Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of material sorting, specifically to a receiving device and a testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In laboratory or industrial sorting operations, it is a common problem that sorted materials fall directly to the ground or inside the equipment. This is especially true for large-scale experiments that require more material sorting. Material accumulation not only takes up space and affects subsequent operations, but manual cleaning also requires frequent entry into the narrow interior of the equipment, which is difficult, carries risks of bumps and mechanical injuries, and is inefficient, results in significant material loss, wastes time and manpower, and is costly. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a material receiving device in a first aspect, wherein the material receiving device includes: a support, which has a plate-like structure and extends horizontally; a receiving hopper for receiving materials, including: a bottom plate disposed on the upper surface of the support for receiving the materials; a front side plate disposed on the bottom plate on the side near the material's infeed direction; two side walls disposed on the bottom plate, located on both sides of the front side plate and extending therefrom; and a side plate disposed on the bottom plate on the side away from the material's infeed direction; a plurality of casters disposed on the bottom of the support; and one or more material distribution plate mounting brackets disposed on the receiving hopper for mounting material distribution plates.

[0004] In some embodiments, the receiving device further includes: one or more material distribution plates, which are vertically mounted above the base plate via the material distribution plate mounting bracket, dividing the receiving hopper into multiple spaces arranged along the material receiving direction.

[0025] In laboratory or industrial production, the collection of materials after sorting plays a crucial role. Traditional sorting equipment often results in material accumulation on the ground, especially in large-scale experiments requiring the processing of 500-600 kg of material. Material accumulation not only occupies significant space, impacting subsequent operations, but also requires substantial manual cleaning, is inefficient, and easily leads to material loss. In some equipment with relatively narrow internal spaces, the accumulated sorted material necessitates personnel entering the equipment for cleaning and recovery, which is difficult, wastes manpower, and is relatively costly.

[0026] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the testing apparatus may include a sorting device 200 and a receiving device 100. The sorting device 200 can sort materials and discharge them. The receiving device 100 can receive the materials discharged from the sorting device 200 and perform unloading operations.

[0027] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a receiving device 100, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the receiving device 100 may include: a bracket 110, a receiving hopper, multiple casters 130, and a material distribution plate mounting bracket (not shown in the figure).

[0028] Bracket 110, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 110 can be a plate-like structure and can extend horizontally. It can be made of high-strength metal sheet, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, with a thickness of 5-10mm depending on the load-bearing requirements. It can be rectangular or flat, and can extend horizontally. It supports the receiving hopper and ensures that receiving 500-600 kg of material does not cause deformation. The upper surface of the support frame 110 can be fitted with the receiving hopper, and the lower surface can be fitted with multiple casters 130.

[0029] Collection hopper, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the receiving hopper, which can be used to receive materials, may include: a bottom plate 121, a front side plate 122, two side walls 123, and a rear side plate 124. The bottom plate 121, front side plate 122, two side walls 123, and rear side plate 124 of the receiving hopper can be integrally formed or continuously welded to form the receiving hopper. It can be made of 5-10mm thick steel plate or stainless steel plate and can be set on the upper surface of the support 110 to facilitate the receipt of materials discharged from the sorting equipment 200.

[0030] A base plate 121 can be mounted on the upper surface of the support 110 and is used to receive materials. A front side plate 122 can be mounted on the side of the base plate 121 closest to the material's inflow direction. Two side walls 123 can be mounted on the base plate 121, located on both sides of the front side plate 122 and extending therefrom. A rear side plate 124 can be mounted on the side of the base plate 121 furthest from the material's inflow direction. The base plate 121 can be horizontally mounted above the support 110 and serves as the main plane for receiving materials discharged from the sorting equipment 200. The front side plate 122 can be mounted close to the material's inflow direction and can be tilted at an angle of 30-60 degrees to the horizontal to facilitate guiding materials into the receiving hopper. The height of the front side plate 122, rear side plate 124, and two side walls 123 can be adjusted according to the material's stacking height and can be higher than the material's stacking height. The two side walls 123 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front side plate 122, forming a semi-enclosed space with the bottom plate 121 and the front and rear side plates to prevent the material from spreading laterally. The rear side plate 124 can be arranged on the side away from the material's inflow direction. The bottom plate 121, the front side plate 122, the two side walls 123, and the rear side plate 124 can together form a receiving hopper to receive the material discharged from the sorting equipment 200.

