Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of building material processing equipment, and particularly relates to a colorful fabric device and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance aesthetics and add visual appeal, products featuring a mix of colors have emerged, and the equipment used to process such products is called a multi-color fabric processing machine. This machine feeds materials of multiple colors into a molding machine, which then processes the fabric to create a product with a visually appealing blend of colors.

[0003] In the existing technology, the colorful fabric device can perform the function of straight-line multi-form fabric distribution through the transverse translation belt conveyor. After the materials of various colors are mixed and formed, the colors are mixed evenly, which cannot form a pattern with color distribution visual on the product, and cannot meet the requirements of the current diversified graphic design. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of related technologies, this invention provides a colorful fabric device and its fabrication method, which solves the problem that current colorful fabric devices can only achieve uniform mixing of multiple colors and cannot meet the requirements of diverse graphic designs.

[0005] This invention provides a device for making colorful fabrics, comprising:

[0006] Blender;

[0007] The transverse movement device is located below the mixer;

[0008] The receiving hopper is mounted on the transverse moving device, which drives the receiving hopper to move laterally so that the receiving hopper is aligned with the discharge port of the mixer.

[0009] The longitudinal transfer device is rotatably mounted on the receiving hopper;

[0010] A rotary drive is installed on the transverse movement device and drives the connected longitudinal movement device to rotate it on the horizontal plane;

[0011] The upper belt conveyor is mounted on the longitudinal moving device. When the longitudinal moving device drives the upper belt conveyor to move longitudinally, the upper belt conveyor is always located below the receiving hopper.

[0012] The lower belt conveyor is located below the upper belt conveyor and is used to receive materials falling from the upper belt conveyor.

[0013] The material receiving hopper, rotary drive, longitudinal transfer device and upper belt mechanism constitute a material distribution unit, and multiple material distribution units are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction.

[0014] The top and bottom of the receiving hopper have a first frame and a second frame, respectively. A weight sensor is installed between the first frame and the second frame to weigh the material in the receiving hopper. The first frame is installed on the transverse moving device.

[0015] The bottom port of the receiving hopper slides in contact with the upper belt conveyor.

[0016] In some embodiments, the traversing device includes:

[0017] The transverse guide rail has two rails, both of which are arranged laterally and are parallel to each other, and the two transverse guide rails are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction.

[0018] The first transverse support has two parts, each equipped with a first transverse guide wheel. The first transverse guide wheel is respectively mounted on a corresponding transverse guide rail, and the first transverse support is mounted on the first frame.

[0019] The second transverse support has two parts, each equipped with a second transverse guide wheel. The second transverse guide wheel is respectively mounted on a corresponding transverse guide rail, and the second transverse support is mounted on the first frame.

[0020] A transverse drive is mounted on the first transverse support and drives the corresponding first transverse guide wheel.

[0021] In some embodiments, the longitudinal movement device includes:

[0022] The first longitudinal moving support is equipped with longitudinal moving guide rails on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and the first longitudinal moving support is installed on the receiving hopper;

[0023] The second longitudinal support has a pair of longitudinal guide wheels on both sides in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal guide wheels are mounted on the corresponding longitudinal guide rails. The upper belt conveyor is mounted on the second longitudinal support.

[0024] The longitudinal drive is mounted on the second longitudinal support and drives the connected longitudinal guide wheel.

[0025] In some embodiments, both longitudinal guide rails are located on the bottom surface of the first longitudinal support, and both are grooved rails, with the longitudinal guide wheel slidably installed in the grooved rail.

[0026] In some embodiments, the receiving hopper is provided with a first longitudinal support and a second longitudinal support having a material transfer space, so that the material falling from the port at the bottom of the receiving hopper falls onto the upper belt conveyor through the material transfer space.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second longitudinal moving support includes two separate supports spaced apart longitudinally, and the material transfer space is the space between the two separate supports.

[0028] In some embodiments, the bottom of the receiving hopper is provided with a rotating shaft, through which a first longitudinal support is inserted downwards, and a limiting ring is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft to prevent the rotating shaft from coming out of the first longitudinal support upwards.

