Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone production technology, and in particular to a material storage bin for a silicone production feeder. Background Technology
[0002] Silica gel is a porous material formed by the multiple polymerization of single-molecule silicic acid. Its main chemical component is silicon dioxide, which has an amorphous structure. At room temperature and pressure, silica gel is usually a milky white or transparent, odorless solid granules. It is sparingly soluble in water, but its solubility increases with stronger alkalinity. It has the characteristics of chemical stability, good thermal stability, high mechanical strength, non-toxicity, and reusability. Silica gel can be used as a catalyst carrier for reactions such as olefin polymerization. By changing its activation physical conditions and physical properties, the relative molecular mass of synthesized polyethylene can be controlled. It can also be used as a carrier for ionic liquids, reducing the amount of ionic liquid used and improving reaction conversion rate and selectivity. It is used in pressure swing adsorption and denitrification in petrochemicals to purify nitrogen oxides in diesel or gasoline. Due to its rich pore structure and large specific surface area, it can preferentially adsorb unsaturated hydrocarbons in polar molecules, and its adsorption and denitrification effect is significantly better than other adsorbents. In addition, silicone can be used to manufacture seals, pipes, and other components in some medical devices. By utilizing the silanol groups on the silicone surface for bonding technology, the surface is silanized, giving it different functional groups. This can be used for the separation and purification of effective ingredients from traditional Chinese medicine. The appearance of silicone products is inspected, including color, shape, and particle uniformity. Appearance quality is also an important part of product quality and should meet relevant standards and customer requirements.
[0003] In the existing technology, the material storage bin of the feeding machine is an important component in the silicone production process. Its main function is to store the raw materials required for silicone production and provide a stable material supply for the subsequent feeding process, preventing frequent feeding. Only one feeding is needed to ensure a long-term supply of materials. During silicone production, feeding needs to be uniform and at a certain frequency.
[0004] However, silicone raw materials are prone to clumping during storage, especially in high-humidity environments. Clumped raw materials can affect subsequent processing quality and production efficiency. Most existing storage silos lack effective anti-caking measures, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity and flowability of the material. Material in the storage silos may experience blockages during discharge, especially when the material contains impurities or large particles, which can easily accumulate at the discharge port, leading to poor discharge and affecting the continuity of feeding. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material storage bin for a feeding machine in silicone production, which solves the problem in the prior art where raw materials easily clump together, causing blockage of the outlet and affecting feeding when feeding is required.

[0008] Preferably, the stabilizing mechanism includes two rollers rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating ring, and a receiving groove is provided on the top of the stabilizing ring, with the rollers located inside the receiving groove.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the stabilizing ring is fixedly connected with several L-shaped limiting rods, one end of which is located at the top of the rotating ring.
[0010] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper, and a spiral stirring rod fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two scrapers, with the bottom of the spiral stirring rod located inside the discharge pipe.

[0012] Preferably, a number of separating rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the force-bearing rod, the separating rods are fixedly connected to the adjacent scraper rods, and an intermediate rod is fixedly connected between two adjacent separating rods.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] During silicone production, the raw materials are fed through a motor that drives a spiral stirring rod to rotate.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5A material storage bin for a silicone production feeder includes a feeding bin 1. When silicone production is required, raw materials are first placed into the feeding bin 1. Then, when production is needed again, the raw materials in the feeding bin 1 are fed into the feeding machine. The feeding machine evenly and orderly feeds the raw materials into the processing equipment for processing. A stabilizing ring 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding bin 1, which is a structure that assists in stabilizing the rotating ring 7. A support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding bin 1, and a fixed plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 4. During the feeding process, the motor 5 can be started. The motor 5 is supported by the support frame 3 and the fixed plate 4, so after the motor 5 starts, it can ensure that it drives the transmission rod 6 to rotate, rather than the motor 5 rotating on its own. The output shaft of the motor 5 is driven by an inverted V-shaped transmission rod 6, and a rotating ring 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission rod 6. After the machine 5 is started, the motor 5 can drive the inverted V-shaped transmission rod 6 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 6 can drive the rotating ring 7 to rotate synchronously. A stabilizing mechanism 8 is provided between the rotating ring 7 and the stabilizing ring 2. When the rotating ring 7 rotates, the stabilizing mechanism 8 can cooperate with the stabilizing ring 2 to make the rotation of the rotating ring 7 more stable, thereby facilitating the stirring inside the feeding bin 1 and making the stirring inside the feeding bin 1 more stable. Two scraper rods 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ring 7. When the rotating ring 7 rotates, it can drive the two scraper rods 9 to rotate. The two scraper rods 9 can scrape the inner wall of the feeding bin 1 to prevent the raw materials from sticking to the inner wall of the feeding bin 1. A feeding mechanism 10 is provided at the bottom of the scraper rods 9. When feeding, the raw materials inside the feeding bin 1 can be driven away by the feeding mechanism 10, so that the raw materials enter the inside of the feeding machine and are then sent into the production equipment by the feeding machine.