[0031] Multiple 130 casters, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, casters 130 can be installed at the bottom of the bracket 110. Multiple casters 130 can be installed, evenly distributed at the bottom of the bracket 110, distributed at the four corners of the bracket 110, or nine in three rows and three columns at the bottom of the bracket 110, ensuring even force distribution and smooth movement. The caster 130 mounting plate can be fixed to the pre-drilled threaded holes at the bottom of the bracket 110 using bolts, or the caster 130 mounting plate can be directly welded to the bottom of the bracket 110. The casters 130 can rotate freely 360 degrees. Each caster 130 can bear a weight of 50-500 kg, and can be combined to meet different total weight requirements, such as the overall weight of a fully loaded receiving hopper. When materials need to be received, the casters 130 can move the receiving hopper below the sorting equipment 200 for material reception.

[0032] One or more material sorting plate mounting frames can be installed in the receiving hopper to mount material sorting plates. The mounting frames can be welded or spliced ​​from angle steel, channel steel, or aluminum alloy profiles to form U-shaped or L-shaped supports, adaptable to the front side plate 122, side wall 123, or bottom plate 121 of the receiving hopper. They can be detachably connected to the inside of the receiving hopper. The material sorting plates can be fixed to the mounting frames using bolts, etc., allowing for three-dimensional adjustment of the angle, height, and position of the material sorting plates to meet the sorting requirements of different materials. The shape of the material sorting plates can vary depending on the sorting equipment 200, such as the model of the sorting machine. There can be one or more material sorting plate mounting frames, facilitating the installation of one or more material sorting plates. When the sorting machine is a three-stage equipment, two material sorting plates can be installed; when the sorting machine is a two-stage equipment, one material sorting plate can be installed. This allows for the separation of multiple types of materials, preventing different sorted materials from mixing together and facilitating the viewing of sorting results.

[0033] In this embodiment, the casters 130 at the bottom of the support 110 of the receiving device 100 enable the device to move, facilitating connection to the discharge ports of different sorting equipment and improving the flexibility of material collection. The receiving hopper can form a semi-enclosed structure through the bottom plate 121, front side plate 122, rear side plate 124, and side walls 123, effectively receiving sorted materials and preventing materials from directly falling and accumulating, thus reducing space occupation and cleaning costs. The material sorting plate mounting frame can install material sorting plates to separate multiple types of materials, preventing different sorted materials from mixing together. The receiving hopper can be integrated into the support 110 and can be moved as a whole to a designated position for unloading with the casters 130, avoiding the need for operators to enter the equipment for cleaning, saving time and costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, the receiving device 100 may further include: one or more dividing plates (not shown in the figure), which can be vertically installed above the base plate 121 via a dividing plate mounting bracket, dividing the receiving hopper into multiple spaces arranged along the material infeed direction. The dividing plates can be metal plates with a thickness of 1-5mm, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, capable of withstanding large impact forces and avoiding tilting or deformation. The dividing plates can be vertically installed inside the receiving hopper, and both ends of the dividing plates can be fixedly installed on two side walls 123, with the same height as the two side walls 123. The dividing plates can be arranged along the material infeed direction (e.g., from the front side plate 122 to the rear side plate 124), and can have different shapes, forming two to five independent receiving spaces. The width of a single space can be 50-300mm, which can meet the flow requirements of different materials. When the sorting machine is a three-stage device, two dividing plates can be set; when the sorting machine is a two-stage device, one dividing plate can be set, which can distinguish multiple types of materials and prevent different sorted materials from mixing together. Each sorting plate can be disassembled independently, facilitating the cleaning of residual materials or replacement of damaged parts. By dividing the space into independent compartments using the sorting plates, the same receiving hopper can simultaneously handle multiple materials output from the sorting equipment.

[0035] In this embodiment, one or more dividing plates are used to simultaneously collect two or more types of materials, replacing the traditional receiving hopper without dividing plates and reducing the frequency of hopper replacement. For example, in an ore sorting scenario, two dividing plates divide the receiving hopper into three spaces, directly receiving three different types of sorted materials. The dividing plates can guide materials to automatically fall into designated areas, distinguish multiple types of materials, prevent different sorted materials from mixing together, facilitate installation and disassembly, simplify operation, improve material receiving efficiency, increase sorting output, and reduce costs.