[0029] In some embodiments, the longitudinal movement device is equipped with an external gear ring, which is coaxial with the receiving hopper, and a drive gear is installed on the output end of the rotary drive, which meshes with the external gear ring.

[0030] A fabric application method, using the aforementioned colorful fabric device, includes the following steps:

[0031] The mixer mixes multiple materials one by one;

[0032] The transverse device moves the receiving hopper of the fabric unit to below the mixer, and the mixer feeds the material into the receiving hopper of the fabric unit until the weight of the material in the receiving hopper reaches the set weight.

[0033] Various materials are fed one by one into the receiving hopper of the corresponding fabric unit;

[0034] The upper and lower belt conveyors operate synchronously. The rotary drive drives the longitudinal movement device to rotate, while the longitudinal movement device drives the upper belt conveyor to move longitudinally, moving the end of the upper belt conveyor and keeping it above the lower belt conveyor.

[0035] The lateral movement speed at the end of the upper belt conveyor is in the same direction as the lateral movement speed of the lower belt conveyor, and the speeds are the same or the speed difference remains constant.

[0036] In some embodiments, the end of the upper conveyor belt reciprocates longitudinally, and the upper conveyor belt stops operating when the longitudinal moving device rotates to increase the angle between the upper and lower conveyor belts.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, in this embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal movement device is rotated, allowing the upper conveyor belt to rotate on a horizontal plane. This changes the angle between the upper and lower conveyor belts, ensuring that the material falling from the upper conveyor belt has both longitudinal and lateral movement speeds. These two movement speeds are matched with the lateral movement speed of the lower conveyor belt, allowing the material to exhibit various patterns on the lower conveyor belt. Furthermore, multiple upper conveyor belts simultaneously feed material onto the lower conveyor belt, enabling materials of different colors and shapes to be combined and matched on the lower conveyor belt. This results in the formation of corresponding patterns and layers on the final product, satisfying diverse graphic design requirements. This solves the problem that current colorful fabric devices can only achieve uniform mixing of multiple colors and cannot meet diverse graphic design requirements. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0053] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in an illustrative embodiment of the colorful fabric device of the present invention, the colorful fabric device includes a mixer 1, a transverse moving device 2, a receiving hopper 3, a longitudinal moving device 4, a rotary drive 5, an upper belt conveyor 6, and a lower belt conveyor 7.

[0055] A transverse moving device 2 is located below the mixer 1 and is arranged laterally. A receiving hopper 3 is mounted on the transverse moving device 2, which moves the hopper 3 laterally, aligning it with the discharge port of the mixer 1, allowing material discharged from the mixer 1 to fall into the receiving hopper 3. A longitudinal moving device 4 is arranged longitudinally and rotatably mounted on the receiving hopper 3. A rotary drive 5 is mounted on the transverse moving device 2 and drives the longitudinal moving device 4, causing it to rotate horizontally. An upper conveyor belt 6 is arranged longitudinally and mounted on the longitudinal moving device 4, allowing it to rotate with the device. When the longitudinal moving device 4 moves the upper conveyor belt 6 longitudinally, it remains below the receiving hopper 3, ensuring that all material falling from the hopper 3 lands on the upper conveyor belt 6. A lower conveyor belt 7 is located below the upper conveyor belt 6, receiving material falling from it.

[0056] The receiving hopper 3, rotary drive 5, longitudinal transfer device 4, and upper belt conveyor 6 constitute a material distribution unit A. Multiple material distribution units A are arranged at lateral intervals, meaning multiple upper belt conveyors 6 are arranged along the running direction of the lower belt conveyor 7. The receiving hopper 3 has a first frame 31 and a second frame 32 at its top and bottom, respectively. A weight sensor 33 is installed between the first frame 31 and the second frame 32 to weigh the material falling into the receiving hopper 3. The first frame 31 is mounted on the transverse transfer device 2, thereby mounting the receiving hopper 3 onto the transverse transfer device 2. The bottom port of the receiving hopper 3 is in sliding contact with the upper belt conveyor 6.

