[0008] In one embodiment, the cavity includes a vacuum chamber with a third opening, and the vacuum chamber is connected to the discharge pipe through the third opening.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cavity further includes a flow channel with a first opening and a second opening. The flow channel is connected to the feed spindle through the first opening and to the air inlet pipe through the second opening. A butterfly valve is disposed between the flow channel and the vacuum chamber and is used to control the connection between the flow channel and the vacuum chamber.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mold body further includes a second flange, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the butterfly valve component. One end of the second flange is connected to the butterfly valve component, and the other end is connected to the connecting part.

[0011] Furthermore, the butterfly valve component is a pneumatic butterfly valve.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention preferably provides a compact rotary suction joint, which includes a mold body 1, a feeding spindle 2, an air inlet pipe 3, and a discharge pipe 4; the mold body 1 has a cavity 11 inside, a first opening at the front end of the cavity 11, a cover plate 16 for sealing the cavity 11 at the rear end, a second opening at the top of the cavity 11, and a third opening at the bottom of the cavity 11; the mold body 1 includes a butterfly valve 13, which is disposed in the cavity 11 to control the flow of materials. The feeding spindle 2 is located at the front end of the cavity 1 and is connected to the cavity 11 through the first opening. The feeding spindle 2 rotates around the cavity 11. The air inlet pipe 3 is located above the mold body 1 and is connected to the cavity 11 through the second opening. The air inlet pipe 3 injects positive pressure into the cavity 11. The discharge pipe 4 is located below the mold body 1 and is connected to the cavity 11 through the third opening. The discharge pipe 4 introduces negative pressure gas into the cavity 11 to suck out the material in the cavity 11.

[0026] Based on the above technical features, this utility model embodiment, through the setting of the mold body 1, which serves as the core of the rotary joint, has a cavity 11 inside for accommodating materials. The front end of the cavity 11 has a first opening connected to the feeding spindle 2; the rear end has a cover plate 16 for sealing the cavity 11 to prevent material leakage. The top and bottom of the cavity 11 have a second and a third opening, respectively, for connecting the air inlet pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 4, effectively reducing the space occupied by the rotary joint. Simultaneously, a butterfly valve 13 is located inside the cavity 11 to control the flow of materials. The butterfly valve 13 can be rotated to open or close the material channel, thereby achieving precise control of the material flow rate. The feeding spindle 2 is connected to the first opening at the front end of the cavity 11 of the mold body 1 and communicates with the inside of the cavity 11 through this opening. The main function of the feeding spindle 2 is to inject materials into the cavity 11. The feeding spindle 2 can move along the cavity... The circumferential rotation of cavity 11 allows the rotary joint to adapt to rotating or reciprocating equipment, enabling continuous material transfer. The air inlet pipe 3, positioned above the mold body 1 and connected to the interior of cavity 11 via a second opening, injects positive pressure gas into the cavity 11. This positive pressure airflow removes residual material from the inner wall of cavity 11, ensuring the cleanliness of the mold body 1 and smooth operation for future use. Simultaneously, the positive pressure gas maintains stable pressure within cavity 11, improving material transfer efficiency. The discharge pipe 4, positioned below the mold body 1 and connected to the interior of cavity 11 via a third opening, introduces negative pressure gas into cavity 11, generating suction to draw out material. This ensures that material is drawn into the mold evenly and quickly. The combination of discharge pipe 4 and air inlet pipe 3 improves material transport efficiency and reduces the operating cost of the rotary joint.

[0027] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the mold body 1 also includes a connecting part 12 and a first flange 14. One end of the connecting part 12 is connected to a butterfly valve 13, and the other end of the connecting part 12 is connected to a cover plate 16. The end of the butterfly valve 13 facing away from the connecting part 12 is connected to the first flange 14, and the end of the first flange 14 facing away from the butterfly valve 13 is connected to the feeding spindle 2. Through the arrangement of the connecting part 12 and the first flange 14, where the connecting part 12 is part of the mold body 1 and serves to connect other components, the butterfly valve 13 can be fixed or connected to other parts of the mold body 1 via the connecting part 12, and the other end of the connecting part 12 is connected to the cover plate 16, ensuring that the mold body 1 can be closed or opened when needed. The end of the first flange 14 facing away from the butterfly valve 13 is connected to the feeding spindle 2, ensuring that material can enter the mold body 1 or the area controlled by the butterfly valve 13 through the feeding spindle 2.