[0036] In some embodiments, the separating plate can be a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate. The sorting equipment 200 can be linear or arc-shaped. The linear sorting machine can be a linear vibrating screen or a belt separator. Material passing through the linear sorting machine can fall along a straight trajectory, and the drop point can be concentrated in the straight area from the front side plate 122 to the rear side plate 124 of the receiving hopper, which is suitable for the vertical division of space by the straight separating plate. Therefore, when the sorting equipment 200 is linear, the separating plate can be a straight plate. When the separating plate is a single straight plate, the hopper 120 can be divided into two spaces that can receive two different materials. When the separating plate is two straight plates, they can be set parallel to the rear side plate 124, and the two separating plates can be arranged in a parallel array. The plate spacing between the two separating plates can be fixed or adjustable. The arc-shaped sorting machine can be a circular drum, an arc-shaped screen surface, or a rotating disk, and the material can move along an arc trajectory. Material passing through the arc-shaped separator can be discharged along an arc trajectory, with the discharge points distributed in a fan shape or ring. The receiving hopper 120 needs to work in conjunction with the arc-shaped distribution plate to guide the flow. Therefore, when the separator 200 is arc-shaped, the distribution plate can also be an arc plate. The arc of the plate can be opposite to the material's inflow direction, offering strong adaptability.

[0037] In this embodiment, the separating plate can be set as a straight plate to adapt to a linear sorting device 200, and the receiving hopper can be divided into multiple independent spaces along the material infeed direction to achieve physical isolation of different types of materials. Alternatively, the separating plate can be set as an arc-shaped plate to adapt to an arc-shaped sorting device 200, with the curvature facing away from the material infeed direction. By changing the straight or arc-shaped plate, it can be quickly adapted to the shape of different sorting machines, enhancing the versatility of the receiving device 100, further improving the adaptability and reliability of the receiving device 100 in multi-device collaborative operation, increasing the efficiency and output of material sorting, saving costs, and facilitating material collection.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the receiving device 100 may further include: a bearing 140 and a rotating shaft 150.

[0039] Bearing 140, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, it can be fixedly installed on the upper front side of the bracket 110; the rotating shaft 150, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the hopper can be fixed below the front side plate 122 and can be fitted with the bearing 140. The hopper can pour material around the rotating shaft 150. The bearing 140 can be made of high-strength cast iron. The bearing 140 is provided with multiple positioning holes and mounting holes. The positioning holes are used for precise positioning with the bracket 110, and the mounting holes can be used for bolt fixing to ensure that the bearing 140 is firmly installed on the upper front side of the bracket 110. The rotating shaft 150 can be connected to the bushing below the front side plate 122. The bushing can be connected to the front side plate 122 as a whole, or it can be welded or bolted to ensure that the rotating shaft 150 is firmly connected to the hopper, allowing the hopper to rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 150. After the material is collected, it needs to be transported to the designated unloading area. The hopper 120 can be flipped up along the rotating shaft 150, and the inclined side of the front side plate 122 can be lower than the bracket 110, forming a downward unloading slope to facilitate the pouring out of the material and complete the unloading process.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting the bearing 140 and the rotating shaft 150, the rear side plate 124 of the receiving hopper can be lifted when unloading is required. The receiving hopper can be tilted around the rotating shaft 150 as the axis, which can quickly pour the material to the designated position and complete the unloading process quickly. This reduces the force required for the operator to pour the material. Even if the hopper 120 is fully loaded, the unloading operation can be easily completed. It is convenient, fast, and easy to operate.

