Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workshop logistics technology, specifically to a material transfer box. Background Technology
[0002] Thermosetting powder coatings are characterized by being pollution-free, energy-saving, easy to use, and having high mechanical strength, making them the fastest-growing green and environmentally friendly coating in the current coating market. Current production technology typically involves crushing the extruded coating sheets using crushing rollers, and then transporting them via conveyor belts or pipelines to subsequent crushing and mixing equipment.
[0003] In this production process, conveyor belts or pipelines are suitable for continuous automated production, but they also have the following defects: (1) Conveyor belts or pipeline systems are fixed and cannot adapt to the needs of multi-station and intermittent production, especially when transferring small batches or special specification sheets, they lack mobility; (2) The material surface is prone to static adsorption, which can easily stick and accumulate, potentially causing blockages. In particular, for pipeline systems, internal cleaning is difficult, and downtime maintenance affects production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a material transfer device that combines efficient unloading, anti-clogging, and flexible adaptation as a supplement to traditional conveying solutions to meet the production needs of extruded sheets. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a material transfer box, comprising: a frame; a hopper, fixed on the frame, which is a conical hopper with a larger top and a smaller bottom, with a feeding port at the top and a discharging port at the bottom; a hopper cover and a valve plate, which are detachably installed with the feeding port and the discharging port of the hopper, respectively; and casters arranged at the bottom of the frame.
[0007] Preferably, the frame is a square metal frame structure, including legs and longitudinal and transverse crossbeams for fixing the legs. The longitudinal crossbeams are higher than the discharge port of the hopper, and the transverse crossbeams are arranged close to the casters.
[0008] Preferably, the valve plate is configured to be inserted or removed from the outside of the transverse crossarm.
[0009] Preferably, the discharge port of the hopper is provided with a horizontal insert plate groove, and the valve plate is detachably installed in the insert plate groove.
[0010] Preferably, the valve plate includes a partition body and a handle, the partition body is assembled in the insert groove, and the handle is fixed to the partition body as a whole.

[0012] Preferably, the silo wall has a vertical viewing window on one side of the transverse crossbeam.
[0013] Preferably, the feeding port of the silo is evenly distributed with several grid bars.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. Flexible adaptation to multi-workstation needs: The square metal frame structure, combined with bottom casters, supports manual movement to different workstations, solving the limitations of fixed installation of traditional conveyor belt / pipeline systems, and is especially suitable for small-batch or intermittent production scenarios;
[0016] 2. Anti-clogging quick-release structure: The conical chamber design, combined with the horizontal insert plate groove and hand-tightening nut, enables quick insertion and removal of the valve plate for unloading.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0028] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram shows a material transfer box, comprising: a frame 1; a hopper 2, fixed to the frame 1, which is a conical hopper wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a feeding port at the top and a discharge port at the bottom; a hopper cover 3 and a valve plate 4, which are detachably installed to the feeding port and discharge port of the hopper 2, respectively; and casters 5, located at the bottom of the frame 1. This embodiment provides a modular, movable transfer box. The conical hopper 2 design reduces material accumulation, the casters 5 enable flexible transfer, and the detachable hopper cover 3 and valve plate 4 facilitate loading, unloading, and cleaning. It supports manual movement to different workstations, overcoming the limitations of fixed installation in traditional conveyor belt / pipeline systems, and is particularly suitable for small-batch or intermittent production scenarios.
[0029] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is a square metal frame structure, including support legs 1.1 and longitudinal crossbeams 1.2 and transverse crossbeams 1.3 that fix the support legs 1.1. The longitudinal crossbeam 1.2 is higher than the discharge port of the hopper 2, and the transverse crossbeam 1.3 is arranged near the casters 5. The square metal frame enhances the structural stability of the frame 1. The high position of the longitudinal crossbeam 1.2 provides operating space for the discharge port, and the transverse crossbeam 1.3 is close to the casters 5 to lower the center of gravity, improve the smoothness of pushing and the overall structural stability, and at the same time provide auxiliary support for the operation of the valve plate 4.
[0030] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the valve plate 4 is configured to be inserted and removed from the outside of the transverse crossarm 1.3. By inserting and removing the valve plate 4 from the outside of the transverse crossarm 1.3, it facilitates the feeding port of the crushing and mixing equipment from the longitudinal direction, which is especially suitable for operation in narrow spaces.
[0031] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a horizontal insert groove 2.1 is provided at the discharge port of hopper 2, and valve plate 4 is detachably installed in insert groove 2.1. Insert groove 2.1 consists of a square sealing frame and two side strips. The top sealing plate and the two side strips are fixed to the discharge port of hopper 2 by bolts, and the space between the sealing frame and the two side strips forms insert groove 2.1. The horizontal insert groove 2.1 ensures accurate guidance of valve plate 4, avoids material leakage caused by misalignment, and improves system reliability.
[0032] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the valve plate 4 includes a baffle body 4.1 and a handle 4.2. The baffle body 4.1 is assembled in the insert plate groove 2.1, and the handle 4.2 is fixed to the baffle body 4.1 as a whole. The handle 4.2 provides a force fulcrum, allowing the operator to complete the insertion and removal actions with one hand, significantly improving operating efficiency and ergonomics.
[0033] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the discharge port of the hopper 2 is equipped with a hand-tightening nut 2.2, which is used to secure the partition body 4.1. The hand-tightening nut 2.2 can prevent the valve plate 4 from loosening due to material pressure, vibration, etc., and at the same time realize the quick locking / releasing of the valve plate 4 without tools.
[0034] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a vertical viewing window 2.3 is provided on one side of the transverse crossbeam 1.3 of the silo wall 2. The vertical viewing window is located on the operating side, which facilitates real-time monitoring of the material accumulation height and status in the silo, timely intervention for potential blockages, and reduces the number of times valves are opened and closed blindly.
[0035] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the feeding port of the silo 2 is evenly distributed with several grid bars 2.4. The grid bars 2.4 can intercept excessively large material blocks from entering the silo 2. Excessively large sheets can only fall after being manually broken up, avoiding blockage at the discharge port or other subsequent stages. In this embodiment, the grid bars 2.4 are directly welded to the silo 2, or all the grid bars 2.4 can be assembled into an integral grid cover, forming a detachable structure with the silo 2.
[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Other obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
