Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on July 5, 2024, with application number 2024216068060 and invention name “A Rotary Rake Screen”, all contents of which are incorporated by reference in this application. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of garbage separation, in particular to a rotary rake screen. Background Art

[0003] At present, the rotary rake screen is highly valued in the field of separation of light and heavy garbage in the environmental protection industry, especially in the separation of stale garbage and domestic garbage, and the effect is obvious. The structure of the rotary rake screen is mainly composed of a base, a shield, a mixture conveyor, a light material conveyor, a number of rotary rake devices, a rake cleaning device, a wind source, a transmission system, etc. After starting up, the rotary rake device rotates at a high speed, and the rotary rake is equipped with elastic rake teeth, which rotate along the specified path. When the mixed material enters the equipment through the mixture conveyor, the moving elastic rake teeth will quickly rake up the light material and drag it to the light material conveyor on one side. Due to the limited elastic force of the rake teeth, heavy materials (such as large stones) cannot be moved, so the heavy materials remain on the mixture conveyor, thereby achieving the purpose of separating light and heavy materials.

[0004] However, the tooth screen of the current rotary rake device has a certain distance between each rake tooth, that is, there is a tooth gap between each rake tooth, and small and medium-sized light materials, such as paper and plastic, can easily pass through the gap between the rake teeth and slip away, and cannot be taken away by the rake teeth, resulting in some small and medium-sized light materials remaining in the heavy material pile; that is, the existing rotary rake tooth screen is not very effective in screening small and medium-sized light materials;

[0005] In addition, although the existing rotary rake screen is equipped with an air supply device, the air supply device is arranged longitudinally along the mixture conveyor, that is, parallel to the running direction of the material, that is, perpendicular to the cross-section of the mixture pile. Therefore, the wind blown out from the air nozzle of the air supply device cannot cover the entire area of ​​the mixture pile, but can only blow locally, and the wind blown out from the air nozzle is a line, and the wind blown to the material pile is a point; that is to say, the air supply device of the existing rotary rake screen cannot fully play its role.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] The rotary rake screen provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a main frame 1, a first conveying unit 5, a second conveying unit 6 and a plurality of rotary rake units 4;

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotary rake unit 4 includes: a rotary chain assembly, a plurality of rake teeth 17 and a plurality of rake brushes 28;

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the first conveying unit 5 and the second conveying unit 6 are adjacently arranged on the main frame 1;

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotary chain assembly is disposed above the first conveying unit 5 and has two chains 16 capable of circumferential movement, and the movement direction of the two chains 16 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying unit 5;

[0059] A plurality of rake teeth 17 and a plurality of rake brushes 28 are respectively arranged between the two chains 16 and distributed along the circumference of the two chains 16; wherein the plurality of rake teeth 17 move circumferentially with the two chains 16, and are used to rake up the light materials in the mixed material conveyed by the first conveying unit 5 and bring them to the second conveying unit 6; the plurality of rake brushes 28 move circumferentially with the two chains 16, and are used to sweep up small and medium-sized pieces of light materials in the mixed material conveyed by the first conveying unit 5 and bring them to the second conveying unit 6.

[0060] It should be noted that if Figure 1As shown, the rotary rake screen also includes: a front guard 2, a rear guard 3, a rake cleaning device 9 and an auxiliary material conveyor 10; the auxiliary material conveyor 10 is arranged above the first conveying unit 5 and the second conveying unit 6, and the materials brought up by the rake teeth 1 or the rake brush 28 must pass through the auxiliary material conveyor 10 before being brought to the second conveying unit 6; the front guard 2 and the rear guard 3 are respectively arranged on the front and rear of the main frame 1, wherein the main frame 1 can be a base;

[0061] If there are multiple rotary rake units 4, they can be arranged in parallel and at intervals on the main frame 1; the first conveying unit 5 and the second conveying unit 6 are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other on the main frame 1, the first conveying unit 5 is used to convey the mixed material, and the first conveying unit 5 can be a mixture conveyor, and the second conveying unit 6 is used to receive and convey the light material or small and medium-sized light material screened by the rotary rake unit 4, and the second conveying unit 6 can be a light material conveyor;

