Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of silo top car unloading device, and specifically relates to a silo top car unloading mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A silo top car unloading mechanism is a device installed on a silo top car to control the release and transport of materials (such as bulk granular or powdery materials like grain, ore, and cement) from a storage silo. The main function of this mechanism is to achieve quantitative, timed, and uniform material unloading and ensure that the material can be smoothly transported to the designated location.
[0003] The existing silo top unloading mechanism includes a frame set on the top of the silo, a receiving hopper installed on the frame, a discharge pipe at the bottom of the receiving hopper, and a valve on the discharge pipe. When in use, the operator opens the valve to allow the material to flow downward.
[0004] However, during use, since the valve is located inside the discharge pipe, the material can get stuck inside the valve during the discharge process, causing the valve to become blocked. This requires workers to use tools to clear the blockage, which is time-consuming and laborious and does not meet people's needs. Therefore, a silo top car discharge mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a silo top car unloading mechanism, which not only meets the basic requirements for unloading materials, but also enables the material to be conveyed downwards by opening and closing a piston inside the silo, saving time and effort and meeting people's usage needs.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a silo top unloading mechanism, including a base plate, supports are respectively provided on the top left, right and front and rear sides of the base plate, U-shaped circular blocks are slidably arranged on the two supports, a silo body is slidably arranged on the top of the base plate, two intersecting horizontal bars are provided in the middle of the top of the silo body, a cylinder is provided in the middle of the two horizontal bars, a guide rod is slidably arranged inside the cylinder, a cone-shaped body corresponding to the U-shaped circular blocks is provided at the top of the guide rod, a piston is provided at the bottom of the guide rod, left and right sliding tracks are respectively provided on the top front and rear sides of the top of the base plate, two rollers are respectively provided inside the two sliding tracks, a square frame is provided on the top of the four rollers, four support plates are provided on the top of the square frame, and the four support plates are connected to the silo body.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bracket includes four support rods disposed on the top of the base plate, and horizontal plates are respectively disposed between the two front support rods and between the two rear support rods.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, guide rails are respectively provided on the inner ends of the four support rods, and slide blocks are respectively provided on the four guide rails. Connecting rods are respectively provided between the two front slide blocks and between the two rear slide blocks. Two vertical rods are respectively provided on the top of the two connecting rods. Top plates are respectively provided between the two left vertical rods and between the two right vertical rods. Multiple lifting plates are provided between the two top plates. A column is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate and is connected to a U-shaped block. A cylinder connected to the connecting rod is provided on the top of the front horizontal plate.
[0009] The movement of the cylinder drives the connecting rod to move up and down, which in turn causes the slide block connected to the connecting rod to move up and down along the guide rail. This, in turn, drives the vertical rod to move up and down, which in turn drives the top plate to move up and down. The movement of the top plate drives the lifting plate to move up and down, which in turn drives the column to move up and down, which in turn drives the U-shaped block to move up and down, thus lifting the cone. This causes the guide rod to move upward along the cylinder, which causes the piston to disengage from the hopper, allowing the hopper to discharge material from the discharge port. During the material discharge process, the small left and right movements of the square frame make the material discharge smoother.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a discharge port is provided in the middle of the base plate, and reinforcing ribs connected to the base plate are provided on the four support rods respectively. The hopper body includes a top feeding cylinder and a hopper is provided at the bottom of the feeding cylinder.
[0011] The design incorporates reinforcing ribs, which enhance the stability of the equipment during operation.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Firstly, this design incorporates a cylinder. The cylinder's movement drives the connecting rod to move up and down, causing the slide connected to the connecting rod to move up and down along the guide rail. This, in turn, drives the vertical rod to move up and down. The vertical rod's movement drives the top plate to move up and down, which in turn drives the lifting plate to move up and down. The lifting plate's movement drives the column to move up and down, which in turn drives the U-shaped block to move up and down, thus lifting the cone. This causes the guide rod to move upward along the cylinder, disengaging the piston from the hopper and allowing the hopper to discharge material from the discharge port. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.
[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a silo top unloading mechanism includes a base plate 101. Supports are fixedly connected to the top left, right, front, and rear sides of the base plate 101. U-shaped circular blocks 102 are slidably mounted on the two supports. A silo body 103 is slidably mounted on the top of the base plate 101. Two intersecting horizontal bars 104 are fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the silo body 103. A cylinder 105 is fixedly connected to the middle of the two horizontal bars 104. A guide rod 106 is slidably mounted inside the cylinder 105. A conical body 107 corresponding to the U-shaped circular blocks 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 106. A piston 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod 106. The support includes four support rods 109 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 101. Horizontal plates 110 are fixedly connected between the two front support rods 109 and between the two rear support rods 109.
[0022] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, guide rails 115 are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the four support rods 109 respectively. Slide seats 116 are slidably arranged on the four guide rails 115 respectively. Connecting rods 117 are fixedly connected between the two front slide seats 116 and between the two rear slide seats 116 respectively. Two vertical rods 118 are fixedly connected to the top of the two connecting rods 117 respectively. Top plates 119 are fixedly connected between the two left vertical rods 118 and between the two right vertical rods 118 respectively. Multiple lifting plates 120 are fixedly connected between the two top plates 119. A column 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 120. The column 201 is connected to the U-shaped block 102. A cylinder 202 connected to the connecting rods 117 is fixedly connected to the top of the front horizontal plate 110. A discharge port 203 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 101. The diameter of the discharge port is larger than the diameter of the hopper at the bottom of the silo.
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the top front and rear sides of the base plate 101 are respectively provided with left and right sliding tracks 111. The interior of the two sliding tracks 111 is provided with two rollers 112. The top of the four rollers 112 is provided with a square frame 113. The top of the square frame 113 is fixedly connected to four support plates 114. The four support plates 114 are connected to the bin body 103. The four support rods 109 are respectively fixedly connected with reinforcing ribs 204 connected to the base plate 101. The bin body 103 includes a feeding cylinder 205 at the top. The bottom of the feeding cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to a hopper 206.
[0024] How to use this utility model:
[0025] When in use, the staff pushes the frame 113. The pushing of the frame 113 causes the roller 112 to roll inside the slide 111, thereby moving the bin 103. The movement of the bin 103 makes the bottom of the hopper 206 correspond to the discharge port 203 on the bottom plate 101, and at the same time the guide rod enters the interior of the U-shaped block.
[0026] At this time, the operator starts cylinder 202. The movement of cylinder 202 drives the connecting rod 117 to move upward, which in turn causes the slide block 116 connected to the connecting rod 117 to move upward along the guide rail 115, thereby driving the vertical rod 118 to move upward. The upward movement of the vertical rod 118 drives the top plate 119 to move upward, and the movement of the top plate 119 drives the lifting plate 120 to move upward. The upward movement of the lifting plate 120 drives the column 201 to move upward, thereby driving the U-shaped block 102 to move upward, thereby lifting the cone 107, which causes the guide rod 106 to move upward along the cylinder 105, thereby causing the piston 108 to disengage from the hopper 206, so that the hopper 206 can discharge material from the discharge port 203.
[0027] After the material is fed, the operator starts the cylinder 202. The downward movement of the output shaft of the cylinder 202 causes the U-shaped block 102 to move downward, thereby causing the piston 108 to return to its original position and preventing the material from being fed automatically.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
