[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ore sorting equipment, in particular to a feeder component and a sorting machine. Background Art
[0002] At present, when sorting ore, a sorting machine is usually used to realize the sorting function. The vibrating feeder body in the sorting machine has different layout methods due to the differences in the on-site environment. In the related technology, the vibrating feeder body adopts a single layout method. When encountering sudden material distribution requirements from the mine, there is a need for temporary replacement or customization of products, which greatly increases the production cycle and has poor flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.
[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present utility model provides a feeder assembly.
[0005] The embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model provides a sorting machine.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model provides a feeder assembly for a sorting machine, the sorting machine includes a body frame, the feeder assembly includes: a vibrating feeder body, which is arranged in the body frame; a connecting assembly, which is arranged on the body frame, the connecting assembly includes an upper hanging structure and a lower supporting structure, the vibrating feeder body is connected to the body frame through one of the upper hanging structure and the lower supporting structure; wherein the lower supporting structure is retractable to adjust the height of the vibrating feeder body, and when the lower supporting structure moves to the switching station, the vibrating feeder body is connected to the body frame through the upper hanging structure, and the lower supporting structure is disconnected from the vibrating feeder body.
[0007] According to the feeder assembly proposed in the utility model, the adaptability and working efficiency of the sorting machine under different working conditions are improved. By adopting a switchable upper hanging structure and a lower supporting structure, the feeder assembly can flexibly adjust the height and position to meet different operating requirements. It can be understood that this design reduces the downtime caused by equipment adjustment and improves production efficiency and equipment flexibility. Specifically, the feeder assembly mainly includes a vibrating feeder body and a connecting assembly. The vibrating feeder body is located in the body frame and is the core part of the sorting machine. It is responsible for evenly conveying materials such as ore to ensure continuous supply of materials and smooth sorting process. The connecting assembly is arranged on the body frame, including an upper hanging structure and a lower supporting structure, which can serve as a connecting bridge between the vibrating feeder body and the body frame to ensure the stability and flexible adjustment of the vibrating feeder body. Among them, the upper hanging structure is used to hang the vibration feeder body on the body frame. The upper hanging structure provides a way of height adjustment, so that the feeder can be quickly adjusted to a suitable height according to work requirements. The lower support structure is used to support the vibration feeder body at the bottom, allowing the vibration feeder body to be adjusted between different heights to adapt to different work height requirements. When switching workstations, the lower support structure can be retracted to facilitate quick disconnection from the vibration feeder body.
[0008] It should be added that the feeder assembly provided by the present solution can meet the needs of different layout methods under different conditions, for example, it can be hoisted to the machine frame in the form of upper hoisting, or set on the machine frame in the form of bottom support. In most working conditions or transportation conditions, the vibration feeder body is connected to the machine frame through the lower support structure. When it is necessary to arrange it in the form of upper hoisting, the lower support structure will be moved, specifically to the switching station. At this time, the vibration feeder body can be manually or automatically connected to the upper hanging structure, thereby realizing the change of the layout method.
[0009] In some technical solutions, optionally, the vibrating feeder body includes: a main body structure, on which a hanging piece is provided, and the hanging piece is used to be connected to the upper hanging structure; a support seat, which is arranged at the bottom of the main body structure, and the support seat is used to resist the lower support structure; wherein the main body structure includes a connected feeding hopper and a vibration mechanism, the vibration mechanism operates to make the feeding hopper vibrate, and the support seat is arranged at the bottom of the feeding hopper and the vibration mechanism.
[0010] In this technical solution, the vibrating feeder body includes a body structure and a support base. The body structure includes a feed hopper and a vibrating mechanism. The body structure, as the main part of the vibrating feeder body, is usually made of strong and durable materials to withstand the weight and vibration of materials such as ore. The hanging piece is located at the top of the body structure and is designed with a special connection point for connecting with the upper hanging structure. The hanging piece allows the vibrating feeder body to be hoisted through the upper hanging structure, which is convenient for adjustment between different heights and positions to meet different operating requirements.
[0011] The support base is located at the bottom of the main body structure, and is designed to offset the lower support structure to provide stable support. The support base ensures the stability of the vibrating feeder body during operation and prevents displacement or tilting due to vibration.
