Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ship unloaders, and more particularly to a high-efficiency ship unloader for combined conveying of screw and negative pressure. Background Art

[0002] Ship unloader is a common equipment for unloading bulk materials at ports. It can be widely used for unloading bulk materials in powder, granular, block or mixed forms.

[0003] At present, the screw unloader is widely used in ship unloading operations, but there are also negative pressure suction unloaders. The two equipments have their own characteristics. The screw unloading system is energy-saving, low-noise, light dust, and high productivity, but after the work is completed, there is a lot of material remaining at the bottom of the cabin, and it cannot be unloaded in one go, and the workload of clearing the warehouse is large; while the negative pressure unloading system is similar to a vacuum cleaner, which can almost unload the material at the bottom of the cabin, with less dust, but the production efficiency is low, and it is noisy and energy-consuming. This machine is more suitable for small inland ships, and is rarely used for large tonnage ships due to the comprehensive indicators such as productivity and energy consumption.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a high-efficiency ship unloader with combined spiral and negative pressure conveying is a problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention
