Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of screw feeders, specifically relating to a screw feeder that prevents shaft bending. Background Technology
[0002] A screw feeder, also known as a auger feeder, is a widely used coal conveying device. Its core working principle is to use spiral blades to feed coal into the coal pipeline. This equipment mainly consists of a screw conveyor, a screw shaft, spiral blades, a feed inlet, and a discharge outlet. It has a relatively simple structure, stable operation, low noise, and low failure rate. It is especially suitable for conveying coal materials in narrow spaces or where it is required to convey irregularly shaped coal materials. During use, fuel falls into the screw feeder from the coal chute, and the rotation of the screw rod feeds the fuel into the furnace. This conveying method gives the screw feeder continuous, uniform, and stable characteristics during coal conveying.
[0003] In practical use, existing screw feeders are generally too long, and their internal screw shafts are hollow. The excessive span at both ends makes the middle area of the hollow shaft prone to bending due to increased load. This causes the screw blades in the middle shaft area to rub against the feeder casing, gradually increasing the motor current and eventually causing the feeder to overload and stop, affecting its normal operation. Therefore, this utility model proposes a screw feeder that prevents shaft bending. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a technical solution: a screw feeder for preventing shaft bending, comprising...
[0025] 1. A screw shaft rotatably mounted inside the housing 1 via bearings; 2. A geared motor 2 mounted on the right side surface of the housing 1 via bolts and whose output end is connected to the right end of the screw shaft.
[0026] The spiral shaft consists of two end shafts 3, an intermediate shaft 4 installed between the two end shafts 3, and two hanging bearing support devices 5 set at the connection between the intermediate shaft 4 and the end shafts 3. Both ends of the end shafts 3 and the intermediate shaft 4 are fixed with flange shafts 7.
[0027] The hanging bearing support device 5 includes a bearing 51, a connecting shaft 52 rotatably mounted inside the bearing 51 via bearings, a U-shaped ring 54 sleeved and fixed on the surface of the bearing 51, a lifting arm 55 fixed to the top of the U-shaped ring 54, and two lifting lugs 56 welded and fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the casing 1. The two ends of the lifting arm 55 are respectively fixed to the two lifting lugs 56. Both ends of the connecting shaft 52 are provided with integrated connecting blocks 521. The flange shaft 7 has a connecting slot 71 for the connecting blocks 521 to be inserted, and a disassembly and assembly structure 53 is provided between the connecting blocks 521 and the flange shaft 7. Through the design of the hanging bearing support device 5, the middle area of the screw shaft, that is, the two ends of the middle shaft 4, can be effectively supported, ensuring sufficient strength of the screw shaft during subsequent full-load operation, avoiding bending in the middle area, and ensuring the stable operation of the screw feeder.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the disassembly and assembly structure 53 includes a through pin 531 and two annular pin seats 532 welded and fixed to the surface of the flange shaft 7. The surface of the connecting block 521 is provided with a second through hole 522 corresponding to the through pin 531. The surface of the flange shaft 7 is provided with two first through holes 72 at positions corresponding to the annular pin seats 532, so that the through pin 531 can be inserted into the second through hole 522 and the first through hole 72, thereby simultaneously connecting the connecting block 521 and the flange shaft 7 and completing the insertion between the connecting block 521 and the flange shaft 7. The through pin 531 simultaneously connects the connecting block 521 and the flange shaft 7, and both ends of the through pin 531 are respectively inserted into the two annular pin seats 532.
[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the disassembly and assembly structure 53 further includes a locking and limiting structure. The locking and limiting structure is disposed between the annular pin seat 532 and the through pin 531. The locking and limiting structure includes an inner groove 535 locked inside one side of the annular pin seat 532, a spring 536 and a telescopic locking ball 537 installed in the inner groove 535, and an annular groove 538 opened on the end surface of the through pin 531. The telescopic locking ball 537 is movably installed in the inner groove 535 by the spring 536, and the end of the telescopic locking ball 537 pops out into the annular groove 538, which can lock and limit the through pin 531, so that the through pin 531 can be effectively limited after insertion, ensuring the insertion stability between the flange shaft 7 and the connecting plug 521. When it is necessary to pull out the through pin 531 later, simply push the through pin 531 with force, so that the end of the telescopic locking ball 537 is gradually squeezed into the inner groove 535, and the through pin 531 can be smoothly pushed out from between the flange shaft 7 and the connecting plug 521.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, one end of the spring 536 is fixed to the inner wall of the inner groove 535, and the other end of the spring 536 is fixed to the telescopic locking bead 537.
[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, the top end of the U-shaped ring 54 is fixed to the boom 55 by bolts, and the end of the boom 55 is fixed to the lug 56 by bolts.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, a discharge port 6 is provided at the bottom left side of the housing 1, and the discharge port 6 communicates with the interior of the housing 1 for subsequent material feeding.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but the difference is that the disassembly structure 53 also includes a threaded plug 533 sleeved on the surface of the annular pin seat 532. The threaded plug 533 is threadedly connected to the annular pin seat 532. A plug block 534 is fixed on the inner wall of the threaded plug 533, and the end of the plug block 534 is inserted into the inner side of the annular pin seat 532. This can effectively wrap and seal the annular pin seat 532, preventing coal from entering the plug block 534 during subsequent use. If the flange shaft 7 and the connecting insert 521 need to be separated later, simply unscrew the threaded plug 533 first, and then pull the pin 531 out from between the connecting insert 521 and the flange shaft 7. This will directly separate the connecting insert 521 from the flange shaft 7, completing the quick disassembly of the hanging tile support device 5.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
