Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to mechanical automation equipment technical field, concretely is ring cake feed bin chain plate type feeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In red forging production, the automatic heating equipment usually needs to store the materials in the feed bin, and then deliver the materials to the storage area of the discharging mechanism through the feeding mechanism. However, the existing feeding mechanism has many problems in practical application, especially in the design and operation of the chain plate conveying structure. During the operation of the ordinary chain plate feeding mechanism, gaps are easily generated between the chain plates, which will cause the materials to bridge each other during the conveying process, and even the head and tail materials will be stuck in the gap between the chain plates, causing damage to the mechanism. In addition, when the materials are stacked and formed into a stack, the space difference between the chain plate and the material will further cause the materials to be unable to be normally fed, and manual intervention is required to restore the operation. This not only reduces the stability and reliability of the equipment, but also significantly affects the efficiency of the on-site production. In the prior art, the gap problem at the joint of the chain plate and the problem of material accumulation and smooth conveying mainly result from the limitations of the chain plate structure design and the lack of effective anti-stacking and overflow processing mechanism. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new feeding device that can fundamentally solve the chain plate gap, prevent material from being stuck and accumulated, in order to improve the stability and production efficiency of the equipment operation. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model proposes an integrated feed bin chain plate feeding device and method to solve the problems of chain plate gap, material accumulation and insufficient equipment reliability in the existing red forging production. The technical solution optimizes the chain plate structure design, increases the anti-stacking hanging block and overflow material passing inclined plate, and solves the problems of material sticking in the gap and bottom accumulation, thereby improving the stability and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0004] This utility model provides an integrated hopper chain-type feeding device, including a welded hopper, a conformal drag chain base, roller chain plates, a support mounting base, main and auxiliary drive shafts, a drive sprocket, protective baffles, a special scraper, anti-stacking blocks, and overflow ramps. Specifically: the welded hopper is inclined to store materials to be fed and guide them into the chain conveyor area; the conformal drag chain base is fixed to the bottom of the device to support the roller chain plates and restrict their movement trajectory; the roller chain plates consist of multiple tightly connected chain plates, each with rollers on both sides, which roll in slots in the conformal drag chain base to ensure no gaps between the chain plates; the support mounting base is used to fix the main and auxiliary drive shafts and the drive sprocket, providing mechanical support for the main drive system; the main and auxiliary drive shafts are driven to rotate by a motor, which in turn drives the drive sprocket. The drive sprocket meshes with the roller chain plate, transmitting power to the chain plate to achieve material conveying; the guard baffle is set on both sides of the chain plate to prevent material from falling from the side and to protect the chain plate during operation; the special scraper is installed above the chain plate, and the material rests on its upper surface and moves upward with the chain plate, while excess material slides out from the overflow port and is sent to the feed ramp; the anti-stacking block is assembled on the side of the chain plate to hang the material piled up at the bottom, preventing material from accumulating and preventing feeding; the overflow feed ramp is located at the end of the device, receiving excess material that slides out from the overflow port and guiding it to the next process.

[0005] Furthermore, the seamless design of the chain plates in this invention is achieved through the cooperation of roller-type chain plates and conformal cable carrier bases. Specifically, the rollers on both sides of each chain plate are embedded in the grooves of the conformal cable carrier base, and the chain plates remain tightly connected as the rollers roll in the grooves. The shape of the grooves in the conformal cable carrier base matches the movement trajectory of the chain plates, ensuring that the chain plates maintain a seamless state in both the vertical and circular sections. In addition, the pressure strip on the upper side of the chain plate fits tightly against the inner wall of the welding hopper, further preventing gaps from forming at the joints of the chain plates. This design fundamentally eliminates the possibility of materials getting stuck in the gaps of the chain plates, avoiding mechanical damage caused by material jamming.

[0006] Specifically, the anti-stacking block design of this invention addresses the problem of material accumulation at the bottom. The anti-stacking block is fixed to the side of the chain plate, and its shape conforms to the chain plate's movement trajectory. As the chain plate slides along the conformal drag chain base, the anti-stacking block moves accordingly and suspends the material accumulated at the bottom. This design effectively prevents material accumulation at the bottom, ensuring that material can enter the chain plate conveying area evenly, thereby improving feeding efficiency and equipment stability.

