Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco equipment technology, and in particular to feeding mechanisms and feeding devices. Background Technology

[0002] In tobacco production, conveyors are used to transport materials such as tobacco leaves and shredded tobacco, thereby enabling coordination between different production lines. Specifically, a conveyor mainly consists of a motor, a conveyor belt, and drive rollers. When the equipment is started, the motor transmits power to the drive rollers, which in turn drive the conveyor belt to move, thus transporting materials such as tobacco leaves and shredded tobacco from one location to another.

[0003] However, because the material on the conveyor is concentrated, it cannot be loosened in subsequent stages, failing to meet usage requirements. Related technologies address this by installing a vibrating conveyor at the conveyor's discharge end. This vibrating mechanism vibrates the concentrated material in subsequent stages, thus loosening it.

[0004] However, installing a vibrating conveyor on a conveyor will occupy a large amount of space, affecting the space utilization rate of the conveyor. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a material feeding mechanism and a material feeding device to solve the problem that setting up a vibrating conveyor on a conveyor will loosen the material, occupy a large space, and affect the space utilization rate of the conveyor.

[0007] A fixed component is located on the side of the conveyor that transmits materials and is connected to the frame; the fixed component is spaced apart from the conveyor.

[0008] A rotating component is connected to a fixed component and is spaced apart from the conveyor.

[0009] The feeding assembly includes a connector and a first feeding component. The extending direction of the connector intersects the extending direction of the first feeding component. The connector is connected to the power output end of the rotating assembly and the first feeding component.

The second material feeder is spaced apart from the first material feeder, and the second material feeder is spaced apart from the rotation center line of the power output end of the rotating assembly.

[0013] The distance between the contact point of the second feeding component and the connecting component and the power output end of the rotating assembly is less than the distance between the contact point of the first feeding component and the connecting component and the power output end of the rotating assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first feeding member includes a plurality of first sub-feeding members, which are spaced apart along the extending direction of the connector.

[0015] The second feeding component includes multiple second sub-feeding components, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the connector.

[0016] In some embodiments, the circumferential sidewall of the first sub-feeding member is provided with a plurality of first protrusions, and the plurality of first protrusions are spaced apart;

[0017] The circumferential sidewall of the second feed piece is provided with multiple second protrusions, which are spaced apart from each other.

[0019] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly includes:

[0020] The housing is connected to the fixing assembly;

[0021] The rotating component has its power output end connected to the connecting component.

[0022] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a fixing frame and a fixing member, the fixing frame being connected to the frame and the fixing member, and the fixing member having a through hole that penetrates the fixing member along the direction of gravity of the frame;

[0023] The housing is located on the side of the fixing member facing away from the gravity direction of the frame, and the material feeding assembly is located on the side of the fixing member facing towards the gravity direction of the frame.

[0024] The housing is connected to the fixed part, and the power output end of the rotating part passes through the through hole and is connected to the connecting part.

[0025] In some embodiments, the fixing frame includes a first sub-fixing frame and a second sub-fixing frame, the first sub-fixing frame being disposed on one side of the fixing member along the second direction, and the second sub-fixing frame being disposed on the other side of the fixing member along the second direction;

[0026] The first sub-fixed frame is connected to one side of the frame along the second direction and the fixing member along the second direction; the second sub-fixed frame is connected to the other side of the frame along the second direction and the other side of the fixing member along the second direction.

[0027] The second direction intersects with both the first direction and the gravity direction of the frame.

[0028] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes:

[0029] A coupling is a device in which one end is connected to the power output end of a rotating component, and the other end is connected to a connecting component.

[0030] A material feeding device includes a conveyor and a material feeding mechanism, the material feeding mechanism being connected to the conveyor.

[0031] The aforementioned material-shifting mechanism is used to actuate materials on a conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame and a conveying component, which is mounted on the frame and used to transport materials along a first direction. The material-shifting mechanism includes a fixed component, a rotating component, and a material-shifting component. The fixed component is located on the side of the conveying component that transports materials and is connected to the frame; the fixed component and the conveying component are spaced apart.

[0032] The material feeding mechanism of this application has a fixed component located on the side of the conveyor that transmits materials, connected to the frame, and a rotating component connected to the fixed component, spaced apart from the conveyor. Since the extending direction of the connecting component intersects with the extending direction of the first feeding component, and the connecting component connects to the power output end of the rotating component and the first feeding component, the rotation of the power output end of the rotating component can drive the connecting component and the first feeding component to rotate synchronously with the power output end of the rotating component. Furthermore, since the rotation center lines of the first feeding component and the power output end of the rotating component are spaced apart, the rotational movement of the first feeding component can achieve material loosening. It is understood that this application only needs to drive the rotation of the connecting component and the first feeding component through the rotating component to achieve material loosening. The material feeding mechanism has a simple structure and can loosen materials without occupying a large space on the conveyor, thus improving the space utilization rate of the conveyor.

