[0002] Food additives, as indispensable components in the food industry, are mainly used to improve the taste, color, and aroma of food, extend its shelf life, and ensure food safety. With the continuous improvement of modern food manufacturing techniques, the types and functions of food additives have become increasingly diverse, covering multiple categories such as preservatives, antioxidants, emulsifiers, thickeners, colorants, and sweeteners. However, the precise input of liquid raw materials is particularly important in the production of food additives.

[0003] In the current food additive production process, the input of raw materials mainly relies on workers to manually put the raw materials into the equipment to make food additives. However, the amount of raw materials to be added mainly depends on the workers' personal experience. However, relying on manual input can easily lead to worker fatigue, resulting in unstable and inaccurate input, especially during long hours or high-intensity work. This can cause imbalances in the formula ratio. Moreover, manual operation is prone to human interference, increasing operational risks and resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] refer to Figure 1A liquid metering and feeding device includes a storage tank 1, a metering tank 2, an inlet pipe 3 and a first outlet pipe 4. One end of the inlet pipe 3 is connected to an external feeding device, and the other end is located inside the storage tank 1 and faces the inner wall of the storage tank 1. A first control valve 31 is provided on the inlet pipe 3.

[0029] The storage tank 1 is equipped with a monitoring component 11. When the external feeding device feeds material into the storage tank 1, the monitoring component 11 monitors the material to prevent the amount of material fed from exceeding the storage threshold of the storage tank 1.

[0030] One end of the first discharge pipe 4 is connected to the storage tank 1, and the other end is located inside the metering tank 2 and faces the inner wall of the metering tank 2. The first discharge pipe 4 is provided with a second control valve 43. The metering tank 2 is provided with a first weighing sensor 22 and a second discharge pipe 21. The second discharge pipe 21 is connected to an external material-using device. The second discharge pipe 21 is provided with a third control valve 23.

[0031] In this design, when adding liquid to storage tank 1, the first control valve 31 on the inlet pipe 3 is opened, allowing the external feeding device to deliver the material into storage tank 1. Since the other end of the inlet pipe 3 is located inside storage tank 1 and faces the inner wall of storage tank 1, the liquid is first sprayed onto the inner wall of storage tank 1 and then flows from the inner wall to the bottom of storage tank 1. Furthermore, the monitoring component 11 prevents the amount of material added from exceeding the storage threshold of storage tank 1. To output the material from storage tank 1 to metering tank 2, the second control valve 43 on the first outlet pipe 4 is opened, allowing the liquid in storage tank 1 to flow freely. After passing through the first discharge pipe 4, the liquid will spray out towards the inner wall of the metering tank 2, and then flow down from the inner wall of the metering tank 2 to the bottom of the metering tank 2. After a certain amount of liquid is output into the metering tank 2, the second control valve 43 is closed, and then the third control valve 23 is opened. The liquid is weighed by the first weighing sensor 22 on the metering tank 2, and the previous external feeding equipment is used for quantitative feeding. In this way, quantitative feeding can be completed and the storage threshold of the storage tank 1 can be avoided when adding material to the storage tank 1. Moreover, the liquid inlet pipe 3 is facing the inner wall of the storage tank 1, and the first discharge pipe 4 is facing the inner wall of the metering tank 2, which can prevent the liquid from falling from a height and directly impacting the tank body.

[0032] The first weighing sensor 22, the first control valve 31, the second control valve 43, and the third control valve 23 are electrically connected to the external PLC system.

The second weighing sensor 111 is used to prevent the added liquid from being too heavy and to prevent the added liquid from exceeding the weight limit of the storage tank 1, while the tuning fork level switch 112 is used to prevent the added liquid from exceeding the preset liquid height of the storage tank 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first discharge pipe 4 includes a first section 41 and a second section 42 that are interconnected.

[0037] One end of the first segment 41 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, and one end of the second segment 42 is located inside the metering tank 2 and faces the inner wall of the metering tank 2;

[0038] The second control valve 43 is disposed on the first section 41 and the second section 42, and the first section 41 is also provided with a maintenance valve 44.

[0039] Generally, when transferring liquid to metering tank 2, open the second control valve 43 of the first section 41 and the second section 42, so that the liquid will flow into metering tank 2. After a certain amount is added, close the second control valve 43. The maintenance valve 44 can be set up to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the pipeline.

One end of the first pipe 211 is connected to the bottom of the metering tank 2, and one end of the second pipe 222 is connected to an external feeding device. The third control valve 23 is disposed on the first pipe 211 and the second pipe 222. To discharge the liquid in the metering tank 2 to the external feeding device, the third control valve 23 on the first pipe 211 and the second pipe 222 is opened.

[0041] Preferably, both the metering tank 2 and the storage tank 1 are equipped with a breather valve 9 at their top. The breather valve 9 is used to maintain the pressure balance inside and outside the tank, preventing the equipment from deforming or breaking due to pressure fluctuations.

The worker opens the second valve on the spray pipe 81, and water is sprayed out from the spray ball 82 after passing through the spray pipe 81 to clean the inner wall of the metering tank 2. After cleaning is completed, the second valve 83 is closed, and the third control valve 23 on the first pipeline 211 and the third valve 61 on the second branch pipe 6 are opened to allow the water to flow out.

[0049] Of course, the second branch pipe 6 can also be connected to the material feeding equipment of the external device. After the material feeding positioning of the external device connected to the second pipe 222 is completed, the third control valve 23 on the second pipe 222 is closed and the third valve 61 of the second branch pipe 6 is opened. This can speed up production efficiency.