[0057] The fabric feeding method of the colorful fabric device of the present invention involves the mixer 1 mixing various materials one by one, the transverse moving device 2 moving the receiving hopper 3 of the fabric unit A to below the mixer 1, and the mixer 1 feeding the materials into the receiving hopper 3 of the fabric unit A until the weight of the materials in the receiving hopper 3 reaches the set weight.

[0058] After mixer 1 mixes the material of the first color, the transverse device 2 moves the receiving hopper 3 of the first cloth unit A to below the discharge port of mixer 1. Mixer 1 then feeds the material of the first color into the receiving hopper 3 of the first cloth unit A. During the process of the material entering the receiving hopper 3, the weight sensor 33 continuously weighs the material in the receiving hopper 3. When the weight measured by the weight sensor 33 reaches the corresponding set weight, the discharge port of mixer 1 closes, and the feeding of material into the receiving hopper 3 of the cloth unit A stops. If there is excess material in mixer 1 that has not been discharged, the cloth unit A is moved away from under mixer 1, and mixer 1 discharges the excess material outside the cloth unit A. After mixer 1 is emptied, the mixing of the material of the second color begins. After mixer 1 mixes the material of the second color, the material is fed into the receiving hopper 3 of the second cloth unit A through the alignment of the transverse device 2, until the weight reaches the corresponding set weight.

[0059] Following the above feeding method, various materials are fed one by one into the receiving hopper 3 of the corresponding fabric unit A. That is, the mixer 1 feeds each color of material into the receiving hopper 3 of the corresponding fabric unit A.

[0060] The upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7 operate synchronously. The rotary drive 5 drives the longitudinal transfer device 4 to rotate, and simultaneously, the longitudinal transfer device 4 drives the upper conveyor belt 6 to move longitudinally, moving and holding the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 above the lower conveyor belt 7. Since the material falls from the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 onto the lower conveyor belt 7 as it moves on the upper conveyor belt 6, and the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 remains above the lower conveyor belt 7, it is ensured that all the material falling from the upper conveyor belt 6 lands on the lower conveyor belt 7. When the upper conveyor belt 6 rotates, its end has both lateral and longitudinal movement speeds, thus correspondingly giving the point where the material falls from the upper conveyor belt 6 onto the lower conveyor belt 7 both lateral and longitudinal speeds.

[0061] The upper conveyor belt 6 of each fabric unit A operates, simultaneously feeding the material from the corresponding receiving hopper 3 onto the lower conveyor belt 7. The lower conveyor belt 7 starts operating synchronously with the upper conveyor belt 6. Since the fabric unit A is arranged horizontally, the lower conveyor belt 7 is also arranged horizontally. As the belt of the lower conveyor belt 7 moves from one end to the other, it passes through the upper conveyor belt 6 of each fabric unit A one by one. The material falling from each upper conveyor belt 6 will fall onto the moving belt one by one. That is, when the belt moves from front to back, the material falling from the first upper conveyor belt 6 at the front end falls onto the belt first, and the material falling from the second adjacent upper conveyor belt 6 falls onto the belt second, and spreads on the first layer of material already on the belt. This continues until the belt reaches the rear end, where the material on the belt is spread into multiple layers.

[0062] For a single upper conveyor belt 6 feeding material onto a lower conveyor belt 7, the upper conveyor belt 6 can move longitudinally with the longitudinal moving device 4, changing the relative position of the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7 in the longitudinal direction. With the operating speed of the upper conveyor belt 6 fixed, this changes the longitudinal position of the point where the material falling from the upper conveyor belt 6 lands on the lower conveyor belt 7; for example... Figure 4 As shown, the upper conveyor belt 6 can also change the angle between the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7 as the longitudinal movement device 4 rotates on the horizontal plane, thus changing the lateral position of the material falling from the upper conveyor belt 6 onto the lower conveyor belt 7. Since the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7 are located laterally and longitudinally respectively, and there is an angle between them, by controlling the operating speed of the upper conveyor belt 6, the parabola of the falling material can be changed, which can also change the longitudinal position of the material falling onto the lower conveyor belt 7.

