Description

An automatic feeding device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of belt conveyor equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are the preferred transport medium for metallurgical ore, offering advantages such as long conveying distances and simple structure. However, during the transport of ore via conveyor belts, the ore easily falls off the belt, accumulating below the conveyor. Currently, cleaning this accumulation mainly involves manually shoveling the material back onto the conveyor belt using shovels. Because the conveyor belt is high above the ground, this method of manually shoveling material back onto the belt is extremely physically demanding, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic feeding device to solve the problems of high labor intensity and low cleaning efficiency when cleaning the accumulated material under the conveyor in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides an automatic feeding device, comprising a first support frame; a first roller assembly rotatably mounted on the first support frame; a feeding conveyor belt mounted on the first roller assembly, the first roller assembly capable of driving the feeding conveyor belt to rotate, wherein the bottom of the feeding conveyor belt has a first horizontal extension section extending in a horizontal direction, the top of the feeding conveyor belt has a second horizontal extension section extending in a horizontal direction, the middle of the feeding conveyor belt has an inclined upward extending ramp conveying section, and a first driving device, the first driving device being drively connected to the first roller assembly and used to drive the first roller assembly to rotate.

[0005] Preferably, the first support frame is provided with a feeding hopper, which is located above the first horizontal extension of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0006] Preferably, the first support frame is provided with a first protective cover, which is located above the second horizontal extension of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding conveyor belt is provided with multiple material carrying plates at even intervals, and two adjacent material carrying plates form a material transport section.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the first support frame is provided with multiple wheels for rotation.

[0009] Preferably, the traveling wheel is provided with a locking member, which can restrict the rolling of the traveling wheel.

[0010] Preferably, it further includes a material unloading module, which includes a second support frame, a second roller assembly rotatably mounted on the second support frame, a material unloading conveyor belt mounted on the second roller assembly, the second roller assembly being able to drive the material unloading conveyor belt to rotate, a second drive device mounted on the second support frame, the second drive device being used to drive the second roller assembly to rotate; the second support frame is detachably connected to the first support frame, and the material unloading conveyor belt is located below the second horizontal extension section of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the second support frame is detachably connected to the first support frame by bolts.

[0012] Preferably, protective plates are provided on both the left and right sides of the material discharge conveyor belt.

[0013] Preferably, the second roller assembly includes an active roller and a driven roller rotatably mounted on the second support frame; the second driving device is a drive motor, and the drive motor is connected to the active roller via a chain drive.

[0014] As described above, the automatic feeding device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In use, the automatic feeding device is placed in the work area where accumulated material needs to be cleaned, with the top of the feeding conveyor belt, i.e., the end of the second horizontal extension section, positioned above the conveyor belt of the on-site conveyor.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6. It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the figures only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0057] The present invention provides an automatic feeding device, as shown in FIG1. ​​The automatic feeding device includes a feeding module 10, which includes a first support frame 11. A first roller assembly is rotatably mounted on the first support frame 11, and a feeding conveyor belt 12 is mounted on the first roller assembly. The first roller assembly can drive the feeding conveyor belt 12 to rotate. Specifically, the bottom of the feeding conveyor belt 12 has a first horizontal extension section 121 extending horizontally, the top of the feeding conveyor belt 12 has a second horizontal extension section 123 extending horizontally, and the middle part of the feeding conveyor belt 12 has an inclined upward extending ramp conveyor section 122. The first roller assembly is connected to a first driving device 101, which is used to drive the first roller assembly to rotate.

[0058] The beneficial effects of the automatic feeding device of the present invention are as follows: The automatic feeding device is placed in the work area where accumulated material needs to be cleaned, with the top of the feeding conveyor belt 12, i.e., the end of the second horizontal extension section 123, positioned above the conveyor belt of the on-site conveyor. Then, the first drive device 101 is activated to drive the feeding conveyor belt 12 to rotate. Then, workers manually shovel the accumulated material below the conveyor onto the first horizontal extension section 121 at the bottom of the feeding conveyor belt 12 using a shovel. The rotation of the feeding conveyor belt 12 then transports the shoveled material upwards onto the conveyor belt of the on-site conveyor. Compared to the prior art where accumulated material is manually shoveled onto the conveyor belt using a shovel, the automatic feeding device of the present invention can significantly reduce the labor intensity of operators, reduce labor costs, and also greatly improve the efficiency of accumulated material cleaning.

[0059] Furthermore, to prevent accumulated material from scattering around the feeding conveyor belt 12 during material loading, as shown in Figure 1, preferably, in this embodiment, a feeding hopper 13 is provided on the first support frame 11. This feeding hopper 13 is located above the first horizontal extension section 121 of the feeding conveyor belt 12. The feeding hopper 13 serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents accumulated material from scattering around the feeding conveyor belt 12 during material loading; secondly, it buffers a certain amount of accumulated material, thus enabling uninterrupted feeding and improving feeding efficiency.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to prevent the accumulated material from splashing and causing secondary material drop during the upward conveying process, preferably, as shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, a first protective cover 14 is also provided on the first support frame 11, which is located above the second horizontal extension section 123 of the feeding conveyor belt 12.

[0061] Furthermore, to improve the conveying capacity of the feeding conveyor belt 12, preferably, in this embodiment, the feeding conveyor belt 12 is also provided with multiple material carrying plates (not shown in the figure). These multiple material carrying plates are evenly spaced, and a conveying zone is formed between two adjacent material carrying plates. Through this structural design, when conveying accumulated material, the material carrying plates on the feeding conveyor belt 12 can hold the accumulated material and convey it upwards, preventing the accumulated material from sliding downwards due to gravity, thereby improving the conveying capacity of the feeding conveyor belt 12.

