Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grain hopper cleaning, and particularly discloses a grain hopper cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] During the grain storage and transportation process at the port, bulk grain is placed into the hopper through the grab bucket of the gantry crane, and then falls through the hopper onto the air cushion conveyor belt and is transported into the warehouse.

[0003] A grain hopper usually consists of a shell, a baffle, a switch device and other parts. The upper part of the shell is the feed port for receiving the input grain; the lower part is the discharge port for discharging the grain. The baffles are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the discharge port and are rotatably connected to the shell to control the outflow speed and direction of the grain. A grille is also provided in the grain hopper to filter, separate or control the flow of grain. The structural design of the grille is diverse and can be grid-shaped, strip-shaped or other shapes to accommodate different types of grain and flow requirements. Grid-shaped grilles are often used to filter larger impurities and particles, while strip-shaped grilles are more suitable for controlling the flow speed and direction of grain.

[0004] Due to the effect of friction or humidity, some of the grain in the hopper will adhere to the inner wall of the hopper, especially under the grille. It is difficult to clean the accumulated material from above the grille, and the operator needs to enter the small space under the grille of the hopper and use a copper shovel to clean it. During the cleaning process, the cleaning efficiency is low due to space limitations. There is no protective device at the drop port of the hopper, and there is a safety hazard that the operator may slip into the drop port. Furthermore, the copper shovel is flat and difficult to insert into the grille hole. It is also difficult to push the material down by simply inserting it into the accumulated material. It is also necessary to rotate the copper shovel and use the shovel head to move the material, especially when facing the edges and corners of the inner wall. The insertion and rotation of the copper shovel need to be repeated many times, which increases the workload. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a grain hopper cleaner to solve the problem that a flat shovel head is difficult to insert into a grille hole when cleaning materials, which results in a high labor load.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A grain hopper cleaner includes a handle and a cleaning shovel mounted at the end of the handle. The cleaning shovel comprises two angled triangular plates; one right-angled side of the two triangular plates is fixedly connected, while the other right-angled sides lie in the same plane. The cleaning shovel facilitates insertion of accumulated material, enabling insertion of two planes simultaneously, increasing the chance of accumulated material falling. Furthermore, the cleaning shovel can be inserted into grille holes for cleaning, reducing labor.

[0008] Preferably, the angle α between the two triangular plates is 60°, which is convenient for matching the corners of the inner wall of the hopper.

[0009] Preferably, the handle bar and the cleaning shovel are hingedly arranged so as to be applicable to different angles and increase the scope of application.

[0010] Preferably, a hinge plate is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the triangular plate; the hinge plate is provided at a right angle of the triangular plate; a hinge hole is provided on the hinge plate; and one end of the handle rod is hinged in the hinge hole.

[0011] Preferably, the handle rod is telescopically configured; the handle rod comprises an articulated rod; a radial rod is disposed at the end of the articulated rod; the radial rod is hinged within the articulated hole; the end of the articulated rod, remote from the radial rod, is inserted into a sleeve; both the articulated rod and the sleeve are provided with a plurality of radial through-holes; screws are disposed within the radial through-holes. With the telescopic handle rod, an operator can stand above the grille, fix the handle rod length based on the location of the material to be cleaned, and then pass the cleaning shovel through the grille hole to clean the material below. The operator is no longer restricted by space, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing safety hazards.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixedly provided on one end of the sleeve away from the hinged rod, so as to facilitate handheld operation.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. The reasonable setting of the cleaning shovel makes it easy to insert the accumulated materials. It can achieve two-plane insertion at a time, which increases the probability of the accumulated materials falling. It can also be inserted into the grille hole for cleaning, reducing the workload.

[0015] 2. The telescopic handle allows the operator to stand above the grille, fix the length of the handle according to the location of the material to be cleaned, and then pass the cleaning shovel through the grille hole to clean the material under the grille. The operator is no longer restricted by space, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved, and safety hazards are reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a grain hopper cleaner includes a handle bar 1 and a cleaning shovel 2 disposed at the end of the handle bar 1. The handle bar 1 is telescopically arranged. The handle bar 1 includes a hinged bar 101; a radial bar 102 is disposed at the end of the hinged bar 101; the radial bar 102 is hinged in a hinge hole; the end of the hinged bar 101 away from the radial bar 102 is inserted into a sleeve 103; the hinged bar 101 and the sleeve 103 are both provided with a plurality of radial through holes; screws 104 are disposed in the radial through holes, and the screws 104 can be inserted into the radial through holes of the hinged bar 101 and the sleeve 103 to fix the length of the handle bar 1. A handle bar 105 is fixed to the end of the sleeve 103 away from the hinged bar 101 for convenient handheld operation.

[0026] In other alternative embodiments, a plurality of elastic clips are provided on the outer wall of the hinged rod 101 of the handle rod 1, and a groove matching the elastic clips is provided on the sleeve 103. The elastic clips can be snapped into the groove to fix the position of the hinged rod 101 in the sleeve 103, and it is more convenient to adjust the length of the handle rod 1. However, when the aggregated materials are tightly combined, the elastic clips are easy to loosen from the groove.

[0027] like Figure 2-3As shown, the cleaning shovel 2 includes two angled triangular plates 201. The right-angled sides of the two triangular plates 201 are fixedly connected on one side, while the right-angled sides of the other side lie in the same plane. This allows the tip of the connecting edge of the two triangular plates 201 to be used to insert the accumulated material. This allows insertion into two planes, namely the planes of the two triangular plates 201, at a time, increasing the chance of the accumulated material falling. Furthermore, given a certain contact area between the cleaning shovel 2 and the material, compared to a flat arrangement, it can be inserted into the grille holes for cleaning, reducing labor. To facilitate alignment with the corners of the hopper's inner wall, the angle α between the two triangular plates 201 is 60°.

[0028] To accommodate different angles and expand its scope of application, the handle bar 1 and the cleaning shovel 2 are hingedly connected. A hinge plate 202 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the triangular plate 201; the hinge plate 202 is positioned at a right angle to the triangular plate 201; a hinge hole is formed on the hinge plate 202; and the radial rod 102 is hinged in the hinge hole.

[0029] In other alternative embodiments, round rods are provided on the outer walls of the two triangular plates 201 , and the round rods are provided on a hinge seat with a concave cross-section, and the middle of the concave bottom surface of the hinge seat is welded to the end of the hinge rod 101 .

[0030] During use, the screw rod 104 is inserted into the radial through holes on the hinge rod 101 and the sleeve 103 to fix the length of the handle rod 1. The operator stands above the grille, holds the handle rod 105 and inserts the cleaning shovel 2 into the grille hole. The cleaning shovel 2 is pushed up and down by the handle rod 105, so that the cleaning shovel 2 rubs against the material, driving the grain in the hopper to fall. The operator is no longer restricted by space, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved, and the operation of rotating the cleaning shovel 2 to move the material is avoided, which reduces dust and reduces labor.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, persons of ordinary skill in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions to the embodiments of the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions shall be within the scope of the present invention. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by persons skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
