Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chute technology, specifically to a broken glass transfer chute. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used conveying component in industrial material transfer, a chute is a device that uses the material's own weight and its inclined or specially constructed trough structure to guide the material along a predetermined route to achieve the transfer purpose. In a crushed glass processing production line, the chute plays an indispensable and crucial connecting role, responsible for accurately and efficiently transferring the crushed glass from upstream equipment (such as the crusher outlet) to downstream belt conveyors or other receiving devices, ensuring the continuity and stability of material flow throughout the entire production process.

[0003] However, the unique properties of broken glass itself pose a significant challenge to the normal operation of chutes. Broken glass is hard, irregularly shaped, and has sharp edges and corners. During long-term, continuous transport, the high-speed impact and frequent friction of the material as it slides down the chute inevitably cause severe wear. This wear is not uniform; extensive practical observation and statistical analysis have revealed that the bottom and sides of the bottom of the chute suffer the most significant damage, making them typical "disaster areas." The bottom bears the heavy pressure and sliding friction of the broken glass over a long period, while the sides suffer from continuous thinning and structural weakness due to frequent collisions and scraping as the broken glass slides down. Currently, the common approach to severe wear or leaks is to replace the entire chute. Frequent chute replacements significantly increase operating costs, compress profit margins, and raise the overall cost of broken glass processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a broken glass transfer chute, which solves the problem in related technologies that when the chute is severely worn or leaks electricity, the entire chute must be replaced, which greatly increases the cost of use.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A broken glass transfer chute includes a U-shaped trough. A main wear-resistant plate is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped trough, which abuts against the bottom of the U-shaped trough. Side wear-resistant plates are provided on both sides of the main wear-resistant plate, which abut against the bottom of the U-shaped trough. The feed end of the U-shaped trough is provided with a fixing structure for fixing one end of the main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a fixing frame, several fixing holes, and several fixing components. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the feed end of the U-shaped trough. The main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plate are inserted into the U-shaped trough from the fixing frame. One end of the main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plate is embedded in the fixing frame. The fixing holes are located on the fixing frame and penetrate the fixing frame, the main wear-resistant plate, and the side wear-resistant plate. The fixing components are embedded in the fixing holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the discharge end of the U-shaped trough is provided with a limiting structure for fixing the other end of the main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a baffle and several limiting members. The baffle is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the U-shaped trough. The ends of the main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plate facing the discharge end of the U-shaped trough abut against the baffle. The limiting members pass through the baffle and are embedded in the end of the main wear-resistant plate or the side wear-resistant plate facing the discharge end of the U-shaped trough.

[0010] Furthermore, a buffer plate is abutting between the main wear-resistant plate, the side wear-resistant plate and the U-shaped groove, and the buffer plate is fixed to the U-shaped groove by a fixing structure.

[0011] Furthermore, both the main wear-resistant plate and the side wear-resistant plate are provided with an auxiliary handle protrusion at the end opposite to the discharge end of the U-shaped trough. The auxiliary handle protrusion is fixedly connected to the main wear-resistant plate or the side wear-resistant plate, and the auxiliary handle extends out of the fixed structure.

[0012] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention abandons the high-cost practice of replacing the entire chute once severe wear or leakage occurs. When the main wear-resistant plate and side wear-resistant plate are worn or even damaged due to long-term friction and collision with broken glass, the convenient fixed structure at the feed end allows for targeted disassembly and replacement of only the severely worn wear-resistant plate. This operation is convenient and the cost is far lower than replacing the entire chute. It effectively solves the problem of excessively high overall operating costs and reduced production efficiency caused by chute wear in the prior art, ensuring stable, efficient, and economical operation of the broken glass transfer process.

[0020] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a broken glass transfer chute, including a U-shaped trough 1, a main wear-resistant plate 2 at the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1, the main wear-resistant plate 2 abutting against the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1, side wear-resistant plates 3 on both sides of the main wear-resistant plate 2, the side wear-resistant plates 3 abutting against the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1, and a fixing structure for fixing one end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plates 3 at the feed end of the U-shaped trough 1.

