Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of explosive conveying, in particular to a large-particle material conveying device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production of explosives and the assembly process of shells, the conveying of explosives is involved. The large-particle material conveying methods in the field of explosives mainly include elevator conveying and belt conveying. Such conveying methods have complex mechanisms, high costs, and low conveying efficiency. The use of a vacuum feeding machine can greatly improve the conveying efficiency and has a simple structure and low cost.

[0003] However, the existing vacuum conveying of large-particle materials is mainly manual suction of the material from above the material by a suction nozzle. The operator directly contacts the explosives, which endangers the health and safety of the operator. At the same time, due to the poor flowability, size, and large specific gravity of the large-particle explosives, when automatically sucking the material from above the material, the suction nozzle is pressed on the surface of the material, which easily causes bridging at the mouth of the suction nozzle and leads to blockage.

[0004] Another way is to extract and convey at the bottom of the storage tank, so that the material enters the suction nozzle under its own gravity. However, due to the size and large specific gravity of the material, the running speed of the material is reduced during the conveying and lifting stage, and the subsequent material continues to be sucked in, which causes accumulation at the pipe lifting position and eventually leads to blockage.

[0005] In addition, the amount of material entering the conveying pipe can be controlled by opening and closing the plate to avoid the blockage problem caused by continuous material entering during the lifting stage. However, the use of an opening and closing plate in the field of explosives can cause dangerous extrusion of the material. Therefore, the traditional vacuum feeding form cannot realize the automatic feeding of large-particle materials. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a large-particle material conveying device for overcoming the above problems or at least partially solving the above problems. The problem of the need for manual participation in the vacuum conveying of large-particle materials and the direct contact of the operator with the explosives, which endangers the health and safety of the operator, is solved. At the same time, the problem of the existing technology having certain safety hazards for the conveying of large-particle materials and being prone to extrusion and blockage of the material, which cannot realize automation, is solved. In addition, the problem of the traditional single-stage funnel form causing the vacuum pipe to be unable to suck in air when the material is accumulated too high, resulting in a decrease in suction force and the stopping of material conveying is solved.

The large-particle automatic feeding mechanism 1 is connected with the vacuum hopper 2 through the first conveying hose 3, and the vacuum hopper 2 is installed above the storage bin 4.

[0046] The large-particle automatic feeding mechanism 1 comprises a large-material bin 11, a rack 12, a rubber sleeve 17, a cover plate 13, a small-material bin 14, a second conveying hose 15, a pressure relief valve 16 and the like.

The pressure relief valve 16 is installed on the rack 12, and the outlet is connected with the vacuum hopper through the first conveying hose 3.

[0047] The pressure relief valve 16 comprises a cylinder 161, a valve 162 and a valve body 163. The cylinder 161 is connected with the valve 162 and is installed on the rack 12, and the valve body 163 is provided with an opening 164, and the valve 162 is sleeved on the valve body 163. The valve 162 can slide on the valve body 163 under the action of the cylinder 161, so as to control the opening and closing of the opening 164 on the valve body 163.

[0048] Figure 1 The whole large-particle vacuum automatic conveying device is shown in the figure. The incoming material can be poured into the large-material bin 11 of the large-particle automatic feeding mechanism 1 from an iron box through a robot or a turnover trolley, the vacuum hopper works to generate negative pressure, cooperates with the action of the pressure relief valve 16, the material passes through the conveying hose to the vacuum hopper and then falls into the storage bin 4, and the feeding is completed.

[0049] Figure 2 The large-particle vacuum automatic feeding mechanism 1 is shown in the figure. The large-material bin 11 adopts an upper straight and lower inclined mode and has a certain pressure relief effect. The material falls into the small-material bin 14 after passing through the large-material bin 11 and is finally accumulated to stop at the horizontal part of the second conveying hose 15. The rubber sleeve 17 is connected with the lower end of the large-material bin 11, and the height of the rubber sleeve 17 can be adjusted to control the height of the material accumulated in the small-material bin 14, and the amount of material in the small-material bin 14 is controllable.

[0050] Figure 3 The structure of the pressure relief valve 16 is shown in the figure. The cylinder 161 can drive the valve 162 to control the opening and closing of the opening 164 on the valve body 163, so as to realize the pressure relief and recovery of the vacuum suction force in the second conveying hose 15.

[0051] The working principle of the pressure relief valve 16 is that the opening 164 of the valve body 163 is opened and closed by controlling the action of the cylinder 161. When the opening 164 is opened, the vacuum suction force is discharged from the opening 164. At this time, the material in the second conveying hose 15 cannot be sucked away due to insufficient suction force, and the material that has passed through the pressure relief valve 16 is still affected by the vacuum suction force and continues to move to the vacuum hopper 2. When the opening 164 of the valve body 163 is closed, the vacuum suction force at the hopper is restored, and the material in the small bin 14 continues to be discharged under the action of gravity. The use of the pressure relief valve 16 realizes controllable vacuum feeding, avoiding the problem of blockage during the material rising stage due to too much feeding at one time.

[0052] The overall principle and process are as follows:

[0053] The artificial operation turns the cart over to lift the material bucket and pour the material into the large bin 11. At the beginning, the opening 164 of the valve body 163 is in a closed state. The personnel click the start button and leave. When the material passing through the pressure relief valve 16 reaches a certain amount, the cylinder 161 acts, the opening 164 is opened, the vacuum suction force is discharged, the material that has passed through the pressure relief valve 16 continues to complete the feeding, and the material below the small bin 14 stops moving. Until the feeding of the material that has passed through is completed, the opening 164 is closed, and the vacuum suction force of the material below the hopper is restored, and the material is sucked away again. The opening 164 is opened for a certain period of time and then closed. The feeding capacity is consistent with the suction amount. The opening and closing action is repeated until the material in the hopper is completely sucked away.
