Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of discharge hoppers, and more particularly to a discharge hopper. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas, as a clean energy source, has a wide range of applications. However, because natural gas contains certain sulfides, it can easily cause harm to human health and the environment during use. Therefore, desulfurization treatment is often required before natural gas is used. Currently, oxidation is commonly used to oxidize the sulfides in natural gas into sulfur, which is then filtered out. A discharge hopper is often used in the sulfur filtration and precipitation process. However, when sulfur is purified along with the solvent and discharged into the hopper, it often precipitates on the inner wall of the hopper. This makes it difficult for the sulfur deposited on the inner wall of the hopper to fall to the hopper opening during discharge, thus hindering sulfur collection.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe there is a need for a discharge hopper capable of cleaning its inner wall. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to clean the deposits on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, this application provides a discharge hopper.

[0005] The discharge hopper provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A discharge hopper includes a discharge hopper body, a support plate installed on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body, an air nozzle installed on the support plate for cleaning the inner wall of the discharge hopper body, and a rotating mechanism for driving the air nozzle to rotate; the rotating mechanism includes a mounting base installed on the support plate, a rotating seat for mounting the air nozzle, and a drive assembly movably connecting the mounting base and the rotating seat for driving the rotating seat to rotate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during the use of the discharge hopper, when sulfur is deposited on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, compressed air is output towards the inner wall of the discharge hopper body through the air nozzle, and then the rotating seat is driven by the drive component to rotate, thereby driving the air nozzle to rotate, expanding the spray range of the air nozzle, which helps to blow off and clean the deposited material on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the discharge hopper body.

[0008] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive motor mounted on the mounting base, a transmission gear mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, and a transmission ring gear arranged on the rotating base and meshing with the transmission gear; the rotating base has a first arrangement slot and the transmission ring gear is arranged on the side wall of the first arrangement slot, the mounting base has a second arrangement slot for arranging the drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor extends to the outer side wall of the mounting base through the second arrangement slot.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the specific structure of the drive component is disclosed. When it is necessary to rotate the air nozzle, the operation of the drive motor drives the engagement between the transmission gear and the transmission ring gear, thereby driving the rotation of the rotating seat, realizing the rotation of the air nozzle installed on the rotating seat, expanding the spray range of the air nozzle, which helps to blow off and clean the deposited material on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the inner wall of the discharge hopper body.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating base has two symmetrically arranged mounting side plates extending away from the mounting base, and a nozzle connector for arranging the air nozzle is screwed between the two mounting side plates, and the nozzle connector has a threaded hole that mates with the air nozzle.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzle connector provides a stable installation platform for the air nozzle, reducing the probability of the air nozzle becoming loose during operation. Installing the nozzle connector on the rotating base with screws allows for adjustment of the vertical angle of the air nozzle, facilitating the blowing off and cleaning of deposits on the inner wall of the discharge hopper, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the support plate is detachably installed on the discharge hopper body. The inner wall of the discharge hopper body is provided with a mounting column arranged vertically on the inner end face of the discharge hopper body. The support plate has a mounting slot for inserting the mounting column. The side wall of the mounting column is horizontally provided with a mounting groove and an elastic locking member is provided at the mounting column and the mounting groove. The support plate is provided with a locking groove at the mounting slot that cooperates with the elastic locking member.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate can be quickly installed on the main body of the discharge hopper through the cooperation between the elastic locking component on the installation column and the locking groove on the support plate. This facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the support plate and the cleaning of the inner wall of the main body of the discharge hopper.

[0014] Optionally, the elastic locking member includes a locking housing mounted in the mounting groove, a locking block slidably mounted in the locking housing, and a locking spring mounted in the locking housing; the locking block has a limiting portion and a locking portion cooperating with the locking groove, and the locking housing has a locking opening for allowing the locking portion to extend and restricting the limiting portion from disengaging; one end of the locking spring abuts against the limiting portion and the other end abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the locking housing.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a specific structure of the elastic locking component is disclosed. A locking spring drives the locking part of the locking block to consistently slide away from the locking housing. As the mounting column is continuously inserted into the mounting slot, the locking block continuously approaches the locking groove in the support block. When the locking block reaches the position of the locking groove, driven by the locking spring, the locking part of the locking block extends into the locking groove, completing the locking between the support plate and the discharge hopper body. The locking opening helps to prevent the limiting part of the locking block from protruding from the locking housing.

