Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, and in particular to an energy-saving feeding device for a bucket elevator. Background Art
[0002] Bucket elevators are widely used in the field of solid bulk material transportation. When the bucket elevator is working, the material enters the bucket of the elevator from the lower feed port of the elevator, and the material is lifted to the required height through the bucket and discharged from the discharge port of the elevator. Generally, the material enters the elevator from the feed port, most of the material enters the bucket, and some of the material cannot enter the bucket and falls into the lower part of the elevator. The bucket digs the material, which not only increases the running resistance of the elevator, but also increases the wear of the bucket and increases the maintenance cost of the equipment. At present, bucket elevators are directly approached by the feed port and the bucket for loading. For example, the disclosed patent 2018112373186 discloses a bucket elevator. A certain gap is left between the feed port and the traction member of the elevator to prevent the bucket and the feed port from scratching during the normal operation of the elevator, resulting in damage to the bucket and the traction member. When the gap is too small, scrapes will occur between the hopper and the feed port. When the gap is too large, the material cannot completely enter the hopper, and some of the material falls directly to the bottom of the elevator. The material at the bottom can only be taken away by digging through the hopper, which increases the operating resistance of the elevator. The elevator has part of its energy to overcome this part of the operating resistance, and this part of the energy is useless. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an energy-saving feeding device for a bucket elevator. A movable feeding device is added between the feed port and the hopper. This device is seamlessly connected to the hopper. The purpose is to allow all materials to enter the hopper and prevent them from falling to the bottom of the elevator, thereby eliminating the operating resistance of the elevator and saving energy.
[0004] The present invention provides an energy-saving feeding device for a bucket elevator, comprising a machine body, a transmission chain, a hopper, a power motor and a steering support wheel, wherein the transmission chain is arranged in the machine body, the hopper is suspended on the transmission chain, the power motor is arranged between the transmission chains, the transmission chain is steered by the steering support wheel, a feed port is arranged on one side of the machine body, the feed port is inclined and arranged facing the approaching hopper, a feeding device is arranged at the lower end of the feed port, the feeding device comprises a mounting shaft, a feed trough and a baffle, the mounting shaft is arranged at the upper end of the feed trough, the baffles are arranged on both sides of the feed trough, and the mounting shaft is installed at the lower end of the feed port of the machine body through a shaft seat.
[0005] A further improvement is that one end of the feed trough rotates around the mounting shaft, and the other end of the feed trough is located directly above the hopper. When the hopper is running, the feeding device moves upward with the hopper to avoid the hopper. After the hopper passes, it automatically falls back to the next hopper outlet.
[0006] A further improvement is that an anti-collision barrier strip is provided at the lower end of the feed chute, and the feed chute is protected by the anti-collision barrier strip made of soft material.
[0007] A further improvement is that a buffer pad is provided on the side edge of the hopper.
[0008] A further improvement is that a vent is provided on the right side of the machine body, and air is blown into the machine body from the vent through an external air pump to blow off the materials stuck between the hopper and the machine body.
[0009] A further improvement is that a speed detection device is arranged beside the transmission chain, and the moving speed of the transmission chain is detected by the speed detection device.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a movable feeding device is added between the feed port and the hopper, and the device is seamlessly connected to the hopper, so that all the materials enter the hopper and do not fall to the bottom of the elevator, thereby eliminating the running resistance of the elevator, thereby saving energy. At the same time, the edge of the hopper is protected by anti-collision bars or buffer blocks, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing equipment loss. At the same time, the materials adhered to the hopper and the body are blown off through the vent. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
