Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material conveying, and in particular to a material guide chute. Background Art
[0002] Construction sites like mining and gravel pits often require large quantities of sand, gravel, and other materials to be transported. This material transportation process involves numerous material docking operations, such as the docking of chutes with belt conveyors and between chutes. During material flow, the material drop-off points and areas from one interface to another must be controlled within specific ranges to ensure the proper operation of conveyor structures. For belt conveyors, the center of gravity of the material should be aligned with the center of the belt to prevent deviation. Long-term deviation can cause serious accidents such as material scattering, belt edge wear and tear, and even belt breakage. Proper drop-off points ensure smoother material flow and more wear-resistant structural components.
[0003] Currently, diagonal braces are used as supporting structures in sand and gravel production lines. However, most existing diagonal bracing devices are non-standard in design, with poor versatility and difficulty in adapting to different installation requirements and angles. Furthermore, the need to prepare a variety of components with different specifications and single uses to accommodate the non-standard design of the steel structure itself directly leads to increased costs and increased assembly difficulty.

[0028] In the material guide chute of this embodiment, the flap assembly is rotatably arranged, and the angle of the flap assembly can be adjusted as needed, so that the material distribution direction and material distribution point are significantly changed to meet the actual material distribution area and material flow state, so that the belt conveyor and other mechanisms can work in a better state, so that the material guide chute can adapt to various material distribution needs; and by making the rotation axis of the flap assembly a certain distance away from the side wall of the chute body, the rotation axis of the flap assembly is located in the middle position of the chute body, so that the flap assembly can be adjusted within a better angle range.
[0029] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 115 is defined on the chute body 11 , and an end portion of the flap assembly 13 is rotatably disposed in the sliding groove 115 .
[0030] Specifically, the end of the flap assembly 13 is movable in the chute 115 to adjust the relative position of the flap assembly 13 relative to the rotation axis of the chute body 11 and the side wall 111 .
[0031] Specifically, the chute 115 includes a first section and a second section. The first section is perpendicular to the height direction of the chute body 11. One end of the second section is connected to the first section, and the other end extends to the edge of the chute body 11.

In other embodiments, shaft holes can also be provided on each of the first and second flaps 131, 133, and the first and second flaps 131, 133 can be mounted on rotating shafts provided on the chute body 11.
[0034] Specifically, the rotation axis of the flap assembly 13 relative to the chute body 11 coincides with the rotation axis of the first flap 131 relative to the second flap 133. It is understood that the rotation axis of the flap assembly 13 relative to the chute body 11 and the rotation axis of the first flap 131 relative to the second flap 133 may also be parallel and staggered.
[0035] Specifically, the included angle between the first flap 131 and the second flap 133 can be adjusted between 0° and 180°.
[0036] Specifically, the first flap 131 and the second flap 133 have the same width, that is, the flap assembly 13 is symmetrical along the rotation axis relative to the chute body 11. Of course, the widths of the first flap 131 and the second flap 133 may also be different.
[0037] Specifically, the first flip plate 131 and the second flip plate 133 are both rectangular, and both ends of the first flip plate 131 and the second flip plate 133 are aligned, so that the flip plate assembly 13 forms a rectangular structure.
[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The first flap 131 and / or the second flap 133 are provided with openings. The flap assembly 13 also includes an auxiliary plate 135, which can be connected to the first flap 131 and / or the second flap 133 through the openings.
