Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation equipment technology, specifically to a mechanical automation feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, mechanical automation technology has been widely applied to improve production efficiency and product quality. Among these technologies, automated feeding devices are a crucial link in the production process, and their performance directly impacts the overall efficiency of the production line. Efficient feeding devices can reduce downtime, lower labor costs, and ensure a continuous supply of materials, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the production process. Furthermore, the design and selection of feeding devices should consider compatibility with other equipment on the production line and adaptability to different materials to enable flexible production adjustments and rapid changeovers. Therefore, investing in advanced automated feeding technology not only improves production efficiency but also enhances a company's market competitiveness.
[0003] The existing feeding devices have the following drawbacks: traditional feeding methods mostly rely on manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to human error, leading to inaccurate feeding and affecting product quality. At the same time, the speed of manual feeding is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production, which seriously restricts the company's capacity improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a mechanically automated feeding device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mechanical automated feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mechanically automated feeding device, comprising a traveling frame, a feeding assembly, a feeding component, a reaction vessel, and a sealing cover; the feeding assembly is mounted on the top of the traveling frame, and the feeding component is mounted on the feeding assembly. Mounting the feeding assembly on the top of the traveling frame facilitates the horizontal movement of materials, allowing the traveling frame to flexibly move to different positions for feeding operations, thus improving the mobility of the feeding process; while the feeding component, mounted on the feeding assembly, further optimizes the process of materials entering the feeding assembly from the outside, ensuring that materials can enter the feeding assembly accurately and efficiently. In the material handling process, to reduce blockages or spillage during transportation, ensuring smooth material supply, a pusher frame is installed on one side of the walking frame. This pusher frame assists in the movement of the walking frame, enhancing the stability and flexibility of the entire device, and effectively preventing tilting or deviation during movement, ensuring smooth material loading. The bottom of the reaction tank is fixed to the ground by vertical reinforcing rods, which greatly enhance the stability of the reaction tank. Even with significant vibrations or impacts during material handling, the reaction tank remains stable, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire material loading process. The processing provides a solid foundation. A sealing cover is fixed to the top of the reaction vessel with screws. This sealing cover not only ensures the airtightness of the reaction vessel, effectively preventing material leakage or the introduction of external impurities during processing, but also guarantees the purity and safety of the production process. The screw fixing method simplifies the installation and removal of the sealing cover, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance of the reaction vessel's interior and extending the device's service life. A stirring structure is installed on top of the sealing cover. This structure aims to improve the uniformity of material mixing within the reaction vessel. Precise stirring ensures complete reaction, improving product quality and production efficiency. A pressure gauge and control box are installed on the front surface of the reaction vessel, with the pressure gauge located above the control box. The pressure gauge allows for real-time monitoring of pressure changes within the reaction vessel, providing operators with accurate data to adjust process parameters promptly, ensuring stable and safe production. The control box, as the control center of the entire device, integrates multiple control functions. Operators can easily and precisely control the entire feeding and processing process through the control box, greatly improving operational convenience and automation.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding assembly is equipped with a feeding rack, which is fixed to the upper surface of the traveling frame. Pullers are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the lower surface of the feeding rack. The pullers allow the feeding rack to move smoothly and flexibly on the traveling frame, improving the flexibility of the feeding process and ensuring that materials are accurately and efficiently delivered to the designated position in the reaction tank. Simultaneously, the feeding rack ensures stability even with heavy materials during the feeding process, preventing material spillage or equipment damage due to shaking or tilting. The pullers are connected by a transmission belt, and the pullers below the feeding rack are connected to the feeding motor via the transmission belt. Sliding rings are installed on both sides of the upper part of the feeding rack via sliding feeding blocks, and feeding assemblies are sleeved on the sliding rings. The movement of the feeding assembly relies not only on the rolling of pulleys but also on the linkage between the transmission belt and the feeding motor, achieving electric drive. Operators only need to start the feeding motor to drive the pulleys via the transmission belt, thus propelling the feeding frame smoothly along the traveling frame. This improves feeding efficiency and reduces the operator's workload. Simultaneously, the installation of the sliding feeding block and sliding retaining ring ensures the feeding assembly is securely mounted on the feeding frame and moves with it during the feeding process. The feeding assembly is responsible for transporting materials from the storage area to the reaction tank; its stable and efficient operation is crucial for the smooth progress of the entire feeding process. The cooperation between the sliding retaining ring and the sliding feeding block ensures the stability and accuracy of the feeding assembly during the feeding process.
