Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of powder transfer devices, specifically a manganese powder collection and transfer structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the manganese powder production industry, the manganese powder transfer process is crucial. Currently existing manganese powder transfer devices have many shortcomings, negatively impacting production efficiency, working environment, and worker health.

[0003] On the one hand, existing manganese powder transfer structures are mostly open designs, which easily generate dust during the transfer process. As a fine powder, manganese powder is easily dispersed into the air from the openings during movement, loading, and unloading operations with even slight vibrations or changes in airflow. This dust not only permeates the work area, polluting the production environment and causing a large amount of dust to adhere to the equipment surface, affecting the equipment's normal heat dissipation and operational accuracy, and shortening its service life; but also, workers exposed to such an environment for extended periods will inevitably inhale manganese powder dust, damaging their respiratory system, causing respiratory diseases, and endangering their health.

[0004] On the other hand, existing transfer devices suffer from poor transfer convenience. Common transfer structures consist of a fixedly connected support or chassis and a cylinder. The support elevates the cylinder to allow for a discharge port at its bottom, while preventing the cylinder from contacting the ground and causing wear. The transfer device has a fixed overall structure and is quite heavy. In actual transfer processes, its excessive weight makes it difficult to move flexibly. Long-distance transport requires significant manpower and resources, and its weight can put considerable stress on transport equipment, increasing costs and safety risks. Furthermore, its large and heavy structure makes precise positioning and adaptation difficult when interfacing with other production equipment, severely impacting the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0005] In summary, existing manganese powder transfer devices have significant shortcomings in dust control and transfer convenience, and there is an urgent need for a new type of manganese powder collection and transfer structure to solve these problems and meet the needs of modern manganese powder production enterprises for environmentally friendly and efficient production. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a manganese powder collection and transfer structure, which can solve the technical problem that existing manganese powder transfer devices have obvious shortcomings in terms of transfer convenience.

[0007] This application provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A manganese powder collection and transfer structure includes a detachably fixed chassis and a cylinder. The chassis is located at the bottom of the cylinder to stably support it. A flange, a valve plate, and a gasket are arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the cylinder and the chassis. A through hole is opened in the center of both the flange and the gasket as a discharge port for manganese powder. A turntable is provided at the bottom of the flange. The valve plate is fixedly connected to the turntable and rotates between the flange and the gasket with the turntable as the axis, thereby adjusting the opening size of the discharge port between the flange and the gasket. At least two lifting rings are arranged circumferentially around the feed port at the top of the cylinder.

[0009] Beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. Enhanced Material Transfer Convenience: Traditional manganese powder transfer devices, due to their fixed overall structure and heavy weight, are difficult to move flexibly during actual transfer. This solution solves this problem by making the chassis and cylinder detachably and fixedly connected. When transferring the cylinder, the chassis can be disassembled, reducing the weight of hoisting and making transfer more convenient. This design not only improves transfer efficiency but also reduces manpower and material consumption, lowering transportation costs and safety risks. Furthermore, the disassembled cylinder is easier to precisely connect with other production equipment, improving the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0011] 2. Purify the working environment and protect the occupational health of workers: Existing manganese powder transfer devices are mostly open designs, which easily generate dust, pollute the working environment, and harm the health of operators. This solution adopts an overall sealed structure, effectively preventing manganese powder leakage during transfer and avoiding dust problems.

[0012] 3. Enhanced Lifting Stability: To ensure stability during lifting, this design incorporates at least two symmetrical lifting rings at the top of the cylinder. This design not only improves lifting stability, preventing the cylinder from swaying or tilting during lifting, but also ensures the uniform distribution of manganese powder during transfer, avoiding internal material accumulation or uneven distribution caused by shaking. Stable lifting operations not only improve the safety of transfer but also extend the equipment's service life, enhancing the overall reliability and safety of the operation.

[0013] 4. Precise Control of Manganese Powder Feed Flow: The valve plate can rotate around the turntable, thereby precisely adjusting the opening size of the discharge port between the flange and the gasket. This design allows operators to flexibly control the manganese powder feeding speed according to actual needs, ensuring the stability and controllability of the material transmission process. The smooth gasket provides assistance for the rotation of the valve plate, making it easier and more convenient for operators to adjust the discharge port opening.

[0014] In summary, by employing a detachable fixed connection design, an overall sealed structure, remote control functionality, and symmetrically distributed cross-shaped lifting rings, this solution significantly enhances the convenience, environmental friendliness, and safety of manganese powder transportation. These improvements work together to give this solution significant advantages and application value in the manganese powder production industry, meeting the demands of modern manganese powder production enterprises for efficient production and environmental protection.

