[0002] In industrial production, the hopper, as an important device for material transportation and storage, is widely used in various production lines. The main function of the hopper is to receive and distribute materials to ensure the continuity and stability of the production process.
[0003] In the use process of the existing hopper design, especially when dealing with sticky or caking materials, the problem of material blockage often occurs. The accumulation and adhesion of materials inside the hopper not only affect the normal flow of materials, but also may lead to a decrease in production efficiency and even cause the production line to stop. In addition, the blockage of materials will increase the pressure inside the hopper, posing a threat to the stability and safety of the hopper structure. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a hopper with a dredging device to solve the problem of hopper dredging in the prior art.
[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a hopper with a dredging device, including a hopper. Vibration plates are fixedly installed on both inner walls of the hopper. Vibrators are arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the hopper. The output end of the vibrator acts on the vibration plate. One end of the vibration plate is fixedly installed with a bolt, and one end of the bolt is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hopper. An air outlet groove is opened on the inner wall of the hopper. An air cannon is fixedly connected to a position below the middle of the outer wall of the hopper. The output end of the air cannon is aligned and communicated with the uppermost end port of the air outlet groove.
[0006] Optionally, the vibrating end of the vibrator is fixedly connected with a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vibration plate.
[0007] Optionally, an air outlet hole is opened at the output end of the air cannon. One end of the air outlet hole is aligned and communicated with the port of the air outlet groove. A plurality of sub-insertion slots are opened on the side wall of the air outlet groove.
[0008] Optionally, a second through hole is opened at a position above one end of the vibration plate. A rubber ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second through hole. The bolt is inserted through the inner wall of the rubber ring.

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the embodiments of the present utility model have the following advantages:
[0013] 1. In the present utility model, an electromagnetic vibrator is adopted to ensure that a relatively high vibration frequency can still be output to the vibrating plate through the connecting rod. When blockage occurs in the hopper, the vibrating plate can drive a large range of materials to vibrate to dredge the blocked materials. When sticky materials are blocked at the bottom, the air outlet of the air cannon is connected to the air outlet groove, and highly concentrated air impact can be applied to the blocked materials to achieve the effect of cleaning and dredging.
[0014] 2. For the air cannon of the present utility model, the design of a pulse air cannon is adopted, which can quickly compress air to generate continuous impact air.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model will be explained and described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. However, the following embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model will be specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] For ease of understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , an embodiment of the hopper dredging provided by the present utility model includes a hopper 1. Vibration plates 5 are fixedly installed on the inner walls on both sides of the hopper 1. Vibrators 2 are arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the hopper 1. The output end of the vibrator 2 acts on the vibration plate 5. One end of the vibration plate 5 is fixedly installed with a bolt 4, and one end of the bolt 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hopper 1. An air outlet groove 8 is formed in the inner wall of the hopper 1. An air cannon 3 is fixedly connected to a position below the middle of the outer wall of the hopper 1. The output end of the air cannon 3 is aligned and communicated with the uppermost port of the air outlet groove 8.
[0028] It should be noted that the vibrator 2 uses electromagnetic vibration. A higher frequency helps to better dredge the materials. When the feeding is too fast, blockages such as bridging and wall hanging formed on the inner wall of the hopper 1 are dredged by vibrating the materials at a high frequency. At the same time, the air cannon 3 uses a pulse air cannon. The air outlet hole 7 is aligned and connected with the air outlet groove 8, and can highly concentrate the impact on the blocked materials. And the split slot 10 further expands the range of the shock wave, so as to clean and dredge the blocked materials in a large range.
[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, fixed frames 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the hopper 1. The vibrator 2 is fixedly installed on the fixed frames 203. A first through hole 6 is formed in the inner wall of the hopper 1. A connecting rod 202 is inserted through the first through hole 6. The vibrating end of the vibrator 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 202. The other end of the connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vibration plate 5.
[0030] It should be noted that the output end of the connecting rod 202 inserted through the first through hole 6 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the vibration plate 5. The vibrator 2 is fixed on the outer wall of the hopper 1 through the fixed frame 203 and can drive the vibration plate 5 to vibrate more stably during vibration output, so that the vibration can contact the blocked materials in a large range.
[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, a second through hole 9 is provided at a position slightly above one end of the vibrating plate 5. A rubber ring 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second through hole 9, and the bolt 4 is inserted through the inner wall of the rubber ring 401.
[0032] It should be noted that the rubber ring 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second through hole 9, and the bolt 4 is inserted through the inner wall of the rubber ring 401, which can limit the vibrating plate 5 without reducing its vibration effect. At the same time, the rubber ring 401 provides real-time protection for the vibrating plate 5 during vibration, preventing damage between the vibrating plate 5 and the bolt 4 during vibration.
[0033] Embodiment 2
[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, an electric switch 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the air cannon 3. An air outlet valve 302 is fixedly installed at one end of the air cannon 3. An air outlet hole 7 is provided at the output end of the air cannon 3. One end of the air outlet hole 7 is aligned and communicated with the port of the air outlet groove 8. A plurality of sub-insertion slots 10 are provided on the side wall of the air outlet groove 8.
[0035] It should be noted that when a blockage occurs, the air cannon 3 is opened through the electric switch 301, and at this time the air outlet valve 302 is opened. The air cannon 3 generates an air shock wave that impacts along the aligned air outlet groove 8, making the air impact force more concentrated, and clearing and dredging the blocked material with high intensity. Moreover, the air shock wave can expand the impact range through the sub-insertion slots 10, and thus better wash and remove the adhered material from the inner wall of the hopper 1.
[0036] Working principle: The hopper 1 integrates two dredging mechanisms, namely the vibrator 2 and the air cannon 3, to ensure the smooth flow of materials and prevent blockages. When a blockage occurs on the inner wall of the hopper 1, the vibrator 2 releases high-frequency vibrations, which drive the vibrating plate 5 to vibrate through the connecting rod 202 to dredge the materials adsorbed on the inner wall. When sticky materials are blocked at the bottom, the electric switch 301 is turned on to start the air cannon 3, which triggers the release of compressed air to generate a continuous shock wave. The shock wave is highly concentrated through the alignment connection of the air outlet hole 7 and the air outlet groove 8 to dredge and clean the materials, and the impact range on the materials is further expanded through the sub-insertion slots 10 to quickly dredge the blocked materials.
[0037] The above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