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotary chain assembly is arranged above the first conveying unit 5 and the second conveying unit 6, and the rotary chain assembly includes: a reduction motor, a driving shaft assembly 14, a driven shaft assembly 15, an adjusting sprocket 12, a tensioning sprocket 13, two chains 16 and a bracket; wherein the driving shaft assembly 14 includes: a driving shaft and two driving sprockets, and the driven shaft assembly 15 includes: a driven shaft 19 and two driven sprockets;

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving shaft is rotatably arranged on the bracket, and the driving sprockets are respectively sleeved at both ends thereof, the driven shaft 19 is rotatably arranged on the bracket, and the driven sprockets are respectively sleeved at both ends thereof, the driving shaft and the driven shaft 19 are distributed in parallel, and are both parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying unit 5, the driving shaft is located above the second conveying unit 6, and the driven shaft 19 is located above the first conveying unit 5;

[0064] Of the two chains 16, the first chain is respectively engaged with a driving sprocket at one end of the driving shaft and a driven sprocket at one end of the driven shaft 19, and the second chain is respectively engaged with a driving sprocket at the other end of the driving shaft and a driven sprocket at the other end of the driven shaft 19;

[0065] The adjusting sprocket 12 is arranged on the bracket, and is used to mesh with the portion of the chain 16 between the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket; the tensioning sprocket 13 is arranged on the bracket, and is used to mesh with the other portion of the chain 16 between the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket;

[0066] The reduction motor is arranged on the bracket, and its output end is connected to one end of the driving shaft through a coupling, so as to drive the driving shaft assembly 14 to rotate, thereby driving the two chains 16 to move synchronously in the circumferential direction, and then driving the multiple rake teeth 17 and the multiple rake brushes 28 to move in the circumferential direction with the two chains 16; of course, the multiple rake teeth 17 and the multiple rake brushes 28 are staggered and distributed to avoid interference between the multiple rake teeth 17 and the multiple rake brushes 28; wherein, the multiple rake teeth 17 move in the circumferential direction with the two chains 16, so as to rake up the light materials in the mixed material transported by the first conveying unit 5 and drag them to the second conveying unit 6, so as to realize the mixed material Separation of light materials; multiple rake brushes 28 move circumferentially with the two chains 16, so that the multiple rake brushes 28 act as a broom, which is used to sweep up small and medium-sized light materials (which can also be small and medium-sized particles of light materials) in the mixed material conveyed by the first conveying unit 5 and sweep them into the second conveying unit 6, thereby achieving the separation of small and medium-sized light materials in the mixed material, avoiding small and medium-sized light materials from remaining in the heavy material pile, and helping to improve the screening effect of the rotary rake tooth screen on small and medium-sized light materials; of course, considering the flexibility of the rake brush 28, the rake brush 28 cannot sweep heavy materials (such as large stones) into the second conveying unit 6 for separation.

[0067] In addition, in order to facilitate the bringing of small and medium-sized light materials that have drilled through and slipped away from the tooth gaps of the rake teeth 17 onto the second conveying unit 6, that is, to facilitate the sweeping of small and medium-sized light materials or small and medium-sized granular light materials that have been screened out by the rake teeth 17 onto the second conveying unit 6, multiple rake teeth 17 can be distributed one by one between two adjacent rake brushes 28, that is, among the multiple rake teeth 17 distributed along the circumference of the two chains 16, a rake brush 28 can be distributed between every two adjacent rake teeth 17, that is, one rake tooth 17 can be spaced between two adjacent rake brushes 28; of course, multiple rake teeth 17 can also be spaced between two adjacent rake brushes 28.

[0068] That is to say, in the rotary rake screen provided by the present scheme, not only a plurality of rake teeth 17 but also a plurality of rake brushes 28 are arranged along the circumference of the two chains 16 of the rotary chain assembly, which can sweep the small and medium-sized light materials screened out by the rake teeth 17 onto the second conveying unit 6, and also can separate the small and medium-sized light materials that slip out of the rake teeth 17 and remain on the side wall of the first conveying unit 5 onto the second conveying unit 6, so as to avoid the small and medium-sized light materials from remaining in the heavy material pile, thereby helping to improve the screening effect of the rotary rake screen on small and medium-sized light materials.

