Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor technology, specifically an automatic material feeding conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Conveyor belts play a crucial role in food processing. They are used to transport various food ingredients, such as flour, sugar, oil, vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, fresh meat, ham, and sausages, from warehouses or storage tanks to food processing production lines for mixing, stirring, crushing, and cutting, enabling automated processing. Food processing conveyor belts are made from non-toxic materials and feature high tensile strength, good flexibility, lightweight yet toughness, oil resistance, non-toxicity, hygiene, and easy cleaning. They are specifically designed for transporting food in the food processing industry.

[0003] Existing conveyors typically allow materials to be stacked under their own weight, and then the conveyor belt scraper naturally scrapes the materials, which has a certain spreading effect and can distribute the materials as evenly as possible on the surface of the conveyor belt. However, this spreading effect is very limited, and local stacking or gaps are still prone to occur on the conveyor belt. It is difficult to ensure that the material distribution on the conveyor belt is highly uniform, which can interfere with subsequent processing to some extent. Therefore, to address the above problems, an automatic spreading conveyor is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide an automatic material spreading conveyor. This conveyor has a lifting conveyor and an automatic spreading mechanism at the feed end, which work together to spread the material evenly and transport it to the conveyor body. The lifting conveyor carries the material accumulated in the feed hopper out more evenly and lifts it to the automatic spreading mechanism. When the material leaves the top of the lifting conveyor, it is guided by the guiding mechanism to fall more evenly onto the spreading roller. The spreading roller rotates to gradually transport the material it contacts forward. Since the material is frequently rotating during transport, it avoids accumulation. The material also moves towards vacant positions under gravity, thus achieving the automatic spreading function. This results in a high degree of uniformity in the material distribution delivered to the conveyor body, facilitating efficient subsequent processing. This solves the problem that existing conveyors have limited spreading capabilities, are prone to localized pile-ups or gaps, and struggle to ensure a high degree of uniformity in material distribution, which can interfere with subsequent processing.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] An automatic material-spreading conveyor includes a conveyor body for conveying materials, a support frame at one end, a lifting conveyor mounted on the support frame with a feed hopper, the lifting conveyor for conveying materials to the conveyor body, and an automatic material-spreading mechanism for leveling materials falling from the lifting conveyor and conveying them back to the conveyor body. The automatic material-spreading mechanism includes a side mounting frame with several material-spreading rollers installed therebetween. A guiding mechanism is installed on the side mounting frame near the lifting conveyor, allowing the lifting conveyor to evenly distribute the materials accumulated in the feed hopper. The material is evenly conveyed and lifted to the automatic spreading mechanism. When the material leaves the top of the lifting conveyor, it will fall more evenly onto the spreading roller under the guidance of the guiding mechanism. The spreading roller can gradually convey the material in contact with it forward by rotating itself. The material is frequently rotating during the conveying process, so it can avoid accumulation. The material will also move to the vacated position under the action of gravity during the movement, thus playing the role of automatic spreading. This makes the material conveyed to the conveyor body highly uniform in distribution, which can facilitate efficient subsequent processing.

[0007] In one possible implementation, a driven sprocket is fixedly installed at the end of the spreading roller, a spreading motor is installed on the lower side of the spreading roller, and a driving sprocket is fixedly installed on its output shaft. The driven sprocket and the driving sprocket are connected by a transmission chain. In addition, the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket are covered with protective covers. The above structure can drive the spreading roller, that is, when the spreading motor is working, it can drive the driving sprocket to rotate, and drive the driven sprocket to rotate under the transmission action of the transmission chain, thereby driving the spreading roller to rotate.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the material guiding mechanism includes a guide plate mounted on a side mounting bracket, which is inclined to the spreading roller. A brush is mounted on the guide plate and contacts the end of the lifting conveyor. The brush can guide the material on the lifting conveyor to the guide plate, and then the guide plate can evenly guide the material to the spreading roller.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the lifting conveyor includes a frame on which a conveyor belt and a lifting motor are mounted. The lifting motor drives the conveyor belt to move. Several scrapers are fixedly arranged on the surface of the conveyor belt. When the lifting motor is working, it can drive the conveyor belt to move. When the conveyor belt moves, the scrapers on it can scrape the material to lift and convey it.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a cover is detachably mounted on the frame, having a plurality of arrayed through holes thereon, which prevents material from rolling off the sides of the lifting conveyor during the lifting process.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the feed hopper includes a hopper body with a feed inlet at its front end facing the lifting conveyor. A hopper support is fixedly installed outside the hopper body. The hopper body is used to store materials and output the materials to the lifting conveyor through the feed inlet.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the side mounting bracket includes an outer frame plate with an inner frame plate installed inside. Several mounting bearings are installed on the inner frame plate, and their inner rings are fixedly connected to the end of the spreading roller. The above structure provides the necessary structural foundation for the rotational installation of the spreading roller.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support frame includes a main support and an auxiliary support, wherein the main support is used to support the top of the lifting conveyor and the automatic material spreading mechanism, and the auxiliary support is used to support the bottom of the lifting conveyor. The above structure can complete the fixed installation of the automatic material spreading mechanism and the lifting conveyor.