Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone production technology, specifically to a feeding device for silicone scraps. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for feeding raw materials into the organosilicon acid hydrolysis industry: one is to use an overhead crane to lift 400-600 kg ton bags into the reactor manhole for feeding; the other is to manually feed 20-30 kg small packages into the reactor. The ton bag feeding method suffers from unpredictable overhead crane movement, increasing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, the reactor manhole is small, the silicone raw material has poor flowability, and the method is labor-intensive. The small package manual feeding method is physically demanding, time-consuming, and time-consuming. Therefore, to improve production efficiency, reduce worker workload, and minimize operational safety risks, it is necessary to develop a feeding device to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a feeding device for silicone scraps to solve the above problems.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a feeding device for silicone scrap includes a storage box with an open top, the bottom surface of the storage box is inclined, a transport trough is provided at the bottom of the storage box, an auger is provided in the transport trough, a drive assembly connected to the auger is provided at the bottom of the storage box, a discharge port is provided at the end of the transport trough, and a baffle is provided above the auger.

[0005] Preferably, the baffle has two arc-shaped grooves on both sides.

[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor disposed at the bottom of the storage bin, the output end of the drive motor is provided with a transmission shaft, a synchronous shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transport trough, the transmission shaft and the synchronous shaft are connected by a synchronous belt, and the end of the synchronous shaft is connected to an auger.

[0007] Preferably, the synchronous belt is provided with a protective housing.

[0008] Preferably, the storage bin has fixing members on both sides, and the fixing members and the side walls of the storage bin are coaxially provided with through holes.

[0009] Preferably, the storage box is provided with inclined support beams at its four corners.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the storage box is provided with a support frame.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This silicone scrap feeding device uses a tilted bottom of the storage tank to automatically collect silicone scraps into the transport trough under gravity. The drive unit rotates the auger, which pushes the material from one end of the transport trough to the outlet through the spiral blades, thus achieving feeding. A baffle is installed above the auger to prevent material from splashing upwards when the auger rotates, allowing the material to be transported evenly along the gap between the baffle and the auger. This device uses mechanical transmission to replace the traditional manual feeding or overhead crane method, greatly reducing the intensity of manual labor and avoiding safety accidents that may be caused by the unstable trajectory of the overhead crane, thus reducing the safety risks for workers.

[0013] 2. The two side walls of the storage box are integrally formed with fasteners. These fasteners and the side walls of the storage box have through holes coaxially arranged, which serve a dual purpose. First, by passing bolts or other fasteners through the through holes, the storage box can be fixed to the production line's support or other fixed structure, ensuring stability during operation and preventing positional shifts due to vibration or material weight. Second, multiple traction ropes can be passed through the through holes and then knotted above the storage box. The knotted area can then be lifted using the lifting components of other equipment, allowing for the lifting and movement of the storage box or its installation in a suitable position within the work area. Diagonal support beams are fixedly connected to the four corners of the storage box. In the second usage scenario, each traction rope is first wrapped several times around the diagonal support beam before knotting, increasing structural strength. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described below to further illustrate this utility model. Obviously, the specific embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] A feeding device for silicone scrap includes a storage box 1 with an open top, the bottom surface of the storage box 1 is inclined, a transport trough 2 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 1, an auger 3 is provided in the transport trough 2, a drive assembly 4 connected to the auger 3 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 1, a discharge port 5 is provided at the end of the transport trough 2, and a baffle 6 is installed above the auger 3.

[0025] When using this equipment, due to the inclined bottom of the storage box 1, the silicone scraps will automatically converge into the transport trough 2 under the action of gravity. The drive component 4 drives the auger 3 to rotate. The auger 3 pushes the material from one end of the transport trough 2 to the discharge port 5 through the spiral blades, thus realizing the feeding. The baffle 6 is installed above the auger 3, which can prevent the material from splashing upward when the auger 3 rotates, so that the material is evenly transported along the gap between the baffle 6 and the auger 3. This equipment uses mechanical transmission to replace the traditional manual feeding or overhead crane hoisting method, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of manual labor, and avoids the safety accidents that may be caused by the unstable operation trajectory of the overhead crane, thus reducing the safety risks of workers.

