TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a transfer hopper technical field, concretely relates to a transfer hopper of convenient unloading. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of compression molding plastic pallet, the transfer of material is a crucial link. Compression molding process needs to mix various raw materials, such as plastic particles, additives, etc. according to a certain proportion, and then deliver them to the compression molding equipment. In this process, the material transfer hopper, as the key equipment connecting raw material storage and compression molding, directly affects the production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] The traditional material transfer hopper often has problems such as unsmooth unloading and more residual material when unloading. This is because the structure of the traditional transfer hopper is relatively simple, usually using an inclined bottom surface to cooperate with gravity unloading. Not only does this increase the volume of the transfer hopper, but also the material may accumulate near the discharge port due to factors such as humidity and particle size, causing the discharge port to be blocked.

[0012] The following is the specific embodiment of the utility model, and the technical scheme of the utility model is further described in conjunction with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0013] The utility model provides a kind of material transfer hopper of convenient unloading, including support frame 1 and material transfer hopper, both sides of support frame 1 are equipped with lug plate 2, the material transfer hopper includes first half body hopper 3 and second half body hopper 4, the first half body hopper 3 and second half body hopper 4 are all one fourth spherical structure, and material quality preferably is stainless steel material quality, both ends of first half body hopper 3 and second half body hopper 4 are respectively installed on lug plate 2 by first pivot 5 and second pivot 6, first pivot 5 and second pivot 6 are rotatably installed on lug plate 2 by bearing, both sides of support frame 1 are equipped with drive mechanism by support seat 7, which drives first half body hopper 3 and second half body hopper 4 synchronous rotation.

[0014] As Figure 1As shown, when the first half-hopper 3 and the second half-hopper 4 are in the closed state, they combine to form a hemispherical structure that can hold materials. The inside of the rotating hopper is made of smooth stainless steel to reduce material sticking to the wall. The drive mechanism drives the first half-hopper 3 and the second half-hopper 4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6 respectively, causing the first half-hopper 3 and the second half-hopper 4 to flip over. The material in the rotating hopper loses its support and is smoothly discharged along the opening direction under the action of gravity, thereby realizing unloading. Compared with the traditional transfer hopper, this utility model occupies less space, is convenient for unloading, and does not cause material blockage.

[0015] The drive mechanism includes a cylinder 8, a cam 9, a drive gear 10, and a driven gear 11 meshing with the drive gear 10. One end of the cylinder 8 is mounted on the support base 7 via a hinge seat, and the output end of the cylinder 8 is rotatably mounted on the cam 9. One end of the first rotating shaft 5 passes through the ear plate 2 and is connected to the drive gear 10 and the cam 9. One end of the second rotating shaft 6 passes through the ear plate 2 and is connected to the driven gear 11.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, after cylinder 8 starts, it pushes or pulls cam 9 to rotate. The movement of cam 9 drives the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 5 drives the driving gear 10 to rotate. The driving gear 10 meshes with the driven gear 11, transmitting power to the gear set. When cylinder 8 retracts, it pulls cam 9 to move towards cylinder 8, causing the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle. The first rotating shaft 5 drives the driving gear 10 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, and the driven gear 11 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. The first rotating shaft 5 drives the first half-hopper 3 to flip counterclockwise, and the second rotating shaft 6 drives the second half-hopper 4 to flip clockwise, thus opening the discharge port. When cylinder 8 pushes cam 9, it causes the driving gear 10 to rotate clockwise and the driven gear 11 to rotate counterclockwise. The first rotating shaft 5 will drive the first half-hopper 3 to flip clockwise, and the second rotating shaft 6 will drive the second half-hopper 4 to flip counterclockwise, thus closing the discharge port and forming a rotating hopper.

[0017] Operating Principle: During operation, the weighed material is placed in the rotating hopper. A robotic arm then transports the hopper to the top of the next piece of equipment. Activating cylinder 8 causes it to retract, pulling cam 9 to rotate counter-clockwise by a certain angle. Simultaneously, cam 9 rotates the first rotating shaft 5 and the drive gear 10 counter-clockwise by a certain angle. The drive gear 10 drives the driven gear 11 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. Under the action of the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6, the first half-hopper 3 and the second half-hopper 4 simultaneously flip. After flipping by a certain angle, the material inside the hopper loses its support and is smoothly discharged along the lower opening under gravity, thus achieving unloading. After unloading, the robotic arm transports the hopper to the bottom of the next piece of equipment. During the manual rotation of the hopper, cylinder 8 extends, pushing cam 9 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. Cam 9 drives drive gear 10 and first shaft 5 to rotate clockwise. Driven gear 11 rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle under the action of drive gear 10. Driven gear 11 drives second shaft 6 to rotate. Driven by first shaft 5 and second shaft 6, the first half-hopper 3 will rotate clockwise by a certain angle and the second half-hopper 4 will rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, respectively. This allows the first half-hopper 3 and the second half-hopper 4 to be joined together to form a hemispherical rotating hopper. Weighed materials are then fed into the rotating hopper. With the help of the robotic arm, the material is continuously transported to the next piece of equipment, greatly improving work efficiency.

Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
