[0028] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a mechanical hopper discharge gate includes a support frame assembled on the hopper 1, the support frame is connected to a switch door 2, the switch door 2 is located at the lower port of the hopper 1, the switch door 2 includes an open state and a closed state, when the switch door 2 is in the open state, the switch door 2 makes the lower port of the hopper open, and the concrete material located in the hopper 1 can be discharged from the lower port of the hopper 1, when the switch door 2 is in the closed state, the switch door 2 makes the lower port of the hopper closed, and the gate blocks the lower port of the hopper 1.
[0029] The above-mentioned switch door 2 includes two door pockets 3, which will form a barrel body with an upper opening when the two door pockets 3 are buckled. The two door pockets 3 are rotatably arranged on the support frame and the two door pockets 3 are both located below the lower port of the hopper 1. When the switch door 2 is in an open state, the two door pockets 3 are opened to expose the lower port of the hopper 1. The two door pockets 3 are axially connected to the support frame. Each door pocket 3 is provided with a docking plate, and a shaft rod passes through the docking plate. One end of the shaft rod is fixed to the support frame. A transmission gear 4 is also fixed on the docking plate, and the transmission gear 4 is penetrated by the shaft rod. When the transmission gear 4 rotates, the docking plate and the door pocket 3 are flipped and moved accordingly, and there is a transmission gap between the transmission gears 4 on the two door pockets 3.
[0030] A center frame 5 is also provided on the top of the support frame, a pressing plate 6 is provided above the center frame 5, and a vertical through hole is provided at the center of the center frame 5, a vertical shaft 7 passes through the vertical through hole, a stirring part is fixed on the vertical shaft 7, the upper end of the vertical shaft 7 is connected to a driving motor 8 through a coupling, and the driving motor 8 is fixed on the pressing plate 6. After the concrete material enters the hopper 1, the vertical shaft 7 can be rotated by the operation of the driving motor 8, so that the concrete material is stirred by the stirring part. When the switch door 2 is opened, the pressing plate 6 can be controlled to move downward, and the vertical shaft 7 and the stirring part also move downward accordingly, so that the stirring part located at the lower end of the vertical shaft 7 extends out from the lower port of the hopper 1. When the stirred material is discharged from the lower port of the hopper 1, the vertical shaft 7 drives the stirring part to stir the concrete material, which is convenient for the discharge of the concrete material and avoids the concrete material from being blocked at the lower port of the hopper 1.
[0031] A driving arm 9 is fixed near the end of the pressing plate 6, and the lower end of the driving arm 9 passes through the transmission gap, and a protruding tooth is arranged at the lower part of the driving arm 9, and the protruding tooth extends to the lower end of the driving arm 9. When the driving arm 9 is located in the transmission gap, the driving arm 9 is meshed with the transmission gears on the two door buckets 3, so when the pressing plate 6 moves downward, the switch door 2 can be controlled to open, that is, in the process of opening the switch door 2, the lower end of the stirring shaft 7 moves downward from the hopper to extend from the lower port of the hopper;
[0032] When the control plate 6 moves downward, a cross bar 10 is fixed on the driving arm 9, and a reference ring 11 is fixed on the upper end of the support frame. The center of the reference ring 11 is located on the central axis of the hopper 1. A control ring 12 is sleeved on the reference ring 11. Both the reference ring 11 and the control ring 12 are circular ring bodies. The thickness of the control ring 12 is greater than that of the reference ring 11. The thickness of the control ring 12 is designed to be at least twice that of the reference ring 11. When the switch door 2 is in a closed state, the cross bar 10 on the driving arm 9 is located below the control ring 12, and the cross bar 10 and the control ring 12 are in contact with each other. The control ring 12 is in contact with the reference ring 11, and the control ring 12 is screwed with the reference ring 11 through a thread. When the control ring 12 rotates, the control ring 12 will move vertically. When the control ring 12 moves downward, the control ring 12 applies a downward thrust to the cross bar 10. A notch is provided on the upper side of the cross bar 10, and the lower side of the control ring 12 is located in the notch, thereby controlling the driving arm 9 and the pressure plate 6 to move downward. When the switch door 2 is fully opened, the control ring 12 also reaches the lowest position that can be moved. At this time, the control ring 12 can move upward after rotating in the opposite direction;