[0012] The feed hopper in the main structure is connected to the vibration mechanism to carry and transport materials. It can be understood that the connection between the feed hopper and the vibration mechanism ensures the effective transmission of vibration, so that the material is evenly distributed on the feed hopper and laid for subsequent sorting. This connection method needs to be able to withstand the repeated stress caused by vibration and ensure long-term stable operation. In addition, the design and material selection of the feed hopper directly affect the material conveying efficiency and sorting effect.
[0013] The vibration mechanism is located on one side of the feed hopper and is driven by a motor or other power source to generate vibration, which evenly distributes the material on the feed hopper and transfers the material to the sorting area through the discharge port.
[0014] It should be noted that a hanging piece is provided on the main body structure, and the vibrating feeder body can be hoisted by connecting the hanging piece with the upper hanging structure, so as to facilitate adjustment between different heights / angles. This connection method usually needs to be fast and stable to ensure the safety of the vibrating feeder body during the adjustment process.
[0015] The connection between the support base and the lower support structure provides stable support for the vibrating feeder body. When the height or position needs to be adjusted, the lower support structure can be retracted, while the support base remains fixedly connected to the vibrating feeder body, ensuring that the vibrating feeder body will not move during the adjustment process.
[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding hopper is provided with a discharge port, and the vibration mechanism and the discharge port are arranged on opposite sides of the feeding hopper.
[0017] In this technical solution, the discharge port is located on one side of the hopper and is arranged opposite to the vibration mechanism, so that the material can be discharged smoothly from the discharge port after being evenly dispersed. The oppositely arranged discharge port and vibration mechanism are conducive to the continuous flow and uniform diffusion of the material.
[0018] It should be added that the discharge port usually has a certain inclination angle to facilitate the flow and collection of materials. The inclined design helps the material to flow out naturally by gravity, reduces the risk of blockage, and improves the efficiency of material handling.
[0019] Of course, the vibrating feeder body can also be used as an oscillating screen. The feed hopper is replaced with a screen. The size and shape of the discharge port are designed according to the characteristics of the processed material and production needs. The appropriate size and shape ensure the smooth discharge of the material, and it is also convenient for the collection and further processing of materials of different particle sizes.
[0020] The vibration mechanism is located on one side of the feed hopper, opposite to the discharge port. The vibration mechanism produces regular vibrations to effectively screen the material on the feed hopper. The direction and frequency of vibration can be adjusted according to the material characteristics and screening requirements. The vibration of the vibration mechanism helps the material move toward the discharge port and promotes the discharge of the material. At the same time, vibration also helps prevent the accumulation of materials on the feed hopper, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the screening process.
[0021] In addition, by precisely controlling the vibration parameters of the vibration mechanism, the distribution and flow of materials during movement can be optimized. The materials will first spread and then move on the feed hopper, thereby improving screening efficiency and processing capacity.
[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, the hanging structure specifically includes: a first spring, one end of the first spring is connected to the body frame, and the other end is connected to the hanging member.
[0023] In this technical solution, the first spring provides the necessary elastic support so that the vibration feeder body can be stably suspended on the body frame. At the same time, the elasticity of the spring can absorb and reduce the impact and vibration generated when the vibration feeder body is running, protecting the body frame from damage. It can be understood that the first spring is made of elastic material and has a certain elasticity and load-bearing capacity.
[0024] One end of the first spring is connected to the machine frame, and the other end is connected to the hanging piece on the vibrating feeder body, ensuring a stable connection between the vibrating feeder body and the machine frame, while also allowing a certain displacement to adapt to dimensional changes caused by factors such as vibration and temperature changes.
[0025] It should be added that the elastic support of the first spring helps to maintain the stability of the vibration feeder body and prevent excessive swing or displacement during operation. Of course, the first spring can absorb the vibration generated by the vibration feeder body during operation, reduce the impact on the body frame, and extend the life of the equipment.
[0026] The design of the first spring makes it easy to adjust the height of the vibration feeder body, and the position of the feeder can be quickly adjusted according to production needs.
[0027] The connection between the first spring and the machine frame and the hanging member ensures the stable suspension of the vibrating feeder body and provides a reliable supporting point. By adjusting the tension of the first spring, the height and angle of the vibrating feeder body can be fine-tuned to adapt to different operating conditions.
[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the lower support structure specifically includes: a screw lifting mechanism, which is arranged at the bottom of the body frame, and the movable end of the screw lifting mechanism is abutted against the support seat.
