Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain bucket elevator conveying technology, specifically a grain bucket elevator designed to prevent falling. Background Technology
[0002] Bucket elevators are widely used for the vertical lifting and conveying of granular and powdery materials such as grains, minerals, fertilizers, and coal. They mainly consist of a casing, bucket elevator assembly, conveyor belt, and drive unit. In industries such as grain processing and storage, bucket elevators are widely used for lifting and conveying grains, offering advantages such as simple structure, small footprint, and high lifting efficiency.
[0003] However, during grain transportation, especially at the top discharge port, when the bucket elevator is throwing material, the material often falls or returns due to the vibration of the conveyor belt and the gap between the buckets, affecting the normal operation of the equipment and the material transportation efficiency.
[0004] Material falling or flowing back from the discharge port of a bucket elevator not only wastes materials but also increases equipment maintenance costs. Falling materials, such as grains, can also pollute the surrounding environment, affecting the cleanliness and safety of the production workshop. Furthermore, frequent material backflow or falling can damage the equipment and shorten its lifespan.
[0005] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a grain bucket elevator that prevents grain from falling. Utility Model Content

A guide plate assembly is installed at the discharge port of the elevator body. The guide plate assembly includes a guide plate, a silicone flexible plate, a pressure strip, and bolts.
[0009] The guide plate is fixed to the pre-set screw hole position at the outlet by bolts, the silicone soft plate covers the contact surface of the guide plate and is pressed by the pressure strip; the pressure strip and the guide plate are locked and fixed by bolts.
[0010] The guide plate is provided with an adjustment port for adjusting the contact position between the guide plate assembly and the bucket.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the thickness of the silicone flexible plate ranges from 3 to 10 mm, and the end that contacts the bucket has a flexible and deformable structure.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the installation position of the guide plate can be slidably adjusted along the length of the discharge port and fixed by bolts and nuts.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the adjustment port is an elongated through hole symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide plate to adapt to the installation requirements of buckets of different sizes.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the silicone soft sheet is a detachable and replaceable structure, and its connection with the guide plate is a compression-sealed connection.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the pressure strip is a metal strip structure with an anti-rust coating on its surface, and the contact surface between the pressure strip and the silicone soft plate is a smooth transition curved surface.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This utility model relates to a grain bucket elevator designed to prevent material from falling out. The guide plate assembly effectively reduces material drop and backflow at the discharge port. The guide plate, silicone flexible plate, pressure strip, and bolts work together to ensure the stability and sealing of the guide plate assembly.

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a grain bucket elevator that prevents grain from falling: it includes an elevator body 1, and a guide plate assembly is installed at the discharge port of the elevator body 1. The guide plate assembly includes a guide plate 2, a silicone soft plate 4, a pressure strip 3, and bolts 51.
[0025] The guide plate 2 is fixed to the pre-set screw hole position at the discharge port of the elevator body 1 by bolts 51. The silicone soft plate 4 covers the contact surface of the guide plate 2 and is pressed tightly by the pressure strip 3. The pressure strip 3 and the guide plate 2 are locked and fixed together by bolts 51.
[0026] The guide plate 2 is provided with an adjustment port 21 for adjusting the contact position between the guide plate assembly and the bucket. The adjustment port 21 is an elongated through hole, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide plate 2 to accommodate buckets of different sizes.
[0027] The thickness of the silicone flexible sheet 4 ranges from 3 to 10 mm. The end that contacts the bucket has a flexible and deformable structure, which can adapt to the movement trajectory of the bucket and reduce the impact and drop of materials during the conveying process.
[0028] The installation position of the guide plate 2 can be adjusted by sliding along the length of the discharge port and fixed by bolt 51 and nut 52 to adapt to the installation requirements of buckets of different sizes.
[0029] The silicone flexible plate 4 is a detachable and replaceable structure. Its connection with the guide plate 2 is a compression-sealed connection, which facilitates the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment.
[0030] The pressure strip 3 is a metal strip structure with an anti-rust coating on its surface. The contact surface between the pressure strip 3 and the silicone soft plate 4 is a smooth transition curved surface to reduce friction and wear of materials during the conveying process.
[0031] Through the above-described embodiments, the anti-drop grain bucket elevator of this utility model can effectively reduce the problem of material falling and flowing back at the discharge port, improve the conveying efficiency and service life of the equipment, and at the same time reduce material waste and maintenance costs.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Grain is poured into the feed inlet of the bucket elevator, the drive device is started, and the conveyor belt begins to operate, driving the buckets to rise along the track of the elevator body. When the buckets move to the discharge port position, the grain is discharged from the buckets under the action of gravity and slides down to the designated position along the guide plate assembly. The design of the guide plate assembly, especially the flexible and deformable structure of the silicone soft plate 4, can closely conform to the movement trajectory of the buckets, effectively reducing the impact and drop of materials during the conveying process. At the same time, the sliding adjustment and adjustment port 21 of the installation position of the guide plate 2 allow the guide plate assembly to adapt to the installation requirements of buckets of different sizes, ensuring that the material can be smoothly discharged from the buckets and slide down to the designated position along the guide plate 2, thereby avoiding the problems of material falling and backflow. The entire conveying process is stable and efficient, reducing material waste and maintenance costs, and improving the conveying efficiency and service life of the equipment.
