Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide gate valve technology, specifically a slide gate valve below the material silo in the material changing area. Background Technology
[0002] In numerous industries such as food, chemicals, metallurgy, and building materials, precise ingredient batching is a crucial link in ensuring product quality and production process stability. As the core equipment for storing and supplying materials, the silo's gate valve plays a vital role in controlling material flow and its start / stop. With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale and the increasing demands for production efficiency, higher standards are being placed on the precision, reliability, and stability of batching systems.
[0003] For example, an existing patent (publication number: CN216590021 U) discloses a hopper discharge gate valve, which includes two first channel steels arranged in parallel front and rear, a movable gate plate arranged between the two first channel steels, a second channel steel arranged at one end between the two first channel steels, upper clamping plates arranged on the inner sides of both the first and second channel steels, a lower clamping plate arranged on the inner side of the first channel steel, the lower clamping plate being located directly below the upper clamping plate inside the first channel steel, a gap being left between the lower clamping plate and the second channel steel, the gate plate being located between the upper and lower clamping plates, and support ribs arranged at equal intervals on the inner side of the second channel steel, the support ribs being located below the upper clamping plate inside the second channel steel.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned design of the hopper discharge gate valve still has some drawbacks in actual use: during the opening and closing process of the gate valve, the material will come into contact with the surface of the gate, and some material may adhere to the gate. Over time, these residual materials may clump and harden, which not only affects the normal movement of the gate but may also cause the gate valve to not close tightly, leading to errors and material waste during actual operation.
[0005] To address this issue, we designed a replacement gate valve located below the material silo in the batching area. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gate valve below the material silo in the material replacement area to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a gate valve below the material silo in the material replacement area, including a first steel trough, a second steel trough outside the first steel trough, a gate body between the second steel trough and the first steel trough, a hollow groove on the second steel trough, a moving rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove, a gear connected to one end of the moving rod, a rack meshing with one side of the gear, the other end of the rack connected to the outer wall of the second steel trough, a brush rod at the other end of the moving rod, the surface of the brush rod abutting against the top surface of the gate body, and a guide component at one end of the brush rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a spring is connected to the outer wall of the end of the moving rod away from the gear, and a plug is connected to the other end of the spring. A connecting rod is provided on the moving rod, and a cavity for the moving rod to pass through is opened in the connecting rod. A slot is opened on the inner wall of the cavity, and the slot is adapted to the plug. A push rod is provided in the slot.
[0009] Furthermore, a third steel channel is connected between the first and second steel channels, and a hanging plate is connected to the bottom surface of the third steel channel, with the bottom surface of the hanging plate abutting against the top surface of the insert plate body.
[0010] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes a slide rod, which is rotatably connected to one end of the brush rod. A groove is provided on the outer wall of the first steel channel, and the slide rod is slidably connected in the groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the third steel channel is connected with Velcro 1, and the top surface of the hanging plate is connected with Velcro 2, with Velcro 1 and Velcro 2 being adhered together.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is connected to the top surface of the insert plate body, and a screw is rotatably connected inside the connecting block, with a handle provided at the other end of the screw.
[0013] Furthermore, a fourth steel channel is connected between the first steel channel and the second steel channel. The fourth steel channel has a threaded groove for the screw to pass through, and the screw is threadedly connected to the fourth steel channel.
[0014] Furthermore, a connecting post is connected to the outer wall of the gear, and a rotating plate is connected to the other end of the connecting post.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When there is material residue on the surface of the insert plate body after the device is used, rotating the rotating plate will drive the gear to rotate, which in turn will drive the moving rod to move along the rack, so that the moving rod rolls in the slot. At the same time, the brush rod on the moving rod rolls close to the top surface of the insert plate body to clean the material residue on the surface of the insert plate body, preventing the material residue on the insert plate body from clumping and hardening due to prolonged residue time, ensuring the normal use of the insert plate body, and reducing errors and waste of materials during device operation.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the brush roller has been used for a period of time, the bristles are easily contaminated with material. By tightening the bolt and compressing the insert block towards the spring, the connecting rod can be removed from the moving rod, making it easier to clean the brush roller and allowing it to be reused continuously, thus improving the service life of the device. The bottom surface of the third steel channel is provided with a hanging plate. Since the bottom surface of the hanging plate abuts against the top surface of the insert plate body, when the insert plate body is pushed and pulled, the hanging plate scrapes the surface of the insert plate body, further reducing material residue on the insert plate body and improving the service life of the device.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a gate valve below the material silo in the material replacement area, including a first steel channel 1, a second steel channel 2 disposed outside the first steel channel 1, the first steel channel 1 and the second steel channel 2 being on the same horizontal line, a gate body 4 disposed between the second steel channel 2 and the first steel channel 1, a sliding groove being formed on the opposite side of the first steel channel 1 and the second steel channel 2, a sliding block being connected to the gate body 4, the sliding block being slidably connected in the sliding groove, that is, the gate body 4 sliding between the first steel channel 1 and the second steel channel 2, a hollow groove 202 being formed on the second steel channel 2, a moving rod 9 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove 202, the moving rod 9 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hollow groove 202. One end of the rod 9 is connected to a gear 10, one side of which is meshed with a rack 201. The other end of the rack 201 is connected to the outer wall of the second steel trough 2. The other end of the moving rod 9 is provided with a brush rod 12. The surface of the brush rod 12 abuts against the top surface of the insert plate body 4. One end of the brush rod 12 is provided with a guide assembly, which includes a slide rod 1201. The slide rod 1201 is rotatably connected to one end of the brush rod 12. A groove 101 is opened on the outer wall of the first steel trough 1. The slide rod 1201 is slidably connected in the groove 101. A connecting column is connected to the outer wall of the gear 10. The other end of the connecting column is connected to a rotating plate 8.
