[0023] Two implementation modes of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] The first implementation method:
[0025] Figures 1-6 The invention shows a high-efficiency bucket elevator for corn processing production line, including a shell 1, four power discs 2 are installed inside the shell 1, a chain 3 is rotatably connected between the four power discs 2, and a plurality of evenly distributed multifunctional buckets are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chain 3. The multifunctional bucket includes a connecting block 5, one end of the connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to a shaft sleeve 501, the inner part of the shaft sleeve 501 is rotatably connected to a material transport pipe 502, the outer wall of the material transport pipe 502 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed sieve holes 503, one end of the material transport pipe 502 is fixedly connected to a support rod 504, one end of the support rod 504 is fixedly connected to a gear 505, and the inner wall of the material transport pipe 502 is fixed to the support rod 504. A spiral bar 506 is fixedly connected, the bottom end of the shell 1 is set as the loading area, the left side of the shell 1 is set as the functional area, and the top of the shell 1 is set as the unloading area. The inner wall of the shell 1 near the functional area is fixedly connected with a tooth assembly 8, and the inner wall of the shell 1 near the unloading area is fixedly connected with a tooth plate 9. The tooth assembly 8 is located on the side of the gear 505 away from the chain 3, and the tooth plate 9 is located on the side of the gear 505 close to the chain 3. The tooth assembly 8 and the tooth plate 9 are both engaged with the gear 505. A square window 7 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1 near the loading area, and a filling device is provided inside the square window 7. The filling device is used to fill corn into the interior of the material transport pipe 502.
[0026] When the elevator is working, the power disk 2 drives the chain 3 to transmit counterclockwise, and at the same time, multiple multifunctional buckets move with the movement of the chain 3. When the multifunctional bucket moves to the position of the unloading area, the filling device sprays corn into the interior of the transport pipe 502. When the multifunctional bucket moves to the position of the functional area, the gear 505 engages with the tooth assembly 8 to drive the transport pipe 502 to rotate counterclockwise. When the transport pipe 502 rotates counterclockwise, the corn inside it does not leak out and rotates inside the transport pipe 502. At this time, the corn with unqualified particle size is discharged outward through the sieve hole 503. When the multifunctional bucket passes through the functional area, it can screen the corn inside the transport pipe 502. When the multifunctional bucket moves to the position of the unloading area, the gear 505 engages with the tooth plate 9 to drive the transport pipe 502 to rotate clockwise. When the connecting block 5 rotates clockwise, the corn inside it is discharged outward, completing the lifting of the corn.
[0027] Through the provision of multifunctional buckets and other devices, the present invention integrates the corn screening function in the bucket elevator, and can screen unqualified corn during the corn lifting process, avoiding repeated transportation and space occupation caused by the separation of lifting and screening, improving the coordinated efficiency of transportation and screening, and also improving the overall processing efficiency of the corn processing production line.
[0028] The portion of the chain 3 located in the functional area is set to an inclined shape, and the inner wall of the shell 1 close to the functional area is fixedly connected to a side aggregate plate 4, and the bottom end of the side aggregate plate 4 is fixedly connected to a funnel 401, and the length of the side aggregate plate 4 is greater than the length of the tooth assembly 8.
[0029] Through the above-mentioned setting, by setting the chain 3 of the functional area to an inclined shape, the multiple material transport pipes 502 located in the functional area can be staggered when rotating to screen the corn, so as to avoid the unqualified corn screened by the multiple material transport pipes 502 from falling vertically and splashing everywhere. Since the material transport pipe 502 will only rotate and screen when it moves to engage with the tooth assembly 8, by making the length of the side aggregate plate 4 greater than the length of the tooth assembly 8, that is, making the side aggregate plate 4 cover the screening path of the material transport pipe 502, the unqualified corn screened can be collected, and the unqualified corn collected by the side aggregate plate 4 is discharged through the funnel 401.
[0030] An upper collecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1 near the unloading area. The length of the upper collecting plate 6 is greater than that of the tooth plate 9. The upper collecting plate 6 is set to be inclined, and one end of the upper collecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the discharge nozzle 601.
[0031] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, when the material transporting pipe 502 is engaged with the tooth plate 9 and rotates clockwise, the corn inside it is discharged through one end of the material transporting pipe 502, and the discharged corn falls onto the upper collecting plate 6 and is discharged through the discharge nozzle 601. The upper collecting plate 6 can collect the corn discharged from the multi-functional bucket. Since the corn is discharged only when the material transporting pipe 502 is engaged with the tooth plate 9, by making the length of the upper collecting plate 6 greater than the length of the tooth plate 9, the upper collecting plate 6 can cover the discharge path of the material transporting pipe 502.
[0032] The filling device includes a transfer box 10, one end of which is provided with a hole 1001, and the other end of the transfer box 10 is fixedly connected to a grain suction pump 1002, and the two ends of the grain suction pump 1002 are respectively fixedly connected to a guide tube 1003 and a suction pipe 1004, and one end of the suction pipe 1004 is located on the inner side of the transfer box 10.
[0033] The corn to be lifted is stored inside the transfer box 10. The grain suction pump 1002 is started to extract the corn inside the transfer box 10 through the suction pipe 1004 and discharge it through the guide pipe 1003. When the transport pipe 502 moves, it will pass through one side of the guide pipe 1003. At this time, the corn discharged from the guide pipe 1003 can enter the interior of the transport pipe 502 for lifting. When there is no transport pipe 502 on one side of the guide pipe 1003, the corn discharged from the guide pipe 1003 falls back into the interior of the transfer box 10. Through the above arrangement, corn can be poured in from the open end of the transport pipe 502.
[0034] The shell 1 is set to be inclined so that the end of the conveying pipe 502 close to the gear 505 is higher than the end of the conveying pipe 502 close to the spiral bar 506. Through the above setting, the corn inside the conveying pipe 502 can be discharged more quickly when it rotates counterclockwise.
[0035] The second implementation method:
[0036] Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 A high-efficiency bucket elevator for a corn processing production line is shown. Different from the first embodiment, the tooth assembly 8 includes two motors 801, and the output ends of the two motors 801 are fixedly connected to a runner 802. A toothed belt 803 is rotatably connected between the two runners 802, and the toothed belt 803 is engaged with the gear 505.
[0037] The motor 801 can drive the toothed belt 803 to transmit clockwise. When the toothed belt 803 rotates clockwise, the rotation speed of the material transport pipe 502 can be increased. In this case, the multifunctional bucket can be given new functions. For example, corn needs to be cleaned before processing. After cleaning, the corn needs to be transported to the dryer for drying through an elevator. At this time, the rotation of the toothed belt 803 can greatly increase the rotation speed of the material transport pipe 502, so that the corn can be dried under the action of centrifugal force.
[0038] The present invention arranges the bar tooth assembly 8 so that the material transport pipe can dry the cleaned corn under the action of centrifugation, and directly removes surface moisture by utilizing the rotating centrifuge during the transportation process, without the need for separate dehydration equipment, thus saving space and energy consumption. This function enables the bucket elevator to not only have the lifting and screening functions, but also take into account centrifugal drying, thereby improving the adaptability and comprehensive utilization efficiency of the equipment, and meeting the demand for rapid dehydration from cleaning to transportation before drying in the corn processing production line.
[0039] The outer wall of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to a controller 11, which is electrically connected to the motor 801. The controller 11 can adjust the speed of the motor 801, and then adjust the speed of the material transport pipe 502, so that the material transport pipe 502 can be used for corn lifting in different scenarios.
[0040] In view of current actual needs, the protection scope of the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to this. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
