Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of eco-stone production equipment technology, and in particular to a continuous feeding system for dry eco-stone fabrication. Background Technology
[0002] Eco-stone is a new type of decorative material that uses existing industrial solid waste or mine tailings as its main raw materials and employs a non-fired molding process to achieve patterns and textures similar to natural stone or other specific materials. Eco-stone retains the noble and elegant qualities of natural stone while overcoming common defects such as pores, cracks, color variations, and radioactivity. Given these advantages, eco-stone is widely favored and has a promising market prospect.
[0003] With the continuous development of society and economy, people have higher and higher requirements for the natural effect and texture of ecological stone products. This requires that in the process of processing ecological stone raw materials, a variety of texture materials (each texture material is composed of one or more monochrome materials) need to be prepared, and multiple texture materials need to be applied multiple times (3-6 times) to make the ecological stone products achieve the desired natural effect and texture.
[0004] Because most eco-stone products on the market currently have relatively simple textures and patterns, typically requiring only one or two layers of material application, the powder supply systems used by most eco-stone manufacturers can only formulate one or two texture materials, making it difficult to continuously formulate multiple texture materials. Furthermore, when multiple texture materials need to be formulated, the current powder supply system requires storing a portion of the formulated texture material in a storage silo before continuing to formulate multiple texture materials sequentially. This makes continuous material supply difficult, leading not only to reduced production efficiency but also because eco-stone is produced using a pressing, non-fired molding process. During application and pressing, the texture material must be in a semi-moist state with a certain moisture content. If the moisture content is too low, it will affect the application and pressing effects. Therefore, storing the texture material in a storage silo places high demands on the storage equipment; improper storage can lead to moisture loss from the silo, making silo storage extremely difficult. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to propose a continuous feeding system for dry-process ecological stone fabrication, which enables continuous feeding, improves the production efficiency of ecological stone, and eliminates the need for storage of the resulting textured material, thereby reducing the difficulty of powder storage.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A continuous feeding system for dry-process ecological stone fabric includes a feeding device, several mixing devices, and several moisture-retaining conveying devices. The feeding device includes several transfer hopper feeding lines and several feeding belts. Each moisture-retaining conveying device has a corresponding mixing device connected to its inlet end. Each moisture-retaining conveying device has a feeding belt located below its outlet end, and the outlet end of the moisture-retaining conveying device corresponds to the receiving end of the feeding belt. Each mixing device is used to prepare a single-color material, and the feeding belt is used to transport the single-color material to the transfer hopper.
[0008] Each of the aforementioned transfer hopper delivery lines has a transfer hopper that moves along the transfer hopper delivery line. The transfer hopper delivery line has at least one loading station and several unloading stations. The unloading station is equipped with a receiving hopper. The discharge end of one of the feeding belts is located above one of the loading stations. The transfer hopper receives the single-color material transported from the discharge end of one of the feeding belts at one of the loading stations and transfers the single-color material to the receiving hopper at one of the unloading stations. The single-color material is then guided into the material distribution hopper of an external material distribution machine through the receiving hopper.
[0009] The bottom of the transfer hopper is connected to an opening and closing assembly, which is used to close and open the discharge port of the transfer hopper. The opening and closing assembly includes a sliding frame and a gate. The gate is fixedly installed in the middle of the sliding frame, and a discharge space is formed between the end of the gate and the end of the sliding frame. Both ends of the sliding frame have the discharge space.
[0010] The sliding frame is slidably installed at the bottom of the transfer hopper. The sliding frame slides so that the gate and the discharge slot correspond to the positions of the discharge port of the transfer hopper, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper is closed and opened. The receiving hopper is located below the travel path of the sliding frame.
[0011] Each of the unloading stations is equipped with a liftable unloading gate device, and the unloading gate device is installed on the side of the receiving hopper away from the loading station. When the unloading gate device is raised, it blocks the moving sliding frame, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper moves from the gate to the discharge space.
[0012] The loading station is equipped with a liftable loading gate device. When the loading gate device is raised, it blocks both sides of the sliding frame. The transfer hopper is driven to move by the transfer hopper delivery line, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper moves from the discharge space to the gate.
[0013] Furthermore, the unloading and opening device includes a first tilting seat, a first tilting arm, a first lifting cylinder, and a first angle limiting frame. The first tilting seat is connected to the transfer hopper delivery line. One end of the first tilting arm is hinged to the first tilting seat, and a first blocking block is fixedly installed at the other end of the first tilting arm. The first lifting cylinder is located below the first tilting arm, and the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder corresponds to the position of the first tilting arm.
[0014] The first tilting seat, the first tilting arm, and the first lifting cylinder are respectively located below the travel path of the sliding frame. When the extension end of the first lifting cylinder is in the retracted state, the first tilting arm is tilted downward, causing the first blocking block to descend below the travel path of the sliding frame. When the extension end of the first lifting cylinder is in the extended state, the first lifting cylinder drives the first tilting arm to rise, causing the first blocking block to rise. The position of the first blocking block after it rises corresponds to the position of the sliding frame, so that the first blocking block after it rises blocks the sliding frame.
[0015] The first angle limiting frame is in the shape of an inverted "U". The opening of the first angle limiting frame is fixedly installed on the first flipping base with the opening facing downward. The end of the first flipping arm near the first flipping base is accommodated in the first angle limiting frame.
[0016] The first angle limiting frame is located below the walking trajectory of the sliding frame.
[0017] Furthermore, the transfer hopper delivery line includes a drive device for driving the transfer hopper to move along the transfer hopper delivery line. The loading gate device includes two push components arranged in a mirror image, with the two push components located on both sides of the loading station. The two push components are used to block both ends of the sliding frame, fixing the position of the sliding frame. The drive device drives the transfer hopper to move, causing the discharge port of the transfer hopper to move from the discharge space to the gate.
[0018] The pushing assembly includes a second tilting seat, a second tilting arm, a second lifting cylinder, a second blocking block, and a connecting plate. The second tilting seat is connected to the mounting rod of the transfer hopper delivery line. One end of the second tilting arm is hinged to the second tilting seat, and the other end of the second tilting arm is connected to the connecting plate. The second blocking block is mounted on the connecting plate. The second lifting cylinder is mounted on the mounting rod of the transfer hopper delivery line, and the second lifting cylinder is located below the second tilting arm.
[0019] The blocking end of the second blocking block faces the second flip base, and the blocking end of the second blocking block is equipped with a sensor;
[0020] The second tilting seat, the second tilting arm, and the second lifting cylinder are respectively located below the travel path of the sliding frame. When the extension end of the second lifting cylinder is in the retracted state, the second tilting arm is tilted downward, causing the second blocking block to descend below the travel path of the sliding frame. When the extension end of the second lifting cylinder is in the extended state, the second lifting cylinder drives the second tilting arm to rise, causing the second blocking block to rise. The position of the second blocking block after it rises corresponds to the position of the sliding frame, so that the second blocking block after it rises blocks one side of the sliding frame.
[0021] The distance between the two second blocking blocks of the two mirror-symmetrically arranged push components after they rise corresponds to the length of the sliding frame, so that the two second blocking blocks after they rise are used to block the two sides of the sliding frame respectively.
[0022] Furthermore, guide wheels are installed on both sides of the discharge port of the transfer hopper, the rotation axis of the guide wheel is vertically arranged relative to the sliding frame, and the wheel surface of the guide wheel is provided with a guide groove;
[0023] Both sides of the sliding frame are fixedly provided with first guide bars, and the two first guide bars extend into the guide grooves of the guide wheel respectively;
[0024] Limiting strips are provided at both ends of the sliding frame.
[0025] Furthermore, the moisturizing conveying device includes a spraying device, a water mist cover, and a conveying device; the water mist cover is installed on the top of the conveying section of the conveying device, and the water mist cover and the top surface of the conveying section together form a moisturizing area; the spraying device is located in the center of the moisturizing area, and the spraying device extends from one end of the moisturizing area to the other end.