[0007] Furthermore, the overflow conveying ramp of this utility model is designed to handle excess material. The upper surface of the specially designed scraper is provided with an overflow port. When the material exceeds the upper surface of the scraper, the excess material slides out from the overflow port and falls into the overflow conveying ramp. The overflow conveying ramp is inclined, and its slope matches the material flow characteristics, ensuring that the excess material can smoothly slide to the next process. This design not only avoids material blockage but also enables the recycling of excess material.

[0008] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0009] S1: Material feeding stage. The material is poured into the device from the welding hopper. Due to the inclined setting of the welding hopper, the material naturally slides into the chain conveyor area.

[0010] S2: In the chain plate drive stage, the motor starts and drives the main and auxiliary drive shafts to rotate. The main and auxiliary drive shafts drive the drive sprockets to rotate, and the drive sprockets mesh with the roller chain plates, transmitting power to the chain plates. The roller chain plates slide under the constraint of the conformal cable chain base, and the rollers on both sides of the chain plates roll in the base grooves to ensure no gaps between the chain plates.

[0011] S3: During the material conveying stage, the material moves upward along with the rotating chain plate, resting against the upper surface of the specially designed scraper plate. When the material exceeds the upper surface of the scraper plate, the excess material slides out from the overflow port and falls into the overflow conveyor ramp. The anti-stacking block moves with the chain plate, suspending the material piled up at the bottom to prevent material from accumulating and hindering feeding.

[0012] S4: During the material output stage, a full-load sensor is installed behind the overflow conveyor ramp. When the material reaches the preset amount, the sensor triggers a signal to stop feeding. The bottom protective baffle closes after passing under the specially designed scraper to prevent material from escaping.

[0013] Furthermore, the technical effects of this utility model are achieved through the following means: First, the seamless design of the chain plate completely solves the problem of material getting stuck in the gaps, avoiding mechanical damage caused by material jamming and extending the service life of the equipment. Second, the anti-stacking block design effectively prevents material from accumulating at the bottom, ensuring uniform material feeding and improving the stability and production efficiency of the equipment. Third, the overflow conveyor ramp design reasonably handles excess material, avoiding material blockage and realizing the recycling of excess material. Finally, the automated feeding process reduces the need for manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, and improves production efficiency.

[0014] In particular, the overall structural design of this utility model fully considers the synergistic effect between various components. The inclination angle of the welding hopper matches the material flow characteristics, ensuring that the material can smoothly slide into the chain conveyor area. The groove shape of the conformal drag chain base matches the movement trajectory of the chain, ensuring that the chain remains seamless during operation. The overflow port position of the specially designed scraper is precisely calculated to ensure that excess material can be discharged in a timely manner. The shape of the anti-stacking block is adapted to the movement trajectory of the chain, ensuring that it can effectively catch the material accumulated at the bottom. The slope of the overflow ramp matches the material flow characteristics, ensuring that excess material can smoothly slide down to the next process. The close cooperation between the components enables the entire device to operate in a highly efficient and stable state.

[0015] Furthermore, the key points and protection points of this utility model include the following:

[0016] First, the seamless design of the chain plates, through the cooperation of the roller chain plates and the conformal drag chain base, ensures that there are no gaps between the chain plates, fundamentally solving the problem of materials getting stuck in the gaps.

[0017] Secondly, the anti-stacking hanging block design prevents the material from piling up and hindering feeding by hanging the material at the bottom, ensuring that the material enters the chain conveyor area evenly.

[0018] Third, the overflow discharge ramp design ensures that excess material can be discharged smoothly and avoids material blockage by reasonably setting the overflow port and discharge ramp.

[0019] Fourth, the overall structural design, through the synergistic effect of components such as welded hoppers, conformal drag chain bases, and roller chain plates, achieves efficient and stable material conveying.

[0020] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative design of optimized chain plate structure, addition of anti-stacking hanging blocks and overflow conveyor ramps, solves the problems of chain plate gaps, material accumulation, and insufficient equipment reliability in the prior art, and significantly improves the stability and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] The specific implementation method of this utility model, an integrated silo chain plate feeding device and method, is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example... Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model includes a welded hopper 1, a conformal cable chain base 2, a roller chain plate 3, a support mounting base 4, main and auxiliary drive shafts 5, a drive sprocket 6, a protective baffle 7, a special scraper 8, an anti-stacking hanging block 9, and an overflow conveyor 10. These components work together to complete the automated material feeding process, and their specific structure and operating principle are as follows.

