Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of material transportation, and in particular relates to an automatic material distribution chute. Background Art
[0002] With the development of sintering and ironmaking technology, the improvement of process requirements has put forward certain requirements on the size of ore particles. The distribution chute is a kind of equipment used for material transportation and diversion, which is widely used in mining, construction, chemical and other industries. Its main function is to effectively distribute the feed fluid to multiple outlets or branch channels according to the characteristics of the material and production needs. The distribution chute can improve the efficiency of material transportation, optimize the production process, reduce the loss and waste of materials during the transportation process, thereby improving the economy and sustainability of the overall production.
[0003] At present, the design of the internal feeding gate of the existing material distribution chute is usually a one-way gate, which mechanically allows the incoming material to enter different branch chutes to achieve the purpose of adjusting the direction of the material. This one-way gate can only realize the movement of material flow in one direction. Therefore, it is very insufficient when two-way material guidance is required, and cannot meet the diverse material transportation needs. Since it can only be transported in one direction, the operator often needs to frequently switch manually when adjusting the material flow direction, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also reduces the overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic material distribution chute to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects raised in the above background technology.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An automatic material distribution chute includes a material distribution chute body and a multi-stage flap. The multi-stage flap is rotatably connected to the inside of the material distribution chute body through a rotating shaft. The outer wall of the material distribution chute body is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate. A partition plate is provided inside the material distribution chute body, and the partition plate is provided below the rotating shaft. A limiting component is provided on the inner wall of the material distribution chute body.
[0007] Furthermore, the multi-stage flap includes a main flap, which is arranged on a rotating shaft, and a driving slot is arranged inside the main flap, and a stepper motor is arranged in the driving slot, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the secondary flap. When the multi-stage flap is in a completely sealed state, the main flap and the secondary flap simultaneously block the material on one side, so that the material can only flow from the conveying channel on the other side, thereby achieving the effect of one-way feeding. When two-way feeding is required, the secondary flap is driven to flip by controlling the rotation of the stepper motor. At this time, the secondary flap will open a certain area so that the area no longer blocks the flow of material. Because the secondary flap only controls a part of the area, this makes the multi-stage flap as a whole no longer completely sealed, thereby realizing material conveying on both sides of the channel at the same time. Through the precise control of the stepper motor, the secondary flap can flip flexibly, thereby controlling the size of the material conveying area, and can quickly switch between one-way or two-way feeding according to needs, adapt to different production environments, reduce the time and error of manual adjustment, and improve the degree of automation.
[0008] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, which is arranged above the material distribution trough body. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, and an indicator needle plate is provided on one side of the upper part of the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. After the drive motor is energized, the connecting shaft is driven to rotate together through its rotation output. The rotation of the connecting shaft further drives the rotation of the multi-stage flap, so that the multi-stage flap can switch between different angles to block or release materials, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the material flow direction. The indicator needle plate is an auxiliary component, and its function is to display the rotation angle of the multi-stage flap in real time. When the drive motor is working, the connecting shaft rotates, driving the indicator needle plate to rotate synchronously. The operator can accurately know the current position of the multi-stage flap through the indicator needle plate, which is convenient for judging whether the multi-stage flap is in a blocked or open state, thereby adjusting the production operation in time.
[0009] Furthermore, an angle separation disk is provided above the connecting shaft to understand the current angle of the multi-stage flap in real time, thereby accurately controlling the flow of materials. The scale of the angle separation disk limits the angle range of rotation of the multi-stage flap to prevent excessive rotation or offset, ensuring that the equipment can operate smoothly within the set range and avoiding equipment failure or material accumulation problems caused by position errors.
[0010] Furthermore, the limit assembly includes two limit pads, which are symmetrically arranged on the material distribution trough body. When the multi-stage flap rotates to the extreme position, it will contact the limit pads to prevent the multi-stage flap from continuing to rotate, thereby ensuring that the multi-stage flap only works within the set angle range, preventing the multi-stage flap from rotating excessively, and avoiding uncontrolled rotation caused by misoperation or system errors.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting pads are all provided with rubber pads, which are installed on the surface of the limiting pads and serve as rubber pads for the multi-stage flaps to absorb the impact when the multi-stage flaps are rotated to the extreme position.
