Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silos, and in particular to a feeding device for an aluminum scrap silo. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum slag, also known as aluminum ash, is one of the many byproducts generated during aluminum smelting and forming. In existing technologies, aluminum slag needs to be transported to a silo for storage through a feeding and conveying system.
[0003] However, existing silo feeding and conveying devices typically use a single conveyor belt structure. Aluminum slag falls directly from the conveyor belt into the silo, forming a cone shape inside the silo, resulting in uneven distribution. This may reduce the utilization rate of the silo space, with some areas accumulating excessively while others remain relatively empty. Uneven accumulation may lead to excessive local pressure in the silo, affecting its structural stability. Therefore, an aluminum slag silo feeding device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the formation of a cone shape within the silo, resulting in uneven distribution. This uneven distribution may lead to reduced silo space utilization, excessive accumulation in some areas while other areas remain relatively empty, and excessive local pressure within the silo, affecting its structural stability. Therefore, this invention proposes an aluminum scrap silo feeding device to solve the above problems.
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A feeding device for an aluminum scrap silo, comprising:
[0007] The silo body has a feed inlet at its top, and a feed pipe for conveying aluminum scrap into the silo body is inserted into the inner wall of the feed inlet. The inner cavity of the silo body is equipped with a material distribution assembly, which includes:
[0008] A longitudinal moving unit includes a drive motor and a slider. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the hopper body, and a longitudinal screw is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the output end of the drive motor. The outer wall of the slider is threadedly connected to the longitudinal screw.
[0009] A lateral moving unit includes an output motor and a moving block. The output motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider. A lateral screw is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the output end of the output motor, and the moving block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lateral screw. One end of the feed pipe is mounted on the moving block.
[0010] Preferably, a support block is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the silo body, and a longitudinal rod is fixedly provided between the two sets of support blocks, with a connecting block movably sleeved on the outer wall of the longitudinal rod.
[0011] Preferably, an extension block is fixedly provided on the top of the connecting block, and the other end of the transverse screw is rotatably connected to the extension block through a bearing.
[0012] Preferably, a crossbar is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting block, and the other end of the crossbar is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the slider.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable block has a circular hole, and the circular hole on the outer wall of the movable block is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the crossbar.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. In this utility model, by setting up the connection relationship between the silo body, the feeding pipe, the longitudinal moving unit, the transverse moving unit, the receiving bucket, and the discharge hopper, aluminum scrap is transported through the feeding pipe to the receiving bucket and falls into the silo body through the discharge hopper. In use, the drive motor drives the longitudinal screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slider to move longitudinally. When the slider moves to the first step distance, the drive motor stops rotating and keeps the longitudinal screw stationary. At this time, the output motor starts, which drives the transverse screw to rotate, which in turn drives the moving block to move laterally. The moving block then drives the discharge hopper to move laterally within the silo body. Through the cooperation of the longitudinal and transverse moving units, the discharge hopper passes through various parts of the silo body, ensuring that the aluminum scrap in the feeding pipe is evenly distributed within the silo body. This further improves the space utilization rate within the silo body, helps maintain uniform stress on the silo body, and thus enhances the stability of the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0029] Example: This example provides an aluminum scrap silo feeding device, see [link to example]. Figure 1-5 Specifically, including:
[0030] The silo body 1 has a feed inlet at its top, and a feed pipe 101 for conveying aluminum scrap into the silo body 1 is inserted into the inner wall of the feed inlet. The aluminum scrap is conveyed into the silo body 1 through the feed pipe 101 for collection and storage. The inner cavity of the silo body 1 is equipped with a material distribution assembly, which includes:
[0031] The longitudinal movement unit includes a drive motor 2 and a slider 202. The drive motor 2 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the hopper body 1, and a longitudinal screw 201 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the output end of the drive motor 2. The outer wall of the slider 202 is threadedly connected to the longitudinal screw 201. In use, by starting the drive motor 2, the drive motor 2 drives the longitudinal screw 201 to rotate, so that the rotating longitudinal screw 201 drives the slider 202 to move longitudinally, so that the slider 202 moves longitudinally within the hopper body 1.