[0030] The welding hopper 1 is the starting part of the entire device. Its inclined design ensures that materials can smoothly slide into the chain conveyor area. The inner wall of the welding hopper 1 fits tightly against the upper side pressure strip of the roller chain 3, preventing material from getting stuck due to gaps at the chain joints. The inclination angle of the welding hopper 1 is precisely calculated to match the material flow characteristics, avoiding material stagnation or accumulation within the hopper. In practical applications, after materials are manually or mechanically poured into the welding hopper 1, they naturally slide into the chain conveyor area under gravity, providing a foundation for subsequent automated feeding.

[0031] The conformal cable chain base 2 is fixed to the bottom of the device to support the roller chain plate 3 and restrict its movement trajectory. The conformal cable chain base 2 has internal slots whose shape matches the movement trajectory of the roller chain plate 3, ensuring a seamless connection between the chain plates in both vertical and curved sections. The roller chain plate 3 consists of multiple tightly connected chain plates, each with rollers on both sides. The rollers are embedded in the slots of the conformal cable chain base 2 and roll. The design of the roller chain plate 3 allows the chain plates to be tightly connected like hinges, fundamentally solving the gap problem that occurs during the movement of traditional chain plates. This seamless design not only prevents material from getting stuck in the gaps between the chain plates and causing damage to the mechanism, but also improves the service life and stability of the equipment.

[0032] The support mounting base 4 is used to fix the main and auxiliary drive shafts 5 and the drive sprocket 6, providing mechanical support for the main drive system. The main and auxiliary drive shafts 5 are driven to rotate by a motor, which drives the drive sprocket 6 to rotate. The drive sprocket 6 meshes with the roller chain plate 3, transmitting power to the chain plate to realize material conveying. In actual operation, after the motor starts, the main and auxiliary drive shafts 5 begin to rotate, and the drive sprocket 6 rotates accordingly, driving the roller chain plate 3 to slide along the groove of the conformal cable chain base 2 through meshing. The movement trajectory of the roller chain plate 3 is determined by the shape of the groove of the conformal cable chain base 2, ensuring that the chain plate always maintains a seamless state during operation.

[0033] Protective baffles 7 are installed on both sides of the roller chain plate 3 to prevent materials from falling from the sides and to protect the chain plate during operation. The height of the protective baffles 7 is precisely designed to effectively prevent material spillage without obstructing the chain plate's movement. A specially designed scraper plate 8 is installed above the roller chain plate 3, and materials rest on its upper surface as it moves upward with the chain plate. The upper surface of the specially designed scraper plate 8 has an overflow port. When the material exceeds the upper surface of the scraper plate, the excess material slides out from the overflow port and falls into the overflow conveyor plate 10. The position of the overflow port is precisely calculated to ensure that excess material can be discharged in a timely manner, avoiding material blockage that could affect the normal operation of the equipment.

[0034] Anti-stacking blocks 9 are mounted on the side of the roller chain plate 3 to hang materials piled up at the bottom, preventing material buildup and hindering feeding. The shape of the anti-stacking blocks 9 adapts to the movement trajectory of the chain plate. As the roller chain plate 3 slides along the conformal drag chain base 2, the anti-stacking blocks 9 move accordingly and hang the materials piled up at the bottom. This design effectively prevents material from accumulating at the bottom, ensuring that materials can enter the chain plate conveying area evenly, thereby improving feeding efficiency and equipment stability. An overflow ramp 10 is located at the end of the device, receiving excess material sliding out of the overflow port and guiding it to the next process. The overflow ramp 10 is inclined, its slope matching the material flow characteristics, ensuring that excess material can smoothly slide to the next process. This design not only avoids material blockage but also enables the recycling of excess material.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The material is first poured into the device from the welding hopper 1. Due to the inclined setting of the welding hopper 1, the material naturally slides into the conveying area of ​​the roller chain plate 3. After the motor starts, the main and auxiliary drive shafts 5 begin to rotate, driving the drive sprocket 6 to rotate. The drive sprocket 6 meshes with the roller chain plate 3, transmitting power to the chain plate. The roller chain plate 3 slides under the constraint of the conformal drag chain base 2. The rollers on both sides of the chain plate roll in the base grooves to ensure no gaps between the chain plates. As the roller chain plate 3 rotates, the material rests on the upper surface of the special scraper plate 8 and moves upward. When the material exceeds the upper surface of the special scraper plate 8, the excess material slides out from the overflow port and falls into the overflow conveyor ramp 10. The anti-stacking hanging block 9 moves with the roller chain plate 3, suspending the material piled up at the bottom to prevent material from accumulating and preventing feeding. A full material sensor is installed behind the overflow conveyor ramp 10. When the material reaches the preset amount, the sensor triggers a signal to stop feeding. The bottom protective baffle 7 closes after passing under the special scraper 8 to prevent material from escaping.

