The fully automatic feeding machine can automatically adjust the feeding parameters according to production needs, mainly through its built-in intelligent control system.
Firstly, the intelligent control system will communicate with other devices on the production line. For example, when it is connected to downstream processing equipment, the processing equipment will provide feedback on its own production speed, material requirements, and other information to the control system of the feeding machine. If downstream equipment accelerates production speed and requires more materials, the control system will receive this signal and adjust its own feeding parameters.
In terms of adjusting the feeding speed, fully automatic feeding machines usually use variable frequency speed regulation technology. The system changes the frequency of the motor based on the demand signal, thereby altering the operating speed of the conveying device (such as screw conveyor, belt conveyor, etc.). For example, in the process of feeding plastic particles, when the injection molding machine accelerates the production pace, the feeding machine control system will increase the motor frequency to make the screw conveyor rotate quickly, increasing the feeding speed of plastic particles to meet the needs of the injection molding machine.
For controlling the feeding amount, on the one hand, it is achieved by controlling the conveying time. The control system calculates the required amount of material per unit time based on production requirements, and then precisely controls the opening and closing time of the conveying device. On the other hand, some advanced feeding machines are also equipped with weight sensors or volume sensors. Taking weight sensors as an example, installing sensors at critical locations in silos or conveying pipelines can monitor the weight of materials in real time. When the set weight value is reached, the control system will pause feeding and wait for the material to be consumed before continuing feeding, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the feeding amount.
In addition, in order to adapt to the characteristics of different materials, the control system can also adjust other parameters. For example, for powdered materials, in order to prevent dust from flying and clogging, the system can automatically adjust the air volume of the ventilation device and the inclination angle of the conveying pipeline. For materials that are prone to clumping, the system can control the frequency and amplitude of the vibration device to keep the material loose during transportation, ensuring smooth feeding. At the same time, operators can also input production demand parameters through the human-computer interaction interface, such as the material ratio required for different product batches. The control system will automatically adjust various variables during the feeding process according to these parameters, so that the feeding operation always closely matches the production demand.
