Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass production technology, and in particular to a device for uniformly distributing silica sand in a homogenization chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Silica sand, also known as silicon dioxide or quartz sand, is a refractory granular material with quartz as its main mineral component and a particle size ranging from 0.020mm to 3.350mm. It is an important industrial mineral raw material, widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and refractory materials, metallurgy, construction, chemical, plastics, rubber, abrasives and other industries.

[0003] Homogenization silos are storage facilities for various granular loose materials and can effectively store powdery loose materials. Silica sand used in glass production is typically stored in homogenization silos.

[0004] In related technologies, after a period of use, the silica sand in the homogenization silo may be compacted and caking because the area at the bottom of the silo wall bears the entire load. This may lead to uneven silica sand discharge, which in severe cases may affect normal production and the economic benefits of the enterprise. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the occurrence of material compaction and caking in the homogenization silo, the purpose of this application is to provide a uniform material distribution device for a silica sand homogenization silo.

[0006] The uniform material distribution device for a silica sand homogenization silo provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A silica sand homogenization silo uniform material distribution device includes a silo body with a discharge port at the lower end. Multiple storage bins are fixedly connected inside the silo body, arranged in two rows with each row of bins stacked vertically. A common feed pipe connects the multiple storage bins, and the feed pipe is installed inside the silo body and communicates with each storage bin. An infeed mechanism for adding silica sand into the feed pipe is located at the upper end of the silo body. Each storage bin includes a bin body and a sliding plate. A discharge port is located at the lower end of the bin body. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the lower end of the bin body and blocks the discharge port. A drive assembly for moving the sliding plate is provided on the silo body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, materials can be added to each storage bin simultaneously through the feeding mechanism. This concentrates the materials in multiple storage bins within the silo, allowing the bottom walls of these bins to bear the load of the materials. This reduces the occurrence of material compaction and caking within the homogenization silo. Furthermore, when materials need to be discharged from the silo, the drive assembly can be controlled to sequentially remove the blockages on the discharge ports of the storage bins from bottom to top. This allows for a sequential discharge process from bottom to top, resulting in smoother silica sand discharge and reducing the risk of blockages due to excessive material load, thus improving the smoothness of silica sand discharge.

[0009] Optionally, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper installed at the upper end of the silo body, a distributing cone is provided below the feeding hopper, the distributing cone is coaxially arranged with the feeding hopper, and a plurality of feeding pipes are arranged around the axis of the distributing cone, the feeding pipes being connected to the feed pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, materials can be added into the feed hopper, and the materials can be evenly distributed into each feed pipe through the distribution cone. Then, the materials enter the feed pipe through the feed pipe and enter each storage box through the feed pipe.

[0011] Optionally, the feeding mechanism may further include a clearing component for clearing the feeding hopper.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower part of the feed hopper can be cleared by the unblocking component, reducing the occurrence of material blockage at the lower part of the feed hopper.

[0013] Optionally, the unblocking component includes a material distribution platform installed on the upper end of the tank body. The material distribution platform is coaxially arranged with the material distribution cone and placed at the lower end of the material distribution cone. A cylinder is installed inside the material distribution platform. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the material distribution cone, and the axis of the cylinder output shaft coincides with the axis of the material distribution cone.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder can be controlled to extend and retract, causing the cylinder to drive the material distribution cone to move up and down reciprocally, thereby clearing the lower end of the feed hopper. At the same time, the material distribution platform can divert the material.

[0015] Optionally, the feed pipe includes multiple branch pipes and discharge pipes. Each branch pipe corresponds to one of the feed pipes and is fixedly connected to and communicates with the feed pipe. Each branch pipe is fixedly connected to the silo body. Each discharge pipe corresponds to one of the storage boxes and is located in the upper part of the storage box. Each branch pipe corresponds to one of the storage boxes and the end of the branch pipe away from the feed mechanism is fixedly connected to and communicates with the discharge pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the material in each feed pipe can enter its corresponding branch pipe. Since the branch pipe is connected to the discharge pipe, the material entering each feed pipe can enter each storage box through the discharge pipe, thereby making the material in each storage box more even.

[0017] Optionally, the discharge pipe has multiple discharge holes arranged along the length of the discharge pipe on its arc-shaped sidewall. A sealing plate for sealing the discharge holes is provided below the discharge holes. Multiple first telescopic rods are fixedly connected between the sealing plate and the discharge pipe. The storage box is provided with an adjustment component for controlling whether the sealing plate seals the discharge holes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting component can control the sealing plate to seal the discharge hole in sequence, thereby changing the landing point of the material in the storage box. This makes the material distribution in the storage box more uniform, reduces the phenomenon of cone-shaped material piles at a certain landing point, and improves the storage capacity of the storage box.

