[0024] 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.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A vertical conveyor with a diversion structure includes a conveying mechanism 4. A feeding bin 1 for feeding is provided on one side of the bottom of the conveying mechanism 4, and a feeding port 7 is provided at the connection between the feeding bin 1 and the conveying mechanism 4. A liftable diversion component 3 is provided inside the feeding port 7. A shield 6 is provided on the top of the feeding bin 1, and the opening of the shield 6 extends into the interior of the feeding bin 1. The shield 6 has a U-shaped structure and is made of rubber. The material enters the feeding bin 1 along the inclined side of the shield 6, and the shield 6 can prevent some of the material from splashing out.

[0027] The conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying chamber 401, and a partition 404 is provided inside the conveying chamber 401. The partition 404 and the conveying chamber 401 form two independent conveying chambers. A first discharge port 2 is connected to the top side of one of the conveying chambers, and a second discharge port 5 is connected to the top side of the other conveying chamber. A conveying rod 402 is provided inside each set of conveying chambers, and a spiral blade 403 adapted to the size of the conveying chamber is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveying rod 402.

[0028] A rotating shaft 405 is fixedly installed at the top of the conveyor rod 402, and a transmission sprocket 406 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 405. A transmission chain 407 is meshed with the outside of the transmission sprocket 406, and the power output end of a servo motor 408 is fixedly connected to the middle of one set of transmission sprockets 406.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the material fed into the feeding bin 1 can be diverted and conveyed through the two independent conveying chambers. The material is conveyed through the first discharge port 2 and the second discharge port 5. The material is fed into the feeding bin 1 through the opening of the shield 6. The bottom of the feeding bin 1 is inclined. Under the action of gravity, the material moves to the direction of the inlet 7. After being diverted by the diversion component 3, it enters the conveying chamber. At this time, the servo motor 408 is started. The servo motor 408 drives one set of transmission sprockets 406 to rotate. The transmission sprockets 406 drive the other set of transmission sprockets 406 to rotate synchronously through the transmission chain 407. The two sets of transmission sprockets 406 drive the conveying rod 402 to rotate through the rotating shaft 405. Thus, the material is conveyed through the two sets of spiral blades 403.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the diversion assembly 3 includes a servo motor 302 fixed at the connection between the feed bin 1 and the conveying chamber 401, and a lifting screw 303 is installed at the power output end of the servo motor 302. A screw sleeve 304 is provided on the outside of the lifting screw 303, and a lifting block 306 is fixedly provided on the outside of the screw sleeve 304. A diversion plate 301 is provided on one side of the lifting block 306. The two diversion plates 301 are V-shaped. A guide slider 305 is provided at the connection between the lifting block 306 and the inner wall of the feed bin 1. A receiving groove is provided on the top of the diversion plate 301 on the feed bin 1. The diversion assembly 3 is provided in two sets, and the feed inlet 7 is connected to the two independent conveying chambers respectively.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the diversion component 3 can be opened or closed as needed. The power output end of the servo motor 302 drives the lifting screw 303 to rotate. Under the action of the screw sleeve 304 and the guide slider 305, the lifting block 306 is raised and lowered, thereby driving the diversion plate 301 to descend. When the diversion plate 301 descends to the lowest point, the material cannot enter the conveying chamber 401 through the position of the diversion plate 301. Conversely, the material can pass through smoothly. When one group of diversion plates 301 is closed and another group of diversion plates 301 is opened, the material slides down to the position of the diversion plate 301. Since the diversion plate 301 is an inclined structure, the inclined direction is towards the vertical center line of the feed bin 1. Thus, the material can be guided into another set of independent conveying chambers along the slope of the diversion plate 301.

[0032] Working principle: Material is fed into the feeding hopper 1 through the opening of the shield 6. The bottom of the feeding hopper 1 is inclined. Under the action of gravity, the material moves to the direction of the feed inlet 7. The power output end of the servo motor 302 drives the lifting screw 303 to rotate. Under the action of the screw sleeve 304 and the guide slider 305, the lifting block 306 is raised and lowered, thereby driving the diverter plate 301 to descend. When the diverter plate 301 descends to the lowest point, the material cannot enter the conveying chamber 401 through the position of the diverter plate 301. Conversely, the material can pass through smoothly. After the material enters the conveying chamber, the servo motor 408 is started. The servo motor 408 drives one set of transmission sprockets 406 to rotate. The transmission sprockets 406 drive the other set of transmission sprockets 406 to rotate synchronously through the transmission chain 407. The two sets of transmission sprockets 406 drive the conveying rod 402 to rotate through the rotating shaft 405. Thus, the material is conveyed by the two sets of spiral blades 403.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