[0069] In this scheme, if Figure 2 As shown, there are a plurality of rake teeth 17 between two adjacent rake brushes 28. Among them, there can be one rake tooth 17, two rake teeth 17, three rake teeth 17, four rake teeth 17 or more material rake teeth 17 between two adjacent rake brushes 28, and as Figure 2As shown, three rake teeth 17 may be spaced between two adjacent rake brushes 28, and five rake teeth 17 may be spaced between another two adjacent rake brushes 28; that is, the actual number of rake brushes 28 may not be fixed, and may be determined according to the working conditions;

[0070] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the rake brush 28 and the rake teeth 17 are arranged at the same height on the two chains 16 of the rotary rake unit 4. Figure 3 As shown, the rake brushes 28 and rake teeth 17 located on the horizontal sections of the two chains 16 are arranged at the same height to ensure that the operating radius of the rake brushes 28 is the same as the operating radius of the rake teeth 17, so that the movement trajectory of the rake brushes 28 matches the conveying profile of the first conveying unit 5.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 3 Shown, the rake brush 28 is a flexible rake brush 11. That is, the rake brush 28 has flexibility, so that the rake brush 28 cannot sweep up the heavy materials (such as large stones) in the mixed material and bring them onto the second conveying unit 6, thereby ensuring that the rake brush 28 can only separate the small and medium-sized light materials.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the rotary rake unit 4 also includes a plurality of rake brush brackets 26;

[0073] A plurality of rake brush brackets 26 are respectively disposed between the two chains 16 and distributed along the circumference of the two chains 16;

[0074] Multiple flexible rake brushes 11 are arranged one by one on multiple rake brush brackets 26. That is, multiple flexible rake brushes 11 are arranged one by one between two chains 16 through multiple rake brush brackets 26, which can help improve the stability and reliability of multiple flexible rake brushes 11 being arranged between two chains 16; wherein, the rake brush bracket 26 can be arranged across between two chains 16 and can serve as a support frame or mounting frame for the flexible rake brush 11, and the flexible rake brush 11 is arranged on the rake brush bracket 26 and can be distributed between two chains 16, and in addition, the rake brush bracket 26 can be made of angle steel.

[0075] In addition, the flexible rake brush 11 can be a square strip-shaped flexible rake brush. Among them, the flexible rake brush 11 can be a strip structure (such as Figure 3 As shown), it can be a square structure when viewed from the front, that is, the flexible rake brush 11 is a square strip brush, so as to facilitate better sweeping of small pieces of light materials or small and medium particles of light materials in the mixed material pile onto the second conveying unit 6.

[0076] Further, the flexible rake brush 11 comprises: flexible bristles and a bristle carrier;

[0077] The bristle carrier is arranged on the rake brush bracket 26; wherein the bristle carrier can be a square strip carrier, and can be obtained by processing wood or nylon;

[0078] The flexible bristles are densely arranged on the bristle carrier and distributed between the two chains 16. The flexible bristles can be densely arranged on the edge of the bristle carrier along the length direction of the bristle carrier, so that the flexible bristles form a square strip-shaped rake brush as described above, and are distributed between the two chains 16. In this way, the flexible rake brush 11 can be formed into a square strip-shaped brush, which is convenient for sweeping the remaining small and medium-sized pieces of light materials or small and medium-sized particles of light materials in the mixed material pile onto the second conveying unit 6. In this cycle, most of the light materials in the mixed material pile can be separated.

