Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of port conveying devices, specifically to an electric rotating three-way device for bulk cargo chutes. Background Technology

[0002] In existing bulk cargo terminal conveyor tee structures, a flap mechanism is commonly used, with the material conveying direction changed by controlling an electric push rod to rotate the flap. This structure is simple and low-cost, but it has some obvious problems: First, the flap mechanism easily leads to material accumulation, especially at the tee, where material tends to pile up, affecting conveying efficiency. Second, in the low-temperature environment of northern winters, material freezes above the flap, preventing it from opening properly and causing damage to the electric push rod, ultimately requiring manual operation. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases safety hazards.

[0003] Furthermore, the frequent use and damage of electric actuators increase maintenance costs and operational risks. Therefore, a new T-junction design is needed to avoid material accumulation and freezing problems while improving system reliability and safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric rotating tee device for bulk cargo chutes, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the easy accumulation and freezing of materials in the existing flap-type tee structure of bulk cargo terminal belt conveyors, which leads to damage to the electric push rod, reduced production efficiency, and increased safety hazards.

The two funnel swing shafts are respectively matched and installed with two bearing seats. The bottom of the funnel body has an arc-shaped discharge port that matches the shape of the bifurcated discharge guide plate. A variable amplitude mechanism is connected to the side wall of the funnel body.

[0010] Furthermore, the bifurcated discharge guide plate is arc-shaped, and a guide plate discharge port larger than the discharge port of the swing funnel is provided on both sides of its lowest point.

[0011] Furthermore, the luffing mechanism includes a luffing support, and a hydraulic cylinder is provided between the luffing support and the funnel body. The two ends of the hydraulic cylinder are respectively hinged to the luffing support and the funnel body via a rotating shaft. The hydraulic cylinder is also connected to a hydraulic station provided on the platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking device includes two locking brackets respectively positioned below two steel lifting lugs on the platform. The locking brackets are C-shaped and have a locking cylinder at the top. The piston rod of the locking cylinder passes through the top plate of the locking bracket and is connected to a locking pin that can be inserted into the locking through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the oscillating funnel is provided with multiple dustproof skirts.
