Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically an automatic leveling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial silicon, also known as metallic silicon, is produced by drying and smelting silica sludge. Specifically, wet silica sludge is dried in a special oven and then transferred to a medium-frequency furnace for smelting and impurity removal. Silica sludge is a low-temperature antioxidant, typically soft, with a fine texture, light weight, high porosity, and strong water absorption. Dried silica exposed to air easily generates dust, while industrial silicon produced by medium-frequency furnace smelting is hard and brittle. Given the different characteristics of silicon materials at different stages of industrial silicon production, many problems remain to be solved in the drying, transfer, smelting, and crushing processes.

[0003] In the material feeding stage, the problem of automatic feeding is generally solved by quantitative feeding of materials to the tray by a feeding machine. However, the automatically falling materials are usually unevenly distributed. Referring to Chinese invention patent, publication number "CN 219602526 U", a "Tobacco Material Flavoring Machine Front Feeding and Shaping and Feeding Uniform Flow Guiding Device" is disclosed. The feeding and shaping unit drives the feeding roller to rotate and feed the material by an electric actuator in the feeding and shaping unit, which solves the problem of uneven material distribution. However, the uniformity effect is not good for materials containing large particles and lumps. Moreover, electric drive increases production costs. In humid or corrosive environments, the performance and lifespan of the electric actuator may be affected. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic leveling mechanism to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic leveling mechanism includes a roller conveyor, a first crossbar, a second crossbar, a combined paddle, and a material comb. Both ends of the first and second crossbars are fixedly connected above the roller conveyor. Both ends of the combined paddle are fixedly connected to the front side of the first crossbar, and the top of the material comb is fixedly connected to the front side of the second crossbar.

[0007] Preferably, the components arranged in the following order along the material conveying direction are a combination of paddles, a first crossbar, a material comb, and a second crossbar. The material is leveled sequentially by the combination of paddles and the material comb along the roller conveyor, resulting in a more even material after being leveled in layers.

[0008] Preferably, the combined paddle assembly includes a first paddle and a second paddle. Both the first and second paddles are horizontally placed in a V-shape. The distance from the tip of the first paddle to the first crossbar is longer than the distance from the tip of the second paddle to the first crossbar. The first paddle is located in the center of the combined paddle assembly, and the second paddles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first paddle. There are two second paddles. Unevenly leveled material usually accumulates more in the middle. In the combined paddle assembly, the first paddle first moves the material with the most material in the center to both sides, and then the second paddles evenly distribute the material moved from the sides by the first paddle.

[0009] Preferably, the material comb includes several transversely arranged comb teeth, with an arc-shaped notch formed between the tops of adjacent comb teeth. The height of the bottom of the comb teeth from the roller conveyor is lower than the height of the bottom of the combined paddle from the roller conveyor. After being leveled by the combined paddle, the material is distributed on both sides of the tray compared to the unevenly leveled material, but there is still a large gap on the side opposite to the material movement direction. The material gathers on the side of the material movement direction. The comb teeth in the material comb are more evenly distributed, which evenly disperses the material. The arc-shaped notch allows lumpy material to pass through, preventing material accumulation.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. In this utility model, the first paddle, using a combination of paddles, firstly moves the unleveled material piled in the middle to both sides. Then, the second paddle further evens out the material moved from the sides by the first paddle. After being leveled by the combination of paddles, the material is leveled again by the evenly distributed teeth in the material comb. The arc-shaped notch allows lumpy material to pass through, preventing material accumulation. At this point, the material is evenly distributed inside the tray. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, an automatic leveling mechanism includes a roller conveyor 1, a first crossbar 2, a second crossbar 3, a combined paddle 4, and a material comb 5. The mechanism is characterized in that: both ends of the first crossbar 2 and the second crossbar 3 are fixedly connected above the roller conveyor 1, both ends of the combined paddle 4 are fixedly connected to the front side of the first crossbar 2, and the top of the material comb 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second crossbar 3.

[0018] Among them, along the material conveying direction, there are, in sequence, a combination of paddles 4, a first crossbar 2, a material comb 5, and a second crossbar 3.

[0019] The combined paddle 4 includes a first paddle 41 and a second paddle 42. Both the first paddle 41 and the second paddle 42 are horizontally placed in a V-shape. The distance from the tip of the first paddle 41 to the first crossbar 2 is longer than the distance from the tip of the second paddle 42 to the first crossbar 2. The first paddle 41 is located in the center of the combined paddle 4, and the second paddle 42 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first paddle 41. There are two second paddles 42. Uneven material tends to accumulate more in the middle area. In this process, firstly, the first paddle 41 will move the part of the material that is most accumulated in the center to both sides. Then, the second paddle 42 will further distribute the material that the first paddle 41 has moved to both sides evenly again.

[0020] The material comb 5 includes several horizontally arranged comb teeth 51, with an arc-shaped notch formed between the tops of adjacent comb teeth 51. The bottom of the comb teeth 51 is lower than the height of the bottom of the combined paddle 4 from the roller conveyor 1. After being leveled by the combined paddle 4, the material is more evenly distributed laterally on the tray. Compared with the unleveled state, the material is no longer concentrated on one side. However, a certain space is still left on the opposite side of the material movement direction. At this time, the comb teeth 51 of the material comb 5 are more evenly distributed, which can effectively disperse the material. The arc-shaped notch 52 allows lumpy material to pass through smoothly, thereby preventing the material from accumulating at that point.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the material is placed on the tray and conveyed by the roller conveyor. First, the material is pushed to both sides by the first pusher in the combination of pushers. Then, the second pusher pushes the material near the sides evenly. Finally, the material passes through the material comb. The neatly arranged comb teeth evenly disperse the material inside the tray, and the arc-shaped notch allows blocky and large particle materials to pass through, avoiding accumulation on the roller conveyor.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
