Detailed Implementation

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, the automatic regenerated cryolite adding vehicle includes an electric vehicle 1. The top of the electric vehicle 1 is provided with a bin 2, and the bin 2 is provided with a discharge port for discharging materials. A discharge valve is provided at the discharge port. The chassis of the electric vehicle 1 has holes. The materials in the bin 2 can be automatically discharged through the discharge port and holes by utilizing the drop. The inside of the bin 2 is provided with a bottom plate 16 located on the discharge port. The inside of the bin 2 is equipped with a rotatable scraper 7 installed through a rotating shaft 9. Drive components are provided on both sides of the bin 2. In this application, the electric vehicle 1 is used as a mobile carrier, and the bin 2 is used as a container for loading regenerated cryolite. The electric vehicle 1 transports the bin 2 containing regenerated cryolite to a high position, and the materials are automatically discharged by the drop. Parking lines are drawn on the ground. After the electric vehicle 1 moves to the parking area, the discharge port is aligned with the regenerated cryolite feeding port. The discharge valve is manually controlled to open and close, and the addition of regenerated cryolite is completed, which reduces the intensity of manual labor and improves the efficiency of operation.

[0022] The driving component includes a mounting base 5, a push cylinder a6, and a fixed hinge support 11. The mounting base 5 is fixedly installed on both sides of the hopper 2. The two ends of the push cylinder a6 are connected to the mounting base 5 and the scraper 7 respectively through the fixed hinge support 11. Since the hopper 2 is rectangular, the recycled cryolite outside the feed port will not be automatically discharged under the action of the drop during the feeding process, and manual cleaning is required. Setting it into the shape of a hopper not only affects the loading capacity of the hopper 2, but also makes it difficult to avoid recycled cryolite residue on the inner wall of the hopper. In order to solve this problem, this application adds a driving component to push the scraper 7. The scraper 7 pushes the recycled cryolite out of the feed port, which not only does not affect the capacity of the hopper 2, but also promotes the discharge of recycled cryolite in the hopper 2.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a top chamber 3 is provided on the top of the chamber body 2, and a feeding port 17 is installed on the top chamber 3. A material cover 18 is threadedly connected to the feeding port 17. A guide plate 8 is provided inside the chamber body 2 above the rotating shaft 9. The guide plate 8 is installed at a downward inclination and is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber body 2. The rotating shaft 9 and the guide plate 8 are rotatably connected. In order to avoid the recycled cryolite affecting the smoothness of rotation, this application controls the falling direction of the recycled cryolite by adding the guide plate 8. A hollow is formed at the connection between the rotating shaft 9 and the guide plate 8. The front and back of the scraper 7 are respectively attached to the inner wall of the top chamber 3, and the scraper 7 can slide inside the top chamber 3.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the base plate 16 is trapezoidal, with its two sides respectively attached to the bottom of the scraper plate 7. The scraper plate 7 is driven by a drive component with the rotating shaft 9 as the center, and the bottom edge of the scraper plate 7 moves along an arc trajectory. The two sides of the base plate 16 are arc surfaces 13, and the arc surfaces 13 move along the same trajectory as the bottom edge of the scraper plate 7, maintaining the gap between the scraper plate 7 and the base plate 16 during the scraping process, and minimizing material leakage.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom plate 16 is provided with a material collection port 12 that fits against the arc-shaped surface 13. The material collection port 12 is inverted conical in shape, and the bottom of the material collection port 12 is a discharge port and a discharge valve. When the scraper plate 7 pushes the recycled cryolite to the material collection port 12, the recycled cryolite gathers and falls through the material collection port 12.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the silo body 2 is provided with a corrugated pipe 14 that communicates with the discharge port. The output end of the silo body 2 and the corrugated pipe 14 are connected by a push cylinder b15. The push cylinder b15 and the push cylinder a6 can be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod. The push cylinder b15 pushes the corrugated pipe 14 to extend and connect with the recycled cryolite material port located below for material discharge.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, slag discharge troughs 10 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the bin body 2. Since the scraper 7 slides inside the bin body 2, there must be a gap between the scraper 7 and the bin body 2. Some ultrafine recycled crystals will enter the back of the scraper 7 through the gap, causing the movement of the scraper 7 to be restricted. In order to discharge the distributed recycled crystals, slag discharge troughs 10 are provided.

[0028] It should be noted that all the above embodiments belong to the same utility model concept, and the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. Where the description in a particular embodiment is not detailed, please refer to the description in other embodiments.

[0029] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
