Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, and in particular to a bucket elevator for large particle materials. Background Technology
[0002] Bucket elevators are continuous conveying machines that use a series of buckets uniformly fixed to an endless traction component to vertically lift materials. Bucket elevators utilize a series of buckets fixed to a traction chain or belt to transport materials upwards in a vertical or near-vertical direction. When large particles such as fertilizer are being conveyed, dust is generated due to the dust they contain. As the material is continuously fed into the elevator through the inlet, dust is created by impact. Therefore, modern elevators are equipped with dust-prevention devices at the inlet to collect the generated dust.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202121855519.X discloses a plate chain bucket elevator, which includes an elevator body and a base. The body is mounted on the base, and a feed box is provided at the lower end of the body. The feed box has a feed channel communicating with the body. A first receiving box is provided below the feed box. A cavity is also provided on the base below the first receiving box. The bottom of the first receiving box has a hole communicating with the cavity. An exhaust fan is also provided outside the cavity and connected to it. A filter plate is provided in the feed channel, located directly above the first receiving box. This utility model uses an exhaust fan to provide power to draw dust and other impurities in the material into the first receiving box below. The material then passes through the feed channel into the elevator body for lifting, effectively avoiding dust generation and spillage.
[0004] While the aforementioned elevator can effectively prevent dust generation and overflow, the filter plates and screens will become clogged after prolonged use, affecting the dust handling efficiency. Subsequently, staff will need to disassemble the filter plates and screens and manually clean them, which is a cumbersome process and increases the workload of the staff. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a bucket elevator for large particle materials, which solves the problem that filter plates and filter screens need to be manually cleaned by staff after long-term use.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A bucket elevator for large granular materials includes an elevator body, a base fixed to the bottom of the elevator body, a feed box connected to one side of the elevator body, a feed channel connected to the feed box, and a suction shell fixedly connected through the feed channel; a fixed shell fixed to the base, a connecting cylinder rotatably connected to one side of the fixed shell, a filter cylinder detachably connected to the other side of the connecting cylinder, a cleaning brush in contact with the surface of the filter cylinder fixed inside the fixed shell; a connecting pipe connected to the fixed shell is connected to the suction shell, and a suction end of a blower is provided on one side of the base, penetrating the fixed shell and corresponding to the inside of the connecting cylinder.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] When materials enter the feeding box through the feeding channel and generate dust, the exhaust fan starts, causing the suction shell to draw the dust from the feeding channel. The dust is then discharged into the fixed shell through the connecting pipe. The filter cartridge filters the dust, blocking it, while air enters the connecting cylinder and is then discharged through the exhaust end of the exhaust fan. The connecting cylinder drives the filter cartridge to rotate continuously, allowing the cleaning brush to clean the dust adhering to the filter cartridge, causing the dust to fall off and completing the automatic cleaning of the dust on the filter cartridge. This utility model eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the dust adhering to the filter cartridge, enabling real-time automatic cleaning of the dust on the filter cartridge, preventing filter cartridge blockage, and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0015] The specific content of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a bucket elevator for large particle materials, including an elevator body 1, a base 2 fixed to the bottom of the elevator body 1, a feed box 3 connected to one side of the elevator body 1, a feed channel 31 connected to the feed box 3, and a suction shell 32 fixedly connected through the feed channel 31; a fixed shell 5 fixed on the base 2, a connecting cylinder 51 rotatably connected to one side of the fixed shell 5, a filter cylinder 52 detachably connected to the other side of the connecting cylinder 51, a cleaning brush 6 fixed inside the fixed shell 5 in contact with the surface of the filter cylinder 52; a connecting pipe 33 connected to the fixed shell 5 on the suction shell 32, and a blower 9 with a suction end penetrating the fixed shell 5 and corresponding to the inside of the connecting cylinder 51 on one side of the base 2. A water injection pipe (not shown in the figure) is connected to the fixed shell 5 for injecting water into the fixed shell 5, so that after the water enters the fixed shell 5, the water level is below the filter cylinder 52; when the material enters the feed box 3 through the feed channel 31 and generates dust, the exhaust fan 9 is started, and the dust is sucked into the suction shell 32 (the suction shell 32 includes a hollow shell with a set of short pipes connected to it), and the material in the feed box 3 is discharged into the elevator body 1; after the dust in the suction shell 32 enters the fixed shell 5 through the connecting pipe 33, the dust is blocked by the filter cylinder 52, and the air is... The dust passes through the filter holes on the filter cartridge 52 and enters the connecting cartridge 51, and is then discharged through the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 9 (the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 9 can also be connected to an external dust collector bag for further treatment of residual dust in the air); while the connecting cartridge 51 drives the filter cartridge 52 to rotate continuously, the cleaning brush 6 can clean the dust adhering to the filter cartridge 52, causing the dust to fall downward into the water in the fixed shell 5, preventing dust from filling the fixed shell 5, and can clean the dust on the filter cartridge 52 in a timely manner, preventing dust from clogging the filter holes on the filter cartridge 52.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two staggered guide plates 34 are fixed inside the feeding channel 31. A sponge pad 35 is fixed to the top surface of each guide plate 34, and the suction surface of the suction shell 32 corresponds to the guide plate 34. An inclined plate 4 is fixed inside the feeding box 3, tilting towards the connection between the feeding box 3 and the elevator body 1. A vibrator 41 with its vibrating end connected to the bottom of the inclined plate 4 is fixed inside the feeding box 3. When material enters the feeding channel 31, the guide plates 34 are tilted. When the material falls onto the sponge pad 35 on the guide plate 34, it can buffer the material, preventing it from directly impacting the inclined plate 4 and causing breakage. Furthermore, the dust generated after the material falls onto the sponge pad 35 can be effectively sucked in by the suction shell 32. There are two suction shells 32, located on the front and back of the feeding channel 31 respectively. Figure 1 (as shown in the diagram); when the material falls onto the inclined plate 4, the inclined plate 4 can discharge the material into the elevator body 1, and after the vibrator 41 is started, it can make the inclined plate 4 vibrate, so that the material on the inclined plate 4 can be better discharged into the elevator body 1.
