Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plastic product recycling equipment, specifically relating to a spiral conveyor device for plastic granules. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic crushing is one of the processes in plastic recycling, and plastic crushers are commonly used in this process. In existing plastic recycling technologies, the plastic to be crushed is first placed into the hopper of a conveyor equipment, and then fed into the feed inlet of the crusher. The crusher will crush the plastic, and the crushed plastic will fall out of the discharge outlet of the crusher. Afterwards, the crushed plastic will be bagged and packaged manually or by a baling device.

[0003] To facilitate the feeding of recycled plastic into the crusher, the material is conveyed at an incline, fed from the top feed inlet of the crusher. The inclination of the conveyor needs to be adjusted according to the actual site conditions to accommodate the crusher height and site requirements. However, existing conveyor systems require disassembling the support legs to be replaced and then replacing them with height-matching ones. This process of moving support legs of different heights back and forth is inconvenient and involves a significant workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A spiral conveyor for plastic granules, comprising:

[0006] A hinged conveyor has a feed end and a discharge end;

[0007] The support component connects to the lower end of the hinge and provides upward support;

[0008] A feed hopper is located at the feed end and connected to the hinge auger;

[0009] The discharge hopper is located at the discharge end and connected to the hinge; and

[0010] Drive component, used to drive the hinge auger to rotate;

[0011] The support assembly includes an upper bracket and a lower support leg that is detachably connected to the lower end of the upper bracket;

[0012] The inner wall of the lower support leg has a pair of protrusions, and the lower end of the upper support has a plug rod that extends into the lower support leg. The plug rod has guide grooves on both sides that cooperate with the protrusions.

[0013] Furthermore, a stop ring extending radially outward is provided on the peripheral wall of the plug rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating wheel is connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper, and several sets of concave cavities that can accommodate materials are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating wheel.

[0015] Furthermore, the feed hopper is also equipped with guide plates located on both sides of the rotating wheel.

[0016] Furthermore, a baffle plate is also provided at the lower part of the guide plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a handle is connected to the center of the rotating wheel.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the discharge end is connected to the crushing device.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] The support assembly, constructed with detachable connections, allows for easy adjustment of the conveyor's tilt height by simply replacing the lower support legs after disassembling the entire assembly. This eliminates the need to replace the entire support assembly, reducing handling costs and simplifying operations. Attached Figure Description

[0030] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a plastic granule spiral conveying device of the present invention includes a hinge 1, a support assembly 2, and a drive assembly 6 for driving the hinge 1 to rotate.

[0031] Among them, the hinge 1 has a feed end 10 and a discharge end 11, and the bottom of the discharge end 11 is connected to the crushing device;

[0032] Support component 2 is connected to the lower end of hinge 1 and provides upward support;

[0033] The feed end 10 is provided with a feed hopper 4 connected to the hinge 1;

[0034] The discharge end 11 is equipped with a discharge hopper 5 connected to the hinge 1;

[0035] Among them, the support component 2 includes an upper bracket 20 and a lower support leg 3 that is detachably connected to the lower end of the upper bracket 20;

[0036] The support assembly 2, which is composed of detachable connecting parts, can be disassembled as a whole. Only the lower support leg 3 of appropriate length needs to be replaced to accommodate different heights of the support assembly 2, thus achieving the desired tilt height adjustment of the conveyor. Because of the detachable lower support leg 3, operators only need to take the lower support leg 3 of the appropriate length and assemble it according to the required tilt level, without needing to replace the entire support assembly 2. This reduces handling costs and brings convenience to the work.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the lower support leg 3 has a pair of protrusions 30, and the lower end of the upper bracket 20 has a plug rod 200 that extends into the lower support leg 3. The plug rod 200 has guide grooves 201 on both sides that cooperate with the protrusions 30.

[0038] During the assembly of the support component 2, as the plug rod 200 extends into the lower support leg 3, the cooperation between the protrusion 30 and the guide groove 201 prevents relative rotation between the two, and also makes it less prone to shaking during subsequent use.

[0039] In addition, a stop ring 202 extending radially outward is provided on the peripheral wall of the plug rod 200. The addition of the stop ring 202 serves to stop and limit the movement when the plug rod is in place.

[0040] To prevent the initial material from clogging in the feed auger 1 and causing a lack of material to enter the crushing device, a rotating wheel 40 is connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper 4. The rotating wheel 40 has several sets of concave cavities 400 that can accommodate materials evenly distributed around its circumference. In this way, by turning the rotating wheel 40, which is connected to the handle 43 at the center, the rotating wheel 40 can be rotated, and the material entering the concave cavities 400 can enter the auger 1 one by one as the rotating wheel rotates, thus avoiding material blockage.

[0041] In addition, the feed hopper 4 is also equipped with guide plates 41 located on both sides of the rotating wheel 40. The material fed into the feed hopper 4 is concentrated and fed towards one side of the rotating wheel under the action of the guide plates 41, so as to avoid the rotating wheel from spinning idly.

[0042] In addition, a baffle plate 42 is provided at the lower part of the guide plate 41. The baffle plate 42 covers the rotating wheel 40, and its open end faces the rotating wheel 40. Specifically, the baffle plate 42 is U-shaped.

[0043] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
