[0002] In the corncob processing industry, feeding and transporting corncobs is a critical and frequently performed operation. Traditionally, corncob feeding methods have relied on conveyor belts. However, simple conveying equipment often lacks effective control mechanisms, making it difficult to ensure the stability and safety of the corncobs during transport.

[0003] Traditional loading methods are particularly prone to safety incidents when corncobs are piled high and transported at high speeds. Due to their irregular shape and rough surface, corncobs are prone to over-piling, slipping, or clogging. These issues not only affect transport efficiency but can also cause damage to equipment and personnel. Utility Model Content

[0017] The following will be combined with the 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.

[0018] See also Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a corncob feeding conveyor. The core component of the device comprises a conveyor belt 1, whose primary function is to efficiently and orderly transport the corncobs to be fed. The conveyor belt 1 is equipped with sturdy support plates 2 on both the front and rear sides. The side walls of these support plates 2 are provided with stable support bases 3, and a load plate 4 is mounted on the support bases 3.

[0019] A carefully designed L-shaped bracket 5 and slide rail 6 are mounted on the carrier plate 4. A telescopic cylinder 7 is mounted on the L-shaped bracket 5, and its driving end is hingedly connected to a connecting rod 8. A blocking bar 9 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 6. The outer end of the blocking bar 9 is hingedly connected to the connecting rod 8, while the inner end effectively blocks the corncobs being transported by the conveyor belt 1, preventing them from sliding or piling up excessively during transportation, thus avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0020] The stacking and handling of corncobs can cause safety accidents. However, this conveyor features barrier bars that effectively control the flow rate and position of corncobs, preventing accidents caused by excessive stacking or slipping. This significantly improves workplace safety and provides a safer working environment for operators.

[0021] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the conveyor belt 1 can work stably and efficiently, its power transmission end is equipped with a reduction gear 10, and the power input end of the reduction gear 10 is connected to the drive motor 11. Through the continuous power supply of the drive motor 11, the conveyor belt 1 can maintain a stable operating speed, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire transmission process.

[0022] To further enhance the stability and reliability of the device, a spherical plain bearing 12 is installed between the drive end of the telescopic cylinder 7 and the connecting rod 8. The tail end of the spherical plain bearing 12 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the telescopic cylinder 7, while the bearing end is hingedly connected to the connecting rod 8, ensuring flexible movement between the two. This makes the entire device more stable during operation and reduces downtime caused by mechanical failures.

[0023] In order to further enhance the reliability of the connection, a pin shaft 13 is inserted into the bearing end of the joint bearing 12, and the pin shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 8 through an oil-free bushing 14, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the connecting rod 8, reducing the wear caused by friction, and extending the service life of the device.

[0024] Finally, in order to ensure the smooth sliding of the blocking bar 9 on the slide rail 6, a slider 15 is set between the blocking bar 9 and the slide rail 6. The upper end of the slider 15 is fixedly connected to the blocking bar 9, and the lower end is slidably connected to the slide rail 6, thereby realizing the flexible movement of the blocking bar 9, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire conveyor, improving the conveying efficiency of corn cobs, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0025] Working Principle: When the utility model is in operation, the core power of the conveyor is provided by the drive motor 11, which is decelerated by the reduction gear box 10 and then transmitted to the conveyor belt 1. The reduction gear box 10 not only reduces the output speed of the motor, but also increases the torque, ensuring the stable operation of the conveyor belt 1.

[0026] The conveyor belt 1 is driven by a driving motor to rotate in a circular manner to continuously convey the corn cobs. The corn cobs are placed on the conveyor belt 1 and gradually move forward as the conveyor belt moves.

[0027] The front and rear sides of the conveyor belt 1 are both provided with support plates 2, which not only provide a stable support for the conveyor belt, but also ensure its smooth operation. The support bases 3 on the support plates 2 are used to install the bearing plates 4, further enhancing the stability of the structure.

[0028] An L-shaped bracket 5 and a slide rail 6 are provided on the support plate 4. A telescopic cylinder 7 is mounted on the L-shaped bracket 5. The driving end of the telescopic cylinder 7 is connected to the connecting rod 8 via a spherical bearing 12. The use of the spherical bearing allows the connecting rod 8 to rotate around a certain axis, increasing the flexibility of the system.

[0029] When the telescopic cylinder 7 is in operation, its driving end pushes or pulls back the connecting rod 8. Since the connecting rod 8 is hinged to the outer end of the blocking bar 9, the blocking bar 9 slides along the slide rail 6. The inner end of the blocking bar 9 blocks the corn cobs on the conveyor belt 1. By adjusting the position of the blocking bar 9, the flow speed and position of the corn cobs can be effectively controlled.

[0030] The arrangement of the slider 15 ensures smooth sliding of the blocking bar 9 on the slide rail 6 , thereby reducing friction and wear.

[0031] Improper handling during the stacking and transportation of corncobs may lead to safety accidents. However, the conveyor is designed with a blocking bar 9, which can effectively control the flow speed and position of corncobs, preventing safety accidents caused by excessive stacking or slipping, thereby improving workplace safety.