[0029] In this technical solution, the lower support structure is a screw lifting mechanism, which is usually composed of a screw (screw) and a nut. It is a common linear transmission device that can convert rotational motion into linear motion. Under the action of the screw structure, precise linear motion control can be provided, so that the support seat can move up and down along the screw to achieve precise adjustment of the height of the vibrating feeder body.
[0030] The movable end of the screw lifting mechanism is in contact with the support seat and is usually designed to withstand certain pressure and impact. The design of the movable end ensures a stable connection between the screw lifting mechanism and the vibrating feeder body, while also allowing a certain load to be borne during the adjustment process.
[0031] It can be understood that the screw lifting mechanism allows the vibrating feeder body to be precisely adjusted in height in the vertical direction to adapt to different operating requirements and processing conditions. Through the support of the screw lifting mechanism, the vibrating feeder body can obtain stable support, reducing vibration and displacement during operation.
[0032] The design of the screw lifting mechanism enables it to adapt to different load changes and ensure the stable operation of the vibrating feeder body under different working conditions.
[0033] The screw lifting mechanism is usually designed with a manual or automatic adjustment mechanism, so that the operator can easily adjust the height of the vibrating feeder body.
[0034] In some technical solutions, optionally, the hanging structure specifically includes: a hand chain hoist, an upper hook of the hand chain hoist is fixed to the top of the body frame, and a grab hook of the hand chain hoist is connected to the hanging member.
[0035] In this technical solution, the upper hanging structure is selected as a hand chain hoist, which can provide stable lifting force through manual operation for hoisting and lifting heavy objects. The upper hook of the hand chain hoist is designed to be fixed on the top of the machine frame, and the grab hook is used to connect with the hanging piece of the vibrating feeder body. The design of the upper hook and the grab hook ensures the stable connection between the hand chain hoist and the machine frame and the vibrating feeder body, providing a reliable lifting point.
[0036] It should be added that a hand hoist is a manual lifting tool that usually includes a chain, handwheel, guide rail and pulley system.
[0037] The main function of the chain hoist is to provide sufficient lifting force to lift the vibrating feeder body to the required working height. The design of the chain hoist allows the operator to lift heavy objects by manually pulling the hand wheel, without the need for complex mechanical equipment, and is easy to operate. By adjusting the chain length of the chain hoist, the height of the vibrating feeder body can be accurately controlled to meet different operating requirements.
[0038] Of course, chain hoists are usually equipped with safety devices, such as limiters and brake systems, to ensure safety during the lifting process.
[0039] The upper hook of the chain hoist is fixed to the top of the body frame, and the grab hook is connected to the lifting piece of the vibrating feeder body to form a stable lifting system. By manually operating the chain hoist, the height of the vibrating feeder body can be quickly and accurately adjusted to suit different working conditions. The use of the chain hoist simplifies the lifting and maintenance process of the vibrating feeder body, making it easier to perform routine inspections and necessary maintenance operations. The chain hoist provides a quick and effective way to adjust the position of the vibrating feeder body, which helps to improve the efficiency of the entire sorting process.
[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, the lower support structure specifically includes: a hand-crank jack, which is arranged at the bottom of the body frame, and the top of the hand-crank jack is in contact with the support seat.
[0041] In this technical solution, the lower support structure is selected as a hand-cranked jack, which is a manual lifting device that achieves lifting and lowering actions through a hand crank handle. The hand-cranked operation provides a simple and direct method to adjust the height of the vibrating feeder body without the need for an external power supply or a complex control system.
[0042] Hand jacks are usually compact in design and occupy a small area. The compact design makes hand jacks suitable for various working environments, especially in places with limited space.
[0043] The hand-cranked jack allows the operator to manually and precisely control the height of the vibrating feeder body to meet different operating requirements. The position of the vibrating feeder body can be quickly adjusted through simple hand-cranking operations, which improves the efficiency and response speed of the operation.
[0044] In addition, hand jacks are usually equipped with a safety locking device to ensure safety during the lifting process and prevent accidental falling or sliding.
[0045] In some technical solutions, optionally, the hanging member includes: a hanging ring, which is arranged on the left and right sides of the feeding hopper, and the hanging ring is located at the upper end of the feeding hopper; and a hanging hole, which is arranged on the vibration mechanism.