[0007] Preferably, the feeding assembly is equipped with a feeding cylinder, and a feeding pipe is installed on the top of the feeding cylinder. The feeding pipe ensures that the raw materials can enter the feeding cylinder smoothly and stably, providing strong support for subsequent processing. An annular adjusting ring is fitted onto the feeding cylinder. The lower surface of the annular adjusting ring is fixedly connected to a sliding retaining ring through four lifting hydraulic cylinders. The extension and retraction of the lifting hydraulic cylinders can drive the annular adjusting ring and the feeding cylinder to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the feeding port to adapt to raw material containers of different heights. This not only improves the flexibility of the feeding process, but also helps to reduce the splashing and waste of raw materials during the conveying process. The installation of the annular adjusting ring not only enhances the stability of the feeding assembly, but also facilitates the adjustment operation by the operator.
[0008] Preferably, a discharge pipe is installed on the lower surface of the feed cylinder, and a locking ring is installed on the discharge pipe. The use of the locking ring not only improves the sealing performance of the discharge pipe, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly work of the operator. The design of the discharge pipe allows the material to flow smoothly from the feed cylinder into the reaction tank, further ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding process. Moreover, the upper surface of the locking ring is connected to the lower surface of the feed cylinder by two damping extrusion members on both sides. The setting of the damping extrusion members not only ensures the tight connection between the locking ring and the feed cylinder, but also effectively prevents the material from leaking during the discharge process, thereby improving the sealing and safety of the entire feeding device.
[0009] Preferably, a feed cover is installed on one side of the upper surface of the sealing cover. The feed cover provides operators with a convenient material addition port, allowing for quick opening and operation when materials need to be added, thereby improving work efficiency. A pressure relief control valve is installed on the other side of the upper surface of the sealing cover. The pressure relief control valve plays a crucial safety protection role. When the pressure inside the reaction tank is too high, the pressure relief control valve can automatically open to release excess pressure in a timely manner, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by excessive pressure. The pressure relief control valve enhances the safety performance of the entire feeding device and ensures the personal safety of operators. At the same time, as an important component of the entire feeding device, the sealing cover's tight sealing performance effectively prevents material leakage during the addition process, maintaining a clean and hygienic working environment.
[0010] Preferably, the stirring structure is equipped with a stirring motor, which serves as the drive source, providing stable and powerful power to the stirring structure. Its precise control capability allows the stirring speed to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby ensuring uniform mixing of materials during the reaction process. A stirring rod is installed at the output end of the stirring motor, and stirring blades are installed at the bottom of the stirring rod. The installation of the stirring rod not only ensures the effective transmission of power from the stirring motor to the stirring blades, but also guarantees the stability and reliability of the stirring process. The stirring blades are specially designed according to the characteristics of the materials and the stirring requirements. Their shape, quantity, and arrangement have been carefully calculated and optimized to ensure that the materials are fully stirred and mixed in the reaction vessel. The efficient stirring action of the stirring blades further improves the mixing uniformity and reaction efficiency of the materials.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through the coordinated use of the overall structure of the feeding component, ensures the stability and accuracy of the feeding component during the feeding process. The movement of the feeding rack on the feeding component not only relies on the rolling of pulleys but also achieves electric drive through the linkage of the transmission belt and the feeding motor. This not only improves the automation level of the equipment but also significantly enhances production efficiency. Operators only need to start the feeding motor to drive the pulleys to rotate via the transmission belt, thereby driving the feeding rack to move smoothly on the traveling frame. This process not only reduces reliance on manual operation but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of operators, making the entire feeding process safer and more efficient. This drive method brings many advantages to the production line, not only improving production efficiency but also improving the working environment and enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.