[0063] The lateral movement speed at the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 is in the same direction and has the same magnitude as the lateral movement speed of the lower conveyor belt 7, or the speed difference remains constant. Regarding the lateral and longitudinal movement of the material's landing point on the lower conveyor belt 7, when the lateral movement speed is in the same direction and has the same magnitude as the lateral movement speed of the lower conveyor belt 7, the material will fall onto the lower conveyor belt 7 in a longitudinal straight line; if the lateral movement speed of the landing point is in the same direction as the lateral movement speed of the lower conveyor belt 7 and the difference remains constant, the material will fall onto the lower conveyor belt 7 in an inclined straight line.

[0064] By matching the lateral and longitudinal movement of the material drop point on the upper conveyor belt 6 with the moving speed of the lower conveyor belt 7 in the above manner, various patterns of materials can be arranged on the lower conveyor belt 7. Furthermore, based on the order in which various materials are placed on the lower conveyor belt 7, various layered patterns of materials can be arranged on the lower conveyor belt 7. Combining the pattern patterns and layered patterns will result in even more types of material arrangements.

[0065] After the material is laid out on the lower belt conveyor 7, it can be directly shaped and processed on the lower belt conveyor 7 to produce a product with the same layout as the material. After the material is laid out on the lower belt conveyor 7, it can also be directly pushed to the worktable connected to the lower belt conveyor 7 after leaving the lower belt conveyor 7, and shaped and processed on the worktable to produce a product with the same layout as the material. After the material is laid out on the lower belt conveyor 7, it can also be fed into the shaping machine 8 by the lower belt conveyor, and shaped and processed by the shaping machine 8 to produce a product with the same layout as the material.

[0066] The equipment used for shaping and processing on a moving belt or a fixed platform is existing technology. The innovation of this application does not lie in how to shape and process materials into products.

[0067] In the above illustrative embodiment, the colorful fabric device uses upper conveyor belts of multiple fabric units to distribute material onto lower conveyor belts. A longitudinal transfer device is rotatably installed in each fabric unit, allowing the upper conveyor belt mounted on the device to rotate horizontally, changing the angle between the upper and lower conveyor belts. This ensures that the material falling from the upper conveyor belt lands at a designated point on the lower conveyor belt. The device not only allows for longitudinal movement but also lateral movement. The movement of the material landing point in both directions matches the lateral speed of the lower conveyor belt, ensuring that the material distributed on the lower conveyor belt forms a [missing information - likely a pattern or design]. Multiple structural styles are achieved; furthermore, multiple upper conveyor belts simultaneously feed material onto the lower conveyor belts. Not only can each type of material have a unique structural style on the lower conveyor belts, but the order in which the material falls onto the lower conveyor belts also results in multiple layered structures. This allows the material laid on the lower conveyor belts to exhibit multiple layered and single-layered structural styles, thus creating corresponding styles and layers on the final product. This satisfies diverse graphic design requirements and solves the problem that current colorful fabric devices can only achieve uniform mixing of multiple colors and cannot meet diverse graphic design requirements.

[0068] In addition, the weight sensor 33 weighs the material falling into the receiving hopper 3, thereby controlling the weight of the material put into each fabric unit A, further controlling the ratio of various materials, and achieving the accuracy of fabric distribution.

[0069] Since the bottom port of the receiving hopper 3 is in sliding contact with the upper belt conveyor 6, when the upper belt conveyor 6 stops running, the upper belt conveyor 6 blocks the port of the receiving hopper 3, and the material remains in the receiving hopper 3; when the upper belt conveyor 6 is running, the material in the receiving hopper 3 that is in contact with the upper belt conveyor 6 moves accordingly, and the material is gradually sent out of the receiving hopper 3 by the upper belt conveyor 6 and put onto the lower belt conveyor for distribution.

[0070] The mixer 1 needs to mix different materials one by one and put them into the receiving hopper 3 of each material distribution unit A. The upper belt conveyor 6, which stops running, blocks the receiving hopper 3, which not only prevents material leakage, but also ensures that the material is in the receiving hopper 3. This also makes the weight sensor 33 weigh the material in the receiving hopper 3 more accurately, further improving the accuracy of the proportion of various materials and improving the distribution precision.

