Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramsite granulation technology, specifically to a ceramsite granulation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Expanded clay aggregate, as the name suggests, is ceramic-like granules. Most expanded clay aggregates are round or oval spheres, but some imitation crushed stone expanded clay aggregates are not round or oval spheres, but rather irregularly shaped like crushed stone. Expanded clay aggregate possesses many excellent physical properties, such as good thermal insulation, excellent frost resistance, and excellent earthquake resistance, and is therefore widely used in many industries.

[0003] Currently, after the expanded clay aggregate is formed by the mold, it still needs to go through the screening and dehumidification processes. The screening of the formed expanded clay aggregate is carried out at the same time as dehumidification. Dehumidification is usually done by manually adding fly ash powder into the screening drum to control the humidity of the expanded clay aggregate. However, the labor cost of continuously adding fly ash powder into the drum is high. There is an urgent need to design an expanded clay aggregate granulation mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic granulation mechanism to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A ceramsite granulation mechanism includes a drum with two fixed rings rotatably fitted around its circumference. A drive assembly is provided between the drum and one of the fixed rings. A screening cylinder is installed inside the drum, with a feed hopper at one end and two baffles rotatably fitted at the other end. A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided between the screening cylinder and the baffles. The screening cylinder includes a dehumidification section and a screening section. Multiple ash-collecting plates, corresponding to the dehumidification section, are installed on the inner wall of the drum. The ash-collecting plates are L-shaped and arranged in a circumferential array. A receiving frame is installed on one side of the other fixed ring, located below the other end of the screening cylinder. Two support legs are installed at the bottom of the fixed ring.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting blocks are installed at one end of the roller and one end of the screening cylinder, and a separating ring is sleeved on the periphery of the screening cylinder. The separating ring is used to separate the dehumidification section and the screening section. A plurality of large sieve holes are arranged in a circumferential array on the periphery of the screening section, and a plurality of small sieve holes are arranged in a circumferential array on the periphery of the dehumidification section.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor mounted at the bottom of one of the fixed rings, a gear mounted at the output end of the motor, and a gear ring sleeved on the circumference of the roller, wherein the gear meshes with the gear ring.

[0009] Furthermore, two connecting rods are installed on one side of one of the fixed rings, and the two ends of the two connecting rods are respectively fixedly connected to the two opposite outer sides of the feed hopper.

[0010] Furthermore, a collection box is slidably fitted inside the receiving frame, a handle is installed on one side of the collection box, and an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the roller is provided on the top of the receiving frame.

[0011] Furthermore, two fixing blocks are installed at one end of the screening cylinder. The two fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged, and a fixing rod is installed between the two fixing blocks. The opposite ends of the two baffles are rotatably engaged with the circumference of the fixing rod. The two baffles are semi-circular and symmetrically distributed.

[0012] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes a rotating plate rotatably fitted on one side of the baffle, a slot formed at one end of the rotating plate, and a locking rod installed at one end of the screening cylinder, wherein the slot and the locking rod engage in a snap-fit ​​relationship.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the ceramsite granulation mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The ash-collecting plates allow coal ash powder to be added to the drum, and multiple ash-collecting plates continuously carry the coal ash powder into the dehumidification section. This dehumidifies the ceramsite in the dehumidification section, controls the humidity of the ceramsite, and reduces the need for manual addition of coal ash powder. The coal ash powder can be circulated for dehumidification. The dehumidification section and screening section allow the ceramsite to enter the screening drum for dehumidification and screening. The coal ash powder passes through the dehumidification section to dehumidify the ceramsite, and then the ceramsite enters the screening section for screening. This facilitates the gradual process of dehumidification and screening. The baffles prevent the ceramsite from being discharged from the screening drum, allowing the screening section to fully screen the ceramsite. The screened ceramsite is discharged through the drum to the receiving frame. Opening the baffles allows the screened ceramsite to be discharged from the screening drum, facilitating the separation and discharge of the screened ceramsite. Attached Figure Description

Multiple ash-collecting plates 10 corresponding to the dehumidification section 8 are installed on the inner wall of the drum 1. The ash-collecting plates 10 are L-shaped and arranged in a circumferential array. A receiving frame 11 is installed on one side of the other fixed ring 2. The receiving frame 11 is located below the other end of the screening cylinder 4. Two support legs 12 are installed at the bottom of the fixed ring 2.

