[0033] The material is loaded at a low place and discharged after being moved to a high place. The material naturally falls into the discharge trough 4 in the hopper body 2, and is discharged from the discharge pipe 7 through the discharge mechanism 5, so as to be fed into the high feed port of the lower equipment;

[0034] When the material is a frozen product, condensed water will be generated on the outer wall of the hopper body 2. In order to ensure that the condensed water does not enter the downstream equipment from the discharge pipe 7, the condensed water is drained through the condensed water drainage component 6, and the condensed water on the discharge pipe 7 is diverted to the side close to the hopper body 2 and discharged, preventing the condensed water on the outer wall of the hopper body 2 from entering the downstream equipment and causing pollution.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment 2, the linkage mechanism 3 is symmetrical about the middle position of the hopper body 2, so as to ensure the stability of the linkage and facilitate the movement of the hopper body 2.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment 3, the linkage mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 301, which is vertically fixedly matched with the two sides of the hopper body 2 respectively, and a plurality of equally spaced pulleys 302 are provided on the mounting plate 301, and a track 303 corresponding to the pulley 302 is provided on the chain loader 1, and the pulley 302 forms a limited sliding fit with the corresponding track 303, and a chain linkage assembly 304 is provided on the mounting plate 301, and the mounting plate 301 forms a linkage fit with the conveying chain of the chain loader 1 through the chain linkage assembly 304.

[0037] Example 3 provides the specific structure of the linkage mechanism 3, in which the hopper body 2 is fixed to the mounting plate 301 to form a linkage cooperation, and the arrangement of the pulley 302 and the limited sliding cooperation formed by the pulley 302 and the corresponding track 303 facilitate the movement of the hopper body 2, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement, and the pulley 302 and the corresponding track 303 form a certain degree of supporting effect on the hopper body 2.

The motor 504 provides driving force to drive the screw conveyor shaft 501 to rotate, thereby conveying the material in the hopper body 2 and finally discharging it from the discharge pipe 7.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment 6, the hopper body 2, the discharge trough 4 and the discharge pipe 7 are integrally formed, which is convenient for use and installation. The size of the discharge trough 4 is the same as that of the discharge pipe 7, and the discharge pipe 7 is connected to the hopper body 2 through the discharge trough 4, which is convenient for the arrangement of the discharge mechanism 5.

On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the stability during feeding and transportation, and on the other hand, it is beneficial for the condensate on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 7 to contact the condensate drainage assembly 6 along the pipe wall and perform drainage operations, further preventing the condensate on the outer wall from entering the lower-level equipment.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment 8, embodiment 7 is mainly realized by the relative position relationship between the hopper body 2 and the mounting plate 301.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment 10, the top of the drainage rope 602 passes through the bottom of the water-absorbing ring 601 and is engaged with the water-absorbing ring 601 through a knot, thereby ensuring the installation of the drainage rope 602 and the drainage effect.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment 11, the water absorption ring 601 is a sponge ring, and the drainage rope 602 is a cotton rope, which ensures the water absorption effect and the drainage effect.

[0049] The utility model provides a hopper mechanism of a chain feeder that is convenient for draining condensed water, wherein a hopper body 2 is installed in cooperation with a chain feeder 1, and a linkage mechanism 3 is driven by a chain to form a synchronous motion, thereby realizing a reciprocating motion in an inclined direction, and facilitating installation and disassembly;

[0050] The material is loaded at a low place and discharged after being moved to a high place. The material naturally falls into the discharge trough 4 in the hopper body 2, and is discharged from the discharge pipe 7 through the discharge mechanism 5, so as to be fed into the high feed port of the lower equipment;

[0051] When the material is a frozen product, condensed water will be generated on the outer wall of the hopper body 2.
