Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, specifically a shatterproof bucket elevator. Background Technology

[0002] Grain machinery refers to mechanical equipment used in grain production, processing, storage, and transportation. There are many types of grain machinery, covering the entire grain supply chain from planting to consumption. Among them, the bucket elevator is a type of machinery that uses several buckets installed at regular intervals on a traction component such as a conveyor belt or chain to continuously transport materials upward.

[0003] In the current bucket elevator, if a sudden power outage occurs during the transmission process, and several buckets are filled with material, the traction components will bear a large weight. The self-locking mechanism of the motor (such as electromagnetic brakes and mechanical brakes, which have limited force resistance) may not be able to withstand such a large weight, causing the material to slide down. This will not only affect the transmission efficiency but also the service life of the device. Therefore, a new type of anti-breakage bucket elevator is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that if a sudden power outage occurs during the transmission process of a current bucket elevator, and several buckets are filled with material, the traction components will bear a large weight. The self-locking mechanism of the motor (such as electromagnetic brakes and mechanical brakes, which have limited force resistance) may not be able to withstand such a large weight, causing the material to slide down. This not only affects the transmission efficiency but also the service life of the device. This utility model provides an elevator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A shatterproof bucket elevator includes: a mounting frame, the surface of which is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, and a transmission belt is provided inside the mounting frame; it also includes a drive unit for driving the transmission belt to rotate in one direction.

[0007] The surface of the transmission belt is provided with a plurality of hoppers, and also includes an installation unit and a self-locking unit. The installation unit is used to set the plurality of hoppers on the surface of the transmission belt, and the self-locking unit is used to apply a force to resist the transmission belt when it rotates in the reverse direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a main frame body, and the inlet and outlet are both opened on the surface of the main frame body. The surface of the main frame body is provided with an installation edge, and a number of fixing bolts are threaded into the surface of the installation edge.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive unit includes two drive wheels that are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame. The transmission belt is slidably sleeved on the surface of the two drive wheels. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the main frame. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly mounted on one end of the drive wheel and electrically connected to a controller fixedly mounted on the surface of the main frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the installation unit includes several installation protrusions all disposed on the surface of the transmission belt, and several hoppers are provided with limit protrusions on both sides. The several limit protrusions are slidably inserted into the surfaces of the several installation protrusions, and each surface is threaded with a limit nut.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the main frame is provided with a slot and a lock. A sealing plate is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the slot. Both the sealing plate and the surface of the main frame are provided with connecting protrusions. The surface of the lock is slidably inserted into the surfaces of the two connecting protrusions.

[0012] Furthermore, the self-locking unit includes a ratchet and a torsion spring fixedly installed at one end of one of the drive wheels. A pawl is engaged on the surface of the ratchet. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on the surface of the main frame. A pawl is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the fixing frame through the torsion spring.

[0013] Furthermore, the pawl is provided with rotating protrusions on both sides, and the surfaces of the two rotating protrusions are respectively rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the fixing frame. The torsion spring is slidably sleeved on the surface of one of the rotating protrusions and its two ends are respectively fixedly installed on the fixing frame and the surface of one of the rotating protrusions.

