Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a self-moving batching silo. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional conveying systems, the batching silo is just a cone-shaped silo that cannot be manually moved. It needs to be transported to the docking equipment by forklifts or AGVs. This requires reserving space for the AGVs in the height and sides of the batching silo, resulting in a large overall system footprint and the need for additional AGVs, which increases the operating cost and makes the operation more complicated.

[0003] In addition, when the existing hopper is connected to the upper-level unloading equipment, the two ends of the short connector are often fixed to the hopper and the unloading equipment manually. The positioning is difficult during manual assembly, and when the hopper is large, the diameter of the short connector is also large, which often requires multiple people to cooperate in the installation, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem that existing material handling systems require trolleys for transporting material silos, resulting in large system space requirements and high operating costs, this invention provides a self-moving material handling silo to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a self-moving material dispensing hopper, including a hopper assembly and a lifting seat. The hopper assembly includes a frame and a receiving hopper, rollers, and support legs fixed to the frame. The rollers and support legs are located below the receiving hopper, and the lower surface of the support legs is higher than the lower surface of the rollers. The lifting seat is installed below the dispensing equipment, and the lifting seat includes a seat plate that supports the support legs. The lifting seat can drive the seat plate to rise and fall.

[0006] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the lifting seat further includes a support frame and a plurality of air cushion springs located at the bottom of the support frame, and the seat plate is fixed to the support frame.

[0007] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, along the rolling direction of the roller, two oppositely arranged guide plates are provided on one side of the lifting seat, and the hopper assembly enters the lifting seat through the channel between the two guide plates.

[0008] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate is provided on the other side of the lifting seat along the rolling direction of the rollers. When the support leg is placed on the seat plate, the frame contacts the limiting plate.

[0009] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the top of the receiving hopper is further provided with a telescopic pipe, which is driven to extend and retract by a cylinder.

[0010] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the seat plate and the support leg are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and each seat plate has a small baffle on its side. When the lifting seat is in the lowered state, the lower surface of the support leg is higher than the upper surface of the small baffle.

[0011] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a base plate and an upper cover connected to a support frame. The top of the air cushion spring is fixed to the upper cover, the base plate is slidably connected to the upper cover, the base plate is fixedly installed, and the air cushion spring is located between the upper cover and the base plate.

[0012] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the upper cover has a side plate that covers the outside of the air cushion spring.

[0013] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a wear-resistant pad is provided at the bottom of the support leg.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) The present invention has rollers at the bottom of the receiving hopper. After the receiving hopper has finished receiving the material, it can be pushed away directly without the need for a trolley, which saves space and reduces costs. At the same time, a lifting seat is set under the discharging equipment. The lifting seat is used to lift the hopper assembly, so that the hopper assembly is lifted as a whole. On the one hand, the hopper assembly can be fixed, and on the other hand, the hopper assembly can be accurately positioned so that the hopper assembly can be effectively connected with the discharging equipment above.

[0016] (2) The present invention has a telescopic tube on the top of the receiving hopper. The telescopic tube is driven to extend and retract by a cylinder. During on-site installation, only the screws at one end need to be tightened. There is no need for manual installation at both ends, thus reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0017] (3) The present invention provides guide plates and limiting plates on both sides of the lifting seat. The guide plates guide the hopper assembly into the seat plate, and the limiting plates limit the forward position of the hopper assembly so that the support legs of the hopper assembly accurately land on the seat plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a self-moving material dispensing hopper includes a hopper assembly 1 and a lifting seat 2. The hopper assembly 1 includes a frame 101 and a receiving hopper 102, rollers 103, and support legs 104 fixed to the frame 101. The rollers 103 and support legs 104 are located below the receiving hopper 102, and the lower surface of the support legs 104 is higher than the lower surface of the rollers 103. The lifting seat 2 is installed below the dispensing equipment and includes a seat plate 201 that supports the support legs 104. The lifting seat 2 can drive the seat plate 201 to rise and fall.

