Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vacuum feeding equipment, in particular to an auxiliary mechanism of a vacuum feeding machine. Background Art

[0002] A vacuum loader, also known as a vacuum conveyor, is a type of pipeline equipment that utilizes vacuum suction for dust-free, enclosed conveying. It is specifically designed for conveying granular and powdered materials. This equipment utilizes the pressure difference between the vacuum and the surrounding air to generate gas flow within the pipeline, which in turn drives the material movement and achieves efficient material transportation. Vacuum loaders are particularly widely used in the food raw materials industry.

[0003] However, when using vacuum feeders to process raw materials, a certain proportion of the material will be wet. When the equipment absorbs this wet material, it tends to adhere to the inner wall of the suction pipe and form lumps at the discharge port of the vacuum pipe. This phenomenon makes the suction and discharge processes difficult, thus affecting the overall operating efficiency of the vacuum feeder. Utility Model Content

By precisely controlling the discharge rate of the material, it is possible to effectively prevent the accumulation or shortage of materials, maintain the efficient operation of the production line, and reduce the downtime caused by uneven feeding. In addition, an appropriate discharge rate helps prevent the accumulation of materials at the discharge port and reduces the risk of blockage caused by wet or sticky materials, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the system. A reasonable discharge rate can also prevent material overflow or flying, ensure the cleanliness and safety of the operating environment, and reduce the possibility of accidents.

[0034] Example:

[0035] An auxiliary mechanism of a vacuum loader includes a base plate 10 and a support plate 90, wherein the support plate 90 is fixed to the base plate 10, a through hole is opened inside the base plate 10, the upper opening of the through hole is connected to an adjusting component 20, the lower opening of the through hole is a discharge port, the upper part of the adjusting component 20 is connected to a storage barrel 30, one side of the storage barrel 30 is connected to a vacuum unit 40, and the side of the storage barrel 30 perpendicular to the vacuum unit 40 is connected to a feed pipe 50, and a drying component 60 is provided on the outside of the feed pipe 50.

[0036] It is explained that the cooperation between the bottom plate 10 and the support plate 90 can provide a stable foundation, and the through hole inside the bottom plate 10 serves to connect other components, wherein the adjusting component 20 is connected to the upper part of the through hole, responsible for controlling the discharge rate of the raw materials, ensuring the uniformity of the raw material supply during the production process, wherein one side of the storage barrel 30 is connected to the vacuum unit 40, and the negative pressure generated by the vacuum is used to suck and transport the raw materials to ensure an efficient loading process, and the feed pipe 50 is used to guide external raw materials into the storage barrel 30, and the external drying component 60 is used to provide heat to dry the raw materials, ensuring that the raw materials do not agglomerate during transportation and maintain good fluidity.

[0037] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, the drying component 60 includes a drying cylinder 610, which is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the feed pipe 50. An electric heating hose 620 is arranged inside the drying cylinder 610, and the electric heating hose 620 is arranged around the outer wall of the feed pipe 50. One end of the electric heating hose 620 is connected to an electric connector 630, and the electric connector 630 passes through the outer end of the upper end of the drying cylinder 610. A plurality of air outlets 640 are also provided on the top surface of the drying cylinder 610. The feed pipe 50 is a bent tube, and the drying cylinder 610 is mounted on the outside of the pipe wall of the feed pipe 50 that is perpendicular to the storage barrel 30 through two flanges.

[0038] It should be noted that the design of the drying drum 610 allows it to be disassembled and replaced without interfering with other components, improving equipment maintenance efficiency. The surrounding arrangement of the electric heating hose 620 ensures that heat is evenly transferred to the outer wall of the feed pipe 50, thereby ensuring that the raw materials are fully dried before entering the storage barrel 30. The provision of the electrical connector 630 allows the drying drum 610 to be easily connected to a power source, and the multiple air outlets 640 on the top surface of the drying drum 610 help to discharge moisture generated during the drying process, further ensuring the dryness of the raw materials.

