Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of powder processing engineering equipment technology, and in particular to a powder flow aid device. Background Technology

[0002] In the powder processing, the powder collected in the hopper needs to be discharged from the hopper in a timely or periodic manner before proceeding to the next step. Otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of the next process. During the powder feeding process, since the powder does not always move naturally and smoothly like a liquid, due to factors such as the friction, adhesion, static electricity between its particles and the structure of the hopper, the powder may experience bridging (forming an arch structure above the outlet), clumping, and rat holes (only the powder in the center flows, while the powder around it stops and moves through the central hole). These problems will lead to key points in the production process and incomplete unloading.

[0003] When the above-mentioned problems occur, manual intervention by staff is usually required, which involves frequent stirring or poking with a stirring rod to force the powder to resume its flow. However, this method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and has a harsh working environment, while also resulting in inconsistent processing effects. Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a powder flow aid device. Utility Model Content
