It can also crush lumps that have agglomerated during storage or formed during chemical processing.

[0003] When a high-speed gyratory pellet mill is feeding material, it is generally necessary to replace the next set of receiving boxes after one set of receiving boxes is full. This process requires stopping the machine, placing the next set of receiving boxes, and then restarting the machine, which affects production efficiency and has certain adverse effects on users. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a high-speed granulation gyratory pellet mill to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a high-speed granulation swing pellet mill.

[0005] The high-speed granulation swing pellet mill provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-speed granulation swing pellet mill includes a swing pellet mill body, a base is fixedly connected to one side of the swing pellet mill body, two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened inside the base, and a support component and a pressure sensor are respectively arranged inside the two limiting grooves. Multiple support components are arranged around the pressure sensor.

[0007] There are two material loading boxes, each located above one of the two pressure sensors.

[0008] The guide hopper is located on the main body of the oscillating pellet mill. The lower part of the guide hopper extends obliquely to both sides above the feeding box, so as to facilitate the material particles to enter the two feeding boxes.

[0009] A guiding component, which is disposed inside the guide hopper, is used to guide the granular material falling inside the guide hopper.

[0010] In some embodiments, the guiding assembly includes a fixed block, a motor, a drive shaft, bevel gears, and a guide plate. The fixed block is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the guide hopper. One side of the drive shaft passes through the fixed block and the guide hopper and is rotatably inserted into the guide hopper. A motor is fixedly connected above the fixed block. Bevel gears are fixedly connected to the output end of the motor and the surface of the drive shaft. The two bevel gears mesh with each other. The guide plate is fixed to the surface of the drive shaft and swings inside the guide hopper. One side of the guide plate extends upward.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner walls on both sides of the feed hopper are symmetrically provided with grooves, and the two grooves cooperate with the extension of the guide plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, multiple support components include a spring, a support block, a support column, and a sealing ring located inside the limiting groove. The spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base. The upper part of the spring is supported by the support block for the loading box. The support column is sleeved on the surface of the spring. The upper and lower sides of the sealing ring are fixedly connected to the support block and the support column, respectively.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a limiting post located inside the support post, wherein the outer wall of the support block slides against the inner wall of the limiting post to increase the stability of the support block during the lifting and lowering process.

[0014] In some embodiments, a data transmitter is fixedly connected above the motor, and the data transmitter is electrically connected to the pressure sensor below.

[0015] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] (1) The granular products will enter the interior of the guide hopper through the discharge port of the oscillating pellet mill body. There are two outlets at the bottom of the guide hopper. The guide component will close one of the discharge ports of the guide hopper, so that the granular products will only fall from one channel of the guide hopper. The loading box below the discharge port of the guide hopper will collect the granular products. When the weight of the granular products inside one of the loading boxes increases, the loading box will press down on the support component, and the support component will retract downward. When the bottom of the loading box contacts the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor will transmit a signal to the guide component. The guide component will start and close the other discharge channel of the guide hopper. The granular products will enter the interior of the other loading box through the other outlet of the guide hopper. The worker will replace the full loading box. This design allows the oscillating pellet mill body to replace the loading box without stopping, which avoids the scattering of granular products as much as possible and greatly increases the working efficiency of the oscillating pellet mill body.

[0017] (2) The fixing block is fixed on the outer wall of the guide hopper. When the worker needs to change the position of the guide plate, the output end of the motor will drive a bevel gear to rotate. The bevel gear will drive another bevel gear and the transmission shaft to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft will cause the guide plate to swing inside the guide hopper. The guide plate is located at the inlet end of the two discharge ports. When the guide plate tilts to one side, the discharge port on the tilted side of the guide plate will be closed. The granular products will slide into the other discharge port through the surface of the guide plate, which greatly facilitates the worker to change the discharge port and makes it easier for the granular products to fall in.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-4.

[0024] This application discloses a high-speed granulation swing pellet mill. Referring to Figures 1-4, a high-speed granulation swing pellet mill includes a swing pellet mill body 1, a feeding box 5, a guide hopper 6, and a guide assembly 7. A base 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the swing pellet mill body 1. Two limiting grooves 21 are symmetrically opened inside the base 2. A support assembly 3 and a pressure sensor 4 are respectively arranged inside the two limiting grooves 21. Multiple support assemblies 3 are arranged around the pressure sensor 4. There are two feeding boxes 5, which are respectively located above the two pressure sensors 4. The guide hopper 6 is arranged on the swing pellet mill body 1. The lower part of the guide hopper 6 extends obliquely to both sides above the feeding boxes 5 to facilitate the entry of material particles into the two feeding boxes 5. The guide assembly 7 is arranged inside the guide hopper 6 and is used to guide the granular material falling into the guide hopper 6.

[0025] In this way, when workers need to process powder into granules, they first pour the powder into the interior of the oscillating pellet mill body 1. The oscillating pellet mill body 1 is a piece of equipment used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. It is mainly used to convert powdered materials into granular products through oscillation and granulation. The granular products will enter the interior of the guide hopper 6 through the discharge port of the oscillating pellet mill body 1. The bottom of the guide hopper 6 has two outlets. The guide component 7 will close one of the discharge ports of the guide hopper 6, so that the granular products will only fall from one channel of the guide hopper 6. The loading box 5 below the discharge port of the guide hopper 6 will collect the granular products.

