Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to an elevator that facilitates controlled feeding. Background Technology

[0002] The current elevator includes a frame, a tipping bucket, a hopper, and a lifting mechanism. The tipping bucket is located at the bottom inside the frame, and the hopper is located on the upper outer side of the frame. The lifting mechanism lifts the tipping bucket upwards to the hopper, and then feeds material into the hopper by flipping the tipping bucket, thus completing the lifting and feeding process.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that the material speed is difficult to control during the current feeding process into the tipping bucket, which can easily lead to excessive feeding at one time. This results in the material inside the tipping bucket being overweight, which can cause wear and tear on the lifting mechanism due to overload and affect the service life of the elevator. Therefore, improvements are still needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to control the material feeding speed and avoid overload and wear of the lifting mechanism, thus shortening its service life, this application provides a lifting machine that is easy to control the feeding speed.

[0005] The elevator for easy-to-control feeding provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An elevator for easy-to-control feeding includes a frame, an elevator body mounted on the frame with an internally installed tipping bucket, and a feeding section located on one side of the elevator body. The feeding section includes a feeding hopper supported by a bracket and a guide platform disposed at the bottom of the feeding hopper to feed the tipping bucket. An openable and closable movable plate is fixed on the side of the feeding hopper near the tipping bucket. A flow-limiting structure is provided inside the feeding hopper, including a partition fixed inside the feeding hopper and a baffle that is lifted and connected to the partition. The baffle can extend and abut against the guide platform. When the baffle rises relative to the guide platform, it can be positioned by a positioning element installed on the side wall of the feeding hopper.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition composed of the relatively inclined guide plates can separate the material entering the feed hopper, so that the material is more evenly dispersed into the guide platform, which facilitates the feeding of material in stages and solves the problem of excessive feeding at one time; the baffle divides the feed hopper into two parts. When the baffle abuts against the guide platform, the material on the side of the baffle closer to the tipping bucket first enters the tipping bucket. Then the baffle rises and is supported by the positioning component, and the material on the other side of the baffle enters the tipping bucket. This can control the feeding speed of the guide platform into the tipping bucket and avoid excessive feeding into the tipping bucket at one time.

[0008] Preferably, the partition is composed of opposing guide plates, with the upper ends of the opposing guide plates close to each other and the lower ends extending obliquely towards opposite sides; an insertion gap is formed between the opposing guide plates, and a baffle is inserted into the insertion gap.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower parts of the opposing guide plates are far apart, allowing the material to fall to both sides along the guide plates to achieve equal distribution of the material; the insertion gap formed between the opposing guide plates provides clearance for the installation of the baffle and also serves to position the baffle.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning element is a deformable positioning rod that is disposed opposite to both sides of the feed hopper; the baffle extends to form a deformable curved part with an arc shape, which can be attached to the positioning rod for positioning.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the curved part rises, it abuts against the positioning rod and deforms to continue rising until the curved part is above the positioning rod and resets. At this time, the arc-shaped part of the curved part can overlap and be positioned on the positioning rod, making the operation simple.

[0012] Preferably, the flow limiting structure further includes a lifting rod and a lifting cylinder. The lifting rod, which passes through the feed hopper, is fixed on the side wall of the baffle. The lifting cylinder is fixed on the frame and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the lifting rod. A lifting groove for the lifting rod to move is provided on the side wall of the feed hopper.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rod installed outside the feed hopper is driven by the lifting cylinder to raise and lower the baffle, avoiding interference with the internal feeding process, making the baffle lifting process more convenient and easier to realize the operation of feeding in stages.

[0014] Preferably, a support plate is fixed on the side wall of the feed hopper, and mating grooves are provided on both sides of the support plate for the movable plate to pass through. The movable plate is inserted into the support plate and passes through the bottom of the support plate to abut against the guide platform. A limiting rod that can pass through the support plate is fixed on the side wall of the movable plate. An abutment plate is horizontally slidably connected to the side wall of the elevator body. When the movable plate rises, the abutment plate slides and abuts against the bottom of the limiting rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate enables convenient installation and positioning of the movable plate, the limit rod facilitates the lifting and lowering of the movable plate, and the laterally moving abutment plate is used to maintain the positioning of the movable plate after it is raised. The operation is convenient and avoids the movable plate from obstructing the feeding.