[0026] The water mist hood includes an arc-shaped top plate and two side plates, which are symmetrically arranged. The top edge of the side plate is connected to the bottom edge of the arc-shaped top plate, and the bottom edge of the side plate is outside the conveyor belt of the conveying section. The bottom of the side plate is fixed to the transport device. The spraying device sprays water towards the arc-shaped top plate.
[0027] Furthermore, the moisturizing delivery device also includes a water mist cloth, which covers the outside of the water mist cover;
[0028] The water mist cover has densely arranged air vents;
[0029] The transport device is fixedly connected with multiple fixing strips, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water mist cover; the spray device is provided with a connector, which is connected to the vent, thus confining the spray device to the center of the moisturizing area.
[0030] Furthermore, the spraying device includes a water mist transmission pipe and a water mist nozzle; the water mist transmission pipe is located in the center of the moisturizing area, and the water mist transmission pipe extends from one end of the moisturizing area to the other end;
[0031] The top of the water mist transmission pipe is equipped with several water mist nozzles, and the nozzles of the water mist nozzles face the arc-shaped top plate.
[0032] The spraying device also includes a water atomizer and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is arranged vertically, the output end of the water atomizer is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe, and the top end of the connecting pipe is connected to the end of the water mist transmission pipe.
[0033] Furthermore, the mixing device includes a first drive mechanism, a fixed component, a belt conveyor component, a rotating drum, a second drive mechanism, and a claw-type rotating component; the rotating drum is rotatably disposed within the fixed component, and the first drive mechanism is drivenly connected to the rotating drum;
[0034] The claw-type rotating component is located inside the rotating drum. The second driving mechanism is installed on the top of the fixed component. After the driving end of the second driving mechanism passes through the fixed component, it is driven to connect with the claw-type rotating component. The top end of the claw-type rotating component is close to the top of the rotating drum, and the bottom end of the claw-type rotating component is close to the bottom of the rotating drum.
[0035] The claw-type rotating component and the rotating drum rotate in opposite directions; the top of the fixed component has the inlet; the center of the bottom of the rotating drum and the center of the bottom of the fixed component are respectively provided with outlets, the two outlets are opposite to each other and form an outlet channel, the outlet channel is located above the belt conveyor component.
[0036] The above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:
[0037] The continuous feeding system of this technical solution is equipped with several mixing devices, several moisturizing conveying devices, and several feeding devices. The feeding devices include several transfer hopper distribution lines and several feeding belts. Each transfer hopper distribution line has at least one loading station. Multiple monochrome materials can be prepared simultaneously through several mixing devices. Since the mixing devices, moisturizing conveying devices, and feeding belts are connected in sequence, multiple monochrome materials can be transported to different loading stations. Through the cooperation of multiple transfer hoppers, the monochrome materials can be transported to the receiving hoppers of different unloading stations to complete the batching. Furthermore, the discharge end of the receiving hopper of this technical solution can be directly connected to the inlet end of the spreading equipment. In the spreading equipment, multiple monochrome materials from the same batching station are mixed to form a textured material, which can then be spread. Therefore, the continuous feeding system using this technical solution can simultaneously prepare multiple monochrome materials. Furthermore, the mixing equipment, moisture-retaining conveying equipment, feeding belt, and distribution equipment in this technical solution are sequentially connected, enabling continuous feeding. There is no need to store monochrome or textured materials, significantly improving production efficiency. The prepared textured materials do not require storage and can be promptly fed into the spreading equipment, eliminating the need for textured material storage and reducing storage difficulties. Simultaneously, the textured materials in this continuous feeding system can be prepared as needed, and multiple monochrome materials can be combined to form various textured materials, making the color variations of the eco-stone more flexible and creating rich textured effects.

Detailed Implementation
[0057] The following is combined Figures 1 to 16 This invention provides a detailed description of the continuous feeding system for dry-process eco-stone fabric according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0058] A continuous feeding system for dry-process ecological stone fabric includes a feeding device B, several mixing devices A, and several moisture-retaining conveying devices D. The feeding device B includes several transfer hopper feeding lines B5 and several feeding belts B9. Each moisture-retaining conveying device D has a corresponding mixing device A connected to its inlet end. Each moisture-retaining conveying device D has a feeding belt B9 located below its outlet end, and the outlet end of the moisture-retaining conveying device D and the receiving end of the feeding belt B9 correspond to each other. Each mixing device A is used to prepare a single-color material, and the feeding belt B9 is used to transport the single-color material to the transfer hopper B1.
[0059] Each of the aforementioned transfer hopper delivery lines B5 has a transfer hopper B1, which moves back and forth along the transfer hopper delivery line B5. The transfer hopper delivery line B5 has at least one loading station B52 and several unloading stations B51. The unloading station B51 is equipped with a receiving hopper B511. The discharge end of a feeding belt B9 is located above a loading station B52. The transfer hopper B1 receives the single-color material transported from the discharge end of the feeding belt B9 at a loading station B52 and transfers the single-color material to the receiving hopper B511 of the unloading station B51. The single-color material is then guided into the material hopper of an external material spreading machine through the receiving hopper B511. Multiple unloading stations B51 located at corresponding positions on different transfer hopper delivery lines B5 form a batching station B53. The material distribution equipment B is equipped with multiple batching stations B53.
[0060] The bottom of the transfer hopper B1 is provided with an opening and closing assembly B4, which is used to close and open the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. The opening and closing assembly B4 includes a sliding frame B41 and a gate B42. The gate B42 is fixedly installed in the middle of the sliding frame B41. A discharge space B43 is formed between the end of the gate B42 and the end of the sliding frame B41. Both ends of the sliding frame B41 have the discharge space B43.
[0061] The sliding frame B41 is slidably installed at the bottom of the transfer hopper B1. The sliding frame B41 slides so that the gate B42 and the discharge slot B43 correspond to the positions of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1, thereby closing and opening the discharge port of the transfer hopper. The receiving hopper B511 is located below the travel path of the sliding frame B41.
[0062] Each unloading station B51 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor and a liftable unloading gate device B2. The unloading gate device B2 is installed on the side of the receiving hopper B511 away from the loading station B52. When the unloading gate device B2 is raised, it blocks the sliding frame B41 below the moving transfer hopper, causing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to move from the gate plate B42 to the discharge space B43, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 changes from a closed state to an open state, that is, the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is opened, thereby unloading.
[0063] Each of the loading stations B52 is equipped with a liftable loading gate device B3. When the transfer hopper B1 arrives at the loading station B52, the loading gate device B3 rises to block both sides of the sliding frame B41. The transfer hopper B1 is driven to move by the transfer hopper delivery line B5, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 moves from the discharge space B43 to the gate plate B42, thereby closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper.
[0064] It is worth noting that the continuous feeding system of this technical solution is equipped with several mixing devices A, several moisturizing conveying devices D, and feeding devices B. The feeding devices B include several transfer hopper feeding lines B5 and several feeding belts B9. Each transfer hopper feeding line B5 has at least one loading station B52. Multiple monochrome materials can be prepared simultaneously through several mixing devices A. Since the mixing devices A, moisturizing conveying devices D, feeding belts B9, and feeding devices B are connected in sequence, multiple monochrome materials can be transported to different loading stations B52. Through the cooperation of multiple transfer hoppers B1, the monochrome materials can be transported to the receiving hoppers B511 of different unloading stations B51 to complete the batching. Furthermore, the discharge end of the receiving hopper B511 of this technical solution can be directly connected to the inlet end of the fabric spreading equipment. After multiple monochrome materials at the same batching station B53 are mixed to form a textured material in the fabric spreading equipment, the fabric can be spread. Therefore, the continuous feeding system using this technical solution can simultaneously prepare multiple monochrome materials. Furthermore, based on the sequential connection of the mixing device A, the moisture-retaining conveying device D, the feeding belt B9, and the distribution device B in this technical solution, continuous feeding can be achieved, eliminating the need to store monochrome and textured materials. This significantly improves production efficiency. The prepared textured materials do not require storage and can be promptly fed into the spreading equipment, eliminating the need for textured material storage equipment and reducing storage difficulties. Simultaneously, the textured materials in this continuous feeding system can be prepared as needed, and multiple monochrome materials can be combined in various ways to form different textured materials, making the color variations of the eco-stone more flexible and creating rich textured effects.
