Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry bulk cargo hopper technology, and in particular to a dry bulk cargo hopper. Background Technology
[0002] A dry bulk cargo hopper is a funnel-shaped device used in the loading, unloading, and transportation of dry bulk cargo. It is used to guide dry bulk cargo (such as coal, ore, grain, etc.) from one place (such as a storage yard or wagon) to another place (such as a ship hold or conveyor belt), playing a role in concentrating and guiding the flow, so that the dry bulk cargo can be loaded, unloaded, and transferred smoothly.
[0003] During this process, the funnel inevitably experiences wear on its inner wall due to prolonged operation. If it is not repaired or replaced in time, further wear will lead to the funnel body being worn through. To solve the above problems and improve the service life of the funnel, wear-resistant liners need to be installed on the inner wall of the funnel body. For example, a tile-type spliced ceramic wear-resistant plate disclosed in announcement number CN220097283U includes a funnel body. The inner wall of the funnel body has two first ceramic plates, two second ceramic plates, eight third ceramic plates, two fourth ceramic plates, and two fifth ceramic plates fixed to it by an intermediate adhesive. The first ceramic plates and the fourth ceramic plates all have mounting holes on their front sides.
[0004] When the wear-resistant liner in the above solution is worn, personnel need to be hoisted into the narrow space of the funnel to replace it, which poses a significant safety hazard. Moreover, the replacement operation is time-consuming, affecting the continuity of the dry bulk cargo loading and unloading process and impacting work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the current issues that replacing wear-resistant liners requires hoisting personnel into the confined space of a funnel, posing significant safety hazards, and that the replacement process is time-consuming, disrupting the continuity of dry bulk cargo loading and unloading and reducing work efficiency, this utility model provides a dry bulk cargo funnel.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A dry bulk cargo funnel includes a funnel body with a flared opening at the top. The funnel also includes several wear-resistant components fitted to the inner wall of the funnel body and the inner wall of the flared opening. Each wear-resistant component includes a base plate. Several wear-resistant liners are installed on the side of the base plate facing the inside of the funnel body. The base plate is detachably connected to the flared opening. This detachable connection between the base plate and the flared opening allows for quick assembly and disassembly of a wear-resistant component without requiring personnel to enter the funnel body. This rapid assembly and disassembly reduces safety hazards and improves work efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the wear-resistant liner has several countersunk holes; the base plate has threaded holes that match the countersunk holes; bolts are inserted into the countersunk holes; and the bolt threads are located within the threaded holes. This allows the wear-resistant liner to be installed on the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, the bucket body is a rectangular shell; the bottom plate includes a rectangular plate that fits the inner wall of the bucket; a mounting plate that fits the flared opening is installed at the upper end of the rectangular plate; a wear-resistant liner is installed on the rectangular plate; the mounting plate is detachably connected to the upper end of the flared opening. The rectangular plate is designed to fit snugly against the inner wall of the bucket.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate includes a connecting plate; one end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rectangular plate; the connecting plate and the rectangular plate are set at an angle; the end of the connecting plate away from the rectangular plate is fixedly connected to an L-shaped mounting plate; the mounting plate is detachably connected to the upper end of the flared opening. The connecting plate can fit against the inner wall of the flared opening; the L-shaped mounting plate can cover the upper surface of the flared opening and be hung on the outer wall of the flared opening, facilitating the quick mounting of the base plate on the flared opening.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting plate has a through hole; a blind hole is provided at the upper end of the flared opening to match the through hole; a pin is provided inside the through hole; the pin passes through the through hole and is inserted into the blind hole. This increases the stability of the base plate connection on the flared opening and makes disassembly and assembly convenient and quick.
[0012] Preferably, lifting lugs are installed on the inner side of the upper edge of the rectangular plate. This facilitates the use of a crane to attach the lifting lugs and complete the assembly and disassembly of the wear-resistant components.
[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the advantages of this utility model include: the detachable connection between the bottom plate and the flared opening allows for quick assembly and disassembly of a wear-resistant component without requiring personnel to enter the bucket, thus reducing safety hazards and improving work efficiency.