[0032] The lateral movement unit includes an output motor 3 and a moving block 302. The output motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider 202. A lateral screw 301 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the output end of the output motor 3, and the moving block 302 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lateral screw 301. One end of the feed pipe 101 is mounted on the moving block 302. In use, by starting the output motor 3, the output motor 3 drives the lateral screw 301 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving block 302 to move laterally. The moving block 302 moves laterally within the hopper body 1. Through the cooperation of the longitudinal movement unit and the lateral movement unit, the aluminum scrap in the feed pipe 101 is evenly spread within the hopper body 1, further improving the space utilization rate within the hopper body 1 and helping to maintain the uniform stress on the hopper body 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0033] The inner wall of the silo body 1 is fixedly provided with support blocks, and a longitudinal rod 4 is fixedly provided between the two sets of support blocks. A connecting block 401 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the longitudinal rod 4. The movement range and movement path of the connecting block 401 are restricted by the sliding of the connecting block 401 on the outer wall of the longitudinal rod 4.
[0034] An extension block is fixedly provided on the top of the connecting block 401, and the other end of the transverse screw 301 is rotatably connected to the extension block through a bearing, which supports the other end of the transverse screw 301, improves the stability of the transverse screw 301, and restricts the movement path of the slider 202.
[0035] A crossbar 303 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting block 401, and the other end of the crossbar 303 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the slider 202, which is used to connect the connecting block 401 and the slider 202 together.
[0036] The outer wall of the movable block 302 has a circular hole, and the circular hole on the outer wall of the movable block 302 is movably fitted onto the outer wall of the crossbar 303. By sliding the movable block 302 along the outer wall of the crossbar 303, the range and path of movement of the movable block 302 are restricted.
[0037] A connecting ring 304 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable block 302, and a receiving barrel 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting ring 304. One end of the feed pipe 101 is fixedly installed in the receiving barrel 5, and aluminum scrap is transported to the receiving barrel 5 through the feed pipe 101.
[0038] A connecting box 501 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the container 5, and a discharge hopper 502 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting box 501. The aluminum scrap passes through the connecting box 501 and falls into the main body of the silo 1 through the discharge hopper 502.
[0039] A support plate 503 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting box 501, and a rotary motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 503. A rotary shaft 601 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor 6, and a distribution plate 602 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotary shaft 601. Multiple distribution plates 602 are provided. During use, the aluminum scrap in the receiving bucket 5 falls between the two distribution plates 602 under the action of gravity, which facilitates the sealing of the bottom of the receiving bucket 5 and prevents the aluminum scrap from falling into the main body of the hopper 1. This makes it convenient for users to handle the aluminum scrap in the main body of the hopper 1 without the aluminum scrap falling at will, improving safety. Moreover, the rotary motor 6 drives the rotary shaft 601 to rotate, which in turn drives the distribution plate 602 to rotate, thereby controlling the discharge amount and discharge speed and improving practicality.
[0040] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:
[0041] In use, aluminum scrap is conveyed to the receiving bin 5 through the feed pipe 101. The aluminum scrap in the receiving bin 5 falls between the two component measuring plates 602 under gravity. The rotary motor 6 starts, driving the rotating shaft 601 to rotate, which in turn drives the component plates 602 to rotate, causing the aluminum scrap between the two component measuring plates 602 to rotate to the discharge hopper 502 and fall into the silo body 1 under gravity. In use, the drive motor 2 is started, causing the longitudinal screw 201 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the longitudinal screw 201 causes the slider 202 to move backward. The backward movement of the slider 202 drives the output motor 3, the transverse screw 301, and the connecting block 401 to move backward. After moving a certain distance, the drive motor 2 stops rotating, keeping the longitudinal screw 201 stationary. At this time, the output motor 3 starts, driving the transverse screw 301 to rotate clockwise, causing the clockwise rotation of the transverse screw 301 to rotate clockwise. 301 drives the moving block 302 to move to the left. The moving block 302 moves to the left, which in turn drives the connecting ring 304 to move to the left. This causes the connecting ring 304 to move the receiving bucket 5 and the discharge hopper 502 to move to the left, allowing the aluminum scrap to fall through the discharge hopper 502 to the moving position of the moving block 302. When the moving block 302 moves to the left to the edge of the transverse screw 301, the drive motor 2 continues to start. The longitudinal screw 201 rotates, causing the slider 202 to move to the next lower distance. After the movement, the drive motor 2 stops. At this time, the output motor 3 drives the transverse screw 301 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the moving block 302 to move to the right, thus moving the aluminum scrap. The same principle applies to subsequent movements. Through the cooperation of the longitudinal and transverse moving units, the aluminum scrap in the feed pipe 101 is evenly spread in the silo body 1, further improving the space utilization rate in the silo body 1 and helping to maintain the uniform stress on the silo body 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0042] 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.
