Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a container-type feeding hopper and packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, maritime trade between countries has become increasingly frequent. To facilitate the rapid loading of bulk materials onto ships or their transport over land, they are often bagged and packaged directly at the docks. However, due to the more complex flow of goods and people at docks compared to ordinary packaging workshops, the larger volume of goods, and greater space constraints, ordinary packaging equipment is difficult to apply directly to dock packaging. Therefore, how to save space occupied by packaging equipment while ensuring or improving packaging efficiency has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a container-type feeding hopper that can be fed from both sides to ensure feeding efficiency and thus packaging efficiency, while both sides can also be retracted to reduce its space occupation.

[0004] Therefore, according to the first aspect, the present invention provides a container-type feeding hopper, comprising:

[0005] The box-type mounting rack has two opposing loading sides among its four sides;

[0006] The feeding hopper is installed inside the box-type mounting frame, and a hopper tilting side plate is provided on both feeding sides. The bottom of the hopper tilting side plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box-type mounting frame. Both hopper tilting side plates can be constricted to the plane of the corresponding feeding side side wall, and can also be rotated outward to form a preset angle with the plane of the corresponding feeding side side wall, so that a feeding port is formed between the top of the hopper tilting side plate and the top of the box-type mounting frame.

[0007] The bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame is provided with at least one discharge port.

[0008] Optionally, the feeding hopper may also include:

[0009] Two hopper fixed side plates are fixed inside the box-type mounting frame and are located between the two hopper tilting side plates; and the two hopper fixed side plates are respectively set to correspond to the two sides of the hopper tilting side plates.

[0010] Four hopper extension plates are connected to the four sides of two hopper tilting side plates respectively. When the hopper tilting side plate rotates outward to form a preset angle with the plane of the corresponding feeding side wall, the hopper extension plate overlaps with the corresponding hopper fixing side plate and extends outward along the corresponding hopper fixing side plate.

[0011] Optionally, two sets of discharge ports are provided corresponding to the two hopper tilting side plates.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame is also provided with a material dividing ridge. The material dividing ridge is located between two sets of material discharge ports, and the two sides of the material dividing ridge form material dividing slopes corresponding to the two sets of material discharge ports. The material dividing slopes gradually approach the edge of the corresponding material discharge port as they approach the bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame.

[0013] Optionally, the hopper extension plate is rotatably connected to the hopper tilting side plate.

[0014] Optionally, the hopper extension plate includes a first plate and a second plate, the first plate being rotatably connected to the hopper tilting side plate, and the second plate being rotatably connected to the top of the first plate.

[0015] Optionally, the containerized feeding hopper may also include:

[0016] Two winch mechanisms are fixed on a box-type mounting frame, and their output ends are respectively connected to the top of the two hopper tilting side plates; the winch mechanisms are used to unwind to make the corresponding hopper tilting side plate rotate outward or to rewind to make the corresponding hopper tilting side plate retract.

[0017] Optionally, the four sides of the box-type mounting frame also include an operating side, which is located between the two feeding sides; the operating side is equipped with an operating tower, and the top of the box-type mounting frame is equipped with a material discharge partition.

[0018] According to the second aspect, the present invention also provides a packaging device, wherein the feeding hopper of the packaging device is a container-type feeding hopper of the first aspect or any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] The container-type feeding hopper provided by this utility model has a box-shaped mounting frame with flip-up side plates on both feeding sides of the hopper within the frame. Both flip-up side plates can be retracted or rotated outwards. This allows the container-type feeding hopper to have a non-feeding state when both flip-up side plates are retracted to the corresponding feeding side wall, a semi-feeding state when one flip-up side plate is rotated outwards to the feeding side wall, and a full-feeding state when both flip-up side plates are rotated outwards to the feeding side wall. This not only meets the needs of rapid packaging (full-feeding state) but also saves space when the packaging speed requirement is relatively low (semi-feeding state) and when no work is required (non-feeding state), making it highly practical.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Figures 1-3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the container-type loading hopper provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the container-type loading hopper in this embodiment includes a box-type mounting frame 1 and a loading hopper 2.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 The box-type mounting frame 1 includes two feeding sides and one operating side among its four sides. The two feeding sides are arranged opposite to each other, and the operating side is located between the two feeding sides (the side opposite to the operating side can be used as the discharge side; the material discharged through the container-type feeding hopper in this embodiment is packaged using packaging bags, and the packaged material can be transported out through the discharge side).

