[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, an automatic feeding port connection device for a metallurgical system includes a fixed base 1, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the feeding pipe 101 in the feeding trolley 100. The lower section of the feeding pipe 101 is cylindrical. During the movement of the feeding trolley 100, the feeding device performs feeding work on the feeding port 201 on the hopper 200. The device also includes: a sealing flange 2 slidably installed at the bottom end of the fixed base 1, the sealing flange 2 being located outside the cylindrical section of the feeding pipe 101. After the sealing flange 2 moves down, it covers the outside of the feeding pipe 101 and the feeding port 201; an electric push rod 3 provided on the ring side of the fixed base 1 for driving the sealing flange 2 to move down; a support spring 4 for pushing the sealing flange 2 to move up, the bottom end of the support spring 4 extending below the sealing flange 2; and a limit switch 5 for controlling the feeding trolley 100. After the electric push rod 3 moves up, it contacts the limit switch 5.

[0033] The adapter is installed at the discharge pipe 101 of the distributing trolley 100, and is used in combination with the distributing trolley 100 and the stock bin 200 in the metallurgical discharging system. The top end of the stock bin 200 is provided with a plurality of feeding ports 201, and each feeding port 201 is a working position. The distributing trolley 100 is loaded with metallurgical auxiliary materials. Since the metallurgical auxiliary materials contain dust, dust will be raised during discharging. In order to improve the dust raising problem of the metallurgical discharging, a sealing flange 2 is arranged on the discharge pipe 101. Specifically, in the initial state, the sealing flange 2 is located at the top end of its moving range and does not contact the stock bin 200, so as not to affect the movement of the distributing trolley 100. When discharging the stock bin 200, the distributing trolley 100 is started to move at the top end of the stock bin 200, and the distributing trolley 100 stops at the working position. At this time, the discharge pipe 101 in the distributing trolley 100 is aligned with the feeding port 201. The electric push rod 3 is energized, so that the electric push rod 3 moves downward, and the sealing flange 2 moves downward and is attached to the top of the stock bin 200 and covers the outside of the feeding port 201. The height of the sealing flange 2 is greater than the distance between the bottom end of the discharge pipe 101 and the top end of the feeding port 201. The feeding port 201 is sealed by the sealing flange 2. Then, the distributing trolley 100 can send the metallurgical auxiliary materials into the discharge pipe 101. The device realizes the sealing of the discharge pipe 101 and the feeding port 201, avoids the dust raising in the discharging process from entering the surrounding environment, improves the dust raising problem during the feeding of the metallurgical system, reduces the amount of dust raising, and reduces the safety risk of cleaning the accumulated dust in the complex environment of the feeding workshop.

[0034] After the discharging is completed, the electric push rod 3 is de-energized. The electric push rod 3 is lifted upward under the action of the supporting spring 4, so that the sealing flange 2 is separated from the feeding port 201. After the electric push rod 3 is lifted to the highest point, the limit switch 5 is touched, and the limit switch 5 is connected, so that the trolley is started and runs to the next working position to continue discharging. In this way, automatic continuous work can be realized.

[0035] As shown in Figures 4-7 the bottom end of the sealing flange 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21 for receiving the supporting spring 4.

[0036] Specifically, during discharging, the sealing flange 2 moves downward, and the supporting spring 4 is compressed and shrunk in the receiving groove 21, so as to ensure that the sealing flange 2 can be closely attached to the top end of the stock bin 200, and the sealing property between the discharge pipe 101 and the feeding port 201 during discharging is ensured.

[0037] As shown in Figures 4-7As shown, the inner wall of the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101 leave a gap, and further comprises: a sealing gasket 6 arranged on the inner wall of the sealing flange 2, the sealing gasket 6 is annular, and the sealing gasket 6 extends to the direction of the blanking pipe 101 to seal the gap between the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101; and a control mechanism 7 for controlling the expansion and contraction of the sealing gasket 6.

