Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, and in particular to a feeding machine with a telescopic function. Background Technology

[0002] Alumina is a commonly used production material, and ceramic materials possess good conductivity, mechanical strength, and wear resistance. Due to its superior properties, its applications in modern society are becoming increasingly widespread, meeting the needs of daily use and special applications. In the alumina production process, the initially formed alumina is too large for production needs, requiring further sawing. The sawn material needs to be loaded into containers and fired. Currently, this is often done manually using funnels at regular or irregular intervals, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inaccurate, causing difficulties in production. For example, existing production lines for waste alumina powder rely on manual feeding. The problems with manual feeding are twofold: firstly, lower production efficiency and insufficient capacity; secondly, the waste alumina powder is highly corrosive, and workers should ideally avoid contact with the material to ensure their safety. Furthermore, existing feeders and production lines for waste alumina powder have large feeder sizes, occupying a large area, and are inconvenient to maintain.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a feeder with telescopic function that features automated operation, uniform feeding, and high safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a feeder with telescopic function that is automated, provides uniform feeding, and is highly safe.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeder with a telescopic function, comprising a housing, a support, a telescopic frame, a roller assembly, and a conveyor belt wound around the roller assembly. The housing is mounted on the support, and the telescopic frame is slidably connected to the feeding end of the housing via a pre-set movable component. The roller assembly includes a driving roller, a driven roller, a primary displacement roller, and a secondary displacement roller. The driving and driven rollers are both installed inside the housing, the primary displacement roller is mounted on the movable component, and the secondary displacement roller is mounted on the telescopic frame. The driving roller drives the overall operation of the conveyor belt, the driven roller cooperates with the operation of the driving roller, and the primary and secondary displacement rollers cooperate with the telescopic frame and movable component to extend and retract relative to the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, the movable component includes two mounting plates symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the housing, a connector for connecting the two mounting plates, two sets of sliding seats, two guide rods, and four fixed seats. The telescopic frame and the first-stage displacement roller are respectively located on the mounting plates. The fixed seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the housing. The guide rods are arranged horizontally between the two fixed seats. The sliding seats are installed on the bottom of the mounting plates and are sleeved on the guide rods.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a primary drive unit mounted on the housing and a secondary drive unit mounted on the bracket, wherein the primary drive unit is used to drive the active roller to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the secondary drive unit is connected to the connecting piece, and the secondary drive unit is used to drive the telescopic frame to extend and retract and cooperate with the conveyor belt to transport materials.

[0009] Furthermore, the secondary drive unit adopts a cylinder or electric cylinder structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding end of the housing is formed with a discharge port for the telescopic frame to telescopically move, and the feeding end of the housing is also provided with at least one set of support pulleys.

[0011] Furthermore, the roller assembly also includes an adjusting roller for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt. The inner walls on both sides of the housing are symmetrically formed with sliding grooves for the adjusting roller to slide in the horizontal direction. The adjusting roller is slidably connected to the sliding groove through a preset adjusting component.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the housing is provided with a dust cover, and the dust cover is provided with at least one dust suction port, wherein a dust suction device is connected to the dust suction port.

[0013] Furthermore, the feed end of the housing is also equipped with a receiving hopper, wherein the width of the top of the receiving hopper is greater than the width of the bottom of the receiving hopper, and the width of the bottom of the receiving hopper is less than the width of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a speed sensor for detecting the rotational speed of the active roller, the speed sensor being located on the housing.

[0015] The present invention adopts the above-described solution, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0016] Cost reduction: By setting a telescopic frame at the feeding end of the shell and setting a movable component to cooperate with the telescopic frame to achieve telescopic function, unlike traditional feeders, when it is necessary to transport materials over the same distance, the feeder in this embodiment can provide materials over the same distance while reducing the footprint, thus improving and optimizing space occupation and achieving the goal of reducing the production cost.

