Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of container hoppers, specifically a double cone hopper. Background Technology
[0002] In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, some equipment produces a viscous substance after reaction. This substance is relatively expensive. When discharging, ordinary conical or rectangular hoppers are used to catch it. However, because the drop position is uncertain at the top of the ordinary hopper, some of the substance adheres to the hopper wall when the material is placed around the perimeter. Over time, this can cause significant losses to the company. Therefore, a new type of hopper needs to be designed to facilitate transportation and material discharge. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-cone hopper to solve the problem mentioned in the background art. Currently, the hoppers on the market have an uncertain drop position at the top of ordinary hoppers, which causes some material to adhere to the cylinder wall when the material is placed around the perimeter of the hopper. Over time, this will cause considerable losses to the company. Therefore, a new type of hopper is needed to facilitate transportation and material discharge.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a double cone hopper, comprising a hopper body, which includes an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder. Control valves are symmetrically arranged at the lower positions of the outer sides of the upper cylinder. The lower cylinder is installed at the bottom of the control valves. The interior of the lower cylinder penetrates the upper cylinder above it.
[0005] The bottom of the lower cylinder is integrally mounted with a fixed base plate, and the bottom of the fixed base plate is equipped with casters for moving the entire hopper. The bottom of the upper cylinder is integrally mounted with a guide cone for guiding the material feeding.
[0006] Preferably, the upper cylinder has a feed inlet at the top center and the bottom two sides of the upper cylinder are connected to the control valve.
[0007] Preferably, an installation plate is integrally installed on the top of the lower cylinder, the installation plate being used to fit against the bottom of the control valve, and the lower cylinder and the control valve are installed together by fastening bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the upper and lower cylinders are the same size, both are rectangular in shape, and both have polished inner walls. The guide cone inside the upper cylinder has an isosceles triangular cross-section.
[0009] Preferably, the control valve includes an outer fixed cover, a connecting cover, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic baffle, and an inclined plate. The outer fixed cover has a U-shaped cross-section and a connecting cover that engages with it. The outer fixed cover and the connecting cover are welded together after engaging.
[0010] Preferably, the interior of the connecting cover is a through structure, and a telescopic baffle is provided inside the through structure. The outer side of the telescopic baffle is connected to the inner wall of the outer fixed cover through a telescopic cylinder, and an inclined plate connected to the top of the telescopic baffle is also provided thereto.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the double cone hopper has a feed inlet at the center of the top of the upper cylinder. When the material falls through the feed inlet at the center, it will be guided by the guide cone and the inclined plate in the early stage, thus ensuring that the material can fall in the center. This ensures that a large amount of material will not stick to the hopper wall during the falling process, thus ensuring that the material can be fully utilized and no waste will occur.
[0012] The bottom of the lower cylinder is equipped with casters, which allow for flexible displacement according to the location of use on site. This solves the problem of material adhesion and also serves as a transportation device, achieving two goals at once and meeting the usage requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a double cone hopper, including a hopper body, which includes an upper cylinder 1 and a lower cylinder 2. Control valves 4 are symmetrically arranged at the lower positions of the outer sides of the upper cylinder 1. The lower cylinder 2 is installed at the bottom of the control valves 4. The interior of the lower cylinder 2 and the upper cylinder 1 above it are interconnected.
[0021] The bottom of the lower cylinder 2 is integrally installed with a fixed base plate 3, and the bottom of the fixed base plate 3 is equipped with a movable universal wheel 7 for moving the entire hopper. The bottom of the upper cylinder 1 is integrally installed with a guide cone 6 in the middle position for guiding the material feeding.
[0022] The upper cylinder 1 has a feed inlet 11 at the top center and the bottom two sides of the upper cylinder 1 are connected to the control valve 4.
[0023] This application provides a double-cone hopper with a guide cone 6. Specifically, during use, the entire hopper body is moved to the bottom of the external equipment by moving the casters 7. Then, the material is controlled to enter the upper cylinder 1 through the feed inlet 11. After that, the control valves 4 on both sides of the upper cylinder 1 are activated. With the help of the guide cone 6, the material is squeezed through the guide cone 6 and falls at the position of the control valve 4, ensuring that there is no serious adhesion of material on the outer wall of the upper cylinder 1.
[0024] Among them, according to Figure 2-3 As shown, an installation plate 21 is integrally installed on the top of the lower cylinder 2. The installation plate 21 is used to fit against the bottom of the control valve 4. The lower cylinder 2 and the control valve 4 are installed by fastening bolts 5.
[0025] Specifically, when installing the lower cylinder 2, the mounting plate 21 at the top of the lower cylinder 2 needs to be attached to the bottom of the control valve 4. During installation, the lower cylinder 2 and the upper cylinder 1 need to be aligned and connected. Then, use the external fastening bolts 5 to fix the lower cylinder 2 to the outer edge of the control valve 4.
[0026] Furthermore, according to Figure 2-4As shown, the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 2 are the same size, and both the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 2 are rectangular in shape. The inner walls of both the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 2 are polished. The guide cone 6 inside the upper cylinder 1 has an isosceles triangular cross section.
[0027] Specifically, during the descent, the material is guided by the guide cone 6 in the middle of the upper cylinder 1 to the top of the control valve 4. Activating the control valve 4 then completes the material feeding process. Since the inner walls of both the upper cylinder 1 and the lower cylinder 2 are polished, it ensures that there will be no severe material adhesion.
[0028] Furthermore, according to Figure 2-5 As shown, the control valve 4 includes an outer fixed cover 41, a connecting cover 42, a telescopic cylinder 43, a telescopic baffle 44, and an inclined plate 45. The outer fixed cover 41 has a U-shaped cross-section and a connecting cover 42 that engages with it. The outer fixed cover 41 and the connecting cover 42 are welded together after engaging.
[0029] The interior of the connecting cover 42 is a through structure, and a telescopic baffle 44 is provided inside the through structure. The outer side of the telescopic baffle 44 is connected to the inner wall of the outer fixed cover 41 through a telescopic cylinder 43. An inclined plate 45 connected to the top of the telescopic baffle 44 is also provided thereto.
[0030] Specifically, when the control valve 4 is activated, the telescopic cylinder 43 is activated, causing the telescopic baffle 44 at its top to move back and forth, blocking and penetrating the discharge ports on both sides of the guide cone 6, thereby achieving the effect of blocking and discharging. Since the top of the telescopic baffle 44 is provided with an inclined plate 45, it can guide the material after it has been guided by the guide cone 6 again, ensuring that the material does not come into contact with the inner wall of the upper cylinder 1, thereby achieving the effect of thorough discharging. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
