Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator technology, and in particular to a bucket elevator for processing Cistanche deserticola. Background Technology
[0002] Cistanche deserticola is a perennial parasitic herb belonging to the genus Cistanche of the family Orobanchaceae. It primarily parasitizes the roots of desert plants such as Haloxylon ammodendron and Tamarix chinensis, and is mainly produced in the arid Gobi regions of Northwest my country. It is known as "desert ginseng" and is a precious traditional Chinese medicine that is both food and medicine. Its medicinal history is long, and it is recorded in various ancient herbal texts. It is sweet and salty in taste, warm in nature, and enters the kidney and large intestine meridians.
[0003] Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN110817317A discloses a bucket elevator, comprising a frame with first and second guide rails on both sides. A movable support is mounted on the frame, with first traveling wheels on both sides of the upper part of the movable support, positioned on the first guide rails. Second traveling wheels are on both sides of the lower part of the movable support, positioned on the second guide rails. The movable support includes a pulley assembly. An aggregate hopper is mounted on the movable support, with an inlet and a first sealing door. The aggregate hopper also has an outlet with a second sealing door. A motor with a winding drum is mounted on the top of the frame, and the drum contains a wire rope. One end of the wire rope is mounted on the drum, passes over the pulley assembly, and the other end is fixed to the top of the frame. The frame includes a conveying pipe with two arc-shaped guide rails that connect with the second guide rail. This invention prevents material spillage.
[0004] There are still some problems with the hoist during use. Existing material conveying and lifting equipment mostly uses a structure of wire rope traction and threaded rod drive to lift and lower the bucket. During operation, problems such as wire rope wear, loosening, and jamming are prone to occur, as well as low efficiency and high maintenance costs of threaded rod drive. In addition, after unloading at high altitude, the bucket lacks a stable fall and buffer structure, which makes it prone to impact and collision, affecting the service life of the equipment and operational safety. Summary of the Invention

The transmission belt drives the lifting components to complete the material conveying and height lifting, resulting in smoother transmission and a lower failure rate. The docking components realize the automatic unlocking and descent of the bucket after high-altitude positioning. With the help of the buffer components, the falling bucket is flexibly supported, reducing impact loss and improving the operational stability, safety and work efficiency of the conveying system.

[0014] Preferably, a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to a pair of fixed rods, and a second spring is sleeved on the pair of fixed rods. The two ends of the second spring are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hoist body and one side of the sliding sleeve.

[0016] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention has a reasonable structure. A rod is provided on the hopper, and a sleeve is fixedly connected to the middle of the rod. The gripper on the sleeve is clamped on the crossbar. The two ends of the crossbar are fixedly connected to the first bearing seat. The two ends of the cross plate on the first bearing seat are fixedly installed on the transmission belt. The operation of the drive motor causes the rotating rod to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod causes the pulley to drive the transmission belt to rotate, thereby facilitating the first pulley and the second pulley on the hopper to roll upward on the guide rail to complete the material conveying work.
[0017] 2. In this invention, the gripper plate is secured to the crossbar by the elastic force of the first spring, and the rotation of the transmission belt drives the entire hopper to move. The limiting wheel on the moving side plate of the hopper slides inside the slide rail. After the hopper finishes unloading, the limiting wheel slides to the top position of the slide rail. The limiting wheel drives the rod to rotate through the side plate. The rotation of the rod causes the pressure plate on the bushing to press down on the sleeve block, thereby facilitating the gripper plate on the sleeve to disengage from the crossbar. Then the hopper slides to the bottom position of the guide rail through the first pulley and the second pulley.
[0018] 3. In this invention, when the hopper slides to the bottom of the guide rail via the first pulley and the second pulley, it will squeeze the sliding roller on the buffer plate. Then, one end of the buffer plate will push the sliding sleeve on the hinge seat to slide on the fixed rod through the driven plate on the first connecting rod, and then squeeze the second spring on the fixed rod to buffer the impact force of the hopper descending, thus avoiding damage to the hopper.