[0042] Specifically, in order to increase the length of the feeding opening of hopper 2, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feeding side can be set to the side where the long side of the box-type mounting frame 1 is located, and correspondingly, the operating side and the discharge side are the sides where the short side is located.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 The feeding hopper 2 is installed inside the box-type mounting frame 1, and hopper tilting side plates 21 are provided on both feeding sides. The bottom of the hopper tilting side plates 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box-type mounting frame 1. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, both hopper tilting side plates 21 can be constricted to the plane of the corresponding feeding side wall, and can also be rotated outward to form a preset angle with the plane of the corresponding feeding side wall, so that a feeding port is formed between the top of the hopper tilting side plate 21 and the top of the box-type mounting frame 1. Figure 1 (The example is illustrated by having both hopper tilting side plates 21 rotate outwards).

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1A tower platform 12 can be set on the operating side of the box-type mounting frame 1 to facilitate the operator to put materials into the feeding port; a discharge partition 13 can also be set on the top of the box-type mounting frame 1. At this time, the materials to be packaged can be stacked on the discharge partition 13, and the operator can climb up the discharge partition 13 from the tower platform 12 to put the materials into the feeding hopper 2.

[0045] Specifically, telescopic plates can be provided on both sides of the hopper tilting side plate 21 so that they can be retracted synchronously when the hopper tilting side plate 21 is retracted, and extended when the hopper tilting side plate 21 is rotated outward to enclose the hopper tilting side plate 21 and form a hopper with a large internal volume.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding hopper 2 can also include two fixed side plates 22 and four extended side plates 23. The two fixed side plates 22 are fixed within the box-type mounting frame 1 and are located between the two tilting side plates 21, with each fixed side plate 22 corresponding to one of the two sides of the tilting side plate 21. The four extended side plates 23 are connected to the four sides of the two tilting side plates 21. When the tilting side plate 21 is rotated outward to form a preset angle with the plane of the corresponding feeding side wall, the extended side plates 23 overlap with the corresponding fixed side plates 22 and extend outward along the corresponding fixed side plates 22. At this time, the fixed side plates 22, extended side plates 23, and tilting side plates 21 together form a feeding hopper.

[0047] At this point, those skilled in the art should understand that when the hopper tilting side plate 21 is confined to the plane of the corresponding feeding side wall, the hopper extension plate 23 corresponding to the hopper tilting side plate 21 is confined within the box-type mounting frame 1, and the hopper extension plate 23 is stacked on the corresponding hopper fixing side plate 22.

[0048] In specific implementation, a limiting mechanism can be set on the box-type mounting frame 1, or the rotation axis of the hopper tilting side plate 21 can be set as a rotation axis with a limiting angle to limit the rotation angle of the hopper tilting side plate 21 and prevent the hopper outer extension plate 23 from detaching from the hopper fixing side plate 22.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the discharge port of the container-type loading hopper can be one located in the middle of the bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame 1, or it can have two sets of discharge ports 11 corresponding to the two hopper tilting side plates 21, and each set of discharge ports 11 can be one or more. Figure 3 (The example shown is of two groups of feed inlets 11, with two feed inlets 11 in each group).

[0050] As an optional specific implementation, in order to facilitate the retraction and outward rotation of the hopper tilting side plate 21, while ensuring the tightness of the overlap between the hopper extension plate 23 and the hopper fixed side plate 22, the hopper extension plate 23 can be rotatably connected to the hopper tilting side plate 21. In this case, during the retraction and outward rotation of the hopper tilting side plate 21, no jamming or obstruction will occur between the hopper extension plate 23 and the hopper fixed side plate 22 (and even if this occurs, it can be easily solved by rotating the hopper extension plate 23). During the feeding process via the upper hopper, no gap will occur between the hopper extension plate 23 and the hopper fixed side plate 22 (and even if this occurs, it can also be easily solved by rotating the hopper extension plate 23) to prevent material leakage.

