Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material conveying and processing equipment, specifically an automatic unblocking and material stabilizing device. Background Technology

[0002] The existing silo structure design has significant flaws. The silo uses a forked steel plate silo design with a square, eccentric discharge port, which easily leads to uneven material flow. During daily use, operators frequently tap the exterior of the silo to clear material, causing structural deformation and reduced stability. The four corner areas of the silo are prone to material sticking and caking due to impeded flow, affecting material conveying efficiency. Furthermore, the gentle slope of the upper conical silo and the excessively large discharge angle hinder the natural descent of material. When material reaches the silo outlet, the drastically reduced outlet size significantly decreases throughput, causing material to easily clump and clog at the outlet, gradually accumulating upwards and eventually leading to blockages in the upper part of the silo, severely impacting the continuity of the production process.

[0003] Changes in material properties also exacerbate clogging problems. Driven by market conditions, companies often choose inexpensive but unstable materials to reduce costs, or adjust material properties, such as blending in sludge, coal slime, or other materials. These changes can all lead to silo blockages. Simultaneously, to suppress dust, the spraying intensity during production is increased, resulting in a significant increase in the moisture content of raw materials. High moisture content significantly enhances the agglomeration and adhesion of materials, while correspondingly reducing their flowability. Moisture promotes the adhesion between material particles, increasing their physical size. When the ratio of particle size to the discharge port diameter reaches the clogging threshold, frequent blockages, crusting, and arching occur in the silo, causing numerous problems for production and operation.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic unblocking and material stabilizing device, including a hopper 1 and a support 2. The support 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper 1. An unblocking mechanism is provided inside the hopper 1. The unblocking mechanism includes a material stabilizing unit and an unblocking unit. The material stabilizing unit is installed inside the hopper 1, and the unblocking unit is located below the hopper 1.

[0025] The material stabilizing unit includes a motor 5, which is located on the outside of the hopper 1. The output shaft of the motor 5 is connected to a transmission assembly 6. The other end of the transmission assembly 6 is movably connected to a transmission shaft 7 that passes through the hopper 1. The outer surface of the transmission shaft 7 is provided with a conveying blade 8. By setting up the material stabilizing unit, and then starting the motor 5, the motor 5 drives the transmission shaft 7 to rotate through the transmission assembly 6, which in turn causes the conveying blade 8 to rotate inside the hopper 1, thereby guiding and conveying the material inside the hopper 1.

[0026] The unblocking unit includes a material distribution bin 3, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the silo 1. A discharge hopper 4 is located at the bottom of the material distribution bin 3. A transmission belt assembly 9 is connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 7, and a worm gear assembly 10 is connected to the other end of the transmission belt assembly 9. A worm wheel 11 meshes with the side gear of the worm gear assembly 10. A discharge pipe 12 is located inside the worm wheel 11, and a guide plate 13 is located inside the discharge pipe 12. By setting up the unblocking unit, when the transmission shaft 7 rotates, the transmission belt assembly 9 drives the worm gear assembly 10 to rotate, causing the worm gear assembly 10 to mesh with the worm wheel 11, thereby rotating the discharge pipe 12. This guides and unblocks the material inside the silo 1, preventing further blockages during transportation.

[0027] The transmission assembly 6 consists of bevel gear one and bevel gear two meshing with each other. Bevel gear one is fixedly connected to the output shaft of motor 5, and bevel gear two is fixedly connected to the outer surface of transmission shaft 7. Thus, by starting motor 5, bevel gear one and bevel gear two mesh with each other, thereby causing transmission shaft 7 to rotate.

[0028] The transmission belt assembly 9 consists of a transmission wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt. The transmission wheel is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 7, and the driven wheel is disposed on the outer surface of the worm gear assembly 10. The transmission belt is wound around the outer surfaces of the transmission wheel and the driven wheel, thereby rotating through the transmission wheel and then being driven by the transmission belt, which in turn causes the driven wheel to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear assembly 10 to rotate.

[0029] The worm assembly 10 consists of two worms connected together. The two worms mesh with the worm wheel 11 respectively, so that when the worm assembly 10 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 11 to rotate.

[0030] The bottom of the bracket 2 is equipped with a shock-absorbing base, which includes an upper support plate, a lower support plate, and a shock-absorbing spring disposed between the upper and lower support plates. The upper support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 2, and the lower support plate is in contact with the ground, thereby reducing the vibration generated during equipment operation and reducing noise pollution.

[0031] The inner wall of the silo 1 is equipped with a wear-resistant liner made of high-chromium alloy material. The wear-resistant liner is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the silo 1 by countersunk bolts, thereby improving the wear resistance of the inner wall of the silo 1 and extending the service life of the silo 1.

[0032] The outer surface of the discharge pipe 12 is provided with spiral blades. The spiral direction of the spiral blades is the same as the rotation direction of the discharge pipe 12. Thus, during the rotation of the discharge pipe 12, the spiral blades further push the material to move, thereby improving the unblocking effect.

[0033] Motor 5 is a speed-regulating motor, and motor 5 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can automatically adjust the speed of motor 5 according to the material accumulation in hopper 1, thereby realizing intelligent control of the equipment and improving the efficiency of clearing blockages and stabilizing materials.

[0034] Working principle: The support 2 is fixed to the outer surface of the silo 1. The shock-absorbing base at its bottom reduces equipment vibration through the shock-absorbing springs between the upper and lower support plates. The high-chromium alloy wear-resistant lining plate on the inner wall of the silo 1 is fixed with countersunk bolts to improve the wear resistance of the inner wall. After the motor 5 starts, its output shaft drives the bevel gear 1 of the transmission assembly 6 to rotate. The bevel gear 1 meshes with the bevel gear 2 to rotate the transmission shaft 7. The spiral conveying blade 8 on the transmission shaft 7 guides and conveys the material in the silo 1. At the same time, the transmission shaft 7 drives the transmission wheel of the transmission belt assembly 9 to rotate. Through the transmission belt, the driven wheel drives the worm assembly 10 to rotate. The two worms of the worm assembly 10 mesh with the worm wheel 11 respectively, causing the worm wheel 11 to drive the discharge pipe 12 to rotate. The inclined guide plate 13 in the discharge pipe 12 and the spiral blades with the same spiral direction on the outer surface work together to further guide and clear the blockage of the material in the silo 1. Motor 5 is a speed-regulating motor that is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can automatically adjust the speed of motor 5 according to the material accumulation in the hopper 1 to achieve intelligent control. The discharge hopper 4 at the bottom of the distribution hopper 3 can discharge materials.