[0046] In this technical solution, the lifting parts include two parts, one is the lifting ring, and the other is the lifting hole. The lifting ring is a metal ring structure fixed to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the feed hopper, usually made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials. The lifting ring provides a solid connection point for hanging the vibrating feeder body on the body frame. They can withstand the weight of the vibrating feeder body and the dynamic load generated during operation.
[0047] The lifting hole is an opening on the vibrating mechanism for connecting with lifting equipment (such as hooks or ropes). The existence of the lifting hole allows the vibrating feeder body to be connected to the body frame or other structures through the lifting equipment. This design allows for easy lifting, movement and positioning of the equipment.
[0048] The design of the hanging parts ensures the stability of the vibrating feeder body during the hoisting process, preventing accidental sliding or rotation during lifting and moving. The location and design of the hanging parts allow the vibrating feeder body to be quickly installed on the body frame as needed, and it is also easy to disassemble and maintain.
[0049] By arranging lifting rings on the left and right sides of the feed hopper, the lifting parts can effectively disperse the weight of the vibrating feeder body and reduce the local load on the body frame.
[0050] The design of the lifting parts allows the vibrating feeder body to adapt to different lifting and installation requirements, whether it is lifted at the top or bottom of the body frame.
[0051] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a limiting structure, which is arranged on the lower supporting structure, and the limiting structure is used to limit the movement of the lower supporting structure.
[0052] In this technical solution, the limit structure is designed to accurately control the movement range of the lower support structure, and usually includes components such as a limit block, a limit pin, and a locking device. Through the precise limit design, it is ensured that the lower support structure can stably maintain the position after being adjusted to the predetermined position, preventing accidental movement during operation.
[0053] Among them, the limiting structure is usually made of high-strength materials and undergoes rigorous durability testing to ensure reliability in long-term use. A reliable limiting structure can work stably under various working conditions and reduce equipment downtime or safety accidents caused by structural failures.
[0054] In addition, the design of the limit structure takes into account the convenience of operation. Usually, locking and unlocking can be achieved through simple manual operation. The easy-to-operate limit structure enables workers to quickly adjust and fix the position of the lower support structure, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0055] Under the action of the limit structure, it can ensure that the lower support structure can be safely and stably locked after being adjusted to the appropriate position, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by accidental movement. Of course, through precise limit, the movement and positioning of the lower support structure can be guaranteed to meet the design requirements, thereby improving the operating accuracy of the entire vibrating feeder body system.

[0057] The sorting machine proposed according to the utility model includes any feeder assembly described in the first aspect. Since the sorting machine includes the feeder assembly of any of the above schemes, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above feeder assemblies, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0068] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0069] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 Some embodiments according to the present invention are described.
[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, a feeder assembly 100 proposed in this embodiment mainly includes a vibrating feeder body 102 and a connecting assembly 104. The vibrating feeder body 102 is located in the machine frame 202 and is the core part of the sorting machine 200. It is responsible for evenly conveying materials such as ore to ensure the continuous supply of materials and the smooth progress of the sorting process. The connecting assembly 104 is arranged on the machine frame 202, including an upper hanging structure 1042 and a lower supporting structure 1044, which can serve as a connecting bridge between the vibrating feeder body 102 and the machine frame 202 to ensure the stability and flexible adjustment of the vibrating feeder body 102. Among them, the upper hanging structure 1042 is used to hang the vibration feeder body 102 on the body frame 202. The upper hanging structure 1042 provides a height adjustment method, so that the feeder can be quickly adjusted to a suitable height according to work requirements. The lower support structure 1044 is used to support the vibration feeder body 102 at the bottom, allowing the vibration feeder body 102 to be adjusted between different heights to adapt to different work height requirements. When switching workstations, the lower support structure 1044 can be retracted to facilitate quick disconnection from the vibration feeder body 102.
[0071] It should be added that the feeder assembly 100 provided in this solution can meet the needs of different layouts under different conditions, for example, it can be hoisted to the body frame 202 in the form of upper hoisting, or set on the body frame 202 in the form of bottom support. In most working conditions or transportation conditions, the vibrating feeder body 102 is connected to the body frame 202 through the lower support structure 1044. When it is necessary to arrange it in the form of upper hoisting, the lower support structure 1044 will be moved, specifically to the switching station. At this time, the vibrating feeder body 102 can be manually or automatically connected to the upper hanging structure 1042, thereby realizing the change of the layout.