[0041] In some embodiments, the receiving device 100 may further include: a plurality of lifting rings, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it can be installed on the side wall 123 and the bracket 110. Multiple side wall lifting rings 161 can be installed on the side wall 123, ranging from four to six, or four in total. Two rings can be installed on each side wall 123. When unloading is required, a crane or other equipment can lift four lifting rings on the side wall 161, allowing the hopper 120 to be tilted up, making the rear side plate 124 higher than the front side plate 122, thus completing the unloading operation. Multiple bracket lifting rings 162 can also be installed on the bracket 110, ranging from four to six, or four in total. Two bracket lifting rings 162 can be installed on each side of the bracket 110, for a total of four evenly distributed bracket lifting rings 162. This facilitates the pushing and pulling of the receiving hopper. The bracket lifting rings 162 can be pushed and pulled from both sides below the sorting equipment 200 for unloading and receiving operations. When receiving is required, the bracket lifting rings 162 on the bracket 110 can be pulled, allowing the receiving device 100 to be pulled to the bottom of the sorting equipment 200 for receiving operations. When unloading is required, the support ring 162 on the support 110 can be pulled out to remove the sorting equipment 200 and enter the designated unloading area. Then, the side wall ring 161 of the side wall 123 can be lifted by a crane or other equipment, so that the hopper 120 can be flipped up along the rotating shaft 150. The inclined side of the front side plate 122 can be lower than the support 110, which can form a downward unloading slope, which can facilitate the pouring out of the material to complete the unloading.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple sidewall lifting rings 161 can be provided on the sidewall 123 to facilitate the lifting of the receiving hopper, and multiple support lifting rings 162 can be provided on the support 110 to facilitate the entry and exit of the receiving hopper from below the sorting equipment 200. This makes operation convenient, simple and easy, improves the versatility of the receiving device 100, avoids the need for operators to enter the equipment for cleaning, saves time and costs, and improves the efficiency of receiving and unloading materials.

[0043] In some embodiments, the receiving device 100 may further include: a plurality of reinforcing ribs 170, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the reinforcing rib 170 can protrude from the base plate 121 and can be arranged parallel to the side walls 123. The reinforcing rib 170 can be made of 3-5mm thick metal sheet, with an L-shaped or rectangular cross-section. It can be a prism protruding from the base plate 121, extending along the base plate 121 and parallel to the side walls 123. It can be adjusted according to load-bearing requirements and can protrude 5-10mm from the upper surface of the base plate 121. Multiple reinforcing ribs 170 can be provided, arranged side-by-side on the base plate 121, and all parallel to the side walls 123. The reinforcing rib 170 can be welded to the base plate 121 or fixed to the base plate 121 by bolts or the like. In this embodiment, by providing multiple reinforcing ribs 170, the base plate 121 can be effectively prevented from sinking, material leakage caused by structural deformation can be avoided, and the strength of the base plate 121 can be increased. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs 170 are set parallel to the side wall 123, which has a certain guiding effect. When the material is unloaded, it can facilitate the material to be discharged into the guide hopper 120, extend the service life of the guide hopper 120, improve the reliability of the guide hopper 120, and make it convenient and quick to use.

[0044] In some embodiments, the receiving device 100 may further include two side baffles (not shown in the figure), which may be plate-shaped and respectively disposed on the side wall 123 and extend upward, to prevent material spillage. The side baffles may be rectangular plate-shaped structures made of high-strength and lightweight alloy plates to ensure sufficient strength to withstand material impact. The side baffles may be fixed to the side walls on both sides of the receiving hopper by welding or bolting. If welding is used, continuous welding will be performed at the contact edges between the side baffles and the side walls 123 of the receiving hopper to ensure a firm connection and form an integral structure that can effectively withstand material impact. If bolting is used, mounting holes are pre-drilled at corresponding positions on the side baffles and the side walls 123 of the receiving hopper, and high-strength bolts and nuts will be used for fastening, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the side baffles. The vertically upward extending structure can effectively block materials that splash or slide upward or sideways during the receiving process due to inertia, collision, etc., greatly reducing the risk of material spillage and improving the integrity of material collection. In this embodiment, by installing side baffles on both sides of the receiving hopper, materials can be effectively intercepted, preventing them from overflowing from both sides of the hopper. This ensures that all materials are collected inside the receiving hopper, reducing material spillage and lowering manual cleaning costs and material loss. It also prevents materials from overflowing out of the receiving hopper, avoiding accidental impacts to operators or surrounding equipment and ensuring a safe working environment at the testing site.

