Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehousing technology, specifically to a variable-capacity, mobile, modular horizontal warehouse. Background Technology

[0002] The gangue produced during underground production is discontinuous and uneven throughout the day, while the gangue filling by pumping is a balanced and continuous delivery. A storage buffer device, namely a storage bin, is needed to address the issue between the two.

[0003] Traditional vertical or inclined storage silos have fixed capacities that are difficult to change, and once installed in a fixed location, they are difficult to move, assemble, and reuse. Furthermore, vertical or inclined storage silos typically only have one outlet at the bottom, resulting in low discharge efficiency and a risk of clogging. In addition, it is difficult to evenly add auxiliary materials when storing the same material in the silo, making it difficult to meet diverse usage environments. Therefore, we propose a variable-capacity, movable, and modular horizontal silo, which allows for more flexible assembly and arrangement of the silo body to meet the usage requirements of different environments and is less prone to clogging. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a variable-capacity, mobile, modular horizontal storage unit, which solves the problem of fixed storage capacity and poor flexibility in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A variable-capacity, mobile, modular horizontal compartment includes a compartment body and support legs, wherein the support legs are disposed on the compartment body, and the compartment body is provided with multiple components;

[0008] Connecting seat, the connecting seat is disposed on one side of the compartment body;

[0009] A slide, which is disposed on the other side of the compartment body;

[0010] A connecting block is slidably disposed inside the slide seat, and the connecting block and the connecting seat are in a sliding fit.

[0011] The limiting pin has a limiting hole on the connecting seat and the connecting block, and the limiting pin and the limiting hole are in sliding fit.

[0012] An opening and closing assembly, used for opening and closing the bottom outlet of the chamber, the opening and closing assembly comprising:

[0013] An opening and closing plate is movably disposed at the bottom of the chamber body;

[0014] An agitation assembly, used to agitate the material within the silo, the agitation assembly comprising:

[0015] An agitator shaft is rotatably disposed inside the chamber.

[0016] A stirring rod, wherein multiple stirring rods are provided, and the stirring rods are disposed outside the stirring shaft;

[0017] A transmission assembly, used to achieve a transmission connection between two agitation assemblies within two adjacent chambers, the transmission assembly comprising:

[0018] Two dog clutches are provided, and the dog clutches are rotatably disposed on both sides of the chamber body. The two dog clutches are connected to the agitator shaft.

[0019] A clamping plate, which is mounted on the chamber body via a clamping spring and a telescopic rod;

[0020] Two dog clutches are provided, each dog clutch is rotatably mounted on the pressure plate, and the two dog clutches rotate synchronously. Each dog clutch is adapted to the first dog clutch.

[0021] A driving component is provided, wherein the opening and closing component drives the agitating component to rotate, and the driving component includes:

[0022] A drive rack is provided, which is connected to the opening and closing plate via a connecting frame, and buffer plates are provided on both sides of the drive rack;

[0023] Driven gear, the driven gear is coaxially mounted on the second toothed clutch, one driven gear on the same pressure plate meshes with the drive rack, and a transmission gear is provided between the two driven gears, the transmission gear meshes with the two driven gears.

[0024] To improve material dropping efficiency and reduce clogging, the bottom of the agitator shaft is coaxially equipped with helical blades.

[0025] To facilitate easy movement and assembly of the cargo compartment, the bottom of the support legs is equipped with casters with a self-locking structure.

[0026] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] 1. In this invention, the connecting block can be inserted into the interior of the connecting seat through the sliding cooperation of the connecting block and the sliding seat. The connecting seat and the connecting block are connected by the limiting pin to ensure the stability of the connection between the two compartments. Materials or auxiliary materials can be placed into the corresponding compartments to mix and transport the materials. The compartments can be spliced ​​more freely, the storage capacity is adjustable, and the compartments can be moved by the casters, making them highly adaptable.

[0028] 2. In this invention, the material falling into the bin can be controlled by the movement of the opening and closing plate, and the material is conveyed. At the same time, the opening and closing plate can drive the drive rack to move, which in turn drives the driven gear and the second dog clutch to rotate.

When the opening and closing plate moves, it can drive the drive rack to move. Under the action of the transmission component, it drives the stirring shaft, stirring rod and spiral blade to rotate, stirring the material in the bin, reducing the bin blockage phenomenon and facilitating the falling of the material.

