Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel silo shed cleaning technology, specifically to a device for processing steel silo shed materials inside a factory. Background Technology
[0002] In the non-ferrous metal smelting industry, raw material procurement and processing are crucial links, directly impacting a company's production efficiency and cost control. In recent years, due to the continuous decline in processing costs, competition for raw material procurement has intensified, making low-impurity raw materials increasingly difficult to obtain, which can no longer meet the development needs of smelting enterprises. Therefore, companies have had to shift towards procuring high-impurity, more difficult-to-process raw materials, a trend that has become widespread within the industry.
[0003] However, raw materials with high impurities often have inconsistent shapes, sizes, and moisture content, resulting in inconsistent accumulation of raw materials in the steel silo. This can cause raw materials to fail to fall smoothly in certain locations, increasing the risk of material bridging and potentially even causing blockage at the steel silo outlet, ultimately leading to belt breakage and affecting the normal production of the smelting furnace.
[0004] In existing technologies, companies typically use air cannons provided with the steel silos for unblocking or vibrators to shake the silo walls. However, the effectiveness of these methods is limited by factors such as the location of the air cannon's outlet or the distribution of the vibrators, often failing to achieve the desired results. Alternatively, manual handling of the silo material can be used, but this requires multiple people working together, using sledgehammers to strike the silo walls or using tampers to poke the material. This method is not only labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient, but also poses serious safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the problem that existing technologies using air cannons and silo wall vibrators to remove silo material often fail to achieve the desired results, while manual removal is both labor-intensive and inefficient. It provides a device for removing silo material from steel silos within a factory. This device can be flexibly moved according to the distribution of steel silos within the factory, thus enabling efficient removal of silo material. It is simple to operate and practical.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a device for processing steel silo shed materials in a factory building, including a guide rail and a sliding component fixed on the factory building. The sliding component is slidably disposed on the guide rail, and a lifting rope is provided below the sliding component. The lower end of the lifting rope is connected to a flexible hose. One end of the flexible hose is connected to an external air source, and the other end of the flexible hose is connected to a rigid pipe. The rigid pipe is used to extend into the steel silo to process the shed materials.
[0007] A pull rod is also provided below the sliding component, and pulling the pull rod can drive the sliding component to slide along the guide rail.
[0008] The above solution involves installing guide rails on the factory building and a sliding assembly with a suspension rope on the guide rails. The lower part of the suspension rope is connected to a flexible hose. This allows the sliding assembly to slide along the guide rails by pulling a lever, which in turn moves the flexible hose and rigid pipe to the steel silo where the material needs to be treated. The flexible hose is connected to an external air source, which provides compressed gas. Workers can then align the outlet of the rigid pipe with the material to treat the material in the steel silo. The flexible hose also has a certain degree of flexibility, making it easy for workers to change the position of the rigid pipe outlet. Overall, the operation is relatively simple.
[0009] Based on the above solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:
[0010] Furthermore, the lower part of the sliding assembly has a right side plate and an internally hollow left side plate. A rotating shaft is provided between the left side plate and the right side plate. The left end of the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the left side plate and is connected to the transmission unit. A winding wheel is fixedly provided on the rotating shaft, and the lifting rope is wound on the winding wheel.
[0011] The pull rod is connected to the transmission unit inside the left side plate. Rotating the pull rod can drive the transmission unit to move, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0012] By adopting the above-mentioned further solution, a winding wheel is set below the rotating shaft, and the hoisting rope is wound on the winding wheel. A transmission unit is set inside the left side plate, so that rotating the pull rod can drive the transmission unit to move, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. This allows the hoisting rope to drive the hose to move up and down, which makes it easier for workers to handle the materials at different heights in the steel silo. Moreover, by supporting the hose with the hoisting rope, workers only need to align the outlet of the rigid pipe with the materials in the steel silo, without having to apply additional support force to the hose, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0013] Furthermore, a rotating rod is provided between the pull rod and the left side plate. The upper end of the rotating rod is connected to the transmission unit inside the left side plate, and the lower end of the rotating rod is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod. The lower part of the rotating rod is provided with a non-circular countersunk hole, and the upper end of the pull rod is provided with a corresponding insert block. The pull rod can slide along the length direction of the rotating rod.
[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned further solution, a rotating rod is set between the pull rod and the left side plate, and the lower end of the rotating rod and the upper end of the pull rod are respectively provided with a countersunk hole and an insert block. This ensures that the rotating rod can only be rotated by rotating the pull rod when the insert block on the pull rod is inserted into the countersunk hole of the rotating rod, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the hose. This can prevent the hose from being raised or lowered due to operator error.
