Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, specifically to an anti-sticking bucket elevator. Background Technology
[0002] Bucket elevators are suitable for lifting materials from low to high places. After the material is fed into the hopper through a vibrating table, the machine automatically and continuously transports it upwards.
[0003] When using traditional bucket elevators to lift and release materials with high moisture content, the material tends to stick to the inner wall of the bucket. Traditional equipment cannot remove the material adhering to the inner wall of the bucket. When the material adheres to the bucket, it increases the load on the equipment, occupies the internal space of the bucket, and thus reduces the loading efficiency of the bucket, thereby affecting the lifting of the material. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an anti-sticking bucket elevator, which has the advantages of cleaning the inner wall of the bucket and reducing dust concentration, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-adhesion bucket elevator, comprising an equipment compartment, a drive wheel rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the equipment compartment, a drive chain rollingly connected to the outer wall of the drive wheel, a hopper installed on the outer wall of the drive chain, a release compartment fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the equipment compartment, a fixing box fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the release compartment, an air guide pipe installed in the inner cavity of the fixing box, a release pipe fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the air guide pipe, a photoelectric sensor mounted on the top of the air guide pipe, a high-pressure air pump fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the equipment compartment, a dust settling box fixedly mounted on the top of the release compartment, an mounting plate installed in the inner cavity of the dust settling box, an adsorption plate movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the mounting plate, a rotating frame rotatably connected to the outer wall of the dust settling box, a pull rod movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the rotating frame, a drive spring movably sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod, a pressure plate fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the pull rod, a suction air pump fixedly mounted on the top of the release compartment, and a connecting pipe fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the dust settling box.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the outer wall shape of the fixed box near the release tube end matches the outer wall shape of the hopper, and the inner cavity of the release tube communicates with the inner cavity of the air guide tube.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the installation position of the release pipe corresponds to the inner cavity of the hopper, and the inner cavity of the dust settling box is connected to the inner cavity of the release chamber.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the adsorption plate is made of wood pulp fiber paper, and the outer wall of the pressure plate is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting plate.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the two ends of the outer wall of the drive spring are in contact with the outer walls of the pressure plate and the rotating frame, respectively, and the drive spring is made of high carbon steel.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the pressure plate is made of natural rubber, and the outer wall of the end of the connecting pipe away from the dust collection box is connected to the suction pump.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This anti-adhesion bucket elevator uses a fixed box installed in the inner cavity of the release chamber, and an air guide pipe installed in the inner cavity of the fixed box. The position of the bucket is monitored by a photoelectric sensor. When the bucket rotates and moves to the position of the fixed box, high-pressure gas is released into the inner cavity of the air guide pipe under the action of a high-pressure air pump. At this time, the high-pressure gas is released into the inner cavity of the bucket, and the material adhering to the inner wall of the bucket falls off under the impact of the high-pressure gas, thereby preventing a large amount of material from adhering to the inner wall of the bucket.
[0013] 2. This anti-adhesion bucket elevator uses a dust collection box installed on the top of the release chamber. When dust-laden air enters the inner cavity of the dust collection box, the dust in the air is adsorbed by the adsorption plate. When it is necessary to replace the adsorption plate, simply pull the lever to detach the pressure plate from the outer wall of the mounting plate, and then rotate the rotating frame to offset it from the outer wall of the mounting plate. At this time, the mounting plate can be pulled out to replace the adsorption plate, thus preventing a large amount of dust from spreading outward. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 A bucket elevator with anti-adhesion design includes an equipment compartment 1. A drive wheel 2 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the equipment compartment 1. A drive chain 3 is rolledly connected to the outer wall of the drive wheel 2. A hopper 4 is installed on the outer wall of the drive chain 3. A release compartment 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the equipment compartment 1. A fixing box 6 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the release compartment 5. An air guide pipe 7 is installed inside the inner cavity of the fixing box 6. A release pipe 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the air guide pipe 7. A photoelectric sensor 9 is installed on the top of the air guide pipe 7. A high-pressure air pump is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the equipment compartment 1. 10. A dust collection box 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the release chamber 5. An installation plate 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the dust collection box 11. An adsorption plate 13 is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the installation plate 12. A rotating frame 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the dust collection box 11. A pull rod 15 is movably sleeved in the inner cavity of the rotating frame 14. A drive spring 17 is movably sleeved in the outer wall of the pull rod 15. A pressure plate 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pull rod 15. A suction air pump 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the release chamber 5. A connecting pipe 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the dust collection box 11.
[0022] In the above structure, the drive wheel 2 installed in the inner cavity of the equipment chamber 1 drives the drive chain 3 to rotate, thereby driving the hopper 4. When the hopper 4 moves to the top of the equipment chamber 1, it releases the material in the inner cavity of the hopper 4 into the inner cavity of the release chamber 5, thereby realizing the dumping of the material.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment: the outer wall shape of the fixed box 6 near the release pipe 8 matches the outer wall shape of the hopper 4, and the inner cavity of the release pipe 8 communicates with the inner cavity of the air guide pipe 7.