[0017] Uniform feeding: By installing a receiving hopper at the feed end of the shell, the receiving hopper collects and guides the material. Unlike traditional feeders where the material is scattered on the conveyor belt, in this embodiment, the material guided by the receiving hopper is evenly sprinkled on the conveyor belt, which makes it easier to transport the material evenly to the next process and avoids the failure of scattered material affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0018] High safety: The combination of conveyor belt and roller assembly enables automated material transport to the next process, avoiding direct contact between production personnel and materials. In addition, by setting baffles and dust suction ports on the shell, the amount of dust flying out during material transportation is reduced, thereby ensuring the safety of production personnel.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description of it is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0026] See appendix Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a feeder with telescopic function includes a housing 1, a support 2, a telescopic frame 5, a roller assembly 4, and a conveyor belt 3 wound around the roller assembly 4. The housing 1 is mounted on the support 2. The feeding end 11 of the housing 1 is formed with an outlet 111 for the telescopic frame 5 to telescopically move. The feeding end 11 of the housing 1 is also provided with at least one set, preferably two sets, of support pulleys 15. The telescopic frame 5 is slidably connected to the feeding end 11 of the housing 1 through a preset movable component 7. The support pulleys 15 support the extended telescopic frame 5, preventing the feeding section of the telescopic frame 5 from bending and deforming due to gravity after horizontal displacement, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the telescopic frame 5 reciprocating horizontal displacement.

[0027] See appendix Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the roller assembly 4 includes a driving roller 41, a driven roller 42, a primary displacement roller 43, and a secondary displacement roller 44. The driving roller 41 and driven roller 42 are both installed inside the housing 1. The primary displacement roller 43 is installed on the movable component 7, and the secondary displacement roller 44 is installed on the telescopic frame 5. The driving roller 41 drives the overall operation of the conveyor belt 3. The driven roller 42 cooperates with the operation of the driving roller 41. The primary displacement roller 43 and secondary displacement roller 44 cooperate with the telescopic frame 5 and the movable component 7 to extend and retract relative to the housing 1. Specifically, under normal circumstances, the conveyor belt 3 is folded and retracted with the horizontal displacement of the primary displacement roller 43 and the secondary displacement roller 44 in conjunction with the telescopic frame 5, reducing the floor space and ensuring normal conveying function. When an increased conveying distance is required, the conveying distance of the conveyor belt 3 is increased by extending the telescopic frame 5, thereby adapting to different needs.

[0028] See appendix Figure 3 As shown, the movable component 7 further includes two mounting plates 71 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the housing 1, a connector 72 for connecting the two mounting plates 71, two sets of sliding seats 74, two guide rods 75, and four fixed seats 76. The telescopic frame 5 and the first-stage displacement roller 43 are respectively located on the mounting plates 71. The fixed seats 76 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the housing 1. The guide rods 75 are arranged horizontally between the two fixed seats 76. The sliding seats 74 are installed on the bottom of the mounting plates 71 and are sleeved on the guide rods 75. Specifically, the mounting plates 71 slide horizontally on the guide rods 75 through the sliding seats 74, so that the telescopic frame 5 installed on the mounting plates 71 moves synchronously with the movement of the mounting plates 71, thereby realizing the extension and retraction functions of the telescopic frame 5.

[0029] See appendix Figure 1 , 2As shown, in this embodiment, a primary drive unit 14 is provided on the housing 1 and a secondary drive unit 77 is provided on the bracket 2. The primary drive unit 14 is used to drive the active roller 41 to rotate, thereby providing a power source for the operation of the conveyor belt 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the secondary drive unit 77 is connected to the connector 72. The secondary drive unit 77 is used to drive the telescopic frame 5 to extend and retract and cooperate with the conveyor belt 3 to transport materials. This allows the operator to control the secondary drive unit 77 to achieve the extension and retraction functions of the telescopic frame 5. Specifically, when the secondary drive unit 77 drives the telescopic frame 5 to extend, the secondary drive unit 77 cooperates with the primary drive unit 14 to drive the conveyor belt 3 to perform transmission. (At this time, the feeding speed of the feeder in this embodiment is the horizontal movement speed of the secondary drive unit 77 during extension plus the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3.) The material is received by the preset receiving device at the position below the feeding end 11, so that the conveying parts at different horizontal positions of the receiving device can evenly receive the material output by the feeder. When the material is conveyed to the above-mentioned conveying part, the flat surface of the material is flat. When the feeder completes feeding, the primary drive unit 14 stops working, the conveyor belt 3 stops running synchronously, and the secondary drive unit 77 drives the telescopic frame 5 to retract. (At this time, in this embodiment, the feeder only has the horizontal movement speed of the secondary drive unit 77 during retraction.)

