Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tanks, specifically an online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank. Background Technology

[0002] The online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank is a system device used in industrial production for precise control of powder material conveying, mainly applied in industries such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and building materials. The online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank mainly consists of a tank body, weighing system, powder feeding mechanism, pneumatic conveying system, and control system, ensuring accurate metering and stable powder delivery. During weighing, multiple load cells are installed at the bottom of the tank or on the supporting structure, allowing for online weighing. However, the load cells bear the pressure of the tank body and the material, and disassembly requires tools to rotate bolts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, presenting certain drawbacks. Therefore, we propose an online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank, including a tank body, a fixed base, a weighing sensor, a support column, an overload protection component, and a quick-release component. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body, and a discharge valve is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe. The fixed base is fixedly installed on the outside of the tank body. The weighing sensor abuts against the bottom of the fixed base. The support column is fixedly connected to the weighing sensor, and a limit rod is provided at the top of the support column. The overload protection component includes a nut threadedly connected to the limit rod, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the top of the nut, a spring fixedly installed at the top of the rotating plate, and a ring fixedly installed at the top of the spring. The quick-release component includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to the support column and a stop block fixedly installed on the rotating rod.

[0005] Preferably, the top of the tank is fixedly provided with a feed pipe and an exhaust pipe, and a feed valve and an exhaust valve are fixedly provided on the feed pipe and the exhaust pipe, respectively.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes an air inlet pipe, which is fixedly installed on the tank body and the discharge pipe, and an air inlet valve is fixedly installed on the air inlet pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing base has two limiting holes, both of which are round holes.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the support column is provided with a mounting slot for installing a weighing sensor.

[0009] Preferably, the top end of the nut is provided with a groove, and the nut is slidably connected to the rotating plate through the groove.

[0010] Preferably, the stop block is threaded with a fastening knob, and the fastening knob is a T-shaped stud.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: The nut of the overload protection component can be rotated upward, thereby driving the rotating plate, spring and ring to move until the ring supports the fixed seat. The overload protection component can then support the raised tank. The fastening knob of the quick-release component can be loosened, thereby rotating the stop block until it no longer obstructs the load cell. At this point, the load cell can be directly removed. This process does not require tools, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, saving time and effort. At the same time, the spring has a certain elastic potential energy, which allows the ring to buffer the tank, effectively preventing the tank from damaging the load cell due to overload.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an online weighing and equalizing powder feeding tank, including a tank body 100, an air inlet pipe 200, a fixed base 300, a weighing sensor 400, a support column 500, an overload protection component 600, and a quick-release component 700.

[0029] Specifically, a discharge pipe 105 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 100, and a discharge valve 106 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 105. An inlet pipe 101 and an exhaust pipe 103 are fixedly installed at the top of the tank body 100, and an inlet valve 102 and an exhaust valve 104 are fixedly installed on the inlet pipe 101 and the exhaust pipe 103, respectively. In use, the discharge pipe 105 can be opened by controlling the discharge valve 106, and then the material can be discharged through the discharge pipe 105. The inlet pipe 101 can be opened by controlling the inlet valve 102, so that the material can be conveyed into the tank body 100 through the inlet pipe 101. Then, the exhaust pipe 103 can be opened by controlling the exhaust valve 104, so that the exhaust can be vented through the exhaust pipe 103.

[0030] Specifically, the air inlet pipe 200 is fixedly installed on the tank body 100 and the discharge pipe 105, and the air inlet pipe 200 is fixedly installed with an air inlet valve 201. In use, the air inlet pipe 200 can be opened by controlling the air inlet valve 201 so that air can be delivered into the discharge pipe 105, thereby conveying the material.

[0031] Specifically, the fixing seat 300 is fixedly installed on the outside of the tank body 100. The fixing seat 300 has two limiting holes 301, both of which are round holes. In use, the limiting holes 301 can be used in conjunction with the limiting rod 501 to achieve the limiting effect, which facilitates the installation of the support column 500 and the fixing seat 300.

[0032] Specifically, the weighing sensor 400 is attached to the bottom of the fixed base 300. During use, the weighing sensor 400 can detect the weight of the tank 100 and the material in real time so as to feed powder in a quantitative manner.

[0033] Specifically, the support column 500 is fixedly connected to the load cell 400, and a limit rod 501 is provided at the top of the support column 500. The top of the support column 500 is provided with a mounting groove 502 for installing the load cell 400. In use, the load cell 400 can be fixed by the support column 500, and the limit rod 501 can be used to fix the support column 500 to the fixed base 300. Then, the load cell 400 can be installed by the mounting groove 502.

[0034] Specifically, the overload protection component 600 includes a nut 601 threadedly connected to the limit rod 501, a rotating plate 602 rotatably connected to the top of the nut 601, a spring 603 fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating plate 602, and a ring 604 fixedly mounted on the top of the spring 603.

After blocking, the fastening knob 703 can be tightened. The tightened fastening knob 703 will press against the load cell 400, which will strengthen the fixing effect and prevent the stop 702 from loosening.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first move the tank 100 upwards directly. After moving it to a suitable height, rotate the nut 601 of the overload protection component 600. The rotating nut 601 will drive the rotating plate 602, spring 603, and ring 604 upwards until the ring 604 supports the fixing seat 300. At this point, the tank 100 can be supported by the overload protection component 600. Then, loosen the fastening knob 703 of the quick-release component 700. After loosening, the rotating rod 701 and the stop block can be rotated. 702, until the stop 702 no longer obstructs the load cell 400, then directly remove the load cell 400 for disassembly. During installation, the load cell 400 can be placed in the mounting slot 502 and inserted. After insertion, rotate the rotating rod 701 and the stop 702 until the stop 702 obstructs the load cell 400, then the load cell 400 can be fixed on the support column 500. After fixing, move the tank 100 until the fixing seat 300 contacts the load cell 400.