[0015] Furthermore, the transmission unit consists of a worm gear and a worm meshing with the worm gear. The worm gear is fixedly located at the left end of the rotating shaft, and the worm is connected to a pull rod.
[0016] Furthermore, a limiting groove and a slide rail are provided above the guide rail, and a locking block and a roller are provided below the upper part of the sliding component. The locking block matches the shape of the limiting groove, and the roller rolls in the slide rail, so that the sliding component can slide smoothly on the guide rail.
[0017] Furthermore, a lifting ring is connected to the lower part of the lifting rope, and the flexible hose passes through the lifting ring. By setting the lifting ring, the flexible hose can be prevented from bending excessively at the connection point with the lifting rope.
[0018] Furthermore, the transmission between the worm gear and the worm can achieve self-locking.
[0019] Furthermore, the maximum diameter of the worm gear is smaller than the minimum diameter of the winding wheel.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, by setting a guide rail on the factory building and installing a sliding component with a suspension rope on the guide rail, and with a flexible hose connected to the bottom of the suspension rope, the sliding component can be moved along the guide rail by pulling a lever according to the position of the steel silo. This moves the flexible hose and rigid pipe to the steel silo where the material needs to be treated. The flexible hose is connected to an external air source, which provides compressed gas. The operator aligns the outlet of the rigid pipe with the material to be treated. The flexible hose has a certain degree of flexibility, making it easy for the operator to change the position of the outlet of the rigid pipe, thereby performing a more comprehensive treatment of the inside of the steel silo. The overall operation is relatively simple.
[0022] 2. In a further embodiment of this utility model, a winding wheel is provided below the rotating shaft, and the hoisting rope is wound around the winding wheel. A transmission unit is provided inside the left side plate, so that rotating the pull rod can drive the transmission unit to move, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. This allows the hoisting rope to drive the hose to rise and fall, making it easier for workers to handle the shed material at different heights in the steel silo. Furthermore, by supporting the hose with the hoisting rope, workers only need to align the outlet of the rigid pipe with the shed material in the steel silo, without having to apply additional support force to the hose, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a device for processing steel silo shed materials inside a factory includes a guide rail 1 fixed to the factory and a sliding assembly 2. The sliding assembly 2 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 1, and a suspension rope 3 is provided below the sliding assembly 2. The lower end of the suspension rope 3 is connected to a flexible hose 4. The flexible hose 4 is a rubber hose, and the flexible hose 4 only has a certain degree of flexibility relative to the rigid pipe 5, and is not a rubber hose that can be bent to any angle at will. One end of the flexible hose 4 is connected to an external air source 6, and the other end of the flexible hose 4 is connected to the rigid pipe 5. The external air source 6 provides compressed air to the flexible hose 4. The rigid pipe 5 is a steel pipe, which is used to extend into the steel silo 12 to process the shed materials. The end of the flexible hose 4 connected to the external air source 6 is also connected to a valve 13. The valve 13 is used to control the amount of compressed air, so that the amount of compressed air can be adjusted according to the degree of shed materials at different locations in the steel silo 12, avoiding waste and damage to the surface of the steel silo 12.
[0032] In this embodiment, several steel silos 12 are arranged in an array within the factory. A pull rod 7 is provided below the sliding component 2, allowing the sliding component 2 to slide along the guide rail 1 by pulling the pull rod 7 according to the position of the steel silos 12. This moves the hose 4 and the rigid pipe 5 to the steel silo 12 where the material needs to be processed. The hose 4 is connected to an external air source 6, which provides compressed gas. The operator aligns the outlet of the rigid pipe 5 with the material to be processed at the silo 12. The hose 4 has a certain degree of flexibility, making it easy for the operator to change the position of the outlet of the rigid pipe 5. The overall operation is relatively simple.
[0033] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding component 2 is U-shaped. Specifically, the lower part of the sliding component 2 has a right side plate 202 and a left side plate 201 with a hollow interior. A rotating shaft 203 is provided between the left side plate 201 and the right side plate 202. The left end of the rotating shaft 203 extends into the interior of the left side plate 201 and is connected to the transmission unit. A winding wheel 204 is fixed on the rotating shaft 203, and the lifting rope 3 is wound around the winding wheel 204.
