Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a material leveling device. Background Technology

[0002] In conveyors used for continuous material transport, it is typically necessary for the material to be evenly spread and dispersed along the width of the conveying trough to meet the requirements of downstream process equipment and facilitate processes such as draining and screening by installing additional devices. For example, a material distribution plate can be installed on the conveyor to obstruct and guide the material, allowing for a more uniform distribution along the width of the trough. However, in actual production lines, due to factors such as the concentrated distribution of material from upstream equipment, the overlapping direction of the feeding equipment, the fixed length of the conveyor trough, and its wide width, the material distribution plate may not achieve a satisfactory material homogenization effect, thus affecting the overall process performance.

[0017] The present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate several embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be presented in many different ways and is not limited to the embodiments described below; in fact, the embodiments described below are intended to make the disclosure more complete and to fully illustrate the scope of protection of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should also be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein can be combined in various ways to provide more additional embodiments. Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of embodiments and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0018] It should be understood that the same reference numerals denote the same elements in all the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in this specification is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. All terms used in this specification (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. For the sake of brevity and / or clarity, well-known functions or structures may not be described in detail.

[0019] The following describes a material leveling apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material leveling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a base 1, a cylinder seat 2, a cylinder 3, a connecting seat 4, a material leveling rod seat 5, a sealing element 8, and a material leveling rod 9.

[0021] The base 1 is fixed to the conveyor frame 11 and is used to install the material leveling device. The cylinder seat 2 is connected to the base 1. Optionally, the cylinder seat 2 has a round hole, and the side plate of the base 1 has an elongated hole extending in the vertical or horizontal direction. Bolts and nuts passing through the round hole and the elongated hole can be used to fix the cylinder seat 2 to the base 1, thereby allowing the position of the cylinder seat 2 fixed to the base 1 to be adjusted in the vertical or horizontal direction. Optionally, the round hole can also be provided on the base 1 and the elongated hole can be provided on the cylinder seat 2.

[0022] Cylinder 3 is fixed to cylinder base 2, including cylinder flange 31 located at the top. Cylinder flange 31 is connected to a shaft inside cylinder 3. The shaft inside cylinder 3 can rotate... Figure 3 The axis XX shown is along direction A ( Figure 3 The cylinder flange 31 rotates back and forth around the axis XX along direction A.

[0023] The connecting seat 4 is connected to the cylinder 3 and the material feeding rod seat 5. The connecting seat 4 includes a lower flange 41 and an upper flange 42. Figure 3 The lower flange 41 is bolted to the cylinder flange 31, and the upper flange 42 is bolted to the rod seat flange 51 of the material leveling rod seat 5. In this embodiment, the cylinder flange 31 and the lower flange 41 are circular, and the upper flange 42 and the rod seat flange 51 are square. However, they can also have other shapes, as long as the connecting seat 4 and the material leveling rod seat 5 are relatively fixed.

[0024] The material leveling rod seat 5 supports the material leveling rod 9. In this embodiment, it includes a rod seat flange 51 and two lugs 52. The two lugs 52 extend upward from the rod seat flange 51, and a reinforcing rod 53 is provided between the two lugs 52. The reinforcing rod 53 has one end ( Figure 3 The right end is fixed to a lug 52, and the other end ( Figure 3 The left end of the rod 53 extends beyond the other lug 52. The reinforcing rod 53 is supported by the two lugs 52.

[0025] The reinforcing rod flange 6 is located at the other end of the reinforcing rod 53, and is either integral with or fixed to the reinforcing rod 53. The reinforcing rod flange 6 is fixed to the leveling rod flange 91 of the leveling rod 9 using bolts.

[0026] The feed leveling rod 9 is elongated and extends into the trough 10 of the conveyor along a direction intersecting (e.g., perpendicular to) the axis XX. One end of the feed leveling rod 9 is a free end, and the other end is provided with a feed leveling rod flange 91 fixed to the reinforcing rod flange 6.

[0027] The seal 8, mounted on the window 7, is a flexible seal. It is fixed to the feed rod 9 and seals its periphery. The seal 8 is configured to deform with the oscillation of the feed rod 9 to achieve a reliable seal. Optionally, the seal 8 is a corrugated seal to allow deformation within a certain range. The seal 8 prevents material from overflowing through the window 7 under the vibration of the conveyor.

[0028] The working process of the uniform feeding device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.

[0029] When the conveyor is running, materials (such as tobacco stems, ore, etc.) fall from above into the trough 10 and move along direction C. Figure 1 Conveying. After the material leveling device is started, the shaft inside cylinder 3 reciprocates around axis XX in direction A, causing cylinder flange 31 and lower flange 41 to also reciprocate around axis XX in direction A. Furthermore, upper flange 42 and rod seat flange 51 rotate around axis XX in direction A, causing the material leveling rod 91, fixed relative to the material leveling rod seat 5, to move in the trough 10 along direction B. Figure 1 The material oscillates back and forth, thus ensuring that the material falling on the tank 10 is evenly distributed.

[0030] According to the material leveling device disclosed herein, the material is evenly distributed on the tank by actuating the material with a leveling rod. The material leveling device of this disclosure has a simple and effective structure and is easy to install. Furthermore, by adjusting the rotation speed and angle of the cylinder, the desired material leveling effect can be achieved for different materials and different site conditions.

[0031] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the components can be easily replaced and maintained by using flanges to connect them. For example, by connecting the leveling rod 9 and the reinforcing rod 53 using the leveling rod flange 91 and the reinforcing rod flange 6, the leveling rod 9 can be removed from the reinforcing rod 53 for maintenance or replacement with a leveling rod of a different shape, length, curvature, etc.

[0032] The embodiments of this disclosure have been described above, but it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited thereto. Various modifications will be conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0033] For example, in the embodiments described above, the reinforcing rod 53 and the uniform rod 9 are connected by the reinforcing rod flange 6 and the uniform rod flange 91, respectively. However, it is conceivable that the uniform rod 9 can be directly fixed to the lug 52, thereby eliminating the need for the reinforcing rod 53, the reinforcing rod flange 6 and the uniform rod flange 91.

[0034] For example, in the embodiments described above, the material leveling device includes a connecting seat 4 and a material leveling rod seat 5. However, it is conceivable that the shaft of the cylinder 3 can extend out of the cylinder housing and the material leveling rod 9 can be directly fixed to the shaft of the cylinder 3 (e.g., by a key connection), so that the material leveling rod 9 can swing back and forth when the cylinder 3 is actuated, thereby eliminating the need for the connecting seat 4 and the material leveling rod seat 5.

[0035] For example, in the embodiments described above, the material leveling device includes a base 1 and a cylinder seat 2 detachably mounted on the base 1. However, it is conceivable that the cylinder seat 2 can be omitted and the cylinder 3 can be directly fixed on the base 1.

[0036] For example, in the embodiments described above, the material distribution rod 9 extends along a straight line that is approximately parallel to the conveying direction C and oscillates back and forth in direction B. However, it is conceivable that the material distribution rod 9 may also oscillate back and forth in other directions as needed to distribute the material evenly.

[0037] Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included within the scope of protection of this disclosure as defined by the claims. This disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and equivalents of those claims are also included.
