AI Technical Summary
Traditional steel-lined hoppers have a problem of poor sealing on the side of the hopper away from the torsion spring, which leads to material leakage, especially in extremely cold environments.
The hopper is made of polyurethane material and is designed with an elastic band and a torsion spring. The elastic band is set on the side of the hopper away from the torsion spring to increase the closing effect of the hopper, and a detachable connection is achieved through plug-in blocks and bolts to ensure sealing.
After the material passes through, the combined action of the torsion spring and the elastic belt causes the hopper to close quickly, improving the sealing performance of the hopper, especially maintaining a good sealing effect in extremely cold environments. The elastic belt is replaceable to maintain a long-term sealing effect.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material conveying, and in particular to an extreme cold-resistant polyurethane funnel. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of modern technology, steel-lined hoppers, as a key fluid control component, are widely used in various industries, scientific research and aerospace fields. Traditional steel-lined hopper designs usually include multiple hoppers, which are mounted on the discharge port of the hopper by rotating.
[0003] To keep the hopper closed under normal conditions, a torsion spring is installed between the hopper and the hopper outlet. The spring's elastic force allows the hopper to close automatically when no external force is applied, effectively preventing material leakage. When material is poured into the hopper, the pressure from the material causes the hopper to automatically open, creating an opening that allows the material to pass through.
[0004] However, when the elastic force of the torsion spring drives all the hoppers to be in a closed state, the side of the hopper away from the torsion spring often has a problem of poor sealing, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The hopper 22 body includes an elastic band 21, multiple hoppers 22 and multiple torsion springs 23. In this embodiment, the hopper 22 is made of polyurethane material. The polyurethane material has good low-temperature resistance and can maintain good flexibility and strength at low temperatures, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hopper 22 in extremely cold environments.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 All hoppers 22 are rotatably mounted on the funnel body 1 and enclosed by the outer wall of the sealing ring 11; the torsion spring 23 is installed at the hinge between the hopper 22 and the funnel body 1, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 23 is used to drive all hoppers 22 to be in a closed state and cover the discharge port of the funnel body 1.
[0039] A rubber layer 24 is provided between two adjacent hoppers 22. When all the hoppers 22 are in a closed state, the two adjacent hoppers 22 are flexibly connected and pressed against each other, thereby increasing the sealing between the two adjacent hoppers 22 and thereby increasing the sealing effect of the hopper 22 body on the discharge port of the funnel body 1.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 A plug-in slot 25 is provided on the outer wall of the hopper 22 and on one side away from the torsion spring 23, and a detachable plug-in block 4 is installed in the plug-in slot 25; the elastic band 21 is connected to the plug-in blocks of all the hoppers 22, and the elastic force of the elastic band 21 is used to drive all the hoppers 22 to close.
[0041] In this embodiment, the plug-in block 4 is provided with a threaded hole 41, and the inner wall of the plug-in slot 25 is provided with a threaded groove for communicating with the threaded hole 41, and bolts 5 are installed in the threaded hole 41 and the threaded groove; the provision of the bolts 5 can realize the disassembly and assembly between the plug-in block 4 and the hopper 22, and the elastic band 21 can be replaced after the elastic force fails after long-term use, so as to maintain the sealing effect of all the hoppers 22 being closed to each other.
[0042] The implementation principle of Example 1 of the present application is:
[0043] When the material enters the funnel, the hopper 22 will automatically open to form an opening due to the pressure of the material, allowing the material to pass through smoothly; after the material passes through, the elastic force of the torsion spring 23 and the elastic band 21 work together to make the hopper 22 quickly return to the closed state; and the elastic band 21 is arranged on the side of the hopper 22 away from the torsion spring 23. The elastic force of the elastic band 21 can increase the closing effect of all the hoppers 22 on the side away from the torsion spring 23, thereby improving the sealing of the hopper 22.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] The embodiment of the present application discloses a polyurethane funnel 22 that is resistant to extreme cold.
[0046] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between Example 2 of the present application and Example 1 is that: movable grooves 42 are provided on the opposite side walls of the plug-in block 4, and a clamping block 6 is movably installed in the movable groove 42.

The distance between the guide surface 63 and the positioning surface decreases from the side close to the movable groove 42 to the side away from the movable groove 42. The guide surface 63 is used to guide the clamping block 6 into the movable groove 42.
[0047] Reference Figure 6 A spring 61 is provided between the clamping block 6 and the movable groove 42. The elastic force of the spring 61 is used to drive the clamping block 6 to be inserted into the clamping groove 26 under normal conditions. When the plug-in block 4 is inserted into the insertion groove 25, the guide block enters the movable groove 42 under the guidance of the guide surface 63, so that the plug-in block 4 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion groove 25. When the movable groove 42 and the clamping groove 26 are arranged opposite each other, the clamping block 6 is inserted into the clamping groove 26 under the elastic force of the spring 61, thereby completing the installation of the plug-in block 4 and the hopper 22. The plug-in block 4 is connected to the hopper 22 by the plug-in cooperation between the clamping block 6 and the clamping groove 26, which is more convenient and improves the installation efficiency between the elastic band and the hopper 22.