[0065] Further explanation: The continuous feeding system using this technical solution can simultaneously prepare multiple monochrome materials and achieve continuous feeding, significantly improving production efficiency. Moreover, the prepared monochrome materials do not require storage and can be promptly fed into the fabric feeding equipment, eliminating the storage step of monochrome materials and reducing the storage difficulty. At the same time, the textured materials in the continuous feeding system of this invention can be prepared as needed, and multiple monochrome materials can be combined in various ways to form multiple textured materials with different color combinations, making the color changes of the eco-stone more flexible and forming rich textured color effects.
[0066] It is worth noting that in this technical solution, the number of transfer hoppers B1 is less than the number of single-color materials. Multiple single-color materials, either the same or different, are selected by multiple transfer hoppers B1 and transported to multiple receiving hoppers B511 at the batching station for batching, thus completing the batching process. In this technical solution, each transfer hopper B1 has an independent transfer hopper delivery line B5, ensuring that the batching process of the transfer hoppers B1 does not interfere with each other. This allows multiple transfer hoppers B1 to transport single-color materials to different receiving hoppers B511 at designated batching stations during batching, thereby completing the batching process. At the same time, the discharge end of the receiving hopper B511 is connected to the mixing device of the material spreading equipment. After mixing, textured material is obtained. The material spreading equipment B of this technical solution can simultaneously prepare multiple textured materials, significantly improving batching efficiency. The multiple textured materials prepared using this technical solution are spread multiple times, making the surface pattern and texture of the resulting eco-stone more consistent with the pattern and texture of natural stone, resulting in a better natural imitation effect.
[0067] It is worth noting that this technical solution does not include a power mechanism for opening and closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. Instead, it uses a non-powered opening and closing component B4, making the overall weight of the transfer hopper B1 lighter and reducing the requirements for the transfer hopper distribution line B5. With the same drive power, the transfer hopper B1 achieves higher material dispensing efficiency, further improving dispensing efficiency. Furthermore, since this technical solution does not include a drive component on the transfer hopper B1 (i.e., it does not include a cylinder or servo motor to drive the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to open or close), the unloading gate opening device B2 and the loading gate closing device B3 are installed on the transfer hopper distribution line B5. This makes the movement of the transfer hopper B1 smoother, prevents electrical wires and air supply lines from interfering with the movement of the transfer hopper B1, and reduces the control difficulty of the entire material dispensing equipment.
[0068] Specifically, this solution includes a sliding frame B41 installed at the bottom of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. The sliding frame B41 has two discharge slots B43 and a gate B42 that blocks the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. During loading, the gate B42 of the sliding frame B41 is positioned below the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1, blocking it. Since the opening and closing assembly B4 does not have a power mechanism, during material transport, the transfer hopper B1 drives the opening and closing assembly B4 to move synchronously, ensuring that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is always blocked during transport, preventing material from falling during conveying. During discharge, one of the discharge slots B43 of the sliding frame B41 corresponds to the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1, meaning the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is opened, allowing the material in the transfer hopper B1 to flow out.
[0069] The principle of the opening and closing component B4 of this technical solution for closing and opening the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is as follows: The opening and closing component B4 includes a sliding frame B41 and a gate plate B42. The gate plate B42 is fixedly installed in the middle of the sliding frame, and a discharge space B43 is formed between the end of the gate plate B42 and the end of the sliding frame B41. Both ends of the sliding frame B41 have discharge spaces B43. Since the sliding frame B41 is slidably installed at the bottom of the transfer hopper B1, when the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 corresponds to the position of the gate plate B42, the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is blocked, thus closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1, which can be used for receiving and transporting materials; when the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 corresponds to the discharge space B43, the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is opened, and the material in the transfer hopper B1 can be unloaded into the designated receiving hopper B511. After the transfer hopper B1 receives material, the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 corresponds to the position of the gate B42, thus closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. The drive device then transports the transfer hopper B1 to the receiving hopper B511 at the designated batching station B51. During the movement of the transfer hopper B1, the sliding frame B41 and the transfer hopper B1 move synchronously, ensuring that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 remains blocked. Since the receiving hopper B511 is equipped with a discharge gate opening device B2 on the side away from the loading station B52, and the discharge station B51 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor, when the photoelectric sensor detects the sliding frame B41... As the material approaches the receiving hopper B511, the unloading gate device B2 rises, blocking the sliding frame B41 and stopping its movement. At this time, the transfer hopper B1 continues to move, driven by the transfer hopper distribution line B5, causing displacement between the transfer hopper B1 and the sliding frame B41, making it impossible to maintain synchronous movement. Driven by the transfer hopper distribution line B5, the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 moves from the position of the gate plate B42 to the discharge empty position B43, opening the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. The material in the transfer hopper B1 falls through the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to the designated receiving hopper B511, completing the unloading process.After unloading, the transfer hopper B1 is moved to the loading station B52 by the transfer hopper delivery line B5, ready for the next material receiving. Since the loading gate device B3 is vertically mounted at the loading station B52 and is located below the feeding belt B9, when the transfer hopper B1 moves to the loading station B52, the loading gate device B3 rises, blocking both sides of the sliding frame B41 and fixing its position. At this time, the transfer hopper delivery line B5 stops driving, and the transfer hopper B1 continues to move forward under inertia until it contacts the sliding frame. When the material reaches the end of frame B41, the transfer hopper B1 stops moving. At this time, the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 corresponds to the discharge empty space B43. The transfer hopper B1 is driven to move in the opposite direction by the transfer hopper delivery line B5, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 moves from the discharge empty space B43 to the gate plate B42. The discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is blocked, and the loading gate device B3 descends, so that the material in the feeding belt B9 can be spilled into the transfer hopper B1. After loading is completed, the transfer hopper B1 can continue to move by the transfer hopper delivery line B5 until it reaches the designated unloading station B51.
[0070] It is worth noting that the unloading gate opening device B2 described in this technical solution is installed on the side of the receiving hopper B511 away from the loading station B52. That is, when the receiving hopper B511 is located on the left side of the loading station B52, the unloading gate opening device B2 is set on the left side of the receiving hopper B511; when the receiving hopper B511 is located on the right side of the loading station B52, the unloading gate opening device B2 is set on the right side of the receiving hopper B511. This allows the raised unloading gate opening device B2 to block the moving sliding frame B41.
[0071] It should be noted that this technical solution includes a material level detection component above the loading station B52, positioned above the travel path of the transfer hopper. When the transfer hopper receives material, the material level detection component detects the powder level height inside the hopper and outputs a material level detection signal. When the material level in the transfer hopper reaches the set height, the control system receives the material level detection signal from the component, causing the feeding belt B9 to stop discharging. The amount of powder in the transfer hopper is the required amount, thereby controlling the proportion of each monochrome material in the textured material. The material level detection component in this technical solution can be purchased commercially, as long as it can measure the height from the top surface of the transfer hopper after loading to the material level detection component.
[0072] Preferably, the feeding belt B9 is a belt conveyor that drops materials into the transfer hopper B1 via the belt.
[0073] Preferably, the continuous feeding system for the dry-process ecological stone fabric of this technical solution includes four mixing devices A, four moisture-retaining conveying devices D, and a material distribution device B including three transfer hopper distribution lines B5 and four feeding belts B9. The material distribution device B has five batching stations, each batching station has three unloading stations B51, and each unloading station B51 corresponds to a receiving hopper.
[0074] Preferably, the continuous feeding system of this technical solution further includes multiple powder dispersing devices. Each moisture-retaining conveyor D has a powder dispersing device located below its discharge end, and the discharge end of the powder dispersing device is connected to the inlet end of the feeding belt B9. The powder dispersing device disperses the single-color material exiting the moisture-retaining conveyor D, making the powder more uniform and preventing clumping. The dispersed single-color material falls onto the belt and is then transported via a transfer hopper to the unloading station B51 for unloading into an external material spreading device, facilitating subsequent material spreading. The powder dispersing device in this technical solution is a commonly used powder dispersing device in the field of eco-stone preparation. For example, it could be the eco-stone powder crushing and homogenizing device disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 202111582265.3.