[0028] The hopper assembly 1 is used for receiving materials and can also move under the drive of the rollers 103. The lifting seat 2 is mounted on a fixed component and can only move up and down. Since the lower surface of the support leg 104 is higher than the lower surface of the roller 103, the support leg 104 does not contact the ground when the roller 103 is placed on the ground. Before receiving materials, the hopper assembly 1 can be pushed directly to the bottom of the discharging device. At this time, the support leg 104 is exactly on the seat plate 201. By raising the seat plate 201, the hopper assembly 1 is raised as a whole until the inlet of the hopper assembly 1 is connected to the outlet of the discharging device. At this time, the roller 103 leaves the ground, and the inlet of the hopper assembly 1 is locked to the outlet of the discharging device before discharging. After receiving materials, the seat plate 201 is lowered to return the roller 103 to the ground, and the hopper assembly 1 can then be pushed outward. By utilizing the lifting characteristics of the lifting seat 2, the hopper assembly 1 can be switched between a rolling state and a fixed state, and the hopper assembly 1 can be lifted and quickly connected to the material discharge equipment.

[0029] The lifting seat 2 may include a support frame 202 and a plurality of air cushion springs 203 located at the bottom of the support frame 202, and the seat plate 201 is fixed to the support frame 202. The bottom of the air cushion springs 203 is supported by a fixed component (such as the ground or the base of the feeding device), and the support frame 202 serves as the mounting base for the air cushion springs 203 and the seat plate 201. When the air cushion springs 203 are lifted, the support frame 202 and the seat plate 201 are lifted upward.

[0030] For the installation of the air spring 203, the following structure can be used: (e.g.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting seat 2 also includes a base plate 204 and an upper cover 205 connected to the support frame 202. The top of the air cushion spring 203 is fixed to the upper cover 205, and the base plate 204 is slidably connected to the upper cover 205. The base plate 204 is fixedly installed, that is, the base plate 204 is fixed to the ground or the base of the feeding equipment, and the air cushion spring 203 is located between the upper cover 205 and the base plate 204. When the air cushion spring 203 inflates, the upper cover 205 is lifted away from the base plate 204 by the air cushion spring 203, and conversely, when the air cushion spring 203 deflates, the distance between the upper cover 205 and the base plate 204 decreases. The upper cover 205 and the base plate 204 can be connected by bolts, and the bolts serve as guides. In a further design, in order to protect the air cushion spring 203, the upper cover 205 is preferably provided with a side plate 2051 covering the outside of the air cushion spring 203.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the support leg 104 is provided with a wear-resistant pad 3, which can prevent the support leg 104 from slipping on the seat plate 201.

[0032] The seat plate 201 and the support leg 104 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence, such as... Figure 1and Figure 4 As shown, the hopper assembly 1 in this embodiment is provided with four support legs 104, and the lifting seat 2 is also provided with four corresponding seat plates 201. Each seat plate 201 has a small baffle 4 on its side, which protects the support legs 104 placed on the seat plate 201. When the lifting seat 2 is in the lowered state, the lower surface of the support leg 104 is higher than the upper surface of the small baffle 4, so that the small baffle 4 will not obstruct the support leg 104 when it is pushed in or out.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, along the rolling direction of the roller 103, two opposing guide plates 5 are provided on one side of the lifting seat 2. The hopper assembly 1 enters the lifting seat 2 through the channel between the two guide plates 5. The guide plates 5 guide the movement path of the hopper assembly 1, ensuring that the hopper assembly 1 accurately reaches below the discharging device. Compared with the guide rail structure, this embodiment does not require the roller 103 to cooperate with the guide plates 5; the guide plates 5 only need to block the hopper assembly 1 from the side.

[0035] To prevent excessive movement of the hopper assembly 1, in a further design, a limiting plate 6 is provided on the other side of the lifting seat 2 along the rolling direction of the roller 103. When the support leg 104 is placed on the seat plate 201, the frame 101 contacts the limiting plate 6. Figure 5 As shown, roller 103 moves in the front-to-back direction. Guide plate 5 is located behind the lifting seat 2, and limiting plate 6 is located in front of the lifting seat 2. The hopper assembly 1 is pushed into the lifting seat 2 from back to front under the guidance of guide plate 5 and is stopped by limiting plate 6. After the material is discharged, the hopper assembly 1 is pushed out from front to back. Wear-resistant pads 3 can also be provided on the parts of guide plate 5 and limiting plate 6 that contact the hopper assembly 1.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Based on the above embodiment, the top of the receiving hopper 102 is also provided with a telescopic pipe 105, which is driven to extend and retract by a cylinder 106. The telescopic pipe 105 replaces the traditional fixed-length short connector, and the length of the telescopic pipe 105 can be adjusted according to the actual distance to connect the telescopic pipe 105 with the feeding equipment. The assembly personnel only need to lock and fix the telescopic pipe 105 to the flange on the end face of the feeding equipment, without the need for multiple people to assist.
