Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example 1

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated filling device for bath salt processing, including: A workbench 1 has a conveyor 2 and at least two metering components 3 on its top. The conveyor 2 is adapted to transport bath salt tanks to the metering components 3 for filling. The metering components 3 include: a storage tray 301, several equidistant measuring cylinders 302 communicating with the bottom of the storage tray 301, a limiting plate 303 contacting the bottom of each measuring cylinder 302, a scraper 304 contacting the inner wall of the storage tray 301, and a reduction motor 305 for driving the storage tray 301 to rotate. The limiting plate 303 has a discharge port 3031, and the discharge port 3031 is located above the conveying path of the bath salt tanks. The measuring cylinders 302 and 303 are also included. When the measuring cylinder 302 rotates to the discharge port 3031, the material in the measuring cylinder 302 falls into the bath salt tank through the discharge port 3031; the main control module is electrically connected to the conveyor 2 and the geared motor 305; wherein the main control module is adapted to control the conveyor 2 to move intermittently so that each bath salt tank moves sequentially to the bottom of the discharge port 3031 for filling; and the main control module is adapted to control the geared motor 305 to start, the geared motor 305 drives the storage pan 301 and each measuring cylinder 302 to rotate, the limiting plate 303 limits the bottom of the measuring cylinder 302, and the scraper 304 scrapes off the excess material at the top of the measuring cylinder 302 to ensure that the material is metered. The process involves canning; the conveyor 2 is, but is not limited to, a belt conveyor; the storage tray 301 is used to temporarily store bath salts to be canned and provides filling space for the measuring cylinder 302; the measuring cylinder 302 is a capless, bottomless cylindrical structure for quantitative material storage; the measuring cylinders 302 of the two quantitative components 3 have different volumes, thereby meeting different canning requirements and reducing production costs; by setting a limiting plate 303 and a discharge port 3031 on the limiting plate 303, when the measuring cylinder 302 has not rotated to the discharge port 3031, the limiting plate 303 tightly fits the bottom of the measuring cylinder 302, preventing bath salts from spilling out. The measuring cylinder 302 leaks out to avoid material waste; when the measuring cylinder 302 rotates to the discharge port 3031, the material in the measuring cylinder 302 falls vertically into the tank; the scraper 304 is made of, but is not limited to, wear-resistant polytetrafluoroethylene; the scraper 304 is fixed, while the storage tray 301 and the measuring cylinder 302 rotate. When the storage tray 301 drives the measuring cylinder 302 to rotate below the scraper 304, the scraper 304 scrapes the material exceeding the opening of the measuring cylinder 302 back into the storage tray 301, thereby ensuring that the weight of the material in each measuring cylinder 302 is basically consistent; the main control module is controlled by, but is not limited to, PLC.

[0021] In this embodiment, excess material is scraped off by a measuring cylinder 302 with a fixed volume and a scraper 304, replacing the traditional bolt feeding method, thereby solving the problem of unstable can weight caused by material jamming in traditional equipment.

[0022] The quantitative component 3 further includes a guide tube 306 disposed at the bottom of the limiting plate 303; wherein one end of the guide tube 306 is located below the discharge port 3031, and the other end is located above the conveying path of the bath salt tank; wherein one end of the guide tube 306 is adapted to the discharge port 3031, and the other end is adapted to the opening of the bath salt tank, and is smaller than the diameter of the opening of the bath salt tank, thereby achieving precise guidance of materials into the tank.

[0023] The conveyor 2 is equipped with two limiting plates 4; wherein the limiting plates 4 are adapted to limit the bath salt tank; wherein the two limiting plates 4 are arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the bath salt tank; wherein the two limiting plates 4 are arranged in a figure-eight shape so that the bath salt tank is automatically centered, ensuring that the guide tube 306 can guide all the material into the bath salt tank.

[0024] At least two proximity sensors 5 are provided on any of the limiting plates 4; wherein the proximity sensors 5 are adapted to detect whether the bath salt tank is conveyed to the bottom of the guide tube 306; the two proximity sensors 5 are electrically connected to the main control module; the two proximity sensors 5 correspond one-to-one with the corresponding quantitative components 3; and the main control module is adapted to control the start and stop of the conveyor 2 and the corresponding geared motor 305 according to the detection data of the proximity sensors 5; wherein the proximity sensors 5 are preferably inductive; one quantitative component 3 and one proximity sensor 5 form a group, and each group can be used alone or in conjunction with other groups. For example, one measuring cylinder 302 has a volume of A and is adapted to bath salt tank A, and another measuring cylinder 302 has a volume of B and is adapted to bath salt tank B. When a larger bath salt tank C is available, the filling method of measuring cylinder A 302 + measuring cylinder B 302 can be used. This design eliminates the need to prepare measuring cylinders 302 of all specifications, greatly reducing production costs.

[0025] The quantitative component 3 further includes: a first portal frame 307 disposed on the workbench 1, a bearing seat 308 disposed above the first portal frame 307, and a transmission shaft 309 connected to the bearing seat 308; wherein the geared motor 305 is disposed inside the first portal frame 307 and connected to the transmission shaft 309; the limiting plate 303 is disposed on the bearing seat 308; the transmission shaft 309 passes through the limiting plate 303 and is connected to the bottom of the storage tray 301; and the geared motor 305 is adapted to drive the storage tray 301 to rotate through the transmission shaft 309; wherein the first portal frame 307 is bolted to the workbench 1.

[0026] The quantitative component 3 further includes: a second gantry frame 310 disposed on the first gantry frame 307; wherein the scraper 304 is disposed on the second gantry frame 310; wherein the second gantry frame 310 is bolted to the first gantry frame 307; the second gantry frame 310 is bolted to the scraper 304; wherein the second gantry frame 310 is used to fix the scraper 304.

[0027] The storage tray 301 has several circularly arranged placement portions 3011 on its bottom inner wall; the measuring cylinder 302 has a contact portion 3021 on its top; the contact portion 3021 is adapted to be placed on the placement portion 3011; and the storage tray 301 and the measuring cylinder 302 are movably connected; the top of the measuring cylinder 302 is flush with the bottom inner wall of the storage tray 301; by providing the placement portions 3011 and the contact portions 3021, the measuring cylinder 302 can be quickly positioned, and the circular array arrangement ensures that the measuring cylinder 302 moves with the storage tray 301. The distance between them is consistent; the storage tray 301 and the measuring cylinder 302 are connected by, but not limited to, bolts; the top of the measuring cylinder 302 is flush with the bottom inner wall of the storage tray 301, so as to ensure that the scraper 304 can scrape the material more evenly and smoothly over the top of the measuring cylinder 302, and ensure that the amount of material in each measuring cylinder 302 is accurate and consistent; if the top of the measuring cylinder 302 is not flush with the bottom inner wall of the storage tray 301, the scraper 304 may not scrape the material cleanly or evenly, resulting in a deviation in the amount of material in the measuring cylinder 302 and affecting the filling accuracy.