[0016] Optionally, the locking groove is a through groove extending to the outer wall of the support plate. The locking groove includes a first groove and a second groove in sequence along the direction away from the mounting slot, and the diameter of the first groove is larger than the diameter of the second groove. The support plate is provided with an unlocking mechanism at the locking groove. The unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking component slidably arranged in the locking groove, an unlocking spring sleeved on the unlocking component, and an unlocking nut installed on the unlocking component. The unlocking component includes an unlocking disc slidably arranged in the first groove and an unlocking rod extending through the second groove to the outer side of the support plate. One end of the unlocking spring abuts against the unlocking nut and the other end abuts against the support plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure of the unlocking mechanism is disclosed. When it is necessary to unlock the elastic locking component, the unlocking rod is pushed to slide towards the mounting column, causing the locking disc to abut against the end face of the mounting column. This causes the locking part of the locking block to disengage from the locking groove, achieving rapid separation of the support plate from the main body of the discharge hopper. The unlocking spring facilitates the automatic reset of the unlocking rod.

[0018] Optionally, at least two support plates are spaced apart along the height direction of the discharge hopper body on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body, and a plurality of air nozzles are evenly arranged on each support plate along the length direction of the support plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, at least two support plates are spaced apart along the height direction of the discharge hopper body on the inner wall, and air nozzles are evenly arranged along the length direction of one support plate, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency of the inner wall of the discharge hopper body.

[0020] Optionally, the discharge hopper body includes a hopper opening, the cross-section of the discharge hopper body is conical, and the diameter of the discharge hopper body decreases sequentially along the direction toward the hopper opening.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the conical cross-section of the discharge hopper body helps to drive the deposited material blown by the air nozzle into the hopper opening, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the discharge port body.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. A discharge hopper, wherein the rotation of the rotating seat is driven by a drive component, which in turn drives the rotation of the air nozzle, thereby helping to expand the spraying range of the air nozzle and thus cleaning the deposited material on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body;

[0024] 2. The support plate can be quickly installed and removed from the main body of the discharge hopper by means of the cooperation between the elastic locking component and the unlocking mechanism, which helps to clean and maintain the support plate and the main body of the discharge hopper;

