Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette production equipment, and in particular to an adjustable uniform material plate and a vibrating conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Vibrating conveyors are important auxiliary equipment in cigarette manufacturing production lines. These devices utilize centrifugal inertia to loosen and transport materials. Also known as vibrating troughs, vibrating conveyors consist of a trough body and rocker arms. Over time, the rocker arms inevitably age, leading to changes in amplitude. When material in the discharge trough needs to be redirected and transported to the receiving trough, the change in amplitude makes it difficult for the material to fall into the center of the receiving trough, causing it to easily adhere to or accumulate on the sides.

[0003] In existing technologies, guide plates are installed on the discharge vibrating trough to adjust the position of the discharge port, ensuring that the material falls smoothly into the middle of the receiving vibrating trough. As the rocker arm ages, the amplitude gradually changes; therefore, the position of the guide plate needs to be gradually adjusted to ensure that the material falls into the middle of the receiving vibrating trough. Traditional baffles are mostly fixedly installed on the vibrating trough, requiring additional holes to be drilled in the trough for fixation each time the guide plate position is changed. A few years ago, improvements were made to the traditional baffles (publication number CN218200694U), using an adjusting screw and connecting rod to manually adjust the position of the baffle and movable plate. However, after a period of production practice, it was found that when conveying different materials, due to differences in flow rate and uniformity, manual adjustment was required each time, which was cumbersome. Furthermore, because a limiting groove was created at the discharge port, material would sometimes remain within the limiting groove, causing adhesion and, in the long run, leading to problems such as the generation of insects. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable material leveling plate and a vibrating conveyor that can automatically adjust when conveying different materials. It is simple and convenient, and eliminates the limiting groove, thus avoiding problems such as material sticking during conveying.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0006] An adjustable material leveling plate includes a baffle, a guide plate, and an adjusting component. One end of the baffle is rotatably mounted on a vibrating conveyor, and the guide plate is slidably mounted inside the baffle. One end of the adjusting component is connected to the baffle and is used to adjust the position of the baffle and the guide plate on the vibrating conveyor to block different materials on the vibrating conveyor.

[0007] Furthermore, the baffle is hollow, and the side of the baffle closest to the vibrating conveyor is open.

[0008] Based on the above technical means, the hollow baffle facilitates the installation of the guide plate and makes the structure more compact; the opening on one side allows the guide plate to contact the surface of the vibrating trough, reducing the probability of material entering the gap between the guide plate and the vibrating trough, thereby reducing the breakage caused by the vibrating trough during operation.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly installed inside the baffle, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the guide plate.

[0010] Based on the above technical means, the guide rod can play a guiding role when the guide plate moves inside the baffle.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide plate includes a sliding plate, a locking block, and a resetting component. The sliding plate is slidably installed inside the baffle, the resetting component is connected between the sliding plate and the baffle, and the locking block is assembled at the bottom of the sliding plate and slidably connected to the vibrating conveyor.

[0012] Based on the above technical means, the sliding plate and the locking block can be coordinated to adjust the sliding plate to different positions for different materials, so as to uniformly distribute the materials. Then, through the action of the resetting component, the resetting of the sliding plate can be made smoother when the baffle is reset.

[0013] Furthermore, the card block is L-shaped and can be detachably installed at the bottom of the sliding plate.

[0014] Based on the above technical means, the L-shaped locking block makes the sliding plate move more smoothly on the vibrating trough, and there is no need to open the limiting groove on the vibrating trough, thus avoiding problems such as material sticking during material conveying.

[0015] Furthermore, the card block is provided with a pad on the side near the vibrating conveyor.

[0016] According to the above-mentioned technical means, by setting shims, the friction and noise between the card block and the vibration groove can be reduced.

[0017] Furthermore, the reset element is configured as a spring, with one end of the spring connected to the sliding plate and the other end connected to the baffle.

[0018] Based on the above technical means, by setting the spring, the sliding plate can be reset more smoothly when the baffle is reset.

[0019] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a driving member and a connecting part. The driving member is connected to the vibrating conveyor, the connecting part is disposed on the baffle, and the output end of the driving member is hinged to the connecting part.

[0020] Based on the above technical means, through the cooperation of the driving component and the connecting part, the baffle and guide plate can be driven to adjust the opening of the vibrating groove according to different material conditions, which is simple, convenient and quick.

[0021] Furthermore, the driving component is configured as a telescopic rod.

[0022] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the movement and resetting of the baffle can be achieved by means of a telescopic rod, which has a simple structure and strong practicality.

[0023] This application also discloses a vibrating conveyor, including a vibrating conveyor body and the aforementioned adjustable uniform material plate.

[0024] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, by using the aforementioned adjustable uniform plate on the vibrating conveyor, different materials can be easily adjusted, thereby adjusting the flow rate and uniformity of different materials.

[0025] The present application, employing the above-described scheme, has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. In this application, through the cooperation of the baffle, guide plate and adjusting component, the adjusting component can adjust the baffle to different positions according to different material flow rates and uniformity when it is working, and the guide plate can be adjusted accordingly, thereby realizing automatic adjustment, which is simple and convenient;

[0027] 2. In this application, by setting a locking block on the guide plate, the limiting groove of the initial design is eliminated when the guide plate moves within the baffle, which will not cause problems such as material sticking during material conveying. In addition, with the guide rod and reset component, it is convenient for the guide plate to move and reset on the vibrating conveyor.

