Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dryer technology, specifically relating to a hydraulic cleaner for the feed inlet of a dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Fertilizer raw materials are typically uneven in size and quite moist, making them prone to clumping. Therefore, drying is necessary during fertilizer production. Current technology uses fertilizer dryers, which employ bucket inlets and inclined feed troughs at the bottom. Due to the wetness and clumping nature of fertilizer raw materials, they tend to adhere to the inner wall of the inclined feed trough, eventually causing blockages and affecting the feed efficiency of the dryer. Regular cleaning is also required, currently done manually, which is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, manual cleaning requires equipment downtime, impacting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the problems of manual cleaning in the prior art, which is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and requires equipment to be paused during manual cleaning, thus affecting production efficiency, this utility model provides a hydraulic cleaner for the feed inlet of a dryer. Through the reciprocating motion of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and with the force of the torsion spring, the cleaning shovel 4 adheres to the inner wall of the feed trough 6, scrapes off the material adhering to the inner wall of the feed trough 6, and pushes it into the dryer, thus completing the cleaning of the adhering material. By replacing manual cleaning with a mechanical structure, the cleaning efficiency is high, the risk is reduced, and there is no need to stop the equipment, thus ensuring production efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A hydraulic cleaner for a dryer feed inlet mainly includes a mounting bracket 1, a hinged support 2, a hydraulic cylinder 3, and a cleaning shovel 4. The mounting bracket 1 is installed on the edge 5 of the dryer feed inlet, the hinged support 2 is installed on the mounting bracket 1, the middle part of the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is hinged to the hinged support 2, the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 extends into the dryer feed inlet, and the cleaning shovel 4 is installed at the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3. A torsion spring is installed on the hinged support 2 and the hinge pin of the hydraulic cylinder 3 to ensure that the cleaning shovel 4 on the hydraulic cylinder 3 is tightly attached to the bottom plate of the feed trough 6.
[0005] Furthermore, the hinged support 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 via a sliding device. The sliding device includes a guide rod 11, a lead screw 12, a motor 13, and a slider 14. The guide rod 11 and the lead screw 12 are mounted horizontally and parallel to each other on the mounting bracket 1. The motor 13 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and is connected to the lead screw 12 in a transmission manner. The slider 14 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 11 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 12. The hinged support 2 is mounted on the slider 14.
[0006] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is equipped with a guide assembly to prevent it from bearing bending force. The guide assembly includes a fixed channel steel 31 and a telescopic channel steel 32. The fixed channel steel 31 is installed parallel to the hydraulic cylinder 3 on the cylinder body. The telescopic channel steel 32 is telescopically installed inside the fixed channel steel 31, and the end of the telescopic channel steel 32 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 1 is detachably mounted on the flange 5 of the dryer feed inlet by bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, a limit switch is installed on the hydraulic cylinder 3.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] This invention utilizes the reciprocating motion of a hydraulic cylinder, combined with the force of a torsion spring, to scrape off the material adhering to the inner wall of the feed trough and push it into the dryer, thus completing the cleaning of the adhering material. By replacing manual cleaning with a mechanical structure, the cleaning efficiency is high, the risk is reduced, and there is no need to stop the equipment, ensuring production efficiency.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0015] This utility model discloses a hydraulic cleaner for the feed inlet of a dryer. The hydraulic cleaner for the feed inlet of a dryer mainly includes a mounting bracket 1, a hinged support 2, a hydraulic cylinder 3, and a cleaning shovel 4. The mounting bracket 1 is installed on the edge 5 of the feed inlet of the dryer. The hinged support 2 is installed on the mounting bracket 1. The middle part of the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is hinged to the hinged support 2, and the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 extends into the feed inlet of the dryer. The cleaning shovel 4 is installed at the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3. A torsion spring is installed on the hinge pin between the hinged support 2 and the hydraulic cylinder 3 to ensure that the cleaning shovel 4 on the hydraulic cylinder 3 is tightly attached to the bottom plate of the feed trough 6. Through the reciprocating motion of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and in conjunction with the force of the torsion spring, the cleaning shovel 4 adheres to the inner wall of the feed trough 6, scrapes off the material adhering to the inner wall of the feed trough 6, and pushes it into the dryer, completing the cleaning of the adhering material. By replacing manual cleaning with a mechanical structure, the cleaning efficiency is high, the risk is reduced, and there is no need to stop the equipment, ensuring production efficiency.
[0016] The hinged support 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 via a sliding device. The sliding device includes a guide rod 11, a lead screw 12, a motor 13, and a slider 14. The guide rod 11 and the lead screw 12 are mounted horizontally parallel to each other on the mounting bracket 1. The motor 13 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and is connected to the lead screw 12 in a transmission manner. The slider 14 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 11 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 12. The hinged support 2 is mounted on the slider 14. Through the motor 13 and the lead screw 12, the slider 14 can drive the hydraulic cylinder 3 and the cleaning shovel 4 to move laterally. The small-sized cleaning shovel 4 can also be matched with a wider feed chute 6 for cleaning, increasing the application range of this device.
[0017] The hydraulic cylinder 3 is equipped with a guide assembly to prevent it from being subjected to bending forces. The guide assembly includes a fixed channel steel 31 and a telescopic channel steel 32. The fixed channel steel 31 is installed parallel to the hydraulic cylinder 3 on the cylinder body. The telescopic channel steel 32 is telescopically installed inside the fixed channel steel 31, and the end of the telescopic channel steel 32 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder. The guide assembly can prevent the hydraulic cylinder from being subjected to bending forces and extend the service life of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] The mounting bracket 1 is detachably mounted on the flange 5 of the feed inlet of the dryer by bolts.
[0019] The hydraulic cylinder 3 is equipped with a limit switch.
[0020] Work process:
[0021] Through the reciprocating motion of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and with the force of the torsion spring, the cleaning shovel 4 reciprocates against the inner wall of the feed trough 6. The motor 13 and the lead screw 12 enable the slider 14 to drive the hydraulic cylinder 3 and the cleaning shovel 4 to move laterally, scraping off the material adhering to the inner wall of the feed trough 6 and pushing it into the dryer, thus completing the cleaning of the adhering material. The cleaning structure can move laterally, allowing the small-sized cleaning shovel 4 to match the wider feed trough 6 for cleaning, increasing the application range of this device. By replacing manual cleaning with a mechanical structure, the cleaning efficiency is high, the risk is reduced, and there is no need to stop the equipment, ensuring production efficiency.
