Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste collection technology, specifically to a transitional receiving hopper for keel scrap. Background Technology
[0002] Keel scraps refer to the leftover scraps generated during the production of keels. These scraps cannot be used as complete keel products because they do not meet the requirements in terms of shape, size, or quality. They need to be collected and processed in a centralized manner. Usually, a small garbage hopper is used to collect the scraps at the discharge point of the keel machine. After the hopper is full, it is manually poured into a fixed large receiving hopper or a special garbage bag.
[0003] Manual collection and transfer of scrap materials requires repeated operations, which is inefficient and inconvenient. To improve efficiency and facilitate operation, existing technologies typically use forklifts to transport and dump scrap materials. A receiving hopper is placed at the scrap material discharge point of the keel machine. After the receiving hopper is full, the forklift is used to transport the receiving hopper to a designated area. Then, the forks are tilted downwards to unload the receiving hopper and dump the scrap materials out of it.
[0004] In existing technology, after the forks remove the receiving hopper, the hopper is usually tilted manually to completely empty the scrap material. Then, the forklift takes the receiving hopper back to its original position. The tilting method of unloading relies on manual labor and may require the receiving hopper to be flipped over to completely unload the scrap material. If the scrap material in the receiving hopper is too heavy, the unloading process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a transitional receiving hopper for keel scrap to solve the technical problem that it is difficult to manually flip the receiving hopper when the scrap is too heavy in the existing technology.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A keel scrap transition receiving hopper includes a receiving chamber, and a pair of unloading hoppers are symmetrically installed at the discharge port of the receiving chamber. A control lever for controlling the opening and closing of the unloading hopper is installed on one of the unloading hoppers.
[0008] The unloading hopper is rotatably installed at the discharge port of the receiving chamber via a connecting shaft. Gears are installed on the connecting shaft, and adjacent gears mesh with each other.
[0009] By pushing or pulling the control lever, one of the unloading hoppers is driven to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft rotates accordingly and drives the other unloading hopper to rotate through the gear. The two unloading hoppers simultaneously expand outward or close inward.
[0010] When the two unloading hoppers expand outwards, they move away from each other, opening the discharge port of the receiving chamber; when the two unloading hoppers retract inwards, they move closer to each other, closing the discharge port of the receiving chamber.
[0011] Furthermore,
[0012] Several upright legs are installed at the corners of the receiving compartment, and a claw is installed on one of the upright legs.
[0013] The control lever can pass through and be fixed to the chuck to fix the two discharge hoppers in the retracted state.
[0014] Furthermore,
[0015] A conical hopper is formed in the middle of the receiving chamber. The conical hopper is in the shape of an inverted frustum. The discharge port of the receiving chamber is located at the bottom of the conical hopper.
[0016] Furthermore,
[0017] The conical bucket sidewall is connected to a lifting spring, and the end of the lifting spring is connected to the unloading bucket sidewall.
[0018] Furthermore,
[0019] The bottom of the upright leg is equipped with nylon wheels.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0021] In this invention, the receiving hopper is designed with a controllable opening and closing of the discharge port. By pushing and pulling the control lever, one of the discharge hoppers is driven to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft follows the rotation and drives the other discharge hopper to rotate through gears. The opening or closing of the discharge port of the receiving hopper is controlled by the gear meshing, and the scrap material of the keel is directly poured out, avoiding the time-consuming and laborious problem of manually assisting in pouring the scrap material, and improving the convenience of scrap material discharge.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a keel scrap transition receiving hopper, including a receiving chamber 3, a pair of unloading hoppers 4 symmetrically installed at the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3, and an operating lever 11 for controlling the opening and closing of the unloading hopper 4 installed on one of the unloading hoppers 4.
[0030] The unloading hopper 4 is rotatably installed at the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 via a connecting shaft. Gears 7 are installed on the connecting shaft, and adjacent gears 7 mesh with each other.
[0031] By pushing and pulling the control lever 11, one of the unloading hoppers 4 is driven to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft rotates accordingly and drives the other unloading hopper 4 to rotate through the gear 7. The two unloading hoppers 4 expand outward or close inward in sync.
[0032] When the two unloading hoppers 4 expand outwards, they move away from each other, causing the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 to open. When the two unloading hoppers 4 retract inwards, they move closer to each other, causing the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 to close.
[0033] In this invention, the receiving hopper is designed with a controllable opening and closing of the discharge port. By pushing and pulling the control lever 11, one of the discharge hoppers 4 is driven to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft follows the rotation and drives the other discharge hopper 4 to rotate through the gear 7. The opening or closing of the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 is controlled by the meshing of the gear 7, and the scrap material of the keel is directly poured out, avoiding the problem of having to flip the receiving hopper to unload when manually assisting in pouring the scrap material 1.
[0034] After manually pressing down on the control lever 11 to control the two unloading hoppers 4 to close, if the lever is released directly, the unloading hoppers 4 may open instantly under the action of the lifting springs 6 on both sides. In order to keep the unloading hoppers 4 in a closed state and to avoid continuous manual pressing, several upright legs 12 are installed at the corners of the receiving chamber 3. One of the upright legs 12 is equipped with a claw 13. After the control lever 11 controls the unloading hoppers 4 to close, it can pass through and be fixed on the claw 13.
