Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material distributors, and in particular to a swing material distributor. Background Technology
[0002] The three (four) distributor is a commonly used device in mechanized transportation and automated material conveying. Its function is to distribute materials to two or more different conveying systems in an automated transportation system. It is a simple and reliable device for transferring materials on the same level.
[0003] Currently, commonly used distributors are classified according to their structural form as follows: flap-type distributors, belt-type distributors, and sliding distributors.
[0004] The flap-type distributor is a commonly used and simple material transfer device on the same floor. Due to structural and operational requirements, there must be a certain gap between the flap and the side wall of the shell. This means that some powder and crushed materials will leak into another system during the distribution process, inevitably causing material mixing. In addition, if hard crushed materials get stuck in the gap between the flap and the side wall of the shell, the flap will be jammed and unable to rotate, failing to achieve the purpose of material distribution. In severe cases, it can damage the equipment and delay normal production.
[0005] Belt conveyors are commonly used, albeit complex, material handling equipment. They are typically used for transferring materials between different layers or on a single large steel platform. The belt operates in both forward and reverse directions and requires dual or single motor drive. The designed belt width is usually one level larger than the incoming material's capacity, making them suitable for separating powders and mixed materials of varying particle sizes. However, they are not suitable for applications with very short conveying distances, as belt misalignment can disrupt normal production. Furthermore, their structure dictates higher power consumption than other conveying equipment, and they require additional investment in platform installation and dust collection systems.
[0006] A sliding feeder is a relatively complex material transfer device, generally used for transferring materials between different levels or for transferring materials on a single large steel platform. This feeder is quite heavy and typically uses a motor or hydraulic cylinder for drive. However, it requires additional investment in platform installation and dust removal.
[0007] Based on the above analysis, several material distribution devices have certain defects. In order to solve these problems as much as possible, this application provides a swing material distributor. Utility Model Content
[0008] This invention provides a swing feeder that solves the above-mentioned problems.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0010] A oscillating feeder, comprising:
[0011] The distributor housing has a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom, with at least two discharge outlets provided in the same vertical plane;
[0012] The oscillating distribution tube is installed inside the distributor housing and can rotate in the vertical plane where the discharge port is located, so that the outlet of the oscillating distribution tube is connected with the corresponding discharge port.
[0013] A guide tube is installed at the feed inlet of the distributor housing, and its lower part is inserted into the swing distribution tube. The guide tube includes two symmetrical half-tubes, and the two half-tubes of the guide tube are respectively rotatably engaged with the distributor housing, so that they can rotate with the rotation of the swing distribution tube.
[0014] By adopting the above solution and setting up a swing-type distributor, the leakage and jamming phenomena of the same-layer material transfer flap-type distributor can be effectively avoided; the high power consumption of belt distributors, which are not suitable for occasions with too short a distributing distance, and the high investment brought about by adding an installation platform and dust removal are solved; the problems of heavy equipment, high failure rate and high investment of sliding distributors are avoided; in addition, the guide pipe is composed of two symmetrical parts, which can effectively prevent material accumulation and sticking.
[0015] This utility model discloses a swing distributor, further comprising a movable sealing cover installed on the end face of the distributor housing.
[0016] By adopting the above solution and using the movable sealing cover for maintenance, the tedious work of disassembling the entire distributor to replace easily damaged parts has been solved.
[0017] The present invention relates to a swing distributor. Further, the upper end of the swing distributor tube is equipped with a trunnion. One end of the trunnion passes through the distributor housing and rotates with the distributor housing. The end of the trunnion extending out of the distributor housing is connected to a transmission mechanism, which is used to drive the trunnion to rotate.
[0018] By adopting the above scheme, the transmission mechanism drives the swing distribution pipe to rotate in the vertical plane where the discharge port is located through the trunnion, and rotates the swing distribution pipe to the corresponding discharge port, so as to distribute the material into different systems according to the production requirements.
[0019] This utility model discloses a swing feeder, wherein the transmission mechanism is an electro-hydraulic push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0020] This utility model discloses a swing-type feeder, wherein the cross-section of the swing-type feeder tube is circular.
[0021] By adopting the above scheme, the cross-section of the oscillating distribution pipe is generally designed to be circular, which can effectively prevent material accumulation and sticking.
[0022] This utility model discloses a swing distributor. Further, the guide tube is provided with a rotating shaft on both sides of the swing direction of the swing distributor. The rotating shaft is connected to the half-pipe of the guide tube and is connected to the distributor housing, so as to realize the rotational cooperation between the guide tube and the distributor housing.
[0023] By adopting the above scheme, the rotating shaft is installed on the distributor housing, so that the two symmetrical guide pipes can rotate relative to the distributor housing, which can effectively prevent material accumulation and sticking.
[0024] The present invention relates to a swing feeder, wherein the guide tube is configured as a frustum shape.
[0025] By adopting the above scheme, the guide pipe is set in a frustum shape, which can effectively prevent material accumulation and sticking.
[0026] In this utility model, a swing feeder is further provided, wherein baffles are installed on the outer walls of the two halves of the guide tube, and the baffles are located at the lower end of the guide tube.
