Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood particle compaction technology, specifically a compaction machine for wood particle processing. Background Technology

[0002] Wood pellets are granular materials made from wood. During the processing of wood pellets, the pulverized wood is pressurized by a pellet mill to form wood pellets.

[0003] Existing wood pellet compactors consist of a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure plate. The hydraulic cylinder extends, causing the pressure plate to move inward into the housing, reducing the space between the pressure plate and the housing to compact the wood pellets. To prevent the wood pellets from leaking out during compaction, the housing only has an opening on the top wall. When unloading the compacted wood pellets, the hydraulic cylinder needs to retract, and the pressure plate needs to be completely withdrawn from the housing before the housing can be tilted to discharge the compacted wood pellets. The unloading process after wood pellet compaction is quite cumbersome. To facilitate the compaction and unloading of wood pellets, a new wood pellet compactor is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a compactor for wood pellet processing, which has the advantage of conveniently compacting and unloading wood pellets.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of facilitating the compaction and unloading of wood particles, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compaction machine for wood particle processing, including a base plate, a support rod fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, a compaction box fixedly installed on the top of the support rod, an installation frame fixedly installed on the top of the compaction box, and a compression release component for compacting and unloading wood particles provided on the support rod, the compaction box and the installation frame;

[0006] The compression release assembly includes a connecting rod, a movable rod, a hydraulic cylinder, an upper pressure plate, a connecting frame, and a lower pressure plate. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the compaction chamber, and the movable rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, and the upper pressure plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The upper pressure plate is rotatably connected to the upper movable rod. The connecting frame is slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod and rotatably connected to the lower movable rod. The lower pressure plate is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting frame. Both the upper and lower pressure plates are inserted into the inner wall of the compaction chamber, and the side shape of the lower pressure plate is a right-angled trapezoid.

[0007] Furthermore, the compaction box has a U-shaped top view, there are two connecting rods, and there are four movable rods, with the four movable rods being parallel to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, both the upper and lower pressure plates are adapted to the inner wall of the compaction box, and mounting holes are provided on the bottom plate on the outside of the support rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed with a connecting seat that is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate. The side walls of the connecting frame and the connecting seat are both fixedly installed with pins that are rotatably connected to the movable rod. The top of the connecting seat is fixedly installed with a guide rod that is slidably connected to the mounting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a viewing window is installed on the front wall of the compaction box, and a feed hopper corresponding to the inner cavity of the compaction box is fixedly installed on the top wall of the compaction box.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a compactor for wood pellet processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This wood pellet compactor features a compression release assembly. When activated, the hydraulic cylinder extends via a connecting rod and a movable rod, causing the upper and lower pressure plates to move downwards and upwards, respectively. This brings the upper and lower pressure plates closer together, compacting the wood pellets in the compaction chamber into blocks. Once compaction is complete, the hydraulic cylinder retracts, causing the upper and lower pressure plates to move upwards and downwards, thus separating them. When the wood pellets on the lower pressure plate are completely detached from the compaction chamber, they slide out along the upper surface of the lower pressure plate, facilitating the compaction and unloading of the wood pellets.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 A compactor for wood pellet processing includes a base plate 1, a support rod 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, and a mounting hole 6 on the base plate 1 and located on the outside of the support rod 2. The base plate 1 can be fixed by screws passing through the mounting hole 6, or the base plate 1 can be disassembled by removing the screws. A compaction box 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod 2. The compaction box 3 has a U-shaped top view and a mounting frame 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the compaction box 3.

[0019] The front wall of the compaction box 3 is equipped with a viewing window 10 to facilitate observation of the compaction status of the wood particles inside the compaction box 3. The top wall of the compaction box 3 is fixedly equipped with a feeding hopper 11 corresponding to the inner cavity of the compaction box 3. The wood particles are poured into the feeding hopper 11 and slide into the compaction box 3 to be compacted.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 The support rod 2, the compaction box 3, and the mounting frame 4 are equipped with a compression release assembly 5 for compacting and unloading wood particles. The compression release assembly 5 includes a connecting rod 51, a movable rod 52, a hydraulic cylinder 53, an upper pressure plate 54, a connecting frame 55, and a lower pressure plate 56. The connecting rod 51 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the compaction box 3. The side wall of the compaction box 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft that is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 51. The connecting rod 51 can rotate around the axis of the fixed shaft. There are two connecting rods 51. The movable rod 52 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 51. The rotation of the connecting rod 51 can drive the movable rod 52 to move. There are four movable rods 52, and the four movable rods 52 are parallel to each other.