[0075] Further explanation: The unloading gate opening device B2 includes a first tilting seat B21, a first tilting arm B22, a first lifting cylinder B23, and a first angle limiting frame B25. The first tilting seat B21 is connected to the transfer hopper delivery line B5. One end of the first tilting arm B22 is hinged to the first tilting seat B21, and the other end of the first tilting arm B22 is fixedly installed with a first blocking block B24. The first lifting cylinder B23 is located below the first tilting arm B22, and the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23 corresponds to the position of the first tilting arm B22.
[0076] The first flipping seat B21, the first flipping arm B22, and the first lifting cylinder B23 are respectively located below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. When the extension end of the first lifting cylinder B23 is in the retracted state, the first flipping arm B22 is tilted downward, causing the first blocking block B24 to descend below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. When the extension end of the first lifting cylinder B23 is in the extended state, the first lifting cylinder B23 drives the first flipping arm B22 to rise, causing the first blocking block B24 to rise. The position of the first blocking block B24 after rising corresponds to the position of the sliding frame B41, so that the first blocking block B24 after rising blocks the sliding frame B41.
[0077] The first angle limiting frame B25 is in the shape of an inverted "U". The opening of the first angle limiting frame B25 is fixedly installed on the first flip base B21 with the opening facing downward. The end of the first flip arm B22 near the first flip base B21 is accommodated in the first angle limiting frame B25.
[0078] The first angle limiting frame B25 is located below the walking trajectory of the sliding frame B41.
[0079] This technical solution uses a discharge gate opening device B2 to cause relative displacement between the sliding frame B41 and the transfer hopper B1, thereby achieving the effect of opening the valve. The discharge gate opening device B2 includes a first tilting seat B21, a first tilting arm B22, and a first lifting cylinder B23. When one end of the sliding frame B41 approaches the receiving hopper B511, the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23 lifts upward, causing the first blocking block B24 to move upward. The upward-moving first blocking block B24 can prevent the sliding frame B41 from moving further. At this time, the transfer hopper B1 will continue to move towards the receiving hopper B511 under the drive of the drive device until the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 moves from the gate plate B42 to the discharge empty position B43, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is opened, thereby allowing the material in the transfer hopper B1 to flow out, completing the discharge.
[0080] It is worth noting that in this technical solution, the first tilting seat B21, the first tilting arm B22, and the first lifting cylinder B23 are all located below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. Furthermore, when the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23 is in the retracted state, since the first tilting arm B22 is hinged to the first tilting seat B21, it naturally tilts downwards under gravity, blocking the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23. This causes the entire first blocking block B24 to descend below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. At this time, the entire unloading gate opening device B2 is located below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. Therefore, when the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23 is in the retracted state, the entire unloading gate opening device B2 does not affect the movement of the transfer hopper B1. When the transfer hopper B1 reaches the designated receiving hopper B511, the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder B23 corresponding to the designated receiving hopper B511 extends upward. Driven by the first lifting cylinder B23, the first tilting arm B22 rises upward, driving the first blocking block B24 to rise upward. Based on the position of the first blocking block B24 after it rises and the position of the sliding frame B41's travel trajectory, the first blocking block B24 after rising can block the moving sliding frame B41, causing the sliding frame B41 to stop moving. At this time, driven by the driving device, the transfer hopper B1 and the sliding frame B41 move relative to each other. The transfer hopper B1 moves on the sliding frame B41, causing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to move from the gate plate B42 to the discharge empty position B43 for discharging. Therefore, when the first blocking block B24 in the unloading and opening device B2 of this technical solution is in a descending state, the entire unloading and opening device B2 does not affect the movement of the transfer hopper B1. When the first blocking block B24 rises, it can block the sliding frame.
[0081] To further explain, after the unloading gate device B2 is raised, it blocks the sliding frame B41. At this time, when the moving sliding frame B41 comes into contact with the blocking block, it will impact the unloading gate device B2. The use of the first tilting arm B22 combined with the first tilting seat B21, which has a strong load-bearing structure, improves the reliability and maintainability of the equipment.
[0082] The first angle limiting frame B25 of this technical solution is used to constrain the flipping angle of the first flipping arm B22. By limiting the flipping angle of the first flipping arm B22, the position of the first blocking block B24 after it is raised corresponds to the position of the sliding frame B41's travel trajectory. This ensures that the first blocking block B24 can block the sliding frame B41 and prevents the first flipping arm B22 from failing to block the sliding frame B41 due to an excessively large flipping angle.
[0083] Further explanation: The transfer hopper delivery line B5 includes a drive device for driving the transfer hopper B1 to move along the transfer hopper delivery line B5. The loading gate device B33 includes two push components B31 arranged in a mirror image symmetrically. The two push components B31 are respectively located on both sides (i.e., the front and rear ends) of the loading station B52. The two push components B31 are respectively used to block the two ends of the sliding frame B41 below the transfer hopper, so that the position of the sliding frame B41 is fixed. The drive device drives the transfer hopper B1 to move, so that the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 moves above the gate plate B42.
[0084] The pushing assembly B31 includes a second tilting seat B311, a second tilting arm B312, a second lifting cylinder B313, a second blocking block B314, and a connecting plate B315. The second tilting seat B311 is connected to the mounting rod of the transfer hopper delivery line B5. One end of the second tilting arm B312 is hinged to the second tilting seat B311, and the other end of the second tilting arm B312 is connected to the connecting plate B315. The second blocking block B314 is installed on the connecting plate B315. The second lifting cylinder B313 is installed on the mounting rod of the transfer hopper delivery line B5, and the second lifting cylinder B313 is located below the second tilting arm B312.
[0085] The blocking end of the second blocking block B314 faces the second flip seat B311, and the blocking end of the second blocking block B314 is provided with a sensor (preferably a pressure sensor).
[0086] The second flipping seat B311, the second flipping arm B312, and the second lifting cylinder B313 are respectively located below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. When the extension end of the second lifting cylinder B313 is in the retracted state, the second flipping arm B312 is tilted downward, causing the second blocking block B314 to descend below the travel path of the sliding frame B41. When the extension end of the second lifting cylinder B313 is in the extended state, the second lifting cylinder B313 drives the second flipping arm B312 to rise, causing the second blocking block B314 to rise. The position of the second blocking block B314 after rising corresponds to the position of the sliding frame B41, so that the raised second blocking block B314 blocks one side of the sliding frame B41.
[0087] The distance between the two second blocking blocks B314, which are located in two mirror-symmetrically arranged pushing components B31, after rising, corresponds to the length of the sliding frame B41, so that the two second blocking blocks B314 after rising are used to block the two sides of the sliding frame B41 respectively.
[0088] It is worth noting that this technical solution achieves the effect of closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 through the cooperation of the loading gate device B3 and the drive device. The loading gate device B3 includes two push components B31 arranged in a mirror-symmetric manner. The push components B31 are respectively installed on both sides of the loading station B52. When the transfer hopper B1 needs to receive material, the transfer hopper B1 moves towards the loading station B52. When the transfer hopper B1 approaches the loading station B52, the push component B31 on the side away from the transfer hopper B1 rises and blocks one side of the sliding frame B41. At this time, driven by the drive device, the transfer hopper B1 continues to move until the end of the transfer hopper B1 contacts the sliding frame B41. At this time, the other push component B31 rises (because a sensor is provided at the blocking end of the second blocking block B314, when the sensor senses that it has been hit twice, the other push component B31 rises). The push component B31 is raised, blocking the other side of the sliding frame B41. Alternatively, the control program can be configured so that when one side of the sliding frame B41 touches the push component B31, the other symmetrically positioned push component B31 rises, blocking the other side of the sliding frame B41. This blocks both ends of the sliding frame B41, fixing its position. Then, the drive device moves the transfer hopper B1, causing its discharge port to move from the discharge empty position B43 to the gate plate B42, thus closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1, enabling it to receive and transport materials.
