Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding device technology, and in particular to an automatic material feeding device for a branch shredder. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing emphasis on urban greening construction and maintenance, a large number of branches are generated during tree pruning, logging, and garden waste cleanup. If these branches are carelessly piled up or discarded, they not only occupy a significant amount of space but may also pose a fire hazard and negatively impact the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic material feeding device for a branch shredder.
[0003] Most existing feeding devices lack effective cleaning methods. During automatic feeding, due to the irregular shape and size of the branches, coupled with the vibration of the feeding device and collisions during the conveying process, branches often scatter from the feeding path. These scattered branches not only accumulate around the feed inlet, affecting the cleanliness of the work area, but may also interfere with the normal operation of the feeding device, even causing feeding blockages and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, most existing feeding devices use conveyor belts with fixed angles. This design cannot be adjusted according to the actual situation of the branches. When encountering branches of special specifications or shapes, the fixed-angle conveyor belt cannot provide suitable conveying conditions, making it easy for branches to get stuck or tilt during the conveying process, affecting the smoothness of feeding. The lack of compression and transport functions also leads to the branches being loosely distributed on the conveyor belt, failing to fully utilize the conveyor belt's conveying capacity and reducing feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic material feeding device for a branch shredder, addressing the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing feeding devices lack effective cleaning methods. During automatic feeding, due to the irregular shape and varying size of branches, coupled with vibrations of the feeding device and collisions during transport, branches often scatter from the feeding path. These scattered branches not only accumulate around the feed inlet, affecting the cleanliness of the work area, but may also interfere with the normal operation of the feeding device, even causing feeding blockages and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, most existing feeding devices use conveyor belts with fixed angles, a design that cannot be adjusted according to the actual condition of the branches. When encountering branches of special specifications or shapes, fixed-angle conveyor belts cannot provide suitable transport conditions, making it easy for branches to jam or tilt during transport, affecting the smoothness of feeding. The lack of compression transport function also leads to branches being loosely distributed on the conveyor belt, failing to fully utilize the conveyor belt's transport capacity and reducing feeding efficiency.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the back of the rotating block B is rotatably connected to the extrusion conveyor belt. Scrapers are installed around the perimeter of the extrusion conveyor belt, and reinforcing ribs are installed inside the extrusion conveyor belt. The reinforcing ribs serve to support and extrude branches in the middle of the conveyor belt.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a side plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the reinforcing rib, and a support block A is rotatably connected to the middle of the outer side of the side plate. The side plate serves to fix the reinforcing rib and provide side support.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a supporting hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the supporting rotating block A, and a supporting rotating block B is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the supporting hydraulic rod. The supporting hydraulic rod serves to support and adjust the conveyor belt angle multiple times.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, rotating rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the extrusion conveyor belt. The inner side of the bottom end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the outer right rear side of the bottom conveyor belt. The extrusion conveyor belt serves to extrude branches to facilitate material transportation.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an extension plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle, and a rotating tooth is rotatably connected to the inner side of the extension plate. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating tooth, and the outside of the drive motor is sleeved inside the groove on the inner side of the scraper.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] This utility model provides an automatic material feeding device for a branch shredder, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The automatic material feeding device of this branch shredder, through the setting of the collection mechanism, adjusts the unfolding angle of the scraper by adjusting the component when the device needs to process materials. Since the adjusting component is equipped with an adjusting hydraulic rod, the adjusting hydraulic rod pulls the front rotating frame, and the rotating frame pulls from the back of the scraper. In this way, the scraper can adjust the unfolding or gathering angle according to the different extension lengths of the adjusting hydraulic rod. This allows the scraper to scrape the scattered or widely dispersed branches together from both sides in front of the feed inlet, making it easier for the rotating teeth to clean them. This plays a role in cleaning and gathering scattered branches, preventing scattered branches from affecting the cleanliness of the work site around the feed inlet, and preventing them from interfering with the normal operation of the feeding device, causing feed blockage, and reducing production efficiency.
[0017] 2. The automatic material feeding device of this branch shredder, through the setting of the extrusion mechanism, allows branches to be collected by the collecting mechanism and rotating teeth into the bottom conveyor belt when the device needs to process materials. Depending on the volume and thickness of the branches, the hydraulic rods are adjusted by contracting or extending. Rotating blocks A and B are installed on the upper and lower sides of the hydraulic rods, respectively connected to the bottom conveyor belt and the extrusion conveyor belt. This allows for the adjustment of the length of the hydraulic rods to rotate the extrusion conveyor belt and adjust its angle, enabling the extrusion and transport of branches of different sizes. This achieves the function of adjusting the extrusion and transport according to the size of the branches, avoiding the situation where branches are loosely distributed on the conveyor belt due to a lack of extrusion and transport function, thus failing to fully utilize the conveyor belt's conveying capacity and reducing feeding efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 The back of the rotating block B403 is rotatably connected to the extrusion conveyor belt 5. Scrapers 6 are installed around the belt surface of the extrusion conveyor belt 5. Reinforcing ribs 7 are installed inside the extrusion conveyor belt 5. The reinforcing ribs 7 play a role in supporting and extruding the tree branches in the middle of the conveyor belt.
[0026] Please see Figure 1The outer side of the reinforcing rib 7 is fixedly connected to a side plate 8, and the middle of the outer side of the side plate 8 is rotatably connected to a support block A9. The side plate 8 serves to fix the reinforcing rib 7 to support the side.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 A support hydraulic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support rotating block A9, and a support rotating block B11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support hydraulic rod 10. The support hydraulic rod 10 serves to support and adjust the angle of the conveyor belt multiple times.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 Both ends of the extrusion conveyor belt 5 are rotatably connected to rotating rods 12. The inner side of the bottom end of the locking rod 12 is rotatably connected to the outer right rear of the bottom conveyor belt 1. The extrusion conveyor belt 5 is designed to extrude branches to facilitate material transport.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 An extension plate 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle 2. A rotating tooth 14 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the extension plate 13. A drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating tooth 14. The outer side of the drive motor 15 is sleeved inside the groove on the inner side of the scraper 304. The rotating tooth 14 is used to hook up the scattered branches on the ground by rotating.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 An adjusting hydraulic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the adjusting component 306.

[0031] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0032] First step: Adjust the unfolding angle of the scraper 304 by adjusting component 306. Since the adjusting component 306 is equipped with adjusting hydraulic rod 16, the adjusting hydraulic rod 16 pulls the front rotating frame 305, and the rotating frame 305 pulls from the back of the scraper 304. In this way, the scraper 304 can adjust the unfolding or gathering angle according to the different extension length of the adjusting hydraulic rod 16, so that the scraper 304 scrapes the scattered or dispersed branches together from both sides in front of the feed inlet, which is convenient for the rotating teeth 14 to clean.
[0033] The second step: After the branches are collected by the collecting mechanism 3 and the rotating teeth 14 and enter the bottom conveyor belt 1, the angle hydraulic rod 402 is extended or retracted according to the size and thickness of the branches. Since rotating blocks A401 and B403 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the angle hydraulic rod 402, and these blocks are connected to the sides of the bottom conveyor belt 1 and the extrusion conveyor belt 5 respectively, the length adjustment of the angle hydraulic rod 402 allows the extrusion conveyor belt 5 to rotate and adjust its angle, thus extruding and transporting branches of different sizes. It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this utility model mainly describe the principle of this utility model.
