Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation technology, and in particular to a U-shaped conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] U-shaped conveyors are a type of screw conveyors. Their working principle is to continuously and stably transport materials from one place to another by rotating the screw blades. The screw blades are fixed on the shaft. When the screw shaft rotates under the drive of the drive device, the screw blades will rotate in the trough and push the materials forward.

[0003] With the continuous development of industrial production, the demand for material handling equipment is also increasing. In many industries, such as building materials, chemicals, power, metallurgy, coal mining, grain and food, materials need to be transported from one location to another. Traditional material conveying methods may have problems such as low efficiency, large footprint, and serious environmental pollution. Therefore, a U-shaped conveyor is needed to transport materials. Existing U-shaped conveyors usually transport materials directly in the conveyor shell. Because the spiral blades agitate and compress the materials during the conveying process, the materials collide with the shell, which can lead to material breakage. In addition, existing U-shaped conveyors usually use spiral blades to transport materials and maintain a continuous and stable operating state during the material conveying process. However, the materials may accumulate at the discharge port due to humidity, particle size or conveying speed, resulting in poor conveying or complete blockage. Utility Model Content

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a U-shaped conveyor, including a support 1, a housing 2 is provided above the support 1, and the housing 2 is U-shaped. A top cover 3 is installed on the top of the housing 2, a fixing frame 4 is fixed on the top of the support 1, a material conveying component 5 and a protective component 6 are respectively provided inside the housing 2, and a vertically arranged discharge pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the housing 2.

[0030] The bracket 1 supports the housing 2 located above it. It should be noted that the bracket 1 is composed of several support rods. The housing 2 has a U-shaped design, which allows for better material conveying through the conveying assembly 5. The top cover 3 seals the opening at the top of the housing 2, preventing material splashing during material conveying. The conveying assembly 5 conveys materials within the housing 2. The protective assembly 6 protects the inner wall of the housing 2, reducing the impact and wear of materials on the conveyor and minimizing damage caused by collisions between materials and the inner wall of the housing 2. The discharge pipe 7 discharges the materials conveyed in the housing 2.

[0031] The material conveying assembly 5 includes a motor 51 mounted on the top of the fixed frame 4. A rotating rod 52 is fixed to the output end of the motor 51, and one end of the rotating rod 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 2. A first material conveying roller 53 and a second material conveying roller 54 are respectively mounted on the outer side of the rotating rod 52, and the blades of the first material conveying roller 53 and the second material conveying roller 54 are designed to rotate in opposite directions.

[0032] The motor 51 drives the rotating rod 52 fixed at its output end to rotate. The rotating rod 52 drives the first conveying roller 53 and the second conveying roller 54 fixed on its outer side to rotate. The first conveying roller 53 can transport the material in the housing 2 to the discharge pipe 7. The second conveying roller 54, through its design with the blades rotating in the opposite direction to the first conveying roller 53, can generate a reaction force opposite to the main conveying direction, helping the material to be discharged smoothly and avoiding the accumulation of material at one end of the housing 2, which would cause blockage.

[0033] The protective component 6 includes a protective pad 61 disposed on the inner wall of the housing 2, and the protective pad 61 is U-shaped. A mounting block 62 is disposed on the outer side of the protective pad 61, and one end of the mounting block 62 passes through the inner wall of the protective pad 61 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0034] The protective pad 61 protects the inner wall of the housing 2, reducing the impact and wear of materials on the conveyor. It also reduces the damage caused by material collision with the inner wall of the housing 2. The mounting block 62 fixes the protective pad 61 to the inner wall of the housing 2. It should be noted that the protective pad 61 is made of rubber. The mounting block 62 is set in several groups and is evenly distributed on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0037] Specifically, the inner wall of the protective pad 61 is provided with a through hole 8, and the size of the through hole 8 is the same as the size of the inner ring of the discharge pipe 7.

[0038] The opening of the through hole 8 allows the material to fall into the discharge pipe 7 by gravity, and the design that the size of the through hole 8 is the same as the size of the inner circle of the discharge pipe 7 allows the material to fall into the discharge pipe 7 to the maximum extent.