[0089] This technical solution achieves the gate-closing effect through the cooperation of two pushing components B31 and the driving action of the drive device. Since both pushing components B31 are installed on the mounting rods of the transfer hopper distribution line B5, they do not need to be installed on the transfer hopper B1, effectively reducing the load on the transfer hopper B1 and simplifying its structure, resulting in faster and less disruptive transportation. Furthermore, the unloading and opening device B2, the two pushing components B31, and the drive device are all electrically connected to the PLC automatic control system, enabling automatic opening and closing of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1.
[0090] Specifically, the two pushing components B31 of this technical solution are installed on the mounting rod of the transfer hopper distribution line B5 and located on both sides of the loading station B52. Each loading station B52 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor (such as an induction sensor). When the photoelectric sensor detects that the sliding frame B41 enters the loading station B52, the photoelectric sensor gives a signal and transmits the information to the PLC automatic control system. The PLC automatic control system transmits the information to the loading gate device, and the loading gate device is activated. The extension end of the second lifting cylinder B313 of the pushing component B31 located in front of the sliding frame B41's travel trajectory rises, driving the second tilting arm B312 to rise, thereby driving the second blocking block B314 to rise. When the sliding frame B41 moves to the position corresponding to the second blocking block B314, the second blocking block B314 blocks one end of the moving sliding frame B41. When one end of the sliding frame B41 touches the position of the sliding frame B41, the second blocking block B314 blocks one end of the moving sliding frame B41. After the pushing component B31 in front of the walking trajectory, the second lifting cylinder B313 of the pushing component B31, located behind the walking trajectory of the sliding frame B41, extends upward, lifting the second tilting arm B312 and causing the second blocking block B314 to rise and block the other end of the sliding frame B41. At this time, both ends of the sliding frame B41 are limited by the two pushing components B31, so that the position of the sliding frame B41 is fixed. When the driving device drives the transfer hopper B1 to walk on the sliding frame B41 and contact the front end of the sliding frame B41, the transfer hopper B1 stops moving forward. At this time, the position of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 corresponds to the discharge empty space B43. Then, the PLC automatic control system controls the driving device to drive the transfer hopper B1 to retreat until the position corresponding to the discharge port moving gate B42 of the transfer hopper B1 is reached, and the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is blocked by the gate B42, that is, the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 is closed.
[0091] It is worth noting that, relative to the position of the loading station B52, some receiving hoppers B511 are located on the left side of the loading station B52, while others are located on the right side. Therefore, when the transfer hopper B1 discharges material and returns to the loading station B52 to receive material, it may move from the left side of the loading station B52 towards the direction closer to the feeding belt B9, or it may move from the right side of the loading station B52 towards the direction closer to the feeding belt B9. Since the two pushing components B31 in this technical solution are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner, the loading gate device B3 of this technical solution can adapt to the above two situations. It can block and limit the sliding frame B41, thereby moving the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to the discharge empty space B43 to the gate plate B42, achieving the purpose of closing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1.
[0092] The driving device of this technical solution is used to drive the transfer hopper B1 to slide along the length direction of the transfer hopper delivery line B5. The driving device includes a transmission chain assembly B71 and a bearing wheel assembly B72. The transmission chain assembly B71 includes a transmission chain bracket B711, a transmission motor B713 and a transmission chain B712. The transmission chain B712 is mounted on the transmission chain bracket B711. The transmission motor B713 is drivenly connected to the transmission chain B712.
[0093] The transfer hopper B1 is provided with a fixed seat B12 on its outside, and the fixed seat B12 is fixedly installed with the transmission chain B712.
[0094] The bearing wheel assembly B72 includes a plurality of bearing wheels B721 and a bearing track B722 parallel to the transmission chain bracket B711; the plurality of bearing wheels B721 are mounted on the side of the fixed base B12 away from the transmission chain B712, and the bearing wheels B721 roll along the bearing track B722.
[0095] The transfer hopper B1 also includes a guide assembly B13, which includes a longitudinal guide wheel B131 and a transverse guide wheel B132. The longitudinal guide wheel B131 is mounted on the fixed base B12 by a bracket. The shaft of the longitudinal guide wheel B131 is vertically arranged, and the wheel surface of the longitudinal guide wheel B131 is in contact with the side wall of the transmission chain bracket B711.
[0096] The transverse guide wheel B132 is mounted on the fixed base B12 via a mounting component, and the transverse guide wheel B132 is located below the bearing wheel B721. The pivot of the transverse guide wheel B132 is arranged transversely. The bottom end of the bearing track B722 is provided with a second guide bar B7221, which is arranged along the extension direction of the bearing track B722. The wheel surface of the transverse guide wheel B132 and the second guide bar B7221 cooperate with each other.
[0097] Specifically, the transmission chain assembly B71 and the bearing wheel assembly B72 constitute the driving device, which drives the transfer hopper B1 to move. Since the transfer hopper B1 in this technical solution needs to reciprocate, this technical solution uses a mature and reliable chain drive, which makes it easy to control the distance the device moves and the position where it stops.
[0098] Specifically, in this technical solution, the drive motor B713 is an electric motor, which is connected to the drive chain B712. The motor drives the drive chain B712 to move, thereby moving the transfer hopper B1.
[0099] The guiding component B13 of this technical solution is equipped with longitudinal guide wheel B131 and transverse guide wheel B132, which constrain the degrees of freedom of the transfer hopper B1 in the transverse and longitudinal directions, ensuring the reliability of the travel position of the hopper 1. At the same time, through the cooperation of longitudinal guide wheel B131, transverse guide wheel B132, bearing wheel assembly B72 and transmission chain B712, the transfer hopper B1 is slidably installed on the transfer hopper delivery line B5.
[0100] Further explanation: the pushing component B31 also includes a second angle limiting frame B316, which is in the shape of an inverted "U". The opening of the second angle limiting frame B316 is fixedly installed on the second flipping seat B311 with the opening facing downward. One end of the second flipping arm B312 near the second flipping seat B311 is accommodated in the second angle limiting frame B316.
[0101] The second angle limiting frame B316 is located below the walking trajectory of the sliding frame B41.
[0102] It is worth noting that this technical solution sets a second angle limiting frame B316 on the pushing component B31. The second angle limiting frame B316 can constrain the flipping angle of the second flipping arm B312 to ensure that the position of the second blocking block after it is raised corresponds to the position of the sliding frame B41's travel trajectory. This ensures that the second blocking block B314 can complete the blocking and limiting of the sliding frame B41, and prevents the second flipping arm B312 from failing to block and limit the sliding frame B41 due to an excessively large flipping angle.
[0103] Further explanation: Guide wheels B6 are installed on both sides of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1. The rotating shaft of the guide wheel B6 is vertically arranged relative to the sliding frame B41, and the wheel surface of the guide wheel B6 is provided with a guide groove.
[0104] Both sides of the sliding frame B41 are fixedly provided with first guide bars B411, and the two first guide bars B411 extend into the guide grooves of the guide wheel B6 respectively.
[0105] Both ends of the sliding frame B41 are provided with limiting strips B412 (to prevent the guide wheel B6 from sliding out of the sliding frame B41).
[0106] It is worth noting that the guide wheel B6 is installed on both sides of the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 via the mounting plate. Through the cooperation between the guide wheel B6 and the guide bar, the sliding frame B41 can be slidably installed at the bottom of the transfer hopper B1, thereby allowing the discharge port of the transfer hopper B1 to be opened and closed.
[0107] The sliding structure of the sliding frame B41 in this technical solution, in conjunction with the guide wheel B6, has less friction compared to the sliding groove structure, allowing the sliding frame B41 to be moved with less force.
[0108] Further explanation: The moisturizing conveying device D includes a spraying device D1, a water mist cover D2, and a conveying device D4; the water mist cover D2 is installed on the top of the conveying section D41 of the conveying device D4, and the water mist cover D2 and the top surface of the conveying section D41 together form a moisturizing area (i.e., a closed moisturizing area); the spraying device D1 is located in the center of the moisturizing area, and the spraying device D1 extends from one end of the moisturizing area to the other end;
[0109] The water mist hood D2 includes an arc-shaped top plate D21 and two side plates D22, which are symmetrically arranged. The top edge of the side plate D22 is connected to the bottom edge of the arc-shaped top plate D21, and the bottom edge of the side plate D22 is outside the conveyor belt of the conveying section D41. The bottom of the side plate D22 is fixed to the support frame of the transport device D4. The spraying device D1 sprays water towards the arc-shaped top plate D21.