[0044] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a variable-capacity mobile modular horizontal silo, including a silo body 1 and support legs 2. The support legs 2 are mounted on the silo body 1, and multiple silo bodies 1 are provided. It also includes a connecting component, an opening and closing component, an agitation component, a transmission component, and a drive component. Compared with the vertical or inclined storage silos in the prior art, this invention can adjust the storage capacity by setting multiple modular horizontal silos. At the same time, the material in the same silo body 1 is less, reducing the silo blockage phenomenon. The material falling is controlled by the movement of the opening and closing plate 201. At the same time, when the opening and closing plate 201 moves, it can drive the drive rack 501 to move. Under the action of the transmission component, the agitation shaft 301, agitation rod 302, and spiral blade 3 are driven to rotate, agitating the material in the silo body 1, reducing the silo blockage phenomenon, and facilitating the falling of the material.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the connecting assembly is used to connect two compartments 1. The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat 101, a slide 102, a connecting block 103, and a limiting pin 104. The connecting seat 101 is located on one side of the compartment 1, and the slide 102 is located on the other side of the compartment 1. The connecting block 103 is slidably disposed inside the slide 102, and the connecting block 103 and the connecting seat 101 are in a sliding fit. Limiting holes are provided on the connecting seat 101 and the connecting block 103, and the limiting pin 104 is in a sliding fit with the limiting holes. Multiple slides 102 and multiple connecting seats 101 are provided. A slider 105 is provided on the slide 102, and a groove matching the slider 105 is provided on the connecting block 103. A groove matching the slider 105 is provided on the connecting seat 101. The connecting groove, connecting block 103 and connecting groove are in sliding fit. Pushing the connecting block 103 can make it slide into the interior of the connecting seat 101. When the connecting block 103 contacts the inner wall of the connecting groove, the position of the limiting hole on the connecting block 103 and the connecting seat 101 coincides. The limiting pin 104 is put into the interior of the limiting hole, and the connecting block 103 and the connecting seat 101 can be connected, thereby realizing the connection between the two silos 1. By selecting an appropriate number of silos 1, the capacity of the variable volume mobile assembled horizontal silo can be changed to adapt to the storage of gangue and auxiliary materials in different environments. When it is necessary to disassemble the silo 1, the limiting pin 104 is pulled out from the limiting hole, and the connecting block 103 and the connecting seat 101 can be separated.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the opening and closing assembly is used to open and close the bottom outlet of the silo 1. The opening and closing assembly includes an opening and closing plate 201, which is movably disposed at the bottom of the silo 1. An electric cylinder 202 is disposed on the silo 1, and the opening and closing plate 201 is disposed at the output end of the electric cylinder 202. The opening and closing plate 201 and the bottom opening of the silo 1 are in sliding fit. The electric cylinder 202 can drive the opening and closing plate 201 to move, thereby opening and closing the bottom outlet of the silo 1. The material inside the silo 1 can be conveyed by falling onto the conveyor belt through the bottom outlet.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the agitation assembly is used to agitate the material inside the silo 1. The agitation assembly includes an agitation shaft 301 and an agitation rod 302. The agitation shaft 301 is rotatably disposed inside the silo 1. Multiple agitation rods 302 are provided and disposed outside the agitation shaft 301. The agitation shaft 301 can drive the agitation rods 302 to rotate, thereby agitating the material inside the silo 1 and preventing the material from accumulating for a long time and causing silo blockage.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the transmission assembly is used to connect two agitator components within two adjacent chambers 1. The transmission assembly includes a first jaw clutch 401, a pressure plate 402, and a second jaw clutch 403. Two first jaw clutches 401 are provided, rotatably mounted on both sides of the chamber 1. The two first jaw clutches 401 are connected to the agitator shaft 301. A transmission box 404 is located on the top of the chamber 1. Both the agitator shaft 301 and the first jaw clutch 401 are rotatably mounted on the transmission box 404. Both the agitator shaft 301 and the first jaw clutch 401 are coaxially mounted with a drive gear 405. Simultaneously, multiple synchronous gears 405 are rotatably mounted inside the transmission box 404. 6. The drive gear 405 is connected by multiple synchronous gears 406. The pressure plate 402 is set on the chamber 1 through the pressure spring 407 and the telescopic rod. There are two dog clutches 403. The dog clutches 403 are rotatably set on the pressure plate 402. The two dog clutches 403 rotate synchronously. The dog clutches 403 are adapted to the dog clutches 401. Under the action of the pressure spring 407, the pressure plate 402 drives the dog clutches 403 to press against the dog clutches 401, so that the two are engaged. After the two chambers 1 are connected, the two adjacent dog clutches 301 rotate synchronously, which means that the two adjacent agitator shafts 301 rotate synchronously.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the opening and closing assembly drives the agitator assembly to rotate via a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive rack 501 and a driven gear 502. The drive rack 501 is connected to the opening and closing plate 201 via a connecting frame 503. Buffer plates 504 are provided on both sides of the drive rack 501. The driven gear 502 is coaxially mounted on the second jaw clutch 403. One driven gear 502 on the same pressing plate 402 meshes with the drive rack 501. A transmission gear 505 is provided between the two driven gears 502. The transmission gear 505 meshes with the two driven gears 502, causing the two driven gears 502 to rotate synchronously under the action of the transmission gear 505, which in turn causes the two jaw clutches 403 to rotate synchronously. When the opening and closing plate 201 initially moves... The buffer plate 504 and the driven gear 502 are positioned correspondingly. The buffer plate 504 is far away from the driven gear 502, and the driven gear 502 does not rotate. After the opening and closing plate 201 moves a certain distance, the drive rack 501 and the driven gear 502 mesh, driving the driven gear 502 and the second jaw clutch 403 to rotate, thereby driving the first jaw clutch 401, the drive gear 405 and the agitator shaft 301 to rotate. The opening and closing plates 201 on the remaining compartments 1 are in the closed state. The buffer plate 504 and the driven gear 502 are positioned correspondingly. When one opening and closing plate 201 moves, multiple agitator shafts 301, multiple second jaw clutches 403 and multiple driven gears 502 rotate synchronously to prevent the driven gear 502 from driving the opening and closing plate 201 to move.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the material dropping efficiency and reduce clogging, a spiral blade 3 is coaxially arranged at the bottom of the stirring shaft 301. When the opening and closing plate 201 moves, the stirring shaft 301 drives the spiral blade 3 to rotate, which stirs the bottom of the bin 1, further preventing the bottom outlet of the bin 1 from being blocked and facilitating the dropping of materials.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the movement and assembly of the compartment 1, the bottom of the support leg 2 is equipped with a caster 4 with a self-locking structure. The caster 4 enables the movement of the compartment 1, making it easier to assemble and move multiple compartments 1. The self-locking structure of the caster 4 locks the caster 4, ensuring the stability of multiple compartments 1.

