Description
A new type of overhead silo feeder Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blast furnace elevated material silo technology, specifically a new type of elevated material silo distributor. Background Technology
[0002] The blast furnace overhead charging silo is a crucial component of blast furnace ironmaking, serving to store materials and supply finished products to the blast furnace. Typically, the overhead charging silo is approximately 8 meters long, 8 meters wide, and over 11 meters high, with a wear-resistant lining inside. Material is fed in via an overhead unloading trolley. The trolley's belt conveyor and side chutes, moving intermittently, push the material into two feed inlets, each approximately 7 meters long and 700 mm wide, on the top of the overhead charging silo. Originally, these 7m x 700mm feed inlets were fitted with welded metal grates. Material falls from the side chutes of the overhead unloading trolley, passes through the metal grates, and then falls freely into the 11-meter-high overhead charging silo below.
[0003] However, when the existing elevated silos are in use, the materials poured out of the unloading trolley directly impact the metal grating, causing rapid wear of the metal grating, which increases the workload of maintenance and the cost of manpower and materials. At the same time, the impact of the materials causes splashing and spillage at the hopper opening, resulting in a large amount of dust. This serious dust pollution is detrimental to the health of on-site employees and also increases the workload of dust collection.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a new type of elevated silo material distributor is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of elevated silo material distributor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In the prior art, when materials are poured out of the unloading trolley from the elevated silo, they directly impact the metal grid, causing rapid wear of the metal grid, increasing maintenance workload, and increasing manpower and material costs. At the same time, the impact of materials causes splashing and material spillage at the trough opening, resulting in a large amount of dust, which is detrimental to the health of on-site employees and also increases the workload of dust collection.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel elevated silo material distributor, comprising: a silo body;
[0007] A receiving plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body, and a ceramic lining plate is laid on the top surface of the receiving plate. A through hole is opened on the top surface of the silo body.
[0008] The silo body is equipped with a connecting structure, which includes an L-shaped plate. The L-shaped plate is fixedly welded to both ends of the front and rear walls of the silo body. A fixing plate is installed on the outer side of the L-shaped plate. A T-shaped groove is opened on the surface of the fixing plate. A threaded rod is welded to the top of the fixing plate. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod.
[0009] A triangular baffle is welded to the top surface of the silo.
[0010] Preferably, the receiving plate has an inverted "V" shape, and the triangular baffle is located on the front and rear sides of the receiving plate.
[0011] Preferably, the L-shaped plate is fitted inside the T-shaped groove, and the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate is in contact with the bottom wall of the T-shaped groove.
[0012] Preferably, the threaded rod passes through the chamber body via a through hole.
[0013] Preferably, the nut is located on the upper side of the chamber body, and the bottom surface of the nut is in contact with the top surface of the chamber body.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting an inverted "V" shaped receiving plate and cooperating with a ceramic liner, a layer of material can be formed on the top surface of the receiving plate, forming a material-to-material interaction and playing a buffering role. When impacted by the material, the falling material lands on the relatively loose material on the stairs, solving the problem of material breaking after hitting the ceramic with a hard impact. At the same time, the material is gathered and slowed down. Furthermore, triangular baffles are set on both sides of the receiving plate, which can effectively reduce the spillage of material on the receiving plate and improve the user experience of the device.
[0015] 1. This utility model, through the provision of a connecting structure, allows for the assembly of two adjacent sets of compartments by fitting them end-to-end, so that the L-shaped plates on the adjacent surfaces of the two sets of compartments fit together, forming a "T"-shaped structure. The fixing plate is then brought close to the L-shaped plates from bottom to top. The fixing plate can be secured to the outside of the two sets of L-shaped plates through the T-slot, and the threaded rod at the upper end of the fixing plate will pass through the through hole upwards. When the two sets of L-shaped plates are installed in place inside the T-slot, the upper end of the threaded rod will protrude from the top surface of the compartment. By screwing the nut onto the upper end of the threaded rod, the fixing plate can be fixed to the surface of the compartment. The fixing plate, in conjunction with the L-shaped plate, can stably splice two adjacent sets of compartments together. The segmented design between multiple sets of compartments makes installation and replacement after damage extremely convenient, reducing replacement costs.