[0034] The pull rod 7 is connected to the transmission unit inside the left side plate 201. Rotating the pull rod 7 can drive the transmission unit to move, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 203 to rotate, so that the hoisting rope 3 can drive the hose 4 to lift and lower. This makes it easier for workers to handle the shed material at different heights inside the steel silo 12. Moreover, with the hose 4 supported by the hoisting rope 3, workers only need to align the outlet of the rigid pipe 5 with the shed material inside the steel silo. There is no need to apply additional support force to the hose 4, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0035] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission unit consists of a worm gear 9 and a worm 10 meshing with the worm gear 9. The worm gear 9 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the rotating shaft 203. The lower end of the worm 10 is connected to the pull rod 7, and the upper end of the worm 10 is connected to the upper end of the left side plate 201 through the rotating shaft, thereby ensuring the stability of the worm 10 transmission.
[0036] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a rotating rod 8 is provided between the pull rod 7 and the left side plate 201. The upper end of the rotating rod 8 is connected to the transmission unit inside the left side plate 201, and the lower end of the rotating rod 8 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 7. The lower part of the rotating rod 8 is provided with a non-circular countersunk hole 801. The countersunk hole 801 has a pentagonal cross-section. The upper end of the pull rod 7 is provided with a corresponding insert 701, and the pull rod 7 can slide along the length direction of the rotating rod 8. The lower part of the rotating rod 8 is provided with a stop block, and the inner diameter of the lower end of the pull rod 7 is reduced, so as to prevent the pull rod 7 and the rotating rod 8 from completely separating. This ensures that the rotating rod 8 can only be rotated by rotating the pull rod 7 when the insert 701 on the pull rod 7 is inserted into the countersunk hole 801 of the rotating rod 8, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the hose 4. This can prevent the hose 4 from being raised or lowered due to the operator's misoperation.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the pull rod 7 and the rotating rod 8 are integrated into one unit. By rotating the pull rod 7, the hoisting rope 3 can be raised or lowered. By pulling the pull rod 7, the sliding component 2 can be moved along the guide rail 1.
[0038] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail 1 is provided with a limiting groove 101 and a slide rail 102 above it. The upper part of the sliding component 2 is provided with a locking block 205 and a roller 206 below it. The locking block 205 matches the shape of the limiting groove 101, and the roller 206 rolls in the slide rail 102, so that the sliding component 2 can slide smoothly on the guide rail 1.
[0039] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, a lifting ring 11 is connected to the lower part of the lifting rope 3, and the hose 4 is inserted inside the lifting ring 11. By setting the lifting ring 11, the hose 4 can be prevented from bending excessively at the connection with the lifting rope 3. Specifically, in order to avoid wear on the surface of the hose 4, a flexible material or wear-resistant material can be set inside the lifting ring 11.
[0040] As one possible implementation, the worm 10 is a single-line worm, and the transmission between the worm wheel 9 and the worm 10 can achieve self-locking. When the unfolded helix angle of the worm 10 is less than the friction angle of the contact between the worm wheel 9 and the worm 10, self-locking can be achieved, that is, only the worm 10 can drive the worm wheel 9, and vice versa. This design of achieving self-locking of the transmission between the worm wheel 9 and the worm 10 using geometric parameters is part of the prior art.
[0041] As one possible implementation, the maximum diameter of the worm gear 9 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the winding wheel 204. In this embodiment, the minimum diameter of the winding wheel 204 is twice the maximum diameter of the worm gear 9, thereby ensuring the winding efficiency of the winding wheel 204 in winding the suspension rope 3.
[0042] In this embodiment, when used:
[0043] Workers rotate the pull rod 7 to align the insert 701 at the top of the pull rod 7 with the countersunk hole 801 at the lower end of the rotating rod 8, and insert the insert 701 into the countersunk hole 801. Rotating the pull rod 7 drives the rotating rod 8 and the worm gear 10 inside the left side plate 201 to rotate. This drives the rotating shaft 203 to rotate through the transmission between the worm gear 10 and the worm wheel 9, thereby driving the winding wheel 204 to wind up or release the lifting rope 3, thus realizing the raising and lowering of the hose 4. After the hose 4 is moved to a suitable height, a worker holds the rigid pipe 5 and aligns the outlet of the rigid pipe 5 with the material shed inside the steel silo 12. Another worker controls the opening and closing of the valve 13 to adjust the amount of compressed air sprayed from the rigid pipe 5, and then handles the material shed at different locations in the steel silo 12.
[0044] After the material in one steel silo 12 is processed, the worker rotates the lever 7 to raise the hose 4. Once the hose 4 is raised to a suitable height, the worker pulls the lever 7 downward to separate the lever 7 from the locking point of the rotating rod 8. By pushing the lever 7, the worker drives the sliding component 2 to slide along the guide rail 1 until it slides to the next steel silo 12. This process is repeated to complete the processing of the material inside the steel silo 12 in the factory.