[0015] Furthermore, as an improvement, a positioning slot is fixedly provided on the top of the chassis, and a positioning protrusion is provided on the bottom of the cylinder at a position corresponding to the positioning slot, the positioning protrusion engaging with the positioning slot.

[0016] Beneficial Effects: The design of the positioning slots and protrusions significantly improves the connection accuracy and stability between the chassis and the cylinder. This snap-fit ​​connection ensures that the cylinder is accurately aligned with the chassis during installation, avoiding shaking or instability caused by installation deviations. This design not only simplifies the assembly process of the cylinder and chassis, reducing installation time, but also improves the overall stability of the equipment, especially during hoisting and transportation, effectively preventing the risk of cylinder displacement or tipping. Furthermore, the structure of the positioning slots and protrusions makes disassembly and reinstallation easier and faster, further enhancing the equipment's flexibility and ease of operation. This improvement is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring frequent disassembly and assembly, significantly improving the equipment's reliability and working efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, as an improvement, rubber rings for sealing are fixedly installed at the connection points between the cylinder and the discharge port and the feed port, respectively.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The rubber ring significantly enhances the sealing performance between the cylinder and the discharge and inlet ports, ensuring that manganese powder does not leak during the entire transfer process. This highly airtight design not only effectively prevents manganese powder dust from polluting the working environment but also avoids operational safety hazards caused by manganese powder leakage.

[0019] Furthermore, as an improvement, a viewing window made of high-strength tempered glass is installed on the side of the cylinder.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The high-strength tempered glass observation window design allows operators to directly monitor the manganese powder level inside the cylinder without opening it for inspection, greatly improving operational convenience and safety. This design not only reduces the risk of dust leakage from frequent cylinder opening and closing but also ensures the continuity and efficiency of the production process. Simultaneously, the high strength of the tempered glass guarantees the durability and impact resistance of the observation window, increasing the equipment's lifespan and reliability.

[0021] Furthermore, as an improvement, the positioning slot is a dovetail groove, one end of which extends to the edge of the chassis as the insertion end of the positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion is a dovetail-shaped positioning block, and the dovetail-shaped positioning block is in clearance fit with the dovetail groove.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The design of the dovetail groove and dovetail-shaped positioning block significantly improves the connection accuracy and stability between the chassis and the cylinder. The dovetail groove design allows the positioning protrusion to be inserted and firmly engaged along a specific direction, preventing lateral displacement and vertical slippage. Furthermore, the clearance fit design between the dovetail-shaped positioning block and the dovetail groove provides appropriate tolerance, ensuring both a tight connection and facilitating insertion and assembly during actual operation.

[0023] Furthermore, as an improvement, a discharge solenoid valve is provided at the bottom of the cylinder, and a feed solenoid valve is provided at the top of the cylinder; a remote controller is also included, and both the feed solenoid valve and the discharge solenoid valve have integrated controllers for controlling their opening and closing, and the remote controller is wirelessly connected to the controllers in the feed solenoid valve and the discharge solenoid valve respectively.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The installation of feed solenoid valves and discharge solenoid valves, along with the provision of remote controls, allows operators to remotely control the feeding and discharging process of manganese powder. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the opportunity for operators to come into contact with manganese powder, further ensuring the safety of operators.

[0030] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0031] The markings in the accompanying drawings include: chassis 100, cylinder 200, cylinder body 201, sealing cover 202, lifting hole 203, flange 300, valve plate 301, gasket 302, rotating pin 303, handle 304, turntable 305, positioning slot 400, caster wheel 401, reserved hole 402, discharge solenoid valve 403, feed solenoid valve 404, positioning protrusion 405, and observation window 406.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, a manganese powder collection and transfer structure includes a chassis and a cylinder that are detachably and fixedly connected. The specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:

[0034] The chassis is the basic supporting component of the entire manganese powder collection and transfer structure. It is located at the bottom of the cylinder and mainly plays the role of stabilizing and supporting the cylinder. The chassis has a frame structure with multiple rectangular cutouts in the middle part for weight reduction.

[0035] The cylinder is the main component used for storing and transporting manganese powder. The cylinder consists of a bolted cylinder body and a sealing cap. A discharge port is located at the bottom of the sealing cap, and four threaded holes are arranged circumferentially around the discharge port on the sealing cap as lifting holes. A lifting ring is threaded into each lifting hole, and the four lifting rings are symmetrically distributed in a cross shape. The main function of the lifting rings is to facilitate the lifting operation of the cylinder using hoisting equipment. The symmetrical cross-shaped distribution design ensures that the cylinder remains balanced during lifting, preventing tilting or swaying and ensuring a safe and reliable lifting process.