[0016] Preferably, the side wall of the feed hopper is provided with a through hole for the positioning rod to pass through, and the bottom of the positioning rod is fixed with a limiting block that can abut against the inner side wall of the feed hopper; the positioning rod is enlarged at the through hole to form an enlarged diameter part that is interference fit with the through hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning rod will not move easily due to the interference fit between the expanded diameter section and the through hole. When there is no need to set up a baffle and positioning rod, the expanded diameter section can be dislodged from the through hole by pulling the positioning rod out of the feed hopper. The limiting block also prevents the positioning rod from completely dislodging from the feed hopper, making it easy to install and use at any time and more versatile.

[0018] Preferably, the guide platform is connected to an inclined material channel extending downward toward the tipping bucket on the side near the main body of the elevator.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined channel formed by the extension of the guide platform is used to guide the material into the tipping bucket.

[0020] Preferably, the bottom of the guide platform has an inclined surface that is inclined in the same direction as the inclined material channel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined surface at the bottom of the guide platform is used to reduce the resistance of material feeding and improve the efficiency of material entering the tipping bucket.

[0022] Preferably, a storage section is provided on the frame below the feed hopper, and a detachable partition is provided in the middle of the storage section; a fixing plate is installed in the middle of the storage section and the lower part of the feed hopper, and the partition abuts against one side wall of the fixing plate and can be fixed to the fixing plate by bolts.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage compartment can be used to store some maintenance tools or materials; at the same time, the removable partitions make it easy to adjust the storage space according to the items to be placed.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] The partition section, composed of guide plates that are inclined in opposite directions, can separate the material entering the feed hopper, allowing the material to be more evenly distributed into the guide platform. This facilitates the feeding of material in stages and solves the problem of excessive feeding at one time. The baffle divides the feed hopper into two parts. When the baffle abuts against the guide platform, the material on the side of the baffle closer to the tipping bucket first enters the tipping bucket. Then the baffle rises and is supported by the positioning component, and the material on the other side of the baffle enters the tipping bucket. This controls the feeding speed of the guide platform into the tipping bucket and avoids excessive feeding into the tipping bucket at one time.

[0026] The lifting cylinder drives the lifting rod that passes through the outside of the feed hopper to lift the baffle. When the curved part of the baffle rises, it abuts against the positioning rod and deforms to continue rising until the curved part is above the positioning rod and resets. At this time, the arc-shaped part of the curved part can overlap and be positioned on the positioning rod. The operation is simple and makes it easier to realize the operation of feeding in batches.

