[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model embodiments are further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the utility model are for distinguishing two non-identical entities with the same name or non-identical parameters. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the utility model. The subsequent embodiments will not explain this one by one.
[0026] In order to improve the reliability and airtightness of the gate operation, the utility model proposes an embodiment of an airtight gate, see Figure 1 , including: a shell 10, on which a material channel 11 penetrating the front and rear surfaces of the shell is provided; a double-layer static sealing frame 20 arranged inside the shell 10, the outer sides of the double-layer static sealing frame 20 are respectively sealed and fixedly connected with the front and rear inner surfaces of the shell 10, and a wedge-shaped interlayer space is formed in the middle of the double-layer static sealing frame, and the wedge-shaped interlayer space is connected to the material channel 11; a dynamic seal 30 arranged inside the shell 10, the dynamic seal 30 is wedge-shaped, arranged in the wedge-shaped interlayer space and slidably abutting against the double-layer static sealing frame 20.
[0027] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the pneumatic gate is realized by the relatively slidable double-layer static sealing frame 20 and the dynamic seal 30. For example, the dynamic seal 30 can be driven by a traditional mechanism to insert or pull out the wedge-shaped interlayer space to achieve the blocking or opening of the material channel. Compared with the traditional hinge design, the airtight gate proposed in this embodiment operates more reliably and has good airtightness. It should be noted that Figure 1 In order to clearly show the internal structure of the housing, only the upper cover of the housing is retained, and the surrounding covers are not shown. For the complete structure of the housing 10, please refer to Figure 2 .
[0028] In one embodiment, the airtight gate of the utility model further includes: a hydraulic mechanism 40 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the housing 10 , and a hydraulic transmission rod 41 of the hydraulic mechanism 40 passes through the upper surface of the housing and is detachably connected to the dynamic seal 30 .
[0029] In an alternative embodiment, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 Auxiliary sliding rods 50 are also provided on both sides of the hydraulic transmission rod 41. The auxiliary sliding rods 50 are fixedly connected to the dynamic seal through the through-holes that penetrate the upper cover plate of the shell 10, and the auxiliary sliding rods 50 can slide relative to the above-mentioned through-holes, thereby improving the torsion resistance of the hydraulic transmission rod and avoiding deformation of the hydraulic transmission rod.
[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The left and right surfaces of the housing 10 are also provided with an inspection port 12 and a slag port 13. Specifically, the inspection port 12 is used to observe the state of the hydraulic transmission rod and the connection state with the dynamic seal 30, and to perform maintenance through the inspection port when necessary, such as reinforcing the bolt connection between the hydraulic transmission rod and the dynamic seal 30, or removing dirt on the hydraulic transmission rod. The slag port is used to remove debris entering the housing.
[0031] In one embodiment, a reinforcing member 14 is disposed at the opening of the material channel 11 to prevent the opening of the material channel 11 from being deformed.
[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The side surface of the double-layer static sealing frame 20 is a right-angle trapezoid, and is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom to form a wedge-shaped sliding surface. Specifically, when the dynamic seal 30 and the double-layer static sealing frame 20 slide relative to each other, the upper edge of the double-layer static sealing frame 20 has a certain cleaning effect on the surface of the dynamic seal 30, avoiding the formation of potassium and sodium crystals on the dynamic sealing plate 32, thereby ensuring the sealing of the gate. The cleaned potassium and sodium crystals can be cleaned up later by the slag outlet.
[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The dynamic seal 30 includes: a wedge-shaped bracket 31; and dynamic sealing plates 32 disposed on both sides of the wedge-shaped bracket 31, wherein the area of the dynamic sealing plate 32 is larger than the area of the area enclosed by the double-layer static sealing frame 20.
[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The wedge-shaped bracket 31 is provided with a plurality of through holes 33 penetrating the front and rear surfaces of the wedge-shaped bracket. Specifically, the through holes 33 of the bracket in this embodiment have the following advantages: first, it can reduce the overall weight of the dynamic seal 30; second, it can provide heat dissipation space for the friction heat generated by the dynamic seal 30 and the double-layer static seal frame 20, thereby avoiding deformation of the dynamic seal plate 32. Figure 5 .
[0035] In one embodiment, the dynamic sealing plate 32 is connected to the wedge-shaped bracket 31 through a bolt gap, and the dynamic sealing plate 32 can move slightly relative to the wedge-shaped bracket 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the dynamic sealing plate 32 and the wedge-shaped bracket 31 are connected by bolts, but not tightly connected, but with a certain movable gap. The purpose of designing the dynamic sealing plate 32 to be slightly movable relative to the wedge-shaped bracket 31 is to reserve a margin when the dynamic seal 30 is inserted into the wedge-shaped interlayer space, so that the dynamic sealing plate 32 can adapt to the wedge-shaped sliding surface of the wedge-shaped bracket 31.
[0036] In one embodiment, the airtight gate of the utility model further includes an elastic member (not shown) disposed in the through hole 33, and the elastic member is elastically abutted against the dynamic sealing plates 32 disposed on both sides of the wedge-shaped bracket 31, wherein the elastic member includes: a spring or a spring sheet. The elastic member combined with the gap setting in the above embodiment can provide a pre-tightening force when ensuring that the dynamic sealing plate 32 adaptively fits the wedge surface of the wedge-shaped bracket 31, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the gate.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the dynamic sealing plate 32 may be fastened relative to the wedge-shaped bracket 31 by bolts.
[0038] The above are exemplary embodiments of the utility model disclosure, but it should be noted that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the utility model disclosure as defined in the claims.