[0062] Furthermore, to facilitate the movement and transfer of the feeding module 10, preferably, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, a plurality of traveling wheels 110 are rotatably provided at the bottom of the first support frame 11. Even further, to prevent the feeding module 10 from sliding as a whole during operation, preferably, a locking member 1101 is provided on each traveling wheel 110, which can restrict the rolling of the traveling wheel 110. During operation, the traveling wheel 110 can be locked by the locking member 1101 to prevent it from rolling, thereby improving the stability of the feeding module 10 during operation.

[0063] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment also includes a material discharge module 20, which includes a second support frame 21. A second roller assembly is rotatably mounted on the second support frame 21, and a material discharge conveyor belt 23 is mounted on the second roller assembly. The second roller assembly can drive the material discharge conveyor belt 23 to rotate. A second drive device 24 is also mounted on the second support frame 21, which is used to drive the second roller assembly to rotate. Specifically, the second support frame 21 is detachably connected to the first support frame 11, and the material discharge conveyor belt 23 is located below the second horizontal extension section 123 of the feeding conveyor belt 12. This structural design takes into account the influence of terrain and equipment placement factors, which sometimes prevent the feeding module 10 from achieving a good conveying effect. However, with the setting of the dropping module 20, the accumulated material is first conveyed to the dropping module 20 through the feeding module 10, and then conveyed to the conveyor belt of the on-site conveyor through the dropping module 20. Furthermore, the dropping module 20 can adjust the direction and position of the dropping material, making it highly adaptable.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second support frame 21 of the unloading module 20 is detachably connected to the first support frame 11 of the loading module 10 by bolts. With this structural design, when the unloading module 20 is not needed, the second support frame 21 can be detached from the first support frame 11, and the unloading module 20 can be moved away. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble. Specifically, to facilitate the movement of the unloading module 20, in this embodiment, rollers are also provided at the bottom of the second support frame 21 of the unloading module 20. Similarly, to improve the stability of the unloading module 20 during operation, locking components are also provided on the rollers at the bottom of the second support frame 21.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, protective plates 231 are provided on both the left and right sides of the material discharge conveyor belt 23. Specifically, the protective plates 231 are bolted to the second support frame 21. The protective plates 231 prevent the material discharge module from falling off the sides of the material discharge conveyor belt 23 when conveying accumulated material, further preventing secondary material drop.

[0066] Further, as shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the second roller assembly includes a driving roller 221 and a driven roller 222. The driving roller 221 is rotatably mounted on one end of the second support frame 21, and the driven roller 222 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the second support frame 21. The driving roller 221 and the driven roller 222 are connected by a conveyor belt 23. Specifically, the second drive device 24 is a drive motor, which is connected to the driving roller 221 via a chain drive. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, a driving sprocket 240 is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor, and a driven sprocket 2210 is provided on the driving roller 221. The driving sprocket 240 and the driven sprocket 2210 are connected by a drive chain 241.

[0067] Specifically, as shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6, in this embodiment, the top of the second support frame 21 includes a first mounting side plate 211 and a second mounting side plate 212. Both the first mounting side plate 211 and the second mounting side plate 212 have two connecting grooves 2110, which are spaced vertically and extend along the conveying direction of the unloading conveyor belt 23. The top wall of each connecting groove 2110 has an upwardly concave upper U-shaped groove, and the bottom wall has a downwardly concave lower U-shaped groove. A connecting nut (not shown in the figures) is embedded in the connecting groove 2110. The top end is embedded in the upper U-shaped groove, and the bottom end of the connecting nut is embedded in the lower U-shaped groove. The two ends of the active roller 221 are rotatably connected to the first mounting side plate 211 and the second mounting side plate 212 respectively via diamond-shaped bearings. Specifically, the diamond-shaped bearing includes a diamond-shaped bearing seat 30 and a bearing fixedly disposed in the diamond-shaped bearing seat 30. The diamond-shaped bearing seat 30 has a connecting hole, and a fastening screw 40 passes through the connecting hole and the connecting nut embedded in the connecting groove 2110, thereby fixing the diamond-shaped bearing seat 30 to the first mounting side plate / second mounting side plate. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0068] Furthermore, to facilitate adjustment of the tension of the material feeding conveyor belt 23, preferably, as shown in Figure 5, a connecting seat 50 is fixedly installed on the first mounting side plate 211. An adjusting screw 501 is threaded onto the connecting seat 50, and one end of the adjusting screw 501 abuts against the diamond-shaped bearing seat 30 mounted on the first mounting side plate 211. With this structural design, when it is necessary to adjust the tension of the material feeding conveyor belt 23, the fastening screw 40 is loosened, and then the adjusting screw 501 is tightened to move the adjusting screw 501 against the diamond-shaped bearing seat 30 away from the driven roller, thereby adjusting the tension of the material feeding conveyor belt.

[0069] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, a second protective cover 242 is provided on the second drive device 24, i.e., the drive motor, to prevent accumulated material from falling onto the drive motor. Specifically, in this embodiment, a third protective cover 243 is also provided on the drive sprocket 240, the driven sprocket 2210, and the drive chain 241. The third protective cover 243 can prevent accumulated material from falling onto the chain and sprocket, thereby improving the stability of the drive.

[0070] In summary, the automatic feeding device of the present invention can significantly reduce the labor intensity of operators, lower labor costs, and greatly improve the efficiency of material accumulation removal, while shortening the cleaning operation period. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0071] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