[0053] The working principle or usage process of this variable-capacity, mobile, modular horizontal silo is as follows:

[0054] According to the usage requirements, select an appropriate number of compartments 1, and place multiple compartments 1 together in sequence. Push the connecting block 103 from the inside of the slide 102 into the inside of the connecting seat 101 on the adjacent compartment 1. The limiting holes of the connecting block 103 and the connecting seat 101 correspond. Insert the limiting pin 104 into the limiting hole to connect the connector and the connecting seat 101, thereby assembling multiple compartments 1.

[0055] Gangue and auxiliary materials are fed into the corresponding bins 1. When gangue and auxiliary materials need to be transported, the electric cylinder 202 drives the opening and closing plate 201 to move, opening the bottom of the corresponding bin 1. The gangue in the bin 1 falls onto the conveyor belt at the bottom of the bin 1 and is transported by the conveyor belt. When auxiliary materials need to be added, the opening and closing plate 201 at the bottom of the bin 1 containing the auxiliary materials opens, allowing the auxiliary materials to fall onto the conveyor belt and mix into the gangue for transport together.

[0056] During the opening and closing process of the opening and closing plate 201, the connecting frame 503 drives the drive rack 501 and the buffer plate 504 to move. When the buffer plate 504 and the driven gear 502 are in the same position, the driven gear 502 is in a fixed state. When the drive rack 501 moves to mesh with the driven gear 502, the opening and closing plate 201 continues to move, which can drive the driven gear 502 and the second jaw clutch 403 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission gear 505, the two jaw clutches 401 on the same pressing plate 402 rotate synchronously. Under the meshing transmission action of the drive gear 405 and the synchronous gear 406, the jaw clutches 403 on the other side of the silo body 1 and the stirring shaft 301 are driven to rotate, realizing the synchronous rotation of multiple stirring shafts 301. The stirring shaft 301 drives the stirring rod 302 and the spiral blade 3 to stir the material in the silo body 1, which facilitates the discharge of the material and reduces the silo blockage.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
