Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, specifically to a fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component. Background Technology
[0002] Fertilizers are substances that provide one or more essential nutrients for plants, improve soil properties, and enhance soil fertility. They are one of the material bases of agricultural production and mainly include ammonium phosphate fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers containing macronutrients, fertilizers containing micronutrients, bio-fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and multi-dimensional field energy concentrated organic fertilizers.
[0003] Fertilizers, especially water-soluble compound fertilizers, can dissolve and recrystallize when exposed to moisture in the air during production, storage, or transportation. This can lead to the formation of chemical bonds or physical adhesion between particles, ultimately resulting in clumping. For example, the utility model patent CN204528391U discloses a fertilizer elevator that transports fertilizer via a conveyor belt and a hopper, but it lacks an anti-caking mechanism. This causes some water-soluble compound fertilizers to clump and stick inside the hopper, and stopping the machine for cleaning would significantly reduce the efficiency of fertilizer transport. Therefore, this paper proposes a fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component to solve the problem of fertilizer caking and adhering to the inner wall of the elevator bucket.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] A fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component includes a base, a column, a servo motor, a sprocket, and a chain. An anti-caking component is provided on the front side of the column, and a discharge component is provided on the anti-caking component.
[0007] The anti-caking assembly includes a connecting plate, a lifting bucket fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate away from the column, an installation box fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting bucket, a drive motor fixedly connected to the side of the installation box near the column, a first bevel gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, a rotating rod installed at the bottom of the lifting bucket, a second bevel gear fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod, and a cam fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod.
[0008] Preferably, the column is fixedly connected to the top of the base, the servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the column, the sprockets are distributed vertically, the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the top sprocket, and the chain teeth mesh with the sprockets.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting plate is connected to the chain by bolts, and two guide blocks are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate away from the lifting bucket. The column is provided with a guide groove on the side near the connecting plate that matches the movement trajectory of the guide blocks.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting bucket and both sides of the mounting box are fixedly connected to mounting plates, the rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.
[0011] Preferably, there are two cams symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting box, and the long shaft end of the cam is in contact with the bottom of the lifting bucket.
[0012] Preferably, the unloading assembly includes a guide plate, a box door is movably connected to the front side of the lifting bucket, a first magnet is fixedly connected to the box door, a second magnet is fixedly connected to the lifting bucket, connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the box door, and a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block.
[0013] Preferably, the guide plate is inclined and fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lifting bucket. The lifting bucket has a positioning groove that matches the positioning rod. The first magnet is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the box door, and the second magnet is on the same plane as the inner bottom wall of the lifting bucket.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model of a fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component are:
[0015] First, place the fertilizer in the lifting bucket, start the drive motor to drive the first bevel gear to rotate. Under the transmission of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, the rotating rod rotates. The rotating rod drives the cam to rotate. When the long shaft end of the cam rotates to fit against the bottom surface of the lifting bucket, the lifting bucket can be tapped once. The rotating cam continuously taps the lifting bucket, which can prevent the fertilizer from clumping and adhering to the inner wall of the lifting bucket.
[0016] Secondly, when the lifting bucket is raised to the unloading point, pull the box door upward until the first magnet and the second magnet are disengaged. At the same time, the positioning rod moves out of the positioning slot, and the box door can be removed. Under the action of the inclined guide plate, the fertilizer can be discharged automatically and smoothly, achieving the benefit of automatic unloading. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] For a specific embodiment of a fertilizer elevator with an anti-caking component, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 It includes a base 1, a column 2, a servo motor 3, a sprocket 4 and a chain 5. An anti-caking component 6 is provided on the front side of the column 2, and a discharge component 7 is provided on the anti-caking component 6.
[0025] The anti-caking component 6 includes a connecting plate 61. A lifting bucket 62 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 61 away from the column 2. A mounting box 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting bucket 62. A drive motor 64 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting box 63 near the column 2. A first bevel gear 65 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 64. A rotating rod 66 is installed at the bottom of the lifting bucket 62. A second bevel gear 67 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 66. A cam 68 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 66.
[0026] The column 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the column 2, the sprockets 4 are distributed vertically, the output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top sprocket 4, and the chain 5 teeth mesh with the sprocket 4.
