Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of star-shaped unloaders, specifically to a pneumatic conveying unloader with an exhaust port. Background Technology
[0002] Pneumatic conveying unloaders are key equipment in material conveying systems, used to accurately and efficiently unload materials transported pneumatically from closed pipelines or conveyor lines to designated locations. They typically consist of an unloading valve and a control system. In operation, when the airflow carrying material reaches the unloader, the internal air pressure changes, causing the unloading valve to open. The material is discharged under the force of gravity and the thrust of the remaining airflow, while the airflow exits the system through the exhaust port. They feature good sealing performance, fast unloading speed, and precise control of material flow rate and direction. They can adapt to the conveying and unloading needs of various powdery and granular materials, playing a vital role in pneumatic conveying processes in numerous industries such as chemical, building materials, and food, effectively ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.
[0003] CN220617545U discloses a negative pressure pneumatic conveying star-shaped unloader, including a housing. A sealing ring is provided on the side wall of the housing, and a sealing bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing ring. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing bearing, and a limit ring is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating plate. This invention, through the design of an arc-shaped rod, scraper, connecting plate, and handle, facilitates the scraping of material residue on the side walls of the blades, preventing material residue from causing blockages and increasing the weight of the blades, thus increasing the load on the motor and potentially causing further problems. This can cause the motor to overheat and trip, affecting the continuity of material conveying. The design of sealing rings, through slots, limit slots, rotating columns, and limit rods facilitates the removal of the impeller and blades from the star-shaped unloader, avoiding the need to disassemble the entire unloader for repair when the blades and impeller are damaged. However, this technology does not have a corresponding exhaust port. The material is conveyed under the action of airflow with a certain pressure. When the material reaches the unloader, there is a certain air pressure inside. If the airflow is not discharged in time, the material may not be able to be discharged smoothly or may cause blockage due to excessive pressure difference between the inside and outside. Therefore, this technology still has room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pneumatic conveying and unloading device with an exhaust port, comprising a housing and a rotating shaft movably passing through the middle of the housing, with impellers arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The device is characterized in that: an inlet is provided at the upper end of the housing, and an outlet is located at the end of the housing furthest from the inlet; a material trough for rotating and transporting materials is formed between the impellers; several fixed plates are provided around the outer periphery of the housing; each fixed plate is provided with an exhaust pipe; the exhaust pipe is obliquely positioned above the fixed plate; an exhaust channel is provided at the center of the exhaust pipe; and the exhaust channel communicates with the material trough.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the L-shaped mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the axial mounting plate through the vertical surface, and the inclined reinforcing plate at the bottom of the horizontal surface enhances the stability of the overall structure, so that the drive structure can be more stably supported between the flanges. The geared motor is installed in the motor mounting bracket at the upper end of the L-shaped mounting bracket and is synchronously connected to the rotating shaft to provide stable power to the rotating shaft.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, synchronous belt drive can ensure that the rotating shaft and the geared motor achieve precise synchronous rotation, enabling power transmission. At the same time, the synchronous belt connection has good flexibility and buffering effect, which can reduce vibration and noise during equipment operation and protect the equipment from excessive impact.
[0013] The aforementioned pneumatic conveying unloader with exhaust port can be further configured such that: the motor mounting bracket includes a motor base and a fixed seat disposed on the motor base; the fixed seat is provided with a plurality of obliquely arranged fixed feet; and a vertical fixed foot is provided between the fixed feet; the oblique fixed feet and the vertical fixed feet form a triangular fixing.

With the fixed plate 7 and the exhaust pipe 8 installed on the fixed plate 7 on the outer periphery of the shell 1, during the rotation and transportation of materials, since the exhaust channel 9 is connected to the material trough 6, when the rotating shaft 2 drives the impeller 3 to rotate, the airflow is rotated upward and discharged through the exhaust channel 9. The obliquely set exhaust pipe 8 facilitates the discharge of airflow from bottom to top, avoids the accumulation of internal air and the resulting air pressure imbalance, allows the material to be discharged smoothly, prevents air blockage and backflow, and ensures unidirectional flow and stable unloading of materials. The fixed plate 7 is provided with flanges 10 on both sides of the shell 1, and the fixed plate 7 is fixed to the shell 1 through the flanges 10. The shaft 2 is connected to the flange 10.

The shaft 2 passes through the flanges, ensuring its stability and reducing vibration and offset. The drive structure provides a stable power source for the shaft 2, ensuring stable unloading of the unloader. The drive structure includes an axial mounting plate 11 positioned between the flanges 10. An L-shaped mounting bracket 12 is provided at the end of the axial mounting plate 11.