[0025] 3. The conical cross-section of the discharge hopper body helps to improve the removal of deposits from the inner wall of the discharge hopper body, further improving the cleaning efficiency of deposits on the discharge hopper body. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a discharge hopper. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 A discharge hopper includes a discharge hopper body 1, a support plate 2 installed on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1, an air nozzle 3 installed on the support plate 2 for cleaning the inner wall of the discharge hopper, and a rotating mechanism 4 for driving the air nozzle 3 to rotate. The discharge hopper body 1 includes a hopper opening 11, and the discharge hopper body 1 is conical, with its diameter decreasing sequentially along the direction towards the hopper opening 11. The air nozzle 3 is connected to a compressed air supply system within the factory.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 41 mounted on the support plate 2, a rotating seat 42 for mounting the air nozzle 3, and a drive assembly 43 movably connected to the rotating seat 42 and used to drive the rotating seat 42 to rotate. The drive assembly 43 includes a drive motor 431 mounted on the mounting base 41, a transmission gear 432 mounted on the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 431, and a transmission ring gear 433 arranged on the rotating seat 42 and meshing with the transmission gear 432. The rotating seat 42 has a first arrangement groove 421 on the side facing the drive motor 431, and the transmission ring gear 433 is arranged on the side wall of the first arrangement groove 421. The mounting base 41 has a second arrangement groove 411 for arranging the drive motor 431, and the output shaft of the drive motor 431 extends to the outer side wall of the mounting base 41 through the second arrangement groove 411. Driven by the drive assembly 43, the air nozzle 3 rotates in the horizontal direction, expanding the spray range of the air nozzle 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4To facilitate the engagement of the rotating base 42 with the air nozzle 3, the rotating base 42 has two symmetrically arranged mounting side plates 422 on the side facing away from the drive motor 431, extending away from the mounting base 41. The two mounting side plates 422 are connected by screws to nozzle connectors 5 for accommodating the air nozzle 3. The nozzle connectors 5 have threaded holes for engaging with the air nozzle 3. When it is necessary to adjust the spray range of the air nozzle 3 in the vertical direction, this can be achieved by adjusting the vertical direction of the nozzle connectors 5.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 To expand the spraying range of the air nozzles 3 within the discharge hopper body 1, at least two support plates 2 are spaced apart along the height direction of the discharge hopper body 1 on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1, and a plurality of air nozzles 3 are evenly spaced along the length direction of each support plate 2. In this embodiment, multiple support plates 2 are connected end to end to form a circle, and two circles of support plates 2 connected end to end are arranged along the height direction of the discharge hopper body 1, with four air nozzles 3 evenly spaced on each support plate 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 To facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the support plate 2 and the discharge hopper body 1, the support plate 2 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1. The inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1 is provided with multiple vertically arranged mounting columns 12 on the inner end face of the discharge hopper body 1, and the mounting columns 12 have a square cross-section. The support plate 2 has mounting slots 21 for inserting the mounting columns 12, and the mounting slots 21 are adapted to the mounting columns 12. The outer wall of the mounting columns 12 has horizontally opened mounting grooves 121, and the mounting columns 12 are provided with elastic locking members 6 within the mounting grooves 121. The support plate 2 has locking grooves 22 at the mounting slots 21 that cooperate with the elastic locking members 6. The elastic locking members 6 include a locking housing 61 installed in the mounting groove 121, a locking block 62 slidably installed in the locking housing 61, and a locking spring 63 installed in the locking housing 61. The locking block 62 has a limiting portion 621 and a locking portion 622 that engages with the locking groove 22, and the side of the locking portion 622 away from the limiting portion 621 has a chamfered structure. The locking housing 61 has a locking opening 611 for the locking portion 622 of the locking block 62 to extend out and for restricting the limiting portion 621 of the locking block 62 from disengaging. One end of the locking spring 63 abuts against the limiting portion 621 of the locking block 62 and the other end abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the locking housing 61 to drive the locking portion 622 of the locking block 62 to always tend to move away from the locking housing 61.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6To unlock the elastic locking element 6, the support plate 2 is provided with an unlocking mechanism 7 within the locking groove 22. The locking groove 22 is a through groove extending to the outer wall of the support plate 2. Along the direction away from the mounting slot 21, the locking groove 22 includes a first groove 221 and a second groove 222, with the diameter of the first groove 221 being larger than that of the second groove 222. The unlocking mechanism 7 includes an unlocking element 71 slidably disposed within the locking groove 22, an unlocking spring 72 sleeved outside the unlocking element 71, and an unlocking nut 73 mounted outside the unlocking element 71. The unlocking element 71 includes an unlocking disc 711 slidably disposed at the first groove 221 and an unlocking rod 712 extending through the second groove 222 to the outer side of the support plate 2. One end of the unlocking spring 72 abuts against the unlocking nut 73, and the other end abuts against the support plate 2. When unlocking the locking mechanism is required, simply pushing the locking rod causes the unlocking disc 711 to push out the locking block 62 within the locking groove 22 to complete the unlocking. To further facilitate the unlocking of the support plate 2 and the discharge hopper body 1, the support plate 2 is also provided with an elastic element 23 at the top of the mounting slot 21 to drive the mounting column 12 to always have a tendency to disengage from the mounting slot 21.

[0040] The implementation principle of a discharge hopper in this application embodiment is as follows: During the operation of the discharge hopper, when deposits appear on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1, the drive motor 431 drives the transmission gear 432 to start rotating. Through the cooperation between the transmission gear 432 and the transmission ring gear, the rotating seat 42 is driven to rotate, thereby enabling the air nozzle 3 to rotate in the horizontal direction. The air nozzle 3 outputs compressed air towards the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1, thereby blowing off the deposits on the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1. The setting of the drive component 43 expands the spraying range of the air nozzle 3 and improves the cleaning efficiency of the inner wall of the discharge hopper body 1.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