[0024] In the above structure, through the fixed box 6 provided on the inner wall of the release chamber 5, and the air guide pipe 7 and release pipe 8 provided in the inner cavity of the fixed box 6, the hopper 4 can rotate downward from the outer wall of the fixed box 6 during the rotation of the hopper 4. The fixed box 6 will not affect the rotation of the hopper 4. Through the high-pressure air pump 10, high-pressure air is introduced into the inner cavity of the air guide pipe 7 under the action of the high-pressure air pump 10, and the high-pressure air is released under the action of the release pipe 8.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment: the installation position of the release pipe 8 corresponds to the inner cavity of the hopper 4, and the inner cavity of the dust collection box 11 communicates with the inner cavity of the release chamber 5;
[0026] In the above structure, the release pipe 8 set on the outer wall of the air guide pipe 7 can detect the position of the hopper 4 under the action of the photoelectric sensor 9 during the rotation of the hopper 4. When the hopper 4 rotates to the position of the fixed box 6, it will be detected in time under the action of the photoelectric sensor 9. At this time, high-pressure air can be introduced into the inner cavity of the air guide pipe 7 under the action of the high-pressure air pump 10, and the high-pressure air can be released into the inner cavity of the hopper 4 through the release pipe 8. Under the impact of the air, the material attached to the inner wall of the hopper 4 is removed, thus preventing the material from sticking to the inner wall of the hopper 4.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment: the adsorption plate 13 is made of wood pulp fiber paper, and the outer wall of the pressure plate 16 is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting plate 12;
[0028] In the above structure, the mounting plate 12 installed on the top of the release chamber 5 and the adsorption plate 13 installed in the inner cavity of the mounting plate 12 can adsorb the dust entering the inner cavity of the dust box 11 under the action of the adsorption plate 13, thereby preventing the dust generated during the release process from spreading outward, and thus preventing the air in the working environment from containing a large amount of dust.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment: the two ends of the outer wall of the drive spring 17 are in contact with the outer walls of the pressure plate 16 and the rotating frame 14, respectively, and the drive spring 17 is made of high carbon steel;
[0030] In the above structure, the drive spring 17 provided on the outer wall of the pull rod 15 can drive the pressure plate 16 under the action of the drive spring 17, so that the outer wall of the pressure plate 16 is attached to the outer wall of the mounting plate 12, thereby fixing the mounting plate 12 and restricting the mounting plate 12 to the inner cavity of the dust collection box 11. When it is necessary to replace the adsorption plate 13, pull the pull rod 15 to separate the pressure plate 16 from the mounting plate 12, and rotate the rotating frame 14. At this time, the mounting plate 12 can be pulled out from the inner cavity of the dust collection box 11.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment: the pressure plate 16 is made of natural rubber, and the outer wall of the connecting pipe 19 at the end away from the dust box 11 is connected to the suction pump 18;
[0032] In the above structure, the suction pump 18 installed on the top of the release chamber 5 and the connecting pipe 19 installed on the outer wall of the suction pump 18 can draw air from the inner cavity of the dust settling box 11 under the action of the suction pump 18 and the connecting pipe 19, thereby causing the air in the inner cavity of the dust settling box 11 to move upward and pass through the adsorption plate 13, where the dust in the air is adsorbed under the action of the adsorption plate 13.
[0033] Working Principle: During operation, the drive wheel 2 and drive chain 3 rotate, causing the hopper 4 to rotate continuously within the inner cavity of the equipment chamber 1. When the hopper 4 reaches the top of the equipment chamber 1, it releases the material inside into the release chamber 5, thus achieving material transport. During the rotation of the hopper 4, the position of the hopper 4 is detected by the photoelectric sensor 9. When the hopper 4 reaches the position of the photoelectric sensor 9, it is detected and the high-pressure air pump 10 is activated. The high-pressure air pump 10 supplies high-pressure air into the inner cavities of the air guide pipe 7 and the release pipe 8. The high-pressure air is released outward through the release pipe 8, guiding the airflow into the inner cavity of the hopper 4, thereby transporting the material. The material in the inner cavity is impacted, thus preventing it from sticking to the inner wall of the hopper 4 under the impact of the airflow. During the release of material from the hopper 4, a certain amount of dust is generated. At this time, by starting the suction pump 18, the dust in the release chamber 5 and the inner cavity of the equipment chamber 1 is extracted under the action of the suction pump 18, the connecting pipe 19 and the dust settling box 11. The dust will enter the inner cavity of the dust settling box 11. At this time, the dust can be adsorbed by the adsorption plate 13, preventing the dust from spreading outward through the release chamber 5, thereby reducing the concentration of dust in the environment. When it is necessary to replace the adsorption plate 13, pull the lever 15 and rotate the rotating frame 14, so that the rotating frame 14 rotates away from the outer wall of the mounting plate 12. At this time, the mounting plate 12 can be pulled out from the inner cavity of the dust settling box 11, realizing the replacement of the adsorption plate 13.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