[0110] In this scheme, a moisturizing area is formed by the water mist cover D2 and the top surface of the conveying section D41 of the conveying device D4, which moisturizes the powder on the conveying section D41. Then, the spraying device D1 is set in the center of the moisturizing area, and the spraying device D1 extends from one end of the moisturizing area to the other end, so that the sprayed water mist can fully cover the moisturizing area, maintain the humidity in the chamber, and leave a conveying space below the spraying device D1 for the powder to pass through and absorb the moisture in the moisturizing area to maintain humidity. Furthermore, by setting the top of the water mist hood D2 as an arc-shaped top plate D21, and spraying the spray device D1 towards the arc-shaped top plate D21, the spray is prevented from directly spraying the powder, which would cause the powder to become too wet and stick to the conveyor device D4. Then, the two side plates D22 are symmetrically arranged, with the top edge of the side plate D22 connected to the bottom edge of the arc-shaped top plate D21, and the bottom edge of the side plate D22 outside the conveyor belt of the conveying section D41. The bottom of the side plate D22 is fixed to the conveyor device D4. This allows the water vapor rising and gathering on the arc-shaped top plate D21 of the water mist hood D2 in the moisturizing area to slide along the arc surface of the arc-shaped top plate D21 to the side plates D22 on both sides, and then slide along the slope of the side plates D22 to the bottom edge of the side plates D22. This guides the condensed water droplets and prevents the condensed water droplets from dripping onto the conveyor belt of the conveying section D41, thus avoiding excessive increase in the humidity of the raw materials transported on the conveyor belt.
[0111] Further explanation: the moisturizing delivery device also includes a breathable water mist cloth D3, which covers the outside of the water mist cover D2. The water mist cover D2 has densely arranged air vents D23, that is, the arc-shaped top plate and the two side plates are provided with densely arranged air vents D23.
[0112] The transport device D4 is fixedly connected with multiple fixing strips D411, and the fixing strips D411 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the water mist cover; the spray device D1 is provided with a connector, and the connector is connected to the vent D23, which limits the spray device D1 to the center of the moisturizing area.
[0113] In one embodiment of the present invention, dense vents D23 are opened on the surface of the water mist cover D2, which can further increase the breathability of the moisturizing area, allowing air to flow within the moisturizing area and ensuring that the inside of the moisturizing area is not too damp. Since water vapor can rise to the outside of the moisturizing area after the vents D23 are opened, and mix with the air outside the moisturizing area, when the air outside the moisturizing area is relatively turbid, the mixed water vapor may fall back into the moisturizing area due to its increased density, contaminating the powder. Therefore, covering the outside of the water mist cover D22 with a breathable water mist cloth D25 is beneficial to forming a breathable barrier. The falling water vapor can adhere to the water mist cloth D25, or after adhering to the water mist cloth D25, it can be guided by the water mist cover D2 to the outside of the conveyor belt of the transport device D4.
[0114] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water mist cover D2 is fixed to the transport device D4 by the fixing strip D411 to prevent the water mist cover D2 from shifting. The spray device D1 is connected to the vent D23 by the connector, thereby confining the spray device D1 to the center of the water mist cover D2. This leaves an atomization space above the spray device D1 and a raw material transport space below. When the spray device D1 sprays upward toward the arc-shaped top plate D21, there is enough space to form an atomization layer. The water mist then descends from the atomization layer to the transport space below, allowing the water mist to contact the raw material in the transport space evenly and maintain the moisture of the raw material.
[0115] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the water mist cloth D25 can be fixed to the water mist cover D2 by multiple fixing straps. Each fixing strap has multiple locking blocks, and the head of the strap has a buckle. The tail of the strap passes through the water mist cloth D25 and the vent D23, then through another vent D23, through the water mist cloth D25, and then through the buckle at the head of the strap, where it is secured by the locking blocks and the buckle. Alternatively, the connecting component can be an iron bar, with one end fixed to the spray device D1 and the other end connected to the vent D23 for a limiting connection, thereby suspending the spray device D1 in the center of the moisturizing area.
[0116] Further explanation: the spray device D1 includes a water mist transmission pipe D11 and a water mist nozzle D12; the water mist transmission pipe D11 is located in the center of the moisturizing area, and the water mist transmission pipe D11 extends from one end of the moisturizing area to the other end.
[0117] The top of the water mist transmission pipe D11 is provided with a plurality of water mist nozzles D12, and the nozzles of the water mist nozzles D12 face the arc-shaped top plate D21.
[0118] The spray device D1 also includes a water atomizer D13 and a connecting pipe D14. The connecting pipe D14 is arranged vertically. The output end of the water atomizer D13 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe D14, and the top end of the connecting pipe D14 is connected to the end of the water mist transmission pipe D11.
[0119] In one embodiment of the present invention, to achieve comprehensive atomization of the chamber from one end to the other in the moisturizing area, a water mist transmission pipe D11 is set in the center of the moisturizing area, extending from one end to the other. Several water mist nozzles D12 are arranged at the top of the water mist transmission pipe D11. To avoid the water mist nozzles D12 spraying directly at the raw material, resulting in excessive humidity and material sticking to the conveyor belt, the nozzles of the water mist nozzles D12 are directed towards the curved top plate D21. Thus, when the moisturizing area enters the working state, the water mist nozzles D12 spray towards the curved top plate D21, dispersing as they fall with the airflow within the moisturizing area, forming an atomized layer at the top of the moisturizing area. The water mist in the atomized layer falls under the influence of gravity, resulting in a more uniform distribution of water mist, ensuring sufficient contact with the powder passing through the lower layer of the moisturizing area, and more thorough and uniform hydration of the powder.
[0120] In one embodiment of the present invention, to ensure a sufficient supply of water mist in the water mist transmission pipe D11, the output end of the water atomizer D13 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe D14, and the output end of the connecting pipe D14 is connected to the end of the water mist transmission pipe D11. This allows the water mist output from the water atomizer D13 to be transported to the water mist transmission pipe D11 through the connecting pipe D14, providing a continuous supply of water mist to the water mist transmission pipe D11. It should be noted that the water mist purifier 13 is preferably an ultrasonic water mist purifier. Ultrasonic water mist purifiers save 90% of energy compared to heated atomizers and can remove dust, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, bacteria, and other harmful substances, making the air in the humidification area fresher and reducing the impact on raw materials.
[0121] Furthermore, the transport device D4 includes a frame and a conveyor belt, with the conveyor belt mounted on the frame;
[0122] The feed end D42 of the conveying device D4 is equipped with a guide component D5, which is mounted on the frame.
[0123] The discharge end D43 of the conveying device D4 is equipped with a driving component D6, which is mounted on the frame and connected to the conveyor belt drive.
[0124] The discharge end D43 of the conveyor device D4 is equipped with a discharge bin D7, and the end of the conveyor belt is located inside the inlet D71 of the discharge bin D7.
[0125] In one embodiment of the present invention, a driving component D6 is provided at the discharge end D43. The driving component D6 is connected to the conveyor belt drive, thereby driving the conveyor belt to operate, so that the powder can be transported from the feed end D42 to the conveying section D41, and then from the conveying section D41 to the discharge end D43. A guiding component D5 is provided at the feed end D42 to guide the raw material entering the feed end D42, so that the width and shape of the raw material pile transported to the conveying section D41 matches the conveying space within the moisture-retaining area of the conveying section D41, allowing for smooth passage. Finally, the end of the discharge end D43 is fixed inside the feed inlet D71 of the discharge hopper D7, thereby discharging the raw material from the discharge hopper D7 to the next process.