[0019] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes a load-bearing plate placed above the slide plate, the load-bearing plate corresponding one-to-one with the discharge hole, multiple load-bearing plates located in the same plane and parallel to the slide plate, multiple second telescopic rods fixedly connected between the load-bearing plate and the slide plate, the second telescopic rods being fitted with springs for supporting the second telescopic rods, and the telescopic ends of the second telescopic rods being fixedly connected to the sealing plate with a connecting rope for connecting the two.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, most of the material discharged through the discharge hole can fall onto its corresponding load-bearing plate. The weight of the material discharged through the discharge hole will continuously compress the spring, causing the second telescopic rod to retract. Subsequently, the second telescopic rod will drive the sealing plate to seal the discharge hole through the connecting rope. Thus, when the material on the load-bearing plate reaches a certain level, the discharge hole located above the load-bearing plate will be automatically sealed by the sealing plate, thereby making the material more evenly distributed in the storage box.

[0021] Optionally, the drive assembly includes multiple hydraulic cylinders, each corresponding to a storage bin. The hydraulic cylinders are fixed to the outer wall of the storage body, and the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders are fixed to the sliding plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder can be controlled to drive the sliding plate to slide, thereby quickly realizing the discharge of materials from the storage box.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Materials can be concentrated in multiple storage bins within the silo, allowing the bottom walls of these bins to bear the load of the materials, thereby reducing the occurrence of compaction and caking of materials within the homogenization silo.

[0025] 2. By controlling the drive component, the sliding plates in the storage bin from bottom to top can sequentially remove the blockage of the discharge port, thereby enabling the material to be discharged sequentially from bottom to top in the storage bin. This makes the discharge of silica sand smoother, reduces the occurrence of material blockage due to excessive material load, and improves the smoothness of silica sand discharge.

[0026] 3. The adjusting component controls the sealing plate to seal the discharge hole in sequence, thereby changing the drop point of the material in the storage box. This makes the material distribution in the storage box more uniform, reduces the phenomenon of cone-shaped material piles at a certain drop point, and improves the storage capacity of the storage box.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0034] An embodiment of this application is: a device for uniformly distributing silica sand in a homogenization silo, referring to... Figure 1It includes a storage tank 1, which is rectangular in shape and tapers gradually at the bottom with a discharge port 11. The upper end of the storage tank 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 4 for adding materials into the storage tank 1.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding hopper 41 installed at the upper end of the hopper body 1, with the lower end of the feeding hopper 41 gradually tapering. A distribution cone 42 is located below the feeding hopper 41, and the distribution cone 42 is coaxially arranged with the feeding hopper 41. Multiple feeding pipes 43 are arranged around the distribution cone 42, equidistantly around its axis. The openings of the feeding pipes 43 are arranged around the axis of the distribution cone 42 and are fixedly connected to the distribution cone.

[0036] The feeding mechanism 4 also includes a clearing assembly 44 for clearing the feeding hopper 41. The clearing assembly 44 includes a distributing platform 441 fixedly connected within the silo body 1. The distributing platform 441 is coaxially arranged with the distributing cone 42 and positioned at the lower end of the distributing cone 42. A groove is formed on the upper end face of the distributing platform 441, and a cylinder 442 is installed in the groove. The output shaft of the cylinder 442 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the distributing cone 42. The axis of the output shaft of the cylinder 442 coincides with the axis of the distributing cone 42, and the extension and retraction direction of the cylinder 442 coincides with the axis of the distributing cone 42.

[0037] By adding material into the feed hopper 41, the material will fall onto the distribution cone 42 and be diverted under the concentration of the feed hopper 41. At the same time, by controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder 442, the cylinder 442 will drive the distribution cone 42 to move up and down reciprocally, and clear the lower end of the feed hopper 41, reducing the occurrence of blockage at the lower end of the feed hopper 41.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage tank 1 is fixedly connected to multiple storage bins 2, which are rectangular in shape. In this embodiment, there are six storage bins 2 arranged in two rows, with each row of storage bins 2 stacked vertically. A common feed pipe 3 is provided between the two rows of storage bins 2, and the feed pipe 3 is arranged along the length of the storage tank 1.

[0039] The feed pipe 3 includes six branch pipes 31 and six discharge pipes 32. Each branch pipe 31 corresponds to one of the feed pipes 43, and the upper end of each branch pipe 31 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the lower end of the feed pipe 43. The lower end of each branch pipe 31 corresponds to one of the storage bins 2, and the lower end of each branch pipe 31 passes through the side wall of the storage bin 2 and is placed inside the storage bin 2. Each discharge pipe 32 corresponds to one of the storage bins 2, and the discharge pipe 32 is arranged along the length of the storage bin 2 and fixedly connected inside the storage bin 2. Both ends of the discharge pipe 32 gradually slope towards the bottom of the storage bin 2. One end of each branch pipe 31 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the side wall of the discharge pipe 32, and the end of the branch pipe 31 closest to the discharge pipe 32 slopes towards the bottom of the storage bin 2.

