[0034] By adopting the above solution, the driving device 8 can drive the control component 4 and the striking device 7, making it convenient for users to use the control component 4 and the striking device 7.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission plate 701 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 6 on the side near the positioning block 6, the striking plate 702 is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 701 on the side near the transmission plate 701, the front side of the striking block 703 is fixedly connected to the striking plate 702, the rear side of the striking block 703 is in contact with the hopper 3, and the front and rear sides of the tension spring 704 are fixedly connected to the striking plate 702 and the hopper 3 respectively.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model:

[0040] In use, the dual-head motor 801 is started, driving the drive column 802 to rotate. During the rotation of the drive column 802, the cam 803 and the second pulley 805 rotate synchronously. The cam 803 drives the contact wheel 804 to rotate. During the rotation of the contact wheel 804, the transmission plate 701 is pushed to rotate. The transmission plate 701 drives the striking plate 702 to rotate synchronously. The striking plate 702 drives the striking block 703 to rotate and stretches the tension spring 704, so that the striking block 703 is no longer in contact with the hopper 3. When the cam 803 rotates to the appropriate position, the contact wheel 804 no longer pushes the transmission plate 701 to rotate. At the same time, the force released after the tension spring 704 is stretched will drive the striking plate 702 to rotate in the opposite direction. The striking plate 702 will drive the striking block 703 and the transmission plate 701 to rotate in the opposite direction synchronously and reset, so that the striking block 703 strikes the hopper 3 to prevent material blockage.

[0041] While the second pulley 805 is rotating, it will drive the first pulley 403 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 806. The first pulley 403 will drive the transmission column 401 and the control component 402 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the control component 402 will uniformly feed the material in the inner cavity of the hopper 3, control the flow rate of the material entering the conveyor body 2, and complete the work.

[0042] In summary, this flour processing conveyor, through the coordinated use of control component 4, support block 5, positioning block 6, striking device 7, and drive device 8, solves the problem that most existing screw conveyors do not have the function of uniform material feeding during use. Usually, the material is poured directly into the inner cavity of the hopper manually, and during the feeding process, the material may be fed too quickly, causing material blockage.