[0014] Furthermore, an installation ring is fixedly installed on the top of the main frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting an inlet and an outlet on the surface of the mounting frame, the user pours the material into the inlet, and the drive unit drives the transmission belt to move along its own length, which in turn moves several hoppers mounted on its surface by the mounting unit, thereby taking out the material and carrying it to a high place before throwing it out from the outlet. In the event of a sudden power failure, the self-locking unit automatically applies a force to resist the movement (at this time, under the action of gravity, the transmission belt will move in the opposite direction, so one side of the hoppers on both sides of the long belt has material and the other side does not, resulting in an imbalance of gravity), thereby preventing the material from sliding down, which not only saves time but also reduces the wear and tear on the device.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, a slot is opened on the surface of the main frame, and a sealing plate is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the slot. When in use, the user can open the lock and rotate the sealing plate to inspect and disassemble several hoppers inside the main frame through the slot, thereby improving the service life of the device.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This embodiment provides an elevator primarily designed to address the problem of current bucket elevators where, during transport, a sudden power outage occurs. With several buckets fully filled with material, the traction components bear a significant load, and the motor's self-locking mechanism (such as electromagnetic brakes or mechanical brakes, which have limited force tolerance) may be unable to withstand this force, causing material to slide down. This not only affects transport efficiency but also the lifespan of the device. The following technical solution is provided, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-5 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0026] A shatterproof bucket elevator includes: a mounting frame 1 with a feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3 on its surface; a drive belt 4 inside the mounting frame 1; and several buckets 6 mounted on the surface of the drive belt 4 by a mounting unit 7. In use, the user pours material into the feed inlet 2, and then controls the drive belt 4 to move along its length via a drive unit 5, thus moving the buckets 6. During the movement of the buckets 6, the material inside the mounting frame 1 is scooped up and discharged from the discharge outlet 3. If a power outage occurs, the drive unit 5, which requires power, stops driving the drive belt 4. Since the buckets 6 on both sides of the drive belt 4 have different masses, under the influence of gravity, the heavier bucket 6... The hoppers 6 will slide down, causing the transmission belt 4 to move. The self-locking unit 8 will lock the transmission belt 4 in time to prevent the hoppers 6 from sliding down quickly, which not only affects work efficiency but also reduces wear on the transmission belt 4 and other devices. The main components of the mounting frame 1 are: a main frame body 101 with both the discharge port 3 and the inlet port 2 on its surface. In use, the user places the mounting edge 102 on the surface of the main frame body 101 against the ground and then inserts several fixing bolts 103 into the surface of the mounting edge 102, so that the fixing bolts 103 are all threaded into the ground, thus fixing the main frame body 101 to the ground. The main components of the drive unit 5 are: two drive wheels 51 that are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. In use, the user controls the output end of the drive motor 52, which is also fixedly mounted on the surface of the main frame 101, to rotate via the controller 53 fixedly mounted on the surface of the main frame 101. This, in turn, drives one of the drive wheels 51 fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 52 to rotate, further driving the transmission belt 4 that is slidably sleeved on the surfaces of the two drive wheels 51. The main components of the mounting unit 7 are: several limiting protrusions 72 respectively set on both sides of several hoppers 6, and several mounting protrusions 71 set on the surface of the transmission belt 4. In use, the user slides the several limiting protrusions 72 into the surface of the several mounting protrusions 71 (rubber material), and finally threads are formed on the surface of the several limiting protrusions 72. By fitting the upper limit nut 73, several hoppers 6 can be installed on the surface of the transmission belt 4. The main components of the installation unit 7 are: a ratchet 81 and a torsion spring 82 fixedly installed at one end of one of the drive wheels 51. At the same time, a fixing frame 84 is fixedly installed on the surface of the main frame 101. Inside the fixing frame 84, a pawl 83 is rotatably installed through the torsion spring 82. The pawl 83 engages with the surface of the ratchet 81. When the transmission belt 4 moves normally in one direction, the ratchet 81 can move normally without being hindered by the pawl 83. When the transmission belt 4 tends to move in the opposite direction, the inner wall of the ratchet 81 will abut against one end of the pawl 83 to achieve a braking effect.

[0027] By setting an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 on the surface of the mounting frame 1, the user pours the material into the inlet 2 during use. The drive unit 5 drives the transmission belt 4 to move along its own length, which in turn moves several hoppers 6 mounted on its surface by the mounting unit 7. The material is then taken out, carried to a high place, and thrown out from the outlet 3. In the event of a sudden power failure, the self-locking unit 8 automatically applies a force to resist the movement (at this time, under the action of gravity, the transmission belt 4 will move in the opposite direction, so one side of the hoppers 6 on both sides of the belt contains material and the other side does not, resulting in an imbalance of gravity), thereby preventing the material from sliding down. This not only saves time but also reduces the wear and tear on the device.

[0028] By opening a slot 9 on the surface of the main frame 101 and rotating a sealing plate 11 on the inner wall of the slot 9, the user can open the lock 10 and rotate the sealing plate 11 to inspect and disassemble several hoppers 6 inside the main frame 101 through the slot 9, thereby improving the service life of the device.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the main frame 101 is provided with a slot 9 and a lock 10. A sealing plate 11 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the slot 9. In use, the user inserts the lock 10 into the inner walls of two connecting protrusions 12 respectively located on the sealing plate 11 and the surface of the main frame 101, thus limiting the sealing plate 11 within the inner wall of the slot 9. The torsion spring 82 is installed as follows: two rotating protrusions 13 are respectively located on both sides of the pawl 83, and the surfaces of the two rotating protrusions 13 are rotatably inserted into both sides of the inner wall of the fixing frame 84. Furthermore, the torsion spring 82 is slidably sleeved on one of the rotating protrusions. The surface of the movable protrusion 13 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 84 and the surface of one of the rotating protrusions 13 at both ends. Therefore, under the elastic force of the torsion spring 82, the pawl 83 will be subjected to a force to keep it in place. When the ratchet 81 rotates in one direction, the pawl 83 will be lifted. When it rotates in the other direction, the pawl 83 will abut against the inner wall of the ratchet 81, thus limiting the ratchet 81. It should be noted that an installation ring 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the main frame 101. When in use, the user can connect the wire rope of the traction machine to the installation ring 14 and then move the main frame 101 by the traction machine.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] First, the user needs to pour the material to be transported into the inlet 2. Then, the controller 53 controls the output of the drive motor 52 to rotate, thereby driving one of the drive wheels 51 to drive the transmission belt 4. The material is then lifted through several hoppers 6.

[0032] Secondly, when it is necessary to inspect several hoppers 6, the lock 10 needs to be opened, and then the sealing plate 11 is rotated. The output end of the drive motor 52 is controlled by the controller 53 to rotate, which drives several hoppers 6 to move in sequence, so that several hoppers 6 appear in the slot 9 in sequence. The user can then inspect several hoppers 6 in sequence, which can increase the service life of the device.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
