Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hopper welding technology, specifically to a cone hopper eccentric support device. Background Technology

[0002] The most common structural forms of hoppers are cylindrical hoppers with spiral grooves and conical hoppers. As auxiliary equipment in conveying systems, they play a role in connecting and coordinating cranes and belt conveyor systems.

[0003] Hoppers are used for loading materials in daily life. Most hoppers are welded together from a conical horn-shaped structure at the bottom and a cylindrical tube at the top. When welding hoppers, the hopper cannot be placed on a roller frame for welding because the cone is biased towards the side, which makes welding inconvenient.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a cone hopper eccentric support device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-4 The conical hopper weight-bearing support device includes a base plate 101, on which a support mechanism 200 is provided for supporting the hopper; and an adjustment mechanism 300, which is provided on the base plate 101 for adjusting the angle of the support mechanism 200. The support mechanism 200 includes a support pipe 201 symmetrically arranged on the top of the base plate 101, and a universal wheel 202 rotatably connected to the top of the support pipe 201.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the hopper is placed on the base plate 101, and the side wall of the hopper is supported by the casters 202 to keep the hopper stable and facilitate welding of the hopper.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, since the universal wheel 202 can rotate arbitrarily, the universal wheel 202 can support the side wall of the hopper with different inclinations, which has strong applicability, simple structure and low production cost.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a locking nut 203 is threadedly connected to the top of the support tube 201, and an anti-slip groove corresponding to the locking nut 203 is provided above the caster wheel 202. The caster wheel 202 is a rubber wheel, and the two caster wheels 202 have the same height at their highest points. An anti-slip groove is provided at the bottom of the base plate 101. The caster wheel 202 refers to the bracket installed on the caster wheel that can rotate horizontally 360 degrees under dynamic or static loads. The most common materials are: nylon, polyurethane, rubber, cast iron, etc. Widely used in mining, machinery and equipment, electronic equipment, medical equipment, engineering decoration, textiles, printing and dyeing, furniture, logistics equipment, warehousing, turnover vehicles, chassis, cabinets, equipment, electromechanical, cleanrooms, production lines, large supermarkets and many other industries and fields. Depending on their different uses, bearings are divided into iron core, aluminum core, and plastic core, and the size ranges from 1 inch to 8 inches. Among them, iron core and aluminum core are generally heavy-duty load-bearing wheels, and are often equipped with brakes when in use.

[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the position of the universal wheel 202 can be locked by rotating the locking nut 203. The bottom of the base plate 101 is provided with an anti-slip groove, which can increase the friction between the base plate 101 and the ground and prevent the base plate 101 from sliding.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, locking the universal wheel 202 can ensure the stability of the hopper during welding, and can quickly support the hopper when welding hoppers with the same inclination.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting mechanism 300 includes a rotating rod 307 rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 101. Support tubes 201 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the rotating rod 307. A fixing block 301 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the base plate 101. A limiting rod 302 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 301. A telescopic rod 303 is slidably connected to one end of the limiting rod 302. A connecting ring 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 303. A connecting rod 308 is fixedly connected between the two support tubes 201. The connecting ring 305 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 308. Limiting rings 306 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the connecting rod 308, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting ring 305. A locking block 304 is threadedly connected to the surface of the limiting rod 302. A threaded hole corresponding to the locking block 304 is opened on the surface of the limiting rod 302. One end of the locking block 304 passes through the threaded hole and fits against the surface of the telescopic rod 303.

[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, rotating the locking block 304 disengages the locking block 304 from the telescopic rod 303, pulling out or retracting the length of the telescopic rod 303. By changing the length of the telescopic rod 303, the support tube 201 and the rotating rod 307 are rotated, thereby changing the position of the universal wheel 202. After reaching the desired position, the locking block 304 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the locking block 304 is in contact with the surface of the telescopic rod 303. The position of the telescopic rod 303 is locked by the locking block 304, and the angle of the support tube 201 is fixed.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the rotation angle of the support tube 201 is changed by changing the extension length of the telescopic rod 303. The rotation angle of the support tube 201 is changed to drive the universal wheel 202 to change its position, which facilitates the support of hoppers with different diameters and inclinations and facilitates the welding of the hoppers.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