[0022] The U-shaped trough 1 serves as the basic framework of the entire broken glass transfer chute, providing a sliding channel for the broken glass. Its U-shaped design conforms to the natural accumulation and flow characteristics of the broken glass material, effectively gathering and guiding the broken glass to move towards the discharge end in a predetermined direction, while also supporting other auxiliary wear-resistant structural components. The main wear-resistant plate 2 directly bears the main impact and friction of the broken glass during the sliding process. Because the bottom is the area that bears the weight of the material and experiences the most concentrated continuous sliding friction during material transfer, the main wear-resistant plate 2, as the first line of defense, uses its excellent wear resistance to resist the erosion and wear of the broken glass on the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1. The side wear-resistant plates 3 address the problem of frequent collisions and scrapes from broken glass on both sides of the chute bottom. Due to the irregular movement of the broken glass, the probability of collision is high and the force is concentrated here. The side wear-resistant plates 3 can absorb and dissipate this kind of lateral impact and friction, protecting the structural integrity of both sides of the trough. The fixed structure firmly locks one end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 at the feeding end, ensuring that the wear-resistant plates will not shift or warp when subjected to the impact and friction of broken glass, and ensuring that the wear-resistant plates are always tightly attached to the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1 to perform protective function.

[0023] In this embodiment, the fixing structure includes a fixing frame 4, a plurality of fixing holes 41, and a plurality of fixing members 42. The fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the feeding end of the U-shaped trough 1. The main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 are inserted into the U-shaped trough 1 from the fixing frame 4. One end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 is embedded in the fixing frame 4. The fixing holes 41 are located on the fixing frame 4 and penetrate the fixing frame 4, the main wear-resistant plate 2, and the side wear-resistant plate 3. The fixing members 42 are embedded in the fixing holes 41.

[0024] The fixing frame 4, as a key frame component for supporting and positioning the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3, is tightly fixedly connected to the feed end of the U-shaped trough 1, forming a stable and standardized installation base. It defines the initial position and angle of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 when inserted into the U-shaped trough 1, ensuring that they are precisely positioned and tightly fitted to the corresponding area at the bottom of the U-shaped trough 1. This effectively resists external force interference generated by material impact and friction, preventing the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 from shifting, shaking, or tilting during operation. On the one hand, the standardized design of the fixing frame 4 simplifies the installation process of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3, providing a standardized operating framework for subsequent batch assembly, maintenance, and replacement, thus improving operational efficiency. On the other hand, its robust connection characteristics enhance the structural strength of the entire chute feed end, distributing some of the material impact force and ensuring that even with frequent impacts from broken glass during long-term use, the structure of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 remaining stable and reliable with the trough, extending the overall service life of the equipment. Several fixing holes 41 are distributed on the fixing frame 4 to achieve through-fixing of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3. The layout of multiple fixing holes 41 forms a multi-point constraint mechanism, evenly distributing the fastening stress and avoiding local structural damage caused by single-point overload. This distributed fixing ensures that the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 remain stable even under complex stress conditions (such as uneven impact and vibration from broken glass), improving the stability and reliability of the entire protective structure. Moreover, the clear and intuitive setting of fixing holes 41 makes it convenient for daily inspection personnel to quickly check the status of the fasteners 42 and promptly detect potential loosening. The fastener 42, as a key component for achieving the fastening effect, is embedded in the fixing hole 41. By tightly fitting with the fixing hole 41 (which can be done by bolt and nut, pin insertion, etc.), pressure and friction are applied at the physical level, firmly "binding" the main wear-resistant plate 2, the side wear-resistant plate 3 and the fixing frame 4 together to form a rigid connection assembly. This allows the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 to fit tightly against the bottom and sides of the U-shaped groove 1, maintaining their original position when directly impacted and rubbed by broken glass, thus fully exerting their wear resistance performance.

