Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying machinery, in particular to a ring chain bucket elevator. Background Art

[0002] Chain bucket elevator is a kind of material conveying equipment commonly used for vertical or nearly vertical conveying of granular and block materials. It consists of main transmission parts, supporting wheels, chains, buckets, etc. The chain is ring-shaped with a series of buckets hanging on it. These buckets can circulate along the up and down direction of the elevator when the chain is running. During operation, the material is loaded through the bucket and moves up or down with the chain to complete the material conveying process.

[0003] During the material switching process of the elevator, due to the different characteristics of different materials, residual materials are likely to remain inside and outside the hopper, and old materials are likely to be mixed into the new materials during the lifting process, resulting in material contamination. This poses a practical problem. In addition, materials that do not fall into the hopper during the lifting process are likely to accumulate inside the elevator, affecting the normal operation of the elevator and resulting in low functionality.

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Such as Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, a loop chain bucket elevator includes a housing 1. A feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3 are respectively arranged at the front part near the bottom and the rear part near the top of the housing 1. An outer platform 4 is fixedly installed at the front part near the top of the housing 1. Rotating rollers 5 are rotatably installed near the top and bottom inside the housing 1. A loop chain 6 is arranged outside the rotating rollers 5. A number of hoppers 7 are fixedly installed outside the loop chain 6. A cleaning structure 8 is arranged near the bottom inside the housing 1;

[0026] The cleaning structure 8 includes a convex block 10 and a rotating block 11. The convex block 10 is fixedly installed at the position near the bottom on the outside of one side of the housing 1. The rotating block 11 is rotatably installed inside the convex block 10. A round rod 12 is slidably installed through the inside of the rotating block 11. A number of limiting strips 13 are fixedly installed at the position near one end outside the round rod 12. A number of limiting grooves 14 are formed inside the rotating block 11, and the limiting grooves 14 are adaptively matched with the limiting strips 13. A brush 16 is fixedly installed at the position near the middle outside the round rod 12. An air nozzle 17 is fixedly installed at the position near the bottom of the feed inlet 2 at the front part of the housing 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 15 is fixedly installed at the position in front of the limiting strips 13 on the outside of the round rod 12, and the limiting plate 15 is circular.

[0028] Through the limiting plate 15, due to the limiting effect of the limiting plate 15, it can be ensured that when pulling the round rod 12, the limiting strips 13 outside the round rod 12 are located inside the limiting grooves 14.

[0029] In this embodiment, a transmission belt is sleeved on the outside of one end of the rotating roller 5 near the top of the housing 1 and the outside of one end of the rotating block 11. A motor is fixedly installed on the top of the outer platform 4, and an output belt is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor and the rotating roller 5 near the top of the housing 1.

[0030] Through the transmission of the output belt, the loop chain 6 can be driven to rotate by the motor, thereby driving the hopper 7 to be lifted. Through the transmission of the transmission belt, the rotating block 11 can be driven to rotate by the motor.

[0031] In this embodiment, an air inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the rear of the air nozzle 17, and the air nozzle 17 is adaptively matched with the hopper 7.

[0032] After completing the lifting and transportation of a batch of materials, the air nozzle 17 can be driven through the air inlet pipe to blow the hoppers 7 on the loop chain 6 to prevent materials from remaining inside the hoppers 7.

[0033] In this embodiment, a recycling structure 9 is arranged near the bottom inside the housing 1. The recycling structure 9 includes a sliding plate 18 and a vertical plate 19. The sliding plate 18 is slidably installed near the bottom of the housing 1. Two vertical plates 19 are fixedly installed near one end of the top of the sliding plate 18. Two baffles 20 are fixedly installed on the outer part of the round rod 12. Two connecting blocks 21 are symmetrically and fixedly installed near the bottom on one side of the housing 1. An L-shaped rod 22 is slidably installed through the top of the connecting block 21. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed at the common top of the two L-shaped rods 22. A baffle plate 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 23. A through groove 25 is formed near the other end of the sliding plate 18 on one side of the housing 1, and the baffle plate 24 is adaptively matched with the through groove 25. Positioning blocks 26 are fixedly installed at the front and rear positions of the other end of the sliding plate 18. An inclined groove 27 is formed in the outer part of the positioning block 26, and the inclined groove 27 is adaptively matched with the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod 22.

[0034] By sliding the sliding plate 18, the inclined groove 27 on the positioning block 26 drives the L-shaped rod 22 to rise, so that the baffle plate 24 is in an open state, enabling the materials dropped during the lifting process of the elevator to be limited by the sliding plate 18 and pass through the through groove 25, facilitating recycling.

[0035] In this embodiment, the middle position of the sliding plate 18 is inclined, and the brush 16 is adaptively matched with the hopper 7.

[0036] The inclined sliding plate 18 can facilitate the logistics to roll out of the interior of the housing 1 through the through groove 25.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rear part of one baffle 20 is attached to the front part of one vertical plate 19, and the front part of the other baffle 20 is attached to the rear part of the other vertical plate 19.

[0038] It should be noted that the present utility model is a ring chain bucket elevator. When in use, an operator feeds the materials to be lifted into the feed inlet 2. Under the driving action of the output belt, the ring chain 6 inside the housing 1 starts to rotate, driving the hopper 7 to rise. When the hopper 7 passes through the feed inlet 2, it will carry the logistics and continuously rise, and finally leave through the discharge outlet 3.

[0039] Before turning on the motor, the operator pushes the round rod 12, causing the limiting strip 13 outside the round rod 12 to disengage from the limiting groove 14 inside the rotating block 11. At this time, under the limiting action of the baffle 20, the other baffle 20 will push the vertical plate 19, causing the sliding plate 18 to slide synchronously. And through the positioning block 26 fixedly installed at the other end of the sliding plate 18, the L-shaped rod 22 is driven to rise through the inclined slot 27, so as to drive the material baffle 24 to open through the connecting plate 23. At this time, the operator turns on the motor to lift the material at the feeding port 2. The material falling inside the housing 1 will land on the sliding plate 18 and leave the inside of the housing 1 through the through groove 25, which is convenient for the operator to recycle the material that has not been lifted;

[0040] When a batch of materials has been lifted and different materials need to be replaced, the operator first turns off the motor and pulls the round rod 12, causing the limiting strip 13 outside the round rod 12 to insert into the inside of the limiting groove 14. At this time, under the push of one of the baffles 20, one of the vertical plates 19 will be driven, causing the sliding plate 18 to reset. At this time, under the action of the inclined slot 27, the bottom of the material baffle 24 will contact the sliding plate 18, making the through groove 25 in a closed state. Turn on the motor and connect the air inlet pipe of the air nozzle 17 to the air pump. Under the limiting action of the limiting strip 13, the rotating block 11 will be driven to rotate through the transmission belt, and the round rod 12 will be driven to rotate through the rotating block 11, so as to brush the outside of the hopper 7 through the brush 16 and purge the inside of the hopper 7 through the air nozzle 17, sweeping the residual material and piling it up on the sliding plate 18 to prevent contamination of the new material to be lifted;

[0041] After a period of brushing and purging, the operator turns off the motor and pushes the round rod 12, causing the limiting strip 13 to disengage from the inside of the limiting groove 14. Through the opened through groove 25, the material on the sliding plate 18 is cleaned, and the lifting work of the next batch of materials is started.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
