Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0021] A preferred embodiment of the automated material proportioning and feeding device for sodium methoxide production provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 5The diagram shows an automated material proportioning and feeding device for sodium methoxide production, comprising a housing 1; a cross-shaped partition 2 fixedly disposed on the top of the housing 1; a feed pipe 3 fixedly passing through the top of the housing 1, wherein the number of feed pipes 3 is several; a first valve 4 rotatably disposed outside the feed pipe 3; a support 5 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the cross-shaped partition 2, and the support 5 being fixedly connected to the housing 1; a metering component 6 assembled inside the support 5, which controls the amount of material discharged into the lower part of the housing 1; and a discharge component 7 assembled inside the support 5, which discharges material from the upper part of the housing 1 into the metering component 6.

[0022] The quantitative component 6 includes a box 601 fixed inside the support 5, and there are several boxes 601. A guide plate 602 is fixed inside the box 601. An installation sleeve 603 is fixed at the bottom inside the box 601 and is fixed through the support 5. A first solenoid valve 604 is fixed inside the installation sleeve 603. A gravity sensor 605 is fixed inside the box 601. The discharge component 7 includes a connecting sleeve 701 fixed at the top inside the box 601 and is fixed through the support 5. A second solenoid valve 702 is fixed inside the connecting sleeve 701. A controller 8 is fixed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The controller 8 is connected to the first solenoid valve 604, the second solenoid valve 702 and the gravity sensor 605 through wires. The guide plate 602 and the gravity sensor 605 are offset from each other. The gravity sensor 605 and the installation sleeve 603 are also offset from each other.

[0023] It should be noted that the existing feeding devices for sodium methoxide production still have certain shortcomings in actual use. They cannot mix the materials in a controlled ratio manner, which affects the effect of subsequent stirring and processing of sodium methoxide.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cross partition 2 and the bracket 5 first divide the upper part of the housing 1 into several storage compartments. The operator first injects different types of materials into the storage compartments through the feed pipe 3 in a classified manner, and then closes the first valve 4. The operator then opens multiple second solenoid valves 702 simultaneously by using the controller 8. At this time, the material is discharged into the box 601 through the connecting sleeve 701. Guided by the guide plate 602, the material is discharged into the position of the gravity sensor 605 until the weight of the material collected in the box 601 reaches the value set by the gravity sensor 605. Then, the second solenoid valve 702 corresponding to the gravity sensor 605 is closed. In the above way, the material is collected in a controlled manner. The operator then opens the first solenoid valve 604 and discharges the proportioned material into the lower part of the housing 1 through the mounting sleeve 603.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a stirring assembly is provided inside the housing 1. The stirring assembly can mix the materials discharged into the lower end of the housing 1. The stirring assembly includes a rotating rod 9 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the housing 1; a first stirring rod 10 fixedly disposed on the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. A driving assembly is provided inside the housing 1. The driving assembly can control the rotation of the rotating rod 9. The driving assembly includes a motor 11 fixedly disposed on the right side of the bottom of the housing 1, and the motor 11 is a dual-shaft reduction motor; a pulley 12 fixedly disposed on the lower output shaft of the motor 11 and outside the rotating rod 9; a toothed belt 13 meshing with the pulley 12 outside the belt. The lower output end of the motor 11 rotatably passes through the housing 1. The motor 11 is connected to the controller 8 through a wire.

[0026] In this embodiment, the operator turns on the motor 11, which drives the pulley 12 to rotate the toothed belt 13, which in turn drives the rotating rod 9 and the first stirring rod 10 to rotate, thereby causing the first stirring rod 10 to stir the materials mixed in proportion at the lower end of the shell 1.

[0027] Example 2 Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the automated material proportioning and feeding device for sodium methoxide production provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A linkage assembly is provided inside the housing 1. The linkage assembly can rotate synchronously with the motor 11. The linkage assembly includes a support sleeve 14 rotatably disposed inside the lower end of the housing 1, and the support sleeve 14 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 9. A second stirring rod 15 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the support sleeve 14, and the second stirring rod 15 is offset from the first stirring rod 10. A driven gear 16 is fixedly sleeved inside the lower end of the support sleeve 14. A driving gear 17 is meshed on the right side of the driven gear 16, and the driving gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft at the upper end of the motor 11. A discharge hole 18 is integrally disposed inside the lower end of the rotating rod 9. The discharge hole 18 has a T-shaped cross-section. A second valve 19 rotatably passes through the lower end of the rotating rod 9.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material discharged into the lower part of the housing 1 is located inside the support sleeve 14. When the motor 11 is turned on, the motor 11 drives the first stirring rod 10 to rotate forward. At the same time, the motor 11 controls the driving gear 17 to drive the driven gear 16 to rotate in reverse along with the support sleeve 14 and the second stirring rod 15. This makes the second stirring rod 15 and the first stirring rod 10 rotate synchronously but in different directions. In this way, the second stirring rod 15 and the first stirring rod 10 can fully stir the material inside the support sleeve 14, ensuring the mixing effect of the material. After stirring is completed, the operator turns off the motor 11 and then opens the second valve 19 to discharge the material inside the support sleeve 14 through the discharge hole 18.

[0029] In summary, this application can control the amount of different types of materials discharged into the lower part of the shell within the range required by the operator, ensuring the effect of subsequent stirring and processing of sodium methoxide. Through the mechanical linkage design, the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod can be rotated synchronously but in different directions, thereby fully stirring the mixed materials inside the support sleeve and improving the mixing effect of the materials.