[0025] In this embodiment, a limiting structure is provided at the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1 to fix the other end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3. The limiting structure includes a baffle 5 and several limiting members 51. The baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1. The end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 facing the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1 abuts against the baffle 5. The limiting members 51 pass through the baffle 5 and are embedded in the end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 or the side wear-resistant plate 3 facing the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1.

[0026] As a key component of the limiting structure, the baffle 5 is firmly connected to the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1, forming a solid "barrier" to prevent the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 from displacing towards the discharge end. When the broken glass continuously slides down and impacts the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3, the baffle 5, with its rigid structure, bears and disperses the force transmitted from the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3, ensuring that the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 remain stable at their predetermined positions at the bottom and sides of the U-shaped trough 1, preventing them from longitudinally (along the discharge direction of the trough), tilting, or falling out of their predetermined working positions due to external forces generated by the material flow. The limiting component 51 (which can be a set screw, such as an internal hexagon or slotted screw) passes through the baffle 5, which is tightly connected to the U-shaped channel 1, and is precisely embedded inside the end of the main wear-resistant plate 2 or the side wear-resistant plate 3 facing the discharge end, establishing a direct and stable mechanical connection link, deeply "binding" the baffle 5 to the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3. With the fastening and limiting effect of the limiting component 51, the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 are firmly "nailed" in the predetermined working position, eliminating the possible minute gaps and relative displacement space between the wear-resistant plate and the baffle 5 at the microscopic level, and working together with the baffle 5 to resist external force interference such as the impact and friction of broken glass.

[0027] In this embodiment, a buffer plate 6 abuts against the main wear-resistant plate 2, the side wear-resistant plate 3, and the U-shaped trough 1. The buffer plate 6 is fixed to the U-shaped trough 1 by a fixing structure. During the process of broken glass sliding down in the chute, it will generate continuous and irregular impact forces on the bottom and sides of the U-shaped trough. The buffer plate 6, with its own elasticity, toughness, or buffer material properties, intervenes between the main wear-resistant plate 2, the side wear-resistant plate 3, and the U-shaped trough, acting as a "shock absorber" to effectively absorb and disperse these impact forces, preventing sharp, high-speed falling broken glass from directly and rigidly impacting the trough structure, and reducing the damage caused by the instantaneous impact force to the trough. The connection method between the buffer plate 6 and the fixing structure (i.e., the fixing frame 4) is the same as the connection method between the main wear-resistant plate 2 or the side wear-resistant plate 3 and the fixing structure, that is, the fixing hole 41 penetrates the buffer plate 6, and the fixing member 42 is embedded in the fixing hole 41 to fix the buffer plate 6 to the fixing frame 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, both the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 are provided with auxiliary handle protrusions 23 at the ends opposite to the discharge end of the U-shaped trough 1. The auxiliary handle protrusions 23 are fixedly connected to the main wear-resistant plate 2 or the side wear-resistant plate 3, and the auxiliary handles extend out of the fixing structure. During the process of installing the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 into the U-shaped trough, especially when inserting them into the trough from the feed end along the fixing frame 4, the auxiliary handle protrusions 23 provide the operator with a point of force application. With the help of this protrusion structure, the operator can more easily and effortlessly control the insertion angle and pushing speed of the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3, ensuring that the wear-resistant plate can enter the predetermined position smoothly and accurately, and fit tightly against the bottom and sides of the U-shaped trough. At the same time, it can also efficiently align the fixing structure (such as the fixing hole 41), speeding up the installation process. When the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 reach the end of their service life and need to be replaced, the auxiliary handle protrusions 23 become the key point of force application. Operators can grip the protruding part and apply outward pulling force to overcome the friction between the main wear-resistant plate 2 and the side wear-resistant plate 3 and the U-shaped groove and the fixed structure, as well as any possible jamming, and smoothly pull the old main wear-resistant plate 2 or side wear-resistant plate 3 out of the fixed frame 4, simplifying the disassembly process and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
