They can continuously transport materials along a fixed route, and their loading and unloading are carried out during operation. They have the advantages of high production efficiency, compact structure, convenient manufacturing and maintenance, and easy automatic control.

[0003] Currently, the scrapers of scraper conveyors on the market are all flat-headed. Flat-headed scrapers have low friction, which makes them prone to slipping when conveying fibrous materials such as hay and straw. This causes the scraper to be unable to convey the fibrous materials, resulting in blockage of the feed inlet and affecting the conveying effect of hay. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

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

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] Specifically, it refers to a straw and forage scraper conveyor, including a housing 1. A drive shaft 3 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1. The front end of the drive shaft 3 rotatably extends through the front surface of the housing 1. An input sprocket 5 is fitted on the outer surface of the front end of the drive shaft 3. A driven shaft 2 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing 1 away from the drive shaft 3. Two parallel drive sprockets 4 are fitted on the outer surface of the drive shaft 3 inside the housing 1. Two parallel driven sprockets 6 are fitted on the outer surface of the driven shaft 2. Two chains 7 are connected between the two drive sprockets 4 and the two driven sprockets 6.

[0030] In use, the input sprocket 5 is connected to an external motor drive, so that the input sprocket 5 can input power, which makes the drive shaft 3 synchronously drive the two drive sprockets 4 to rotate. The drive sprockets 4 drive the chain 7 to move, so that the two chains 7 move synchronously inside the outer shell 1.

[0031] The upper surface of the outer shell 1 is provided with a feed inlet 10 communicating with its interior, and the lower surface of the outer shell 1 away from the feed inlet 10 is provided with a discharge outlet 11 communicating with its interior. Multiple toothed steel scrapers 8 and rubber flat-head scrapers 9 are provided on the two chains 7. The multiple toothed steel scrapers 8 and multiple rubber flat-head scrapers 9 are alternately arranged on the two chains 7 and are all connected by pins. The toothed steel scraper 8 includes a scraper 81, and the top of the scraper 81 has multiple serrated grooves 82.

[0032] In use, the outer casing 1 is placed vertically, with the inlet 10 at the bottom and the outlet 11 at the top. Fibrous material is poured into the outer casing 1 through the inlet 10. At this time, the toothed steel scraper 8 and the rubber flat-head scraper 9 move synchronously with the chain 7, so that the fibrous material falling into the outer casing 1 is conveyed upward to the outlet 11 by the scraper. Meanwhile, the toothed steel scraper 8 adopts a biomimetic design, mimicking the claws of animals, which can effectively scrape the fibrous material and prevent the material from slipping. The rubber flat-head scraper 9 can prevent small particles from leaking out, increase the sealing of the scraper elevator, and improve the conveying efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, this invention provides an improved embodiment two based on embodiment one.

[0034] Please see Figure 6-8 Specifically, the toothed groove 82 on the scraper 81 can also be rectangular. The side wall of the toothed groove 82 is provided with a shrinkage groove 83. A clamping block 84 is slidably connected in the shrinkage groove 83. The clamping block 84 can slide from the shrinkage groove 83 into the toothed groove 82. In this way, when the toothed steel scraper 8 scrapes fibrous materials, the clamping block 84 can clamp the fibrous materials falling into the toothed groove 82, further preventing the toothed steel scraper 8 from slipping when scraping fibrous materials, thus improving the use effect of the forage scraper elevator.

[0035] The scraper 81 has a movable cavity 85. The bottom of the contraction groove 83 is connected to the movable cavity 85. A synchronous slide plate 86 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the movable cavity 85. A connecting plate 87 is provided on the lower surface of the clamping block 84. The lower side of the connecting plate 87 extends into the movable cavity 85 through the contraction groove 83 and is connected to the synchronous slide plate 86. A push rod 88 is provided on the rear surface of the synchronous slide plate 86. The other end of the push rod 88 slides through the outer surface of the scraper 81. A tension spring 89 is provided between the synchronous slide plate 86 and the inner wall of the movable cavity 85 and is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod 88. When the tension spring 89 is not affected by the tension, the tension spring 89 will exert a tension on the synchronous slide plate 86, and the clamping block 84 will retract into the contraction groove 83 under the pull of the connecting plate 87.

[0036] A contact protrusion 810 is provided on the rear inner wall of the outer casing 1. The contact protrusion 810 is in the shape of a right trapezoid. The inclined surface of the contact protrusion 810 is located on the side near the feed inlet 10, and the vertical surface of the contact protrusion 810 is located on the side near the discharge outlet 11. The push rod 88 is located at one end of the scraper 81 and can contact and slide with the inclined surface and the horizontal surface of the contact protrusion 810.

[0037] When the toothed steel scraper 8 moves to the side near the feed inlet 10, the push rod 88 contacts the inclined surface of the contact protrusion 810. At this time, the inclined surface of the contact protrusion 810 exerts a pushing force on the push rod 88, causing the push rod 88 to push the synchronous slide plate 86 to slide in the movable cavity 85. At the same time, the tension spring 89 is stretched, and the connecting plate 87 drives the clamping block 84 to move out of the shrinkage groove 83, thereby clamping the fibrous material at the feed inlet 10. When the toothed steel scraper 8 moves to the side near the discharge outlet 11, the push rod 88 slides out of the contact protrusion 810. At this time, the tension spring 89 loses its restriction, thereby pulling the clamping block 84 to retract into the shrinkage groove 83, no longer clamping the fibrous material. At this time, the fibrous material can fall from the discharge outlet 11. Using the above structure, the fibrous material can be automatically clamped at the feed inlet 10 and automatically released at the discharge outlet 11, which is automatic and convenient.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
