Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco machinery technology, specifically to a discharge distributor for a dust collector's discharge airlock. Background Technology

[0002] Dust collection equipment is widely used in the tobacco industry, mainly for collecting smoke, tobacco dust, tobacco stalks, tobacco fragments, etc., from the production site. These materials are conveyed by air to the dust collector in the dust collection room, and then fall into the collection pipe below under gravity through the airlock for further processing. The dust collector feeder is an airlock structure, and the airlock is connected to the square pipe below via a flange.

[0003] When the production sample fumes or dust collector malfunction, the flue gas needs to be manually removed from below the airlock. The original design involved setting up an inspection port on a square pipe, removing the cover plate, and then inserting a stainless steel inclined plate to allow the flue gas to slide through the plate into the receiving and transfer box. After removing the flue gas, the inclined plate needed to be removed, and the inspection port cover plate reinstalled. This method was inefficient. Furthermore, when the airlock was clogged, manually clearing it posed a safety hazard because the discharge port was too close to the airlock, potentially causing hand injuries. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a discharge distributor for a dust collector's discharge airlock, which can quickly switch between manual material receiving and automatic collection. After use, it can reduce the labor intensity of manual material receiving, improve material receiving efficiency, and reduce safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A discharge distributor for a dust collector's discharge airlock includes a shaped discharge pipe with a top inlet, a bottom outlet, and a side outlet. Inside the shaped discharge pipe is a tilting plate. Under normal discharge conditions, the tilting plate is in a vertical position, allowing dust to enter the pipe from the top inlet and fall directly into the dust collection pipe below through the bottom outlet. When the airlock becomes clogged and needs clearing, the tilting plate tilts to an inclined position, contacting the inner wall of the shaped discharge pipe to prevent dust from falling into the dust collection pipe and guide the dust out through the side outlet, facilitating manual material handling.

[0007] As a further implementation, the shaped discharge tube is provided with a flipping shaft, and one end of the flipping plate is fixedly connected to the flipping shaft.

[0008] As a further implementation, the tilting shaft is located at the bottom of the shaped discharge tube, and one end of the tilting shaft is equipped with a worm gear mechanism to drive the tilting plate to rotate.

[0009] As a further implementation, the worm gear mechanism is mounted on the outside of the shaped feed tube via a fixed bracket, and the worm gear mechanism is connected to a drive handwheel.

[0010] As a further implementation, the worm gear mechanism includes a worm wheel and a worm gear that are meshed together. The worm wheel is connected to the flap shaft by a flat key, and the end of the worm gear is coaxially connected to the drive handwheel.

[0011] As a further implementation, the tilting shaft is connected to the shaped discharge tube via a bearing; bearing fixing plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the shaped discharge tube, and the bearing is installed inside the bearing fixing plates.

[0012] As a further implementation, the flipping plate and the shaped discharge tube are made of stainless steel.

[0013] As a further implementation, an observation window is provided on the back of the shaped discharge tube to facilitate observation of the discharge status.

[0014] As a further implementation, the side feed inlet is provided with a detachable sealing valve.

[0015] As a further implementation, flanges are provided on the outer sides of both the top inlet and the bottom outlet for connection to the upper outlet airlock and the lower dust collection pipe, respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model achieves rapid switching between automatic dust collection and manual material receiving by using a flip plate, effectively reducing the labor intensity of manual material receiving and improving material receiving efficiency.

[0018] 2. When material blockage occurs and manual unblocking is required, the larger structural size of the material distributor of this utility model facilitates the use of tools to unblock the material drop airlock, and increases the distance, which can prevent people from touching the airlock and reduce safety hazards.

[0019] 3. This utility model adopts worm gear transmission, which is relatively labor-saving and easy to operate. At the same time, it has a self-locking property to prevent reverse rotation, which can ensure the locking of the position of the flip plate and improve the reliability of the material distributor.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] In one typical embodiment of this application, a discharge distributor for a dust collector's discharge airlock is provided, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the device includes a 1-shaped discharge pipe 1, which includes a top inlet 2, a bottom outlet 3, and a side outlet 4. The 1-shaped discharge pipe 1 is equipped with a flipping plate 5. Under normal discharge conditions, the flipping plate is in a vertical position, and the dust enters the 1-shaped discharge pipe from the top inlet and falls directly into the dust collection pipe below through the bottom outlet. When a blockage occurs and needs to be cleared, the flipping plate flips to an inclined position and contacts the inner wall of the 1-shaped discharge pipe, preventing the dust from falling into the dust collection pipe and guiding the dust to flow out from the side outlet, which is convenient for manual material collection.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the discharge distributor is installed between the material discharge airlock of the dust collector and the dust collection pipe below, such as... Figure 1As shown, the 1-shaped discharge pipe 1 serves as the main body of the discharge distributor, and its interior includes a vertical cavity and an inclined cavity on the side. The 1-shaped discharge pipe has three openings: a top inlet 2, a bottom outlet 3, and a side distribution outlet 4. Flanges are provided on the outer sides of both the top inlet 2 and the bottom outlet 3, and the 1-shaped discharge pipe is connected to the upper discharge airlock and the lower dust collection pipe respectively through these flanges.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a tilting shaft 6 is provided at the bottom of the internal cavity of the shaped feed tube 1. A tilting plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the tilting shaft 6, which can switch the tilting plate between a vertical and tilted state. The tilting shaft 6 is mounted inside the shaped feed tube 1 via bearings 8 at both ends and can rotate relative to each other. Figure 1 As shown, bearing fixing plates 9 are provided on both outer walls of the shaped feed tube 1. Bearings 8 are mounted on the bearing fixing plates 9 and are rotatably connected to the tilting shaft 6. A transmission mechanism is installed at one end of the tilting shaft to drive the tilting plate to rotate and achieve self-locking.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transmission structure adopts a worm gear mechanism, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the worm gear mechanism 10 is installed on one side of the material discharge tube 1 via a fixed bracket 11. The worm gear mechanism 10 includes a meshing worm wheel and a worm. The worm wheel is connected to the tilting shaft 6 via a flat key. The end of the worm is coaxially connected to a drive handwheel 12. The drive handwheel can drive the worm to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel drives the tilting shaft via the flat key, thereby driving the tilting plate to rotate and realizing the change of material flow direction.

[0031] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , 2 As shown, during normal material feeding, the tilting plate 5 is in a vertical position on the side of the side feed port. After the dust enters the shaped feed pipe 1 from the top feed port 2, it falls directly into the dust collection pipe below through the bottom discharge port 3 under the action of gravity. When the material feeding airlock is blocked and needs to be cleared or manual material receiving is required, the drive handwheel 12 is turned clockwise, which drives the tilting shaft 6 to rotate through the worm gear mechanism 10. The tilting shaft 6 drives the tilting plate 5 to rotate, and the tilting plate 5 changes from a vertical position to an inclined state. The material is guided by the tilting and flows out from the side feed port 4 and falls into the manual material receiving box, which greatly facilitates manual material receiving and reduces labor intensity.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shaped discharge pipe and the tilting plate are made of stainless steel. Of course, in other embodiments, the material of the tilting plate and the shaped discharge pipe is not limited to stainless steel; any food-grade material with corrosion resistance is acceptable.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, an observation window 13 is provided on the back of the shaped discharge pipe for easy observation of the discharge status. In addition, a detachable sealing valve 7 is provided at the side discharge port 4, which can block the side discharge port 4 during normal discharge to prevent smoke and dust from flowing out and keep it clean. When manual unblocking or material receiving is required, the sealing valve can be easily removed to allow smoke and dust to flow into the manual material receiving box.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