[0040] Thus, the material entering the feed pipe 43 can enter the branch pipe 31 under the action of gravity, and then enter the discharge pipe 32 through the branch pipe 31.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower end of the discharge pipe 32 has three discharge holes 321, which are equidistantly arranged along the length of the discharge pipe 32. Each discharge hole 321 has a sealing plate 322 below it, with the end face of the sealing plate 322 parallel to the bottom wall of the storage box 2. The sealing plate 322 is used to seal the discharge holes 321. Two first telescopic rods 323 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the discharge holes 321. The extension and retraction direction of the first telescopic rods 323 is perpendicular to the upper end face of the sealing plate 322, and the ends of the first telescopic rods 323 are fixedly connected to the sealing plate. The storage box 2 is equipped with an adjustment assembly 6 for controlling whether the sealing plate 322 seals the discharge holes 321.

[0042] The storage bin 2 includes a storage bin body 21 and a sliding plate 22. A discharge port 211 is provided at the lower end of the storage bin body 21, and the bottom wall of the storage bin body 21 gradually slopes downwards near the discharge port 211. The sliding plate 22 is slidably connected to the lower end of the storage bin body 21 and blocks the discharge port 211. The adjusting assembly 6 includes three load-bearing plates 61, which are positioned above the sliding plate 22. Each load-bearing plate 61 corresponds to a discharge hole 321 and is positioned directly below the discharge hole 321. The multiple load-bearing plates 61 are located in the same plane and are parallel to the sliding plate 22.

[0043] Multiple second telescopic rods 62 are fixedly connected between the load-bearing plate 61 and the sliding plate 22. Springs 63 are fitted inside each second telescopic rod 62 to support it, keeping it extended. Three connecting ropes 64 are installed inside the storage bin 2. Each connecting rope 64 corresponds to a sealing plate 322, and one end of each rope 64 is divided into three strands and fixedly connected to the sealing plate 322. Three guide wheels 7 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the discharge pipe 32. Each guide wheel 7 corresponds to a connecting rope 64. The end of each connecting rope 64 away from the sealing plate 322 passes around the guide wheel 7, through the side wall of the load-bearing plate 61, and is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic end of one of the second telescopic rods 62 below the load-bearing plate 61.

[0044] Thus, the material entering the discharge pipe 32 through the branch pipe 31 first enters the middle discharge hole 321 among the three discharge holes 321. Subsequently, most of the material discharged through the discharge hole 321 falls onto the load-bearing plate 61 corresponding to the middle discharge hole 321. The weight of the material discharged from the discharge hole 321 continuously compresses the spring 63, causing the second telescopic rod 62 to retract. The second telescopic rod 62 then moves the sealing plate 322 towards the discharge hole 321 via the connecting rope 64, ultimately sealing the discharge hole 321. The material can then flow along the discharge pipe 32 through the discharge hole 321 located at the edge of the discharge pipe 32 and fall. Therefore, when the load on the load-bearing plate 61 reaches a certain level, the discharge hole 321 above the load-bearing plate 61 will be automatically sealed by the sealing plate 322.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The storage tank 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 5 for sliding the slide plate 22. The drive assembly 5 includes multiple hydraulic cylinders 51, each corresponding to a storage tank 2 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 1. The storage tank 1 has multiple sliding holes for the hydraulic cylinders 51 to drive the slide plate 22. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 22. Therefore, the hydraulic cylinders 51 can be controlled to drive the slide plate 22, causing the slide plate 22 to either block or unblock the discharge port 211.

[0046] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: materials can be added into the feed hopper 41, and then the materials can be divided by the distribution cone 42 and enter each distribution pipe 31 relatively evenly. Thus, materials can be added into each storage box 2 at the same time. At the same time, under the action of the adjustment component 6, the blocking state of the sealing plate 322 at the discharge hole 321 can be controlled to make the materials more evenly distributed in the storage box 2.

[0047] When discharging materials, the hydraulic cylinder 51 located at the bottom of the silo body 1 can be activated to move the sliding plate 22 inside the storage box 2 located at the bottom, so that the sliding plate 22 is disengaged from the discharge port 211, thereby discharging the materials in the storage box 2 at the bottom. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 51 can be activated sequentially from bottom to top to discharge materials from the storage boxes 2 in sequence.

[0048] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