[0016] 2. This utility model, by incorporating a triangular baffle, allows material to fall onto the receiving plate, forming a layer of material on the top surface of the plate, thus creating a material-to-material contact structure and providing a buffering effect. When impacted by material, the falling material lands on the relatively loose material on the staircase, solving the problem of material breaking upon impact with ceramic. Simultaneously, the material is gathered and its speed reduced. Furthermore, the ceramic liner extends the service life of the receiving plate, preventing rapid wear and premature failure of the material-to-material contact structure. Splashed material falling onto the receiving plate is blocked by the triangular baffle, ensuring the safety of on-site personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 for an embodiment of a novel elevated silo material distributor provided by this utility model:
[0024] The container 1 used in this application is a product that can be purchased directly on the market. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0025] A novel elevated silo material distributor includes: a silo body 1;
[0026] A receiving plate 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body 1. A ceramic lining plate 12 is laid on the top surface of the receiving plate 11. A through hole 14 is opened on the top surface of the silo body 1.
[0027] A connecting structure 2 is installed on the silo body 1. The connecting structure 2 includes an L-shaped plate 21. The L-shaped plate 21 is fixedly welded to both ends of the front and rear walls of the silo body 1. A fixing plate 22 is installed on the outer side of the L-shaped plate 21. A T-shaped groove 23 is opened on the surface of the fixing plate 22. A threaded rod 24 is welded to the top of the fixing plate 22. A nut 25 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 24.
[0028] The top surface of the silo 1 is welded with a triangular baffle 3. By setting an inverted "V" shaped receiving plate 11, in conjunction with the ceramic liner 12, a layer of material can be formed on the top surface of the receiving plate 11 to form a material-to-material interaction, which plays a buffering role. When impacted by the material, the falling material lands on the relatively loose material on the stairs, solving the problem of material breaking after hitting the ceramic with a hard impact. At the same time, the material is gathered and slowed down. Furthermore, the triangular baffles 3 set on both sides of the receiving plate 11 can effectively reduce the spillage of material on the receiving plate 11, improving the user experience of the device.
[0029] Furthermore, the receiving plate 11 has an inverted "V" shaped structure, and the triangular baffle 3 is located on the front and rear sides of the receiving plate 11. The receiving plate 11, together with the ceramic liner 12, can form a staircase structure. When the material is dropped, it can form a material impact, which plays a buffering role and at the same time gathers and slows down the material.
[0030] Furthermore, the L-shaped plate 21 is fitted inside the T-shaped groove 23, with the bottom surface of the L-shaped plate 21 fitting against the bottom wall of the T-shaped groove 23. When the two sets of compartments 1 are connected, the L-shaped plates 21 at close range on the two sets of compartments 1 can be spliced into a "T" shape with the same shape as the T-shaped groove 23, so that the two sets of L-shaped plates 21 can be stably fitted inside the T-shaped groove 23, ensuring the fixing effect of the connecting structure 2 on the compartment 1.
[0031] Furthermore, the threaded rod 24 passes through the chamber body 1 via the through hole 14, which provides further connection for the installation of the connecting structure 2 on the chamber body 1.
[0032] Furthermore, the nut 25 is located on the upper side of the chamber body 1, and the bottom surface of the nut 25 fits against the top surface of the chamber body 1. The nut 25, together with the threaded rod 24, can stably install the fixing plate 22 on the chamber body 1, thereby improving the connection stability of the chamber body 1.
[0033] Working principle: During assembly, two adjacent sets of compartments 1 are joined end to end, so that the L-shaped plates 21 on the near surfaces of the two sets of compartments 1 are joined together to form a "T" shape. The fixing plate 22 is brought close to the L-shaped plates 21 from bottom to top. The fixing plate 22 can be locked onto the outside of the two sets of L-shaped plates 21 through the T-shaped groove 23, and the threaded rod 24 at the upper end of the fixing plate 22 will pass through the through hole 14. When the two sets of L-shaped plates 21 are installed in place inside the T-shaped groove 23, the upper end of the threaded rod 24 will be exposed on the top surface of the compartment 1. The nut 25 is screwed onto the upper end of the threaded rod 24 to fix the fixing plate 22 to the surface of the compartment 1. The fixing plate 22, together with the L-shaped plate 21, can stably splice the two adjacent sets of compartments 1 together. The segmented design between multiple sets of compartments 1 makes it extremely convenient to install and replace the compartments 1 after damage, reducing replacement costs.
[0034] When in use, the material falls onto the receiving plate 11, forming a layer of material on the top surface of the receiving plate 11, forming a material feeding mechanism, which acts as a buffer. When impacted by the material, the falling material lands on the relatively loose material on the stairs, solving the problem of material breaking after hitting the ceramic with a hard impact. At the same time, the material is gathered and slowed down. In addition, the ceramic liner 12 can extend the service life of the receiving plate 11 and prevent the receiving plate 11 from wearing out quickly, which would cause the material feeding structure to fail prematurely.
[0035] Meanwhile, materials that fall onto the receiving plate 11 and splash are blocked by the triangular baffle 3, ensuring the safety of on-site employees.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
