Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0029] Example

[0030] Please see Figure 1-8In this embodiment of the present invention, a quantitative feeding device for gel processing includes a storage tank 100, a mounting ring 200, a feeding cylinder 300, and a quantitative unit 400. The storage tank 100 is used to store the gel raw material to be processed. Its top and bottom surfaces are respectively provided with an inlet 110 and a discharge outlet 120. The bottom of the storage tank 100 is shaped like a bucket to facilitate the natural falling of the raw material. Four support legs 130 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 100. The four support legs 130 are symmetrical to each other, and the device can be installed on the gel processing unit via the support legs 130. Above the equipment, the mounting ring 200 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 100. The bottom of the mounting ring 200 has an opening, and the top of the mounting ring 200 has a receiving port 210 corresponding to the material discharge port 120. A fixing frame 220 is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the mounting ring 200 via two fixing brackets 230. A servo motor 240 is installed inside the fixing frame 220. The feeding cylinder 300 is rotatably positioned inside the mounting ring 200, with its arc-shaped outer wall abutting against the arc-shaped inner wall of the mounting ring 200. Both the top and bottom of the feeding cylinder 300 are... The feeding cylinder 300 has two symmetrically positioned discharge ports 310. A central shaft 320 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 300, and the central shaft 320 is located at the center of the feeding cylinder 300. A connecting shaft 330 is fixedly connected to the front wall of the feeding cylinder 300. The motor shaft of the servo motor 240 is drivenly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 330. Two metering units 400 are provided. Each metering unit 400 includes a sleeve 410, which is rotatably sleeved with the outer wall of the central shaft 320. The outer walls of the sleeves 410 are symmetrically fixedly connected. The device is equipped with a first baffle 420 and a second baffle 430. The ends of the two sleeves 410 are in contact with each other. The first baffle 420 and the second baffle 430 are the same size. The length of the sleeve 410 is half that of the first baffle 420. The ends of the two sleeves 410 that are far apart are in contact with the two inner side walls of the feeding cylinder 300, respectively. The ends of the first baffle 420 and the second baffle 430 are in contact with the inner arc surface of the feeding cylinder 300. The included angle opening direction formed by the two first baffles 420 and the included angle opening direction formed by the two second baffles 430 are respectively corresponding to the two discharge ports 310.

[0031] Specifically, the gel raw material is temporarily stored in the storage tank 100 through the inlet 110. When no feeding is needed, the feeding cylinder 300 rotates until the outlet 310 is not aligned with the receiving port 210. At this time, the outer arc surface of the feeding cylinder 300 blocks the receiving port 210 and the discharge port 120, and the gel raw material in the storage tank 100 will not fall. When feeding is required, the servo motor 240 drives the feeding cylinder 300 to rotate until the outlet 310 is aligned with the receiving port 210 and the discharge port 120. At this time, the stored material... The raw materials in the box 100 fall through the discharge port 120 into the receiving cavity space formed by the two baffles 420 in the feeding cylinder 300. The feeding cylinder 300 continues to rotate. When the discharge port 310 at the position of the baffle 420 faces downward, the raw materials in its receiving cavity fall naturally due to gravity and are put into the processing equipment, completing one feeding process. At this time, the receiving cavity formed by the two baffles 430 corresponds to the discharge port 120 and receives materials again. As the feeding cylinder 300 rotates, the two receiving cavities alternately feed materials.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 6-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the front and rear side walls of the feeding cylinder 300 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 340, and round rods 440 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two sleeves 410. The ends of the two round rods 440 extend outward from the two arc-shaped grooves 340 respectively, and connecting rods 450 are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the two round rods 440.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sleeve 410 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 320, so that the rotatable connecting rod 450 causes the sleeve 410 to rotate around the central shaft 320, thereby adjusting the distance between the two baffles 420 and the two baffles 430, controlling the size of the receiving cavity, and thus achieving precise control of different feeding amounts.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, each of the two connecting rods 450 is provided with a positioning component 460 at its other end. The positioning component 460 is installed in the sliding slot at the end of the connecting rod 450. A plug-in post 461 is slidably connected inside the sliding slot near the end of the positioning component 460. The plug-in post 461 extends into the feeding cylinder 300. A connecting post 462 is fixedly connected to the end of the plug-in post 461 inside the connecting rod 450. A pull ring 463 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting post 462 through the side wall of the connecting rod 450. A spring 464 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting post 462. The two ends of the spring 464 abut against the inner walls of the plug-in post 461 and the sliding slot of the connecting rod 450, respectively. A plurality of plug-in holes 350 are opened at equal angles on the front and rear side walls of the feeding cylinder 300. The size of the plug-in hole 350 matches the size of the plug-in post 461.

[0035] In practice, the insertion post 461, under the elastic force of the spring 464, extends towards the feeding cylinder 300 by default and inserts into the corresponding insertion hole 350, thus fixing the position of the two metering units 400. When it is necessary to change the feeding amount, the pull ring 463 can be pulled outward. The pull ring 463 pulls the insertion post 461 towards the connecting rod 450, so that the connecting rod 450 is no longer inserted into the insertion hole 350. The spring 464 is compressed twice. At this time, the round rod 440 can be moved along the path of the arc groove 340 to change the size of the receiving cavity. After adjusting to the corresponding size, the pull ring 463 is released, the spring 464 rebounds, and drives the insertion post 461 to insert into the corresponding insertion hole 350, so that the metering unit 400 is fixed again.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an elastic connecting strip 500 is connected between the two baffles 420 and between the two baffles 430. The elastic connecting strip 500 is close to the sleeve 410 to prevent the raw material from being embedded in the gap between the two sleeves 410. The inside of the feeding cylinder 300 is provided with an inclined angle facing the discharge port 310 to facilitate downward feeding.

[0037] In practice, the elastic connecting strip 500 is a flat strip. The two ends of the elastic connecting strip 500 are tightly attached between the two baffles 420 or the two baffles 430, effectively blocking the gaps and preventing the gel material from leaking out. The elastic connecting strip 500 is made of highly elastic, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, such as silicone, polyurethane (PU), or rubber. These materials not only have good elasticity and can adapt to the opening and closing of the baffles 420 or the two baffles 430, but also have sufficient strength and durability to maintain performance during long-term use.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
