Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder engineering and its peripheral supporting facilities, particularly to a bin cone structure and a powder bin. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of producing and using powder materials, the powder materials are basically stored in powder bins. Generally, the powder bin is a closed container with a cylindrical upper part and an inverted conical lower part, which is usually made of steel plates.

[0003] The top of the powder bin is provided with a feeding port, and the lower cone is provided with a discharging port. The powder is fed into the bin from the feeding port by a conveying device and discharged from the discharging port by utilizing the flowability of the powder. The diameter of the powder bin in industrial production is mostly more than 2 meters. In fact, in the production process, the fine powder inevitably contains water, for example, the water content of coal powder sometimes exceeds 10%, and the water content of ceramic powder is usually about 7%. Even the water content of cement powder is about 0.5%. In the powder bin, the lower cone bears the pressure of the self-weight of the powder, and the water molecules have the function of wetting the surface of the metal material. Under the action of pressure, the powder will stick to the wetted steel surface and form a stagnant wall phenomenon. The higher the water content of the powder, the more serious the stagnant wall phenomenon. In addition, the greater the viscosity of the water solution of the powder, the more serious the stagnant wall phenomenon. When the stagnant wall reaches a certain degree, the powder will caking on the cone wall, reducing the flowability of the powder, and even the powder cannot be discharged. The coal powder bin often cannot discharge coal powder, which is commonly known as "stall". In the lime bin, people often install aeration plates in the lower cone to solve the stagnant wall problem by blowing hot air through the micro-porous aeration plates, which consumes a certain amount of energy. Ceramic powder needs to pay attention to particle size distribution, and stagnant wall will accelerate the preferential falling of large particle powder, which will be discharged first, resulting in that the first discharged powder is coarse powder, and the later discharged powder is fine powder or even micro-powder, which affects the forming performance of the ceramic body and the sintering shrinkage rate of the ceramic product, resulting in uneven product density and inconsistent product size, and further forming waste products.

[0030] Embodiment one

[0031] The embodiment provides a bin cone structure 100, please refer to Figures 1-2 , including upper cone bucket and lower cone bucket, wherein the upper cone bucket includes upper flange 1, upper cone 2 and telescopic ring 8, the smaller end of the diameter of the upper cone 2 is fixedly connected with the upper flange 1, and the telescopic ring 8 is arranged at the bottom of the upper flange 1 and can be elastically deformed; the lower cone bucket includes lower flange 3, middle flange 5, lower cone 4 and vibrator 11, the larger end of the diameter of the lower cone 4 is fixedly connected with the lower flange 3, the lower flange 3 is connected with the middle flange 5, and the vibrator 11 is arranged between the lower flange 3 and the middle flange 5, and the middle flange 5 abuts against the telescopic ring 8; the upper cone bucket and the lower cone bucket are bolted, the flange pad 9 is arranged between the middle flange 5 and the upper flange 1, and the flange pad 9 is made of elastic material.

In the specific embodiment, the telescopic ring 8 is made of thin plate of elastic steel material, which has good elasticity and certain structural strength, thereby improving the working reliability of the telescopic ring 8. It should be explained here that the flange pad 9 can be made of polyurethane material to ensure the sealing of the bin hopper structure 100. In actual application, the flange pad 9 can also be made of other elastic materials.

[0038] More specifically, the upper flange 1 is welded and connected with the upper cone body 2, and the upper reinforcing rib 12 is arranged between the upper flange 1 and the upper cone body 2 to ensure the structural stability. The upper flange 1 and the upper cone body 2 are respectively welded and connected with the upper reinforcing rib 12 to improve the overall structure.

The connecting bolts 14 and the connecting nuts 15 are arranged with gaskets, which can be flat washers and elastic washers at the same time, to ensure the connection stability. The number of the connecting bolts 14 is multiple groups, and the connecting bolts 14 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction around the axis of the upper hopper and the lower hopper to improve the uniformity of the stress of the upper hopper and the lower hopper.

[0041] The warehouse cone structure 100, the vibrator 11 is installed at the vibration plate 10, and the flange pad 9 of polyurethane material is also elastic due to the gap between the high-strength connecting bolt 14 and the bolt hole on each flange (the upper flange 1, the middle flange 5 and the lower flange 3). When the vibrator 11 is started, the lower cone bucket is subjected to great vibration, and the upper cone bucket is subjected to very weak vibration, especially when the powder is loaded, the upper cone bucket is almost not vibrated. In this way, the vibration force is transmitted to the powder in the warehouse through the warehouse cone structure 100 by vibrating the lower cone bucket, so that the powder does not appear the wall stagnation phenomenon.
