Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of screw conveyor technology, and in particular to a user-friendly material conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of pet nutritional supplements (powder), after the powder mixing process is completed, a filling machine is needed to dispense the powder into plastic bottles. The hopper of the filling machine is usually located at the top of the equipment. When filling the nutritional supplement into the hopper of the filling machine, a material conveyor is needed to transport the nutritional supplement into the hopper of the filling machine.

[0003] Among related technologies, Chinese invention patent with patent number CN104891118A discloses a new type of screw conveyor, including a frame, a hopper, and a screw trough connected below the hopper. In use, the material is poured into the hopper, and then the screw trough is started. The material will slide from the hopper into the screw trough under its own gravity, and then be conveyed to the top of the screw trough for output.

[0004] In actual production, it has been found that different types of nutritional supplements are bottled using different models of filling machines. The hopper positions of different models of filling machines are at different heights, while the discharge port position of the spiral feeder is fixed. When filling powdered nutritional supplements into a filling machine with a lower hopper position, the large height difference causes the powdered nutritional supplements to drift into the air, resulting in pollution and waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate material transport, this application provides a user-friendly material conveyor that can be easily connected to a packaging machine.

[0006] This application provides a user-friendly material conveyor with the following technical solution:

[0007] A convenient material conveyor includes a frame, a hopper, and a conveying pipe connected to the lower end of the hopper. The conveying pipe is inclined, and a screw rod is coaxially rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe. A drive unit for driving the screw rod to rotate is fixed below the hopper, and a discharge port is provided at the upper end of the conveying pipe. The hopper is rotatably fixed to the frame, and the rotation axis of the hopper is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axis of the conveying pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the hopper is rotated on the frame. During use, the hopper can be rotated according to the height of the dispensing machine, and the height of the discharge port of the conveying pipe can be adjusted to facilitate compatibility with the dispensing machine, thereby reducing the risk of powder material leakage.

[0009] Optionally, a rotating shaft is fixed on the side wall of the hopper along the rotation axis. Two rotating shafts are provided and symmetrically fixed at both ends of the hopper. A bearing seat is fixed on the frame corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably fixed on the bearing seat.

The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0011] Optionally, a shock-absorbing pad is fixed between the bearing housing and the frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a shock-absorbing pad between the bearing housing and the frame, the vibration transmission of the drive component to the frame can be effectively reduced.

[0013] Optionally, the frame is provided with a locking assembly for locking the angle of the hopper.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a locking component, when it is necessary to rotate and adjust the angle of the hopper, the locking screw can be loosened to rotate the hopper. When it is rotated to the appropriate angle, the locking screw is tightened, and the locking screw abuts against the locking rod to lock the hopper, thereby improving the stability of the hopper.

[0015] Optionally, the locking screw can be configured as a handle bolt.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking screw is set as a handle bolt, which facilitates manual operation.

[0017] Optionally, a flexible hose is slidably fitted at the discharge port.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible hose facilitates the connection between the discharge port and the dispensing machine.

[0019] Optionally, casters are installed at the bottom of the frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to move the material conveyor to the required location.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By rotating the hopper on the frame, the hopper can be rotated according to the height of the dispensing machine during use, and the height of the discharge port of the conveying pipe can be adjusted to facilitate compatibility with the dispensing machine, thereby reducing the risk of powder material leakage;

[0023] 2. By symmetrically setting rotating shafts on both sides of the hopper and fixing the rotating shafts to the frame through bearing seats, the rotational connection between the hopper and the frame is realized. The structure is simple and easy to install. The shock-absorbing pads are set between the bearing seats and the frame, which can effectively reduce the vibration transmission of the drive components to the frame.

[0024] 3. By setting a locking component, when it is necessary to rotate and adjust the angle of the hopper, the locking screw can be loosened to rotate the hopper. When the hopper is rotated to the appropriate angle, the locking screw is tightened. The locking screw abuts against the locking rod to lock the hopper and improve the stability of the hopper.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a user-friendly material conveyor, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a frame 1, a hopper 2, a conveying pipe 31, a screw rod 32, and a drive unit 33. The hopper 2 is mounted on the frame 1. The conveying pipe 31 is inclinedly connected to the lower end of the hopper 2, and a discharge port 311 is provided at the upper end of the conveying pipe 31. The screw rod 32 is coaxially and rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 31. The drive unit 33 is a motor, fixed below the hopper 2, and its output end is connected to the screw rod 32. In use, material is poured into the hopper 2, and the drive unit 33 drives the screw rod 32 to rotate, simultaneously causing the hopper 2 to vibrate, allowing the material to slide into the conveying pipe 31. The screw rod 32 then outputs the material from the discharge port 311.

[0030] Two rotating shafts 21 are welded and fixed to the outer wall of the hopper 2, symmetrically fixed on both sides of the hopper 2, with the axis of the rotating shafts 21 horizontally positioned. Bearing seats 11 are bolted to the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the rotating shafts 21, and the rotating shafts 21 are inserted into and rotatably connected to the bearing seats 11. Rubber shock-absorbing pads 12 are placed between the bearing seats 11 and the frame 1 to reduce vibration transmission between the hopper 2 and the frame 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A locking assembly 4 for fixing the position of the hopper 2 is provided on the side of the hopper 2 away from the conveying pipe 31. The locking assembly 4 includes a locking rod 41, a sleeve 42, and a locking screw. The end of the locking rod 41 is hinged to the frame 1, and the end of the sleeve 42 is hinged to the hopper 2. The locking rod 41 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 42, and the rotation axis of the locking rod 41 and the sleeve 42 is parallel to the rotation axis of the hopper 2. The locking screw is screwed onto the sleeve 42, and the end of the locking screw abuts against the locking rod 41. The locking screw is set as a handle bolt 43 for easy tightening.

[0032] When using it, first loosen the handle bolt 43, then rotate the hopper 2 to adjust the height of the discharge port 311, connect the discharge port 311 of the conveying pipe 31 with the dispensing equipment, and then tighten the handle bolt 43 to lock the position of the hopper 2.

[0033] A flexible hose 312 is slidably fitted at the discharge port 311. When the height of the discharge port 311 is adjusted by rotating the hopper 2, it is impossible to accurately control the complete engagement of the discharge port 311 with the dispensing equipment. The flexible hose 312 can be slid to extend the discharge port 311 and transport the material into the dispensing equipment, thereby preventing the powder material from scattering.

[0034] Casters 5 are installed at the bottom of the frame 1 to facilitate moving the equipment to the required location.

[0035] The implementation principle of a convenient material conveyor disclosed in this application is as follows: by rotating the hopper 2 on the frame 1 and sliding the flexible hose 312 at the discharge port 311 of the conveying pipe 31, the height of the discharge port 311 can be adjusted by rotating the hopper 2 according to the height of the packaging machine. With the help of the flexible hose 312, the material can be accurately and leak-free conveyed into the packaging machine, thereby reducing material leakage and lowering costs.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