[0012] Furthermore, guide plates are provided on both sides of the partition plate, and the guide plates are arranged inside the material distribution trough body. The guide plates make the material flow smoother, reduce material accumulation and blockage, improve the conveying efficiency, and ensure the continuous operation of the production line. Through the reasonable guidance of the guide plates, the material can be evenly distributed to the two material conveying channels, avoiding the accumulation of materials on both sides of the partition plate and reducing the possibility of blockage.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide plate is a V-shaped guide plate. The structural design of the V-shaped guide plate can make the material flow toward the center along its V-shaped inclined surface, thereby preventing the material from scattering or dispersing during the flow. When the material slides on the guide surface, it will automatically converge at the bottom or side of the V-shaped groove, thereby ensuring that the material flows into the designated feed channel in a more concentrated manner.
[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0015] When the driving mechanism is started, the rotating shaft drives the multi-stage flap to rotate to a specific position, so that the multi-stage flap as a whole blocks the material from entering on one side, and realizes one-way transportation of the material channel on the other side. If two-way feeding is required, the multi-stage flap is controlled to flip a part of the area, so that some parts of the multi-stage flap are opened and no longer block the material on that side. The material can be transported from channels on both sides at the same time. By controlling the rotation of the flap, the one-way or two-way feeding method can be quickly switched, reducing the switching time in production. By flexibly controlling the flow direction of the material, the waiting time in the production process is reduced, thereby improving production efficiency. The rapid switching of the feeding channel reduces manual intervention and complex operation of the equipment, thereby reducing production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model is an automatic material dividing chute, comprising a material dividing chute body 1 and a multi-stage flap 2, the multi-stage flap 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the material dividing chute body 1 through a rotating shaft 3, the outer wall of the material dividing chute body 1 is provided with a driving mechanism 4 for driving the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, a partition plate 5 is provided inside the material dividing chute body 1, the partition plate 5 is provided below the rotating shaft 3, a limiting component 6 is provided on the inner wall of the material dividing chute body 1, the multi-stage flap 2 rotates through the rotating shaft 3 inside the material dividing chute body 1, the multi-stage flap 2 can control the flow direction of the material in the chute body, the driving mechanism 4 is provided on the outer wall of the material dividing chute body 1, through which the rotating shaft 3 is driven, thereby controlling the rotation of the multi-stage flap 2, the partition plate 5 is a plate body inside the material dividing chute body 1, which divides the material dividing chute body 1 into two material delivery channels, and is located below the rotating shaft 3. The limiting component 6 is used to limit the position of the multi-stage flap 2 so that it is at a specific angle. When the driving mechanism 4 is started, the rotating shaft 3 drives the multi-stage flap 2 to rotate to a specific position, so that the multi-stage flap 2 as a whole blocks the entry of materials on one side, thereby realizing one-way transportation of the material channel on the other side. If two-way feeding is required, the multi-stage flap 2 is controlled to flip a part of the area so that some parts of the multi-stage flap 2 are opened and no longer block the materials on that side. In this way, the materials can be transported from channels on both sides at the same time. By controlling the rotation of the flap, the one-way or two-way feeding method can be quickly switched, reducing the switching time in production. By flexibly controlling the flow direction of the material, the waiting time in the production process is reduced, thereby improving production efficiency. The rapid switching of the feeding channel reduces manual intervention and complex operation of the equipment, thereby reducing production costs.
[0024] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The multi-stage flap 2 includes a main flap 21, which is arranged on the rotating shaft 3. A driving groove 211 is provided inside the main flap 21, and a stepping motor 22 is provided in the driving groove 211. The output end of the stepping motor 22 is fixedly connected to the secondary flap 23 through a rotating shaft. When the multi-stage flap 2 (including the main flap 21 and the secondary flap 23) is in a completely sealed state, the main flap 21 and the secondary flap 23 simultaneously block the material on one side, so that the material can only flow from the conveying channel on the other side, achieving the effect of one-way feeding. When two-way feeding is required, the secondary flap 23 is driven to flip by controlling the rotation of the stepping motor 22. At this time, the secondary flap 23 will open a certain area so that the area no longer blocks the flow of materials. Because the secondary flap 23 only controls a part of the area, the multi-stage flap 2 is no longer completely sealed as a whole, thereby realizing simultaneous material transportation in channels on both sides. Through the precise control of the stepper motor 22, the secondary flap 23 can be flexibly flipped to control the size of the material transportation area. It can quickly switch between one-way or two-way feeding according to needs, adapt to different production environments, reduce the time and error of manual adjustment, improve the degree of automation, and can quickly switch material channels, reduce downtime, and improve overall production efficiency.
