Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chain feeders, and particularly relates to a chain feeder with a protection structure. Background Technique

[0002] A chain feeder, also known as a chain conveyor, is a material conveying device widely used in heavy industrial fields such as mines, steel, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, and building materials. The working principle of the chain feeder is relatively simple. Materials enter the conveyor trough from a hopper or a silo. Driven by chains and sprockets, the materials are continuously pushed forward and finally discharged from the discharge port. During operation, the rotational speed of the driving device can be adjusted as needed to change the feeding amount.

[0003] During the operation of the chain feeder, certain gaps will inevitably form at the continuous rotation and connection of its chain plates. Although these gaps are designed for the need of mechanical operation, if not properly managed and protected, they may become potential safety hazards. Specifically, when workers are operating or maintaining near the equipment, if they are negligent and their body parts accidentally come into contact with or approach these chain plate gaps, they may be clamped by the suddenly rotating chain plates, resulting in pinching accidents. Similarly, if there are foreign objects that have not been cleaned up in time at the site, such as tools, part fragments, etc., they may also be inadvertently caught by the chain plate gaps and move along with them, thereby causing damage to the equipment or posing a threat to the surrounding personnel. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a chain feeder with a protection structure, aiming to solve the problem that during the operation of the chain feeder, certain gaps will inevitably form at the continuous rotation and connection of its chain plates. Although these gaps are designed for the need of mechanical operation, if not properly managed and protected, they may become potential safety hazards. Specifically, when workers are operating or maintaining near the equipment, if they are negligent and their body parts accidentally come into contact with or approach these chain plate gaps, they may be clamped by the suddenly rotating chain plates, resulting in pinching accidents. Similarly, if there are foreign objects that have not been cleaned up in time at the site, such as tools, part fragments, etc., they may also be inadvertently caught by the chain plate gaps and move along with them, thereby causing damage to the equipment or posing a threat to the surrounding personnel.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A chain feeder with a protection structure, including a chain feeder, a power machine box is installed at the bottom of one end of the chain feeder, and a first protection plate is installed on one side of the first chain plate at the head end of the chain feeder;

On both sides of the tail of the chain feeder, a set of rotating pedestals are respectively installed. On the tail end face of the chain feeder, two side blocks are symmetrically installed.

[0007] In order to install the first protective plate and the second protective plate at both ends of the chain feeder, as an optimization of the chain feeder with a protective structure of the present utility model, threaded holes are provided on the surface frame of the chain feeder near the head end, and clamping grooves are provided on the inner wall of the surface frame of the chain feeder near the tail.

[0008] In order to install the docking plate on the chain feeder, as an optimization of the chain feeder with a protective structure of the present utility model, a docking plate is welded on one side of the upper end of the first protective plate. One first through hole is respectively provided at both ends of the docking plate. The distance between the two first through holes is adapted to the distance between the two clamping grooves. The docking plate is installed on the chain feeder by docking the bolts through the first through holes with the threaded holes corresponding to the clamping grooves.

[0009] In order to enable the mounting plate to be installed on the chain feeder, as an optimization of the chain feeder with a protective structure of the present utility model, two second through holes are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the second protective plate. One clamping block is fixedly installed at each end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is installed on the chain feeder by inserting the clamping blocks at both ends into the corresponding clamping grooves.

[0010] In order to form a firm connection structure between the second protective plate and the chain feeder, as an optimization of the chain feeder with a protective structure of the present utility model, a rotating arm is movably installed on the smooth rod in the U-shaped opening of the rotating pedestal. The other end of the rotating arm is penetrated and installed with a docking bolt. A cushion block made of hard rubber is installed on one side of the side block. The docking bolt penetrates through the rotating arm and is threadedly docked with the second through hole. The other end of the cushion block is in contact with the inner wall of the second protective plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0012] The first protective plate is installed at the head end of the chain feeder through the docking plate, so that the gap between the chain plates at the rotating part of the head end chain plate of the chain feeder will be isolated from the outside by the first protective plate. In addition, the second protective plate is installed at the tail of the chain feeder through the mounting plate, and then the rotating pedestal is used to reinforce the second protective plate. In this way, the second protective plate can isolate the gap between the chain plates at the rotating part of the tail chain plate of the chain feeder from the outside. In summary, during use, the gap between the chain plates at the rotating part of the chain feeder can be effectively isolated through this technical solution, thereby preventing damage to materials or personnel caused by foreign objects getting stuck in the chain plate gap.

A group of rotating foot seats 6 are respectively installed on both sides of the tail of the chain feeder 1, and two side blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on the end face of the tail of the chain feeder 1.

[0030] Preferably: threaded holes 102 are provided on the surface frame of the chain feeder 1 near the head end, and a clamping groove 101 is provided on the inner wall of the surface frame of the chain feeder 1 near the tail. One side of the upper end of the first protective plate 3 is welded with a docking plate 301, and a first through hole 302 is provided at each end of the docking plate 301. Two second through holes 401 are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the second protective plate 4, and a clamping block 501 is fixedly installed at each end of the mounting plate 5. The end of the mounting plate 5 away from the second protective plate 4 is an arc structure, and this end of the mounting plate 5 is the first block at the chain plate rotation part, and the top of the mounting plate 5 is at the same height as the top of the previous block of the first block at the chain plate rotation part.

[0031] The mounting plate 5 is installed on the chain feeder 1 by inserting the clamping blocks 501 at both ends into the corresponding clamping grooves 101.

[0032] During specific use, the docking plate 301 is installed on the chain feeder 1, and then the position of the docking plate 301 is adjusted so that the two first through holes 302 on the docking plate 301 are aligned with the corresponding threaded holes 102. At this time, the first protective plate 3 on one side of the docking plate 301 should completely wrap the chain plate at the head end rotation part of the chain feeder 1. Then, the docking plate 301 is locked on the chain feeder 1 through bolts, and thus the chain plate rotation area can be isolated from the outside in this way.

[0033] Preferably: the distance between the two first through holes 302 is adapted to the distance between the two clamping grooves 101, and the docking plate 301 is installed on the chain feeder 1 through the threaded connection between the bolts passing through the first through holes 302 and the corresponding threaded holes 102.

The other end of the rotating arm 601 is penetrated with a docking bolt 602. A cushion block 701 made of hard rubber is installed on one side of the side block 7. The docking bolt 602 passes through the rotating arm 601 and is threadedly connected with the second through hole 401, and the other end of the cushion block 701 is in contact with the inner wall of the second protective plate 4.

[0035] During specific use, the second protective plate 4 is installed behind the chain feeder 1. At this time, the rotating arm 601 is rotated towards the second protective plate 4, and then the docking bolt 602 is tightened. One end of the docking bolt 602 will be docked with the second through hole 401, and at this time, one end of the second protective plate 4 will also be further pressed against the cushion block 701. In this way, the second protective plate 4 can be firmly installed on the chain feeder 1. During actual use, the second protective plate 4 will isolate the chain plates at the tail of the chain feeder 1, thereby preventing foreign objects or personnel from being pinched by the gaps between the chain plates.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