[0045] In some embodiments, the caster wheel 130 may be equipped with a braking device to restrict its movement. The braking device may be a single-wheel brake, consisting of a brake lever and brake pads, and may be installed on the side of the steering shaft of the caster wheel 130. When the receiving hopper moves to the bottom of the sorting equipment 200 to receive material, the brake lever can be depressed. At this time, the brake pads can press against the wheel surface of the caster wheel 130, restricting its rotation. The caster wheel 130 stops rotating, and the receiving hopper is fixed and stable. Alternatively, the braking device may be a double-brake brake, which can brake the caster wheel 130 and restrict its steering. When the receiving hopper moves to the bottom of the sorting equipment 200 to receive material, the brake pads can lock the steering shaft, preventing the caster wheel 130 from rolling, and the steering shaft can be fixed by a locking lever or clip, restricting the caster wheel 130 from rotating 360 degrees. The braking device may be bolted to the outside of the steering shaft sleeve of the caster wheel 130. Alternatively, the braking device can be an electromagnetic brake. When energized, the electromagnetic force can release the brake pads, allowing the receiving device 100 to move freely. When de-energized, the spring can push the brake pads to fix them, limiting the rotation of the caster wheel 130.

[0046] In this embodiment, by providing a braking device on the caster wheel 130, the movement of the caster wheel 130 can be restricted when the receiving device 100 receives materials from the sorting device 200. This prevents the receiving hopper from moving due to the impact of falling materials, and ensures accurate material reception. It is suitable for large-scale material collection scenarios, and prevents the receiving device 100 from sliding, causing materials to fall to the ground or causing collisions. This improves the reliability of the receiving device 100 and extends its service life.

[0047] Based on the same inventive concept, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure also provide an experimental apparatus, wherein, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the testing apparatus may include: a sorting device 200 and a receiving device 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0048] Sorting equipment 200, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, this type of separator can be used to sort and discharge materials. The sorting equipment can be linear or arc-shaped. Linear separators can be linear vibrating screens or belt separators, where materials move along a straight path and are discharged. Arc-shaped separators can be circular drums, arc-shaped screen surfaces, or rotating discs, where materials move along an arc-shaped path and are discharged.

[0049] Material receiving device 100, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the receiving device 100 can be used to receive materials discharged from the sorting equipment 200. The receiving device 100 may include: a support 110, a receiving hopper, multiple casters 130, and a material distribution plate mounting bracket. The receiving hopper can receive materials discharged from the sorting equipment 200. The bottom plate 121 can be horizontally positioned above the support 110, serving as the main plane for receiving materials discharged from the sorting equipment 200. The front side plate 122 can be positioned close to the material's inflow direction and can be inclined, with an angle of 30-60 degrees to the horizontal, facilitating the guidance of materials into the receiving hopper. The height of the front side plate 122, rear side plate 124, and two side walls 123 can be set according to the material accumulation height, and can be higher than the material accumulation height. The two side walls 123 can be symmetrically positioned on both sides of the front side plate 122, forming a semi-enclosed space with the bottom plate 121 and the front and rear side plates to prevent lateral material diffusion. The rear side plate 124 can be positioned away from the material feeding direction. The bottom plate 121, front side plate 122, two side walls 123, and rear side plate 124 together form a receiving hopper to receive the material discharged from the sorting equipment 200. When unloading is required, a crane or other equipment can lift the four lifting rings 161 to tilt the hopper 120, allowing the rear side plate 124 to be higher than the front side plate 122, thus completing the unloading operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the experimental device includes a sorting device 200 and a receiving device 100. The receiving device 100 receives the material discharged from the sorting device 200. The casters 130 at the bottom of the support 110 of the receiving device 100 allow the device to move, facilitating connection to the discharge ports of different sorting devices. This is particularly suitable for multi-device collaborative operation scenarios, improving the flexibility of material collection. The receiving hopper forms a semi-enclosed structure through the bottom plate 121, front side plate 122, rear side plate 124, and side walls 123, effectively receiving the sorted material and preventing it from directly accumulating on the ground, thus reducing space occupation and cleaning costs. The material sorting plate mounting bracket can install material sorting plates, which can distinguish multiple types of materials and prevent different sorted materials from mixing together. The receiving hopper can be integrated into the support 110 and can be moved to a designated position for unloading with the casters 130. This avoids operators entering the equipment for cleaning, saving time and costs, and making material collection convenient and easy to clean.

[0051] In some embodiments, the testing apparatus may further include: a stand 210, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the base can be installed at the bottom of the sorting equipment 200, forming a space to accommodate the receiving device 100. Multiple legs 210 can be provided, each consisting of multiple support legs, and can be made of circular steel pipes or rectangular channel steel, vertically installed at the bottom of the sorting equipment 200. A top crossbeam can be provided at the top of the base 210 to support the sorting equipment 200, forming the bottom support frame of the sorting equipment 200.