[0036] The technical effects of this utility model are achieved through the following means: The cooperation between the roller chain plate 3 and the conformal drag chain base 2 completely solves the problem of material getting stuck in the gap, avoids mechanical damage caused by material getting stuck, and extends the service life of the equipment. The design of the anti-stacking hanging block 9 effectively prevents material from accumulating at the bottom, ensures uniform material feeding, and improves the stability and production efficiency of the equipment. The design of the overflow conveying inclined plate 10 reasonably handles excess material, avoids material blockage, and realizes the recycling of excess material. The automated feeding process reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and improves production efficiency.

[0037] The overall structural design of this utility model fully considers the synergistic effect between various components. The inclination angle of the welding hopper 1 matches the material flow characteristics, ensuring that the material can smoothly slide into the conveying area of ​​the roller chain plate 3. The groove shape of the conformal drag chain base 2 matches the movement trajectory of the roller chain plate 3, ensuring that the chain plate remains seamless during operation. The overflow port position of the specially designed scraper plate 8 is precisely calculated to ensure that excess material can be discharged in a timely manner. The shape of the anti-stacking block 9 is adapted to the movement trajectory of the chain plate, ensuring that it can effectively hang the material accumulated at the bottom. The slope of the overflow ramp 10 matches the material flow characteristics, ensuring that excess material can smoothly slide down to the next process. The close cooperation between the components enables the entire device to operate in a highly efficient and stable state.

[0038] Furthermore, the key points and protection points of this utility model include the following: The cooperation between the roller chain plate 3 and the conformal drag chain base 2 ensures seamlessness between the chain plates, fundamentally solving the problem of materials getting stuck in gaps. The anti-stacking hanging block 9 prevents material from piling up and hindering feeding by suspending the material at the bottom, ensuring that the material enters the chain plate conveying area evenly. The overflow discharge ramp 10 ensures that excess material can be discharged smoothly by reasonably setting the overflow port and the discharge ramp, avoiding material blockage. The overall structural design achieves efficient and stable material conveying through the synergistic effect of components such as the welded hopper 1, the conformal drag chain base 2, and the roller chain plate 3.

[0039] In practical applications, the integrated hopper chain plate feeding device of this utility model is widely used in the automated heating process of hot forging production. For example, on a hot forging production line, this device is used to transport steel billets from the hopper to the storage area in front of the heating furnace. The tilt angle of the welding hopper 1 is optimized according to the size and weight of the steel billet to ensure that the steel billet can smoothly slide into the conveying area of ​​the roller chain plate 3. The groove shape of the conformal drag chain base 2 matches the movement trajectory of the roller chain plate 3, ensuring that the chain plate remains seamless during operation. The design of the anti-stacking hanging block 9 effectively prevents the steel billet from piling up at the bottom, ensuring that the steel billet can enter the conveying area of ​​the chain plate evenly, thereby improving feeding efficiency and equipment stability. The design of the overflow discharge inclined plate 10 reasonably handles excess steel billets, avoids steel billet blockage, and realizes the recycling of excess steel billets. The use of this device significantly improves the stability and production efficiency of the production line, reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and brings significant economic benefits to enterprises.

[0040] In summary, this utility model, through its innovative design of optimized chain plate structure, addition of anti-stacking hanging blocks and overflow conveyor ramps, solves the problems of chain plate gaps, material accumulation, and insufficient equipment reliability in the prior art, and significantly improves the stability and production efficiency of the equipment.