[0072] Among them, the adaptability and working efficiency of the sorting machine 200 under different working conditions are improved. By adopting the switchable upper hanging structure 1042 and the lower supporting structure 1044, the feeder assembly 100 can flexibly adjust the height and position to meet different working requirements. It can be understood that this design reduces the downtime caused by equipment adjustment and improves production efficiency and equipment flexibility.
[0073] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 2 As shown, the vibrating feeder body 102 includes a body structure 1022 and a support base 1026. The body structure 1022 includes a feed hopper 1032 and a vibrating mechanism 1034. The body structure 1022 is the main part of the vibrating feeder body and is usually made of a strong and durable material to withstand the weight and vibration of materials such as ore. The hanging member 1023 is located at the top of the body structure 1022 and is designed with a special connection point for connecting with the upper hanging structure 1042. The hanging member 1023 allows the vibrating feeder body 102 to be hoisted through the upper hanging structure 1042, which is convenient for adjustment between different heights and positions to meet different operating requirements.
[0074] The support base 1026 is located at the bottom of the main body structure 1022 and is designed to be against the lower support structure 1044 to provide stable support. The support base 1026 ensures the stability of the vibrating feeder body 102 during operation and prevents displacement or tilting due to vibration.
[0075] The feed hopper 1032 in the main structure 1022 is connected to the vibration mechanism 1034 for carrying and transmitting materials. It can be understood that the connection between the feed hopper 1032 and the vibration mechanism 1034 ensures the effective transmission of vibration, so that the materials are evenly distributed on the feed hopper 1032. This connection method needs to be able to withstand the repeated stress caused by vibration and ensure long-term stable operation. In addition, the design and material selection of the feed hopper 1032 directly affect the material transportation efficiency and sorting effect.
[0076] The vibration mechanism 1034 is located on one side of the feed hopper 1032 and is driven by a motor or other power source to generate vibration, thereby evenly distributing the material on the feed hopper 1032 through the vibration and transferring the material to the sorting area through the discharge port.
[0077] It should be noted that a hanging member 1023 is provided on the main body structure 1022. By connecting the hanging member 1023 with the upper hanging structure 1042, the vibrating feeder body 102 can be hoisted, which is convenient for adjustment between different heights / angles. This connection method usually needs to be fast and stable to ensure the safety of the vibrating feeder body 102 during the adjustment process.
[0078] The connection between the support base 1026 and the lower support structure 1044 provides stable support for the vibrating feeder body 102. When the height or position needs to be adjusted, the lower support structure 1044 can be retracted, while the support base 1026 remains fixedly connected to the vibrating feeder body 102, ensuring that the vibrating feeder body 102 does not move during the adjustment process.
[0079] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3As shown, the discharge port 1033 is located on one side of the feed hopper 1032 and is arranged opposite to the vibration mechanism 1034, so that the material can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 1033 after being evenly dispersed. The oppositely arranged discharge port 1033 and vibration mechanism 1034 are conducive to the continuous flow and uniform diffusion of the material.
[0080] It should be added that the discharge port 1033 usually has a certain inclination angle to facilitate the flow and collection of materials. The inclined design helps the materials to flow out naturally by gravity, reduces the risk of blockage, and improves the efficiency of material processing.
[0081] Of course, the vibrating feeder body can also be used as an oscillating screen. The feed hopper is replaced with a screen. The size and shape of the discharge port 1033 are designed according to the characteristics of the processed material and production requirements. The appropriate size and shape ensure the smooth discharge of the material, and also facilitate the collection and further processing of materials of different particle sizes.
[0082] The vibration mechanism 1034 is located on one side of the feed hopper 1032 and is arranged opposite to the discharge port 1033. The vibration mechanism 1034 generates regular vibrations to effectively screen the materials on the feed hopper 1032. The direction and frequency of the vibration can be adjusted according to the material characteristics and screening requirements. The vibration of the vibration mechanism 1034 helps the materials move toward the discharge port 1033 and promotes the discharge of the materials. At the same time, the vibration also helps to prevent the accumulation of materials on the feed hopper 1032, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the feeding process.
[0083] In addition, by precisely controlling the vibration parameters of the vibration mechanism 1034, the distribution and flow of the material during the movement can be optimized, and the material will first diffuse and then move on the feed hopper, thereby improving the screening efficiency and processing capacity.