The feeding assembly 3 is mounted on the top of the traveling frame 1, and the feeding component 4 is mounted on the feeding assembly 3. Mounting the feeding assembly 3 on the top of the traveling frame 1 facilitates the horizontal movement of materials, allowing the traveling frame 1 to flexibly move to different positions for feeding operations, thus improving the mobility of the feeding process. The feeding component 4, mounted on the feeding assembly 3, further optimizes the process of materials entering the feeding assembly 3 from the outside, ensuring that materials can enter the feeding assembly accurately and efficiently. This process reduces material blockage or spillage during transportation, ensuring smooth material supply. A pusher frame 2 is installed on one side of the walking frame 1 to assist in its movement, enhancing the stability and flexibility of the entire device. It also effectively prevents the walking frame 1 from tilting or shifting during movement, ensuring smooth material feeding. The bottom of the reaction tank 5 is fixed to the ground by vertical reinforcing rods 6. The installation of these vertical reinforcing rods 6 greatly enhances the stability of the reaction tank 5, ensuring its stability even during significant vibrations or impacts during material handling. This provides a solid foundation for the entire feeding and handling process. The process provides a solid foundation. The top of the reaction tank 5 is fixed with a sealing cover 9 by screws. The installation of the sealing cover 9 not only ensures the airtightness of the reaction tank 5, effectively preventing material leakage or the mixing of external impurities during processing, but also ensures the purity and safety of the production process. The screw fixing method makes the installation and removal of the sealing cover 9 easier, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the reaction tank 5, and extending the service life of the device. A stirring structure 10 is installed on the top of the sealing cover 9. The installation of the stirring structure 10 is designed to improve the mixing uniformity of materials in the reaction tank 5 through precise stirring action. To ensure the materials can fully react, improving product quality and production efficiency, a pressure gauge 8 and a control box 7 are installed on the front surface of the reaction tank 5, with the pressure gauge 8 located above the control box 7. The pressure gauge 8 allows for real-time monitoring of pressure changes inside the reaction tank 5, providing operators with accurate data support for timely adjustment of process parameters, ensuring the stability and safety of the production process. The control box 7, as the control center of the entire device, integrates multiple control functions. Operators can easily and precisely control the entire feeding and processing process through the control box 7, greatly improving the convenience and automation of operation.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mechanical automated feeding device proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, further includes: a feeding frame 31 is provided on the feeding assembly 3, and the feeding frame 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the traveling frame 1. Pulleys 34 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the lower surface of the feeding frame 31. The installation of the pulleys 34 allows the feeding frame 31 to move smoothly and flexibly on the traveling frame 1. This not only improves the flexibility of the feeding process but also ensures that the material can be accurately and efficiently delivered to the designated position of the reaction tank 5. At the same time, the feeding frame 31 ensures stability even when facing heavy materials during the feeding process, avoiding material spillage or equipment damage due to shaking or tilting. The pulleys 34 are connected by a transmission belt 35. The pulleys 34 below the feeding frame 31 are connected to the feeding motor 36 via the transmission belt 35. Sliding retaining rings 32 are installed on the upper sides of the feeding frame 31 via sliding feeding blocks 33. A feeding assembly 4 is sleeved on the sliding retaining ring 32. The movement of the feeding rack 31 relies not only on the rolling of the pulley 34, but also on the linkage between the transmission belt 35 and the feeding motor 36, realizing electric drive. The operator only needs to start the feeding motor 36, which will drive the pulley 34 to rotate through the transmission belt 35, thereby driving the feeding rack 31 to move smoothly on the walking frame 1. This improves the feeding efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of the operator. At the same time, the installation of the sliding feeding block 33 and the sliding retaining ring 32 allows the feeding assembly 4 to be stably installed on the feeding rack 31 and move together with the feeding rack 31 during the feeding process. The feeding assembly 4 is responsible for transporting materials from the storage area to the reaction tank 5.

The extension and retraction of the lifting hydraulic cylinders 44 can drive the annular adjusting ring 43 and the feeding cylinder 41 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the feeding port to adapt to raw material containers of different heights. This not only improves the flexibility of the feeding process, but also helps to reduce the splashing and waste of raw materials during the conveying process. The installation of the annular adjusting ring 43 not only enhances the stability of the feeding assembly 4, but also facilitates the adjustment operation by the operator.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, a discharge pipe 47 is installed on the lower surface of the feed cylinder 41, and a locking ring 46 is installed on the discharge pipe 47. The use of the locking ring 46 not only improves the sealing performance of the discharge pipe 47, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly work of the operator. The design of the discharge pipe 47 allows the material to flow smoothly out of the feed cylinder 41 and into the reaction tank 5, further ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding process. Moreover, the upper surface of the locking ring 46 is connected to the lower surface of the feed cylinder 41 by two damping extrusion members 45 on both sides. The setting of the damping extrusion members 45 not only ensures the tight connection between the locking ring 46 and the feed cylinder 41, but also effectively prevents the material from leaking during the discharge process, thereby improving the sealing and safety of the entire feeding device.

The installation of the feed cover 91 provides operators with a convenient material addition port, allowing for quick opening and operation when materials need to be added, thereby improving work efficiency. A pressure relief control valve 92 is installed on the other side of the upper surface of the sealing cover 9. The pressure relief control valve 92 plays a crucial safety protection role.

The pressure relief control valve 92 enhances the safety performance of the entire feeding device and ensures the personal safety of operators. At the same time, as an important component of the entire feeding device, the sealing cover 9's tight sealing performance effectively prevents material leakage during the addition process, maintaining a clean and hygienic working environment.
