Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feed processing auxiliary equipment, in particular to a feed hopper structure and a feed packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] Feed is generally a granular product. After processing, it is usually packaged into bags using a packaging machine and then sold. The packaging machine generally includes a main body, on which a feed hopper is provided. During packaging, the material (i.e., feed) enters from the feed hopper and then enters the main body through the feed hopper to achieve packaging. During specific operations, if a large amount of material is added to the feed hopper at one time, it is easy to cause blockage, so it needs to be unblocked. In the prior art, a vibration motor can generally be installed on the feed hopper. The vibration motor is operated to make the feed hopper vibrate, thereby loosening the blocked material and achieving the purpose of unblocking. However, in the actual operation process, the vibration may cause the material to be broken (other methods can also be used to stir the material, such as adding a stirring rod, which is driven by the motor to drive the stirring rod to stir the material, so that the blocked material is loosened, and the material may also be broken), resulting in more debris in the final packaged feed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a feed hopper structure, which solves the problem in the prior art that dredging of the feed hopper may cause material breakage and increase of debris in product packaging.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a feed hopper structure comprises:

[0005] The hopper body includes a narrow diameter section, a middle diameter section and a reduced diameter section arranged up and down;

[0006] A lifting plate, the lifting plate is located in the hopper body, and the middle of the lifting plate is higher than the edge and separated from the inner wall of the hopper body;

[0007] A driving assembly, the driving assembly includes a mounting frame located directly above the hopper body, and a first driver driving the mounting frame to reciprocate up and down, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the mounting frame and the lifting plate;

[0008] The material lifting plate moves up and down with the mounting frame and reciprocates between the reduced diameter section and the enlarged diameter section.

[0009] In the above embodiment, initially, the lifting plate is located in the reduced diameter section, and the upper end of the hopper body is larger, so that the material can be smoothly fed in. If the material is blocked, it generally occurs between the lifting plate and the middle diameter section. The material can be loosened by lifting the lifting plate upward by the first drive, thereby achieving the purpose of unblocking. In this process, the material is affected to a lesser extent than in the prior art, and is therefore less likely to break, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that unblocking of the feed hopper may cause material breakage and increase of debris in the product packaging.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a mounting bar spanning over the hopper body, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the mounting bar, the first driver includes a pair symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hopper body, the first driver includes a first telescopic end and the two first telescopic ends are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the mounting bar.

[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the mounting strip are fixedly connected with triangular blocks, the triangular blocks are fixedly connected with connecting sleeves, the end of the first telescopic end extends into the connecting sleeve, and the connecting sleeve and the end of the first telescopic end are also connected with fixing rods.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a pair of support frames fixedly arranged relative to the hopper body, and the two support frames are respectively used for fixing and installing the two first drivers.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of leakage holes are arranged on the material lifting tray.

[0014] Furthermore, a second driver is fixedly mounted on the mounting bar, the connecting rod is provided with a coaxial channel, and the second driver includes a second telescopic end and extends through the coaxial channel into the material lifting tray.

[0015] Furthermore, the second telescopic end is also fixedly connected with a push rod.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the top rod away from the second telescopic end is also fixedly connected to a cross bar perpendicular to the top rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower edge of the material lifting plate is fixedly connected with an arc ring, and the outer wall of the middle section of the arc ring is protruding outward.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a feed packaging machine is also provided, which includes a packaging machine body and the above-mentioned feeding hopper structure fixedly installed on the packaging machine body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] By arranging a lifting plate that can reciprocate up and down in the hopper body, the material can be loosened more gently when it is blocked, thereby achieving the purpose of unblocking, which can reduce the degree of material crushing and make it less likely to break. This solves the problem in the prior art that unblocking the feed hopper may cause material breakage and increase debris in product packaging. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding hopper structure, which includes:

[0029] The hopper body 1 includes a narrow diameter section 2, a middle diameter section 3 and a reduced diameter section 4 arranged in an upper and lower manner, that is, the upper end of the hopper body 1 is large, the lower end is small, and the middle is a straight cylinder;

