Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material transportation, in particular to a three-way chute with adjustable material distribution ratio. Background Art

[0002] The traditional three-way chute does not have the ability to feed two downstream channels at the same time, and can only open one of the two channels and close the other; the opening and closing of the two channels are controlled by rotating the flap inside the three-way chute, and the gap between the flap and the shell is easily stuck by the material, resulting in difficulty in flipping and malfunction of the equipment; at the same time, the existing three-way chute is mostly driven by electric or hydraulic push rods, which are prone to oil leakage of the push rod or insufficient thrust of the material distribution device, resulting in the flap being unable to be driven normally, seriously affecting the production progress. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a three-way chute with an adjustable material distribution ratio. By using a translational material distribution cone, material can be fed to two downstream channels at the same time. The feeding ratio is adjustable and the equipment structure is simple and easy to maintain.

[0004] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A three-way chute with adjustable material distribution ratio, comprising a three-way chute body and a translational material distribution cone arranged inside the chute.

[0006] The three-way chute body includes an inlet at the top, a first outlet at the left side of the lower part, and a second outlet at the right side of the lower part. A positioning port is provided on the three-way chute body.

[0007] The translatory material distribution cone is generally A-shaped and is provided with a slider extending from a positioning opening to the outside of the three-way chute body. The translatory material distribution cone can completely close the first outlet or the second outlet inside the three-way chute body.

[0008] A driving mechanism for driving the translational material distribution cone to move in the horizontal direction is provided on the outer wall of the three-way chute body. The driving mechanism includes a driving wheel, a chain and a driven wheel connected in sequence. The driven wheel is provided with a screw, and the screw passes through the first screw support provided on the three-way chute body and the second screw support provided on the slider.

[0009] The three-way chute provided by the utility model can realize simultaneous feeding to two downstream channels with an adjustable feeding ratio by using a translational material dividing cone. The driving mechanisms are all located on the relatively outer sides of the three-way chute body and will not be affected by the material and thus unable to drive normally, thereby effectively ensuring production progress.

[0010] Preferably, two driven wheels and two screws are provided. The translation type distribution cone is driven from the front and rear sides at the same time to ensure the smooth movement of the translation type distribution cone.

[0011] Preferably, the translational material dividing cone includes a left diverter plate, a right diverter plate and a connecting plate. The left diverter plate and the right diverter plate are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The connecting plate is arranged horizontally and the two ends of the connecting plate are respectively fixed on the side of the left diverter plate and the right diverter plate facing the symmetry plane. Sliders are fixed in front and behind the connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the slider and the translational distribution cone are connected in a detachable manner, which facilitates the removal of the slider from the translational distribution cone during use for maintenance.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixed inside the positioning opening. By providing the sealing ring, the material inside the three-way chute body is effectively protected from overflowing through the positioning opening, thereby reducing the impact on the environment during material transportation.

[0014] Preferably, the driving wheel is driven by a motor or a manual wheel; more preferably, the driving wheel is driven by a manual wheel. When the driving wheel is driven by a motor, the motor connected to the driving wheel is affected by the vibration generated by the material flow. Although remote control is possible, the motor life is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the driving wheel is more preferably driven by a manual wheel that is manually rotated by an operator.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0016] This utility model provides a three-way chute with adjustable material distribution ratio. By using a translational material distribution cone, it can simultaneously feed material to two downstream channels, and the feeding ratio is adjustable. The driving mechanism is located on the relatively outer side of the three-way chute body, so it will not be affected by the material and cause abnormal driving, effectively ensuring production progress. The overall structure of the device is simple, and it is easy to maintain during use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a three-way chute with adjustable material distribution ratio includes a three-way chute body 1 and a translational material distribution cone 2 arranged inside the three-way chute body.

[0029] The three-way chute body 1 includes an inlet 101 at the top, a first outlet 102 at the lower left, and a second outlet 103 at the lower right. A positioning opening 11 is provided on the three-way chute body 1.

[0030] The translational material dividing cone 2 is A-shaped as a whole, and is provided with a slider 21 extending from the positioning port 11 to the outside of the three-way chute body 1. The translational material dividing cone 2 can completely close the first outlet 102 or the second outlet 103 inside the three-way chute body 1; the translational material dividing cone 2 includes a left diverter plate, a right diverter plate and a connecting plate, the left diverter plate and the right diverter plate are arranged in mirror symmetry, the connecting plate is arranged horizontally and the two ends of the connecting plate are respectively fixed to the side of the left diverter plate and the right diverter plate facing the symmetry plane, and sliders 21 are fixed to the front and rear of the connecting plate; the connection method of the slider 21 and the translational material dividing cone 2 is a detachable connection;

[0031] A drive mechanism for driving the translatory material distribution cone 2 in the horizontal direction is provided on the outer wall of the three-way chute body 1. The drive mechanism includes a driving wheel 4, a chain 6, and a driven wheel 5 connected in sequence. The driven wheel 5 is provided with a screw 3. There are two driven wheels 5 and two screws 3. The screws 3 extend through a first screw support 12 provided on the three-way chute body 1 and a second screw support 22 provided on the slider 21. In this embodiment, the driving wheel 4 is driven by an operator using a manual wheel 7 connected to the driving wheel 4.

[0032] When used specifically, Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, when the operator rotates the manual wheel 7, the driven wheel 5 drives the screw to rotate, and the translational distribution cone 2 moves left and right in the horizontal direction inside the three-way chute body 1, and can completely close the first outlet 102 from the leftmost side. Figure 5 As shown, the opening of the first outlet 102 is gradually increased and the opening of the second outlet 103 is gradually reduced until it finally moves to the rightmost side, that is, the second outlet 103 is completely closed (not shown in the figure). During this period, the material distribution ratio of the first outlet 102 and the second outlet 103 can be adjusted and controlled as needed.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the driving wheel 4 is driven by a motor, and the motor is fixed to the outer wall of the three-way chute body 1 on one side of the driving wheel 4. Other structural features are the same as those of embodiment 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, by using a motor to drive the driving wheel 4, the characteristics of the motor can be utilized to achieve remote control of the material distribution ratio without the need for on-site operator control. However, since the material will cause the three-way chute body 1 to vibrate when flowing through the three-way chute body 1, which will in turn have a certain impact on the motor, it will increase the maintenance cost during operation. In actual use, those skilled in the art can choose manual drive or remote control drive according to the desired use scenario.