[0039] Specifically, the top of the housing 2 is fixed with several sets of positioning blocks 9, and the inner wall of the top cover 3 is provided with several sets of positioning holes 10, and the position of each set of positioning holes 10 corresponds to the position of each set of positioning blocks 9.

[0040] The positioning block 9 can be inserted into the positioning hole 10 opened in the inner wall of the top cover 3 during the installation process, thereby limiting the top cover 3 and preventing the top cover 3 from shifting during the installation process, which would prevent the opening of the housing 2 from being sealed. It should be noted that the number of positioning blocks 9 and positioning holes 10 is several sets, and they are evenly distributed on both sides of the housing 2 and the top cover 3.

[0041] Specifically, a first fixing block 11 is fixed to the outer side of the shell 2, and a second fixing block 12 is fixed to the outer side of the top cover 3. The first fixing block 11 and the second fixing block 12 are each provided in two sets, and a fixing bolt 13 is provided on the inner wall of the second fixing block 12.

[0042] The first fixing block 11 and the second fixing block 12 are configured to connect the housing 2 and the top cover 3 respectively by fixing bolts 13. It should be noted that the first fixing block 11 and the second fixing block 12 are each provided in two sets at both ends of the housing 2 and the top cover 3 respectively.

[0043] Specifically, a support frame 14 is fixed to the top of the top cover 3, and a feed hopper 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the support frame 14, with the discharge port of the feed hopper 15 connected to the inner wall of the top cover 3.

[0044] The support frame 14 can fix the feed hopper 15 to the top of the top cover 3. The design of the feed hopper 15's outlet communicating with the inner wall of the top cover 3 can transport materials into the housing 2, thereby enabling the materials to be transported by the conveying assembly 5.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0047] Specifically, the top of the bracket 1 is fixed with a vertically arranged spring 16 and a damper 17, the top of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 2, and the number of springs 16 and dampers 17 is several sets.

[0048] The use of spring 16 and damper 17 together can reduce the vibration of housing 2 above support 1, thus preventing the conveyor from having a reduced service life due to vibration during operation. The damper 17 can also create a resistance between the vibration source and the load, thereby reducing the amplitude and the speed of vibration transmission. It should be noted that several sets of spring 16 and damper 17 are evenly distributed at the bottom of housing 2.

[0049] Specifically, the inner wall of the bracket 1 is fixed with a connecting plate 18, and the number of connecting plates 18 is several sets.

[0050] The connecting plate 18 can connect the brackets 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the brackets 1.

[0051] During the material conveying process, the top cover 3 is first installed on the top of the housing 2. During installation, the positioning holes 10 on the inner wall of the top cover 3 are inserted into the corresponding positioning blocks 9 on the outside, ensuring that the second fixing blocks 12 fixed at both ends of the top cover 3 engage with the first fixing blocks 11 fixed at both ends of the housing 2. Then, the fixing bolts 13 inside the first fixing blocks 11 and second fixing blocks 12 are tightened to complete the installation of the top cover 3, preventing material splashing during conveying. The material to be conveyed is then poured into the feed hopper 15, which conveys the material into the housing 2. Finally, the motor 51 is started, driving the rotating part fixed at its output end. The rod 52 rotates, which drives the first conveying roller 53 and the second conveying roller 54 fixed on its outer side to rotate. The first conveying roller 53 conveys the material in the housing 2 to the discharge pipe 7. The second conveying roller 54, with its blades rotating in the opposite direction to the first conveying roller 53, can push the material back to the discharge pipe 7. During the material conveying process, the protective pad 61 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 2 by the mounting block 62, which can protect the inner wall of the housing 2, reduce the impact and wear of the material on the conveyor, and reduce the damage caused by the material colliding with the inner wall of the housing 2. The material will fall into the discharge pipe 7 by gravity at the through hole 8 and be discharged through the discharge pipe 7.

[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution 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 solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