[0038] Specifically, the sealing gasket 6 is made of rubber material with elastic expansion deformation ability. If the sealing flange 2 is always closely attached to the blanking pipe 101, the sealing flange 2 moves up and down continuously during the whole metallurgical blanking process, and the whole inner wall of the sealing flange 2 is rubbed with the blanking pipe 101, so that the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101 are both prone to wear, resulting in reduced service life of the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101. In order to reduce the wear and ensure the sealing effect, a gap is left between the inner wall of the sealing flange 2 and the outer wall of the blanking pipe 101. In the initial state, the sealing gasket 6 is in a contracted state, and the sealing flange 2 and the sealing gasket 6 are not in direct contact with the blanking pipe 101. When the sealing flange 2 moves down to be attached to the stock bin 200, the sealing gasket 6 is stretched, and the sealing gasket 6 is tightly attached to the circumferential side of the blanking pipe 101 after being stretched, thereby sealing the gap between the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101. This scheme not only reduces the wear of the sealing flange 2 and the blanking pipe 101, but also reduces the wear of the sealing gasket 6 as the sealing gasket 6 is not always attached to the blanking pipe 101, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0039] As shown in the drawings, Figures 4-7 The control mechanism 7 comprises: a storage groove 71 opened on the inner wall of the sealing flange 2, the storage groove 71 comprises an upper inclined groove section and a lower vertical groove section, and the sealing gasket 6 is covered on the top opening of the inclined groove section; granular materials 72 filled in the storage groove 71; and a piston 73 movably inserted into the vertical groove section, and the granular materials 72 are located above the piston 73.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 7 The right side of the inclined groove section is close to the blanking pipe 101, the left side of the inclined groove section is lower than the right side, the vertical groove section is communicated with the left end of the inclined groove section, and the granular materials 72 can be selected from fine sand and other powders. In the initial state, the granular materials 72 are located in the storage groove 71 region between the piston 73 and the sealing gasket 6. During the blanking process, after the sealing flange 2 is attached to the stock bin 200, the piston 73 is started to move upward, the piston 73 pushes the granular materials 72 to move upward, the granular materials 72 further push the sealing gasket 6 to stretch and bulge, so that the sealing gasket 6 is attached to the blanking pipe 101. By arranging the granular materials 72, it can be ensured that the inner side of the sealing gasket 6 can be attached to the outer wall of the blanking pipe 101 all around, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.

[0041] After the discharging is completed, the piston 73 is lowered, and the granular objects 72 automatically fall back into the storage groove 71 under the action of gravity due to the inclined chute section.

[0042] As shown in Figures 2-8 , the positioning mechanism 8 further comprises a guide rod 81 fixed to the bottom of the piston 73, a flange 811 is arranged on the ring side of the guide rod 81; an outer rod 82 movably inserted into the bottom end of the sealing flange 2, the guide rod 81 movably inserted into the inner part of the outer rod 82, and the bottom end of the outer rod 82 extends below the sealing flange 2; a push spring 83 fixed to the top end of the outer rod 82; a baffle plate 84 fixed to the top end of the push spring 83, which is in contact with the flange 811 after being pushed upward by the push spring 83; a first clamping block 85 movably inserted into the sealing flange 2, which is located above the baffle plate 84 and below the flange 811.

[0043] Specifically, the guide rod 81 and the outer rod 82 can slide up and down, the first clamping block 85 can slide left and right, the guide rod 81 passes through the inside of the push spring 83 and the baffle plate 84, and the push spring 83 is in a relaxed state in the initial state.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2-8 , the positioning mechanism 8 further comprises a first wedge block 86 fixed to the outer rod 82, which drives the first clamping block 85 to separate from the baffle plate 84 after the outer rod 82 is moved upward, and a first reset spring 851 is arranged on the first clamping block 85.

[0045] Specifically, the top end of the first wedge block 86 is provided with a slope, and a through groove corresponding to the slope is formed in the inner part of the first clamping block 85, as shown in Figure 7 , in the initial state, the first clamping block 85 is located on the left side of its moving range under the push of the first reset spring 851, and blocks the baffle plate 84 from moving upward.

