DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The utility model will be further explained in connection with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] With reference to Figures 1-5 The star-shaped rotary valve comprises a valve body 1, a feeding pipe 2, a discharging pipe 3 and a motor 4. The valve body 1 is of a hollow structure, one end of which is provided with a speed reducer 5. The output end of the motor 4 is connected with the input end of the speed reducer 5. The output end of the speed reducer 5 is connected with a valve core 6, which extends into the valve body 1.

[0030] In order to realize the rotation support of the valve core 6, two connecting flanges 10 are arranged at the two ends of the valve body 1. A central hole is formed at the central position of each connecting flange 10. A bearing 9 is arranged in the central hole. The valve core 6 is rotationally connected with the two bearings 9 respectively. The speed reducer 5 is arranged at one end of the valve body 1 through the connecting flange 10.

[0031] Eight material separation plates 7 are arranged on the outer wall of the valve core 6 in a circumferential direction. The equal relationship between the discharging speed and the rotation speed is effectively ensured. Thus, the discharging speed can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor 4.

[0032] Because the conventional rotary valve is exposed to the valve body 1, the powder can invade the bearing 9 after the product enters the valve body, which causes the operation to be stuck. In this embodiment, two material blocking plates 8 are arranged on the outer wall of the valve core 6. The two material blocking plates 8 are arranged at the two ends of the material separation plate 7 and connected with the material separation plate 7. The outer edge of the material blocking plate 8 is arranged close to the inner wall of the valve body 1. A feeding port and a discharging port are formed on the outer wall of the valve body 1 corresponding to the position of the material separation plate 7. The feeding port and the discharging port are arranged opposite to each other. Thus, no matter whether the material is fed or discharged, the powder is always blocked between the two material blocking plates 8 and cannot spread to the position of the bearing 9, which ensures the stable operation of the bearing 9.

[0033] In order to further increase the dustproof performance of the bearing 9, a stepped mounting structure is arranged at the two ends of the valve core 6. The stepped mounting structure comprises a first stepped shaft 61 and a second stepped shaft 62. The first stepped shaft 61 is arranged close to the material blocking plate 8. The diameter of the first stepped shaft 61 is greater than that of the second stepped shaft 62. A dustproof ring 14 is arranged on the first stepped shaft 61. One end of the dustproof ring 14 is abutted with the shaft shoulder between the valve core 6 and the first stepped shaft 61. The other end of the dustproof ring 14 is abutted with the inner side surface of the connecting flange 10. The bearing 9 is arranged on the second stepped shaft 62.

[0034] The projections of the inlet and the outlet in the vertical direction are all oval, and the long axis of the oval is parallel to the axis of the valve core 6, effectively utilizing the axial space of the valve body 1, increasing the long axis of the oval and correspondingly reducing the short axis of the oval, while ensuring the discharging speed, correspondingly reducing the diameter of the valve body 1. The outlet of the feeding pipe 2 is connected to the inlet, the inlet of the feeding pipe 2 is a circular port, the outlet is matched with the shape of the inlet, the long axis length of the oval projection of the inlet is smaller than the length of the spacing plate 7, so that the feeding speed can be ensured, and the long axis length of the oval projection of the inlet is smaller than the length of the spacing plate 7, so that all the products can fall between the two blocking plates 8 without eroding the bearing 9, and the inlet of the discharging pipe 3 is connected to the outlet, and the outlet of the discharging pipe 3 is a circular port, the inlet of the discharging pipe 3 is matched with the shape of the outlet, and the long axis length of the oval projection of the outlet is greater than the length of the spacing plate 7, so that the powder between the adjacent two spacing plates 7 rotating to the outlet can all fall from the outlet, preventing the powder from being accumulated between the adjacent two spacing plates 7, and a butt flange 11 is connected to one end of the outlet of the discharging pipe 3, and the butt flange 11 can be used for connecting with other equipment.

[0035] In order to improve the structural stability, two supporting plates 12 are arranged on both sides of the discharging pipe 3, one end of the supporting plate 12 is connected with the outer wall of the valve body 1, the other end is connected with the butt flange 11, and a reinforcing plate 13 is arranged on both sides of the valve body 1, and each reinforcing plate 13 is connected with the outer wall of the feeding pipe 2, the outer wall of the valve body 1, the outer wall of the discharging pipe 3 and the butt flange 11.

[0036] In use, the powder is transported from the pipeline to the feeding pipe 2, enters the valve body 1 through the feeding pipe 2, the motor 4 drives the valve core 6 to rotate through the speed reducer 5, and the products enter the cavity between the adjacent spacing plates 7 in turn with the rotation of the spacing plates 7, when the products are transported to the outlet, they enter the discharging pipe 3 from the outlet, and finally enter other equipment connected with the discharging pipe 3, such as packaging equipment, when it is necessary to adjust the discharging speed, the speed of the motor 4 is changed.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are only used to describe the specific implementation of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application, and various modifications and improvements of the technical scheme of the present application made by those skilled in the art without departing from the design spirit of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