[0079] In this scheme, if Figure 2 As shown, as described above, the slewing chain assembly also has: a driving shaft assembly 14 and a driven shaft assembly 15;

[0080] The arrangement direction of the driving shaft assembly 14 and the driven shaft assembly 15 is parallel to the conveying direction of the first conveying unit 5, and the driven shaft assembly 15 is closer to the first conveying unit 5 than the driving shaft assembly 14; wherein the driven shaft assembly 15 is arranged above the first conveying unit 5, and the driving shaft assembly 14 is arranged above the second conveying unit 6 and is higher than the driven shaft assembly 15;

[0081] The first chain of the two chains 16 is respectively meshed with one end of the driving shaft assembly 14 and the driven shaft assembly 15, and the second chain is respectively meshed with the other end of the driving shaft assembly 14 and the driven shaft assembly 15; wherein the first chain is respectively meshed with the driving sprocket at one end of the driving shaft assembly 14 and the driven sprocket at one end of the driven shaft assembly 15, and the second chain is respectively meshed with the driving sprocket at the other end of the driving shaft assembly 14 and the driven sprocket at the other end of the driven shaft assembly 15;

[0082] The rotary rake screen also includes an air supply unit;

[0083] The air supply unit is arranged on the driven shaft assembly 15 and can rotate with the driven shaft assembly 15; wherein the air supply unit has an air outlet slit and is distributed along the axial direction of the driven shaft assembly 15, so that the air blown out by the air supply unit is a surface. Figure 6As shown, the air supply area of ​​the air supply unit is formed into a cylinder by the surface, that is, a vortex blowing toward the second conveying unit 6 is formed, which is convenient for covering the entire area of ​​the mixed material pile, avoiding only local blowing, and ensuring that the air supply unit can fully play its role; and when the mixed material pile enters the screening area of ​​the rotary rake unit, the air supply area formed by the air supply unit is a cylindrical vortex air supply area, so that when the rake teeth 17 extend into and stir the mixed material pile, the vortex will quickly blow the light material away from the mixed material pile, and the rake teeth 17 that follow closely will bring it to the second conveying unit 6; in addition, the air supply pressure of the air supply unit can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so as to avoid small pieces of heavy materials being blown onto the second conveying unit 6 due to excessive wind pressure, and to avoid incomplete separation of light materials due to low wind pressure.

[0084] That is to say, the air supply unit of the present scheme can be a rotating air supply unit that rotates with the driven shaft assembly 15, so as to form a cylindrical vortex air supply area, thereby facilitating better coverage of the entire mixed material pile area, and also facilitating blowing light materials away from the mixed material pile, and then bringing them to the second conveying unit 6 by the closely following rake teeth 17.

[0085] Further, as described above, the driven shaft assembly 15 includes: a driven shaft 19 and two driven sprockets respectively sleeved on both ends of the driven shaft 19;

[0086] One side of the first chain and the second chain meshes with the driven sprockets at both ends of the driven shaft 19 one by one; correspondingly, the other side of the first chain and the second chain meshes with the driving sprockets at both ends of the driving shaft one by one;

[0087] like Figure 5 As shown, the air supply unit is arranged on the outer wall of the middle part of the driven shaft 19 and is located between two driven sprockets (not shown in the figure). This can avoid interference between the air supply unit and other parts of the driven shaft assembly 15, and also facilitate the air supply unit to form a cylindrical vortex air supply area.

[0088] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the air supply unit includes: an air knife 20, a rotary joint 21, a solenoid valve 22, an air pipe 24 and an air source 8;

[0089] An air duct is provided in the driven shaft 19, and a first end of the air duct passes through a first end surface of the driven shaft 19, and a second end of the air duct passes through an outer wall of a middle portion of the driven shaft 19;

[0090] The rotary joint 21 is disposed at the first end of the air duct;

[0091] The air pipe 24 is connected between the air source 8 and the rotary joint 21 and is provided with a solenoid valve 22;

[0092] The wind knife 20 is arranged outside the middle part of the driven shaft 19 , and its air inlet is connected with the second end of the air duct, and the air outlet slots are distributed along the blade 27 of the wind knife 20 .

