Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bucket elevators, and particularly relates to a feeding device for a bucket elevator. Background Art

[0002] Bucket elevator is a continuous conveying machine that uses a series of buckets evenly fixed on an endless traction member to lift materials vertically. Bucket elevator uses a series of buckets fixed on a traction chain or belt to transport bulk materials upward in a vertical or nearly vertical direction. There are three types of bucket elevators: chain, plate chain and belt.

[0003] In actual use, the discharge position of traditional bucket elevators is mostly fixed, and in some occasions the discharge position needs to be adjusted.

[0004] It was retrieved from the prior art that a Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221795888U discloses "a bucket elevator with adjustable blanking position", which includes a body consisting of a conveying cylinder and a lifting cylinder. The discharge position of the lifting cylinder is connected to a blanking pipe, and the bottoms on the left and right sides of the blanking pipe are rotatably connected to rotating rod 1 and rotating rod 2 respectively through bearing seats. The surfaces of the rotating rod 1 and rotating rod 2 are fixedly connected to an extension cylinder, which rotates back and forth through a driving structure and cooperates with rotating rod 1 and rotating rod 2 to rotate on the bearing seat.

[0005] The above scheme adjusts the discharge position by rotating the extension cylinder. Although the discharge position can be adjusted, the disadvantages of this scheme are also very obvious. First, the extension cylinder can only swing in two directions, that is, it can only adjust the position in the left and right directions.

Therefore, the material will make a parabolic motion after being discharged from the extension cylinder, which is not conducive to material unloading, especially it is not convenient to use with a packaging machine to bag the material.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a bucket elevator feeding device. Utility Model Content
