Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sample collection equipment for power plants, ports, etc., specifically a primary weighing hopper with a sealed discharge port. Background Technology
[0002] Background: The truck sampling machine is mainly used for sampling coal from truck beds, and its main type is a bridge structure. The main body of the equipment includes: large and small overhead cranes, hydraulic (electric) drive system, long spiral full-section sampling head, primary feeder, crusher, secondary feeding and reducing integrated machine, collector (or packaging machine) and control system; supporting auxiliary facilities include: ranging and positioning system, vehicle identification system, unattended operation system, large water bypass, monitoring lighting, etc.
[0003] Vehicle sampling machines are generally set up outdoors, with supporting steel structures and rainproof canopies. In cold northern regions, operation rooms and sample preparation rooms (fixed buildings) need to be built, while in southern regions, steel structure prefabricated steel panel houses are built.
[0004] When the operator operates the large and small overhead cranes and long spiral full-section sampling heads to sample coal in the control room, if the moisture content of the coal sample is normal, the coal sample is sent to the primary weighing hopper and then completes the normal sampling process; if the moisture content of the coal sample is high, the coal sample is sent to the high moisture bypass collection bucket.
[0005] When the coal sample enters the primary weighing hopper, a clearance exists between the hopper door at the bottom and the side wall. This clearance allows coal to spill out through the bottom gap, potentially landing on the ground or other equipment, causing environmental pollution and equipment damage. It also complicates subsequent cleaning, increases labor, reduces equipment efficiency and appearance, and makes it easier for coal to fall into receiving devices below, thus affecting the accuracy of the primary weighing.