[0026] When the weight of the granules inside one of the feeding boxes 5 increases, the feeding box 5 will exert downward pressure on the support component 3, causing the support component 3 to retract downward. When the bottom of the feeding box 5 comes into contact with the pressure sensor 4, the pressure sensor 4 will transmit a signal to the guide component 7. The guide component 7 will then close the other discharge channel of the guide hopper 6, and the granules will enter the interior of the other feeding box 5 through the other outlet of the guide hopper 6. The worker will then replace the full feeding box 5. This design allows for the replacement of the feeding boxes 5 without stopping the oscillating pellet mill body 1, minimizing the scattering of granules and greatly increasing the working efficiency of the oscillating pellet mill body 1.

[0027] The guide assembly 7 includes a fixed block 71, a motor 72, a transmission shaft 73, a bevel gear 74, and a guide plate 75. The fixed block 71 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the guide hopper 6. One side of the transmission shaft 73 passes through the fixed block 71 and the guide hopper 6 and is rotatably inserted into the guide hopper 6. The motor 72 is fixedly connected above the fixed block 71. The output end of the motor 72 and the surface of the transmission shaft 73 are both fixedly connected to the bevel gear 74. The two bevel gears 74 mesh with each other. The guide plate 75 is fixed on the surface of the transmission shaft 73 and swings inside the guide hopper 6. One side of the guide plate 75 extends upward.

[0028] The fixing block 71 is fixed on the outer wall of the guide hopper 6. When the worker needs to change the position of the guide plate 75, the output end of the motor 72 will drive a bevel gear 74 to rotate. The bevel gear 74 will drive another bevel gear 74 and the transmission shaft 73 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 73 will cause the guide plate 75 to swing inside the guide hopper 6. The guide plate 75 is located at the inlet end of the two discharge ports. When the guide plate 75 tilts to one side, the discharge port on the tilted side of the guide plate 75 will be closed. The granular products will slide into the other discharge port through the surface of the guide plate 75, which greatly facilitates the worker to change the discharge port and makes it easier for the granular products to fall in.

[0029] Preferably, the inner walls of the two sides of the guide hopper 6 are symmetrically provided with grooves 61. The two grooves 61 cooperate with the extension of the guide plate 75. The shape of the guide plate 75 matches the internal shape of the groove 61. When the top of the guide plate 75 is tilted, the top of the guide plate 75 will enter the interior of the groove 61, increasing the fit between the guide plate 75 and the guide hopper 6, so that the material can smoothly slide down the surface of the guide plate 75.

[0030] Specifically, each of the multiple support components 3 includes a spring 31, a support block 32, a support column 33, and a sealing ring 34 located inside the limiting groove 21. The spring 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 2. The upper part of the spring 31 is supported by the support block 32 to support the loading box 5. The support column 33 is sleeved on the surface of the spring 31. The upper and lower sides of the sealing ring 34 are fixedly connected to the support block 32 and the support column 33, respectively.

[0031] When the filling box 5 is empty, the four springs 31 support the support block 32 at the bottom of the filling box 5. The top of the support block 32 fits against the bottom of the filling box 5, so that the filling box 5 is above the pressure sensor 4, and there is a gap between the pressure sensor 4 and the filling box 5. When the filling box 5 starts to be filled, the downward pressure of the filling box 5 is greater than the supporting force of the four springs 31, and the filling box 5 will slowly descend. When the filling box 5 contacts the pressure sensor 4, the pressure sensor 4 will transmit a signal outward. This eliminates the need for workers to constantly monitor the filling box 5, reducing the workload of workers. The sealing ring 34 is used to seal the inside of the support block 32 and the support column 33, reducing the contact between air and the springs 31 and increasing the service life of the springs 31.

[0032] More specifically, the support component 3 also includes a limiting post 35, which is located inside the support post 33. The outer wall of the support block 32 slides against the inner wall of the limiting post 35 to increase the stability of the support block 32 during the lifting process.

[0033] The outer wall of the limiting post 35 is in contact with the inner wall of the support post 33. When the support block 32 slides inside the support post 33, the limiting post 35 will limit the support block 32, increasing the stability of the support block 32 during the lifting and lowering process.

[0034] In further implementation, a data transmitter 76 is fixedly connected to the top of the motor 72. The data transmitter 76 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 4 below. A controller is installed inside the data transmitter 76. The motor 72 is remotely controlled through the data transmitter 76. The electrical connection between the data transmitter 76 and the pressure sensor 4 can increase the accuracy of the time for workers to replace the material box 5.

[0035] The implementation principle of a high-speed granulation swing pellet mill according to this application embodiment is as follows: When a worker needs to process powder into pellets, the worker first pours the powder into the interior of the swing pellet mill body 1. The swing pellet mill body 1 is a device used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, mainly used to convert powdered materials into granular products through swinging and granulation. The granular products enter the interior of the guide hopper 6 through the discharge port of the swing pellet mill body 1. The guide hopper 6 has two outlets at the bottom. The guide component 7 closes one of the discharge ports of the guide hopper 6, so that the granular products only fall from one channel of the guide hopper 6. The loading box 5 below the discharge port of the guide hopper 6 collects the granular products. When one of the discharge ports is closed, the granular products fall into the guide hopper 6. When the weight of the granules inside the feeding box 5 increases, the feeding box 5 will exert downward pressure on the support component 3, causing the support component 3 to retract downward. When the bottom of the feeding box 5 comes into contact with the pressure sensor 4, the pressure sensor 4 will transmit a signal to the guide component 7. The guide component 7 will then close the other discharge channel of the guide hopper 6, and the granules will enter the interior of another feeding box 5 through the other outlet of the guide hopper 6. The worker will then replace the full feeding box 5. This design allows for the replacement of the feeding boxes 5 without stopping the oscillating pellet mill body 1, minimizing the scattering of granules and greatly increasing the working efficiency of the oscillating pellet mill body 1.
