[0028] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-5The image shows an embodiment provided by this utility model.

[0031] This utility model embodiment provides a feeding disc, including: a cylindrical hopper 10, a turntable 20, and a geared motor 30. The turntable 20 is disposed at the inner bottom of the hopper 10. Specifically, a plurality of rolling bearings 18 are arranged around the circumference of the inner bottom of the hopper 10. The rolling bearings 18 roll and abut against the bottom of the turntable 20 respectively. The geared motor 30 is disposed below the hopper 10 and is driven to drive the turntable 20 to rotate. The rolling bearings 18 can reduce the rotational friction between the turntable 20 and the hopper 10, improve the driving efficiency of the geared motor 30, and make the rotation of the turntable 20 smoother.

[0032] Specifically, the hopper 10 is equipped with a gate 11, a discharge plate 12, and a discharge port 13. The discharge port 13 is located on the side wall of the hopper 10. The gate 11 is arc-shaped and fits against the inner side wall of the hopper 10. The rear end of the gate 11 is hinged to the inner side wall of the hopper 10 via a hinge shaft. In practice, a notch can be made directly in the side wall of the hopper 10, and a hinge shaft can be installed in the notch. A connecting shaft hole can be provided at the rear end of the gate 11 for connection. At the same time, the notch can also provide clearance for the swing of the gate 11. The rear end of the discharge plate 12 is movably connected to the front end of the gate 11 and the side wall of the hopper 10, respectively. The front end of the discharge plate 12 extends from the discharge port 13 and is movably connected to the side wall of the hopper 10. In practice, a flat, elongated first connecting ring 121 can be provided at both ends of the discharge plate 12, and a connecting ring 121 can be provided on the outer side wall of the front end of the gate 11. The first and second connecting rings 121 and 121 are both elongated and have holes for bolts to pass through. The two first connecting rings 121 are located on the inner and outer side walls of the discharge plate 12, respectively. Correspondingly, two first connecting posts 101 with internal threads are provided on the outside of the hopper 10. The second connecting post 123 with internal threads is provided on the outer side wall of the rear end of the discharge plate 12. The first connecting rings 121 and the first connecting posts 101 correspond one-to-one and are movably connected by bolts. The second connecting rings 111 and the second connecting posts 123 are movably connected by bolts. By adjusting the tightness of the bolts, the connection position of the first connecting ring 121 with the first connecting post 101 and the connection position of the second connecting ring 111 with the second connecting post 123 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the position of the material gate 11 and the discharge plate 12.

[0033] Furthermore, a gate 14 is formed at a distance between the bottom of the feed gate 11 and the top surface of the turntable 20. A discharge channel 15 is formed between the outer wall of the discharge plate 12 and the inner wall of the hopper 10. The gate 14 is connected to the discharge port 13 via the discharge channel 15. The material in the hopper 10 can enter the discharge channel 15 through the gate 14 and be discharged from the discharge port 13. Swinging the feed gate 11 can drive the discharge plate 12 to move together, thereby adjusting the width of the gate 14 and the discharge channel 15 together. After adopting the above-mentioned feed plate, by movably connecting the feed gate 11, which is hinged at one end in the hopper 10, and the discharge plate 12, which is movably set in the hopper 10, the feed gate 11 and the discharge plate 12 can be linked together, which facilitates the adjustment of the gate 14 and the discharge channel 15 together, and helps to improve production efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, a corner groove 16 is provided on one side of the discharge port 13, extending tangentially to the hopper 10. The corner groove 16 and the front end of the discharge plate 12 form an extension channel 17, which communicates with the discharge channel 15, facilitating the transfer of materials from the discharge port 13 to the next production or processing step. It is worth mentioning that a baffle 122 is provided at the front end of the discharge plate 12, branching inward. The baffle 122 slides against the inner wall of the hopper 10, effectively sealing the discharge port 13 on the outside of the discharge plate 12 and preventing material leakage from the hopper 10.

[0035] Furthermore, the height of the gate 14 is greater than the distance between the bottom of the discharge plate 12 and the top surface of the turntable 20. The height of the gate 14 is adapted to the height of the material to be screened, so that the material can only pass through the gate 14 and cannot pass through the bottom of the discharge plate 12.

[0036] Furthermore, several shims are provided between the bottom of the second connecting ring 111 and the top of the second connecting post 123. The shims are used to adjust the height of the material gate 11. By increasing or decreasing the number of shims, the total thickness of the shims can be adjusted, thereby raising or lowering the material gate 11 to adjust the height of the gate 14. It can be understood that while shims are provided at the bottom of the second connecting ring 111, shims can be added at the connection between the rear end of the material gate 11 and the side wall of the hopper 10 to adjust the height of the rear end of the material gate 11, so that the heights of the two ends of the material gate 11 are consistent.

[0037] Furthermore, the turntable 20 has a curved surface that is high in the middle and low around the edges. The height of the curved surface can generally be set to decrease from the inside to the outside, or remain horizontal after decreasing to a certain height. Several guide ridges 21 are spirally distributed on the turntable 20. The guide ridges 21 extend from the middle of the turntable 20 to the outer edge, forming a guide channel between two adjacent guide ridges 21. The material can slide from the middle of the turntable 20 to the edge of the turntable 20 by its own gravity. With the help of the different friction forces between the materials, between the materials and the surface of the turntable 20, and between the materials and the guide ridges 21, the material in the hopper 10 will be continuously agitated and turned over when the turntable 20 rotates. The material at the bottom will be continuously guided to the gate 14 by the guide ridges 21 and then discharged.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom of the hopper 10 is provided with three support feet 19 at intervals. The three support feet 19 are of the same length, and the lower end of the support feet can also be provided with shock-absorbing foot sleeves that can adjust the height. The three support feet 19 are evenly distributed at intervals, which can provide stable support for the hopper 10.

[0039] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this 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 specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