[0046] As shown in Figures 2-8 , the positioning mechanism 8 further comprises a second clamping block 87 movably inserted into the sealing flange 2, a second reset spring 871 is arranged on the second clamping block 87, and the second clamping block 87 is located below the piston 73 under the push of the second reset spring 871 after the piston 73 is moved upward; a second wedge block 88 fixed to the electric push rod 3, which drives the second clamping block 87 to separate from the piston 73 after the electric push rod 3 is moved upward.

[0047] Specifically, the top end of the second wedge block 88 is provided with a slope, and a recess corresponding to the slope is formed in the bottom of the second clamping block 87; asFigure 7 As shown, in the initial state, the second stop block 87 is located to the left of the piston 73, and the second stop block never comes into contact with the particulate matter 72;

[0048] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the width of the guide rod 81 is less than the width of the vertical groove section, and the outer rod 82 has a sliding groove 821 inside for the guide rod 81 to slide. There is a gap between the bottom end of the guide rod 81 and the bottom of the sliding groove 821.

[0049] Specifically, the vertical groove section serves to support and limit the piston 73, thereby limiting the downward stroke of the inner rod. In the initial state, the outer rod 82 and the inner rod are located at the bottom of their respective movement ranges under their own gravity. After the sealing flange 2 moves down, the outer rod 82 contacts the hopper 200 and moves upward. During the upward movement of the outer rod 82, the bottom of the groove 821 does not contact the bottom of the inner rod. Therefore, the outer rod 82 does not push the inner rod upward.

[0050] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the bottom end of the electric push rod 3 is provided with a limiting block 31, and the storage groove 21 is provided with a stepped hole 211 corresponding to the limiting block 31. A gap is left between the limiting block 31 and the bottom of the stepped hole 211, and the support spring 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric push rod 3.

[0051] Specifically, the limiting block 31 and the stepped hole 211 are used to limit the up and down movement of the electric push rod 3 relative to the sealing flange 2. In the initial state, the sealing flange 2 is suspended on the limiting block 31.

[0052] During material unloading, the electric push rod 3 is activated to move downwards, which in turn moves the sealing flange 2 downwards as well; Figure 7 For example, when the sealing flange 2 moves down, the outer rod 82 contacts the hopper 200 and moves up automatically. After the outer rod 82 moves up, it squeezes the push spring 83, causing the push spring 83 to be compressed. As the outer rod 82 continues to move up, the first wedge block 86 contacts the first locking block 85 and pushes the first locking block 85 to the right, causing the first locking block 85 to separate from the impact plate 84. Then, the impact plate 84 moves up under the push of the push spring 83 and drives the piston 73 to push the particles 72 up. After the particles 72 move up, they cause the sealing gasket 6 to stretch and deform. After stretching, the bulging sealing gasket 6 is tightly attached to the feed pipe 101. The stretched sealing gasket 6 seals the gap between the inner wall of the sealing flange 2 and the outer wall of the feed pipe 101. At this time, the piston 73 moves to the top of the second locking block 87.

[0053] When the sealing flange 2 is lowered to fit the top end of the silo 200, the electric push rod 3 can also be lowered by a distance, and after the electric push rod 3 continues to be lowered, the second wedge block 88 is lowered to be separated from the second clamping block 87, and the second clamping block 87 is moved to the lower side of the piston piece 73 under the pushing of the second reset spring 871, blocks the piston piece 73, prevents the piston piece 73 from moving downward, and maintains the state of the granular material 72 to bulge the sealing gasket 6, thereby further ensuring the stability of the sealing effect.

[0054] During the discharging process, the pushing spring 83 is also compressed. After the discharging is completed, the electric push rod 3 is powered off, the supporting spring 4 pushes the electric push rod 3 to move upward, after the electric push rod 3 moves upward, the second wedge block 88 contacts the second clamping block 87 and drives the second clamping block 87 to separate from the piston piece 73, the piston piece 73 and the inner rod move downward under the action of their own gravity, the granular material 72 falls back into the storage groove 71, the sealing gasket 6 automatically shrinks and separates from the discharging pipe 101, then the electric push rod 3 drives the sealing flange 2 to move upward through the limiting block 31, so that the sealing flange 2 is separated from the feeding port 201, and the sealing gasket 6 does not contact the discharging pipe 101 during the upward movement of the sealing flange 2, which not only avoids the obstruction caused by the sealing gasket 6 during the upward movement, but also reduces the wear of the sealing gasket 6; the sealing work and the unsealing work of the sealing gasket 6 are automatically performed, without the need for an additional electrical driving system, and the structure is simple and convenient to use.