[0027] By adopting the above scheme, when the oscillating material distribution pipe swings to both sides, the stop block first contacts the oscillating material distribution pipe, which enables the oscillating material distribution pipe to drive the guide pipe to rotate, and also avoids the guide pipe directly contacting the oscillating material distribution pipe, thus protecting the guide pipe.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0029] 1. This application designs the guide pipe and the oscillating distribution pipe as a double oscillating type, and sets the guide pipe as two symmetrical halves. During material guiding, it can open according to the size of the material flow to avoid material jamming; and it can reduce the size of the oscillating distributor to a certain extent.
[0030] 2. The novel oscillating distributor of this application can effectively avoid material leakage and jamming in the same-layer material transfer flap-type distributor;
[0031] 3. The novel oscillating distributor of this application solves the problems of high power consumption of belt distributors, unsuitability for short dispensing distances, and high investment costs associated with adding an installation platform and dust removal.
[0032] 4. The novel oscillating distributor of this application avoids the problems of heavy equipment, high failure rate and high investment of sliding distributors;
[0033] 5. The new swing distributor of this application adopts a maintenance method with a movable sealing cover, which solves the tedious work of disassembling the entire distributor to replace vulnerable parts.
[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0042] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a swing feeder, comprising:
[0043] The distributor housing 1 is a closed structure with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The size of the inlet can be determined according to the characteristics of the material and the flow rate, and it is usually connected to the upstream equipment or chute by a flange. The size and distribution angle of the outlet can be determined according to the characteristics of the material and the flow rate, and it is usually connected to the downstream equipment or chute by a flange. At least two outlets are provided in the same vertical plane. This application uses three outlets as an example. Since the distributor housing 1 is basically not in contact with the material, there is no wear. A movable sealing cover is installed on the end face of the distributor housing 1. During maintenance, the movable sealing cover can be opened to replace the worn parts inside the distributor housing 1. There is no need to disassemble the entire distributor and the upper and lower connecting parts, which is convenient and time-saving.
[0044] The oscillating distribution pipe 5 is located inside the distributor housing 1. A trunnion 4 is mounted on its upper end, with one end of the trunnion 4 passing through the distributor housing 1 and rotatably engaging with it. The end of the trunnion 4 extending out of the distributor housing 1 is connected to a transmission mechanism. This transmission mechanism drives the oscillating distribution pipe 5 to rotate in the vertical plane where the discharge port is located via the trunnion 4, rotating the oscillating distribution pipe 5 to the corresponding discharge port. Materials are then distributed into different systems according to production requirements. Various liners can be hung inside the oscillating distribution pipe 5. The transmission mechanism can be an electro-hydraulic push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder working in conjunction with a crankshaft to rotate the trunnion, or it can be driven by a motor. The cross-section of the oscillating distribution pipe 5 is generally designed to be circular to effectively prevent material accumulation and adhesion. The rotation angle of the oscillating distribution pipe 5 is controlled by a limit switch, which in turn controls the drive stroke of the transmission mechanism.
[0045] The guide pipe 3 is installed at the inlet of the distributor housing 1, with its lower part inserted into the swing distributor pipe 5. The diameter of the lower part is smaller than the diameter of the swing distributor pipe 5. Its main function is to feed the material into the swing distributor pipe 5. The guide pipe 3 consists of two symmetrical half-pipes. The guide pipe 3 has a rotating shaft 2 on each side of the swing direction of the swing distributor pipe 5. The rotating shaft 2 can be connected to the guide pipe 3 through the lugs installed on the side of the guide pipe 3. The rotating shaft 2 is installed on the distributor housing 1, so that the two symmetrical parts of the guide pipe 3 can rotate relative to the distributor housing 1. Various liners can be hung inside the guide pipe 3. Composing the guide pipe 3 into two symmetrical parts can effectively prevent material accumulation and adhesion. The rotation of the guide pipe 3 is driven by the swing distributor pipe 5 and the material. The guide pipe 3 is generally designed in the shape of a frustum.
[0046] The two halves of the guide pipe 3 are equipped with baffles 6. When the oscillating distribution pipe 5 swings to both sides, the baffles 6 first contact the oscillating distribution pipe 5, which enables the oscillating distribution pipe 5 to drive the guide pipe 3 to rotate, and also prevents the guide pipe 3 from directly contacting the oscillating distribution pipe 5.
[0047] The workflow is as follows: When the system needs to discharge material, the material is input from the feed inlet, and output from the discharge outlet through the guide pipe 3 and the swing distribution pipe 5. When the system needs to discharge material to the left, the swing distribution pipe 5 rotates to the left around the trunnion 4, touches the left limit switch, stops and positions itself, and the guide pipe 3 is also driven to rotate to the left. At this time, the material is input from the feed inlet, and output from the left discharge outlet through the guide pipe 3 and the swing distribution pipe 5. The left half of the guide pipe 3 can be automatically lifted by the material flow rate. When the system needs to discharge material to the right, the swing distribution pipe 5 rotates to the right around the trunnion 4, touches the right limit switch and stops and positions itself. The guide pipe 3 is also driven to rotate to the right. At this time, the material is input from the feed inlet, and output from the right discharge outlet through the guide pipe 3 and the swing distribution pipe 5. The right half of the guide pipe 3 can be automatically lifted by the material flow rate. The above innovative swing distribution device can be operated on-site at the machine or remotely via AI intelligent operation.
[0048] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