[0036] A flange, valve plate, and gasket are sequentially arranged from top to bottom between the cylinder and the base. Both the flange and gasket have through holes in their centers as discharge ports for manganese powder. The valve plate is a solid plate that can rotate between the flange and gasket. The bottom of the cylinder is the discharge end, and the flange is bolted to the discharge end of the cylinder. The bottom of the rear half of the flange is bolted to the gasket, and there is a gap between the bottom of the front half of the flange and the gasket, providing rotation space for the valve plate. Figure 1 This is a front view of the front half of the flange. A turntable is located on the bottom left side of the flange. A rotating pin passes between the turntable and the gasket. The gasket and the base are fixed with bolts. The valve plate is fixedly connected to the turntable and rotates within the gap between the front half of the flange and the gasket, using the rotating pin as its axis. The valve plate can cover part or all of the flange's discharge port, thereby adjusting the size of the discharge port between the flange and the gasket to regulate the material flow. The gasket is made of smooth stainless steel, creating favorable conditions for the smooth rotation of the valve plate. A handle is welded and fixed to the valve plate for the operator to hold and operate.

[0037] The specific application process is as follows:

[0038] Under normal circumstances, the cylinder and chassis are fixed together by flanges. When transferring the cylinder, the chassis portion above the gasket can be disassembled to reduce the weight of the hoisting and make the transfer more convenient. This design not only improves transfer efficiency but also reduces manpower and material consumption, lowering transportation costs and safety risks. The valve plate can rotate around a pivot pin on a turntable, precisely adjusting the opening size of the discharge port between the flange and the gasket. This design allows operators to flexibly control the manganese powder discharge speed according to actual needs, ensuring the stability and controllability of the material transfer process. The smooth gasket provides assistance for the rotation of the valve plate, making the rotation process smoother and making it easier and more convenient for operators to adjust the discharge port opening.

[0039] This manganese powder collection and transfer structure effectively solves the problems of transfer convenience in existing manganese powder transfer devices through reasonable component design and connection method.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Combination Figure 4-5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the fact that a positioning slot is fixedly installed on the top of the chassis. In this embodiment, the positioning slot is an annular structure with a rectangular cross-section. A through hole is opened in the center of the chassis as a pre-drilled hole. Multiple casters with braking functions are fixedly installed on the bottom of the chassis. The casters allow the entire transfer structure to move flexibly, facilitating transfer between different work sites. The braking function locks the casters when the transfer structure needs to be fixed, ensuring that it will not move arbitrarily during operation and guaranteeing operational safety and stability. Multiple casters with braking functions are fixedly installed on the bottom of the chassis.

[0042] A discharge solenoid valve is installed at the discharge port, and an inlet is located on the top of the sealing cover, with an inlet solenoid valve installed on the inlet. Rubber rings are fixedly installed at the connection points between the main body and the discharge port, and between the sealing cover and the inlet, providing sealing. These rubber rings have good elasticity and sealing performance, effectively preventing manganese powder leakage during feeding and discharging, reducing dust generation, and ensuring the internal sealing of the cylinder to prevent outside air from entering and affecting the quality of the manganese powder. This transfer structure also includes a remote control. Both the inlet and discharge solenoid valves integrate controllers for on / off control. The inlet and discharge solenoid valves mainly consist of an electromagnetic coil, valve core, and valve seat. Their working principle involves the controller energizing the electromagnetic coil; the magnetic field generated by the energizer drives the valve core to move, thereby opening or closing the inlet or discharge port. Specific structural details are not described here. The remote control is wirelessly connected to the controllers within the inlet and discharge solenoid valves. In this embodiment, a Wi-Fi module is integrated into the controller, and the controller and remote control are connected via Wi-Fi. It is worth mentioning that, through the controller and program control, precise control can be achieved for the quantity of manganese powder during the discharge and feeding processes, eliminating the need for close-range manual operation and improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0043] A positioning protrusion is installed at the bottom of the cylinder corresponding to the positioning slot. The positioning protrusion has a ring structure with a rectangular cross-section and engages with the positioning slot. A high-strength tempered glass observation window is installed on the side of the cylinder. High-strength tempered glass has high strength and transparency, can withstand certain pressure and impact, and allows clear observation of the manganese powder storage inside the cylinder, such as the amount of manganese powder and whether it has clumped, facilitating timely understanding of the situation inside the cylinder by personnel to make appropriate operational decisions.

