[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0028] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] Specifically, it refers to a connector for an easily detachable feeder housing, see [reference]. Figure 1-2 The device includes a base plate 1, which provides an installation environment for the feeder. Handle grooves are provided on both sides of the base plate 1 for easy handling by operators. A fixed outer shell 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The fixed outer shell 2 is located on one side of the feeder's storage hopper. This side has fewer parts, is less prone to damage, and will not cause interference during later maintenance. The two side walls of the fixed outer shell 2 are trapezoidal structures, with the longer lower bottom edge fitting against the base plate 1 and the shorter upper bottom edge leaving more space for operators to inspect and maintain. A detachable outer shell 3 is provided on one side of the fixed outer shell 2. The two side walls of the detachable outer shell 3 are also trapezoidal structures, but the direction of the upper and lower bottom edges is opposite to that of the fixed outer shell 2. When in use, it can be assembled with the fixed outer shell 2. Multiple sets of connecting parts 4 are connected between the detachable outer shell 3 and the base plate 1.

[0030] See Figure 3 The connector 4 includes a housing fixing block 41 and a limiting block 42. The housing fixing block 41 is fixedly connected to the detachable housing 3, and the limiting block 42 is fixedly connected to the housing fixing block 41. The limiting block 42 has a limiting end face 421 on the side away from the detachable housing 3. A pin 43 connects the housing fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42. A base fixing block 44 is provided on the side of the housing fixing block 41 near the fixed housing 2. The base fixing block 44 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A limiting groove 45 is provided on the side of the base fixing block 44 near the limiting block 42. Two sets of protrusions 46 are provided on the side of the base fixing block 44 near the housing fixing block 41. The two sets of protrusions 46 are symmetrically arranged along the limiting groove 45. A slot 461 is provided on the top of the protrusion 46 near the pin 43.

[0031] The included angle between the outer shell fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42 is not less than 90°. Without changing the included angle between the upper surface of the limiting block 42 and the limiting end face 421, the larger the angle between the outer shell fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42, the larger the space that the detachable outer shell 3 can open. However, the distance between the top surface of the inner wall of the limiting groove 45 and the upper surface of the base plate 1 must also be larger, but the maximum cannot exceed 135°. The included angle between the upper surface of the limiting block 42 and the limiting end face 421 does not exceed 135°. Without changing the included angle between the outer shell fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42, changing the included angle between the upper surface of the limiting block 42 and the limiting end face 421 can also change the size of the space that the detachable outer shell 3 can open. The smaller the angle between the upper surface of the limiting block 42 and the limiting end face 421, the larger the space that the detachable outer shell 3 can open, but the minimum cannot be less than 90°. Therefore, refer to... Figure 3 The outer shell fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42 are set vertically, that is, the included angle between the outer shell fixing block 41 and the limiting block 42 is 90°, and the angle between the upper surface of the limiting block 42 and the limiting end face 421 is 135°. At this time, the maximum angle that the detachable outer shell 3 can be opened is 45°.

[0032] When the detachable outer casing 3 is closed, the pin 43 is inserted into the two sets of slots 461, and the limiting block 42 is inside the limiting slot 45.

[0033] When it is necessary to open the removable outer casing 3 to check the status of the internal feeder, refer to... Figure 1-3 The operator holds the detachable outer shell 3 and moves it away from the fixed outer shell 2. At this time, the outer shell fixing block 41 rotates along the axis of the pin 43. When it rotates to a certain angle, the limiting end face 421 abuts against the top end face of the inner wall of the limiting groove 45, restricting the rotation of the detachable outer shell 3. At this time, the operator can free up both hands to inspect the internal feeder.

[0034] When the feeder malfunctions and needs repair, refer to Figure 4-5 The operator first restores the detachable outer shell 3 to the closed state, then lifts the detachable outer shell 3 upwards. At this time, the pin 43 disengages upwards from the slot 461. Finally, the operator pulls the detachable outer shell 3 away from the fixed outer shell 2. At this time, the limiting block 42 disengages from the limiting groove 45, thus realizing the removal of the detachable outer shell 3.

[0035] This structure facilitates inspection and maintenance by operators, expands the maintenance space, reduces maintenance time, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0036] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
