Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of quantitative material discharge technology, and in particular to a soft, cylindrical material discharge structure. Background Technology
[0002] In prisons, humane services are often provided to inmates, such as rewarding them with cigarettes for good behavior. However, this cigarette distribution is often done through human interaction. If a large amount of cigarettes is distributed, it becomes a workload for the guards, causing chaos among the inmates and posing a risk of attack to the guards. In such cases, it is inconvenient to manage the inmates, thus requiring an increase in the number of guards. Therefore, this application proposes a soft, cylindrical material discharge structure that can quantitatively control the amount of cigarettes discharged without the need for guards' intervention, and the contact between the inmates and the machine will not pose a threat to the personnel. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a soft cylindrical material discharge structure, which adopts a machine for quantitatively discharging cylindrical material, thus solving the problem of risks and burdens for guards in prisons when distributing cigarettes to prisoners.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided:
[0005] This solution provides a soft, cylindrical material discharge structure, including a hopper at the top for feeding and at the bottom for discharging. The hopper has a feeding chamber and a discharge chamber connected to the feeding chamber. A stacking structure is provided between the feeding chamber and the discharge chamber to stack the material in the feeding chamber in a single linear arrangement into the discharge chamber. The discharge chamber also has a quantitative discharge structure, which includes two baffles that are horizontally inserted into the discharge chamber. The distance between the two baffles is equal to the sum of the diameters of the quantity of material to be discharged. When the lower baffle is inserted into the discharge chamber, the upper baffle is removed from the discharge chamber, and the material falls above the lower baffle. When the upper baffle is fully inserted into the discharge chamber, the lower baffle is removed, and the quantity of material to be discharged falls from the bottom of the discharge chamber.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution: the silo is equipped with a feeding chamber and a discharging chamber. The feeding chamber is used to load materials, and the stacking structure sends the materials into the discharging chamber in a single arrangement. The discharging structure in the discharging chamber then drops the materials in a specified quantity, which can be used for automated smoke generation operations, reduce the burden on guards, avoid contact between guards and prisoners, and help strengthen control.
[0007] The material stacking structure includes a rotor, which is a regular hexagonal prism and is embedded in the inner wall of one side of the bottom of the feeding chamber. After the rotor rotates, a variable feeding gap is formed between it and the inner wall of the other side of the feeding chamber. When the feeding gap is at its maximum, only a single material is allowed to pass through, and when the feeding gap is at its minimum, no material is allowed to pass through.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material in the discharge chamber can be arranged in a single order, which can not only prevent the discharge chamber from getting stuck, but also make it easier to control the amount of material discharged.
[0009] A linkage structure is provided between the material stacking structure and the quantitative discharge structure. The linkage structure includes a drive source, a first toothed disc connected to one end of the rotor, a second toothed disc meshing with the first toothed disc connected to the output end of the drive source, a lever eccentrically connected to the second toothed disc, a slide rail installed on the outside of the discharge chamber, a slide block connected to the slide rail, two baffle plates installed on the slide block at different heights, and one end of the lever hinged to the slide block.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage structure enables the drive source to simultaneously drive the material feeding structure and the quantitative discharging structure, thereby improving the performance.
[0011] The driving source is a drive motor. The feeding chamber includes two inclined plates on the left and right, and the discharging chamber includes two straight plates on the left and right. The front and rear of the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber are connected to two side plates. The two inclined plates form a bucket shape. The distance between the two straight plates is equal to the diameter of a single material, and the distance between the two side plates is equal to the length of the material.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy for materials to be neatly placed into the feeding chamber.
[0013] The slide rail is installed on the outer end face of one side plate and the drive motor is installed on the inner end face of the side plate. The inclined plate and the straight plate are both fixed to the side plate on one side by bolts. The two side plates are connected by bolts and together with the inclined plate and the straight plate form the feed chamber and the discharge chamber, respectively.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure is optimized, with the slide rail installed on the outside of the side plate and the drive motor installed on the inside of the side plate, which facilitates the realization of the linkage structure and reduces the size of the device.
[0015] The inclined plate and straight plate on one side are an integral structure, while the inclined plate and straight plate on the other side are disconnected at the connection to form a notch. The rotor is installed on the notch and the two ends of the rotor are rotatably connected to the side plates on both sides.
[0016] The above approach has the following advantages:
[0017] This application employs a hopper with an infeed chamber and an outlet chamber. The infeed chamber is used to load materials, and a stacking structure feeds the materials into the outlet chamber in a single arrangement. The quantitative discharging structure in the outlet chamber then drops the materials in a specified quantity, thus enabling automated smoke-generating operations, reducing the burden on guards, and facilitating enhanced control. By using a machine that quantitatively dispenses rod-shaped materials, the risk of guards discharging smoke to prisoners in prisons is resolved. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The present invention will be illustrated with reference to the embodiments.
