Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, specifically to a lightweight material elevator bucket. Background Technology

[0002] Existing belt bucket elevators are widely used in the vertical conveying of powdery and granular materials in industrial processes such as chemical, metallurgical, and building materials. For the vertical conveying of materials with low density and irregular shape (such as household waste and solid waste), the buckets generate significant air pressure during movement, causing these lightweight and irregular materials to easily suspend within the elevator. This makes it difficult to retain the material in the buckets, resulting in less material being conveyed and a large amount of material accumulating at the bottom of the elevator, leading to low efficiency. The significant accumulation of material at the bottom of the elevator also severely impacts the equipment's operational efficiency. Furthermore, existing discharge ports are mostly fixed structures, making height adjustment inconvenient and causing certain shortcomings in practical use. Therefore, we propose a lightweight material elevator bucket. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lightweight material elevator bucket, comprising an elevator body and an elevator belt, wherein the elevator belt is installed within the elevator body, and further comprising:

[0007] Discharge pipe one, which is connected to the elevator body;

[0008] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the discharge pipe one. The adjustment mechanism includes two electric cylinders, both of which are installed on the discharge pipe one.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-Figure 5 A lightweight material hoist bucket includes a hoist body 1 and a hoisting belt 2, the hoisting belt 2 being installed inside the hoist body 1, and further includes:

[0026] Discharge pipe 3 is connected to the elevator body 1;

[0027] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the discharge pipe 3. The adjustment mechanism includes two electric cylinders 4, both of which are installed on the discharge pipe 3. The output end of the electric cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 5. The discharge pipe 6 is fixedly connected between the two connecting blocks 5. The discharge pipe 6 is slidably connected inside the discharge pipe 3. The electric cylinder 4 is used to provide power for adjusting the height of the discharge pipe 6, thereby improving its practicality.

[0028] The holding mechanism is set on the lifting belt 2. The holding mechanism includes a hopper 7, which is fixedly connected to the lifting belt 2. The hopper 7 has multiple grooves, and multiple ventilation holes 8 are opened in the grooves. A shielding net 10 is detachably connected to the grooves by multiple bolts 9 for ventilation, which can effectively reduce the air pressure generated by the hopper 7 during the movement.

[0029] Two slid grooves are provided on the hopper 7. A baffle 11 is slidably connected in the slid groove. Multiple springs 12 are provided between the baffle 11 and the slid groove. The springs 12 are used to assist the baffle 11 in extending and retracting, and to block the hopper 7 filled with material to prevent the material from falling out.

[0030] Multiple stabilizing rods 13 are fixedly connected inside the slide. The baffle 11 is slidably connected to the multiple stabilizing rods 13. The spring 12 is sleeved on the stabilizing rods 13 to improve the stability of the baffle 11 and the spring 12.

[0031] The hopper 7 has an installation slot, and the installation slot is detachably connected to the installation plate 15 by multiple bolts 14. Multiple digging teeth 16 are fixedly connected to the installation plate 15, which enhances the digging strength of the hopper 7. The protruding digging teeth 16 increase the digging capacity and improve the practicality.

[0032] Two grooves are provided inside the discharge pipe 3. Two slide plates 17 are fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 6. The slide plates 17 are slidably connected in the grooves 2, which improves the stability of the discharge pipe 6.

[0033] It should be further explained that the electric cylinder 4 in this embodiment is a conventional device known to those skilled in the art and available on the market. The model can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this patent, we only use it without improving its structure and function. Its setting method, installation method and electrical connection method can be debugged and operated by those skilled in the art according to the requirements of its instruction manual. It will not be described in detail here. The electric cylinder 4 is equipped with a matching control switch. The installation position of the control switch can be selected according to the actual use requirements to facilitate the operator's operation and control.

[0034] In summary, the working principle and process of the lightweight material elevator bucket are as follows: First, place the lightweight material elevator bucket at the desired location. When adjusting the discharge height, activate the electric cylinder 4. The electric cylinder 4 will drive the discharge pipe 2 6 to slide within the discharge pipe 3 via the connecting block 5. This allows for adjustment of the discharge pipe 2 6 height according to specific usage conditions. Then, as the bucket 7 moves, the vent 8 effectively reduces the air pressure generated during the bucket 7's movement. The shielding net 10 serves to shield the material, preventing it from flowing out of the vent 8. During digging, the toothed plate and digging teeth 16 increase the digging capacity. At this time, because the bucket 7's digging baffle 11 is also pressed into the chute, the spring 12 is compressed. After digging, the material is no longer pressing against the baffle 11, and the spring 12 will cause the baffle 11 to rebound. The baffle 11 serves to shield the material inside the bucket 7, thus preventing a large amount of material from falling and improving practicality.

[0035] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
