Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of screw conveyor technology, and particularly relates to a double vertical screw conveyor and its conveying method. Background Technology

[0002] When using a screw conveyor to transport wet materials, due to the viscous effect, the materials are prone to agglomeration and clumping during the conveying process. The presence of agglomeration and clumping will reduce the effective conveying cross section of the conveying chamber, leading to blockage and affecting the smoothness and efficiency of the screw conveyor in transporting wet materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a double vertical screw conveyor and a method for conveying wet materials. By setting a cutting device in the conveying chamber, the cutting part of the cutting device can rotate with the rotating part and rotate around the screw shaft to cut the wet materials, thereby avoiding the blockage of the conveying chamber due to material agglomeration, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, and improving the material conveying efficiency.

[0004] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a double vertical screw conveyor, comprising a screw conveyor and a cutting device disposed within the conveying chamber of the screw conveyor; the cutting device comprises a support shaft fixedly connected to the blades, a rotating component rotatably connected to the support shaft, and a cutting component disposed on the rotating component; the rotating component contacts the inner wall of the conveying chamber, and the rotating component, driven by the rotating screw shaft, rotates through frictional contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber, causing the cutting component to follow the rotation of the rotating component and rotate circumferentially around the screw shaft to cut the wet material.

[0005] Furthermore, the rotating component is a roller parallel to the axis of the helical shaft, the surface of the roller is in contact with the inner wall of the conveying cavity, and the inner wall of the conveying cavity is supported by the surface of the roller.

[0006] Furthermore, the cutting element is a cutting blade arranged in a circumferential array on the side of the roller, and the cutting blade extends along the axial direction of the roller to the two sides of the distribution roller in the length direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the cutting device is arranged near the feed inlet and discharge outlet of the screw conveyor.

[0008] Furthermore, the screw conveyor has a pair, which are arranged side by side in a vertical orientation and fixed relative to each other to form a double vertical screw conveyor structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the top port of the conveying chamber of the screw conveyor is sealed by a top bearing assembly, and the bottom port is sealed by a bottom bearing assembly.

[0010] A method for conveying wet materials using a double vertical screw conveyor involves starting the screw conveyor to transport the wet material. The wet material enters the conveying chamber through the inlet, and under the drive of the blades, the wet material is conveyed upwards along the conveying chamber and then discharged through the outlet. During this conveying process:

[0011] When the initial wet material enters the conveying chamber through the feed inlet, the conveying effect is temporarily poor due to the empty state of the conveying chamber. The material initially entering the conveying chamber will slip, thus forming a material accumulation effect at the bottom of the conveying chamber. This makes the wet material easy to clump near the feed inlet, causing blockage and affecting the continuous entry of material.

[0012] At this time, in the cutting device near the feed inlet, the rotating component driven by the rotating screw shaft rotates by friction contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber, causing the cutting component to rotate with the rotating component and rotate around the screw shaft, cutting and breaking up the wet material that is clumped near the feed inlet, avoiding the wet material from clumping and blocking the conveying chamber, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, and improving the material conveying efficiency.

[0013] When wet material is conveyed along the conveying chamber to the discharge port, the wet material waiting to be discharged at the top obstructs the subsequent wet material that is rapidly advancing to the discharge port. As a result, a material accumulation effect will form at the top of the conveying chamber, making it easy for the wet material to clump together near the discharge port, causing blockage and affecting the continuous discharge of material.

[0014] At this time, in the cutting device near the discharge port, the rotating component driven by the rotating screw shaft rotates by friction contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber, causing the cutting component to rotate with the rotating component and rotate around the screw shaft. This cuts and breaks up the wet material that has clumped near the discharge port, preventing the wet material from clumping and blocking the conveying chamber, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, and improving the efficiency of material conveying.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The present invention, through the setting of a cutting device in the conveying cavity, in the cutting device, the rotating spiral shaft drives the rotating component to rotate by friction contact with the inner wall of the conveying cavity, so that the cutting component follows the rotating component to rotate and rotates around the spiral shaft to cut the wet material, thereby avoiding the blockage of the conveying cavity due to material agglomeration, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, improving material conveying efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale promotion and application.

[0020] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] When using a screw conveyor to transport wet materials, due to the viscous effect, the materials are prone to agglomeration and clumping during the conveying process. The presence of agglomeration and clumping will reduce the effective conveying cross section of the conveying chamber, leading to blockage and affecting the smoothness and efficiency of the screw conveyor in transporting wet materials.