[0039] Specifically, by setting a drying component 60 outside the feed pipe 50 for raw material absorption, specifically by combining a detachable drying cylinder 610 with an electric heating hose 620, the raw materials in the feed pipe 50 section surrounded by the drying component 60 are dried. The electric heating hose 620 can provide uniform heat to ensure that the raw materials can quickly heat up when passing through the feed pipe 50 section, thereby accelerating the evaporation of water. The uniform distribution of heat during the drying process helps prevent the material from agglomerating due to moisture, ensuring that the raw materials will not clog the feed pipe 50 due to agglomeration, and at the same time prevent the raw materials from adhering to the inner wall of the suction pipe and forming lumps at the discharge port of the vacuum pipe, thereby causing equipment failure. Through the continuous supply of heat, the raw materials maintain good fluidity, which not only reduces the problem of pipeline blockage caused by agglomeration, ensures the continuity and stability of the production line, but also avoids the interruption of feeding due to agglomeration of raw materials, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the equipment and reducing the time loss caused by downtime for maintenance.

[0040] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, a support frame 70 is also provided at the bottom of the tube wall where the feed tube 50 is vertically connected to the storage barrel 30. The support frame 70 includes a support column and a supporting plate. The supporting plate is a curved plate. The curved surface of the supporting plate is adapted to the tube wall of the feed tube 50 and conflicts with the tube wall of the feed tube 50. The support column is connected to the bottom surface of the supporting plate.

[0041] To clarify, the support frame 70 is designed to provide additional support for the feed pipe 50, ensuring its stability during material transportation. The curved surface of the support plate conforms to the wall of the feed pipe 50, evenly distributing pressure and preventing deformation or damage to the wall due to the weight of the material or vibration during transportation. The support columns further enhance the stability of the entire structure, ensuring the reliability of the feed pipe 50 during long-term operation.

[0042] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8As shown, the regulating component 20 includes a blanking pipe 210 and a driving motor 230, one end of the blanking pipe 210 is communicated with the storage barrel 30, and the other end of the blanking pipe 210 is communicated with the through hole opened inside the bottom plate 10, and an regulating dial 220 for regulating the falling rate of the raw material is provided inside the blanking pipe 210, and the driving motor 230 is installed on the end face of one side of the blanking pipe 210, one end of the regulating dial 220 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft of the driving motor 230 that passes through the blanking pipe 210, and the other end of the regulating dial 220 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat provided on the inner wall of the blanking pipe 210 The adjusting turntable 220 includes a rotating shaft 2210 and a fan blade 2220. One end of the rotating shaft 2210 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft of the driving motor 230, and the other end of the rotating shaft 2210 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat. At least six fan blades 2220 are provided and are installed in a circular array on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2210. Brushes 2230 are provided on the end surface of the fan blade 2220 facing the inner wall of the blanking pipe 210. The bristles 2230 conflict with the blanking pipe 210. The interior of the fan blade 2220 is also provided with a groove 2240 to prevent raw materials from scattering and blocking the bristles 2230 and the gap of the blanking pipe 210.

[0043] It is explained that the design of the adjustment turntable 220 allows the falling rate of the raw materials to be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the turntable 220, thereby achieving precise control of the raw material supply. During the rotation of the fan blade 2220 on the turntable, the friction between the bristles 2230 and the inner wall of the blanking pipe 210 can effectively prevent the raw materials from accumulating on the inner wall of the pipe, ensuring that the raw materials pass through the blanking pipe 210 smoothly. In addition, the groove 2240 design opened inside the fan blade 2220 further prevents the raw materials from scattering and blocking the gap between the bristles 2230 and the blanking pipe 210, ensuring the continuous supply of raw materials and avoiding production interruptions caused by raw material blockage. The setting of the drive motor 230 allows the adjustment turntable 220 to flexibly adjust the rotation speed to meet the raw material supply rate under different production requirements, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the entire vacuum feeding system. By precisely controlling the falling rate of the raw materials, the problem of excessive or insufficient supply of raw materials can be effectively avoided, ensuring the stability and continuity of the production process, and thus improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0044] It is worth noting that at least four support plates 90 are provided and are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base plate 10 , and a discharge hopper 80 for convenient material reception is also connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the through hole.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
