Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric feeder technology, and more specifically, to a fabric feeder self-cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A pellet mill feeder is a device that rapidly and regularly divides a continuous liquid flow into rows of intermittently dripping droplets. Utilizing the viscosity and surface tension of the material, the droplets falling onto a rotating steel belt naturally form hemispherical, uniform particles. It is usually used in conjunction with a steel belt pellet mill. After use, the feeder needs to be cleaned to prepare it for the next use.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN221156526U discloses a novel self-cleaning device for a material distributor, comprising a distributor stator, an outer rotating cylinder connected to the surface of the distributor stator, a feed pipe on one side of the distributor stator, a connecting pipe on the lower side of the feed pipe, and a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve connected to the surfaces of the feed pipe and the connecting pipe, respectively. A vacuum chamber is connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe, and a fixing pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the vacuum chamber, with a vacuum pump connected to the surface of the fixing pipe. This patent, by setting up a vacuum pump, a first solenoid valve, and a second solenoid valve, allows for immediate shutdown when cleaning the distributor. The first solenoid valve is closed, the vacuum pump is turned on, and after the pressure inside the vacuum chamber drops to a certain value, the second solenoid valve is opened, drawing excess material from the distributor into the vacuum chamber. Furthermore, a high-speed airflow in a vacuum environment is used to purge the discharge port, making material flow smoother and reducing carbon buildup. However, the above patent still has the following shortcomings: it can only remove the residual material inside the fabric feeder by vacuum negative pressure suction, which is not convenient for cleaning the inside and outside of the fabric feeder and has poor practicality. Therefore, we have proposed a fabric feeder self-cleaning device. Utility Model Content

The spray pipe 15 is located directly above the outer rotating cylinder 3. Multiple nozzles 16 are provided on the bottom surface of the spray pipe 15. Support frames 17 are fixedly sleeved on both ends of the spray pipe 15. The bottom surfaces of the two support frames 17 are respectively connected to the top surfaces of the two supports 1.

[0026] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The water receiving mechanism 12 includes support blocks 18 that are fixedly connected to the inner sides of two supports 1 respectively. A water receiving box 19 is placed on the top surface of the two support blocks 18 and below the outer rotating cylinder 3. A drain pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the water receiving box 19.

[0027] In this embodiment, when cleaning the fabric feeder, the water receiving box 19 is placed on two support blocks 18 to collect the cleaning wastewater. The wastewater collected by the water receiving box 19 is discharged through the drain pipe 20. The wastewater is collected by an external collection device, which can be a wastewater bucket.

[0028] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The recycling mechanism 11 includes a material extraction pipe 22 fixedly connected to the second end of the four-way solenoid valve 5. A vacuum box 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the material extraction pipe 22. A vacuum pump 24 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vacuum box 23. The input end of the vacuum pump 24 extends into the inner cavity of the vacuum box 23. A sealing door 25 is hinged to the side of the vacuum box 23. A collection box 26 is fitted inside the inner cavity of the vacuum box 23.

[0029] In this embodiment, a door lock is provided on the sealing door 25 to secure the sealing door 25.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 4 A water plug 21 is threadedly installed on the top surface of the water tank 7, and the bottom end of the water plug 21 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, cleaning water is added to the inner cavity of the water tank 7 by removing the water plug 21.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The sides of the collection box 26 are respectively attached to the inner wall of the vacuum box 23 and the inner side of the sealing door 25.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the vacuum chamber 23 and the inner side of the sealing door 25 are used to limit the collection box 26, ensuring that the collection box 26 is stably placed in the inner cavity of the vacuum chamber 23.

[0034] Working principle: In use, first open the end connecting the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the feed pipe 6, so that the feed pipe 6 conveys the material from the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the guide pipe 4 to the distributor stator 2. The external drive device drives the outer drum 3 to rotate. When the material distribution hole on the outer drum 3 is aligned with the discharge port on the distributor stator 2, the material drips onto the steel belt conveyor, thus completing the material distribution. Then, when the material distribution is complete, close the end connecting the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the feed pipe 6, and start the vacuum pump 24 to pump the material into the vacuum. The inner cavity of the vacuum chamber 23 is evacuated, creating a vacuum negative pressure state. At this time, the end connecting the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the material extraction pipe 22 is opened. The negative pressure suction within the vacuum chamber 23 generates suction in the material extraction pipe 22, the four-way solenoid valve 5, and the guide tube 4, drawing excess material from the distributor stator 2 into the inner cavity of the vacuum chamber 23. This material is then stored in the collection box 26 for later direct removal and processing. Finally, the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the material extraction pipe 22 are closed. Connect one end of the material extraction pipe 22 and open the other end of the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the first water pipe 9. Place the water receiving box 19 on the support block 18 inside the two supports 1. Finally, start the first water pump 8 and the second water pump 13. Water is pumped into the distributor stator 2 through the first water pump 8, the first water pipe 9, the four-way solenoid valve 5 and the conduit 4 to clean the distributor stator 2. At the same time, the cleaning water in the distributor stator 2 is discharged from the discharge port. When the discharge port on the distributor stator 2 and the outer rotating drum 3 are connected... When the fabric holes on the outer rotating drum 3 are aligned, the cleaning water is discharged from the fabric holes on the outer rotating drum 3 and the wastewater is collected by the water receiving box 19. In addition, the cleaning water in the inner cavity of the water tank 7 is pumped to the spray pipe 15 through the second water pump 13 and the second water pipe 14, so that the cleaning water in the spray pipe 15 is sprayed downward from the nozzle 16. The water sprayed from the nozzle 16 is used to rinse the outside of the outer rotating drum 3. Similarly, the cleaning wastewater is collected by the water receiving box 19 and discharged through the drain pipe 20.

[0035] 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 its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
