[0002] The screw feeder is a relatively common material conveying equipment, which is widely used in industrial production for uniform and continuous conveying of powdered, granular or small block materials. It transports the material from the feed port to the discharge port through the rotating motion of the spiral blade. It has the characteristics of simple structure, easy operation and good sealing. It is suitable for a variety of industries such as building materials, chemical industry, grain processing, etc.

[0003] However, the current screw feeder still has some shortcomings.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer side of the supporting plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped slider, and the outer surface of the arc-shaped slider is slidably connected to the inner surface of the feeding barrel, and the supporting plate forms a sliding structure with the feeding barrel through the arc-shaped slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the side of the supporting plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber sealing ring, and the supporting plate and the rubber sealing ring form a fixed structure, and the outer surface of the rubber sealing ring is fitted and connected to the inner surface of the feeding barrel.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate, a fixing rod, a second bearing assembly and a driving motor, and the fixing rods are installed in a circular shape and at equal distances on the inner side of the connecting plate, and the end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the second bearing assembly, and the driving motor is installed on the inner side of the second bearing assembly, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the end of the driving shaft through a coupling.

[0013] The utility model provides a screw feeder for preventing material backflow, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The utility model provides an arc-shaped slider, so that the electric push rod can drive the first bearing assembly and the connecting assembly to move back and forth along the inner surface of the feeding barrel during operation. When the second bearing assembly moves to the feeding port, the feeding port is automatically sealed to ensure that the material to be conveyed will not enter the interior of the feeding barrel through the feeding port when the screw feeder stops feeding. At the same time, it also effectively ensures that the material will not flow back from the feeding port, thereby avoiding the backflow of material when the screw feeder stops conveying wood particle material, causing wear and increased energy consumption during subsequent operation of the equipment. In addition, by increasing the roughness of the outer surface of the spiral conveying blade, the spiral conveying blade can also provide a certain anti-material backflow effect when conveying materials.

[0015] 2. The utility model provides a rubber sealing ring, so that when the first bearing assembly and the connecting assembly move along the inside of the feeding barrel, they can effectively ensure that the material in the feeding barrel will not pass through the bearing plate and the second bearing assembly into the non-conveying space, thereby providing convenience for the staff's subsequent equipment maintenance.

[0020] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a screw feeder for preventing material backflow includes a feeding barrel 1 and an electric push rod 5, the bottom of the feeding barrel 1 is fixedly installed with a discharge port 2, and the top of the feeding barrel 1 is fixedly connected to the feeding port 3, and the inside of the feeding barrel 1 is movably connected to a first bearing component 4, the electric push rod 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the feeding barrel 1, and the extended end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting component 6, the connecting component 6 includes a connecting plate 61, a fixing rod 62, a second bearing component 63 and a driving motor 64, and the inner side of the connecting plate 61 is annularly and equidistantly installed with fixing rods 62, and the end of the fixing rod 62 is fixedly connected to the second bearing component 63, the end of the fixing rod 62 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 61, and the other end of the fixing rod 62 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second bearing component 63, and the second bearing component 63 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second bearing component 63. The fixed rod 62 and the connecting plate 61 form a fixed structure. By setting the second bearing assembly 63 and the connecting plate 61 as a fixed structure, the connecting plate 61 is more stable when driving the second bearing assembly 63 to move along the inside of the feeding barrel 1, and a driving motor 64 is installed on the inner side of the second bearing assembly 63. The second bearing assembly 63 and the first bearing assembly 4 are symmetrically arranged with the mid-vertical line of the driving shaft 7 as the symmetry axis, and the two ends of the driving shaft 7 are respectively connected to the internal rotation of the second bearing assembly 63 and the first bearing assembly 4, and the structural composition of the second bearing assembly 63 is the same as that of the first bearing assembly 4. At the same time, the output shaft of the driving motor 64 is connected to the end of the driving shaft 7 through a coupling, and the end of the connecting assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 7, and the outer surface of the driving shaft 7 is fixedly installed with a spiral conveying blade 8.

[0022] like Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the feeding barrel 1 is fixedly installed with a discharge port 2, and the top of the feeding barrel 1 is fixedly connected with a feed port 3, and the inside of the feeding barrel 1 is movably connected with a first bearing assembly 4, the first bearing assembly 4 includes a bearing plate 41, an arc-shaped slider 42 and a rubber sealing ring 43, and the outer surface of the bearing plate 41 is annular and fixedly installed with an arc-shaped slider 42 at equal distances, the outer side of the bearing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped slider 42, and the outer surface of the arc-shaped slider 42 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the feeding barrel 1, and the bearing plate 41 forms a sliding structure with the feeding barrel 1 through the arc-shaped slider 42. By configuring the bearing plate 41 and the feeding barrel 1 into a sliding structure, the bearing plate 41 can move more smoothly and stably along the inner surface of the feeding barrel 1. The supporting plate 41 is fixed, and rubber sealing rings 43 are symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the supporting plate 41. The sides of the supporting plate 41 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the rubber sealing ring 43, and the supporting plate 41 and the rubber sealing ring 43 constitute a fixed structure, and the outer surface of the rubber sealing ring 43 is fit-connected to the inner surface of the feeding barrel 1. By setting the supporting plate 41 and the rubber sealing ring 43 as a fixed structure, the supporting plate 41 can move the rubber sealing ring 43 along the inner surface of the feeding barrel 1 more smoothly and stably, and the electric push rod 5 is fixedly installed on the end of the feeding barrel 1, and the extending end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting component 6, and the end of the connecting component 6 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 7, and the outer surface of the drive shaft 7 is fixedly installed with a spiral conveying blade 8.

[0023] In summary, the screw feeder that prevents material backflow is first based on Figures 1 to 3 In the structure shown in the figure, the staff turns on the drive motor 64 through the controller. When the drive motor 64 starts running, it drives the drive shaft 7 to rotate inside the second bearing assembly 63 and the bearing plate 41, so that the drive shaft 7 drives the spiral conveying blade 8 to rotate inside the feeding barrel 1 to automatically convey the material. When the staff stops the material conveying work, the staff turns off the drive motor 64 and turns on the electric push rod 5 through the controller. When the electric push rod 5 starts running, it pushes the connecting plate 61 to move along the inside of the feeding barrel 1. At this time, through the connection of the fixed rod 62 and the sliding of the arc-shaped slider 42, the first bearing assembly 4 and the second bearing assembly 63 are moved synchronously along the inner surface of the feeding barrel 1, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly adjusting the position of the first bearing assembly 4 and the connecting assembly 6. When the second bearing assembly 63 moves to the discharge port 2, the electric push rod 5 is closed. At this time, the second bearing assembly 63 automatically seals the end of the discharge port 2 to ensure that the material in the feeding barrel 1 will not flow back into the storage bin from the discharge port 2, and also ensure that the material in the storage bin will not continue to enter the inside of the feeding barrel 1.