[0028] 3. In this application, the positions of the baffle and guide plate are adjusted by using an active drive method, making the adjustment simpler and more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0036] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses an adjustable material leveling plate, including a baffle 1, a guide plate 2, and an adjusting component 3. One end of the baffle 1 is rotatably mounted on the side plate of the vibrating conveyor 100, allowing the baffle 1 to rotate relative to the side plate. The guide plate 2 is slidably mounted inside the baffle 1, allowing the guide plate 2 to slide within the baffle 1 according to different positions of the baffle 1, thereby increasing the length of the baffle 1 to ensure the conveying effect for different materials. One end of the adjusting component 3 is connected to the baffle 1 and is used to adjust the positions of the baffle 1 and the guide plate 2 to block different materials on the discharge vibrating trough, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the baffle 1 and changing the opening of the discharge outlet of the discharge vibrating trough, achieving precise control of the material outlet speed and flow rate.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2As shown, the left end of the baffle 1 is mounted on the side plate of the vibrating conveyor 100 via a hinged seat. The right end of the baffle 1 is hollow, and the bottom of the baffle 1 is open. The hollow baffle 1 facilitates the installation of the guide plate 2, making the structure more compact. The bottom opening of the baffle 1 allows the guide plate 2 to contact the surface of the discharge trough, reducing the probability of material entering the gap between the guide plate 2 and the trough, thereby reducing breakage caused by the discharge trough during operation.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the guide plate 2 includes a sliding plate 21, a locking block 22, and a resetting component. The sliding plate 21 is slidably installed inside the baffle 1. The resetting component is connected between the sliding plate 21 and the baffle 1 to ensure smoother resetting of the sliding plate 21 after it has moved. The locking block 22 is mounted on the bottom of the sliding plate 21 and slidably connected to the vibrating conveyor 100. When the baffle 1 moves, the sliding plate 21 moves within the baffle 1 because the discharge trough remains unchanged. This allows the sliding plate 21 to be adjusted to different positions to control the outlet speed and flow rate of different materials when blocking different materials on the discharge trough.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 21 has blind holes along its length, and a guide rod 12 is fixedly connected inside the baffle 1. The guide rod 12 slides through the blind holes so that the sliding plate 21 can guide the movement and resetting. The part of the baffle 1 that contacts the sliding plate 21 has a scraping edge 11, which can scrape off the material adhering to the sliding plate 21 and prevent the material from entering the baffle 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the locking block 22 is L-shaped and is detachably installed on the bottom of the sliding plate 21 by bolts. It is slidably engaged with the discharge end of the discharge trough, so that when the baffle 1 moves, the sliding plate 21 can be moved within the baffle 1 by the locking block 22. Furthermore, the locking block 22 eliminates the need for the initially designed limiting groove, preventing problems such as material sticking during conveying. To reduce noise during movement and to ensure smoother sliding, a pad 221 is provided on the side of the locking block 22 near the vibrating conveyor 100. The pad 221 is L-shaped, conforming to the shape of the locking block 22, and has a smooth surface.

[0042] In some embodiments, the reset element is a spring 23, with one end of the spring 23 connected to the sliding plate 21 and the other end connected to the baffle 1, so that the sliding plate 21 can reset more smoothly when the baffle 1 is reset. In one embodiment, the spring 23 is sleeved on the guide rod 12, with one end of the spring 23 connected to the sliding plate 21 and the other end connected to the baffle 1. In another embodiment, the spring 23 is not sleeved on the guide rod 12, but is directly connected between the sliding plate 21 and the baffle 1. In this case, there can be one spring 23 or multiple springs.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting component 3 includes a driving component 31 and a connecting part 32. The driving component 31 is connected to the side plate of the vibrating conveyor 100, and the connecting part 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the baffle 1. The output end of the driving component 31 is hinged to the connecting part 32, so that when the driving component 31 is working, it can drive the baffle 1 to adjust the opening of the discharge trough through the output end, thereby adjusting the opening of the trough according to different materials, which is simple, convenient and quick.

[0044] In this embodiment, the drive component 31 can be configured as a telescopic rod, such as an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or a hydraulic telescopic rod, which can be selected according to the actual situation. Regarding the control method of the telescopic rod, a multi-position control switch can be set, a PLC controller can be used for control, or a suitable control method from the prior art can be selected. In some other embodiments, the drive component 31 can also be configured as a motor driving gears, racks, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the connecting part 32 is configured as a hinge seat, which is fixedly installed on the side of the baffle 1 by bolts. The output end of the telescopic rod is connected to the hinge seat by screws, so that the telescopic rod can control the movement of the baffle 1 and the guide plate 2 when it is working.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the opening of the baffle 1 needs to be adjusted according to the flow rate and uniformity of different materials, the output shaft of the telescopic rod is extended by activating the telescopic rod, which drives the baffle 1 to rotate on the vibrating groove. During the rotation, the sliding plate 21 and the locking block 22 move along the vibrating groove, and the sliding plate 21 slides out of the baffle 1, thereby adapting to different material conditions. When the telescopic rod does not need to work, the output shaft of the telescopic rod retracts, causing the baffle 1 to rotate, which drives the sliding plate 21 and the locking block 22 to return to their initial positions. Under the action of the spring 23, the position of the sliding plate 21 in the baffle 1 also returns to its initial state.

[0047] This application also discloses a vibrating conveyor 100, including a vibrating conveyor body and an adjustable leveling plate as described in the above embodiment. By using the aforementioned adjustable leveling plate on the vibrating conveyor 100, different materials can be easily adjusted, thereby adjusting the flow rate and uniformity of different materials. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
