Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of feeding systems, and in particular to a feeding system. Background Technology
[0002] Foam board is a common lightweight porous material, typically made from plastic or rubber through a foaming process. Its production involves multiple steps, with raw material transport being a key one. In industrial production, an efficient raw material transport system not only improves production efficiency but also ensures product quality stability, playing a crucial role in optimizing the entire production process.
[0003] In the production and processing of foam boards, the raw materials in the silo need to be transported to the molding machine. Usually, one conveying pipe corresponds to one molding machine. The traditional method is to manually adjust the conveying pipe and manually control the material silo to match the corresponding conveying pipe of the molding machine. The process is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a feeding system for conveniently transporting raw materials in a hopper to multiple molding machines.
[0005] The feeding system provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes a distribution pipe, the distribution pipe is connected to a feed pipe, the end of the feed pipe away from the distribution pipe is connected to a hopper, the feed pipe is connected to a control valve, the distribution pipe is connected to a plurality of diversion pipes and a plurality of control components, and the control components are used to control the on / off state of the diversion pipes.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of each diversion pipe furthest from the distribution pipe is connected to the corresponding molding machine. The control component controls the opening or closing of the corresponding diversion pipe, thereby controlling whether the corresponding molding machine can be fed. When the control valve is opened, the raw material in the hopper enters the distribution pipe through the feed pipe. The raw material in the distribution pipe is pressed and moves to the opened diversion pipe and is transported to the corresponding molding machine, thus realizing the convenient transportation of raw material from one hopper to multiple molding machines.
[0007] Optionally, the control component includes a baffle plate slidably connected inside the distribution pipe and a drive structure for driving the baffle plate to slide toward or away from the distribution pipe, the drive structure being connected to the distribution pipe, and the baffle plate being used to cover the feed inlet of the distribution pipe.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving structure drives the baffle plate to slide towards the diversion pipe, causing the baffle plate to abut against the diversion pipe and cover the feed inlet of the diversion pipe, thereby closing the diversion pipe; conversely, the driving structure drives the baffle plate to slide away from the diversion pipe, separating the baffle plate from the diversion pipe, thereby opening the diversion pipe. Compared with the traditional manual adjustment method, this greatly simplifies the operation process, improves the automation level and work efficiency of the feeding system, and reduces errors and labor intensity caused by manual intervention.
[0009] Optionally, a sealing ring is connected to the side of the barrier plate near the diversion pipe, and the sealing ring is used to abut against the feed end of the diversion pipe.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring abuts against the feed end of the diversion pipe, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the baffle plate when covering the feed inlet of the diversion pipe, reducing material leakage during the conveying process, and ensuring the reliability of the feeding system.
[0011] Optionally, the barrier plate is provided with a positioning groove for the sealing ring to be engaged on the side near the diversion pipe, and the barrier plate is connected to a fixing structure for fixing the sealing ring.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning groove on the barrier plate provides an accurate installation position for the sealing ring, preventing the sealing ring from shifting or deflecting on the barrier plate, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing effect. The fixing structure further ensures that the sealing ring is firmly fixed to the barrier plate, preventing the sealing ring from falling off or loosening due to vibration or other external forces during use, thus improving the sealing performance.
[0013] Optionally, the barrier plate is formed with a protruding post, and the fixing structure includes an abutment ring sleeved on the protruding post and a fixing plate bent on the protruding post, wherein the abutment ring is clamped by the fixing plate and the sealing ring.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing plate is prevented from directly contacting the sealing ring during bending, thus protecting the sealing ring.
[0015] Optionally, the driving structure includes a connecting rod slidably connected within the distribution pipe, a driving component for driving the connecting rod to slide towards or away from the distribution pipe, and a rotating rod rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The driving component is connected to the distribution pipe. The baffle plate is provided with a mounting post, and the mounting post is provided with a mounting groove for the rotating rod to engage. The radius of the rotating rod is smaller than the radius of the mounting groove. A pin is connected within the mounting groove, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the pin.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the surface of the diverter pipe in contact with the baffle plate is inclined, the baffle plate rotates relative to the rotation of the rotating rod, and the rotating rod rotates around the axis of the connecting rod, so that the baffle plate fits better against the surface of the diverter pipe in contact with the baffle plate, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0017] Optionally, a channel is provided on one side of the distributing pipe, and a cover plate for covering the channel is connected to the distributing pipe. The cover plate is connected to the distributing pipe by a locking member, the driving member is connected to the cover plate, and the connecting rod passes through the cover plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable connection between the cover plate and the distribution pipe makes the installation and maintenance of the drive component and connecting rod more convenient, without the need to disassemble the entire distribution pipe. At the same time, the channel configuration provides space for the arrangement of the connecting rod.
[0019] Optionally, a sealing ring is provided between the cover plate and the dispensing pipe, the sealing ring surrounding the opening of the channel, and the sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the cover plate and the dispensing pipe.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring effectively seals the gap between the cover plate and the distribution pipe, preventing material from leaking through the gap during the conveying process and improving the sealing performance of the system.
[0021] Optionally, the feed pipe is provided with an annular groove, which is used to mate with the sealing ring.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the distribution pipe is equipped with an annular groove that cooperates with the sealing ring, which can effectively enhance the sealing performance between the distribution pipe and the cover plate, prevent material leakage during the conveying process, and simplify the design of the sealing structure.
[0023] Optionally, it includes several hoppers, several feed pipes, several distribution pipes, and several conveying pipes. The hoppers, feed pipes, and distribution pipes correspond one-to-one. The number of diversion pipes on each distribution pipe is the same as the number of conveying pipes. Each conveying pipe is connected to several connecting pipes. The number of connecting pipes on each conveying pipe is the same as the number of distribution pipes. The connecting pipes are connected to the diversion pipes.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple hoppers, feeding pipes, distribution pipes, and conveying pipes are set up and connected one by one, so that the number of distribution pipes on each distribution pipe matches the number of conveying pipes, and the number of connecting pipes on each conveying pipe matches the number of distribution pipes, thereby ensuring that materials can be accurately conveyed from different hoppers to the corresponding molding machines.
[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0026] 1. The end of each distribution pipe furthest from the feed pipe is connected to the corresponding molding machine. The control component controls the opening or closing of the corresponding distribution pipe, thereby controlling whether the corresponding molding machine can be fed. When the control valve is opened, the raw material in the hopper enters the feed pipe through the feed pipe into the distribution pipe. The raw material in the distribution pipe is pressed and moves to the opened distribution pipe and is transported to the corresponding molding machine, thus realizing the convenient transportation of raw material from one hopper to multiple molding machines.
[0027] 2. When the contact surface between the diverter and the baffle is inclined, the baffle rotates around the axis of the connecting rod relative to the rotation of the rotating rod, allowing the baffle to better fit the contact surface between the diverter and the baffle, thus improving the sealing effect.
