Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material transportation, and particularly relates to a novel material transportation structure. Background Art

[0002] In the market for automatic feeding technology, the key technical points lie in the screening of correct material postures and the elimination of incorrect postures. Materials with correct postures will enter the track, and the materials will be separated through separation technology and then transported to the required places. If materials with incorrect postures cannot be eliminated in time, it will cause material jams and thus result in shutdowns.

[0003] Commonly used technologies in the market for eliminating materials with incorrect postures include blowing screening. Materials with correct postures will not be blown off in the track, while materials with incorrect postures will be blown off and returned to the bin through the return material system. However, since the blowing screening equipment has a blowing mechanism, a continuous source of gas is required to maintain the normal operation of the equipment, resulting in higher equipment manufacturing and operation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a novel material transportation structure.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in the embodiments of the present invention is a novel material transportation structure, including a feeding mechanism, on which a hopper is installed, and the hopper is used to supply materials to the feeding mechanism;

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a housing, on one side of which there is a feeding notch for docking with the hopper; inside the housing cavity, there is a partition plate, which is arranged parallel to the side wall of the housing where the feeding notch is located. On the side of the partition plate close to the feeding notch, there is a lifting plate, which is arranged parallel to the partition plate, and both sides of the lifting plate respectively contact the partition plate and the side wall of the housing where the feeding notch is located. On the side of the partition plate far from the feeding notch, there is a gravity track installed, and on the side of the gravity track far from the partition plate, there is a baffle installed parallel to the partition plate, and both sides of the gravity track respectively contact the partition plate and the baffle;

[0007] There is also a discharge notch on the housing, which cooperates with the gravity track, and the output end of the gravity track extends out from the discharge notch;

[0008] The feeding mechanism further includes a driving mechanism, which drives the lifting plate to move up and down, so that the top end of the lifting plate can pass through the feeding notch and rise above the top end of the partition plate or be flush with the top end of the partition plate.

[0009] Further, the driving mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder fixed to the outer shell, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first lifting cylinder. One end of the connecting rod away from the first lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate, so that the first lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise or fall.

[0010] Further, the driving mechanism further includes a mounting plate arranged parallel to the partition plate. The top end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with a gravity track. The mounting plate is provided with a first waist-shaped slot and a second waist-shaped slot. The second waist-shaped slot is located above the first waist-shaped slot, and the length directions of the first waist-shaped slot and the second waist-shaped slot are consistent with the length direction of the mounting plate. The connecting rod passes through the first waist-shaped slot, and a limiting rod is arranged in the second waist-shaped slot. The limiting rod is fixed to the outer shell. The length of the first waist-shaped slot is less than the distance from the feeding notch to the top end of the partition plate, so that the mounting plate is lifted synchronously after the connecting rod moves to the top end of the first waist-shaped slot during the process of the connecting rod lifting the lifting plate.

[0011] Further, the feeding mechanism further includes a profiling baffle installed outside the outer shell and cooperating with the output end of the gravity track. After the mounting plate is lifted, it drives the gravity track to rise, so that the output end of the gravity track is docked with the profiling baffle.

[0012] Further, the top ends of both the partition plate and the lifting plate are inclined such that the side close to the gravity track is lower than the side away from the gravity track.

[0013] Further, a receiving hopper is installed below the discharging notch, and the receiving hopper is used to receive the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track.

[0014] Further, the receiving hopper is communicated with the hopper. The bottom of the receiving hopper is inclined, and the connection between the bottom of the receiving hopper and the hopper is the lowest point of the bottom of the receiving hopper, so as to guide the materials in the receiving hopper into the hopper.

[0015] Further, the bottom of the hopper is inclined, and the connection between the bottom of the hopper and the feeding notch is the lowest point of the bottom of the hopper.

