A Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN219522583U) discloses a concrete loading device, which has the effect of reducing concrete accumulation during the loading process.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned device still has some shortcomings in use: In the prior art, since the relevant structures of the drive structure are located inside the hopper, when these structures malfunction or are damaged, maintenance personnel need to enter the hopper for repairs. This not only increases the difficulty and complexity of maintenance, but also makes the maintenance process time-consuming and affects the efficiency of the entire loading operation. Therefore, an automatic loading hopper is proposed to address the above situation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where the drive structure is located inside the hopper, requiring maintenance personnel to enter the hopper for repairs when these structures malfunction or are damaged, resulting in significant maintenance difficulties. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic loading hopper.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic loading hopper includes a hopper mounting frame, on which a hopper is mounted, and the bottom of the hopper has a discharge port.
[0007] Two diversion plates that can block the discharge port are rotatably connected to the hopper. Both diversion plates have chamfers, and connecting blocks are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the diversion plates. The connecting blocks have hanging holes.
[0008] The hopper mounting frame is equipped with a support plate, and the support plate is equipped with two pairs of cylinders. The moving ends of the two pairs of cylinders are respectively connected to the corresponding diverter plates.
[0009] A pair of hanging mechanisms are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the hopper. The hanging mechanism includes a fixed plate that is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper. The bottom of the fixed plate is provided with a U-shaped block and a connecting part. The bottom of the connecting part is fixedly connected with a hook.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the support plate is provided with two pairs of mounting parts, and the bottom of the diverter plate is provided with a pair of mounting parts. The mounting parts include a pair of rectangular blocks provided on the support plate, and the fixed end and the moving end of the cylinder are both connected to the corresponding rectangular blocks.
[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the hopper is provided with two pairs of rotating parts, and a diverter plate is rotatably connected to one pair of rotating parts.
[0012] Preferably, the rotating component includes a tray, on which a rotating shaft is rotatably connected, and both sides of the diverter plate are connected to the rotating shaft.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting part is a stainless steel chain.
[0014] Preferably, the connecting part is a steel wire rope.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model, through the structural design of the support plate, mounting parts, and cylinder, places the drive structure that drives the diverter plate to rotate outside the hopper, which improves the convenience of maintenance. When the relevant structure malfunctions or is damaged, maintenance personnel do not need to enter the hopper mounting frame to directly repair the external drive structure, which not only reduces the difficulty of maintenance but also shortens the maintenance time, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire loading operation.
[0017] 2. This utility model, through the structural design of connecting block, fixing plate, U-shaped block, connecting part and hook, can limit the flow divider plate, effectively avoiding concrete leakage caused by damage to the drive structure, reducing material waste, and avoiding pollution and damage to the environment and equipment caused by leakage. At the same time, the chamfer on the flow divider plate allows the concrete remaining on the flow divider plate to slide off through the chamfer after the flow divider plate blocks the discharge port, preventing the concrete remaining on the flow divider plate from solidifying and affecting subsequent unloading operations.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 An automatic loading hopper includes a hopper mounting frame 1, a hopper 2 is mounted on the hopper mounting frame 1, the bottom of the hopper 2 has a discharge port, and the bottom of the hopper 2 is provided with a conical partition extending into the interior of the hopper 2.
[0025] Two diversion plates 4 that can block the discharge port are rotatably connected to the hopper 2. Specifically, two pairs of rotating parts 3 are provided on the outer surface of the hopper 2. A diversion plate 4 is rotatably connected to each pair of rotating parts 3. The rotating parts 3 include a support plate, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate. Both sides of the diversion plate 4 are connected to the rotating shaft.
[0026] Both of the two diversion plates 4 have chamfers 401. When the diversion plate 4 blocks the discharge port, the concrete remaining on the diversion plate 4 can slide off through the chamfers 401, thus preventing the concrete remaining on the diversion plate 4 from solidifying and affecting subsequent unloading operations.
[0027] A connecting block 402 is provided on both outer walls of a pair of diverter plates 4, and a hanging hole 4020 is provided on the connecting block 402.
[0028] The hopper mounting frame 1 is equipped with a support plate 101, and the support plate 101 is equipped with two pairs of cylinders 6, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the support plate 101 is provided with two pairs of mounting parts 5, and the bottom of the diverter plate 4 is provided with a pair of mounting parts 5. The mounting parts 5 include a pair of rectangular blocks provided on the support plate 101. The fixed end and the moving end of the cylinder 6 are both connected to the corresponding rectangular blocks, and the moving ends of the two pairs of cylinders 6 are respectively connected to the corresponding diverter plates 4.
[0029] The drive structure that drives the diverter plate 4 to rotate is located outside the hopper 2, which improves the convenience of maintenance. When the relevant structure malfunctions or is damaged, maintenance personnel can directly repair the external drive structure without entering the hopper mounting frame 1. This not only reduces the difficulty of maintenance but also shortens the maintenance time, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire loading operation.
[0030] Both sides of the outer wall of the hopper 2 are equipped with a pair of hanging mechanisms 7. The hanging mechanism 7 includes a fixing plate 701 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper 2. The bottom of the fixing plate 701 is respectively provided with a U-shaped block 702 and a connecting part 703. The bottom of the connecting part 703 is fixedly connected with a hook 704. Specifically, the connecting part 703 is a stainless steel chain or steel wire rope. When the cylinder 6 is damaged and the diverter plate 4 cannot be rotated and opened, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hook 704 is removed from the U-shaped block 702, and then the hook 704 is passed through the hook hole 4020 and hooked onto the connecting block 402 to fix the diverter plate 4. At this time, the staff can disassemble and repair the damaged cylinder 6, which effectively avoids the concrete leakage problem caused by the damage to the drive structure, reduces material waste, and avoids pollution and damage to the environment and equipment caused by leakage.
[0031] All electrical equipment in this device is connected to an external power source and switch.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