[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, a filter plate 56 is fixed inside the connecting cylinder 51, and a connecting rod 58 connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell 5 is provided inside the filter cylinder 52. A cleaning brush 59 that contacts the filter plate 56 is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod 58. The filter plate 56 can further filter the dust in the airflow and block the dust; and as the filter plate 56 rotates with the connecting cylinder 51, the cleaning brush 59 can clean the dust adhering to the filter plate 56, ensuring that the filter holes on the filter plate 56 are unobstructed.
[0019] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a motor 53 is fixed inside the fixed housing 5. A drive gear 54 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the motor 53, and a driven gear 55 that meshes with the drive gear 54 is fixed on the connecting cylinder 51. After the motor 53 is started, the drive gear 54 can drive the connecting cylinder 51 to rotate through the driven gear 55, and the connecting cylinder 51 will drive the filter cylinder 52 to rotate.
[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the connecting cylinder 51 has an insertion hole on the side near the filter cylinder 52, and an insertion rod 57 is fixed on the filter cylinder 52 and inserted into the insertion hole. An annular groove 10 is formed on the side of the fixed housing 5 away from the connecting cylinder 51, and one end of the filter cylinder 52 is located within the annular groove 10. An electric telescopic rod 8 is fixed inside the fixed housing 5, and a fixed rod 81 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8. A connecting ring 82, which is rotatably connected to the filter cylinder 52, is fixed to the other end of the fixed rod 81. After the electric telescopic rod 8 is activated, the fixed rod 81 can move the filter cylinder 52 away from the connecting cylinder 51 through the connecting ring 82, causing the insertion rod 57 to move out of the insertion hole. Therefore, dust cleaned from the filter plate 56 and falling into the filter cylinder 52 can fall downwards through the gap between the filter cylinder 52 and the connecting cylinder 51, preventing dust accumulation inside the filter cylinder 52. The annular groove 10 allows the filter cylinder 52 to move laterally away from the connecting cylinder 51, and the connecting ring 82 prevents the fixed rod 81 from affecting the normal rotation of the filter cylinder 52.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a drain pipe 7 is fixed inside the fixed housing 5, located above the filter cylinder 52. A water supply pipe 71, which passes through the fixed housing 5, is connected to the drain pipe 7. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the fixed housing 5. The water supply pipe 71 is connected to an external water source. After the filter cylinder 52 has been used for a long time, water can enter the drain pipe 7 and be discharged through the drain hole at the bottom of the drain pipe 7. The water falls onto the filter cylinder 52, and then, with the help of the cleaning brush 6 (the cleaning brush 6 is T-shaped, and there are two cleaning brushes 6, which are symmetrically distributed front and back), the filter cylinder 52 is scrubbed to ensure the cleanliness of the outer wall of the filter cylinder 52. The water inside the fixed housing 5 can be discharged to a designated external wastewater collection device through the discharge pipe.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an exhaust pipe 61 located at the top of the cleaning brush 6 is fixed inside the fixed housing 5, and a fixed pipe 62 penetrating the fixed housing 5 is connected to the exhaust pipe 61. An external blower is connected to the exhaust pipe 61. After the filter cartridge 52 is cleaned, the external blower can blow air into the fixed pipe 62, and the air in the fixed pipe 62 is then discharged through the exhaust hole on the fixed pipe 62, quickly drying the filter cartridge 52 so that it can be quickly put into use.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
