AI Technical Summary
Existing screw conveyors cannot automatically control the opening and closing of the discharge port, making it impossible to achieve automatic batching.
An automated batching auger was designed. By setting a discharge baffle that can move back and forth at the discharge port, and using a cylinder to drive the movement of the discharge baffle to control the opening and closing of the discharge port, the material conveying is achieved by combining the rotation of the spiral blades driven by the geared motor.
It enables free closing and automatic opening of the discharge port, and can automatically batch materials as needed, improving the flexibility and control precision of material conveying.

The flanges at the front and rear ends of the conveying housing are fixedly connected to the discharge housing and the drive housing, respectively.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the rotating bushing and the spiral blade are coaxially arranged inside the conveying housing, and the cross-sectional area of the feed cylinder increases from top to bottom along the horizontal direction. An annular flange is provided at the upper end of the feed cylinder. This allows for a larger feeding capacity and increases the feeding speed.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drive housing is provided with an L-shaped support plate, which is flush with the bottom of the discharge housing. A support seat is provided inside the drive housing, and a bearing seat is provided on the front inner wall of the drive housing. The drive head shaft is rotatably supported on the support seat and the bearing seat. The front end of the drive head shaft passes through the support plate of the drive housing and extends into the conveying housing.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the discharge shell. The material enters the discharge shell and is then discharged through the discharge port.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper part of the discharge baffle is provided with an L-shaped mounting part, and a cylinder is mounted on the drive housing. The piston rod of the cylinder extends into the discharge housing and connects with the mounting part. A polymer plate is provided on the surface of the discharge baffle corresponding to the discharge port. The polymer plate is made of polyethylene or polypropylene.
