[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figure 1-3 In the continuous packaging device, the single-unit feeding mechanism includes a support frame 1, which is an inclined frame. The support frame 1 has a storage box 2, a material collection cylinder 5, a material distribution box 6, and a feeding pipe 7 installed horizontally from high to low on the support frame 1. The material distribution box 6 is provided with a rotating shaft 13. A material distribution plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13 and is provided with multiple material storage slots 15. The rotating shaft 13 is connected to the output end of a drive motor 16. The drive motor 16 is connected to the support frame 1 through a fixed seat 17.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge end of the feed pipe 7 is provided with a connecting sleeve 8, and the connecting sleeve 8 is provided with a guide connecting pipe 9.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the feed pipe 7 is equipped with a counting sensor 10, which is connected to a display 12 located on the top of the outer wall of the dispensing box 6 via a data cable 11.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the storage bin 2 is provided with a flexible baffle 3.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the storage bin 2 is provided with an observation window 4 on its side wall.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box 2 is provided with a multi-component partition 18.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving edges of the material storage tank 15 and the material distribution partition 18 are both rounded.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] like Figure 2 In the middle, the storage box 2 has a volume of 50L. The material distribution partitions 18 (thickness 3mm) on the bottom surface of the interior are arranged in parallel positions. The distance between adjacent material distribution partitions 18 is 50mm. The top receiving edge of the material distribution partition 18 has a radius of R10mm rounded corner.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] like Figure 1 In the middle, the flexible baffle is made of EPDM rubber with a thickness of 5mm. Its edge is fixed to the top of the storage box 2 by a slot, covering an area of ​​80% of the feed inlet.

[0032] Example 4:

[0033] like Figure 1 and 2 In the middle, the counting sensor adopts model E3Z-LS63, with a maximum detection distance of 300mm. It is installed in the middle of the feed pipe 7 and communicates in real time with the 7-inch TFT screen display 12 via RS485 bus.
