Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an alternating discharge device for a pellet mill includes a support 1. The upper end of the support 1 is provided with two discharge chutes 2 positioned opposite each other and inclined. The higher ends of the two discharge chutes 2 are joined and fixed together. The two discharge chutes 2 can be integrally formed or welded together. The inclination angle of the discharge chutes 2 is between 30° and 45°. A receiving box 3 is connected to the upper end of the connection between the two discharge chutes 2. The lower end of the receiving box 3 is welded and fixed to the upper end of the side plate of the discharge chutes 2. Both the upper and lower ends of the receiving box 3 are open structures. The upper end of the receiving box 3 is connected to the discharge port of the pellet mill. The end of the chutes at the discharge port of the pellet mill is located inside the receiving box 3. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a rotatable guide plate 4 is connected at the connection of the two discharge chutes 2. The bottom sides of the guide plate 4 are connected to the side wall of the discharge chutes 2 through the rotating shaft 401. The two ends of the guide plate 4 are close to the inner wall of the receiving box 3. After the guide plate 4 is rotated, its upper end rests on the inner wall of the receiving box 3. The discharge chutes 2 on the side that the upper end of the guide plate 4 rotates can be closed.
[0026] The receiving box 3 has an arc-shaped guide hole 302 on its side wall. One end of the guide plate 4 is connected to a stud 402 that mates with the guide hole 302. The end of the stud 402 is threaded with a knob 403. Rotating the knob 403 presses it against the side wall of the receiving box 3 to fix the guide plate 4. Loosening the knob 403 allows the guide plate 4 to be rotated, thus changing the discharge direction.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the bracket 1 includes a rectangular frame structure base 101. The upper end of the base 101 is connected to a support cylinder 102. A slidable support rod 106 is inserted into the upper end of the support cylinder 102. The upper end of the support rod 106 is connected to the discharge chute 2 through a top plate. The support rod 106, the top plate and the bottom of the discharge chute 2 are connected by bolts or welding. The side wall of the support cylinder 102 is provided with positioning bolts 105 for fixing the support rod 106.
[0028] A handle 107 is provided on the side wall of the support rod 106, which allows for easy adjustment of the height of the discharge chute 2.
[0029] The side wall of the support cylinder 102 is provided with a limiting hole 103, and the side wall of the support rod 106 is provided with a limiting block 104 that cooperates with the limiting hole 103, so as to prevent the support rod 106 from being pulled out of the support cylinder 102 when adjusting the height, and to ensure the reliability of use.
[0030] The upper end of the discharge chute 2 is provided with a baffle 201 connected to the receiving box 3 to prevent the material from falling out of the discharge chute 2 after falling from the receiving box 3.
[0031] The upper end of the receiving box 3 is provided with a relief groove 303, so that the slide at the discharge port of the pellet mill can better cooperate with the receiving box 3; the upper end of the receiving box 3 away from the relief groove 303 is connected to an inclined baffle 301 to prevent the material from popping out of the receiving box 3.
[0032] In use, packaging bags or material boxes are set at the ends of both discharge chutes 2 for receiving materials. One of the discharge chutes 2 is closed by the guide plate 4, allowing the other discharge chute 2 to discharge materials. When the packaging bag or material box is full, the guide plate 4 is rotated to switch the discharge chutes 2 for discharging materials. At this time, the full packaging bag or material box is removed and replaced with an empty packaging bag or material box. This process is repeated to receive materials, avoiding the problem of stopping the machine and materials scattering on the ground during bag changing.
[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
