Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, and in particular to a bucket elevator. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of animals raised by all people. In a narrower sense, feed mainly refers to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Feed includes more than ten kinds of feed raw materials such as soybeans, soybean meal, corn, fish meal, amino acids, miscellaneous meals, whey powder, oils, meat and bone meal, grains, and feed additives. Currently, bucket elevators are needed to transport raw materials in production.

[0003] The existing hoists have the following problems when in use:

[0004] Traditional elevators are prone to generating dust during the feeding and discharging processes, which can easily spread and pollute the working environment. At the same time, when the machine is stopped, insects or debris can easily enter the machine casing through the feed and discharge ports, causing hygiene hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing traditional bucket elevators, which are prone to generating dust during the feeding and discharging process, which can easily spread and pollute the working environment. At the same time, when the machine is stopped, insects or debris can easily enter the machine casing through the feed inlet and discharge outlet, causing hygiene hazards. Therefore, a bucket elevator is proposed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A bucket elevator includes a casing, a feeding hopper for easy addition of raw materials is fixedly provided on the bottom side of the casing, a feeding port is opened on the bottom side of the casing, the feeding hopper covers the feeding port, and a discharge port is located at the top of the casing, with an inclined plate fixedly provided on the inner wall of one side of the discharge port.

[0008] The two sides of the machine housing are rotatably connected to a first transmission roller, and the two sides of the machine housing are rotatably connected to a second transmission roller. The first transmission roller and the second transmission roller are connected to the same lifting belt, and multiple lifting buckets for conveying raw materials are fixedly installed on the lifting belt. A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the machine housing, and the output end of the motor passes through one side of the machine housing and is fixedly connected to one end of the first transmission roller.

[0009] A dust collection mechanism is installed on one side of the machine casing to collect dust generated during feeding and discharging.

[0010] A shielding mechanism is installed at the feed hopper and the discharge port of the machine casing to prevent insects from entering when the machine is not in use.

[0011] Furthermore, the dust collection mechanism includes a collection box for collecting dust and a fan for generating suction. One side of the collection box is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. The dust suction port of the fan is fixedly connected to and communicates with one side of the collection box. The top inner wall and bottom inner wall of the collection box are provided with inserts, and filter screens for filtering and intercepting are inserted into the two inserts. A sealing cover is fixed to one side of the collection box by bolts.

[0012] The top of the collection box is fixedly equipped with a first hose for absorbing dust generated during feeding and a second hose for absorbing dust generated during discharging. Both the first hose and the second hose are connected to the collection box. A second dust collection box is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the discharge port side of the machine casing. One end of the second hose passes through one side of the machine casing and is fixedly connected to one side of the second dust collection box, and the second hose is connected to the second dust collection box. One end of the first hose is fixedly equipped with a first dust collection box. Both the first dust collection box and the second dust collection box are provided with dust suction holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the shielding mechanism includes a shielding plate, an electric push rod for driving the shielding plate to move, and a cover. A second short plate is welded to one side of the housing. A second bracket is fixedly installed on the top side of the shielding plate. The fixed part of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to one side of the second short plate, and the telescopic part is fixedly connected to one side of the second bracket. The cover is T-shaped and covers the top of the feed hopper.

[0014] Furthermore, a first short plate is welded to one side of the housing, and a guide strip for improving the stability of the shield's movement is welded to one side of the first short plate. A first bracket is fixedly installed on the top side of the shield, and a moving hole is opened on the first bracket. The outer side of the guide strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving hole.

[0015] Furthermore, a U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on one side of the housing, and rotating rods for easy angle adjustment are fixedly installed on both sides of the first dust collection box. One end of each rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the U-shaped frame. A semi-circular plate is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame, and a threaded hole is opened on one side of the first dust collection box. An arc-shaped hole is opened on the semi-circular plate, and a threaded rod passes through the arc-shaped hole. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. A fixing ring for abutting and fixing with the semi-circular plate is fixedly sleeved on the threaded rod, and a torsion plate for easy rotation of the threaded rod is welded to one end of the threaded rod.

[0016] Furthermore, sound-absorbing cotton for sound absorption is fixedly provided on the inner side of the inclined plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly provided on one side of the collection box to improve the sealing performance between the collection box and the sealing cover.

[0018] In this application, during use, the angle of the first dust collection box is adjusted as needed. The torsion plate is twisted, causing the threaded rod to rotate within the threaded hole, disengaging the fixing ring from the semi-circular plate. Then, the first dust collection box is manually rotated via a rotating rod. After rotating to a suitable angle, the torsion plate is rotated again, causing the fixing ring to press tightly against the semi-circular plate for secure contact. The raw material is then poured into the feed hopper and enters the machine casing through the feed inlet. Simultaneously, the fan is activated, generating suction that absorbs dust or smoke generated during the feeding process through the first hose and the first dust collection box. The dust is then filtered by the filter screen. After being cut off, the material remains in the collection box. The motor is started, and its output drives the first transmission roller to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission roller via a lifting belt. The lifting buckets on the lifting belt move in a cycle, lifting the material from the bottom to the top of the machine casing. The lifting buckets then begin to rotate, and the material, under centrifugal force, is thrown towards the machine casing's discharge port. It then slides out through the inclined plate and discharge port guide, completing the discharge process. Dust generated during discharge is absorbed by the second hose and the second dust collection box, and also enters the collection box where it is intercepted by a filter screen. After interception, it is discharged through the fan's outlet. The lifting buckets are flush with the inner wall of the machine casing. Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, this design prevents residual material from accumulating at the bottom of the machine casing. After completing the lifting task, the motor and fan are turned off, and the electric push rod is started. The retraction of the electric push rod's telescopic part moves the baffle plate, covering the feed hopper and the discharge port of the machine casing. The cover is placed on top of the feed hopper, effectively preventing insects from entering the machine casing when it is not in use. The inclined plate acts as a shield for the second dust collection box, preventing raw materials from falling onto it. The sound-absorbing cotton can absorb the sound generated during the material conveying and discharge process, reducing noise. Of course, sound-absorbing cotton can also be replaced with sound-absorbing panels. In actual use, dust collection can be selected according to the type of raw material being conveyed. It should be noted that the motor, fan, and electric push rod require an external power supply and an external controller for operation. A high-power, high-suction fan can be selected.

[0019] In this utility model, the bucket elevator uses a dust collection mechanism to start a fan and generate suction. The dust (or smoke) generated during the feeding process is absorbed through a first hose and a first dust collection box. The dust is intercepted by a filter screen and remains in the collection box. The dust generated during the discharge process is absorbed by a second hose and a second dust collection box, and also enters the collection box where it is intercepted by a filter screen. After interception, it is discharged through the exhaust port of the fan, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0020] In this utility model, the bucket elevator uses a shielding mechanism to activate an electric push rod. The retraction of the telescopic part of the electric push rod causes the shielding plate to move, covering the feed hopper and the discharge port of the machine casing. The cover is placed on the top of the feed hopper, which can effectively prevent insects from entering the machine casing when the machine is not in use.

[0021] In this invention, the dust or smoke generated during the feeding and discharging process can be collected by the dust collection mechanism, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. The shielding mechanism can effectively prevent insects from entering the machine casing when the machine is not in use. Attached Figure Description
