Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sponge titanium lumps production equipment, specifically a material discharge conveying device for sponge titanium lumps production. Background Technology
[0002] Sponge titanium lumps refer to sponge-like metallic titanium obtained by reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium or sodium. The production process of sponge titanium lumps is relatively complex. First, titanium tetrachloride is produced by chlorination, then the metal is reduced, and finally distilled.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN220131165U, which discloses a discharge conveying device for the production of sponge titanium lumps. The device uses a fourth gear rotating in the opposite direction to drive a scraper to rotate in the opposite direction. The scraper's reverse rotation cleans the sponge titanium lumps that reach the bottom of the strong magnetic conveyor belt. The reverse rotation of the fourth gear also drives the connecting rod to move. This device can effectively clean sponge titanium lumps containing iron impurities and the residue left on the strong magnetic conveyor belt without the need for manual labor. This not only saves costs but also improves the efficiency of the device.
[0004] However, in existing technologies, the titanium sponge is relatively brittle, and the existing equipment causes the titanium sponge to fall directly onto the conveyor belt. Due to the impact force generated by the drop, the titanium sponge is prone to developing micro-cracks inside. In order to solve the problem that the impact force generated by the drop easily causes micro-cracks inside the titanium sponge, affecting the appearance and quality of the product, this application proposes to install a buffer component at the feed end of the conveyor belt to buffer the falling titanium sponge and prevent it from directly contacting the conveyor belt and causing damage, thereby ensuring the appearance and quality of the product. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] The aforementioned background technology addresses the shortcomings and defects in existing technologies, such as the impact force caused by the drop, which makes the titanium block prone to micro-cracks, affecting the product's appearance and quality.
[0006] The present invention discloses a material conveying device for the production of sponge titanium lumps, comprising a base, a conveyor belt mounted on the base, a buffer plate disposed above the conveyor belt, a rack disposed between the buffer plate and the base, the rack being slidably disposed on the base via a mounting plate, an adjusting component disposed between one side of the rack and the base, and a buffer component disposed between the upper end of the rack and the buffer plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a connecting plate mounted on the buffer plate, and a spring damping rod is provided between the connecting plate and the rack.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a first spur gear, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate via a sleeve. The first spur gear meshes with the rack for transmission. A drive rod is slidably disposed on the sleeve, and the drive rod is rotatably mounted on the base.
[0009] Furthermore, a second spur gear is installed at one end of the drive rod, and a retaining plate is provided on one side of the second spur gear. The retaining plate is installed on the base and is inserted into the second spur gear.
[0010] Furthermore, a pad is provided at the end of the sleeve away from the clamping plate. The pad is slidably mounted on the drive rod. A fixing ring is provided on the side of the pad away from the sleeve. The fixing ring is mounted on the drive rod. A return spring is provided between the pad and the fixing ring.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided on the mounting plate, the limiting plate is located on one side of the first spur gear, and the limiting plate is slidably disposed with the rack.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper end of the rack is configured as a "C" shape, and the rack is slidably disposed with the connecting plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model, by incorporating components such as a buffer plate, spring damping rod, and rack, allows the sponge titanium lumps to be caught by the buffer plate as they exit from a production process during operation. The spring damping rod, connecting plate, and rack work together to ensure that when the sponge titanium lumps impact the buffer plate, the buffer plate, through the connecting plate, acts on the spring damping rod, generating a spring force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impact force. This slows the falling speed of the sponge titanium lumps, which then fall along the inclined surface of the buffer plate onto the conveyor belt. Upon impact, the sponge titanium lumps directly contact the conveyor belt, preventing damage and thus ensuring the product's appearance and quality.
[0015] 2. This utility model is equipped with a drive rod, rack, first spur gear, clamping plate, and second spur gear. During operation, the drive rod, rack, and first spur gear work together to adjust the rotation of the drive rod, thereby driving the rack to move and adjusting the height of the buffer plate. The second spur gear and clamping plate work together to fix the angle of the drive rod and prevent it from rotating automatically. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The present invention relates to a material conveying device for the production of sponge titanium lumps, comprising a base 1, a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the base 1, a buffer plate 3 above the conveyor belt 2, a rubber pad on the upper surface of the buffer plate 3, a rack 6 between the buffer plate 3 and the base 1, the rack 6 being slidably mounted on the base 1 via a mounting plate 4, an adjusting component between one side of the rack 6 and the base 1, and a buffer component between the upper end of the rack 6 and the buffer plate 3.
[0024] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the buffer assembly includes a connecting plate 9, which is mounted on the buffer plate 3. A spring damping rod 10 is provided between the connecting plate 9 and the rack 6. When the sponge titanium block falls on the buffer plate 3, the buffer plate 3 impacts the spring damping rod 10 through the connecting plate 9. The spring will generate an elastic force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the impact force, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the sponge titanium block.
[0025] See Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a spur gear 7, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 4 via a sleeve 8. The spur gear 7 meshes with the rack 6 for transmission. A drive rod 5 is slidably mounted on the sleeve 8 and is rotatably mounted on the base 1. Adjusting the drive rod 5 causes the sleeve 8 to rotate, which in turn causes the spur gear 7 to rotate. The spur gear 7 then drives the rack 6 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the rack 6.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a second spur gear 11 is installed at one end of the drive rod 5. A clamping plate 12 is provided on one side of the second spur gear 11. The clamping plate 12 is installed on the base 1 and is inserted into the second spur gear 11. When the clamping plate 12 is connected to the second spur gear 11, the angle of the drive rod 5 is restricted. When the clamping plate 12 is separated from the second spur gear 11, the restriction on the drive rod 5 is released.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a pad 13 is provided at the end of the sleeve 8 away from the clamping plate 12. The pad 13 is slidably mounted on the drive rod 5. A fixing ring 15 is provided on the side of the pad 13 away from the sleeve 8. The fixing ring 15 is mounted on the drive rod 5. A return spring 14 is provided between the pad 13 and the fixing ring 15.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a limiting plate 16 is provided on the mounting plate 4. The limiting plate 16 is located on one side of the spur gear 7. The limiting plate 16 is slidably connected with the rack 6. While the rack 6 moves, the limiting plate 16 restricts its movement direction and position, thereby improving the connection stability between the rack 6 and the spur gear 7.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper end of the rack 6 is set in a "C" shape, and the rack 6 is slidably disposed with the connecting plate 9.
[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: When the sponge titanium lumps are discharged from the production process, they fall onto the buffer plate 3. The buffer plate 3 applies force to the spring damping rod 10 through the connecting plate 9, thereby buffering the descent of the sponge titanium lumps. Then, the sponge titanium lumps slide down the buffer plate 3 onto the conveyor belt 2 and are sent to the next process through the conveyor belt 2.
[0031] When the height of the buffer plate 3 needs to be adjusted, the operator pulls the drive rod 5 to move it to one end. As the drive rod 5 moves, it drives the return spring 14 through the fixed ring 15 to compress it, and drives the second flat gear 11 to move accordingly, so that the second flat gear 11 separates from the clamping plate 12, releasing the angle restriction on the drive rod 5. Then, the operator controls the drive rod 5 to rotate. The drive rod 5 drives the first flat gear 7 to rotate through the sleeve 8. The first flat gear 7 drives the rack 6 to move. The rack 6 drives the connecting plate 9 to move through the spring damping rod 10. The connecting plate 9 drives the buffer plate 3 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the buffer plate 3. After adjusting to the preset position, the operator controls the drive rod 5 to move in the direction, so that the clamping plate 12 and the second flat gear 11 are inserted.
[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