[0093] It should be noted that if Figure 5 As shown, the air duct of the driven shaft 19 is the gas flow channel of the driven shaft 19, and its first end penetrates the first end surface of the driven shaft 19 (such as Figure 5 The left end face of the driven shaft 19 in the middle), the second end penetrates the outer wall of the middle part of the driven shaft 19; the air outlet end of the rotary joint 21 is connected to the first end of the air duct; one end of the air pipe 24 is connected to the air outlet of the wind source 8, and the other end is connected to the air inlet end of the rotary joint 21, and the wind source 8 can be a fan or an air compressor; the middle part of the air pipe 24 is provided with a solenoid valve 22, and the number of the solenoid valves 22 can be two, which are used to adjust the wind pressure (air volume) and the air supply timing according to the instructions of the controller; the wind knife 20 is arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the driven shaft 19 through the wind knife bracket 25, wherein, as Figure 5 As shown, the air supply unit also includes a wind knife bracket 25; the wind knife bracket 25 is arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the driven shaft 19; the wind knife 20 is arranged on the wind knife bracket 25, which can make the arrangement of the wind knife 20 on the outer side of the middle part of the driven shaft 19 more stable and reliable; the wind knife bracket 25 can be a U-shaped wind knife bracket, and the two side parts of the U-shaped wind knife bracket can be welded to the outer wall of the middle part of the driven shaft 19, and the wind knife 20 can be arranged on the outer side of the middle part (horizontal part) of the U-shaped wind knife bracket; as shown Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the air outlet slots of the wind knife 20 are distributed along its blade 27, ensuring that the wind blown out by the wind knife 20 is a surface (air supply surface), such as Figure 5 As shown, the air supply surface can be parallel to the axial direction of the driven shaft 19 , that is, the air outlet slot of the wind knife 20 can be parallel to the axial direction of the driven shaft 19 .

[0094] Among them, wind can be obtained from the wind source 8, and then pass through the solenoid valve 22 to control the air volume, air supply time, etc., and then enter the rotary joint 21 through the air pipe 24. The rotary joint 21 isolates the air pipe 24 from the movement state of the driven shaft 19 to prevent the air pipe 24 from rotating with the rotation of the driven shaft 19. After passing through the rotary joint 21, the wind enters the air duct of the driven shaft 19, and finally enters the wind knife 20 to discharge air.

[0095] That is to say, the air supply unit of the present invention adopts a wind knife 20 arranged on the driven shaft 19, and the wind blown out forms an air supply surface through its air outlet slot, and then a cylindrical vortex air supply area can be formed under the drive of the driven shaft 19. Compared with the air duct structure of the existing air supply device, this can obviously effectively improve the air supply effect of the air supply unit.

[0096] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, since there is a wind knife bracket 25 between the wind knife 20 and the outer wall of the middle part of the driven shaft 19, it is difficult to directly connect the second end of the air duct with the air inlet of the wind knife 20; to solve the above problem, the air inlet of the wind knife 20 is located at one end of the wind knife 20 (such as Figure 5 The left end portion of the wind blade 20), and close to the first end surface of the driven shaft 19;

[0097] The second end of the air duct is located between the first end surface of the driven shaft 19 and the air inlet of the wind knife 20;

[0098] The air supply unit also includes a quick-connect connector 23;

[0099] One end of the quick-connect connector 23 is plugged into the second end of the air duct, and the other end is plugged into the air inlet of the air knife 20. In other words, the second end of the air duct can be conveniently connected to the air inlet of the air knife 20 through the quick-connect connector 23, that is, the second end of the air duct can be indirectly connected to the air inlet of the air knife 20 through the quick-connect connector 23.

[0100] In this solution, the air supply unit also includes a static elimination device;

[0101] The static elimination device is arranged on one side of the air outlet direction of the air outlet slit of the wind knife 20, and can ionize oxygen molecules or water molecules in the air into positive and negative ions. The extension line of the ionization outlet of the static elimination device intersects with the air outlet direction of the air outlet slit of the wind knife 20, so that these positive and negative ions can be blown to the surface of the object that needs to eliminate static electricity and dust along with the air supply of the wind knife 20, so as to eliminate static electricity on the surface of the object and prevent materials and dust from sticking to the inner wall of the equipment. In addition, the wind knife 20 can use clean industrial compressed air as the air source, so as to facilitate the high-speed blowing of uniform, large-flow, and high-intensity airflow; in addition, the static elimination device can use an ion rod, and an ionizer is installed inside the ion rod, which can ionize oxygen molecules or water molecules in the air into positive and negative ions.