[0071] In some embodiments, the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 reciprocates longitudinally, that is, the rotation direction of the longitudinal transfer device 4 changes periodically. When the longitudinal transfer device 4 rotates to increase the angle between the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7, the lateral movement direction of the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 is opposite to the lateral movement direction of the lower conveyor belt 7. At this time, the upper conveyor belt 6 stops running and stops feeding material onto the lower conveyor belt 7. This causes the material fed onto the lower conveyor belt 7 to be arranged in segments, forming a straight line. It also causes the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 to return to the side of the lower conveyor belt 7 away from the fabric unit A. When the longitudinal transfer device 4 is rotated again to reduce the angle between the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7, the end of the upper conveyor belt 6 can have the same lateral movement speed as the lower conveyor belt 7, and the material fed onto the lower conveyor belt 7 is once again in a straight line, further meeting the requirements of diverse graphic designs.

[0072] If the difference in lateral movement speed between the upper conveyor belt 6 and the lower conveyor belt 7 remains constant, and the longitudinal movement is repeated at a constant speed, the material falling onto the lower conveyor belt 7 will form a wavy line. The inclination of the straight line on both sides of the wavy crest will be different. When the lateral movement speeds of the upper and lower conveyor belts are in the same direction, the inclination will be smaller; when the lateral movement speeds of the upper and lower conveyor belts are in opposite directions, the inclination will be larger.

[0073] In some embodiments, the transverse movement device 2 includes a transverse movement guide 23, a first transverse movement bracket 21, a second transverse movement bracket 22, and a transverse movement driver 24.

[0074] Two transverse guide rails 23 are spaced apart, both transversely arranged and parallel to each other. There are two first transverse support brackets 21, each equipped with a first transverse guide wheel 25, which is mounted on its corresponding transverse guide rail 23. There are two second transverse support brackets 22, each equipped with a second transverse guide wheel 26, which is mounted on its corresponding transverse guide rail 23.

[0075] The trolley structure consists of four transverse support brackets and four transverse guide wheels. The two first transverse support brackets 21 and the two second transverse support brackets 22 are all mounted on the first frame 31. The receiving hopper 3 is suspended between the two transverse guide rails 23 by the four transverse guide wheels on the four transverse support brackets. The transverse guide wheels slide on the transverse guide rails 23 to realize the transverse movement of the receiving hopper 3.

[0076] Two transverse guide rails 23 are spaced apart, and the receiving hopper 3 is located between the two transverse guide rails 23, so that the material above can fall into the receiving hopper 3 through the space between the two transverse guide rails 23, ensuring smooth material transfer.

[0077] The transverse drive 24 is mounted on the first transverse support 21 and drives the corresponding first transverse guide wheel 25. Driven by the transverse drive 24, the first transverse guide wheel 25 moves as the driving wheel on the transverse guide rail 23, thus driving the transverse movement of the docking hopper 3. The transverse drive 24 is a device such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine that can provide driving force for the rotation of components; this is prior art, and how to drive the rotation of the transverse guide wheel is not the focus of this application.

[0078] In some embodiments, the longitudinal movement device 4 includes a first longitudinal movement support 41, a second longitudinal movement support 42, and a longitudinal movement driver 43.

[0079] The first longitudinal support 41 is equipped with longitudinal guide rails 45 on both sides along the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal guide rails 45 are arranged longitudinally. The second longitudinal support 42 is equipped with a pair of longitudinal guide wheels 44 on both sides along the longitudinal direction. The two longitudinal guide wheels 44 on the same side are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, so that the four longitudinal guide wheels 44 and the second longitudinal support 42 form a trolley structure. The second longitudinal support 42 is suspended between the two longitudinal guide rails 45 by the four longitudinal guide wheels 44. The longitudinal movement of the second longitudinal support 42 is realized by the rolling of the longitudinal guide wheels 44 on the longitudinal guide rails 45.

[0080] The first longitudinal support 41 is mounted on the receiving hopper 3, thereby mounting the longitudinal conveyor 4 onto the receiving hopper 3. The upper belt conveyor 6 is mounted on the second longitudinal support 42, thereby mounting the upper belt conveyor 6 onto the longitudinal conveyor 4 and enabling it to move longitudinally along with the second longitudinal support 42.

