Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material cleaning technology for discharge ports, and in particular to a material cleaning device for the discharge port of a C5 chute. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial production fields, such as cement and chemical industries, C5 chutes, as tubular devices used for material transfer, usually have a certain inclination angle so that materials can flow smoothly under the action of gravity. They can stably and efficiently transport materials generated by upstream devices to downstream, ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0003] However, during the use of C5 chutes, materials often gradually layer and adhere to the inner wall of the chute, forming a loose and porous layered covering. As the covering gradually thickens, it not only reduces the effective flow of the chute and affects the normal transport of materials, but in severe cases, it can lead to chute blockage, causing the interruption of the entire production process and resulting in huge economic losses for enterprises. In existing technologies, the covering is sometimes cleaned manually at regular intervals, and sometimes cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner. However, the former is labor-intensive and inefficient, while the latter is less effective for some stubborn and thick crusts. Therefore, based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a material cleaning device for the discharge port of C5 chutes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a cleaning device for the discharge port of a C5 chute to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect on stubborn and thick crust coverings in the prior art.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning device for the discharge port of a C5 chute includes a chute body and an air cannon with its output end extending into the interior of the chute body. The air cannon is used to spray compressed airflow onto the inner wall of the chute body. The output end of the air cannon is provided with a transition cover. The end of the transition cover away from the air cannon is connected to a dispersion plate by a spring. The dispersion plate has multiple evenly distributed vent holes for the airflow released by the air cannon to pass through and act on the inner wall of the chute. The device also includes a vibration assembly for driving the dispersion plate to vibrate, thereby causing the compressed airflow emitted by the air cannon to vibrate.

[0007] Preferably, the vibration assembly includes a cam corresponding to the position of the dispersion plate and a motor mounted on the chute body. The output end of the motor is connected to the cam, and the dispersion plate vibrates when the cam rotates.

[0008] Preferably, a corrugated hose is provided between the dispersion plate and the transition cover, and the corrugated hose is used to achieve a seal between the dispersion plate and the transition cover.

[0009] Preferably, the inner radial direction of the vent hole gradually decreases away from the air cannon.

[0010] Preferably, the inner diameter of the transition cover gradually increases from the air cannon toward the dispersion plate.

[0011] Preferably, there are multiple air cannons, all of which are installed on the side wall of the chute body and are arranged in an alternating pattern along the length of the chute body to achieve all-round cleaning of the chute body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up the air cannon, a large amount of compressed air is sprayed out. When the compressed air is sprayed out, it will enter the transition shroud for buffering, and then pass through the vent. During this process, the vibration component drives the dispersion plate to vibrate. At this time, the compressed air passing through the vent also vibrates. The fluctuating compressed air has a stronger impact force, which effectively disperses stubborn and thick crust coverings from the inner wall of the chute. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, a cleaning device for the discharge port of a C5 chute includes a chute body 1 and an air cannon 2 whose output end extends into the interior of the chute body 1. The air cannon 2 is used to spray compressed air into the inner wall of the chute body 1. The air cannon 2 is equipped with an air storage tank for storing compressed air. Before operation, the air is compressed and stored in the air storage tank by an air compressor or other equipment. At this time, the air pressure increases and the energy is stored in the form of the potential energy of the compressed air. When it is needed, the valve is quickly opened by controlling the valve, and the high-pressure air in the air storage tank is instantly sprayed out from the nozzle and rushes towards the inner wall of the chute body 1.