[0055] Embodiment two

[0056] As shown in Figures 1-5 Comparative Embodiment One, another embodiment of the present application is that: the sealing flange 2 comprises two detachable flange pieces.

[0057] Specifically, the upper flange of the two flange pieces is connected with the electric push rod 3, and the lower flange is detachably installed at the bottom end of the upper flange. Through this arrangement, when the sealing flange 2 is fitted with the silo 200, the friction between the sealing flange 2 and the silo 200 is mainly concentrated on the lower flange, and when wear occurs, the entire sealing flange 2 does not need to be replaced, and the replacement is convenient.

[0058] Working principle: when the silo 200 is discharging, the electric push rod 3 is powered on, so that the electric push rod 3 moves downward, and the sealing flange 2 moves downward and fits the top of the silo 200 and covers the outside of the feeding port 201, and then the feeding port 201 is sealed by the sealing flange 2, and then the metallurgical auxiliary material is fed into the discharging pipe 101, and the device realizes the sealing of the discharging pipe 101 and the feeding port 201, and avoids the dust in the discharging process from entering the surrounding environment.

[0059] During the unloading process, after the electric push rod 3 moves down, it drives the sealing flange 2 to move down as well; Figure 7 For example, when the sealing flange 2 moves down, the outer rod 82 contacts the hopper 200 and moves up automatically. After the outer rod 82 moves up, it squeezes the push spring 83, causing the push spring 83 to be compressed. As the outer rod 82 continues to move up, the first wedge block 86 contacts the first locking block 85 and pushes the first locking block 85 to the right, causing the first locking block 85 to separate from the impact plate 84. Then, the impact plate 84 moves up under the push of the push spring 83 and drives the piston 73 to push the particles 72 up. After the particles 72 move up, they cause the sealing gasket 6 to stretch and deform. After stretching, the bulging sealing gasket 6 is tightly attached to the feed pipe 101. The stretched sealing gasket 6 seals the gap between the inner wall of the sealing flange 2 and the outer wall of the feed pipe 101. At this time, the piston 73 moves to the top of the second locking block 87.

[0060] After the sealing flange 2 moves down to fit against the top of the hopper 200, the electric push rod 3 can move down a certain distance. After the electric push rod 3 continues to move down, the second wedge block 88 moves down to separate from the second locking block 87. The second locking block 87 moves under the push of the second return spring 871 to the bottom of the piston 73, blocking the piston 73 and preventing the piston 73 from moving down. The particles 72 maintain the state of bulging the sealing gasket 6, further ensuring the sealing effect.

[0061] During the feeding process, the push spring 83 is also compressed. After feeding is completed, the electric push rod 3 is de-energized, and the support spring 4 pushes the electric push rod 3 upward. After the electric push rod 3 moves upward, the second wedge block 88 contacts the second locking block 87 and drives the second locking block 87 to separate from the piston 73. The piston 73 and the inner rod move downward and reset under their own gravity, and the particles 72 fall back into the storage tank 71. The sealing gasket 6 automatically retracts and separates from the feeding pipe 101. Then, the electric push rod 3 drives the sealing flange 2 upward through the limit block 31, so that the sealing flange 2 separates from the feed port 201. During the upward movement of the sealing flange 2, the sealing gasket 6 does not contact the feeding pipe 101, which not only avoids the obstruction caused by the sealing gasket 6 to the upward movement process, but also reduces the wear of the sealing gasket 6. The sealing and unsealing work of the sealing gasket 6 is carried out automatically without the need for an additional electrical drive system. The structure is simple and easy to use.