[0016] Further, it further includes a material disorder removing mechanism. The material disorder removing mechanism includes a hook and a second lifting cylinder. The hook is arranged parallel to the outer wall of the output end of the gravity track. The second lifting cylinder is fixed to the outer shell, and the second lifting cylinder drives the hook to move up and down along the outer wall of the output end of the gravity track to hook out the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track at the output end of the gravity track.

[0017] Further, the gravity track is inclined such that the output end of the gravity track is the lowest end of the gravity track.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, a novel material conveying structure proposed by the present technical solution screens and outputs materials in the correct posture through a gravity track. Materials that fail to enter the gravity track correctly will be discharged from the discharge gap along the gravity track. The lifting plate feeds materials to the gravity track in a discontinuous manner, which can effectively avoid congestion of the gravity track and the materials above it, thus effectively avoiding material jamming.

[0029] To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted in the present invention.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a novel material conveying structure, including a feeding mechanism, on which a hopper 1 is installed, and the hopper 1 is used to supply materials to the feeding mechanism;

[0031] The feeding mechanism includes a housing 2, on one side of which there is a feeding notch for docking with the hopper 1; inside the housing 2, a partition 3 is constructed, the partition 3 is arranged parallel to the side wall of the housing 2 where the feeding notch is located, on the side of the partition 3 close to the feeding notch, a lifting plate 4 is arranged, the lifting plate 4 is arranged parallel to the partition 3, and both sides of the lifting plate 4 respectively contact the partition 3 and the side wall of the housing 2 where the feeding notch is located. On the side of the partition 3 away from the feeding notch, a gravity track 5 is installed, and on the side of the gravity track 5 away from the partition 3, a baffle 6 is installed parallel to the partition 3, and both sides of the gravity track 5 respectively contact the partition 3 and the baffle 6;

[0032] The housing 2 is also provided with a discharge notch 7 cooperating with the gravity track 5, and the output end of the gravity track 5 extends out from the discharge notch 7;

[0033] The feeding mechanism further includes a driving mechanism, which drives the lifting plate 4 to move up and down, so that the top of the lifting plate 4 can pass through the feeding notch and rise above the top of the partition 3 or be flush with the top of the partition 3. A novel material conveying structure proposed by this technical solution screens and outputs materials in the correct posture through the gravity track 5, and the materials that fail to enter the gravity track 5 correctly will be discharged from the discharge notch 7 along the gravity track 5. By feeding materials to the gravity track 5 in a non - continuous manner through the lifting plate 4, it is possible to effectively avoid congestion of the gravity track 5 and the materials above it, and thus effectively avoid material jamming.

[0034] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder 8, which is fixed on the housing 2. The output end of the first lifting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 9. One end of the connecting rod 9 away from the first lifting cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate 4, so that the first lifting cylinder 8 drives the lifting plate 4 to rise or fall. As the material rises with the lifting plate 4, it reaches above the top of the partition plate 3 or is flush with the top of the partition plate 3. Part of the material falls to the side of the partition plate 3 away from the lifting plate 4. Part of the material will correctly enter the gravity track 5 and be conveyed to subsequent equipment for use, while the material that fails to correctly enter the gravity track will be discharged from the discharge gap 7 along the gravity track.

