upwards, with the valve core opening at 0 degrees; when cylinder 1 extends, it moves connecting rod 5 and valve core 6 downwards, with the valve core 6 opening at a certain gap, allowing material to flow out from the gap.
[0029] During fine-tuning, the stepper motor 7 rotates, driving the worm gear 2 to rotate. The worm gear 2 rotates, driving the turbine 4 to rotate. The turbine 4 rotates, driving the lead screw nut 11 to rotate. The lead screw nut 11 rotates, causing the external threaded sleeve 12 to rise axially within the lead screw nut 11.