[0084] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 4 As shown, the first spring 1052 provides the necessary elastic support so that the vibration feeder body 102 can be stably suspended on the body frame 202. At the same time, the elasticity of the spring can absorb and reduce the impact and vibration generated when the vibration feeder body is running, protecting the body frame 202 from damage. It can be understood that the first spring 1052 is made of elastic material and has a certain elasticity and load-bearing capacity.
[0085] One end of the first spring 1052 is connected to the body frame 202, and the other end is connected to the hanging piece 1023 on the vibrating feeder body 102, ensuring a stable connection between the vibrating feeder body 102 and the body frame 202, while also allowing a certain displacement to adapt to dimensional changes caused by factors such as vibration and temperature changes.
[0086] It should be added that the elastic support of the first spring 1052 helps to maintain the stability of the vibration feeder body 102 and prevent excessive swinging or displacement during operation. Of course, the first spring 1052 can absorb the vibration generated by the vibration feeder body during operation, reduce the impact on the body frame 202, and extend the life of the equipment.
[0087] The design of the first spring 1052 makes it easy to adjust the height of the vibration feeder body 102, and the position of the feeder can be quickly adjusted according to production needs.
[0088] The connection between the first spring 1052, the machine frame 202 and the hanging member 1023 ensures the stable suspension of the vibration feeder body 102 and provides a reliable support point. By adjusting the tension of the first spring 1052, the height and angle of the vibration feeder body 102 can be fine-tuned to adapt to different operating conditions.
[0089] In some embodiments, the lower support structure 1044 is optionally a screw lifting mechanism 1054, which is generally composed of a screw (screw) and a nut, and is a common linear transmission device that can convert rotational motion into linear motion. Under the action of the screw structure, precise linear motion control can be provided, so that the support seat 1026 can move up and down along the screw, and the height of the vibrating feeder body 102 can be precisely adjusted.
[0090] The movable end of the screw lifting mechanism 1054 is in contact with the support seat 1026 and is generally designed to withstand certain pressure and impact. The design of the movable end ensures a stable connection between the screw lifting mechanism 1054 and the vibrating feeder body 102, while also allowing a certain load to be borne during the adjustment process.
[0091] It is understood that the screw lifting mechanism 1054 allows the vibrating feeder body 102 to be precisely adjusted in the vertical direction to adapt to different operating requirements and processing conditions. Through the support of the screw lifting mechanism 1054, the vibrating feeder body 102 can obtain stable support to reduce vibration and displacement during operation.
[0092] The design of the lead screw lifting mechanism 1054 enables it to adapt to different load changes, ensuring the stable operation of the vibrating feeder body 102 under different working conditions.
[0093] The screw lifting mechanism 1054 is usually designed with a manual or automatic adjustment mechanism so that the operator can easily adjust the height of the vibrating feeder body 102.
[0094] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 5As shown, the upper hanging structure 1042 is selected as a hand chain hoist 1056. The hand chain hoist 1056 can provide a stable lifting force through manual operation for hoisting and lifting heavy objects. The upper hook of the hand chain hoist 1056 is designed to be fixed on the top of the body frame 202, and the grab hook is used to be connected to the hanging member 1023 of the vibrating feeder body 102. The design of the upper hook and the grab hook ensures a stable connection between the hand chain hoist 1056 and the body frame 202 and the vibrating feeder body 102, providing a reliable lifting point.
[0095] It should be added that the hand chain hoist 1056 is a manual lifting tool, which usually includes a chain, handwheel, guide rail and pulley system.
[0096] The main function of the hand chain hoist 1056 is to provide sufficient lifting force for hoisting the vibrating feeder body 102 to the required working height. The design of the hand chain hoist 1056 allows the operator to lift heavy objects by manually pulling the hand wheel, without the need for complex mechanical equipment, and is easy to operate. By adjusting the chain length of the hand chain hoist 1056, the height of the vibrating feeder body 102 can be accurately controlled to meet different operating requirements.
[0097] Of course, the chain hoist 1056 is usually equipped with safety devices, such as limiters and brake systems, to ensure safety during the lifting process.