[0126] It should be noted that the feed end D42 of the conveying device D4 is equipped with a guide component D5, and the conveying section D41 is equipped with a moisture-retaining area. In order to make the functional area division of the conveying device D4 clearer, the drive component D6 is set at the discharge end D43, which can also make the equipment setting more reasonable and prevent them from being piled up in the same position. In addition, in this embodiment, the conveying device D4 is set at an angle to match the setting of the discharge bin D7. The gravity on the conveyor belt increases from small to large at the feed end D42, the conveying section D41 and the discharge end D43. Therefore, setting the drive component D6 at the discharge end D43 makes it easier to drive the conveyor belt to rotate at a uniform speed.
[0127] Furthermore, the discharge bin D7 is in the shape of an inverted cone, and the bottom end of the discharge bin D7 is provided with a discharge port D72; the top of the discharge bin D7 is closed and the side is provided with a feed port D71, and the discharge end 3 extends into the feed port D71.
[0128] The side wall of discharge hopper D7 is connected to the frame.
[0129] In one embodiment of the present invention, the raw material transported on the discharge end D43 flows out from the end of the discharge end D43 and enters the interior of the discharge bin D7 through the inlet D71. For this purpose, the discharge end D43 is extended into the inlet D71. The side wall of the discharge bin D7 is connected to the frame, so that the raw material flows directly into the interior of the discharge bin D7 and prevents the raw material from splashing out of the discharge bin D7 during the falling process. Since the discharge bin D7 is an inverted cone shape, the raw material inside is guided and discharged from the discharge port D72 at the top of the cone, and the raw material is transported to the next process.
[0130] Further explanation: The mixing device includes a first drive mechanism A2, a fixed component A3, a belt conveyor component A4, a rotating drum A5, a second drive mechanism A1, and a claw-type rotating component A6; the rotating drum A5 is rotatably disposed within the fixed component A3, and the first drive mechanism A2 is drivenly connected to the rotating drum A5;
[0131] The claw-type rotating component A6 is located inside the rotating drum A5. The second driving mechanism A1 is installed on the top of the fixed component A3. After the driving end of the second driving mechanism A1 passes through the fixed component A3, it is driven to connect with the claw-type rotating component A6. The top end of the claw-type rotating component A6 is close to the top of the rotating drum A5, and the bottom end of the claw-type rotating component A6 is close to the bottom of the rotating drum A5.
[0132] The claw-type rotating component A6 and the rotating drum A5 rotate in opposite directions; the top of the fixed component A3 is provided with the inlet A313; the center of the bottom of the rotating drum A5 and the center of the bottom of the fixed component A3 are respectively provided with outlets, the two outlets are opposite to each other and form an outlet channel, the outlet channel is located above the belt conveyor component A4.
[0133] In this design, the rotating drum A5 is set inside the fixed component A3 to form a relatively enclosed working space for raw material stirring, allowing for vigorous stirring while preventing raw material from splashing out. Then, the first drive mechanism A2 is driven by the rotating drum A5, causing the rotating drum A5 to rotate along with the raw material inside under the drive of the first drive mechanism A2. The claw-type rotating component A6 is installed inside the rotating drum A5. The second drive mechanism A1 is installed on the top of the fixed component A3. The drive end of the second drive mechanism A1 passes through the fixed component A3 and is driven by the claw-type rotating component A6. The top of the claw-type rotating component A6 is close to the top of the rotating drum A5, and the bottom of the claw-type rotating component A6 is close to... The claw-type rotating component A6 is positioned near the bottom of the rotating drum A5, allowing it to penetrate the raw material inside the drum A5 from top to bottom. The mixing surface of the claw-type rotating component A6 covers most of the rotating drum A5. Driven by the first driving mechanism 1, the claw-type rotating component A6 rotates in the opposite direction to the rotating drum A5. Then, the raw material is vertically discharged into the rotating drum A5 from the top of the fixed component A3 through the feed inlet A313. Under the pushing and stirring action of the claw-type rotating component A6 on the raw material from top to bottom, and the relative rotational motion of the rotating drum A5, the raw material is violently agitated within the rotating drum A5. The raw material inside the rotating drum A5 can be quickly mixed in a short time, greatly improving the mixing efficiency.
[0134] A discharge port is located at the center of the bottom of the rotating drum A5 and the center of the bottom of the fixed component A3, respectively. The two discharge ports are positioned opposite each other and form a discharge channel, which is located above the belt conveyor component A4. After the raw material is mixed, the raw material is pushed back and forth between the claw rotating component A6 and the relative rotation of the rotating drum A5 by the mixing action of the claw rotating component A6. At this time, the discharge channel located in the center opens, and the raw material is pushed into the discharge channel and flows out from the discharge channel to the belt conveyor component A4, and then transported to the next process. This realizes the transfer between the high-density powder mixing equipment A and the production line, greatly improving the efficiency of the entire production line. It can be understood that the high-density powder is a raw material such as cement and sand.
[0135] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, both the second drive mechanism A1 and the first drive mechanism A2 are preferably motors. The transmission rod of the second drive mechanism A1 is directly connected to the claw-type rotating member A6, resulting in a large transmission torque and thus a large stirring force of the claw-type rotating member A6, thereby achieving high stirring efficiency. Under this premise, to reduce the size of the stirring equipment, the second drive component 2 is installed at the bottom of the fixed component A3 to drive the rotating drum A5 to rotate for auxiliary stirring. Specifically, the second drive component 2 can drive the rotating drum A5 by fixing a gear ring along the bottom edge of the rotating drum A5, and fixing a drive gear at the output end of the second drive component 2. The drive gear meshes with the gear ring, and the gear ring rotates through the drive gear of the second drive component, thereby causing the rotating drum A5 to rotate. The method of the second drive component 2 driving the rotating drum A5 is not limited to this embodiment.
[0136] Further explanation: The fixing component A3 includes a top cover A31, a protective component A32, a base A33, and a limiting component A34; the protective component A32 is located between the top cover A31 and the base A33, and the top cover A31, the protective component A32, and the base A33 together form the installation space of the rotating cylinder A5;
[0137] Two second drive mechanisms A1 are fixedly installed on the top of the limiting member A34, which is located on the top surface of the top cover A31; the drive ends of the two second drive mechanisms A1 pass through the limiting member A34 and the top cover A31 and are respectively driven connected to the two claw-type rotating members A6.
[0138] The claw-type rotating component A6 includes a cross-shaped rotating frame A61 and four stirring shafts A62; the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 is located at the top of the rotating drum A5, and the intersection of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 is connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism A2.
[0139] The end of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 extends from the side wall of the rotating drum A5 to the center of the rotating drum A5. The top ends of the four stirring shafts A62 are fixedly connected to the four ends of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61, and the bottom ends of the stirring shafts A62 extend to the bottom of the rotating drum A5.
[0140] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top cover A31, the protective member A32, and the base A33 form the installation space of the rotating drum A5, and a protective ring is formed around the rotating drum A5, so that the claw-type rotating member A6 and the rotating drum A5 can rotate at high speed within the protective ring, avoiding raw material splashing and personnel touching the claw-type rotating member A6 and the rotating drum A5; the raw material can directly enter the interior of the rotating drum A5 from the feed port A313, reducing transportation time, and can be added while stirring during the stirring operation of the rotating drum A5 and the claw-type rotating member A6, improving efficiency, and the stirring situation inside the rotating drum A5 can be observed through the feed port A313.
[0141] The second drive mechanism A1 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting member A34. The limiting member A34 is located on the top surface of the top cover A31. After the drive end of the second drive mechanism A1 passes through the limiting member A34 and the top cover A31, it is driven and connected to the claw rotating member A6, thereby limiting and fixing the claw rotating member A6 inside the rotating drum A5.