[0044] A remote control is a device used to remotely control the feed solenoid valve and the discharge solenoid valve. The controllers within both the feed and discharge solenoid valves support wireless connection with the remote control. Operators can send control signals to the controllers within the solenoid valves by pressing the corresponding buttons on the remote control, thereby remotely opening and closing the feed and discharge solenoid valves.

[0045] The specific application process is as follows:

[0046] S1 Assembly Stage: Place the chassis in a suitable working position, ensuring it is stable. Check that the casters at the bottom of the chassis can rotate and brake normally. Align the positioning protrusions on the bottom of the cylinder with the positioning slots on the chassis, and connect the cylinder to the chassis using the snap-fit ​​method described above. After connection, check that the connection between the cylinder and the chassis is secure, ensuring no loosening occurs during subsequent operations. Check the installation of the discharge solenoid valve and the feed solenoid valve, ensuring they are tightly connected to the cylinder and have a good seal. Simultaneously, check that the controllers inside the discharge and feed solenoid valves are properly connected to the power supply. Pair and configure the remote control and the controllers for the discharge and feed solenoid valves. Follow the instruction manuals for the remote control and controllers to complete the pairing operation, ensuring the remote control can properly control the opening and closing of the discharge and feed solenoid valves.

[0047] S2 Feeding Stage: Move the transfer structure to below the discharge port of the manganese powder production equipment using the casters at the bottom of the chassis. Assemble a funnel at the top connection port of the feed solenoid valve and lock the casters using the brake function to ensure the transfer structure remains stationary. The operator sends an open signal to the controller inside the feed solenoid valve using the remote control, opening the valve. At this time, the manganese powder production equipment injects manganese powder into the cylinder through the feed port. During the feeding process, the operator can observe the amount of manganese powder stored in the cylinder through the observation window on the side of the cylinder. When the manganese powder level approaches the maximum capacity of the cylinder, the operator sends a close signal to the controller inside the feed solenoid valve using the remote control, closing the valve and stopping the feeding. The manganese powder production equipment should also stop discharging at this time.

[0048] S3 Transfer Stage: If the cylinder containing manganese powder needs to be transferred to another location, a hoisting device can be used to lift the cylinder using the lifting rings on top. During the hoisting process, because the cylinder and chassis are detachably fixed using a snap-fit ​​connection, only the cylinder needs to be hoisted separately, which reduces the hoisting weight and improves transfer efficiency. During the transfer process, the discharge solenoid valve and the feed solenoid valve are in the closed state, and the rubber rings at the connection between the cylinder and the discharge port and feed port act as a seal, effectively preventing manganese powder leakage and reducing dust generation.

[0049] S4 Discharge Stage: The cylinder containing manganese powder is hoisted to the designated discharge position, such as above the feed inlet of the processing equipment. Similarly, the operator uses a remote control to send an open signal to the controller inside the discharge solenoid valve, which then opens. At this time, the manganese powder inside the cylinder is discharged through the discharge port and enters the processing equipment. During the discharge process, the operator can observe the remaining manganese powder in the cylinder through the observation window. When the manganese powder is basically discharged, the operator uses a remote control to send a close signal to the controller inside the discharge solenoid valve, which closes, stopping the discharge.

[0050] S5 Cleaning and Maintenance Phase: After the transfer work is completed, the cylinder needs to be cleaned and maintained. Loosen the bolts on the cylinder body to open the sealing cover, and use cleaning tools to clean the inner wall of the cylinder, removing any residual manganese powder. Check the working status of the discharge solenoid valve and the feed solenoid valve; if damaged or malfunctioning, repair or replace them promptly. Check the connection points between the cylinder and the chassis, such as the positioning grooves and positioning protrusions, for wear or deformation; repair or replace them if necessary. Inspect and maintain the casters at the bottom of the chassis to ensure they rotate freely and that the braking function is normal.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Compared to Embodiment 2, the key difference in this embodiment lies in the use of a dovetail groove for the positioning slot. One end of the dovetail groove extends to the edge of the chassis as the insertion end of the positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion is a dovetail-shaped positioning block, which fits snugly with the dovetail groove. The dovetail groove design allows the positioning protrusion to be inserted and securely engaged along a specific direction, preventing lateral displacement and vertical slippage.

Commonly known structures and characteristics in the solutions are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