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] The conveyor is equipped with a lifting conveyor and an automatic spreading mechanism at the feed end. These work together to spread the material evenly and deliver it to the conveyor body. The lifting conveyor carries the material accumulated in the feed hopper out more evenly and lifts it to the automatic spreading mechanism. When the material leaves the top of the lifting conveyor, it falls more evenly onto the spreading roller under the guidance of the guiding mechanism. The spreading roller can gradually convey the material in contact with it forward by rotating itself. The material is frequently rotating during the conveying process, so it can avoid accumulation. The material will also move to the vacated position under the action of gravity during the movement, thus playing the role of automatic spreading. This makes the material delivered to the conveyor body highly uniform in distribution, which can facilitate efficient subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic material spreading conveyor, including a conveyor body 1 for conveying materials, a support frame 2 at its end, a lifting conveyor 3 mounted on the support frame 2, and a feed hopper 4 mounted on the lifting conveyor 3 for conveying materials to the conveyor body 1, and an automatic material spreading mechanism 5 for spreading the materials falling from the lifting conveyor 3 and conveying the materials to the conveyor body 1. The automatic material spreading mechanism 5 includes a side mounting frame 51 with several spreading rollers 52 installed therebetween. A guiding mechanism 53 is mounted on the side mounting frame 51 near the lifting conveyor 3, and the lifting conveyor 3 guides the feed material... The material accumulated in bucket 4 is carried out relatively evenly and lifted and conveyed to the automatic spreading mechanism 5. When the material leaves the top of the lifting conveyor 3, it will fall more evenly onto the spreading roller 52 under the guidance of the guiding mechanism 53. The spreading roller 52 can gradually convey the material in contact with it forward by rotating itself. The material is frequently rotating during the conveying process, so it can avoid accumulation. The material will also move to the vacated position under the action of gravity during the movement, thus playing the role of automatic spreading. This makes the material conveyed to the conveyor body 1 have a high degree of uniformity of distribution, which can facilitate efficient subsequent processing.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, a driven sprocket 54 is fixedly installed at the end of the spreading roller 52, and a spreading motor 55 is installed on the lower side of the spreading roller 52. A driving sprocket 56 is fixedly installed on its output shaft. The driven sprocket 54 and the driving sprocket 56 are connected by a transmission chain. In addition, a protective cover 57 is provided on the driven sprocket 54 and the driving sprocket 56. The above structure can drive the spreading roller 52. That is, when the spreading motor 55 is working, it can drive the driving sprocket 56 to rotate, and drive the driven sprocket 54 to rotate under the transmission action of the transmission chain, thereby driving the spreading roller 52 to rotate. The guiding mechanism 53 includes a guide plate 531 installed on the side mounting frame 51, which is inclined to the spreading roller 52. A brush 532 is installed on the guide plate 531, which is in contact with the end of the lifting conveyor 3. The brush 532 can guide the material on the lifting conveyor 3 to the guide plate 531, and then the guide plate 531 will evenly guide the material to the spreading roller 52.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the lifting conveyor 3 includes a frame 31 on which a conveyor belt 32 and a lifting motor 33 are mounted. The lifting motor 33 drives the conveyor belt 32 to move. Several scrapers 34 are fixedly provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 32. When the lifting motor 33 is working, it can drive the conveyor belt 32 to move. When the conveyor belt 32 is moving, the scrapers 34 on it can scrape the material to lift and convey it. In addition, a cover 35 is detachably installed on the frame 31. Several arrayed through holes 36 are opened on it. The cover 35 can prevent the material from rolling off the sides of the lifting conveyor 3 during the lifting process.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding hopper 4 includes a hopper body 41, with a material inlet 42 at its front end facing the lifting conveyor 3. A hopper support 43 is fixedly installed outside the hopper body 41. The hopper body 41 is used to store materials and output the materials to the lifting conveyor 3 through the material inlet 42.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the side mounting bracket 51 includes an outer frame plate 511, inside which an inner frame plate 512 is installed. Several mounting bearings 513 are installed on the inner frame plate 512, and their inner rings are fixedly connected to the end of the spreading roller 52. The above structure provides the necessary structural foundation for the rotational installation of the spreading roller 52.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 2 includes a main support 21 and an auxiliary support 22. The main support 21 is used to support the top of the lifting conveyor 3 and the automatic material spreading mechanism 5, and the auxiliary support 22 is used to support the bottom of the lifting conveyor 3. The above structure can complete the fixed installation of the automatic material spreading mechanism 5 and the lifting conveyor 3.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0031] The conveyor is equipped with a lifting conveyor 3 and an automatic spreading mechanism 5 at the feed end. These components work together to spread the material evenly and transport it to the conveyor body 1. The lifting conveyor 3 is used to evenly carry out the material accumulated in the feed hopper 4 and lift it to the automatic spreading mechanism 5. When the material leaves the top of the lifting conveyor 3, it will fall more evenly onto the spreading roller 52 under the guidance of the guiding mechanism 53. The spreading roller 52 can gradually transport the material in contact with it forward by rotating itself. The material is frequently rotating during the conveying process, so it can avoid accumulation. The material will also move to the vacated position under the action of gravity during the movement, thus playing the role of automatic spreading. This makes the material conveyed to the conveyor body 1 highly uniform in distribution, which can facilitate efficient subsequent processing.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
