Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of industrial production and material handling, and particularly relates to a lightweight material conveying and feeding mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of modern industrial production and material handling, the conveying and feeding of lightweight materials represent a key part of production efficiency and process automation. With the acceleration of production speed and the expansion of production scale, traditional material conveying methods can no longer meet the needs of modern industry, mainly because they encounter a series of challenges and limitations. These traditional methods usually face the problem of low conveying efficiency, because manual operation or outdated technology limits the speed and stability of material flow. In addition, materials are prone to clogging during conveying, especially when dealing with lightweight materials with smaller particles or higher viscosity. Often, the conveying is interrupted due to material accumulation, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the frequency of downtime and maintenance. Many traditional conveying mechanisms are complex in design, including numerous vulnerable parts and power components, which makes the equipment difficult to maintain and repair. At the same time, space utilization is also a problem. Old conveying equipment often occupies a large amount of space and is difficult to be quickly adjusted or reconfigured according to changes in the production site. More importantly, for variable production requirements, such as changes in the position of the discharge port or adjustments to the production scale in response to market needs, the adaptability of the existing technology is insufficient, which limits the flexibility and competitiveness of enterprises in the rapidly changing market environment.
[0003] To overcome these challenges, the industry urgently needs a feeding mechanism that can convey lightweight materials efficiently, continuously, and without obstruction. Such a mechanism must have an automatic dredging function to prevent materials from clogging during conveying, and at the same time have a compact and easy-to-maintain design, which can reduce downtime and improve production efficiency. Moreover, this feeding mechanism should be able to flexibly adapt to different production configuration requirements, including multiple discharge points and production lines of different scales, and be able to accommodate changes in the production environment, such as the movement of equipment or the redesign of the discharge port. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To overcome the above defects and improve production efficiency, a lightweight material conveying and feeding mechanism with a more reasonable structure, more convenient operation, simpler maintenance, capable of effectively preventing material clogging and accurately controlling material conveying is provided. The mechanism realizes the continuous and stable conveying of materials through the cooperation of a spiral feeder and a material conveying unit, and avoids material clogging in the feeder through a dredging unit. At the same time, multiple discharge units can be flexibly configured according to production needs, greatly improving the applicability and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the number of discharging units can be multiple. The specific number can be set according to production requirements. When multiple discharging units are set, the length of the screw feeder needs to be adjusted to be consistent with the distance for the lightweight material to be conveyed from the material conveying unit to the discharging unit. The two discharging units are connected through a material conveying channel. The discharging unit farthest from the material conveying unit is fixedly connected to the gland.
[0012] Preferably, when multiple discharging units are set for feeding, they are turned on in sequence from near to far. The discharging unit closest to the material conveying unit is turned on first to open the discharging valve, and the discharging valve is closed after the feeding of this discharging unit is completed, so that the light material can be sent to the next discharging unit through this discharging unit.