[0031] Furthermore, the secondary drive unit 77 adopts a cylinder or electric cylinder structure, and the specific structure can be selected according to the actual situation; more specifically, when the secondary drive unit 77 adopts a cylinder structure, the air intake flow of the cylinder is adjusted by a preset throttle valve, so that the operator can adjust the feeding speed of the conveyor belt 3 according to the actual production needs.

[0032] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the roller assembly 4 also includes an adjusting roller 45 for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 3. The inner walls on both sides of the housing 1 are symmetrically formed with sliding grooves 13 for the adjusting roller 45 to slide in the horizontal direction. The adjusting roller 45 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 13 by a preset adjusting member 6. Specifically, the user can adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 3 by adjusting the adjusting roller 45 relative to the actual operation of the feeder in this embodiment, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor belt 3 and reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0033] See appendix Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the housing 1 is provided with a dust cover 16, and the dust cover 16 is provided with at least one, preferably two, dust suction ports 161. The dust suction ports 161 are connected to a dust suction device. By setting up the dust cover 16 and providing dust suction ports 161 on the dust cover 16, excessive dust is avoided during the feeding process, which could cause harm to production personnel. Secondly, by connecting the dust suction port 161 to the dust suction device, the overflow of flying dust is relatively reduced, further ensuring the safety of production personnel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the feed end 12 of the housing 1 is also equipped with a receiving hopper 121. The width of the top of the receiving hopper 121 is greater than the width of the bottom of the receiving hopper 121, and the width of the bottom of the receiving hopper 121 is less than the width of the conveyor belt 3. Specifically, by setting the relevant dimensions of the receiving hopper 121 and the conveyor belt 3, it is easier for the receiving hopper 121 to receive the material input in the previous process. Furthermore, the material is evenly distributed on the conveyor belt 3 under the action of the receiving hopper 121. The width of the material output from the receiving hopper 121 is less than the width of the conveyor belt 3, which prevents the material from overflowing into the feeder and damaging the equipment parts, thereby extending the service life of the feeder and reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] In this embodiment, a speed sensor 8 is also included for detecting the rotational speed of the active roller 41. The speed sensor 8 is located on the housing 1, so that the user can adjust the feeding speed of the feeder according to the rotational speed of the active roller 41 fed back by the speed sensor 8, so as to ensure that the feeding speed is maintained within a preset normal value and avoid excessive speed affecting the service life of the feeder.

[0036] To facilitate explanation, the following further explanation will be provided in conjunction with the specific working process of the feeder.

[0037] During normal operation: First, the primary drive unit 14 drives the active roller 41, which, in conjunction with the relevant rollers, drives the conveyor belt 3 to operate; second, the material processed in the previous process is conveyed to the receiving hopper 121, which then evenly sprinkles the received material onto the conveyor belt 3, so that the material sprinkled onto the conveyor belt 3 is transported by the conveyor belt 3 and conveyed to the next process through the discharge port 111, thereby completing the conveying work of the feeder;

[0038] When the telescopic frame 5 extends: First, the connecting piece 72 is driven by the secondary drive unit 77, causing the telescopic frame 5, which slides synchronously with the mounting plate 71, to move towards the discharge end. This causes the conveyor belt 3 to extend in coordination with the horizontal displacement of the telescopic frame 5, the primary displacement roller 43, and the secondary displacement roller 44, increasing the conveying distance of the conveyor belt 3, thereby completing the extension of the telescopic frame 5 (see Appendix for details). Figure 4 (as shown)

[0039] When the telescopic frame 5 is folded: First, the connecting piece 72 is driven by the secondary drive unit 77, causing the telescopic frame 5, which slides on the synchronous mounting plate 71, to move away from the discharge end. This causes the conveyor belt 3 to move horizontally in coordination with the telescopic frame 5, the primary displacement roller 43, and the secondary displacement roller 44, thereby causing the conveyor belt 3 on the telescopic frame 5 to fold, thus completing the folding operation of the telescopic frame 5 (see Appendix for details). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from its scope are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the concept of this utility model without departing from its scope should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