[0033] A limit rod 13 is fixed on the pressure plate 6, and the limit rod 13 extends downward. A limit hole for passing the limit rod 13 is provided on the center frame 5, and the limit rod 13 passes through the limit hole. At this time, a compression return spring 14 located between the center frame 5 and the pressure plate 6 is sleeved on the limit rod 13. When the control ring 12 rotates clockwise, the control ring 12 moves downward. At this time, the pressure plate 6 moves downward accordingly, but since the horizontal height of the center frame 5 remains unchanged, the compression return spring 14 will be compressed. After the discharge of the hopper 1 is completed, the control ring 12 is rotated counterclockwise to move the control ring 12 upward. Under the action of the restoring force of the compression return spring 14, the pressure plate 6 will be driven to move upward, thereby causing the driving arm 9 to move upward, and the control switch door 2 is controlled to close again;
[0034] The thickness and position of the control ring 12 can also be adjusted so that the vertical movement of the pressure plate 6 can be controlled when the control ring 12 rotates. For example, the control ring 12 is located between the pressure plate 6 and the cross rib 10, and the control ring 12 is in contact with the pressure plate 6 and the cross rib 10 at the same time. When the control ring 12 moves downward, a downward thrust is applied to the cross rib 10. When the control ring 12 moves upward, an upward thrust is applied to the end of the pressure plate 6, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the driving arm 9.
[0035] In addition, the support frame in the present application includes a top frame 15 and a bottom frame 16, the bottom frame 16 is axially connected to the switch door 2, the top frame 15 and the bottom frame 16 are respectively installed at the upper port and the lower port of the hopper 1, the reference ring 11 is fixed on the top frame 15, and a bucket support arm 17 is connected between the top frame 15 and the bottom frame 16. The bucket support arm 17 is arranged around the hopper, and a support leg 18 is fixed on the bucket support arm 17. When the lower end of the support leg 18 contacts the ground, the lower port of the hopper 1 is at a certain distance from the ground. Before the switch door 2 is opened, the cart for holding concrete materials can be moved to the bottom of the hopper 1, so that the concrete can be directly discharged into the cart.
[0036] To facilitate the rotation of the control ring 12, a driving handle 19 is fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the control ring 12. The driving handle 19 extends in the radial direction of the control ring 12. By pushing the driving handle 19 to move around the central axis of the control ring 12, the control ring 12 can be driven to rotate.
[0037] In this embodiment, the stirring part includes a plurality of stirring arms 20, each stirring arm 20 extends along the radial direction of the vertical shaft, and the plurality of stirring arms 20 are arranged vertically, and the lengths of the plurality of stirring arms 20 gradually become shorter from top to bottom. When the vertical shaft 7 rotates, the concrete is stirred by the stirring arms 20;
[0038] In order to increase the discharge effect of concrete, the mixing part also includes a spiral blade 21, which is fixed at the lower end of the vertical shaft 7. When the lower end of the vertical shaft 7 extends from the lower port of the hopper, part of the spiral blade 21 is still located in the hopper. When the switch door 2 is not opened, there is a certain distance between the lower end of the spiral blade 21 and the bottom of the switch door 2. At this time, the spiral blade 21 does not affect the mixing of the concrete in the hopper. When the switch door 2 is opened, the rotation of the spiral blade 21 can promote the discharge of concrete at the lower port of the hopper.
[0039] It should be noted that the drive motor in this application can be connected to a mobile power supply or directly connected to a power socket at the construction site through a wire. The drive motor adopts an existing product and is only a device that provides torque for the opposite shafts, which can be purchased.
[0040] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
