[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] This embodiment is an automated feeding device for a mixing granulator.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a hopper 1, a base 3 on the lower outer surface of the hopper 1, a feeding assembly 2 on one outer surface of the hopper 1, a guide tube 4 on one side of the lower end of the feeding assembly 2, a folded tube 5 in the middle of the guide tube 4, a guide hopper 6 on the lower outer surface of the guide tube 4, and an adjusting mechanism 7 on one side of the guide tube 4. The adjusting mechanism 7 includes a rack plate 8, a fixing frame 9, a first slot 10, a first connecting plate 11, a second slot 12, a second connecting plate 13, a first mounting frame 14, and a fixing plate 15. The system includes a suction cup 16, a cylinder 17, a second mounting bracket 18, a pump body 19, and a gear disk 20. The fixing plate 15 is located at the lower end of the outer wall of the conduit 4. The two sets of cylinders 17 are located on both sides of the upper outer surface of the fixing plate 15. The second mounting bracket 18 is located on the lower outer surface of the cylinder 17. The pump body 19 is located in the middle of the second mounting bracket 18. The suction cup 16 is located on the lower outer surface of the pump body 19. The first connecting plate 11 is located on one side of the outer wall of the conduit 4. The second slot 12 is opened in the middle of the upper outer surface of the first connecting plate 11.
[0023] Two sets of rack plates 8 are located at the front and rear ends on the other side of the upper outer surface of the first connecting plate 11, and the second connecting plate 13 is located on the upper outer surface of the rack plate 8. Two sets of fixing brackets 9 are located on one side of the outer surface of the front and rear ends of the feeding assembly 2. The first slot 10 is opened on the upper outer surface of the fixing bracket 9. The first mounting bracket 14 is located at the upper end of the outer surface of one side of the feeding assembly 2. The gear disk 20 is located between the two sets of first mounting brackets 14. A rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the gear disk 20, and a motor is provided at the front end of the rotating shaft. The rack plate 8 and the first slot 10 are slidably connected. The first connecting plate 11 is slidably connected to the feeding assembly 2 through the second slot 12. The gear disk 20 and the rack plate 8 mesh with each other.
[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is an automated feeding device for a mixing granulator. An external controller starts the motor, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate, simultaneously rotating the gear disk 20. Under the meshing action of the gear disk 20 and the rack plate 8, the rack plate 8 moves along the first slot 10. The first connecting plate 11 slides along the feeding assembly 2 through the second slot 12, moving the guide bin 6. The folding tube 5 is adjusted, and the guide tube 4 is aligned with the feed inlet of the mixing granulator. The external controller then starts the cylinder 17, which moves the second mounting bracket 18, simultaneously aligning the suction cup 16 with the mixing granulator. The pump body 19 is then activated, tightly aligning the suction cup 16 with the mixing granulator, thus fixing the guide bin 6. This allows for height adjustment of the guide bin 6, improving adaptability. Aligning the guide bin 6 with the feed inlet of the mixing granulator prevents raw material spillage and resource waste during feeding. The device also limits and fixes the guide bin 6, improving its placement stability.