[0027] The support plate facilitates the installation and positioning of the movable plate, the limit rod makes it easy to drive the movable plate to rise and fall, and the laterally moving abutment plate is used to maintain the position of the movable plate after it rises. It is easy to operate and avoids the movable plate from obstructing the feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This application discloses an elevator that facilitates feed control, referring to... Figure 1 , 2 It includes a frame 1 and an elevator body 3 mounted on the frame 1 with a tipping bucket 2 installed inside, and a feeding section 4 located on one side of the elevator body 3. The feeding section 4 includes a feeding hopper 41 supported by a bracket 11 and a guide platform 42 provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper 41 to feed the tipping bucket 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The guide platform 42 is connected to an inclined material channel 421 that extends downward toward the tipping bucket 2 on the side near the main body 3 of the elevator, which is used to guide the material into the tipping bucket 2; the bottom of the guide platform 42 has a slope that extends in the same direction as the inclined material channel 421, which increases the slope to reduce the resistance of material discharge and improve the efficiency of material entering the tipping bucket 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , 2A storage section 5 is provided on the frame 1 below the feed hopper 41. A removable partition 6 is provided in the middle of the storage section 5. A fixing plate 7 is installed in the middle of the storage section 5 and the lower part of the feed hopper 41. The partition 6 abuts against one side wall of the fixing plate 7 and can be fixed to the fixing plate 7 with bolts. The storage section 5 can be used to store some maintenance tools or materials. At the same time, the removable partition 6 makes it easy to adjust the space of the storage section 5 according to the items to be placed.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 A movable plate 411 that can be opened and closed is fixed on the side of the feed hopper 41 near the tipping bucket 2. When the movable plate 411 is opened, the material in the feed hopper 41 can enter the tipping bucket 2 through the guide plate 42.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 A support plate 412 is fixed on the side wall of the feed hopper 41 near the tipping bucket 2. The support plate 412 has mating grooves on both sides for the movable plate 411 to pass through. The movable plate 411 is inserted into the support plate 412 and passes through the support plate 412 to abut against the guide table 42.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , 3 A limiting rod 8, which can pass through the support plate 412, is fixed on the side wall of the movable plate 411. An abutment plate 31 is horizontally slidably connected to the side wall of the elevator body 3. The abutment plate 31 is connected to the side wall of the elevator body 3 through a T-block. When the movable plate 411 rises, the abutment plate 31 slides and abuts against the lower part of the limiting rod 8. The support plate 412 facilitates the installation and positioning of the movable plate 411. The limiting rod 8 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the movable plate 411. The horizontally moving abutment plate 31 is used to maintain the positioning of the movable plate 411 after it rises. It is easy to operate and avoids the movable plate 411 from obstructing the feeding. It should be noted that the abutment plate 31 is made of rubber and has a large friction with the side wall of the elevator body 3. It will not easily slip except when driven by hand and can maintain a stable support under the limiting rod 8.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , 4 A flow-limiting structure 9 is provided inside the feed hopper 41. The flow-limiting structure 9 includes a partition 91 fixed inside the feed hopper 41. The partition 91 is composed of opposing guide plates 911, with the upper ends of the opposing guide plates 911 close to each other and the lower ends extending inclinedly to opposite sides. An insertion gap is formed between the opposing guide plates 911. The lower parts of the opposing guide plates 911 are far apart from each other, so that the material can fall to both sides along the guide plates 911 to achieve the even distribution of the material.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , 4The flow-limiting structure 9 also includes a baffle 92 passing through the insertion gap, and the baffle is vertically connected between the opposite guide plates 911. The baffle 92 can extend downward and abut against the guide platform 42, and at the same time, the baffle 92 can rise relative to the guide platform 42. The material in the guide platform 42 is fed in stages by the descent and rise of the baffle 92, avoiding the problem of too much material being fed into the tipping bucket at one time. The insertion gap is formed between the opposite guide plates 911, which can provide clearance space for the installation of the baffle 92, and also plays a positioning role for the baffle 92, which facilitates the raising and lowering of the guide baffle 92. It should be noted that after the baffle 92 is inserted into the insertion gap.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The flow limiting structure 9 also includes a lifting rod 93 and a lifting cylinder 94. The lifting rod 93, which passes through the feed hopper 41, is fixed on the opposite side walls of the baffle 92. The two lifting cylinders 94 are respectively fixed on both sides of the frame 1 and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 94 is fixed to the corresponding lifting rod 93. It should be noted that during operation, the parameters of the two lifting cylinders 94 are adjusted to be consistent so that the two lifting cylinders 94 can synchronously drive the two sides of the baffle 92 to rise and fall stably and synchronously.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The side wall of the feed hopper 41 is provided with a lifting groove for the lifting rod 93 to move. The lifting rod 93, which passes through the feed hopper 41, is driven by the lifting cylinder 94 to drive the baffle 92 to rise and fall, so as to avoid interfering with the internal feeding process and make the baffle 92 lifting process more convenient and easier to realize the operation of feeding in stages.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , 4 When the baffle 92 rises relative to the guide platform 42, it can be positioned by a positioning element. The positioning element is a deformable positioning rod 10 that is set opposite to both sides of the feed hopper 41. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the feed hopper 41 for the positioning rod 10 to pass through. A limiting block 101 that can abut against the inner side wall of the feed hopper 41 is fixed at the bottom of the positioning rod 10. The positioning rod 10 is enlarged at the through hole to form an enlarged diameter portion 102 that is interference-fitted with the through hole. Under the interference fit between the enlarged diameter portion 102 and the through hole, the positioning rod 10 will not move easily. When the baffle 92 and the positioning rod 10 are not required, the enlarged diameter portion 102 can be dislodged from the through hole by pulling the positioning rod 10 out of the feed hopper 41. The limiting block 101 also prevents the positioning rod 10 from completely dislodging from the feed hopper 41, which is convenient for installation and use at any time and has stronger applicability.

[0045] Reference Figure 4A deformable curved portion 921 extends from the baffle 92. When the curved portion 921 rises, it abuts against the positioning rod 10. At the same time, it deforms under the abutment of the positioning rod 10 and is misaligned with the positioning rod 10 before continuing to rise until the curved portion 921 is above the positioning rod 10 and resets. At this time, the curved part of the curved portion 921 can overlap and be positioned on the positioning rod 10, which facilitates the positioning of the baffle 92 after it rises.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
