Multiple material pumps 22 are installed on one side of the inner wall of the material silo 9. Materials from different material buckets 16 are transported to weighing buckets 5 for weighing via the material pump inlet pipe 14 with a check valve and the material pump outlet pipe 6. The weighing bucket 5 is mounted on an electronic scale 2 via a bracket 4. The electronic scale 2, in conjunction with a sensor, can measure the weight of the materials in real time.

Electronic scale 2 weighs the weighing tank 5, the fixed bracket 4 and the material. The weighing data of electronic scale 2 is connected to operation panel 7 through sensor. When the set weight is reached, the controller controls the material pump 22 to be turned off. In order to prevent the material pump inlet pipe 14 from being sucked up by the material tank 16 wall when the material pump 22 is drawing material, a check valve is installed at the material end of the material pump inlet pipe 14. After the material is weighed, turn on the conveying component 3 on operation panel 7. The conveying component 3 is linked with the solenoid valve 19 at the outlet of the weighing tank 5. The material enters the reaction vessel through the solenoid valve 19, the conveying pump inlet pipe 20, the conveying component 3 and the conveying pump outlet pipe 21.

[0047] Compared with related technologies, the skid-type automatic weighing and dispensing device for laboratories provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0048] To increase the applicability and safety of the automatic weighing and dispensing device for laboratory use, the material bins 16 are first fixed inside the material bin 9 by a baffle 17 to prevent them from tipping over during movement. Multiple material pumps 22 are installed on one side of the inner wall of the material bin 9. The materials in different material bins 16 can be transported to the weighing bin 5 for weighing through the material pump inlet pipe 14 with a check valve and the material pump outlet pipe 6. The weighing bin 5 is mounted on the electronic scale 2 by a bracket 4. The electronic scale 2, in conjunction with a sensor, can measure the weight of the materials in real time. This design solves the problems existing in the prior art. Personnel do not directly contact the materials.