[0023] This solution is a soft, cylindrical material discharge structure, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, it includes a hopper with a top for feeding and a bottom for discharging. The hopper has a feeding chamber and a discharging chamber, with the feeding chamber located above the discharging chamber and communicating with it. Specifically, the feeding chamber includes two inclined plates 1 on the left and right, and the discharging chamber includes two straight plates 5 on the left and right. Two side plates are connected to the front and rear of both the feeding and discharging chambers. The two inclined plates 1 form a bucket shape, and the distance between the two straight plates 5 is equal to the diameter of a single material. The distance between the two side plates is equal to the length of the material, facilitating material placement. In this embodiment, the soft, round rod-shaped material is any type of cigarette available on the market. When using this device, the cigarettes can be neatly arranged in the feeding chamber beforehand.
[0024] Furthermore, a material stacking structure is provided between the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber. This material stacking structure is actually used to stack the material in the feeding chamber into the discharging chamber in a single linear arrangement, ensuring that the material in the discharging chamber can be arranged in a single arrangement. This not only avoids the discharging chamber from being blocked, but also makes it easier to control the amount of material discharged.
[0025] To facilitate quantitative discharge, the discharge chamber is also equipped with a quantitative discharge structure, which includes two baffle plates 4 inserted laterally into the discharge chamber. The two baffle plates 4 can move freely laterally, as detailed below. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a slide rail 12 is installed on the outside of the discharge chamber, and a slide block 3 is connected to the slide rail 12. Two support arms 8 are connected to the slide block 3. The two support arms 8 are located on both sides of the discharge chamber, and two pads 7 of different heights are respectively provided on the two support arms 8. Then, two baffle plates 4 are connected to the two pads 7 respectively, so that the two baffle plates 4 are installed on the slide block 3 with one high and one low. Slots 13 corresponding to the two baffle plates 4 are opened on both straight plates 5. Figure 3 As shown, the slots 13 can be connected to form a large slot 13, which is beneficial for observing the cigarettes in the discharge chamber. If only one cigarette needs to be discharged at a time, the height difference between the two pads 7 can be equal to the diameter of one cigarette. If only two or three cigarettes need to be discharged at a time, the height difference between the two pads 7 can be equal to the diameter of two or three cigarettes. That is, the distance between the two baffles 4 is equal to the sum of the diameters of the quantity of material to be discharged. Since the two baffles 4 are connected to the slide 3 at the same time, they can be regarded as being in a linked state. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the higher baffle 4 is longer than the lower baffle 4. When the lower baffle 4 is inserted into the discharge chamber, the upper baffle 4 is removed from the discharge chamber. At this time, the material falls above the lower baffle 4. When the upper baffle 4 is fully inserted into the discharge chamber, the lower baffle 4 is removed, and the quantity of material to be discharged falls from the bottom of the discharge chamber.
[0026] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the material stacking structure in this embodiment includes a rotor 2. The rotor 2 is a regular hexagonal prism structure and is embedded in the inner wall of one side of the bottom of the feeding chamber. After the rotor 2 rotates, a variable feeding gap is formed between it and the inner wall of the other side of the feeding chamber. When the feeding gap is at its maximum, only a single piece of material can pass through; when the feeding gap is at its minimum, no material can pass through. As can be seen above, the rotor 2 is a regular hexagonal prism with a side surface and a side edge. When the side closest to the inner wall of the feeding chamber is the side surface of the rotor 2, the feeding gap is at its maximum, allowing only a single cigarette to pass through. When the side closest to the inner wall of the feeding chamber is the side edge of the rotor 2, the feeding gap is at its minimum, and this feeding gap is smaller than the diameter of the cigarette, causing the cigarette to be unable to pass through. This ensures that the cigarette falls into the discharging chamber singly.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one side inclined plate 1 and straight plate 5 are integral structures, and the other side inclined plate 1 and straight plate 5 are disconnected at the connection to form a notch 14. The rotor 2 is installed on the notch 14 and both ends of the rotor 2 are rotatably connected to the side plates on both sides.
[0028] In this embodiment, a linkage structure is also provided between the material stacking structure and the quantitative discharge structure. The linkage structure includes a drive source, which can be a drive motor 6. One end of the rotor 2 extends out of the side plate and is connected to a first toothed disc 9. The output end of the drive source extends out of the side plate and is connected to a second toothed disc 10 that meshes with the first toothed disc 9. A lever 11 is eccentrically connected to the second toothed disc 10. One end of the lever 11 is hinged to the slide block 3. Specifically, the slide rail 12 is installed on the outer end face of one side plate and the drive motor 6 is installed on the inner end face of the side plate. The inclined plate 1 and the straight plate 5 are both fixed to one side plate by bolts. The two side plates are connected by bolts and form a feeding chamber and a discharge chamber with the inclined plate 1 and the straight plate 5, respectively.