[0024] Specifically, it should be noted that the drive motor 202 is electrically connected to the existing control unit via wires, and the specific working principle between them is based on existing technology, which will not be elaborated on here.
[0025] As one embodiment of this invention, the lifting assembly includes a rotating rod 2 rotatably connected between the two ends of the guide rail 101. Pulleys 201 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 2. One end of the rotating rod 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of a drive motor 202. The drive motor 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide rail 101. A transmission belt 203 is sleeved on the pulleys 201. A horizontal plate 204 is fixedly installed on the transmission belt 203. A pair of first bearing seats 205 are fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the horizontal plate 204. A crossbar 206 is fixedly connected between the pair of first bearing seats 205. A gripping plate 207 is clamped on the crossbar 206. The gripping plate 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of a sleeve 208. The sleeve 208 is fixedly installed at the middle end of a rod body 209. The rod body 209 is rotatably connected to a second bearing seat 210, which is fixedly connected to the hopper 103.
[0026] Specifically, a rod 209 is provided on the hopper 103, and a sleeve 208 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rod 209. The gripper 207 on the sleeve 208 is engaged with the crossbar 206. The two ends of the crossbar 206 are fixedly connected to the first bearing 205. The two ends of the cross plate 204 on the first bearing 205 are fixedly installed on the transmission belt 203. The operation of the drive motor 202 causes the rotating rod 2 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 2 causes the pulley 201 to drive the transmission belt 203 to rotate, thereby facilitating the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107 on the hopper 103 to roll upward on the guide rail 101 to complete the material conveying work.
[0027] As one embodiment of this invention, the docking assembly includes a side plate 3 fixedly installed at one end of the rod 209, a limit wheel 301 fixedly connected to the other end of the side plate 3, the limit wheel 301 slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 302, a connector 303 fixedly connected to the slide rail 302, the other end of the connector 303 fixedly connected to one side of the guide rail 101, a bushing 304 fixedly connected to the other end of the rod 209, a pressure plate 305 fixedly connected to the surface of the bushing 304, a through groove 306 provided on the pressure plate 305, a sleeve block 307 provided inside the through groove 306, the sleeve block 307 slidably connected to the slide rod 308, the bottom end of the slide rod 308 fixedly connected to the third bearing seat 309, the third bearing seat 309 fixedly connected to one side of the hopper 103, a first spring 310 sleeved on the slide rod 308, the two ends of the first spring 310 fixedly connected to one side of the sleeve block 307 and one side of the third bearing seat 309 respectively.
[0028] Specifically, the spring force of the first spring 310 causes the gripper 207 to be engaged on the crossbar 206, and the rotation of the transmission belt 203 causes the hopper 103 to move as a whole. The limiting wheel 301 on the moving side plate 3 of the hopper 103 will slide inside the slide rail 302. After the hopper 103 finishes unloading, the limiting wheel 301 will slide to the top position of the slide rail 302. The limiting wheel 301 will drive the rod 209 to rotate through the side plate 3. The rotation of the rod 209 will cause the pressure plate 305 on the bushing 304 to press down on the sleeve block 307, so that the gripper 207 on the sleeve 208 can disengage from the crossbar 206. Then the hopper 103 will slide to the bottom position of the guide rail 101 through the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107.
[0029] In one embodiment of this invention, the buffer assembly includes a pair of fixed rods 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hoist body 1. The other ends of the fixed rods 4 are fixedly connected to a docking seat 401. The bottom end of the docking seat 401 is fixedly connected to the hoist body 1. A sliding sleeve 402 is slidably connected to the pair of fixed rods 4. A second spring 403 is sleeved on the pair of fixed rods 4. Both ends of the second spring 403 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hoist body 1 and one side of the sliding sleeve 402, respectively. A hinge seat 40 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve 402. 4. A driven plate 405 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 404. The other end of the driven plate 405 is rotatably connected to the first docking rod 406. The first docking rod 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the buffer plate 407. A sliding roller 408 is rotatably connected to the buffer plate 407. The sliding roller 408 is in contact with the bottom surface of the hopper 103. A second docking rod 409 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom surface of the buffer plate 407. Support seats 410 are rotatably connected to both ends of the second docking rod 409. The bottom end of the support seat 410 is fixedly connected to the elevator body 1.
[0030] Specifically, when the hopper 103 slides to the bottom position of the guide rail 101 via the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107, it will squeeze the sliding roller 408 on the buffer plate 407. Then, one end of the buffer plate 407 pushes the sliding sleeve 402 on the hinge seat 404 to slide on the fixed rod 4 via the driven plate 405 on the first connecting rod 406. Then, it squeezes the second spring 403 on the fixed rod 4 to buffer the impact force of the hopper 103 descending, thus avoiding damage to the hopper 103.
[0031] The working principle of this invention is as follows: A rod 209 is provided on the hopper 103, and a sleeve 208 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rod 209. The gripping plate 207 on the sleeve 208 is engaged on the crossbar 206. The two ends of the crossbar 206 are fixedly connected to the first bearing 205. The two ends of the cross plate 204 on the first bearing 205 are fixedly installed on the transmission belt 203. The operation of the drive motor 202 causes the rotating rod 2 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 2 causes the pulley 201 to drive the transmission belt 203 to rotate, thereby facilitating the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107 on the hopper 103 to roll upward on the guide rail 101, thus completing the material conveying work.
[0032] The first spring 310 causes the gripper 207 to be engaged on the crossbar 206, and the rotation of the transmission belt 203 causes the hopper 103 to move as a whole. The limiting wheel 301 on the moving side plate 3 of the hopper 103 will slide inside the slide rail 302. After the hopper 103 finishes unloading, the limiting wheel 301 will slide to the top position of the slide rail 302. The limiting wheel 301 will drive the rod 209 to rotate through the side plate 3. The rotation of the rod 209 will cause the pressure plate 305 on the bushing 304 to press down on the sleeve block 307, so that the gripper 207 on the sleeve 208 can disengage from the crossbar 206. Then the hopper 103 will slide to the bottom position of the guide rail 101 through the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107.
[0033] When the hopper 103 slides to the bottom position of the guide rail 101 via the first pulley 105 and the second pulley 107, it will squeeze the sliding roller 408 on the buffer plate 407. Then, one end of the buffer plate 407 pushes the sliding sleeve 402 on the hinge seat 404 to slide on the fixed rod 4 through the driven plate 405 on the first connecting rod 406. Then, it squeezes the second spring 403 on the fixed rod 4, buffering the impact force of the hopper 103 descending and avoiding damage to the hopper 103.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