[0098] The upper hook of the hand chain hoist 1056 is fixed to the top of the body frame 202, and the grab hook is connected to the hanging piece 1023 of the vibrating feeder body 102, forming a stable lifting system. By manually operating the hand chain hoist 1056, the height of the vibrating feeder body 102 can be quickly and accurately adjusted to adapt to different working conditions. The use of the hand chain hoist 1056 simplifies the lifting and maintenance process of the vibrating feeder body 102, and facilitates routine inspections and necessary maintenance operations. The hand chain hoist 1056 provides a quick and effective way to adjust the position of the vibrating feeder body 102, which helps to improve the work efficiency of the entire sorting process.
[0099] In some embodiments, the lower support structure 1044 is optionally selected as a hand-cranked jack 1058, which is a manual lifting device that achieves lifting and lowering actions by a hand-cranked handle. The hand-cranked operation provides a simple and direct method to adjust the height of the vibrating feeder body 102 without the need for an external power supply or a complex control system.
[0100] The hand jack 1058 is usually compact in design and occupies a small area. The compact design makes the hand jack 1058 suitable for various working environments, especially in occasions with limited space.
[0101] Under the action of the hand-cranked jack 1058, the operator is allowed to manually and precisely control the height of the vibrating feeder body 102 to meet different operating requirements. Through simple hand-cranking operations, the position of the vibrating feeder body 102 can be quickly adjusted, thereby improving the efficiency and response speed of the operation.
[0102] In addition, the hand jack 1058 is usually equipped with a safety locking device to ensure safety during the lifting process and prevent accidental falling or sliding.
[0103] In some embodiments, the hanging member 1023 may include two parts, one of which is a hanging ring 1024 and the other is a hanging hole 1025, wherein the hanging ring 1024 is a metal ring structure fixed to the upper ends of the left and right sides of the feed hopper 1032, and is usually made of a high-strength, wear-resistant material, and the hanging ring 1024 provides a solid connection point for hanging the vibrating feeder body 102 on the body frame 202. They can bear the weight of the vibrating feeder body 102 and the dynamic load generated during operation.
[0104] The lifting hole 1025 is an opening provided on the vibration mechanism 1034 for connecting with a lifting device (such as a hook or a rope). The existence of the lifting hole 1025 enables the vibration feeder body 102 to be connected with the body frame 202 or other structures through the lifting device. This design allows for convenient lifting, movement and positioning of the equipment.
[0105] The design of the hanging member 1023 ensures the stability of the vibrating feeder body 102 during the hoisting process, and prevents accidental sliding or rotation during the lifting and moving process. The position and design of the hanging member 1023 allow the vibrating feeder body 102 to be quickly installed on the body frame 202 as needed, and also facilitates disassembly and maintenance.
[0106] By providing the lifting rings 1024 on the left and right sides of the feed hopper 1032 , the hanging parts 1023 can effectively disperse the weight of the vibration feeder body 102 and reduce the local load on the body frame 202 .
[0107] The design of the hanging member 1023 allows the vibrating feeder body 102 to adapt to different hanging and installation requirements, no matter it is hung at the top or the bottom of the body frame 202.
[0108] In some embodiments, the limiting structure 106 is optionally designed to accurately control the range of movement of the lower support structure 1044, and generally includes components such as a limiting block, a limiting pin, and a locking device. Through the precise limiting design, it is ensured that the lower support structure 1044 can stably maintain the position after being adjusted to a predetermined position, thereby preventing accidental movement during operation.
[0109] Among them, the limiting structure 106 is usually made of high-strength materials and undergoes strict durability tests to ensure reliability in long-term use. A reliable limiting structure 106 can work stably under various working conditions and reduce equipment downtime or safety accidents caused by structural failures.
[0110] In addition, the design of the limiting structure 106 takes into account the convenience of operation, and locking and unlocking can usually be achieved through simple manual operation. The easy-to-operate limiting structure 106 enables the staff to quickly adjust the position and fix the lower support structure 1044, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0111] Under the action of the limiting structure 106, it can ensure that the lower support structure 1044 can be safely and stably locked after being adjusted to the appropriate position, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by accidental movement. Of course, through precise limiting, it is ensured that the movement and positioning of the lower support structure 1044 meet the design requirements, thereby improving the operating accuracy of the entire vibrating feeder body system.
[0112] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present application proposes another embodiment of a sorting machine, including any of the above feeder assemblies 100. Since the sorting machine 200 includes the feeder assembly 100 of any of the above schemes, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above feeder assemblies 100, which will not be described in detail here.
