For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an anti-clogging spiral conveying device includes: a first conveying cylinder 1, a first conveying structure 2, a reverse cutting structure 3, a second conveying cylinder 4, a second conveying structure 5, and a connecting locking structure 6.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the first feeding cylinder 1 includes a first cylinder body 101, a feed inlet 102, a first mating interface 103, and a sealing gasket 104. The feed inlet 102 is located at the top left end of the first cylinder body 101, and a cover 1021 is provided at the top of the feed inlet 102 via a rotating shaft. The first mating interface 103 is located at the right end of the first cylinder body 101, and the sealing gasket 104 is located at the right end of the first mating interface 103. Several support feet are provided at the bottom of the first cylinder body 101. The feed inlet 102 is located at the top of the first cylinder body 101 to facilitate material input. The cover 1021 is opened and closed via a rotating shaft to prevent foreign objects from entering or dust from overflowing. The sealing gasket 104 ensures a tight seal during docking to prevent material leakage.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the first conveying structure 2 includes a first motor 201, a drive gear 202, a driven gear 203, and a first spiral propulsion shaft 204. The drive gear 202 is located on the outer side of the left end of the first cylinder 101. The drive shaft of the first motor 201 is connected to the drive gear 202. The first spiral propulsion shaft 204 is located inside the first cylinder 101. The left end of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204 passes through and extends out of the right sidewall of the first cylinder 101. The driven gear 203 is located on the left end of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204. The drive gear 202 meshes with the driven gear 203 for transmission. The first motor 201 provides power to drive the spiral propulsion shaft to rotate. The drive gear 202 meshes with the driven gear 203 to transmit the motor power to the first spiral propulsion shaft 204.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the first helical propulsion shaft 204 is a variable-diameter helical shaft, with its diameter gradually narrowing from left to right. The diameter of the first cylinder 101 also gradually narrows from left to right, matching the diameter change of the first helical propulsion shaft 204. The gradual reduction in diameter of the first helical propulsion shaft 204 from left to right, together with the correspondingly narrowing first cylinder 101, forms a compression chamber. This allows the material to be gradually pressurized during transport, eliminating material backflow caused by insufficient pressure in traditional constant-diameter helical shafts. Furthermore, the high pressure at the end enhances the material's fluidity.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the reverse cutting structure 3 includes a second motor 301, a drive shaft 302, and a cutting blade 303. The drive shaft 302 is mounted inside the first spiral propulsion shaft 204 via bearings. The second motor 301 is located at the left end of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204. One end of the drive shaft 302 is connected to the drive shaft of the second motor 301, and the other end is connected to the cutting blade 303. The rotation direction of the cutting blade 303 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204. The drive shaft 302 is nested inside the first spiral propulsion shaft 204 to achieve power transmission and space optimization, ensuring that the reverse rotation of the cutting blade 303 driven by the second motor 301 and the forward rotation of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204 do not interfere with each other. The reverse rotation of the cutting blade 303 and the first spiral propulsion shaft 204 generates shearing force, directly cutting entangled fibers or sticky materials.
[0028] The second conveying cylinder 4 is provided with the second conveying structure 5 inside, and the first conveying cylinder 1 and the second conveying cylinder 4 are connected by the connecting locking structure 6.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second conveying cylinder 4 includes a second cylinder body 401, a discharge port 402, and a second connecting port 403. The discharge port 402 is located at the right end of the second cylinder body 401, and the second connecting port 403 is located at the left end of the second cylinder body 401. The first connecting port 103 of the first conveying cylinder 1 matches and corresponds to the second connecting port 403 of the second conveying cylinder 4. The second cylinder body 401 connects to the first conveying cylinder, extending the conveying path; the discharge port 402 discharges material at the end of the second cylinder body 401 and can also be connected to other equipment.
[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second conveying structure 5 includes a third motor 501 and a second spiral propulsion shaft 502. The third motor 501 is located on the outer side of the right end of the second cylinder 401, and the second spiral propulsion shaft 502 is located inside the second cylinder 401. The drive shaft of the third motor 501 passes through the right sidewall of the second cylinder 401 and is connected to the second spiral propulsion shaft 502. The spiral direction of the second spiral propulsion shaft 502 is the same as that of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204, and the rotation direction of the second spiral propulsion shaft 502 is the same as that of the first spiral propulsion shaft 204. The second spiral propulsion shaft 502 rotates in the same direction as the first spiral propulsion shaft 204, ensuring that the material flow direction is consistent and maintaining continuous material conveying. The segmented relay conveying also avoids the risk of insufficient torque or blockage caused by an excessively long single spiral shaft.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the second helical propulsion shaft 502 is a variable-diameter helical shaft, with its diameter gradually widening from left to right. The diameter of the second cylinder 401 also gradually widens from left to right, matching the diameter variation of the second helical propulsion shaft 502. The gradual increase in diameter of the second helical propulsion shaft 502, together with the co-widening second cylinder 401, forms an expansion cavity, releasing material and preventing blockage.
[0033] like Figure 7As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting locking structure 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 601, a pressure plate 602, a first wedge block 603, and a second wedge block 604. The hydraulic cylinder 601 is disposed at the top right end of the first cylinder 101, and the top of the hydraulic cylinder 601 is connected to the bottom left end of the pressure plate 602. The bottom right end of the pressure plate 602 is provided with the first wedge block 603, and the second wedge block 604 is disposed at the top left end of the second cylinder 401. The normal of the long inclined surface of the first wedge block 603 points to the lower left, and the long inclined surface of the second wedge block 604 can fit against the long inclined surface of the first wedge block 603. The hydraulic cylinder 601 provides power to drive the two wedge blocks to lock together, and the hydraulic drive can achieve one-click locking and separation, saving maintenance time; the long inclined surface of the first wedge block 603 and the long inclined surface of the second wedge block 604 fit together to generate a self-locking force, thereby fixing the two sections of the conveyor cylinder, preventing vibration and loosening, and ensuring a stable connection; and the hydraulic drive can achieve one-click locking and separation, saving maintenance time.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the reverse cutting structure 3 has two cutting blades 303. The cutting blades 303 are connected to the drive shaft 302 through a sleeve. The two cutting blades 303 are distributed at an alternating angle, which can enhance the cutting coverage and avoid material residue.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, an anti-clogging screw conveyor further includes an observation window 7, which is provided on both the first cylinder 101 and the second cylinder 401. The observation window 7 is preferably made of wear-resistant glass or resin material, allowing for real-time monitoring of the material conveying status within the cylinder and facilitating the detection of blockages or abnormalities.
