Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain depot equipment technology, and in particular to a bucket elevator for grain depots. Background Technology
[0002] Bucket elevators are continuous conveying machines that vertically lift materials using a series of buckets evenly fixed to an endless traction component. They are suitable for lifting materials from low to high places. After the material is fed into the buckets, the machine automatically and continuously transports it upwards.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number CN221955127U, which discloses a bucket elevator for grain conveying. This patent uses the transmission action of two rotating rollers to drive the bucket trough to scoop up grain from the bottom and move it upwards. After passing through the rotating roller at the top, the bucket trough flips downwards to discharge the grain. This device has certain problems: there is no guidance for the direction of material movement at the discharge point, and after the bucket trough flips, some of the material will fall back to the bottom of the outer shell due to its own weight, affecting the material lifting efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bucket elevator for grain depots in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The bucket elevator for grain depots includes a base plate, with an elevator housing on the top of the base plate. A discharge port is opened on the upper side of one side of the elevator housing. A support frame is fixedly connected between the elevator housing and the base plate. A symmetrical transmission column is rotatably connected inside the elevator housing.
[0007] A conveyor belt is connected to a symmetrical drive column. A material picking mechanism is provided on the conveyor belt. The material picking mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is equidistantly installed on the conveyor belt. A material picking hopper is hinged to the rotating shaft. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating shaft and the material picking hopper. A roller is installed at the end of the material picking hopper away from the rotating shaft. An auxiliary frame is fixedly installed on the side of the elevator shell near the discharge port. A guide plate is provided on the top of the auxiliary frame near the conveyor belt. The guide plate is bolted to the upper end of the auxiliary frame and is made of elastic material.
[0008] Preferably, a discharge hopper is installed on the discharge port of the elevator casing, the discharge hopper is inclined at the same angle as the guide plate, and a feed hopper is fixedly installed on the lower end of the side of the elevator casing away from the discharge hopper.
[0009] Preferably, a power motor is fixedly connected to the rear end of the hoist housing, and the output shaft of the power motor is fixedly connected to one of the transmission columns.
[0010] Preferably, a stirring motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the feed hopper, a movable column is rotatably connected inside the feed hopper, the output shaft of the stirring motor is fixedly connected to the movable column, and a stirring assembly is provided on the movable column.
[0011] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes multiple sets of stirring plates, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the movable column, and the multiple sets of stirring plates are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0012] Preferably, the feed hopper is connected to the inner shell of the elevator, and a bracket is fixedly installed on the side of the feed hopper away from the outer shell of the elevator.
[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: when the hopper moves above the guide plate, it begins to pour the material. Then the hopper squeezes the guide plate, causing the torsion springs of the guide plate and the rotating shaft to deform simultaneously. Then the hopper detaches from the guide plate, and at the same time the rollers and the auxiliary frame roll. Then the hopper detaches from the auxiliary frame. By guiding the material, the material lifting efficiency is improved.
[0014] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the attached drawings, the reference numerals are explained as follows: 101, base plate; 102, elevator shell; 201, feed hopper; 202, discharge hopper; 301, transmission column; 302, conveyor belt; 401, rotating shaft; 402, pickup hopper; 403, roller; 404, auxiliary frame; 405, guide plate; 501, stirring motor; 502, movable column; 503, stirring plate; 6, power motor.
[0021] like Figure 1-5As shown, the bucket elevator for grain depot includes a base plate 101, an elevator housing 102 is provided on the top of the base plate 101, a discharge port is opened on the upper side of one side of the elevator housing 102, a support frame is fixedly connected between the elevator housing 102 and the base plate 101, and a transmission column 301 symmetrically connected inside the elevator housing 102.