[0102] That is to say, this solution adds a static elimination device to the wind knife 20 so that the wind knife 20 has a static elimination function, thereby facilitating the elimination of static electricity inside the equipment and preventing materials and dust from sticking to the inner wall of the equipment.

[0103] In addition, it should be noted that after the mixed material pile enters the rotary rake screen device, it first passes through the screening area of ​​the front rotary rake unit 4, and the rotary rake unit 4 drives the rake teeth 17 (such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the rake teeth 17 rotate along a predetermined trajectory, and the rows of rake teeth 17 stir the mixed material pile horizontally. Since the moving direction of the rake teeth 17 is perpendicular to the direction of material conveying, the rake teeth 17 can drag away light materials from the mixed material pile and separate them, such as cloth strips, plastic bags, etc. However, since the rake teeth 17 are elastic, the lateral thrust they exert on the material is limited. When encountering large pieces of material, the rake teeth 17 will bend and deform elastically to pass over the large pieces of material, and only take away the light materials (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after the mixed material pile passes through the screening area of ​​the rotary rake unit 4, most of the light materials have been dragged by the rake teeth and reach the light material conveyor through the auxiliary material conveyor 10 to wait for entering other process links, while the remaining heavy materials and a small part of the light materials enter the screening area of ​​the rear rotary rake unit 4 along the mixture conveyor.

[0104] When the remaining mixed material pile enters the screening area of ​​the rotary rake unit 4, due to the certain distance between the rake teeth, small and medium-sized pieces of light matter may drill out and slip away from the rake tooth gaps. However, since flexible rake brushes are arranged behind the rake teeth, these flexible rake brushes can be strip-shaped, and densely arranged wear-resistant material bristles on the brushes, these flexible rake brushes are equivalent to brooms, which can take away the remaining small and medium-sized pieces of light matter, especially bring the small and medium-sized pieces of light matter stranded on the side wall of the mixture conveyor into the light material conveyor. In this cycle, most of the light matter in the mixed material pile can be separated.

[0105] Mixture conveyor (first conveying unit 5): The reduction motor drives the active roller to rotate through the sprocket and chain, and the active roller drives the passive roller to rotate through the friction of the conveying belt.

[0106] Light material conveyor (second conveying unit 6): The reduction motor drives the active roller to rotate through the sprocket and chain, and the active roller drives the passive roller to rotate through the friction of the conveying belt.

[0107] Auxiliary conveyor: The reduction motor drives the conveyor drum to rotate through the sprocket and chain.

[0108] Rotary rake unit: The reduction motor drives the drive shaft assembly (drive shaft component 14) to rotate through the coupling, and the drive shaft assembly drives the driven shaft assembly (driven shaft component 15), two adjusting sprockets, and two tensioning sprockets to rotate through the drive sprockets and chains on both sides. A number of angle steels are fixedly installed between the two chains, and rake teeth or flexible brushes can be installed on the angle steels, so that the rake teeth and flexible brushes can move with the rotation of the chain; in addition, the air supply device (air supply unit) fixed on the driven shaft can rotate together with the rotation of the driven shaft.

[0109] The base and the protective cover are both sealed structures, which can effectively prevent dust from escaping from the inside of the device.

[0110] In other words, this solution adopts a controllable rotating air supply device, which can control the operation of the solenoid valve according to the instructions of the controller to facilitate the adjustment of the wind pressure and air supply timing. A wind knife is added to the rotating air supply device. The wind blown by the wind knife is a surface, which will form a cylindrical vortex air supply area after rotation.

[0111] Among them, this scheme changes the traditional fixed-position tubular air supply structure into a rotary air supply device, and installs a wind knife on the driven shaft. The wind blown by the wind knife is a surface. When the driven shaft rotates, the air supply area changes from a surface to a cylinder, which can cover the entire area of ​​the mixed material pile. Of course, it will also form a vortex blowing towards the light material conveyor, and the air supply pressure of the rotary air supply device can be adjusted according to actual conditions to avoid small pieces of heavy materials being blown onto the light material conveyor due to excessive wind pressure; at the same time, the speed of the rotary rake unit is adjustable, which can not only save energy, but also reduce unnecessary wear between the rake teeth and the material pile and extend the service life of the rake teeth.