[0142] In one embodiment of the present invention, the claw-type rotating component A6 is composed of a cross-shaped rotating frame A61 and four stirring shafts A62. The intersection of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 is connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism A2, thereby causing the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 to rotate under the drive of the first driving mechanism A2. The top ends of the four stirring shafts A62 are respectively fixedly connected to the four ends of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61, thereby causing the stirring shafts A62 to rotate under the rotation of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61. The connection of the top ends of the four stirring shafts A62 to the four ends of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 can expand the stirring range of the claw-type rotating component A6. The certain distance between the four stirring shafts A62 allows the raw material to flow rapidly between the stirring shafts A62 during the rotation and stirring process. When it flows to another stirring shaft A62, it continues to be rotated and stirred. This cycle accelerates the mixing of the raw material and improves the stirring efficiency. Furthermore, because the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 is located at the top of the rotating drum A5, and the end of the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 extends from the side wall of the rotating drum A5 to the center of the rotating drum A5, and the bottom end of the stirring shaft A62 extends to the bottom of the rotating drum A5, the stirring volume formed when the cross-shaped rotating frame A61 rotates and drives the stirring shaft A62 to rotate is maximized. When both cross-shaped rotating frames A61 rotate simultaneously, the stirring volume can cover most of the raw materials in the rotating drum A5, greatly improving the stirring efficiency.
[0143] Further explanation: the belt conveyor component A4 includes a conveyor belt A42 and a conveyor frame A43; the conveyor belt A42 is mounted on the conveyor frame A43, and the conveyor belt A43 is provided with a guide member A41;
[0144] The flow guide A41 includes two flow guide plates A411, multiple flow guide plate adjusting components A412, and multiple flow guide plate fixing components A413; the two flow guide plates A411 are respectively vertically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt A42, and the gap between the two flow guide plates A411 forms a flow guide channel, the width of which decreases along the transport direction;
[0145] Multiple guide vane fixing parts A413 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the conveyor frame A43. One end of the guide vane adjusting part A412 is fixedly connected to the guide vane A411, and the other end is connected to the guide vane fixing part A413. The connection position between the guide vane adjusting part A412 and the guide vane fixing part A413 is adjustable to adjust the width of the guide channel.
[0146] In one embodiment of the present invention, a conveyor belt A42 is installed on a conveyor frame A43 to facilitate transmission and reduce friction. A guide plate A41 is then provided on the conveyor belt A42 to guide the raw material falling from the discharge channel onto the conveyor belt, preventing the material from being too scattered and hindering its entry into the next process. Two guide plates A411 are vertically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt A42, with the gap between the two guide plates A411 forming a guide channel. The width of the guide channel decreases along the transport direction, allowing the guide plates A411 to guide and transport as much of the falling raw material as possible. Multiple guide plate fixing pieces A413 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame A43, providing a fixed base for the guide plates A411. One end of a guide plate adjusting piece A412 is fixedly connected to the guide plate A411, and the other end is connected to the guide plate fixing piece A411. Connection 13 provides a connection base for the guide plate A411 and the guide plate fixing component A413, thereby fixing the guide plate A411 and preventing it from being displaced by impact during the material flow process. Furthermore, the connection position between the guide plate adjusting component A412 and the guide plate fixing component A413 is adjustable, allowing for adjustment of the distance between the two guide plates A411. This enables dynamic adjustment of the width of the flow channel based on the material's descent, and also allows for adjustment of the height between the guide plate A411 and the conveyor belt A42 to adapt to different flow requirements. It should be noted that the belt conveyor component A4 is not fixed or limited to the mixing equipment, therefore it can move freely below the discharge channel, facilitating the receiving and transport of raw materials. The belt conveyor component A4 can be easily replaced with a container or receiving device, and it also facilitates the maintenance of the belt conveyor component A4 or the mixing equipment.
[0147] Furthermore, a blocking block A331 is provided at the discharge channel. The blocking block A331 is located at the bottom of the base platform A33. The bottom of the base platform A33 is provided with a cylinder A332, a swing rod A333, and a connecting block A334.
[0148] One end of the rocker arm A333 is rotatably connected to the cylinder A332, and the other end of the rocker arm is rotatably connected to the sealing block A331. The rocker arm A333 is rotatably connected to the connecting block A334, which is located between the cylinder A332 and the sealing block A331.
[0149] In one embodiment of the present invention, a blocking block A331 is provided at the discharge channel to block the discharge channel during the mixing operation of the mixing equipment, preventing the raw material from flowing out. The blocking block A331 is located at the bottom of the base platform A33. The bottom of the base platform A33 is provided with a cylinder A332, a swing rod A333, and a connecting block A334, thereby building the switch foundation of the blocking block A331 on the base platform A33. One end of the swing rod A333 is rotatably connected to the cylinder A332, and the other end of the swing rod is rotatably connected to the blocking block A331. The swing rod A333 is rotatably connected to the connecting block A334 located between the cylinder A332 and the blocking block A331. When driven by the cylinder A332, one end of the swing rod A333 rotates, driving the connecting block A334 to rotate, thereby driving the other end of the swing rod A333 to rotate, and thus the blocking block A331 opens or closes accordingly.
[0150] Furthermore, the protective component A32 includes two guardrail fixing plates A321 and two detachable guardrails A322; the guardrail fixing plates A321 are disposed on both sides of the rotating drum A5, and the left and right sides of the detachable guardrails A322 are respectively fixedly connected to the two guardrail fixing plates A321.
[0151] The top cover A31 has two top cover fixing parts A311 on each side. The top cover fixing parts A311 are fixed to the top of the guardrail fixing plate A321. The two ends of the limiting part A34 are fixed to the top of the two guardrail fixing plates A321 respectively. The two ends of the limiting part A34 are located between the two top cover fixing parts A311.
[0152] The top cover A31 has guardrail limiting members A312 on its other two sides, and the guardrail limiting members A312 abut against the detachable guardrail A322.
[0153] In one embodiment of the present invention, the protective component A32 mainly consists of two guardrail fixing plates A321 and two detachable guardrails A322. The guardrails are detachable, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the mixing equipment. The guardrail fixing plates A321 are located on both sides of the rotating drum A5. The left and right sides of the detachable guardrails A322 are respectively fixedly connected to the two guardrail fixing plates A321, thereby forming a protective wall to prevent personnel from touching the mixing equipment horizontally and to prevent material splashing. Two top cover fixing members A311 are respectively provided on both sides of the top cover A31. The top cover fixing members A311 are fixed to the top of the guardrail fixing plates A321, thereby fixing the top cover A31 to the protective wall to form a vertical protective wall, preventing personnel from touching the mixing equipment from the top. The equipment and raw materials splash from the top; the two ends of the limiting member A34 are respectively fixed to the top of the two guardrail fixing plates A321, thereby fixing the limiting member A34 to the top of the mixing equipment to provide a limiting base for the first driving component 1. The top cover A31 isolates the first driving component 1 from the rotating component to prevent the first driving component 1 set on the limiting member A34 from being rotated by the rotating component; and the two ends of the limiting member A34 are respectively located between the two top cover fixing members A311 to limit the limiting member A34 and prevent it from shifting due to the mixing operation of the mixing equipment.
[0154] Specifically, the top cover A31 is also provided with guardrail limiting members A312 on the other two sides. The guardrail limiting members A312 abut against the detachable guardrail A322 to limit the detachable guardrail A322, preventing the guardrail from being too close to the mixing equipment and being damaged by the rotating drum A5, or preventing the guardrail from being too close and failing to prevent personnel from being touched.
[0155] Furthermore, the detachable guardrail A322 has a mesh structure.
[0156] Since the fixed component A3 forms a relatively closed space, and the rotating cylinder A5 generates a certain suction force when rotating inside the fixed component A3, if the air cannot circulate under these circumstances, the detachable guardrail A322 will be pulled by the suction force, which may cause the guardrail to deform and prevent the suction force of the rotating cylinder A5 from being released, thus hindering the rotation speed. Therefore, setting the detachable guardrail A322 as a mesh structure allows air to flow through the mesh while retaining the protective function.
[0157] Furthermore, the diameter of the stirring shaft A62 is 60mm-80mm.
[0158] The mixing device of the present invention can mix a variety of raw materials. Some raw materials have a high density and some have a high viscosity. Therefore, the mixing shaft A62 often encounters great resistance when mixing these raw materials. When the diameter of the mixing shaft A62 is small, it may be broken during the mixing process. Therefore, the diameter of the mixing shaft A62 is preferably 60mm-80mm.
