[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a central vacuum hopper feeding device, including a mounting cover plate 1, a feeding bin 2 at the upper end of the mounting cover plate 1, a fixed cover 3 at the upper end of the feeding bin 2, a lifting mechanism at the inner side of the feeding bin 2, a closing member at the lower end of the mounting cover plate 1, a spiral blade 4 at the upper end of the closing member, a spline sleeve 5 at the upper end of the spiral blade 4, a spline shaft 6 at the inner side of the spline sleeve 5, a first driving member for controlling the lifting mechanism at the upper end of the fixed cover 3, and a second driving member for controlling the rotation of the spline shaft 6 at the upper end of the fixed cover 3.
[0026] The closing component includes a guide component 8, and a sealing ring 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the guide component 8. The sealing ring 9 is used to close or open the lower end of the feeding hopper 2. By controlling the lifting and lowering of the guide component 8 and the sealing ring 9, the automatic opening and closing of the feeding device can be realized. By controlling the rotation of the spline shaft 6, the spline sleeve 5 drives the spiral blade 4 to rotate, which scatters and guides the material. When it is necessary to inspect and maintain the internal structure of the feeding device, the mounting cover 1 can be removed from the upper end of the central vacuum hopper, and the guide component 8 can be disassembled. Then, the fixed cover 3 can be removed from the upper end of the feeding hopper 2, and the internal structure can be taken out of the feeding hopper 2 together, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of each structure of the device.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment, the lower ends of the feeding hopper 2 and the mounting cover 1 are connected to each other, the fixed cover 3 is sealed to the upper end of the feeding hopper 2, and the side of the feeding hopper 2 is connected to a feed pipe joint for connecting to a material conveying pipeline. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame 7, the upper end of the lifting frame 7 is provided with a collar for fitting a spline sleeve 5, and the left and right sides of the lower end of the lifting frame 7 are provided with connecting plates for connecting the closing member. The guide member 8 has a bucket-shaped structure design, and the surface of the guide member 8 is provided with a mounting seat for connecting the lifting frame 7. The mounting seat and the connecting plate are detachably connected by bolts. The driving component is a telescopic cylinder 10. The output end of 10 extends to the lower end of the fixed cover 3 and the upper end of the lifting frame 7 and is fixedly connected. The mounting cover 1 is sealed to the upper end of the central vacuum hopper, so that the feeding bin 2 and the central vacuum hopper are connected to each other. The material conveying pipe is sealed to the feed pipe joint on the side of the feeding bin 2, so as to realize the installation docking of the feeding device. The material can be input into the feeding bin 2 through the feed pipe joint. The lifting frame 7 is controlled to descend by the telescopic cylinder 10, so that the guide 8 and the sealing ring 9 descend, and the sealing ring 9 is released from the blockage of the lower end of the feeding bin 2, so as to realize the automatic opening of the lower end of the feeding device and facilitate subsequent automatic sealing.
[0028] Please see Figures 2-5 In this embodiment, the lower end of the spiral blade 4 is rotatably connected to the guide component 8, the upper end of the spiral blade 4 is fixedly connected to the spline sleeve 5, the spline sleeve 5 is slidably sleeved to the outer side of the spline shaft 6, the second driving component is the drive motor 11, the telescopic cylinder 10 and the drive motor 11 are both fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed cover 3, the output end of the drive motor 11 extends to the lower end of the fixed cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spline shaft 6, the drive motor 11 controls the spline shaft 6 to rotate, so that the spline sleeve 5 drives the spiral blade 4 to rotate, to scatter and guide the material, and to realize the auxiliary material guiding. The telescopic cylinder 10 and the drive motor 11 can be replaced with other drive structures.
[0029] During operation, the lifting frame 7 is lowered by the telescopic cylinder 10, causing the guide component 8 and the sealing ring 9 to descend, releasing the seal of the sealing ring 9 from the lower end of the feeding hopper 2. The drive motor 11 controls the spline shaft 6 to rotate, causing the spline sleeve 5 to drive the spiral blade 4 to rotate, scattering and guiding the material, thus achieving auxiliary material guiding. When it is necessary to inspect and maintain the internal structure of the feeding device, the mounting cover 1 is removed from the upper end of the central vacuum hopper, and the guide component 8 can be disassembled. Then, the fixed cover 3 is removed from the upper end of the feeding hopper 2, which allows the internal structure to be taken out of the feeding hopper 2 together, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of each structure of the device.
[0030] Through the above steps, by controlling the lifting and lowering of the guide component 8 and the sealing ring 9, the automatic opening and closing of the feeding device is realized. By controlling the rotation of the spline shaft 6, the spline sleeve 5 drives the spiral blade 4 to rotate, which scatters and guides the material, thereby achieving auxiliary material guiding, avoiding material blockage, and improving the stability of material conveying. This solves the problem that the feeding device of the central vacuum hopper cannot flexibly control the opening and closing of the feeding pipe when it is not in use, and also lacks an auxiliary material guiding structure.
