AI Technical Summary
In the traditional ring bucket feeder's walking mechanism, the walking wheels, which are far from the center of the feeder body, are prone to damage due to their long walking distance, have a short service life, and are prone to deviating when turning.
The outer diameter of the first traveling wheel is larger than that of the second traveling wheel. The first traveling wheel contacts the first track line, and the second traveling wheel contacts the second track line. The central axes of the two are collinear by adjusting the track height. Mounting plates are set at both ends of the connecting shaft for fixation. This reduces energy loss and deviation when the feeder body rotates.
It extends the service life of the first bearing and the first traveling wheel, reduces energy consumption, and improves the stability of the feeder when turning.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of walking mechanisms, and in particular to a walking mechanism for a ring bucket feeder. Background Technology
[0002] The calcium carbide furnace is the main equipment for producing calcium carbide. Inside the furnace, the high temperature generated by the electric arc causes the furnace charge to melt and react, producing calcium carbide. During processing, the mixture is added to the furnace through the inlet or pipe at the top of the furnace and heated to about 2000°C in an open or closed furnace to react and produce calcium carbide.
[0003] In related technologies, a ring bucket feeder includes a feeder body, a drive device, a walking mechanism, and a hopper. The walking mechanism is installed below the feeder body, the drive device drives the feeder body to rotate, and the hopper is installed at the center of the feeder body. The bottom of the hopper is provided with a discharge port, which distributes material during the movement of the feeder body.
[0004] Traditionally, the traveling mechanism includes a connecting shaft and traveling wheels connected to both ends of the connecting shaft. The traveling wheels are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft through bearings. The two traveling wheels have the same diameter. Since the traveling wheel farther from the center of the feeder body needs to travel a longer distance, it rotates more times. As a result, the bearings and traveling wheels are more prone to damage and have a shorter service life. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a walking mechanism for a ring bucket feeder.
[0006] The technical solution for the walking mechanism of the ring bucket feeder provided in this application is as follows:
[0007] A walking mechanism for a ring bucket feeder includes a connecting shaft, a first walking wheel, and a second walking wheel. The first and second walking wheels are respectively sleeved on both ends of the connecting shaft and rotatably connected to the connecting shaft. The first walking wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft via a first bearing, and the second walking wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft via a second bearing. The first walking wheel is further away from the center of the feeder body than the second walking wheel. The outer diameter of the first walking wheel is larger than the outer diameter of the second walking wheel. A first track is provided below the first walking wheel, and a second track is provided below the second walking wheel. The height of the first track is lower than the height of the second track.
[0008] Preferably, mounting plates are provided at both ends of the connecting shaft. The mounting plates are located on the side away from each other of the first traveling wheel and the second traveling wheel. The mounting plates include a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The vertical plate is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft. The horizontal plate is integrally formed on the top of the vertical plate and extends in a direction away from each other. The horizontal plate is connected to the bottom wall of the feeder body by screws.
[0009] Preferably, the outer peripheral walls of the first and second wheels are inclined surfaces, with the inclined surface of the first wheel sloping downwards in a direction away from and closer to the second wheel, and the inclined surface of the second wheel sloping downwards in a direction away from and closer to the first wheel.
[0010] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0011] 1. The outer diameter of the first traveling wheel is set to be larger than that of the second traveling wheel. The outer diameter of the first traveling wheel is designed by calculation based on the actual situation, so that the number of rotations of the first traveling wheel and the second traveling wheel are the same. Compared with the traditional method, the first bearing and the first traveling wheel are not easily damaged, thus improving the service life of the first bearing and the first traveling wheel.
[0012] 2. The first traveling wheel is in line contact with the first track, and the second traveling wheel is in line contact with the second track, which reduces energy loss and makes it less likely for the feeder body to deviate when turning. Attached Figure Description

[0019] This application discloses a walking mechanism for a ring bucket feeder.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 The walking mechanism of the ring bucket feeder includes a connecting shaft 1, a first walking wheel 2, and a second walking wheel 3. The first walking wheel 2 and the second walking wheel 3 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the connecting shaft 1 and rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 1. The first walking wheel 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 1 through a first bearing 4. The inner ring of the first bearing 4 is fixed to the connecting shaft 1, and the outer ring of the first bearing 4 is fixed to the first walking wheel 2. The second walking wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 1 through a second bearing 5. The inner ring of the second bearing 5 is fixed to the connecting shaft 1, and the outer ring of the second bearing 5 is fixed to the second walking wheel 3. The first walking wheel 2 is further away from the center of the feeder body than the second walking wheel 3. The outer diameter of the first walking wheel 2 is larger than that of the second walking wheel 3. The outer diameter of the first walking wheel 2 is designed based on actual conditions to ensure that the number of rotations of the first walking wheel 2 is the same as that of the second walking wheel 3. Compared with the traditional method, the first bearing 4 and the first walking wheel 2 are less prone to damage, thus improving their service life.
[0021] A first track 6 is provided below the first traveling wheel 2, and a second track 7 is provided below the second traveling wheel 3. The height of the first track 6 is lower than the height of the second track 7 to accommodate the heights of the first traveling wheel 2 and the second traveling wheel 3, so that the central axis of the first traveling wheel 2 and the central axis of the second traveling wheel 3 are collinear.
[0022] Mounting plates 8 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting shaft 1. The mounting plates 8 are located on the side away from each other of the first traveling wheel 2 and the second traveling wheel 3. The mounting plates 8 include a vertical plate 81 and a horizontal plate 82. The vertical plate 81 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 1. The horizontal plate 82 is integrally formed on the top of the vertical plate 81. The horizontal plate 82 extends in the direction away from each other. The horizontal plate 82 is connected to the bottom wall of the feeder body by screws, so that the connecting shaft 1 is fixed to the feeder body.
[0023] The outer peripheral walls of the first traveling wheel 2 and the second traveling wheel 3 are inclined. The inclined surface of the first traveling wheel 2 slopes downward in the direction away from and closer to the second traveling wheel 3, and the inclined surface of the second traveling wheel 3 slopes downward in the same direction. The first traveling wheel 2 is in line contact with the first track 6, and the second traveling wheel 3 is in line contact with the second track 7, reducing energy loss and making it less likely for the feeder body to deviate when turning.
[0024] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