[0022] To solve the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this invention is as follows: Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a double vertical screw conveyor includes a screw conveyor 1 and a cutting device 2 disposed in the conveying chamber 10 of the screw conveyor 1. The cutting device 2 includes a support shaft 21 fixedly connected to a blade 11, a rotating component 22 rotatably connected to the support shaft 21, and a cutting component 23 disposed on the rotating component 22. The rotating component 22 contacts the inner wall of the conveying chamber 10. Driven by the rotating screw shaft 12, the rotating component 22 rotates through frictional contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber 10, causing the cutting component 23 to rotate with the rotating component 22 and rotate circumferentially around the screw shaft 12 to cut wet materials. This avoids material agglomeration and blockage of the conveying chamber, ensures smooth material conveying, and improves material conveying efficiency.

[0023] In this invention, preferably, the rotating component 22 is a roller parallel to the axis of the helical shaft 12. The wheel surface of the roller is in contact with the inner wall of the conveying cavity 10. The inner wall of the conveying cavity 10 is supported by the wheel surface of the roller. Thus, the roller also supports the helical shaft 12, improves structural stability, ensures that the helical shaft 12 and the outer shell of the screw conveyor 1 remain coaxial, and avoids affecting normal conveying operations.

[0024] In this invention, preferably, the cutting element 23 is a cutting blade arranged in a circumferential array on the side of the roller. In order to improve the coverage of the material being cut, the cutting blade extends along the axial direction of the roller to the two sides of the roller, thereby expanding the effective cutting range of the cutting blade.

[0025] Since wet materials are prone to clumping near the inlet 1a and outlet 1b, the cutting device 2 is arranged near the inlet 1a and outlet 1b of the screw conveyor 1. Of course, the cutting device 2 can also be installed in other positions within the conveying chamber 10.

[0026] The screw conveyor 1 is a pair, which are arranged side by side in a vertical orientation and fixed to each other to form a double vertical screw conveying structure, which can improve the conveying capacity. More specifically, the outer shells of the pair of screw conveyors 1 are connected and fixed together by a connecting plate 17.

[0027] The double vertical screw conveyor structure has a gearbox 13 and a drive unit 14 located at the driving force input end. The drive unit 14 drives the screw shaft 12 connected to the screw conveyor 1 via the gearbox 13. The drive unit 14 is preferably a cycloidal pinwheel reducer motor. The efficiency of a cycloidal pinwheel reducer motor can typically reach over 96%, so its energy consumption is lower than other reduction methods at the same output power.

[0028] The top port of the conveying chamber 10 of the screw conveyor 1 is sealed by the top bearing assembly 15, and the bottom port is sealed by the bottom bearing assembly 16.

[0029] A method for conveying wet materials using a double vertical screw conveyor: The screw conveyor 1 is started to convey wet materials. The wet materials enter the conveying chamber 10 through the inlet 1a. Driven by the blades 11, the wet materials are conveyed upward along the conveying chamber 10 and then discharged through the outlet 1b. During this conveying process:

[0030] When the initial wet material enters the conveying chamber 10 through the feed inlet 1a, the conveying effect is temporarily poor due to the empty state of the conveying chamber 10. The material initially entering the conveying chamber 10 will slip, thus forming a material accumulation effect at the bottom of the conveying chamber 10. This makes the wet material easy to clump near the feed inlet 1a, causing blockage and affecting the continuous entry of material.

[0031] At this time, in the cutting device 2 near the feed inlet 1a, the rotating part 22 driven by the rotating screw shaft 12 rotates by friction contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber 10, causing the cutting part 23 to rotate with the rotating part 22 and rotate around the screw shaft 12, cutting and crushing the wet material that is clumped near the feed inlet 1a, avoiding the wet material from clumping and blocking the conveying chamber 10, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, and improving the material conveying efficiency.

[0032] When wet material is conveyed along the conveying chamber 10 to the discharge port 1b, the wet material to be discharged at the top obstructs the subsequent wet material that is rapidly advancing to the discharge port 1b. As a result, a material accumulation effect will form at the top of the conveying chamber 10, making it easy for the wet material to clump together near the discharge port 1b, causing blockage and affecting the continuous discharge of material.

[0033] At this time, in the cutting device 2 near the discharge port 1b, the rotating component 22 driven by the rotating screw shaft 12 rotates by friction contact with the inner wall of the conveying chamber 10, causing the cutting component 23 to rotate with the rotating component 22 and rotate around the screw shaft 12, cutting and crushing the wet material that has clumped near the discharge port 1b, preventing the wet material from clumping and blocking the conveying chamber 10, ensuring the smoothness of material conveying, and improving the material conveying efficiency.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