[0035] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism further includes a mounting plate 10, which is arranged parallel to the partition plate 3. The top end of the mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected with the gravity track 5. The mounting plate 10 is provided with a first waist-shaped slot 11 and a second waist-shaped slot 12. The second waist-shaped slot 12 is located above the first waist-shaped slot 11, and the length directions of the first waist-shaped slot 11 and the second waist-shaped slot 12 are consistent with the length direction of the mounting plate 10. The connecting rod 9 passes through the first waist-shaped slot 11. A limiting rod 13 is arranged in the second waist-shaped slot 12, and the limiting rod 13 is fixed on the housing 2. The length of the first waist-shaped slot 11 is less than the distance from the feeding gap to the top of the partition plate 3, so that when the connecting rod 9 lifts the lifting plate 4, the mounting plate 10 is synchronously lifted after the connecting rod 9 moves to the top of the first waist-shaped slot 11. When the top of the lifting plate 4 is flush with the bottom surface of the feeding gap, the lifting plate 4 is at the lowest position, and at this time the mounting plate 10 is also at the lowest position. The limiting rod 13 abuts against the upper end of the second waist-shaped slot 12 to support the mounting plate 10. When the connecting rod 9 that lifts the lifting plate 4 is driven by the first lifting cylinder 8 to rise, it drives the lifting plate 4 to rise. When the connecting rod 9 moves upward to contact the top of the first waist-shaped slot 11, it starts to lift the mounting plate 10, so that the gravity track 5 rises with the mounting plate 10. When the connecting rod 9 drives the lifting plate 4 to rise above the top of the partition plate 3 or be flush with the top of the partition plate 3, at this time the lifting plate 4 is at the highest position, and at the same time the mounting plate 10 also rises to the highest position. Conversely, during the descending process, the mounting plate 10 will first fall to the limiting rod 13, causing a relatively large vibration, which can vibrate and disperse the material that fails to correctly enter the gravity track 5 and make these materials slide and be discharged from the discharge gap 7.

[0036] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a profiling baffle 17, which is installed outside the housing 2 and cooperates with the output end of the gravity track 5. After the mounting plate 10 is lifted, it drives the gravity track 5 to rise, so that the output end of the gravity track 5 is docked with the profiling baffle 17. The profiling baffle 17 blocks the material that fails to correctly enter the gravity track 5, preventing these materials from entering subsequent equipment and ensuring that the materials with correct postures pass through smoothly.

[0037] The tops of the partition plate 3 and the lifting plate 4 are both inclined such that the side closer to the gravity track 5 is lower than the side away from the gravity track 5. The inclined tops of the partition plate 3 and the lifting plate 4 enable the materials following the lifting plate 4 to rise smoothly into the side of the partition plate 3 away from the lifting plate 4.

[0038] In some embodiments, a receiving hopper 14 is installed below the discharge notch 7. The receiving hopper 14 is used to receive the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track 5. The receiving hopper 14 is used to receive the materials that are discharged from the discharge notch 7 and do not correctly enter the gravity track 5.

[0039] In some embodiments, the receiving hopper 14 is connected to the hopper 1. The bottom of the receiving hopper 14 is inclined, and the connection between the bottom of the receiving hopper 14 and the hopper 1 is the lowest point of the bottom of the receiving hopper 14, so as to guide the materials in the receiving hopper 14 into the hopper 1. The connection between the receiving hopper 14 and the hopper 1 enables the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track 5 to directly enter the hopper 1 through the receiving hopper 14, which can simplify the operation.

[0040] Specifically, the bottom of the hopper 1 is inclined, and the connection between the bottom of the hopper 1 and the feeding notch is the lowest point of the bottom of the hopper 1. The inclined bottom of the hopper 1 facilitates the entry of materials into the feeding notch.

[0041] In some embodiments, a material disorder removing mechanism is further included. The material disorder removing mechanism includes a hook 15 and a second lifting cylinder 16. The hook 15 is arranged parallel to the outer wall of the output end of the gravity track 5. The second lifting cylinder 16 is fixed on the housing 2, and the second lifting cylinder 16 drives the hook 15 to move up and down along the outer wall of the output end of the gravity track 5 to hook out the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track 5 on the output end of the gravity track 5. The materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track 5 may stay on the output end of the gravity track 5, and the hook 15 moving up and down can hook out these materials to avoid jamming and blockage.

[0042] The gravity track 5 is inclined such that the output end of the gravity track 5 is the lowest end of the gravity track 5. The inclined setting of the gravity track 5 helps to smoothly convey the materials and can also enable the materials that do not correctly enter the gravity track 5 to be smoothly discharged.

[0043] The above description is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, the above examples (or one or more of their solutions) can be used in combination with each other, and it is considered that these embodiments can be combined and arranged with each other in various combinations.