[0024] Reference Figure 2In this embodiment, multiple connecting blocks 13 are installed at one end of the drum 1 and one end of the screening cylinder 4. A separating ring 14 is sleeved around the periphery of the screening cylinder 4. The separating ring 14 is used to separate the dehumidification section 8 and the screening section 9. The screening section 9 has multiple large sieve holes 15 arranged in a circular array around its periphery, and the dehumidification section 8 has multiple small sieve holes 16 arranged in a circular array around its periphery. The connecting blocks 13 connect the drum 1 and the screening cylinder 4, so that the rotation of the drum 1 can drive the screening cylinder 4 to rotate. There are gaps between the multiple connecting blocks 13, through which coal ash powder can be added into the drum 1. The separating ring 14 can screen the dehumidification section 8 and the screening section 9, so that the coal ash powder is retained inside the drum 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes a motor 17 mounted at the bottom of one of the fixed rings 2, a gear 18 mounted at the output end of the motor 17, and a gear ring 19 sleeved around the circumference of the drum 1. The gear 18 and the gear ring 19 mesh with each other. By using the motor 17, the motor 17 can be started to drive the gear 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 19, which in turn drives the drum 1 to rotate. The drum 1 then drives the screening drum 4 to perform screening and dehumidification.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, one of the fixing rings 2 has two connecting rods 27 installed on one side, and the two ends of the two connecting rods 27 are fixedly connected to the opposite outer sides of the feed hopper 5. Through the connecting rods 27, the feed hopper 5 can be suspended at one end of the screening cylinder 4, so that the ceramsite formed by the mold can enter the screening cylinder 4 through the feed hopper 5.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, a collection box 20 is slidably fitted inside the receiving frame 11. A handle 21 is installed on one side of the collection box 20, and an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the roller 1 is provided on the top of the receiving frame 11. The collection box 20 can collect the ceramsite discharged into the receiving frame 11. Pulling the handle 21 can move the collection box 20 out of the receiving frame 11, and a new collection box 20 can be placed into the receiving frame 11.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, two fixing blocks 22 are installed at one end of the screening cylinder 4. The two fixing blocks 22 are symmetrically arranged, and a fixing rod 23 is installed between the two fixing blocks 22. The opposite ends of the two baffles 6 are rotatably engaged with the periphery of the fixing rod 23. The two baffles 6 are semi-circular and symmetrically distributed. Through the fixing rod 23, the baffles 6 can rotate along the center part of one end of the screening cylinder 4, so that the baffles 6 can open for discharge without affecting the rotation of the screening cylinder 4, and can discharge normally when the screening cylinder 4 is rotating.

Removing the rotating plate 24 releases the fixation of the baffle 6.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first start the drive assembly 3 to drive the drum 1 to rotate. The rotation of the drum 1 will drive the screening drum 4 to rotate. Then, add the coal ash powder into the drum 1. The ceramsite formed by the mold enters the screening drum 4 through the feed hopper 5. The screening drum 4 will drive the ceramsite to rotate. At this time, the ash plate 10 will drive the coal ash powder to be sprinkled into the dehumidification section 8 to control the humidity of the ceramsite in the dehumidification section 8. The coal ash powder will pass through the dehumidification section 8 and return to the drum 1 for repeated use. After passing through the dehumidification section 8, the ceramsite enters the screening section 9 for screening. The ceramsite screened out by the screening section 9 will enter the drum 1 and be discharged into the receiving frame 11. At this time, the baffle 6 will block the discharge of the ceramsite in the screening drum 4. After screening is completed, clean the ceramsite in the receiving frame 11, and then adjust the buckle assembly 7 to release the fixation of the baffle 6, open the baffle 6 to discharge the ceramsite in the screening drum 4, and let the screened ceramsite be discharged into the receiving frame 11.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
