Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Vinegar is a condiment made from starch as raw material through stages such as microbial koji making, saccharification, alcoholic fermentation, and acetic acid fermentation. It is loved by people because of its unique color, aroma, and taste. In the process of vinegar brewing, various raw materials are often added.

[0003] Fixed feeding devices are usually set up in a fixed location and transport materials to the fermentation tank via conveyor belts or screw conveyors. Although this method is structurally stable, it is inadequate when dealing with multiple fermentation tanks of different heights, which not only increases labor intensity but may also introduce the risk of contamination.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a feeding device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A feeding device includes a base 1, a chassis 2 on the base 1, a storage hopper 3 fixedly mounted on the chassis 2, a height adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the height of the storage hopper 3 between the chassis 2 and the base 1, the height adjustment mechanism 4 being a hydraulic cylinder 41, the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 41 being mounted on the base 1, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 being fixedly connected to the chassis 2, a guide rod 11 being vertically mounted on the base 1, and a guide hole cooperating with the guide rod 11 being provided on the chassis 2. In this embodiment, four guide rods 11 and four guide holes are provided, forming a rectangle, and a first universal wheel 12 with a lock is provided at the bottom of the base 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 1 is also vertically provided with a material extraction pipe 5. One end of the material extraction pipe 5 is inserted into the storage hopper 3, and the other end is connected to a feeding pipe 6. The material extraction pipe 5 and the feeding pipe 6 are connected and rotated. The rotation axis of the feeding pipe 6 is perpendicular to both the axis of the feeding pipe 6 and the axis of the material extraction pipe 5. In this embodiment, there are two material extraction pipes 5, and the feeding pipe 6 is rotated to both material extraction pipes 5. A conveying auger 61 is rotatably installed inside the feeding pipe 6. A motor is also installed on the feeding pipe 6. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotation axis of the conveying auger 61. A discharge port 62 is opened at the end of the feeding pipe 6 away from the material extraction pipe 5. The conveying auger 61 can rotate under the drive of the motor, pushing the raw material of the feeding pipe 6 toward the discharge port 62.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the initial state, the feeding pipe 6 is set horizontally, and a support frame 7 is slidably set below the feeding pipe 6 to support the feeding pipe 6. A locking structure 8 is set between the support frame 7 and the feeding pipe 6. A sliding member 71 is rotatably set on the upper end of the support frame 7. The sliding member 71 abuts and cooperates with the lower end of the feeding pipe 6 to form a sliding connection. The locking structure 8 includes multiple threaded holes 81 arrayed on the outside of the feeding pipe 6. Bolts are threaded through the sliding member 71 and threadedly connected to the threaded holes 81. A second universal wheel 72 with lock is also set below the support frame 7.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The height adjustment mechanism 4 between the storage hopper 3 and the base 1 can adjust the height of the storage hopper 3 by pushing the base 2 up and down through the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 when the height of the storage hopper 3 needs to be adjusted. This adjusts the height of the storage hopper 3 and the extraction pipe 5, and consequently the height of the end of the feeding pipe 6 near the extraction pipe 5. Furthermore, in conjunction with the sliding support frame, it can adjust the tilt angle of the entire feeding pipe 6 and the height of the outlet 62 to adapt to different fermenters. The guide rod 11 ensures that the storage hopper 3 remains vertical during up and down movement, preventing tilting. When the storage hopper 3 needs to be raised, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 extends, pushing the base 2 upward, and the storage hopper 3 rises accordingly. When the storage hopper 3 needs to be lowered, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 retracts, the base 2 moves downward, and the storage hopper 3 descends accordingly.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding pipe 6 is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding element 71 is located in the sliding groove and forms a sliding fit, the threaded hole 81 is located on the surface of the sliding groove, and is rotatably connected to the support frame 7 by the sliding element 71 and slides in the sliding groove, so as to realize the back and forth movement of the support frame 7. The combined height adjustment mechanism 4 can change the tilt angle of the feeding pipe 6 and the height of the discharge port 62. The suction pipe 5 is provided with a fan, which is used to draw the material from the storage hopper 3 and send it into the feeding pipe 6.

[0037] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the rotational connection and sliding fit between the extraction pipe 5 and the feeding pipe 6 allow the feeding pipe 6 to freely adjust its angle and position, enhancing the flexibility of the feeding device. The design of the hydraulic cylinder 41 and the guide rod 11 ensures that the storage hopper 3 is stable and reliable during height adjustment, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency. The sliding fit and locking structure 8 between the support frame 7 and the feeding pipe 6, as well as the threaded holes 81 and bolt connections on both sides of the feeding pipe 6, make the support frame 7 more securely fixed, adapting to fermenters of different heights and positions. The installation of the exhaust fan and the conveying auger 61 effectively improves the efficiency of material conveying, reduces manual intervention, and improves overall work efficiency.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