[0051] As an optional specific implementation, in order to further facilitate the retraction and outward rotation of the hopper tilting side plate 21, prevent the hopper extension plate 23 from scraping the top of the box-type mounting frame 1 due to the change in angle during this process, and at the same time ensure the height of the hopper extension plate 23, thereby ensuring the volume of the feeding space, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hopper extension plate 23 can be configured to include a first plate 231 and a second plate 232. The first plate 231 is rotatably connected to the hopper tilting side plate 21, and the second plate 232 is rotatably connected to the top end of the first plate 231. In a specific implementation, the rotation axis between the first plate 231 and the second plate 232 can be configured as a rotation axis with a limiting angle, and when it reaches the maximum rotation angle, the second plate 232 and the first plate 231 are in the same plane.

[0052] As an optional specific implementation method, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the container-type loading hopper in this embodiment may also include two winch mechanisms 3, the output ends of which are respectively connected to the top ends of the two hopper tilting side plates 21; the winch mechanism 3 is used to unwind to make the corresponding hopper tilting side plate 21 rotate outward or to rewind to make the corresponding hopper tilting side plate 21 retract.

[0053] As an optional specific implementation, in order to prevent materials from piling up on the box-type mounting frame 1 and leaking out, thus affecting the feeding efficiency of the container-type loading hopper in this embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a material dividing ridge 14 can be provided on the bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame 1. The material dividing ridge 14 is located between two sets of discharge ports 11, and material dividing slopes corresponding to the two sets of discharge ports 11 are formed on both sides of the material dividing ridge 14. The material dividing slopes gradually approach the edge of the corresponding discharge port 11 as they approach the bottom plate of the box-type mounting frame 1.

[0054] In summary, the container-type feeding hopper in this embodiment, by setting the mounting frame as a box structure and setting the feeding hopper 2 inside the box mounting frame 1 to have flip-up side plates on both feeding sides of the box mounting frame 1, and setting both flip-up side plates to be retracted or rotated outward, allows the container-type feeding hopper to have a non-feeding state when both hopper flip-up side plates 21 are retracted to the side wall of the corresponding feeding side, a half-feeding state when one hopper flip-up side plate 21 is rotated outward to the side wall of the feeding side, and a full-feeding state when both hopper flip-up side plates 21 are rotated outward to the side wall of the feeding side. This not only meets the needs of rapid packaging (full-feeding state), but also saves space when the packaging speed requirement is relatively low (half-feeding state) and when no work is required (non-feeding state), making it highly practical.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] This embodiment provides a packaging device, wherein the feeding hopper 2 in the packaging device is a container-type feeding hopper of any of the embodiments of embodiment 1 described above.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a possible specific structure of the packaging equipment in this embodiment. As shown, a box 4 can be set below the container-type feeding hopper, and a weighing and dispensing mechanism 5, a sewing mechanism 6, and a conveying mechanism 7 can be set inside the box 4, so that the packaging equipment in this embodiment has a hierarchical structure in the vertical direction, further saving the space occupied by the equipment.

[0058] In specific implementation, a bag conveying mechanism 8 can also be set on the discharge side of the box 4 (corresponding to the discharge side of the box-type mounting frame 1 in the above embodiment 1) to convey the packaged material package to the designated location.

[0059] In practice, a control room can be separated inside the housing 4, and a control mechanism 9 can be installed in the control room (to control the operation of the weighing and batching mechanism 5, the sewing mechanism 6, the conveying mechanism 7, and the bag conveying mechanism 8, etc.).

[0060] In practice, corresponding to the two sets of discharge ports 11 on the box-type mounting frame 1, the weighing and batching mechanism 5, the sewing mechanism 6, the conveying mechanism 7, and the bag conveying mechanism 8 can all be set to two sets.

[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
