Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour processing technology, specifically to an automated pre-processing device with a feeding hopper. Background Technology
[0002] A feed hopper is an industrial piece of equipment primarily used for storing and conveying materials, especially in automated production lines and material handling systems. It is typically located at the beginning of the production line to receive and temporarily store materials, then transport them to the next processing or handling stage according to the requirements of the production process.
[0003] In the flour processing process, flour is prone to sticking and clogging the feed hopper. The feed hopper may become clogged, and the vibration efficiency of the vibrating motor is not enough to achieve the expected vibration effect on the flour, which affects the feeding efficiency. Therefore, an automated pre-processing device for the feed hopper is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automated pre-processing device for a feeding hopper includes a feeding hopper body. Connecting plates are slidably fitted on both sides of the inner surface of the feeding hopper body. Several heating plates to reduce adhesion are fixedly provided on the surface of the connecting plates. A vibration mechanism to prevent accumulation is fixedly provided at the top of the connecting plates.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, each heating plate includes a fixing block, a feeding plate, and an electric heating tube. The feeding plate is fixedly mounted on the front end of the fixing block, and the electric heating tube is fixedly mounted below the feeding plate. The electric heating tube is electrically connected to a power source through a temperature controller.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the heating plates are arranged at equal intervals with staggered spacing.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the power mechanism includes two mounting plates, which are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the feed hopper body.

The two bidirectional motors are electrically connected to the power supply through a synchronizer. The drive shafts of the bidirectional motors are each fixedly equipped with a support shaft, and a cam is fixedly installed at one end of the support shaft.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, each pair of adjacent cams are arranged in opposite directions, and the cams are rotatably engaged with the corresponding connecting wheels.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] An automated pre-processing device for a feeding hopper includes a feeding hopper body 1. Connecting plates 2 are slidably fitted on both sides of the feeding hopper body 1. Several heating plates 20 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting plates 2 to reduce flour adhesion. A vibration mechanism 4 to prevent flour accumulation is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plates 2. A power mechanism 6 to provide power to the vibration mechanism 4 is located at the bottom of the surface of the feeding hopper body 1. Each vibration mechanism 4 includes two bending rods 40. A push rod 41 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the bending rod 40. A connecting seat 42 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the push rod 41. A connecting wheel 43 is rotatably mounted inside the connecting seat 42 via a connecting shaft. A positioning plate 44 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the push rod 41. A positioning block 45 is fixedly mounted on one side of the positioning plate 44. Positioning rails 47 that interact with the positioning blocks 45 are fixedly mounted at the four corners of the feeding hopper body 1, ensuring the stability of the push rod 41's up-and-down movement.
[0025] As a further implementation of this solution, each heating plate 20 includes a fixing block 201, a feeding plate 202, and an electric heating tube 203. The feeding plate 202 is fixedly installed at the front end of the fixing block 201, and the electric heating tube 203 is fixedly installed below the feeding plate 202. The electric heating tube 203 is electrically connected to the power supply through a thermostat. Several heating plates 20 are arranged at staggered intervals. The feeding plate 202 is made of metal material and has good thermal conductivity.
[0026] As a further implementation of this scheme, the power mechanism 6 includes two mounting plates 61, which are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the feed hopper body 1. A bidirectional motor 62 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate 61 through a motor base. The two bidirectional motors 62 are electrically connected to the power supply through a synchronizer. The drive shaft of each bidirectional motor 62 is fixedly provided with a support shaft 63. A cam 64 is fixedly provided at one end of the support shaft 63. Every two adjacent cams 64 are arranged in opposite directions. The cam 64 rotates and engages with the corresponding connecting wheel 43. When the cam 64 rotates to the top, it pushes the connecting wheel 43, push rod 41 and bending rod 40 to move upward. The bending rod 40 then drives the connecting plate 2 and the heating plate 20 to move synchronously.
[0027] As a further implementation of this solution, both sides of the mounting plate 61 are fixedly provided with positioning seats 65. The interior of the positioning seat 65 rotates with the surface of the corresponding support shaft 63, ensuring the stability of the support shaft 63 during rotation.
[0028] As a further implementation of this solution, a fixing plate 111 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the feed hopper body 1, and the fixing plate 111 is located below the power mechanism 6. Fixing holes 112 for bolts are opened at the four corners of the surface of the fixing plate 111.
[0029] Work process: The automatic pretreatment device of the feeding hopper is fixed by the fixing hole 112 and the bolt and nut. In order to reduce the sticking of flour during the feeding process, the electric heating tube 203 is turned on. The heat generated by the electric heating tube 203 is transferred to the upper surface of the feeding plate 202 to preheat the feeding plate 202 in advance, thereby accelerating the evaporation of water vapor in the feeding plate 202 and keeping the feeding plate 202 dry.
[0030] During feeding, the two bidirectional motors 62 rotate synchronously through the coordination of a synchronizer. The drive shaft of the bidirectional motors 62 drives the support shaft 63 to rotate, and the support shaft 63 drives the cam 64 to rotate. During the rotation of the support shaft 63, it is supported by the positioning seat 65 to ensure the stability of the support shaft 63 during rotation. The cam 64 rotates in coordination with the connecting wheel 43. When the cam 64 rotates to the upper position, it pushes the connecting wheel 43, push rod 41, and bending rod 40 to move upward. The bending rod 40 then drives the connecting plate 2 and the heating plate 20 to move synchronously. Similarly, when the cam 64 rotates to the lower position, under the action of gravity, the bending rod 40... The moving connecting plate 2 and the heating plate 20 move downwards. Since the two cams 64 of the same bidirectional motor 62 are set in opposite directions, the two connecting plates 2 move up and down, which has a better vibration effect on the flour. With the help of the heating plate 20 tilting downwards, the flour slowly falls onto the next heating plate 20. During the movement of the flour, the electric heating tube 203 continuously heats it, which not only avoids the flour from clogging, but also reduces the moisture in the flour, thus improving the practicality of the device. Since the vibration mechanism 4 and the power mechanism 6 are set outside the feed hopper body 1, daily inspection and maintenance are more convenient, and the contamination of the flour is avoided.