[0025] In specific implementation, when there is material residue on the surface of the insert plate body 4 after the device is used, the rotating plate 8 is rotated, which drives the gear 10 to rotate, thereby driving the moving rod 9 to move along the rack 201, so that the moving rod 9 rolls in the slot 202. At the same time, the brush roller 12 on the moving rod 9 rolls close to the top surface of the insert plate body 4 to clean the material residue on the surface of the insert plate body 4, preventing the material residue on the insert plate body 4 from clumping and hardening due to prolonged residue time, ensuring the normal use of the insert plate body 4, reducing errors and material waste during device operation, and providing guidance for the brush roller 12 through the guide component, so that the brush roller 12 can operate stably.
[0026] See Figure 4 As shown, a spring 901 is connected to the outer wall of the end of the moving rod 9 away from the gear 10, and a plug 902 is connected to the other end of the spring 901. A connecting rod 11 is provided on the moving rod 9. A cavity is opened in the connecting rod 11 for the moving rod 9 to pass through. A slot 1101 is opened on the inner wall of the cavity. The slot 1101 is adapted to the plug 902. A bolt is provided in the slot 1101. One end of the bolt passes through the slot 1101 and extends to the outside of the connecting rod 11.
[0027] In practice, after a period of use, the brush roller 12 is prone to being contaminated with materials. By tightening the bolt inside the roller, the insert block 902 is compressed towards the spring 901, and the connecting rod 11 is removed from the moving rod 9, which makes it easier to clean the brush roller 12. This allows the brush roller 12 to be reused continuously, thus improving the service life of the device.
[0028] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 A third steel channel 3 is connected between the first steel channel 1 and the second steel channel 2. A hanging plate 301 is connected to the bottom surface of the third steel channel 3. The bottom surface of the hanging plate 301 abuts against the top surface of the insert plate body 4. A Velcro closure 1 is connected to the bottom surface of the third steel channel 3, and a Velcro closure 2 is connected to the top surface of the hanging plate 301. The Velcro closure 1 and the Velcro closure 2 are adhered together.
[0029] In specific implementation, a hanging plate 301 is provided on the bottom surface of the third steel trough 3. Since the bottom surface of the hanging plate 301 abuts against the top surface of the insert plate body 4, when the insert plate body 4 is pushed and pulled, the hanging plate 301 scrapes the surface of the insert plate body 4, further reducing material residue on the insert plate body 4 and improving the service life of the device.
[0030] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, a connecting block 5 is connected to the top surface of the insert plate body 4, and a screw 6 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 5. A handle 7 is provided at the other end of the screw 6. A fourth steel groove is connected between the first steel groove 1 and the second steel groove 2. A threaded groove is opened on the fourth steel groove for the screw 6 to pass through. The screw 6 is threadedly connected to the fourth steel groove. By rotating the handle 7, the screw 6 is driven to rotate, thereby enabling the insert plate body 4 to move freely and open and close the device.
[0031] Working principle: When material residue remains on the surface of the insert plate body 4 after use, rotating the rotating plate 8 drives the gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving rod 9 to move along the rack 201, causing the moving rod 9 to roll in the slot 202. At the same time, the brush roller 12 on the moving rod 9 rolls close to the top surface of the insert plate body 4, cleaning the material residue on the surface of the insert plate body 4. This prevents the material residue on the insert plate body 4 from clumping and hardening due to prolonged residue, ensuring the normal use of the insert plate body 4 and reducing errors and material waste during device operation. After the brush roller 12 has been used for a period of time... Afterwards, material easily adheres to the brush bristles. Tighten the bolts to compress the insert block 902 towards the spring 901, and remove the connecting rod 11 from the moving rod 9. This facilitates cleaning of the brush roller 12, allowing it to be reused continuously and improving the service life of the device. The bottom surface of the third steel trough 3 is provided with a hanging plate 301. Since the bottom surface of the hanging plate 301 abuts against the top surface of the insert plate body 4, when the insert plate body 4 is pushed and pulled, the hanging plate 301 scrapes the surface of the insert plate body 4, further reducing material residue on the insert plate body 4 and improving the service life of the device.
