[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0017] See as Figure 1 —— Figure 4As shown, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: It includes a frame 1, weighing sensors 2, a vacuum hopper 3, a suction port 4, a vacuum cover 5, an air intake port 6, a filter element 7, an air tank 8, a pulse valve 9, a discharge nozzle 10, a pneumatic butterfly valve 11, a flow-assisted jet pipe 12, and a striking hammer 13; three weighing sensors 2 are evenly installed around the bottom perimeter of the vacuum hopper 3, and the weighing sensors 2 are fixed on the frame 1, using a three-point weighing method to ensure stability; a suction port 4 is provided on the side wall of the vacuum hopper 3, and the suction port 4 is inserted into the material through a material pipe; a vacuum cover 5 is fixed to the upper end of the vacuum hopper 3, and the upper part of the vacuum cover 5 is connected to... The suction port 6 is connected to the vacuum pump. At least eight staggered filter elements 7 are installed on the hanging plate 15 inside the vacuum cover 5. The filter elements 7 pass through the hanging plate 15. When the vacuum pump is working, the negative pressure generated by the filter elements 7 filters out the material and prevents the vacuum pump from being blocked. An air bag 8 is installed on the outside of the vacuum cover 5. The air bag 8 is connected to the inside of the vacuum cover 5 through a pipe 16 with a pulse valve 9. The pipe 16 has air holes 17 corresponding to the position of each filter element 7. When the vacuum pump is working, the air bag 8 is connected to a high-pressure air source. The pulse valve 9 works at certain intervals to blow away the material powder attached to the filter element 7, effectively ensuring the working efficiency of the vacuum pump.

[0018] The discharge nozzle 10 at the bottom of the vacuum hopper 3 is equipped with a pneumatic butterfly valve 11. By opening the pneumatic butterfly valve 11, material is discharged. On the outer periphery of the vacuum hopper 3, above the discharge nozzle 10, a flow-aiding jet pipe 12 is installed. The flow-aiding jet pipe 12 is equipped with several jet nozzles 14 facing into the vacuum hopper 3, which supply external air to the flow-aiding jet pipe 12. Gas is sprayed onto the material at the bottom of the vacuum hopper 3 through the jet nozzles 14 to loosen the material and facilitate better discharge. On the side wall of the vacuum hopper 3, above the flow-aiding jet pipe 12, a striking air hammer 13 is installed. The striking air hammer 13 is used to strike the side wall of the vacuum hopper 3 to prevent material bridging and obstruction of discharge.

[0019] When this invention is in operation, the vacuum pump is turned on, generating negative pressure to draw the material into the vacuum hopper 3. The weighing sensor 2 begins to measure, and at the same time, the dynamic compensation module of the weighing sensor 2 uses an algorithm to eliminate the interference of negative pressure fluctuations on weighing. When the rated weight is reached, the vacuum pump stops working, the pneumatic butterfly valve 11 opens, and the material begins to be discharged. At the same time, the blowing nozzle 14 and the striking hammer 13 work to help the material be discharged better and prevent bridging. When the weighing sensor 2 reaches the set minimum value, the pneumatic butterfly valve 11 closes, the vacuum pump starts working, and the material is replenished.

[0020] Important components such as the weighing sensor 2, pulse valve 9, pneumatic butterfly valve 11, and striking hammer 13 are all externally mounted, which facilitates maintenance.

[0021] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