[0028] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cavity 11 includes a vacuum chamber 112, which has a third opening and is connected to the discharge pipe 4 through the third opening. Through the arrangement of the flow channel 111 and the vacuum chamber 112, the flow channel 111 allows material to flow or be transported within the cavity 11. The vacuum chamber 112 is a specific area within the cavity 11, typically evacuated or maintained at a low pressure to facilitate material extraction by the discharge pipe 4. The third opening is an opening or channel on the vacuum chamber 112 that allows material to flow out of or into the vacuum chamber 112.

[0029] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cavity 11 also includes a flow channel 111, which has a first opening and a second opening. The flow channel 111 is connected to the feed spindle 2 through the first opening and to the air inlet pipe 3 through the second opening. A butterfly valve 13 is located between the flow channel 111 and the vacuum chamber 112, and is used to control the connection between the flow channel 111 and the vacuum chamber 112. Both the first and second openings are located on the flow channel 111 and serve as channels connecting the flow channel 111 to the outside world or other components. The first opening, connected to the feed spindle 2, is the main inlet for material entering the flow channel 111. The second opening, connected to the air inlet pipe 3, is used to introduce high-pressure gas into the flow channel 111, allowing the high-pressure gas flow to drive the material in the flow channel 111 towards the vacuum chamber 112. This improves the material transport efficiency.

[0030] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the mold body 1 also includes a second flange 15, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the butterfly valve 13. One end of the second flange 15 is connected to the butterfly valve 13, and the other end is connected to the connecting part 12. With the addition of the second flange 15, the structure of the mold body 1 is more stable, and the installation and positioning of the butterfly valve 13 and the connecting part 12 are more precise. The second flange 15 also serves a sealing function, preventing leakage of materials or fluids between the butterfly valve 13 and the connecting part 12.

[0031] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the feeding spindle 2 includes a feeding pipe 21 and a rotating pipe 22. One end of the feeding pipe 21 is connected to the rotating pipe 22, and the other end of the feeding pipe 21 is connected to a material storage area. The other end of the rotating pipe 22 is connected to the cavity 11 through a first opening. The feeding pipe 21 is a static pipe used to transport materials from the material storage area to the rotating pipe 22. The rotating pipe 22 is a rotatable pipe connected to one end of the feeding pipe 21 and transports materials into the cavity 11. When materials need to be transported into the cavity 11, the materials in the material storage area are first transported into the feeding pipe 21, and then the rotating pipe 22 starts to rotate, transporting the materials from the feeding pipe 21 into the cavity 11.

[0032] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feed spindle 2 also includes a rotary bearing 23, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the rotating tube 22. The rotary bearing 23 drives the rotating tube 22 to rotate circumferentially along the first opening. Through the rotary bearing 23, the rotating tube 22 can achieve smooth and continuous rotational motion. This rotational motion allows the material to be uniformly transported from the material storage area to the cavity 11 through the feed tube 21. The design of the rotary bearing 23 ensures the stability and reliability of the rotating tube 22 during rotation.

[0033] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feed spindle 2 also includes a sealing gasket 24, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the rotating tube 22. One end of the sealing gasket 24 is connected to the rotating tube 22, and the other end is connected to the first flange 14. The sealing gasket 24, with one end tightly fitted to the outer periphery of the rotating tube 22 and the other end connected to the first flange 14, ensures a good seal at the connection between the rotating tube 22 and the first flange 14. By providing additional sealing, the sealing gasket 24 prevents material or gas from leaking out from the connection between the rotating tube 22 and the first flange 14, which is crucial for maintaining pressure and temperature within the cavity 11 or preventing material contamination.

[0034] As some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a plurality of fasteners 161 are provided on the side of the cover plate 16 opposite to the cavity 11. These fasteners 161 are spaced circumferentially along the cover plate 16, and the cover plate 16 is fixedly connected to the mold body 1 via these fasteners 161. This connection method ensures tight contact and a secure connection between the cover plate 16 and the mold body 1. The fasteners 161 may include bolts, nuts, screws, or other types of fixing devices, depending on the application requirements and the design of the mold body 1.

[0035] In summary, the present invention provides a compact rotary joint for material suction, which, compared with the prior art, has the following advantages: the mold body 1 serves as the core of the rotary joint, and the mold body 1 has an internal cavity 11 for accommodating materials. The front end of the cavity 11 has a first opening connected to the feeding spindle 2; the rear end has a cover plate 16 for sealing the cavity 11 to prevent material leakage.