[0035] In order to completely remove the scrap material 1 from the receiving chamber 3 as much as possible, the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 is located at the bottom of the entire device. Specifically, a conical hopper 16 is formed in the middle of the receiving chamber 3. The conical hopper 16 is in the shape of an inverted frustum. The discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 is located at the bottom of the conical hopper 16. When the discharge hopper 4 is opened, the scrap material 1 falls downward due to its own gravity.
[0036] In use, if the unloading hopper 4 is opened only by the meshing of adjacent gears 7, there may be a problem of the discharge port being blocked due to the slow opening speed of the unloading hopper 4. In order to open the unloading hopper 4 faster during unloading, a lifting spring 6 is connected to the side wall of the conical hopper 16, and the end of the lifting spring 6 is connected to the side wall of the unloading hopper 4.
[0037] When the control lever 11 is slightly lifted to open the unloading hopper 4, the unloading hopper 4 opens instantly with the assistance of the pulling force of the lifting springs 6 on its sides.
[0038] In actual use, there will inevitably be situations where the receiving hopper needs to be moved manually. In order to facilitate the manual movement of the receiving hopper, nylon wheels 10 are installed at the bottom of the upright leg 12. The nylon wheels 10 can be either fixed nylon wheels or universal lockable nylon wheels.
[0039] Meanwhile, in order to increase the stability of the receiving hopper, an adjusting spring 8 is installed inside the bottom of the upright leg 12. One end of the adjusting spring 8 is connected to the nylon wheel 10. When the receiving hopper is on an uneven ground, the adjusting spring 8 at the bottom of the upright leg 12 uses its own elasticity to make the nylon wheel 10 at the bottom of the receiving hopper contact the ground. At this time, the upright leg 12 does not suspend in the air, so that the receiving hopper is stable on the ground.
[0040] In this utility model, in order to install the connecting shaft at the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3, side plates 5 are symmetrically installed at the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3. The side plates 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical bucket 16, and a discharge port is formed between the two symmetrical side plates 5. The connecting shaft is rotatably installed on the side plates 5, and the gear is installed on the connecting shaft. The gear is located in the gap between the outer wall of the unloading hopper 4 and the side plates 5.
[0041] Since components such as the unloading hopper 4 and gear 7 have certain limits of movement during operation, in order to prevent the unloading hopper 4 and gear 7 from being crushed due to exceeding their range of movement when the control lever 11 controls the opening and closing of the unloading hopper 4 by pulling it up too high or pressing it down too low, a pin 14 is installed on the upright leg 12 at the upper and lower positions of the chuck 13. The pin 14 is used to limit the range of movement of the control lever 11. That is to say, when the control lever 11 controls the opening and closing of the unloading hopper 4, it only moves between the upper and lower pins 14.
[0042] In order to facilitate the movement of the forklift hopper, forklift forks are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the conical hopper 16 for inserting forklift forks;
[0043] In practical applications, to facilitate the loading of scrap materials into the receiving chamber 3, a slag discharger 9 is installed between the receiving chamber 3 and the scrap material discharge point of the keel machine. The slag discharger 9 can be a belt conveyor structure for transporting scrap materials.
[0044] Once the receiving hopper 3 is full, the receiving hopper is pushed away from the slag discharge machine 9, and then a forklift picks up the special forklift pipe 15 below the conical hopper 16 and transports it to a special collection garbage bag (a large nylon woven bag for easy sale of scrap materials).
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to feed material into the receiving hopper, the receiving hopper can be placed below the discharge port of the slag discharge machine 9, so that the discharge port of the slag discharge machine 9 is directly opposite the inlet of the receiving chamber 3.
[0046] The operation of the reducer 2 drives the drag chain (or belt) on the slag discharge machine 9 to transport the keel scrap 1 to the discharge port of the slag discharge machine 9 and drop it into the receiving chamber 3.
[0047] When in use, before receiving the scrap material 1 in the receiving hopper 3, press the control lever 11 down and drive one of the unloading hoppers 4 to rotate down. At this time, the adjacent gear 7 meshes and drives the other unloading hopper 4 to rotate down until the two unloading hoppers 4 are closed, and the control lever 11 is engaged on the pawl 13 on the upright leg 12.
[0048] When the receiving hopper is placed at the discharge port below the slag discharger 9, the scrap material 1 is thrown into the receiving hopper by the drag chain driven by the reducer 2. After the receiving hopper is full of scrap material 1, the receiving hopper is transported to the centralized collection station by a forklift.
[0049] Manually pulling the control lever 11 upwards causes one of the unloading hoppers 4 to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft rotates accordingly and drives the other unloading hopper 4 to rotate through the gear 7. The two unloading hoppers 4 expand outwards synchronously, and the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 opens. At this time, all the scrap material 1 in the receiving hopper is poured out.
[0050] In summary, this utility model addresses the problem that it is difficult to manually flip the receiving hopper when the waste material 1 in the existing receiving hopper is too heavy. It designs a transitional receiving hopper for keel waste material, which is designed with a controllable opening and closing of the discharge port. By pushing and pulling the control lever 11, one of the discharge hoppers 4 is driven to rotate around the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft follows the rotation and drives the other discharge hopper 4 to rotate through the gear 7. The opening or closing of the discharge port of the receiving chamber 3 is controlled by the meshing of the gear 7, and the keel waste material is directly poured out. This avoids the time-consuming and laborious problem of manually assisting in pouring the waste material 1, and improves the convenience of material unloading.
