DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model proposes a rotary kiln material supply device, which includes a main hopper 3, a material guide 4 and a transmission assembly. The rotary kiln includes a rotary kiln cylinder 1 and a rotary kiln tail kiln 2. The rotary kiln tail kiln 2 is used to recover the gas inside the rotary kiln cylinder 1 to avoid direct discharge and affect the surrounding environment. When the rotary kiln is working, a motor is connected through a gear to make the rotary kiln cylinder 1 rotate continuously. The material guide 4 is an inclined cylindrical structure and is rotatably arranged in the rotary kiln tail kiln 2. The downward end of the material guide 4 extends into the rotary kiln cylinder 1. The upward side wall of the material guide 4 is open, that is, the upward part of an inclined cylinder is cut off. The main hopper 3 is fixedly arranged at the top of the rotary kiln tail kiln 2. The discharge port of the main hopper 3 is located directly above the material guide 4. The material falls downward from the discharge port of the main hopper 3 and enters the interior of the material guide 4. The transmission assembly is connected to the rotary kiln cylinder 1 and the material guide member 4 through gears. The transmission assembly is used to reciprocate the material guide member 4 in response to the rotation of the rotary kiln cylinder 1. During operation, the transmission assembly causes the material guide member 4 to reciprocate through a predetermined angle, forcing the material within the material guide member 4 to move downward along the sidewalls of the material guide member 4 and toward the rotary kiln cylinder 1. As the material guide member 4 rotates, the openings in its sidewalls prevent it from moving downward, preventing material from overflowing.
[0021] like Figure 1 、 2As shown, preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first gear 8, a second gear 11, a third gear 12, an incomplete gear 16, a transmission shaft 9 and a transmission frame 10. The first gear 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotary kiln cylinder 1. The first gear 8 is close to the material guide 4. The transmission shaft 9 is parallel to the axis of the rotary kiln cylinder 1 and is arranged below the rotary kiln cylinder 1. The second gear 11 is fixedly arranged at one end of the transmission shaft 9 and meshes with the first gear 8. The incomplete gear 16 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the transmission shaft 9. The transmission frame 10 is a vertically arranged square frame. The upper and lower sides of the transmission frame 10 are both provided with first strip teeth 14. The incomplete gear 16 and the first strip teeth 14 inside the transmission frame 10 are meshed in sequence. The transmission shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the rotary kiln tail kiln 2. The third gear 12 is arranged outside the material guide 4. The third gear 12 is a bevel gear. The top surface of the transmission frame 10 is provided with a second strip-shaped tooth 15, which meshes with the third gear 12. Sliding rods 13 are horizontally provided on both sides of the transmission frame 10, and the sliding rods 13 are horizontally slidably connected to the rotary kiln tail kiln 2. When the rotary kiln cylinder 1 rotates, the first gear 8 drives the second gear 11 and the incomplete gear 16 to rotate. The incomplete gear 16 sequentially meshes with the first strip-shaped tooth 14 on the upper and lower sides, causing the transmission frame 10 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The second strip-shaped tooth 15 on the top surface of the transmission frame 10 drives the third gear 12 to rotate reciprocatingly, thereby causing the material guide 4 to reciprocate at a certain angle inside the rotary kiln cylinder 1.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotary kiln tail chamber 2 is preferably equipped with a plurality of support wheels 5 symmetrically arranged relative to a vertical plane passing through the axis of the material guide member 4. The support wheels 5 are in rolling contact with the bottom of the material guide member 4. A support frame is provided within the rotary kiln tail chamber 2, and the support frame is rotatably connected to the support wheels 5. As the rotary kiln shell 1 rotates, the support wheels 5 support the bottom of the rotary kiln shell 1, preventing the rotary kiln shell 1 from moving left or right. The support wheels 5 are arranged along the axis of the material guide member 4.
[0023] like Figure 1 、 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, a retaining ring 7 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the material guide 4. This retaining ring 7 is an arcuate structure, with a portion removed at the opening of the material guide 4. Furthermore, a retaining groove 6 is fixedly disposed below the material guide 4. This retaining groove 6 is an upwardly facing arcuate structure, and the retaining ring 7 fits snugly within the retaining groove 6. When the material guide 4 is driven back and forth by the transmission assembly, the retaining ring 7 also reciprocates within the retaining groove 6, which prevents the material guide 4 from axial movement.
[0024] Preferably, the material guide 4 extends to one side of the rotary kiln cylinder 1 and is spaced apart at the end of the rotary kiln cylinder 1 to prevent material from overflowing from the end of the rotary kiln cylinder 1. A space is provided between the material guide 4 and the inner wall of the rotary kiln cylinder 1 to reduce noise generated by friction.
[0025] Preferably, the discharge port of the main hopper 3 is located in the middle of the axial position of the material guide member 4 to prevent material from overflowing.
[0026] Preferably, the sliding rod 13 is in the shape of a square column, and a matching square hole is provided on the rotary kiln tail kiln 2 to prevent the sliding rod 13 from rotating radially and affecting the meshing of the transmission frame 10 and the third gear 12 and the incomplete gear 16.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