[0022] A conveyor belt 302 is connected to a symmetrical drive column 301. A material-collecting mechanism is provided on the conveyor belt 302. The material-collecting mechanism includes a rotating shaft 401, which is equidistantly mounted on the conveyor belt 302. A material-collecting hopper 402 is hinged to the rotating shaft 401. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating shaft 401 and the material-collecting hopper 402. A roller 403 is installed at the end of the material-collecting hopper 402 away from the rotating shaft 401. An auxiliary frame 404 is fixedly installed on the side of the elevator housing 102 near the discharge port. A guide plate 405 is provided on the top of the auxiliary frame 404 near the conveyor belt 302. The guide plate 405 is bolted to the upper end of the auxiliary frame 404 and is made of elastic material. The material-collecting hopper 402 rotates with the conveyor belt 302. When the material reaches the bottom of the elevator housing 102, it is picked up. As the picking hopper 402 moves above the guide plate 405, it begins to pour the material, causing the material to slide off the guide plate 405 to the side away from the conveyor belt 302. Then, the picking hopper 402 squeezes the guide plate 405, causing the torsion spring of the guide plate 405 and the rotating shaft 401 to deform simultaneously. As the picking hopper 402 continues to move downward, it then detaches from the guide plate 405. The guide plate 405 recovers its deformation and vibrates, which helps to shake off the material on the guide plate 405. At the same time, the roller 403 and the auxiliary frame 404 roll. Then, the picking hopper 402 detaches from the auxiliary frame 404, and the torsion spring recovers its deformation, shaking off the remaining material in the picking hopper 402.
[0023] A discharge hopper 202 is installed on the discharge port of the elevator housing 102. The discharge hopper 202 is inclined at the same angle as the guide plate 405. A feed hopper 201 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the side of the elevator housing 102 away from the discharge hopper 202. When in use, the material is poured into the feed hopper 201.
[0024] A power motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the elevator housing 102. The output shaft of the power motor 6 is fixedly connected to one of the transmission columns 301. The power motor 6 drives the transmission column 301 to rotate, so that the transmission column 301 drives the conveyor belt 302 to move.
[0025] A stirring motor 501 is fixedly installed at the front end of the feed hopper 201. A movable column 502 is rotatably connected inside the feed hopper 201. The output shaft of the stirring motor 501 is fixedly connected to the movable column 502. A stirring assembly is provided on the movable column 502.
[0026] The mixing assembly includes multiple sets of agitator plates 503, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the movable column 502. The multiple sets of agitator plates 503 are staggered. The mixing motor 501 drives the movable column 502 to rotate, which in turn drives the agitator plates 503 to rotate. As the agitator plates 503 rotate, they push the material auxiliary pickup hopper 402 to pick up the material.
[0027] The feed hopper 201 is connected to the elevator housing 102, and a bracket is fixedly installed on the side of the feed hopper 201 away from the elevator housing 102.
[0028] Working principle: During operation, material is poured into the feed hopper 201. The power motor 6 drives the transmission column 301 to rotate, causing the transmission column 301 to move the conveyor belt 302. The pickup hopper 402 picks up material as the conveyor belt 302 rotates to the bottom of the elevator housing 102. The stirring motor 501 drives the movable column 502 to rotate, causing the movable column 502 to rotate the agitator plate 503. As the agitator plate 503 rotates, it pushes the material to assist the pickup hopper 402 in picking up the material. When the pickup hopper 402 moves above the guide plate 405, it begins to pour the material, allowing it to flow smoothly along the guide plate. Material slides down the material plate 405 to the side away from the conveyor belt 302 for feeding. Then, the picking hopper 402 squeezes the guide plate 405, causing the guide plate 405 and the torsion spring of the rotating shaft 401 to deform simultaneously. As the picking hopper 402 continues to move downward, it then detaches from the guide plate 405. The guide plate 405 recovers its deformation and vibrates, which helps to shake off the material on the guide plate 405. At the same time, the roller 403 and the auxiliary frame 404 roll. Then, the picking hopper 402 detaches from the auxiliary frame 404, and the torsion spring recovers its deformation, shaking off the remaining material in the picking hopper 402.
[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, and the various examples do not constitute a limitation on the substantive content of this utility model.
