Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator technology, and specifically to a dust-free screening elevator for powdered materials. Background Technology

[0002] When preparing flour and other powdered materials, granular or lumpy raw materials need to be crushed and rolled multiple times to improve the quality of the powder. The equipment used for crushing and rolling typically involves feeding the raw materials from a height. Under gravity, the materials pass through the grinding discs and other components of the equipment, turning them into powder before being discharged. However, a single crushing and rolling process is usually insufficient to produce powder of the correct fineness from all raw materials, requiring secondary or even tertiary crushing and rolling. This necessitates lifting the previously processed raw materials to a higher height for re-feeding. The traditional method involves using a screening machine to remove the finely ground materials, while the unfinely ground materials are lifted by an elevator. However, traditional elevators typically use pipes for suction, and the strong airflow can cause some powder to spill out, seriously threatening human health and environmental safety.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0032] This invention discloses a dust-free screening and lifting machine for powdered materials, with reference to... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a screening and lifting unit 1, a driving unit 2, and a discharge unit 3.

[0033] The aforementioned screening and lifting unit 1 includes a lifting cylinder 10 and a screening cylinder 11.

[0034] The aforementioned lifting cylinder 10 is hollow inside. A partition plate 102 is provided inside the lifting cylinder 10. The partition plate 102 divides the hollow part of the lifting cylinder 10 into a lifting chamber 103 and a discharge chamber 105. The lifting cylinder 10 is provided with a feed inlet 101 and a discharge outlet 104. Both the feed inlet 101 and the discharge outlet 104 are connected to the lifting chamber 103, with the feed inlet 101 located at the bottom of the lifting chamber 103 and the discharge outlet 104 located at the top of the lifting chamber 103.

[0035] The screening cylinder 11 is hollow inside, with a closed top and an open bottom. The hollow part inside the screening cylinder 11 is the collection chamber 111. The screening cylinder 11 is rotatably mounted inside the lifting cylinder 10 and is coaxial with the lifting cylinder 10. The top of the screening cylinder 11 is not lower than the discharge port 104. The bottom opening of the screening cylinder 11 extends through the partition plate 102 into the discharge chamber 105, so that the collection chamber 111 communicates with the discharge chamber 105. A connecting port 112 is spirally opened around the periphery of the screening cylinder 11. A spiral plate 113 is spirally arranged around the periphery of the screening cylinder 11. The maximum diameter of the spiral plate 113 is the same as the inner diameter of the lifting chamber 103. A screen 114 is laid on the upper surface of the spiral plate 113. The interior of the spiral plate 113 is hollow, forming a screening chamber 115. The screening chamber 115 is connected to both the screen 114 and the connecting port 112. During operation, raw materials are fed into the lifting chamber 103 through the feed inlet 101. The screening cylinder 11 rotates, driving the spiral plate 113 to rotate, thereby lifting the raw materials upward. The raw materials on the spiral plate 113 are mainly supported by the screen 114. As the raw materials move upward on the screen 114, those with a fineness smaller than the screen 114 standard will fall into the screening chamber 115, and then be collected and fall through the collection chamber 111. Ultimately, raw materials with a fineness greater than the screen 114 standard will be lifted to the discharge outlet 104 and discharged, while raw materials with a fineness smaller than the screen 114 standard will fall through the collection chamber 111 into the discharge chamber 105, thus achieving the lifting and screening of raw materials.

[0036] The aforementioned discharge unit 3 includes a cylinder cover 13, a collection hopper 14, and an opening / closing section.

[0037] The aforementioned cover 13 is placed over the bottom of the lifting cylinder 10. A guide hole 130 is provided at the bottom of the cover 13 along the central axis of the lifting cylinder 10.

[0038] The aforementioned collecting hopper 14 is funnel-shaped. The collecting hopper 14 is slidably disposed within the discharge chamber 105. A discharge cylinder 141 is provided at the bottom of the collecting hopper 14. The discharge cylinder 141 is slidably disposed within the guide hole 130 to prevent powdery materials from falling from the clearance hole.

[0039] Reference Figures 4-7 As shown, the opening and closing part includes an elastic element 150, a first connecting rod 151, a second connecting rod 152, a sliding rod 153, a slider 154, a first claw cover 155, a second claw cover 156, and a clearance groove 157.

[0040] The aforementioned elastic element 150 is disposed between the cylinder cover 13 and the collecting hopper 14. A first connecting rod 151 is disposed at the bottom of the collecting hopper 14 and extends through the bottom of the cylinder cover 13. One end of a second connecting rod 152 is hinged to the end of the first connecting rod 151 that extends through the cylinder cover 13. A sliding rod 153 is disposed at the bottom of the cylinder cover 13. A slider 154 is slidably disposed on the sliding rod 153, and the other end of the second connecting rod 152 is hinged to the slider 154. A first claw cover 155 and a second claw cover 156 are respectively disposed on the two sliders 154 in the two sets of opening and closing portions. A clearance groove 157 is formed on the discharge cylinder 141 along the central axis of the lifting cylinder. The first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156 are inserted into the clearance groove 157. During operation, the powder falling from the collection chamber 111 falls into the collection hopper 14; the lower layer of the collection hopper 14 is gradually filled with the settled powder, and as more powder falls, the weight of the collection hopper 14 increases; when the elastic force of the elastic element 150 is exceeded, the collection hopper 14 begins to slide down; the first connecting rod 151 and the second connecting rod 152 push the slider away from the discharge cylinder 141, thereby separating the first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156, opening the bottom of the discharge cylinder 141, and allowing the settled powder to fall out. The powder is discharged through the discharge cylinder 141. As the amount of powder settled in the collection hopper 14 decreases, the weight of the collection hopper 14 decreases, the collection hopper 14 rises, and the first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156 are reinserted into the clearance groove 157 and joined together to seal the discharge cylinder 141. The above optimized design ensures that the powder discharged through the discharge cylinder 141 is always settled, preventing dust from spreading everywhere, protecting personnel safety and environmental friendliness, and avoiding extreme situations such as dust explosions.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156 respectively have three fork teeth and two fork teeth. The clearance groove 157 has three and two grooves respectively on the sides of the first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156. The first claw cover 155 and the second claw cover 156 are inserted into the discharge cylinder 141 via the clearance groove 157, and after being assembled, completely block the discharge cylinder 141.

[0042] The aforementioned elastic element 150 can be a spring.

[0043] The aforementioned drive unit 2 includes a motor 20 and a drive shaft 21. The motor 20 is located at the top of the lifting cylinder 10. The drive shaft 21 is located at the free end of the motor 20. The drive shaft 21 passes through the lifting cylinder 10 and is connected to the screening cylinder 11. The motor 20 can drive the screening cylinder 11 to rotate via the drive shaft 21.

[0044] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
