Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically a feeding device with a self-rotating function. Background Technology

[0002] Material handling refers to the process of transferring materials from one location to another using various mechanical equipment and technological methods. The materials covered here are broad, including solid materials (such as ores, coal, grains, and plastic granules), liquid materials (such as petroleum, chemical materials, and beverages), and gaseous materials (such as natural gas and industrial waste gas). Material handling is an indispensable and crucial link in many fields such as industrial production, logistics transportation, and construction.

[0003] However, in practical applications, existing technologies often suffer from uneven feeding, material accumulation, and severe equipment wear in material feeding processes. Traditional feeding methods rely on external power to make the feeding components reciprocate or move linearly to transport materials. This method is difficult to achieve smooth feeding for materials that are highly viscous or prone to caking, and it can easily cause material to stagnate and blockage in the feeding device, affecting production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device with a self-rotating function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In the existing material feeding process, commonly used feeding devices such as vibrating feeders and plate feeders mostly suffer from uneven feeding, easy material accumulation, and severe equipment wear. Traditional feeding methods mainly rely on external power to make the feeding components reciprocate or linearly to achieve material conveying. This motion method is difficult to achieve smooth feeding for some highly viscous and easily agglomerated materials, and it is easy to cause material retention and blockage in the feeding device, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a support base and a feeding cylinder. A hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly installed through the middle of the upper end of the support base. A lifting frame is fixedly installed on the telescopic part of the upper top of the hydraulic telescopic rod. Limiting slide rods are fixedly installed at the four corners of the upper surface of the support base. A front support frame and a rear support frame are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the lifting frame, respectively. Limiting rollers are rotatably connected to the inner sides of the front support frame and the rear support frame through pins.

[0006] The front and rear ends of the feeding cylinder are respectively fixedly installed with front roller grooves and rear roller grooves. The front and rear ends of the feeding cylinder are respectively opened with discharge port and inlet port. The inner wall of the feeding cylinder is fixedly installed with a spiral conveying slide for guiding and conveying the material inside the feeding cylinder forward. The top of the lifting frame is supported and fixedly installed with a reduction motor. The front drive shaft of the reduction motor is fixedly installed with a first drive sprocket. The outer end of the first drive sprocket is connected to a second drive sprocket through a chain drive.

[0007] Preferably, the support base is fixedly installed with four support rollers at the four corners of its bottom, and the number of support rollers is four, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the support base. The support rollers are made of lockable rollers.

[0008] Preferably, a power control box and a hydraulic control cylinder are fixedly installed at the lower end of the support base, and a mobile power supply is fixedly installed inside the power control box.

[0009] Preferably, there are four limiting slide rods, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the upper end face of the support base. The outer curved surface of the upper end of the limiting slide rod is connected to the four corners of the lower end of the lifting frame through and fits. A limiting ring is fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the upper end of the limiting slide rod.

[0010] Preferably, there are four front support frames and four rear support frames, with each pair of front and rear support frames forming a group, and the two groups of front and rear support frames are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the upper and lower ends of the lifting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the inner outer curved surface of the limiting roller is respectively fitted and movably connected to the inner wall of the front roller groove and the rear roller groove, and there are several spiral conveying slides, which are symmetrically distributed in sequence along the inner wall of the feeding cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the second transmission sprocket is fixedly mounted on the outer curved surface of the feed cylinder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] When the hydraulic telescopic rod is opened, the lifting frame moves up and down. When the lifting frame moves up and down, it moves linearly up and down along the outer curved surface of the limiting slide rod, so that the lifting frame is limited to move downward linearly by the limiting slide rod. When the lifting frame moves up and down linearly, it will simultaneously drive the feeding cylinder to move up and down linearly. At the same time, by pushing the support base, the feeding cylinder will move back and forth. When the feeding cylinder moves up and down linearly and back and forth, it will drive the inlet and outlet to move to the required feeding position.

[0015] This invention also features a mechanism where, when material is fed into the feeding cylinder, a reduction motor is activated. When the reduction motor is activated, it drives the first transmission sprocket to rotate. This rotation, in turn, drives the second transmission sprocket via a chain drive. The second transmission sprocket, in turn, drives the feeding cylinder to rotate. As the feeding cylinder rotates, limiting rollers, along with front and rear roller grooves, provide rolling support and limit the movement of the feeding cylinder. Simultaneously, the rotation of the feeding cylinder drives the spiral conveyor to rotate. When the spiral conveyor rotates, the material inside the feeding cylinder is pushed forward by the rotation of the spiral conveyor. The rotation of the feeding cylinder also causes the material to tumble and tumble, loosening any clumps and allowing it to be discharged through the outlet. This allows the feeding cylinder to continuously and stably feed material through its own rotation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a feeding device with a self-rotating function: it includes a support base 1 and a feeding cylinder 2. Support rollers 3 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support base 1, and there are four support rollers 3, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the support base 1. The support rollers 3 are made of lockable rolling type, so that the support base 1 can be pushed and moved by the support rollers 3 while being locked and fixed. A power control box and a hydraulic control cylinder are fixedly installed at the lower end of the support base 1, and a mobile power supply is fixedly installed inside the power control box.

