[0002] Bucket elevator is a lifting mechanical device widely used in industrial and mining enterprises, chemical industry, metallurgy and other fields. Bucket elevator mainly uses a lifting bucket to lift powdery or granular bulk materials to a certain height. It includes a bucket, a chain and a driving device. The driving device drives the bucket to move up and down through the driving chain. When the bucket passes through the feed port, the material is scooped up and transported upward; when the bucket reaches the top of the elevator and moves downward, the material is thrown out from the discharge port, thereby lifting and unloading the material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 A bucket elevator hopper mounting structure in this embodiment includes a hopper body 1, four limit slots 2 are opened on the top of the hopper body 1, an installation cavity 3 is opened inside the hopper body 1, a positioning structure 4 is arranged inside the installation cavity 3, and an accumulation side plate 5 is connected to the top of the hopper body 1.

[0025] Specifically, the positioning structure 4 is composed of eight parts: a fixed plate 401, a connecting column 402, a sliding seat 403, a return spring 404, a positioning block 405, a limit plug 406, a positioning groove 407 and a moving rod 408. One end of the return spring 404 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 401, and the other end of the return spring 404 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding seat 403. The interior of the installation cavity 3 is fixedly connected with a guide column. The moving rod 408 is located on the outer surface of the guide column and is slidably connected to the guide column. A through hole is provided between the cavity 3 and the limiting groove 2, and the positioning block 405 extends to the inside of the positioning groove 407 through the through hole. Four sliding holes are provided on the top of the hopper body 1, and the four sliding holes are respectively connected to the four mounting cavities 3. The top of the moving rod 408 extends to the top of the hopper body 1 through the sliding hole. The limiting plug 406 is initially engaged with the limiting groove 2, and then the elasticity of the reset spring 404 is used to drive the positioning block 405 to further engage with the positioning groove 407 to complete the connection and fixation of the accumulation side plate 5.

[0026] Specifically, by setting the number of the installation cavities 3 to four, the four limiting grooves 2 are respectively located at the four corners of the top of the hopper body 1, and the four installation cavities 3 correspond to the four limiting grooves 2, thereby making the overall connection installation more stable.

[0027] Specifically, by fixing a handle 6 on the top of the moving rod 408 and slidingly connecting a telescopic clamping rod 7 inside the handle, the installation or removal of the accumulation side panel 5 can be done by a single person, which is convenient and quick.

[0028] During implementation, the following steps are followed: when the volume of the hopper body 1 needs to be changed to adapt to materials with different characteristics, first pull the handle 6 outward and move it to a position where the telescopic card rod 7 can move downward by gravity. The extended part of the telescopic card rod 7 abuts against the outer wall of the hopper body 1, and then the limiting plug 406 at the bottom of the accumulation side plate 5 is inserted into the limiting groove 2, and then the telescopic card rod 7 is moved upward. Finally, the rebound expansion of the reset spring 404 is utilized to drive the positioning block 405 through the through hole through the sliding seat 403 to be clamped in the positioning groove 407, thereby completing the connection and fixation of the accumulation side plate 5.

[0029] In summary, the bucket installation structure of the bucket elevator, by setting the accumulation side plate 5 and the positioning structure 4, when it is necessary to change the volume of the bucket body 1 to adapt to materials with different characteristics, the handle 6 is pulled outward and moved to the position where the telescopic clamping rod 7 can move downward by gravity. The telescopic clamping rod 7 is used to abut against the outer wall of the hopper body 1, and the limiting plug block 406 at the bottom of the accumulation side plate 5 is inserted into the limiting groove 2, and then the telescopic clamping rod 7 is moved upward. At this time, the rebound expansion of the return spring 404 is utilized to drive the positioning block 405 through the through hole through the sliding seat 403 to be connected to the inside of the positioning groove 407, thereby completing the connection and fixation of the accumulation side plate 5, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the volume of the bucket body 1, and solving the problem that the bucket of the bucket elevator on the market is currently connected to the hinged rotating plate on the elevator plate chain by welding. When the volume of the bucket needs to be changed to adapt to materials with different characteristics, the rotating plate needs to be replaced, which is time-consuming and laborious.