[0030] The material lifting plate 5 is located in the hopper body 1, and the middle of the material lifting plate 5 is higher than the edge and separated from the inner wall of the hopper body 1, that is, the material lifting plate 5 is an inverted plate structure, so that the material will roll obliquely downward after falling on it. Furthermore, a plurality of leakage holes 6 are provided on the material lifting plate 5, and the hole diameter is larger than the particle diameter of the material, so that the material can pass through during the feeding process, and the gap between the material lifting plate 5 and the hopper body 1 is also for the material to pass through, thereby ensuring that the material is smoothly fed. Furthermore, the lower edge of the material lifting plate 5 is also fixedly connected with an arc ring 7, and the outer wall of the middle section of the arc ring 7 is protruding outward, so that the material between the outer edge of the material lifting plate 5 and the hopper body 1 is less likely to be broken due to collision;

[0031] The driving assembly includes a mounting frame located directly above the hopper body 1, and a first driver 8 for driving the mounting frame to reciprocate up and down. A connecting rod 9 is also fixedly connected between the mounting frame and the lifting tray 5. The first driver 8 can be a device with a telescopic structure such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, or an oil cylinder, so that the lifting tray 5 can reciprocate between the reduced diameter section 4 and the expanded diameter section 2 with the operation of the first driver 8 as the mounting frame moves up and down.

[0032] In the above embodiment, initially, the material lifting tray 5 is located in the reduced diameter section 4, and the upper end of the hopper body 1 is larger, so that the material can be smoothly fed in. If the material is blocked, it generally occurs between the material lifting tray 5 and the middle diameter section 3. The material can be loosened by lifting the material lifting tray 5 upward by the first driver 8, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging. In this process, the material is less affected than in the prior art, so it is less likely to be broken, which solves the problem in the prior art that the dredging of the feed hopper may cause the material to break and increase the debris in the product packaging;

[0033] More specifically, the bottom of the lifting plate 5 is relatively empty and relatively less prone to blockage. The blockage is more likely to occur around the lifting plate 5. When a blockage occurs, the lifting plate 5 moves upward. At this time, the distance between the outer edge of the lifting plate 5 and the bracket section 2 will gradually increase. The rising process lifts the material on it, thereby playing a similar stirring role on the surrounding materials, but lifting it upward, so it will not cause as much damage as stirring or vibration between the materials. After the gap becomes larger, the material can move downward in larger quantities and faster, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging;

[0034] In a further solution, a feed packaging machine is also provided, which includes a packaging machine body 10, and the feeding structure is installed on the packaging machine body 10. Specifically, the lower end of the reduced diameter section 4 is fixed on the packaging machine body 10, and the material falls into the packaging machine body 10 after passing through the reduced diameter section 4, and then the material is packaged.

[0035] In a further exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-3As shown, the mounting frame includes a mounting bar 11 spanning across the hopper body 1, the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting bar 11, the first driver 8 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hopper body 1, the first driver 8 includes a first telescopic end 12 and the two first telescopic ends 12 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the mounting bar 11, and two first drivers 8 are arranged to support the mounting bar 11 and drive the mounting bar 11 synchronously, so that the operation of the mounting bar 11 can be more stable; further, both ends of the mounting bar 11 are also fixedly connected with triangular blocks 13, and the triangular blocks 13 are fixedly connected with a connecting sleeve 14, the end of the first telescopic end 12 extends into the connecting sleeve 14, and the ends of the connecting sleeve 14 and the first telescopic end 12 are also connected with a fixing rod 15, so that the installation between the mounting bar 11 and the first driver 8 is realized, and at the same time, it also includes a pair of support frames 16 fixedly arranged relative to the hopper body 1, and the two support frames 16 are respectively provided for the two first drivers 8 to be fixedly installed, and the support frames 16 can be fixed on the packaging machine body 10, or directly stand on the ground.

[0036] In a further exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, a second driver 17 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting bar 11, and a coaxial channel 18 is provided on the connecting rod 9. The second driver 17 includes a second telescopic end 19 and extends through the coaxial channel 18 into the lifting tray 5. When a blockage occurs, the second driver 17 can be started first to move the second telescopic end 19 downward to loosen the material below. If it does not work, the first driver 8 can be started again. That is, sometimes the blockage occurs at the lower end of the reduced diameter section 4, and sometimes at the upper end of the reduced diameter section 4. In this way, the blockage can be dredged according to different situations. The second telescopic end 19 is also fixedly connected to a push rod 20, and the material is pushed down and lifted up by the push rod 20, so as to finally loosen the material and achieve the purpose of dredging. A cross bar 21 perpendicular to the push rod 20 can also be fixedly connected to the push rod 20, so that the material can be better loosened when moving up and down, and the degree of damage to the material is also smaller than that in the prior art.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