[0025] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving mechanism 4 includes a driving motor 41, which is arranged above the material distribution trough body 1. The output end of the driving motor 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 42. An indicating needle plate 43 is provided on one side of the upper part of the connecting shaft 42. The connecting shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. The indicating needle plate 43 is used to indicate the current angle or position of the multi-stage flap 2. By observing the indicating needle plate 43, the rotation state and angle of the multi-stage flap 2 can be intuitively known. After the driving motor 41 is energized, the connecting shaft 42 is driven to rotate together through its rotation output. The rotation of the connecting shaft 42 further drives the rotation of the multi-stage flap 2, so that the multi-stage flap 2 can switch between different angles, block or release materials, and realize flexible adjustment of the material flow direction. The indicator needle plate 43 is an auxiliary component, and its function is to display the rotation angle of the multi-stage flap 2 in real time. When the drive motor 41 is working, the connecting shaft 42 rotates, driving the indicator needle plate 43 to rotate synchronously. The operator can accurately know the current position of the multi-stage flap 2 through the indicator needle plate 43, which is convenient for judging whether the multi-stage flap 2 is in a blocked or open state, thereby adjusting the production operation in time.
[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The material distribution chute 1 is also provided with an angle separation disk 7, which is located above the indicator needle plate 43. The indicator needle plate 43 is used to indicate the angle on the angle separation disk 7. The angle separation disk 7 is marked with different angle scales. The indicator needle plate 43 rotates with the connecting shaft 42 and points to the scale on the angle separation disk 7. The operator can observe the position of the indicator needle plate 43 to understand the current angle of the multi-stage flap 2 in real time, thereby accurately controlling the flow of materials. The scale of the angle separation disk 7 limits the angular range of the multi-stage flap 2, preventing excessive rotation or deviation, ensuring that the equipment can operate smoothly within the set range, and avoiding equipment failure or material accumulation problems caused by incorrect positioning.
[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting assembly 6 includes two limiting pads 61, which are symmetrically arranged on the material distribution trough body 1. The limiting pads 61 serve as the end point or boundary of the rotation of the multi-stage flap 2. When the multi-stage flap 2 rotates to the extreme position, it will contact the limiting pads 61 to prevent the multi-stage flap 2 from continuing to rotate, thereby ensuring that the multi-stage flap 2 only works within the set angle range, which effectively prevents the multi-stage flap 2 from excessive rotation and avoids uncontrolled rotation caused by misoperation or system error.
[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a rubber pad 62 is provided on the limiting pad 61, and the rubber pad 62 is installed on the surface of the limiting pad 61, serving as the rubber pad 62 of the multi-stage flap 2, for absorbing the impact of the multi-stage flap 2 when it rotates to the limit position.
[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , guide plates 8 are also provided on both sides of the partition plate 5. The guide plates 8 are arranged inside the material distribution trough body 1. The guide plates 8 make the material flow smoother, reduce material accumulation and blockage, improve the transportation efficiency, and ensure the continuous operation of the production line. Through the reasonable guidance of the guide plates 8, the material can be evenly distributed to the two feeding channels, avoiding the accumulation of materials on both sides of the partition plate 5 and reducing the possibility of blockage.
[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide plate 8 is a V-shaped guide plate 8. The structure of the V-shaped guide plate 8 can make the material flow toward the center along its V-shaped inclined surface, thereby preventing the material from scattering or dispersing during the flow process. When the material slides on the guide surface, it ensures that the material flows into the designated material delivery channel in a more concentrated manner.

However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