[0022] A hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is fixedly installed through the middle of the upper end of the support base 1. A lifting frame 5 is fixedly installed on the telescopic part of the top of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4. Limiting slide rods 6 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the upper end face of the support base 1. There are four limiting slide rods 6, which are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the upper end face of the support base 1. The outer curved surface of the upper end of the limiting slide rod 6 is connected to the four corners of the lower end of the lifting frame 5 through and fits. A limiting ring is fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the top end of the limiting slide rod 6, so that the lifting frame 5 can be limited to move downward in a straight line through the limiting slide rod 6. A front support frame 7 and a rear support frame 8 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the lifting frame 5, respectively. There are four front support frames 7 and four rear support frames 8. Every two front support frames 7 and rear support frames 8 form a group. The two groups of front support frames 7 and rear support frames 8 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the upper and lower ends of the lifting frame 5. The inner sides of the front support frames 7 and rear support frames 8 are rotatably connected to the limiting rollers 9 through pins.

[0023] The front and rear outer curved surfaces of the feeding cylinder 2 are respectively fixedly installed with a front roller groove 10 and a rear roller groove 11. The inner outer curved surfaces of the limiting roller 9 are respectively attached to the inner walls of the front roller groove 10 and the rear roller groove 11, so that the feeding cylinder 2 is limited and rolled by the limiting roller 9 in conjunction with the front roller groove 10 and the rear roller groove 11. The front and rear ends of the feeding cylinder 2 are respectively provided with a discharge port 13 and a feed port 12. The inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2 is fixedly installed with a spiral conveying slide 14 for guiding and conveying the material inside the feeding cylinder 2 forward. There are several spiral conveying slides 14, which are symmetrically distributed in sequence on the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2. The top of the lifting frame 5 is fixedly supported and installed with a reduction motor 15. The front drive shaft of the reduction motor 15 is fixedly installed with a first drive sprocket 16. The outer end of the first drive sprocket 16 is connected to a second drive sprocket 17 through chain drive. The second drive sprocket 17 is fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the feeding cylinder 2.

[0024] Working principle: In use, this utility model controls the opening of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is opened, it will drive the lifting frame 5 to move up and down. When the lifting frame 5 moves up and down, it will move vertically up and down along the outer curved surface of the limiting slide rod 6, so that the lifting frame 5 is limited to move downward in a straight line by the limiting slide rod 6. When the lifting frame 5 moves vertically up and down, it will simultaneously drive the feeding cylinder 2 to move vertically up and down. At the same time, by pushing the support base 1, when the support base 1 is pushed, it will drive the feeding cylinder 2 to move back and forth. When the feeding cylinder 2 moves vertically up and down and moves back and forth, it will drive the inlet 12 and the outlet 13 to move to the required feeding position.

[0025] When the inlet 12 and outlet 13 move to the desired feeding position, the required material is fed into the feeding cylinder 2 through the inlet 12. When the material is fed into the feeding cylinder 2, the reduction motor 15 is activated. When the reduction motor 15 is activated, it drives the first transmission sprocket 16 to rotate. When the first transmission sprocket 16 rotates, it drives the second transmission sprocket 17 to rotate via chain drive. When the second transmission sprocket 17 rotates, it drives the feeding cylinder 2 to rotate. When the feeding cylinder 2 rotates, it is stopped by the limit roller 9. The front roller groove 10 and the rear roller groove 11 provide limiting rolling support for the feed cylinder 2. At the same time, when the feed cylinder 2 rotates, it will drive the screw conveyor slide 14 to rotate. When the screw conveyor slide 14 rotates, the material inside the feed cylinder 2 will be pushed forward under the rotation of the screw conveyor slide 14. At the same time, the rotation of the feed cylinder 2 will drive the material to rotate and tumble, so that the lumpy material will be loosened by tumbling and discharged forward through the discharge port 13. Thus, the feed cylinder 2 can continuously and stably feed the material by rotating.
