Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color masterbatch production technology, and in particular to a lifting hopper structure for color masterbatch production. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of producing color masterbatch, it is necessary to lift the production material through a lifting hopper. However, in the traditional lifting hopper used for color masterbatch production, the material is stored in the hopper for too long, causing the material to solidify and making it difficult to discharge. At the same time, after the material reaches the required position, the traditional lifting hopper used for color masterbatch production still requires manual operation to pour the material out, which increases the labor intensity of the user.
[0003] Authorization announcement number CN 217024505 U discloses a lifting hopper structure for the production of color masterbatch. The stirring mechanism can not only stir the material to prevent solidification, but also avoid the use of multi-rod stirring rods that would cause a large amount of material to stick together. This solves the problem that the material solidifies and is difficult to discharge due to the material being stored in the hopper for too long.
[0004] The above solution still has some drawbacks. The hopper is lifted on one side by telescopic sleeve and rod. The sleeve moves laterally through the meshing of gear and toothed plate, causing the hopper to rotate around the hinge point at its bottom to complete the pouring of the masterbatch in the hopper. The sleeve and rod are prone to deformation after long-term use, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement, which increases costs. In addition, the material pouring method of tilting the hopper through gear and toothed plate is inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a lifting hopper structure for the production of color masterbatch.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a lifting hopper structure for the production of color masterbatch, including a hopper, the hopper being cylindrical, a baffle cylinder being provided inside the hopper, the baffle cylinder being fitted against the inner wall of the hopper, a vertical long groove being provided on one side of the baffle cylinder, a lifting component being provided between the baffle cylinder and the hopper, a rotating disk being provided inside the hopper, a stirring rod being provided on the rotating disk, and a driving component being provided at the bottom of the rotating disk.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a pair of lifting motors, which are located at the bottom of the hopper. The output end of the lifting motor is connected to a vertically arranged lead screw. The top of the lead screw is rotatably connected to a limiting block. The limiting block is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the hopper. A nut seat is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the baffle cylinder. The nut seat is movably arranged on the lead screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the baffle cylinder is provided with a limiting groove, the nut seat is disposed in the limiting groove, the lead screw is rotatably disposed in the limiting groove, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the limiting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the rotating disk is an inclined plane, the stirring rod is vertically and evenly fixed on the upper surface of the rotating disk, and the rotating disk is in contact with the inner wall of the baffle cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a rotary motor, which is fixed to the bottom of the baffle cylinder. The output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to a connecting seat, which is fixedly installed at the bottom axis of the rotating disk.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model design, the masterbatch is placed in the baffle cylinder inside the hopper. The rotating motor drives the rotating disk to rotate through the connecting seat. The inclined rotating disk on the upper surface and the stirring rod on the rotating disk stir the material and promote its separation. The lowest point of the rotating disk is higher than the lowest point of the vertical long groove. The lifting motor drives the baffle cylinder to lift through the lead screw and nut seat. The material flows out from the vertical long groove. The limiting block and the limiting groove make the lifting of the baffle cylinder more stable. When the baffle cylinder is lifted to the highest point, the material is completely discharged. The structure is stable, the service life is long, and the working efficiency is high.
