[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a double-layer openable flap feeder comprising a three-way connector 1. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected to the top front side of the three-way connector 1. The rotating rod 3 can rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 10 to change its angle and thus controlling the feeding direction. The bottom end of the rotating rod 3 passes through the three-way connector 1, ensuring that the rotating rod 3 can stably transmit power when rotating, driving the related components to move. Mother plates 4 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the three-way connector 1. The mother plates 4 provide the installation and support foundation for other components of the feeder, ensuring the stability of the structure. The rear ends of the two mother plates 4 are fixedly connected with locking blocks 5 at equal distances. The locking blocks 5 can cooperate with the locking slots 7 on the fixed plate 6 to achieve quick connection. With fine-tuning within a certain range, a fixing plate 6 is provided at the rear end of the adjacent side of the two mother plates 4. The fixing plate 6 enhances the structural strength of this part of the distributor and participates in the connection and positioning between components. The left and right sides of the fixing plate 6 are equidistantly fixed with slots 7, which engage with the locking blocks 5 for easy installation, disassembly, and maintenance. Multiple fixing bolts 8 are equidistantly rotatably connected to the top of the adjacent side of the two mother plates 4. The fixing bolts 8 are used to securely connect the liner plate 9 to the mother plate 4, ensuring a firm connection. Liners 9 are provided on the opposite sides of the two mother plates 4. The liner plates 9 protect and guide the material, reducing the direct impact of the material on the mother plates 4. One end of each fixing bolt 8 passes through the corresponding mother plate 4 and is threaded into the inside of the liner 9, making the liner 9 and the mother plate 4 tightly connected to ensure the stability of the material distribution process. A rotating plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 3. The rotation of the rotating plate 10 can change the material distribution path to realize the material distribution function. A cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top rear end of the rotating plate 10. The cylinder 11 provides a rotating connection point for the telescopic rod 13, so that the telescopic rod 13 can drive the rotating plate 10 to move. A bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the three-way connector 1. The bracket 12 supports the telescopic rod 13 to ensure its stable operation. The telescopic rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the bracket 12. The telescopic rod 13 extends through... The rotation angle of the rotating plate 10 is changed by the telescopic rod 13, thereby precisely controlling the material distribution direction. The other end of the telescopic rod 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the cylinder 11 to realize power transmission, so that the telescopic rod 13 can effectively drive the rotating plate 10. The bottom of the three-way connector 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism 2, which is used to adjust the height of the three-way connector 1 to adapt to the needs of different working scenarios. The front side of the bracket 12 is fixedly connected with a triangular fixing block 14, which enhances the stability of the connection between the bracket 12 and the three-way connector 1 and prevents the bracket 12 from shaking. The bottom of the triangular fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the three-way connector 1 to further strengthen the connection and ensure the overall structure of the material distributor is stable.
[0033] Specifically, the locking blocks 5, which are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the rear end of the mother plate 4, cooperate with the locking slots 7, which are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the left and right sides of the fixing plate 6, to achieve a quick and stable connection. This facilitates disassembly during maintenance and greatly reduces the difficulty of maintenance. The multiple fixing bolts 8, which are rotatably connected at equal intervals on the top of the adjacent sides of the two mother plates 4, cooperate with the outer liner 9 to ensure the stability of the structure and facilitate the individual replacement of the liner 9 and other components during maintenance. When it is necessary to adjust the material distribution direction, the rotating plate 10 is operated. The rotating plate 10 is fixed to the top of the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 rotates, thereby driving the entire material distribution structure to move. The cylinder 11, which is fixedly connected to the top of the rear end of the rotating plate 10, cooperates with the telescopic rod 13, which is rotatably connected to the rear side of the bracket 12. The bracket 12 is fixed to the top right side of the three-way connector 1. The length of the telescopic rod 13 can be adjusted as needed. Through the rotational connection with the cylinder 11, the rotation angle of the rotating plate 10 and the rotating rod 3 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving control of the material distribution direction. The triangular fixing block 14 can effectively disperse the force borne by the bracket 12 on the supporting telescopic rod 13, preventing the bracket 12 from shaking or shifting.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 2 of the double-layer openable flip-type feeder includes two horizontal plates 201. The horizontal plates 201 connect the three-way connector 1 and the hollow plate 202, ensuring a stable connection between the lifting mechanism 2 and the feeder body. The tops of the two horizontal plates 201 are fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the three-way connector 1, ensuring that the lifting force of the lifting mechanism 2 is evenly transmitted to the three-way connector 1, maintaining the stability of the feeder. Hollow plates 202 are fixedly connected to the bottom front and rear sides of the two horizontal plates 201. The hollow plates 202 provide a track for the support legs 203 to slide up and down, realizing the guiding function of height adjustment. Support legs 203 are slidably connected inside the hollow plates 202. The support legs 203 directly change the height of the feeder from the ground by sliding inside the hollow plates 202. Multiple adjustment holes 204 are equidistantly opened on one side of the multiple hollow plates 202. Adjusting bolts 205 provide fixing points at different heights for the support legs 203. Each support leg 203 has a pre-drilled hole 206 on its upper side. The pre-drilled hole 206 is threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt 205 to lock the position of the support leg 203 within the hollow plate 202. Adjusting bolts 205 are threaded into the interior of each pre-drilled hole 206. Tightening or loosening the adjusting bolts 205 controls the fixing and movement of the support leg 203 within the hollow plate 202. One end of each adjusting bolt 205 passes through a corresponding adjusting hole 204 and is threaded into the interior of a pre-drilled hole 206, achieving precise locking of the support leg 203's position. The size of the adjusting bolt 205 matches the size of the pre-drilled hole 206, ensuring a tight connection between the adjusting bolt 205 and the pre-drilled hole 206 and preventing accidental slippage of the support leg 203.