[0113] In a specific embodiment, a feeder is proposed, including: a vibrating feeder body, a tension spring (i.e., a first spring), a screw lifter (i.e., a screw lift mechanism), etc. The vibrating feeder body is welded with lifting rings on the left and right sides of the front feeding hopper for upper lifting. A notch (i.e., a lifting hole) is opened at the upper end of the rear vibrating head, which is also used for upper lifting. The vibrating feeder body is welded with a support seat at the bottom of the front feeding hopper, on which a support spring can be arranged. A support seat is also welded at the lower end of the rear vibrating head for arranging a support spring. One end of the tension spring is connected to the equipment frame (i.e., the machine body frame), and the other end is respectively connected to the feeding hopper lifting ring and the rear feeder notch. The bottom of the screw lifter is fixed to the bottom of the frame, and the top is connected to the feeding hopper and the support seat at the lower end of the vibrating head.
[0114] On the basis of the above specific embodiments, the tension spring may be replaced by a hand chain hoist, and the lead screw lifter may be replaced by a hand-cranked pull-rod jack (ie, a hand-cranked jack).
[0115] This solution is mainly used in the working conditions where the position of the vibrating feeder body is frequently changed. By quickly switching the material distribution form, it can meet the various working conditions of the mine, with better adaptability and higher sorting efficiency.
[0116] Take the upper hanging structure as a tension spring and the lower supporting structure as a lead screw lifter as an example. In the initial state, the vibrating feeder body is supported by the bottom lead screw lifter. At this time, the lead screw lifter is in the lowest position, and the top lifting ring of the feed hopper is not connected to the tension spring. According to the drop flight time set by the software, shake the lead screw lifter handwheel, and the lead screw drives the vibrating feeder body at the corresponding position on the top to lift to the appropriate position. Then, use the top screw limit block to lock the lead screw movement, and the equipment can work normally with the lower supporting structure. When it is necessary to switch to the upper hanging structure, open the top screw limit block, continue to shake the handwheel, and the lead screw drives the vibrating feeder body to rise until the top lifting ring moves to the position of the tension spring. After hanging the bottom hook of the tension spring on the corresponding lifting ring of the feeder, fine-tune the relative position height to realize the conversion of the feeder from the lower supporting structure to the upper hanging structure. If the upper hanging structure is converted to the lower supporting structure, the opposite operation can be performed.
[0117] Similarly, a similar function can be achieved by using another scheme. This scheme uses a hand chain hoist as the upper hanging structure and a hand-cranked tie rod jack as the lower supporting structure. The hand-cranked tie rod jack is formed of four tie rods to form a symmetrical parallelogram structure. The bottom ends of the two tie rods at the bottom are fixed to the shaft and can rotate based on the fixed shaft. The top ends of the two tie rods at the top are also fixed to the shaft and can also rotate based on the fixed shaft. The other ends of the two tie rods on the same side are connected to each other and are equipped with threaded holes. The thread buckle on one side is a positive thread and the thread buckle on the other side is a reverse thread. When in use, use a long threaded rod and pass through the threaded hole connected to the intermediate shaft at the same time. Rotate the long screw clockwise, the positive threaded hole on the right side drives the tie rod to move to the left, and the reverse threaded hole on the right side drives the tie rod to move to the right, so that the jack can be lifted. Conversely, rotate the long screw counterclockwise to lower the jack. When working, first adjust the jack to the lowest position, and connect the four spring supports at the bottom of the vibrating feeder body to the jack. According to the drop flight time set by the software, rotate the long screw at the corresponding position to adjust the height. When it is appropriate, use the top screw to limit and lock the screw rotation to start the work of the lower support structure. When the lower support structure needs to be converted into a hanging structure, lower the top hand chain hoist until it is connected to the lifting ring at the top of the feeder, loosen the limit top screw of the bottom jack drive screw, lift the hand chain hoist, and the feeder will be separated from the bottom jack. Rise to the drop height set by the system to start the work of the hanging structure. Vice versa.
[0118] According to the feeder assembly and sorting machine provided by the utility model, by adopting a switchable upper hanging structure and lower supporting structure, the feeder assembly can flexibly adjust the height and position to meet different operating requirements, thereby improving the adaptability and working efficiency of the sorting machine under different working conditions.