[0026] In this embodiment, two arc-shaped grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the baffle 6. When the auger 3 rotates, the material will move forward with the push of the spiral blades. Some of the material will hit the baffle 6. The arc-shaped grooves 7 provide a specific flow channel for the material, so that the material can fall smoothly from the groove opening and avoid accumulation at the baffle 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41 disposed at the bottom of the storage bin 1. The output end of the drive motor 41 is provided with a transmission shaft 42. A synchronous shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transport trough 2. The transmission shaft 42 and the synchronous shaft 43 are connected by a synchronous belt 44. The end of the synchronous shaft 43 is connected to the auger 3. When the drive assembly 4 is used, the drive motor 41 is started, and the drive motor 41 drives the transmission shaft 42 to rotate. The transmission shaft 42 transmits power to the synchronous shaft 43 through the synchronous belt 44. The synchronous shaft 43 then rotates synchronously and drives the auger 3 to rotate, ensuring that the auger 3 continuously and stably transports materials, ensuring the reliability of the feeding process, and also facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0028] In this embodiment, the synchronous belt 44 is provided with a protective housing 8. The protective housing 8 completely covers the synchronous belt 44, which can prevent external materials, dust and other impurities from entering the transmission area, avoid belt contamination or wear, and extend the service life of the drive component 4. At the same time, the staff can stand on the protective housing 8 to observe the situation inside the storage box 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the two side walls of the storage box 1 are integrally formed with fixing members 9. The fixing members 9 and the side walls of the storage box 1 are coaxially provided with through holes 10, which have a dual function. First, by passing bolts or other fasteners through the through holes 10, the storage box 1 can be fixed to the production line support or other fixed structure, ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation and preventing positional displacement due to vibration or material weight. Second, multiple traction ropes can be passed through the through holes 10 and then knotted above the storage box 1. The knotted area can be lifted using the lifting components of other equipment, thereby lifting and moving the storage box 1 or lifting and installing the storage box 1 in a suitable position within the work area.

[0030] Inclined support beams 11 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the storage box 1. In the second use case, each traction rope is first wrapped around the inclined support beam 11 several times and then knotted to improve the structural strength.

[0031] In this embodiment, a support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage box 1, and the support frame 12 provides bottom support for the storage box 1.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This silicone scrap feeding device, when used, due to the inclined bottom surface of the storage tank 1, automatically gathers the silicone scrap towards the transport trough 2 under gravity. The drive component 4 drives the auger 3 to rotate. The auger 3, through the pushing of the spiral blades, moves the material from one end of the transport trough 2 towards the discharge port 5, ultimately achieving feeding. A baffle 6 is installed above the auger 3, preventing material from splashing upwards when the auger 3 rotates, allowing the material to be evenly transported along the gap between the baffle 6 and the auger 3. This device uses mechanical transmission to replace the traditional manual feeding or overhead crane method, significantly reducing labor intensity and avoiding potential safety accidents caused by unstable overhead crane operation, thus reducing worker safety risks. The two side walls of the storage tank 1 are integrally formed with fixing parts 9. The fixing parts 9 and the side walls of the storage tank 1 are coaxially provided with through holes 10, which have a dual function. The first method involves using bolts or other fasteners to pass through the through-hole 10, which allows the storage box 1 to be fixed to the production line's support or other fixed structure, ensuring the equipment remains stable during operation and preventing positional shifts due to vibration or material weight. The second method involves passing multiple traction ropes through the through-hole 10 and then knotting them above the storage box 1. The knotted area can be lifted using the lifting components of other equipment, allowing the storage box 1 to be moved or installed in a suitable position within the work area. The storage box 1 has inclined support beams 11 fixedly connected to its four corners. In the second method, each traction rope is first wrapped several times around the inclined support beam 11 before being knotted, increasing structural strength.

[0033] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various components described in the embodiments of this utility model can be divided into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model. The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