[0024] Furthermore, the stabilizing mechanism 8 includes two rollers 801 rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating ring 7. The top of the stabilizing ring 2 has a receiving groove 802, and the rollers 801 are located inside the receiving groove 802. When the motor 5 is started to make the rotating ring 7 rotate, the rollers 801 on the rotating ring 7 will rotate accordingly. Since the rollers 801 are located inside the receiving groove 802 at the top of the stabilizing ring 2, the rotation of the rotating ring 7 will be more stable and will be restricted by the stabilizing ring 2 to prevent the rotating ring 7 from tilting and ensure the stability of the rotating ring 7 during rotation.
[0025] Furthermore, several L-shaped limiting rods 803 are fixedly connected to the surface of the stabilizing ring 2. One end of the limiting rod 803 is located at the top of the rotating ring 7. When it is necessary to restrict the roller 801 through the receiving groove 802 inside the stabilizing ring 2, the limiting rod 803 can also be used to conveniently restrict the rotating ring 7, ensuring that the rotating ring 7 is more stable when rotating.
[0026] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a discharge pipe 101 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 1, and a spiral stirring rod 102 fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two scrapers 9. The bottom of the spiral stirring rod 102 is located inside the discharge pipe 101. During the feeding process, the motor 5 is started, and the motor 5 can drive the scrapers 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the scrapers 9, the spiral stirring rod 102 can rotate. The spiral stirring rod 102 located inside the discharge pipe 101 can send out the raw material. During the sending process, the material can be discharged evenly through the spiral stirring rod 102, and it can also ensure that there is no blockage during discharge that affects the discharge efficiency. The raw material can be driven by the spiral stirring rod 102 to leave the discharge pipe 101 and enter the feeding machine, ensuring the supply of raw materials for production.
[0027] Furthermore, a force-bearing rod 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the spiral stirring rod 102. The force-bearing rod 103 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5. In actual use, the spiral stirring rod 102 can also be driven by the force-bearing rod 103 through the motor 5, so that the spiral stirring rod 102 has additional driving force. The material discharge will not be affected by the breakage of the scraper rod 9 and the spiral stirring rod 102, thus ensuring the stability of the material feeding of the spiral stirring rod 102, and making it convenient for the raw materials to enter the silicone production equipment for production.
[0028] Furthermore, several separating rods 104 are fixedly connected to the surface of the force-bearing rod 103. The separating rods 104 are fixedly connected to the adjacent scraper rods 9. An intermediate rod 105 is fixedly connected between two adjacent separating rods 104. When the force-bearing rod 103 assists in driving the spiral stirring rod 102 to stir, the raw materials inside the feeding hopper 1 can also be easily stirred through the separating rods 104, reducing the probability of raw material agglomeration and ensuring the flowability of raw materials, preventing large pieces of raw materials from getting stuck at the discharge pipe 101.
[0029] In summary:
[0030] During silicone production, raw materials need to be fed into the production equipment at a certain frequency. This process involves storing a large amount of raw material in the feeding hopper 1, which is then fed into the production equipment via a feeding machine. This reduces the rate of raw material addition. During subsequent production, the feeding machine feeds the raw material from the feeding hopper 1 into the production equipment. This process requires starting the motor 5 on the fixed plate 4. The support frame 3 ensures the stability of the fixed plate 4. After starting, the motor 5 drives the rotating ring 7 to rotate via the transmission rod 6. As the rotating ring 7 rotates, it moves within the receiving groove 802 at the top of the stabilizing ring 2 via rollers 801. The upper limit rod 803 restricts the rotation of the rotating ring 7, ensuring its stability. During rotation, the rotating ring 7 drives the scraper 9 to rotate as well. The scraper 9, during its rotation, can... The scraper 9 scrapes the inner wall of the feeding hopper 1 to ensure that the raw material does not adhere to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 1. While rotating, the scraper 9 can drive the spiral stirring rod 102 to rotate inside the feeding pipe 101, thereby feeding the raw material into the feeding machine for convenient feeding. The spiral stirring rod 102 can also be driven to rotate by the motor 5 through the force rod 103. During this process, the separating rod 104 can cooperate with the intermediate rod 105 to stir the raw material inside the feeding hopper 1, so that the raw material will not clump when it is inside the feeding hopper 1, and thus prevent the raw material from clumping in the feeding pipe 101 and affecting the discharge. With the above structure, when producing silicone, the spiral stirring rod 102 driven by the motor 5 can stably discharge the material and prevent the raw material from clogging the feeding pipe 101 during the discharge process, so that the discharge is smooth and the raw material does not adhere to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 1.