[0035] Specifically, when the height needs to be lowered, the operator first loosens the adjusting bolt 205, allowing the support leg 203 to slide downwards within the hollow plate 202 under its own weight. Once the desired height is reached, the adjusting bolt 205 is tightened, allowing it to pass through the corresponding adjusting hole 204 and screw into the reserved hole 206, thus fixing the support leg 203 in the corresponding position within the hollow plate 202. Conversely, to raise the distributor, the operator first loosens the adjusting bolt 205, then pushes the support leg 203 upwards to the appropriate height, and finally tightens the adjusting bolt 205 to complete the fixation. One end of the adjusting bolt 205 passes through the corresponding adjusting hole 204 and is threaded into the reserved hole 206. The size of the adjusting bolt 205 matches that of the reserved hole 206, thus locking the position of the support leg 203 within the hollow plate 202.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The three-way connector 1 has baffles 15 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of its internal rear end to guide the material to be dispensed according to the predetermined direction. Limiting grooves 16 are provided on the rear ends of adjacent sides of the two baffles 15. These limiting grooves 16 can cooperate with other related components to restrict their range of motion and ensure the accuracy of the dispensing action. Gaskets 17 are slidably connected to the outer walls of multiple fixing bolts 8. The gaskets 17 increase the contact area between the fixing bolts 8 and the mother plate 4, dispersing the pressure during fixing. One side of each gasket 17 is in contact with a corresponding side of the mother plate 4, enhancing the tightness of the fixing bolt connection and preventing components from loosening. The bottom of each of the multiple support legs 203 is fixedly connected to a corresponding support plate 18. The support plate 18 increases the contact area between the support leg 203 and the ground, making the distributor more stable. The bottom of each of the two support plates 18 is fixedly connected to multiple rubber pads 19 at equal intervals. The rubber pads 19 have an anti-slip function to prevent the distributor from shifting during operation, and at the same time play a shock absorption role to reduce the impact of the distributor's vibration on itself and the support surface. Multiple locking blocks 5 engage with corresponding locking slots 7 to realize the quick connection between the fixing plate 6 and the mother plate 4. The locking slots 7 and the corresponding locking blocks 5 are internally slidably connected.
[0037] Specifically, the three-way valve 1 guides and blocks the material passing through it. When tightening the fixing bolt 8, the gasket 17 increases the contact area between the fixing bolt 8 and the mother plate 4, which helps to disperse the pressure of the fixing bolt 8 on the mother plate 4 and prevents damage to the surface of the mother plate 4 due to excessive local pressure. It is used to connect the fixing plate 6 and the mother plate 4. The engagement of the locking block 5 and the locking groove 7 realizes the quick connection between the two. When installing the fixing plate 6, simply align the locking block 5 with the locking groove 7 and insert it for initial fixation.
[0038] Working principle: When using the double-layer openable flip-plate feeder, the locking blocks 5, which are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the rear end of the mother plate 4, cooperate with the locking slots 7, which are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the left and right sides of the fixed plate 6, to achieve a quick and stable connection. This facilitates disassembly during maintenance and greatly reduces the difficulty of maintenance. The multiple fixing bolts 8, which are rotatably connected at equal intervals on the top of the adjacent sides of the two mother plates 4, cooperate with the outer liner 9 to ensure the stability of the structure and facilitate the individual replacement of the liner 9 and other components during maintenance. When it is necessary to adjust the feeding direction, the rotating plate 10 is operated. The rotating plate 10 is fixed at the top of the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 rotates, thereby driving the entire feeding structure to move. The cylinder 11, which is fixedly connected at the top rear end of the rotating plate 10, cooperates with the telescopic rod 13, which is rotatably connected to the rear side of the bracket 12. The bracket 12 is fixed on the top right side of the three-way connector 1. The length of the telescopic rod 13 can be adjusted as needed. Through the rotational connection with the cylinder 11, the rotation angle of the rotating plate 10 and the rotating rod 3 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving control of the feeding direction.
[0039] In actual operation, when it is necessary to lower the height, the operator first loosens the adjusting bolt 205, allowing the support leg 203 to slide downwards within the hollow plate 202 under its own weight. Once the desired height is reached, the adjusting bolt 205 is tightened so that it passes through the corresponding adjusting hole 204 and screws into the reserved hole 206, thereby fixing the support leg 203 in the corresponding position within the hollow plate 202. Conversely, if the distributor needs to be raised, the adjusting bolt 205 is loosened first, then the support leg 203 is pushed upwards to the appropriate height, and finally the adjusting bolt 205 is tightened to complete the fixation.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