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0045] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0046] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0048] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. An embodiment of this application provides a material-feeding mechanism 1 for actuating materials on a conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 includes a frame 21 and a conveyor 22. The conveyor 22 is mounted on the frame 21 and is used to transport materials along a first direction. The material-feeding mechanism 1 includes a fixing component 11, a rotating component 12, and a material-feeding component 13. The fixing component 11 is located on the side of the conveyor 22 that transmits materials and is connected to the frame 21; the fixing component 11 and the conveyor 22 are spaced apart. The rotating component 12 is connected to the fixing component 11 and spaced apart from the conveyor 2. The material-feeding component 13 includes a connecting component 131 and a first material-feeding component 132. The extending direction of the connecting component 131 intersects the extending direction of the first material-feeding component 132. The connecting component 131 is connected to the power output end of the rotating component 12 and the first material-feeding component 132. The first material-feeding component 132 is spaced apart from the rotation center line of the power output end of the rotating component 12.

[0049] It should be noted that the first direction is Figure 3 The X direction in the text. It should also be further noted that the materials in this application can be tobacco, tobacco leaves, or shredded tobacco, etc., and no specific type of material is limited here.

[0050] The fixed component 11 is located on the side of the conveyor 22 that transmits materials and is connected to the frame 21; the fixed component 11 and the conveyor 22 are spaced apart. The rotating component 12 is connected to the fixed component 11 and is spaced apart from the conveyor 2, meaning that there is a transmission space between the fixed component 11 and the rotating component 12 and the conveyor 22 of the conveyor 2. This transmission space facilitates the transmission of materials, thereby avoiding the influence of the fixed component 11 and the rotating component 12 on the material transmission process and ensuring the smooth transmission of materials on the conveyor 22.

[0051] Specifically, since the feeding assembly 13 includes a connector 131 and a first feeding component 132, the extending direction of the connector 131 intersects the extending direction of the first feeding component 132. The connector 131 is connected to the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 and the first feeding component 132, so that the connecting component 131 and the first feeding component 132 can be driven to rotate synchronously with the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 by rotating the power output end of the rotating assembly 12. It is understandable that, since the extension direction of the connector 131 intersects with the extension direction of the first feeding component 132, and the connector 131 is connected to the power output shaft of the rotating assembly 12, it can be ensured that the rotation path of the first feeding component 132 is necessarily different from the path of the material conveyed by the conveyor 22. At the same time, since the rotation center line of the first feeding component 132 and the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 are spaced apart, the rotational motion of the first feeding component can agitate the path of the material conveyed by the conveyor 22, which can disperse the clumps of material on the conveying path. Finally, the rotational motion of the first feeding component 132 can be used to loosen the material.

[0052] Furthermore, during the process of loosening the material by the feeding mechanism 1, the material can be loosened simply by driving the connecting part 131 and the first feeding part 132 to rotate through the rotating component 12. The feeding mechanism 1 has a simple structure and can loosen the material without occupying a large space on the conveyor 2, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the conveyor 2.

[0053] Furthermore, it is understood that this application does not require the installation of complex devices to achieve the loosening of materials. On the one hand, it can save the cost of designing and producing complex devices. On the other hand, it can avoid complex devices (such as vibrating conveying mechanisms in related technologies) occupying a large space on the conveyor 2, thereby reducing the material transportation cost of the conveyor 2. Thus, a simple material feeding mechanism 1 can be designed within limited space and cost to achieve the loosening of materials.

[0054] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 13 further includes a second feeding member 133. The extending direction of the second feeding member 133 intersects the extending direction of the connecting member 131. The second feeding member 133 is spaced apart from the first feeding member 132, and is also spaced apart from the rotation center line of the power output end of the rotating assembly 12. The distance between the contact point of the second feeding member 133 and the connecting member 131 and the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 is less than the distance between the contact point of the first feeding member 132 and the connecting member 131 and the power output end of the rotating assembly 12.

[0055] Thus, since the extension direction of the second feeding component 133 intersects with the extension direction of the connecting component 131, the second feeding component 133 and the first feeding component 132 are spaced apart, and the second feeding component 133 and the rotation center line of the power output end of the rotating component 12 are spaced apart, on the one hand, the rotational movement of the second feeding component 133 can improve the stirring of the material during the transmission process, thereby improving the material dispersing effect of the feeding mechanism 1. On the other hand, since the distance between the contact point of the second material feeding component 133 and the connecting component 131 and the power output end of the rotating component 12 is smaller than the distance between the contact point of the first material feeding component 132 and the connecting component 131 and the power output end of the rotating component 12, that is, during the process of the second material feeding component 133 stirring and loosening the material, the path of the second material feeding component 133 stirring and loosening the material is different from the path of the first material feeding component 132 stirring and loosening the material. Therefore, the material in different areas of the conveyor 2 can be loosened by the first material feeding component 132 and the second material feeding component 133, thereby further improving the material loosening effect of the feeding mechanism 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first feeding member 132 includes a plurality of first sub-feeding members, which are spaced apart along the extending direction of the connector 131. The second feeding member 133 includes a plurality of second sub-feeding members, which are spaced apart along the extending direction of the connector 131.