[0027] The fixed connection between the column 2 and the base 1 enhances the stability of the overall structure, ensuring that the hoist does not shake during operation. The design of the servo motor 3 driving the sprocket 4 enables precise position control and speed adjustment.
[0028] The connecting plate 61 is connected to the chain 5 by bolts. Two guide blocks are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 61 away from the lifting bucket 62. The column 2 is provided with a guide groove on the side close to the connecting plate 61 that matches the movement trajectory of the guide blocks.
[0029] The connecting plate 61 is connected to the chain 5 by bolts, which facilitates quick installation and disassembly and reduces maintenance costs. The cooperation between the guide block and the guide groove ensures the straightness of the anti-caking component 6 during vertical movement, avoids jamming or abnormal wear caused by skew, and improves the stability of equipment operation.
[0030] Mounting plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting bucket 62 and to both sides of the mounting box 63. The rotating rod 66 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates, and the first bevel gear 65 meshes with the second bevel gear 67.
[0031] The rotating rod 66 is fixed by the mounting plate, which enhances the support rigidity of the rotating rod 66 and avoids deformation or breakage caused by long-term vibration. The bevel gear pair transmission realizes the 90° rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 64, making the power transmission more compact.
[0032] There are two cams 68, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting box 63. The long shaft end of the cam 68 is in contact with the bottom of the lifting bucket 62.
[0033] The symmetrically distributed double cams 68 generate periodic vibrations through rotation, effectively breaking the adhesion between fertilizer particles and preventing clumping. The design of the long shaft end of the cam 68 fitting snugly against the bottom of the lifting bucket 62 ensures that the vibration energy acts directly on the fertilizer, improving the dispersion efficiency while reducing energy loss.
[0034] The unloading assembly 7 includes a guide plate 71, a box door 72 movably connected to the front side of the lifting bucket 62, a first magnet 73 fixedly connected to the box door 72, a second magnet 74 fixedly connected to the lifting bucket 62, connecting blocks 75 fixedly connected to both sides of the box door 72, and a positioning rod 76 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 75.
[0035] The inclined design of the guide plate 71 accelerates the fertilizer unloading speed and avoids residue. The magnetic closure of the box door 72 simplifies the opening and closing operation and prevents fertilizer from overflowing. The positioning rod 76 cooperates with the positioning groove to ensure accurate positioning when the box door 72 is closed, avoiding leakage caused by misalignment.
[0036] The guide plate 71 is inclined and fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lifting bucket 62. The lifting bucket 62 is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning rod 76. The first magnet 73 is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the box door 72, and the second magnet 74 is on the same plane as the inner bottom wall of the lifting bucket 62.
[0037] The design of the first magnet 73 being flush with the bottom surface of the box door 72 and the second magnet 74 being flush with the inner bottom wall of the lifting bucket 62 avoids scraping or jamming caused by the first magnet 73 and the second magnet 74 protruding. The positioning rod 76 is used in conjunction with the positioning groove to achieve precise installation of the box door 72.
[0038] Its working principle is as follows: Fertilizer is placed into the lifting bucket 62, and the servo motor 3 is started to drive the sprocket 4 to rotate in the forward direction. Under the action of the chain 5 and the connecting plate 61, the lifting bucket 62 can be lifted upward. During the upward movement of the lifting bucket 62, the drive motor 64 is started to drive the first bevel gear 65 to rotate. Through the second bevel gear 67 meshing with it, the rotating rod 66 is driven to rotate, so that the cam 68 continuously taps the lifting bucket 62, which can prevent fertilizer from clumping and adhering to the inner wall of the lifting bucket 62. When the lifting bucket 62 is lifted to the unloading position, the box door 72 is pulled upward until the first magnet 73 and the second magnet 74 are disengaged. At the same time, the positioning rod 76 moves out of the positioning slot, and the box door 72 can be removed. Under the action of the inclined guide plate 71, the fertilizer can be automatically and smoothly discharged. Finally, the servo motor 3 is started to drive the sprocket 4 to rotate in the reverse direction, which can lower the lifting bucket 62 to its original position for the next fertilizer lifting and transportation.
[0039] Through the above technical solutions, under the action of the anti-caking component 6 and the unloading component 7, fertilizer caking and accumulation can be prevented while unloading can be carried out automatically and smoothly, thus improving the practicality of the entire device.
[0040] It should be noted that, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these specific embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