[0021] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 4, and the upper pressure plate 54 is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 53. The hydraulic cylinder 53 extends and retracts, driving the upper pressure plate 54 to move up and down, gradually compacting or unloading the wood particles. The upper pressure plate 54 is rotatably connected to the upper movable rod 52. The movement of the upper pressure plate 54 can drive the movable rod 52 to move. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 53 is fixedly installed with a connecting seat 7 that is fixedly connected to the upper pressure plate 54. The top of the connecting seat 7 is fixedly installed with a guide rod 9 that is slidably connected to the mounting frame 4. Under the guidance of the guide rod 9, the connecting seat 7 and the upper pressure plate 54 can move vertically up and down.

[0022] Meanwhile, the connecting frame 55 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod 2. The connecting frame 55 moves up and down on the outer surface of the support rod 2. The connecting frame 55 is rotatably connected to the lower movable rod 52. The lower pressure plate 56 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting frame 55. With the connection of the connecting rod 51 and the movable rod 52, the movement of the upper pressure plate 54 can drive the movement of the lower pressure plate 56, allowing the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 to move closer together to compact the wood particles, or to move the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 away from each other, allowing the lower pressure plate 56 to move closer to the compacted wood particles. After the box 3 is detached, the compacted wood particles slide out from the lower pressure plate 56 for unloading. The side walls of the connecting frame 55 and the connecting seat 7 are fixedly installed with pins 8 that are rotatably connected to the movable rod 52. The upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 are inserted into the inner wall of the compaction box 3. The side shape of the lower pressure plate 56 is a right trapezoid, so that the upper surface of the lower pressure plate 56 is a slope, which facilitates the compacted wood particles to slide out from the upper surface of the lower pressure plate 56 for unloading. The upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 are adapted to the inner wall of the compaction box 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, wood particles are poured into the feed hopper 11 and slid into the compaction box 3, where they are caught by the lower pressure plate 56. The hydraulic cylinder 53 extends, and with the connection of the connecting rod 51 and the movable rod 52, the upper pressure plate 54 moves down and the lower pressure plate 56 moves up. At this time, the connecting rod 51 rotates and the movable rod 52 moves, causing the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 to move closer together, thus squeezing the wood particles in both directions. This compacts the wood particles between the compaction box 3, the upper pressure plate 54, and the lower pressure plate 56 into large blocks. After compaction is complete, the hydraulic cylinder 53 retracts, and with the connection of the connecting rod 51 and the movable rod 52, the upper pressure plate 54 moves up and the lower pressure plate 56 moves down, moving away from each other. As the large blocks of wood particles on the lower pressure plate 56 completely detach from the compaction box 3, the large blocks of wood particles slide out from the lower pressure plate 56 and are discharged.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows:

[0025] The wood pellet compactor is equipped with a compression release component 5. After the compression release component 5 is used, the hydraulic cylinder 53 extends under the connection of the connecting rod 51 and the movable rod 52, the upper pressure plate 54 moves down and the lower pressure plate 56 moves up, so that the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 move closer to each other to compact the wood pellets put into the compaction box 3 into blocks. After the wood pellets are compacted, the hydraulic cylinder 53 retracts, the upper pressure plate 54 moves up and the lower pressure plate 56 moves down, so that the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 56 move away from each other. When the wood pellets on the lower pressure plate 56 are completely separated from the compaction box 3, they slide out along the upper surface of the lower pressure plate 56, thus facilitating the compaction and unloading of the wood pellets.

[0026] The hydraulic cylinder 53 mentioned in the text is electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
