Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment, and in particular to a screw conveyor type feeding hopper. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural machinery and equipment, silos are common components, mainly used to store materials such as straw, and to transport materials into the baling equipment when baling is required. Currently, the material conveying of silos is mainly based on the horizontal conveyor chain network located at the bottom of the silo. During the conveying process, material blockage is prone to occur, causing the material to lose contact with the horizontal conveyor chain network and failing to complete the conveying operation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a screw conveyor hopper to improve the conveying efficiency inside the hopper and reduce the adverse effects of material blockage on its operational performance.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A screw conveyor-type feeding hopper includes a hopper body and a horizontal conveyor chain. The top and bottom surfaces of the hopper body are open structures, and the horizontal conveyor chain is located at the bottom surface of the hopper body. The hopper body is characterized by further including three sets of stirring components. The stirring components are located inside the hopper body, and their height is located in the middle or lower-middle part of the hopper body. The drive shaft of the stirring component passes through the side wall of the hopper body and is rotatably installed. The drive shaft is also connected to the drive component.
[0006] The stirring assembly includes a spiral stirring blade mounted on the outside of the drive shaft.
[0007] The mixing components are provided in at least two sets, and the mixing components are evenly distributed along the length of the silo body.
[0008] The spiral stirring blades consist of two symmetrically distributed sets, and are used to transport materials from both sides of the silo body to the center.
[0009] The stirring assembly includes several sets of parallel stirring blades mounted on the outside of the drive shaft.
[0010] The stirring assembly is located near the end of the horizontal conveyor chain and uses stirring blades to transport materials from the inside of the hopper body to the discharge port at the end of the horizontal conveyor chain.
[0011] It also includes a silo support, on which the silo body, the horizontal conveyor chain, and the drive shaft ends of the mixing assembly are respectively mounted.
[0012] The hopper support is provided with a crossbeam, and the end of the drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the crossbeam via a bearing support.
[0013] The middle and lower parts of the vertical cross-section of the silo body are inverted trapezoidal shapes with the width gradually decreasing from top to bottom.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the structure is reasonably designed, and by adding a stirring component inside the silo body, the material in the silo body can still be driven to move by the stirring component even when it is separated from the horizontal conveyor chain, thereby alleviating the blockage and having the effect of actively conveying material to the horizontal conveyor chain, thus improving the conveying effect inside the silo body and reducing the adverse effects of material blockage on its operation.

[0019] In the diagram: 100 hopper body, 101 discharge port, 200 hopper support, 201 crossbeam, 300 horizontal conveyor chain, 401 bearing support, 402 drive shaft, 403 spiral agitator, 404 agitator blade. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0021] according to Figures 1 to 4As shown: This embodiment provides a screw conveyor type feeding hopper, including a hopper body 100, a hopper support 200, a stirring assembly, and a horizontal conveyor chain 300. The top and bottom surfaces of the hopper body 100 are open structures. The middle and lower parts of the vertical cross-section of the hopper body 100 are inverted trapezoidal shapes with the width gradually decreasing from top to bottom, giving it a structure with a large upper space and a gradually decreasing lower space. The horizontal conveyor chain 300 is distributed along the length of the hopper body 100 and is set at the bottom surface of the hopper body 100. It is used to convey the material inside the hopper body 100 to the discharge port 101. The outer side of the hopper body 100 is welded and fixed inside the hopper support 200, and is supported and fixed on the ground or other equipment by the hopper support 200. The stirring assembly is installed inside the hopper body 100 and plays an active role in conveying the material.
[0022] The stirring assembly includes three sets. The stirring assembly is set at the lower middle part of the silo body 100. The drive shaft 402 of the stirring assembly passes through the side wall of the silo body 100 and is rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 201 of the silo support 200 through the bearing support 401. At the same time, the drive shaft 402 is also connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly adopts a geared motor. The geared motor can be set up alone or linked with the geared motor of the horizontal conveyor chain.
[0023] The two sets of stirring components are respectively set on the left and right sides of the middle position of the hopper body 100, so that the stirring components are evenly distributed along the length direction of the hopper body 100. The stirring components include spiral stirring blades 403 installed on the outside of the drive shaft 402. The spiral stirring blades 403 include two sets symmetrically distributed. The spiral stirring blades 403 are used to convey the material from both sides of the hopper body 100 to the middle, so that the material can fall down from the middle of the hopper body 100 onto the horizontal conveyor chain 300 for conveying, and leave the hopper body 100 at the discharge port 101.
[0024] One set of mixing components is installed near the discharge port 101. The mixing component includes four sets of parallel mixing blades 404 installed on the outside of the drive shaft 402. The outer side of the mixing blades 404 includes three crescent-shaped working parts. The mixing component is located near the end of the horizontal conveyor chain 300 and conveys the material from the inside of the silo body 100 to the discharge port 101 at the end of the horizontal conveyor chain 300 through the mixing blades 404. This allows the material accumulated at the bottom of the silo body 100 to be conveyed to the outside of the discharge port 101 through the mixing blades 404. Together with the other two sets of mixing components, it forms an active material conveying system outside the horizontal conveyor chain 300.
[0025] In summary, under the combined action of the mixing components and the horizontal conveyor chain 300, the material inside the silo body 100 can form a continuous and active conveying action, thereby making the material conveying process smoother and reducing the adverse effects of material blockage on its operation.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