[0081] The longitudinal traverse drive 43 is mounted on the second longitudinal traverse bracket 42 and drives the connected longitudinal traverse guide wheel 44. Driven by the longitudinal traverse drive 43, the longitudinal traverse guide wheel 44 moves as the driving wheel on the longitudinal traverse guide rail 45, thereby driving the longitudinal movement of the upper belt conveyor 6. The longitudinal traverse drive 43 is a device such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine that can provide driving force for the rotation of components; this is prior art, and how to drive the rotation of the longitudinal traverse guide wheel is not the focus of this application.

[0082] In some embodiments, both longitudinal guide rails 45 are located on the bottom surface of the first longitudinal support 41, and both are grooved rails, with the longitudinal guide wheel 44 slidably mounted within the grooved rail. Since the first longitudinal support 41 needs to be rotatably connected to the receiving hopper 3, it cannot be a separate structure, thus preventing the longitudinal guide wheel 44 from extending upwards to the top surface of the longitudinal guide rail 45 to suspend the second longitudinal support 42. The longitudinal guide rail 45 is mounted on the bottom surface, allowing the structural width of the first longitudinal support 41 to be higher, enabling a secure rotatable connection with the receiving hopper. The longitudinal guide rail 45 uses a grooved rail, providing a vertical limiting function, and the longitudinal guide wheel 44 enables the suspension and installation of the second longitudinal support 42.

[0083] In some embodiments, the receiving hopper 3 is provided with a first longitudinal support 41 and a second longitudinal support 42 having a material transfer space 46. The material falling from the port at the bottom of the receiving hopper falls onto the upper belt conveyor 6 through the material transfer space 46, thus preventing the longitudinal support from obstructing the material transfer.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second longitudinal moving support 42 includes two split supports 421 arranged longitudinally at intervals, and the material transfer space 46 is the space between the two split supports 421. The second longitudinal moving support 42 adopts a split structure, which is not only easy to process and manufacture, but also allows the space above the upper belt conveyor 6 to be completely open. The upper belt conveyor 6 can be moved longitudinally to any position, and the material falling from the receiving hopper 3 can fall onto the upper belt conveyor 6, ensuring material transfer.

[0085] In some embodiments, the bottom of the receiving hopper 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 34, which is a cylindrical part of the bottom of the receiving hopper 3. The first longitudinal moving bracket 41 has a mounting hole, and the rotating shaft 34 passes downward through the mounting hole to the first longitudinal moving bracket 41. A limiting ring is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 34, and the outer diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole, so that the first longitudinal moving bracket 41 rests on the limiting ring. The rotating shaft 34 suspends the first longitudinal moving bracket 41 through the limiting ring, realizing the rotational connection between the receiving hopper 3 and the longitudinal moving device 4. The receiving hopper 3 passes through the mounting hole to allow the first longitudinal moving bracket 41 to pass through, so that the material in the receiving hopper 3 can fall onto the upper belt conveyor 6 below the first longitudinal moving bracket 41.

[0086] To improve the smoothness of rotation, a planar bearing can be fitted onto the rotating shaft 34, with the upper and lower surfaces of the planar bearing contacting the first longitudinal support 41 and the limiting ring, respectively.

[0087] In some embodiments, the longitudinal transfer device 4 is equipped with an external gear ring 47, which is coaxial with the receiving hopper 3. A drive gear 51 is mounted on the output end of the rotary driver 5, and the drive gear 51 meshes with the external gear ring 47. Through gear transmission, the rotary driver 5 drives the external gear ring 47 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the longitudinal transfer device 4. The longitudinal transfer device 4 rotates around the receiving hopper 3, thereby ensuring that the upper conveyor belt 6 is always aligned with the receiving hopper 3 when moving longitudinally, and that all the material falling from the receiving hopper 3 can fall onto the upper conveyor belt 6, avoiding material spillage. The rotary driver 5 is a device such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine that can provide driving force for the rotation of components, which is prior art. How to achieve the drive of the external gear ring rotation is not the inventive point of this application.

[0088] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0089] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in the present invention.
