[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides an easy-to-clean bucket elevator, including a bucket elevator body 1, a hopper 101, and a conveyor belt 102 located inside the bucket elevator body 1 and driving the hopper 101 to run repeatedly. The bucket elevator body 1 is provided with openings on both sides, and the surfaces of the openings are slidably connected with sealing plates 2. When the sealing plates 2 close the openings, the position of the sealing plates 2 is fixed by a fixing component 3. The hopper 101 inside the bucket elevator body 1 and the conveyor belt 102 are detachably connected by a quick-release assembly 4.

[0026] The fixing of the sealing plate 2 by the fixing component 3 is released, and the sealing plate 2 can be pushed to open the openings on both sides of the bucket elevator body 1 (the bucket elevator body 1 is an opening opened at an appropriate height for easy operation by the staff), and two staff members can simultaneously disassemble the hopper 101 inside the bucket elevator body 1 on both sides for cleaning (after disassembly, other hoppers 101 are placed at the openings through the conveyor belt 102 until all the hoppers 101 are disassembled), and the hopper 101 is installed on the conveyor belt 102 after the hoppers are installed. After the hoppers are installed, the sealing plate 2 is pushed to close the opening, and the position of the sealing plate 2 is fixed by the fixing component 3, and the disassembly and assembly between the hopper 101 and the conveyor belt 102 can be conveniently realized by the quick-release component 4. In addition, the sealing plate 2 is disassembled and assembled by pushing, and there is no need to move it up and down, which makes it easier to disassemble and assemble the hopper 101 from the bucket elevator, thereby making it easier to clean the hopper inside the bucket elevator.

[0027] The two sides of the bucket elevator body 1 are fixedly connected with guide rails 5 for sliding of the slider 6 at the upper and lower sides of the opening. The top of the slider 6 is fixed to the surface of the sealing plate 2 through a connecting rod 7. The fixing component 3 includes a mounting plate 301 welded to the two sides of the surface of the bucket elevator body 1, and a screw 302 fixed to the side end of the sealing plate 2. A through hole 303 for the screw 302 to pass through is opened inside the mounting plate 301. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 302. The quick-release assembly 4 includes a plurality of groove seats 401 (the groove seats 401 can be installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 102 and distributed at equal distances) The hopper 101 is installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 102 by bolts. The top of the hopper 101 is fixedly connected with a shell 402 which can be inserted into the groove seat 401. Through grooves A403 are provided on both sides of the shell 402. Inner blocks 404 are movably connected on both sides of the shell 402. Springs 405 are fixedly connected between the inner blocks 404. A fixed block 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner block 404 opposite to the spring 405. Through grooves B407 with the same cross-section as the through groove A403 are provided on both sides of the groove seat 401. The fixed block 406 can pass through the through groove A403 and the through groove B407 in sequence.

[0028] That is, in the initial state, the sealing plate 2 seals the openings on both sides of the bucket elevator body 1, and the sealing plate 2 is just close to the mounting plate 301. The upper screw 302 thereon also passes through the through hole 303 on the mounting plate 301, and then a nut is installed on the passing part of the screw 302 to fix the position of the sealing plate 2. Similarly, the nut is removed and the sealing plate 2 is pushed to move away from the mounting plate 301. The sealing plate 2 drives the slider 6 to move to the right, and the slider 6 slides to the right along the guide rail 5 to maintain The sealing plate 2 is moved linearly to open the openings on both sides of the bucket elevator body 1, and the staff can disassemble the hopper 101 through the openings, that is, push the fixing blocks 406 on both sides to move toward the middle part, and the fixing blocks 406 pass through the through grooves A403 and B407 to enter the shell 402, and then the shell 402 can be pulled out of the groove seat 401 to realize the disassembly of the hopper 101, so as to clean the hopper 101, and the fixing blocks 406 on both sides of the shell 402 are pressed. In the process of entering the shell 402, the fixed block 406 will drive the inner block 404 to move toward the middle part, and at the same time squeeze the spring 405 between the inner blocks 404. After the hopper 101 is cleaned, the fixed block 406 is squeezed into the shell 402 again, so that the shell 402 can be smoothly inserted into the groove seat 401 (the cross section of the groove seat 401 is the same as the cross section of the shell 402). After the insertion is completed, the fixed block 406 is unobstructed, and the spring 405 begins to extend in the opposite direction, thereby driving the fixed block 406 to reset through the inner block 404, so that the fixed block 406 can pass through the through groove A403 on the shell 402 and the through groove B407 on the groove seat 401, thereby fixing the groove seat 401 and the shell 402 together, and the installation of the hopper 101 is completed. The hopper 101 is very convenient to disassemble and assemble from the transmission belt, and then the sealing plate 2 is pushed to move in the opposite direction to seal the opening, and then its position is fixed by the nut, so that the staff does not need to move the seal up and down.

[0029] Furthermore, the cross-section of the inner block 404 is the same as the internal cross-section of the shell 402 and is larger than the cross-section of the through groove A403, so that the inner block 404 will not separate from the interior of the shell 402 and can move linearly along the interior of the shell 402. The two sealing plates 2 are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 8 on the end opposite to the fixing part 3, and the two sealing plates 2 are fixed together by the connecting plate 8. A handle A9 is welded on the surface of the connecting plate 8, so that pushing the handle A9 can simultaneously pull the movement of the two sealing plates 2, which is more convenient for the staff to operate.

[0030] During the normal operation of the bucket elevator, some materials may accidentally fall from the hopper 101 (for example, due to the vibration of the equipment) and enter the bottom of the bucket elevator. For this reason, the utility model opens the bottom of the bucket elevator body 1, and the bottom end of the bucket elevator body 1 is fixed to the base 11 through an N-shaped plate 10. The space supported by the N-shaped plate 10 is used for placing a material receiving box 12. The surface of the material receiving box 12 is fixedly connected with a handle B13. In this way, the material receiving box 12 is placed in the space supported by the N-shaped plate 10, and the material that falls to the bottom of the bucket elevator can be collected by the material receiving box 12. There is no need for the staff to clean the bottom of the bucket elevator regularly. The handle B13 facilitates the staff to pull the material receiving box 12 in and out of the space supported by the N-shaped plate 10.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and does not limit the utility model in any form. Any ordinary technician in the industry can smoothly implement the utility model as shown in the drawings of the specification and described above. However, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by technicians familiar with the profession without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the utility model using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the utility model.