[0021] A transition cover 3 is provided at the output end of the air cannon 2. The end of the transition cover 3 away from the air cannon 2 is connected to a dispersion plate 4 by a spring 6. The dispersion plate 4 blocks the air cannon 2 and the inside of the chute body 1, reducing the backlash force of the high-speed compressed airflow or the possible rebound of materials into the air cannon 2, which could damage the outlet part of the air cannon 2. In addition, the inner diameter of the transition cover 3 gradually increases from the air cannon 2 towards the dispersion plate 4. When the air cannon 2 sprays out compressed airflow, the compressed airflow diffuses in the transition cover 3, just like guiding the water flow in a narrow channel into a gradually widening river. The airflow will be more evenly distributed in this gradually widening space. This diffusion can allow the airflow to cover a larger area and act more evenly on the dispersion plate 4. Then, the diffused compressed airflow enters multiple evenly distributed vent holes 5 opened on the dispersion plate 4. The vent holes 5 are used to allow the airflow released by the air cannon 2 to pass through and act on the inner wall of the chute, in order to enhance the impact force of the compressed airflow sprayed from the vent holes 5.

[0022] It also includes a vibration component, which drives the dispersion plate 4 to vibrate, causing the compressed airflow emitted by the air cannon 2 to vibrate. The vibration of the dispersion plate 4 drives the compressed airflow to vibrate, breaking its original state and causing the compressed airflow to fluctuate. At the same time, as the inner diameter of the transition cover 3 gradually increases, the amplitude and range of the compressed airflow vibration will also be amplified in this space. Thus, the airflow will be more significantly disturbed by vibration in the space of the transition cover 3, thus acting together on the compressed airflow and making the vibration of the compressed airflow more intense. This fluctuating airflow has a stronger impact force and can more effectively disperse the layered covering on the inner wall of the chute body 1. The synergistic effect of the air cannon 2 and the vibration component is better at cleaning the stubborn and thick crusted layered covering on the inner wall of the chute body 1.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, further, in order to make the dispersing plate 4 vibrate, the vibration assembly includes a cam 71 corresponding to the position of the dispersing plate 4 and a motor 72 provided on the chute body 1. The output end of the motor 72 is connected to the cam 71. When the motor 72 starts and drives the cam 71 to rotate, the cam 71 changes continuously. The part with the longer inner diameter intermittently abuts against the dispersing plate 4. Under the action of the spring 6, the dispersing plate 4 vibrates. The vibrating dispersing plate 4 can drive the compressed airflow through the vent 5 to vibrate, thereby increasing the impact force of the compressed airflow coming out of the vent 5.

[0024] A corrugated hose 8 is provided between the dispersing plate 4 and the transition cover 3. The corrugated hose 8 is used to achieve a seal between the dispersing plate 4 and the transition cover 3. At this time, before the compressed air is ejected from the vent hole 5, the compressed air is in a sealed environment, which reduces the loss of compressed air from the gap between the dispersing plate 4 and the transition cover 3. This ensures that most of the airflow enters the interior of the chute body 1 through the vent hole 5 on the dispersing plate 4, improves the utilization efficiency of the compressed airflow, enhances the cleaning effect on the layered covering, and also prevents the material from falling between the dispersing plate 4 and the transition cover 3 when passing through the chute body 1. While ensuring a sealed environment, it has good flexibility and extensibility, and can well adapt to the vibration of the dispersing plate 4.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 As shown, further, the inner radial direction of the vent 5 gradually decreases away from the air cannon 2. With a constant flow rate of compressed air ejected from the air cannon 2, the airflow velocity at the outlet of the vent 5 will increase. This can make the ejected airflow have a stronger impact force, making the vibrating compressed airflow more likely to penetrate into the material. This will cause the layered coverings attached to the inner wall of the chute body 1 to separate from each other, making the layered coverings looser and easier to flow and clean.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown, further, there are multiple air cannons 2, and all of the multiple air cannons 2 are set on the side wall of the chute body 1. The multiple air cannons 2 are arranged in an alternating manner along the length extension direction of the chute body 1. For example, multiple air cannons 2 can be set on the opposite side walls inside the chute body 1. Then, there is a certain gap between adjacent air cannons 2 on one side of the inner wall, and the air cannons 2 on the opposite side are aligned with the gap to clean, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the chute body 1.