[0057] Thus, since multiple first sub-pushers are spaced apart along the extension direction of connector 131, and multiple second sub-pushers are spaced apart along the extension direction of connector 131, the materials in different areas of conveyor 2 can be loosened by multiple first sub-pushers and multiple second sub-pushers, thereby further improving the material loosening effect of the pusher mechanism 1.

[0058] In some embodiments, the circumferential sidewall of the first sub-feeder has a plurality of first protrusions, which are spaced apart. The circumferential sidewall of the second sub-feeder has a plurality of second protrusions, which are spaced apart.

[0059] Thus, because the circumferential sidewall of the first sub-feeder has multiple first protrusions spaced apart, the material can be loosened in other directions along the rotation trajectory of the first sub-feeder through these protrusions, thereby further improving the material loosening effect. Similarly, because the circumferential sidewall of the second sub-feeder has multiple second protrusions spaced apart, the material can be loosened in other directions along the rotation trajectory of the second sub-feeder through these second protrusions, thereby further improving the material loosening effect.

[0060] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the first feeder 132 intersects with the first direction.

[0061] Thus, since the extension direction of the first feeder 132 intersects with the first direction, the surface area and region of contact between the first feeder 132 and the material during the stirring process can be further increased, thereby further improving the loosening effect on the material.

[0062] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 12 includes a housing and a rotating member. The housing is connected to the fixed assembly 11. The rotating member has its power output end connected to the connecting member 131.

[0063] In this way, the rotating parts in the rotating assembly 12 can be protected by the housing, which can prevent the material from getting stuck in the rotating parts during the loosening and conveying of materials, thus avoiding affecting the normal operation of the rotating assembly 12. This can ensure the stable operation of the rotating assembly 12 and improve the stability and reliability of material loosening.

[0064] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 11 includes a fixing frame 111 and a fixing member 112. The fixing frame 111 is connected to the frame 21 and the fixing member 112. The fixing member 112 has a through hole that extends through the fixing member 112 along the gravity direction of the frame 21. A housing is disposed on the side of the fixing member 112 opposite to the gravity direction of the frame 21, and a feeding assembly 13 is disposed on the side of the fixing member 112 facing the gravity direction of the frame 21. The housing is connected to the fixing member 112, and the power output end of the rotating member passes through the through hole and is connected to the connecting member 131.

[0065] In this way, by connecting the fixing frame 111 and the fixing member 112, the rotating component 12 and the feeding component 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the fixing member 112 along the direction of gravity. This can avoid interference between the rotation process of the rotating component 12 and the loosening process of the feeding component 13, thereby ensuring the normal and stable operation of the components in different parts, and thus improving the overall stability and reliability of the feeding mechanism 1.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 111 includes a first sub-mounting bracket 1111 and a second sub-mounting bracket 1112. The first sub-mounting bracket 1111 is disposed on one side of the fixing member 112 along the second direction, and the second sub-mounting bracket 1112 is disposed on the other side of the fixing member 112 along the second direction. The first sub-mounting bracket 1111 is connected to one side of the frame 21 along the second direction and one side of the fixing member 112 along the second direction; the second sub-mounting bracket 1112 is connected to the other side of the frame 21 along the second direction and the other side of the fixing member 112 along the second direction. The second direction intersects both the first direction and the gravity direction of the frame 21.

[0067] It should be noted that the second direction is Figure 3 in the Y direction.

[0068] Thus, the fixing member 112 and the rotating assembly 12 can be fixed by the first sub-fixing frame 1111 and the second sub-fixing frame 1112 located in different directions of the fixing member 112, thereby improving the stability of the fixing of the rotating assembly 12 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating assembly 12 during rotation.

[0069] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 1 further includes a coupling 14. One end of the coupling 14 is connected to the power output end of the rotating member, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 131.

[0070] Thus, since one end of the coupling 14 is connected to the power output end of the rotating component and the other end is connected to the connecting component 131, the driving force provided by the power output end of the rotating component can be stably transmitted to the connecting component 131 through the coupling 14, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the rotating component driving the connecting component 131 to rotate, and ensuring the stable operation of the feeding mechanism 1.

[0071] A feeding device 3, see reference Figure 3 As shown, the feeding device 3 includes a conveyor 2 and a feeding mechanism 1, with the feeding mechanism 1 connected to the conveyor 2.

[0072] Thus, the rotation of the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 can drive the connecting piece 131 and the first feeding piece 132 to rotate synchronously with the power output end of the rotating assembly 12. At the same time, since the rotation center lines of the first feeding piece 132 and the power output end of the rotating assembly 12 are spaced apart, the rotational movement of the first feeding piece 132 can achieve the loosening of materials.

[0073] Furthermore, this application only needs to drive the rotation of the connecting member 131 and the first feeding member 132 through the rotating component 12 to loosen the material. The feeding mechanism 1 has a simple structure and can loosen the material without occupying a large space on the conveyor 2, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the conveyor 2.

[0074] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0075] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
