[0044] Example 1
[0045] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a movable material trough system, which includes a mounting frame 10, a material hopper 20, an adjustment assembly 50, and a leveling component 60. The mounting frame 10 has a receiving cavity 101 with a first side opening 1011. The material hopper 20 is configured to be placed within the receiving cavity 101. Movable wheels 30 are connected to the bottom end of the material hopper 20, allowing the material hopper 20 to move into or out of the receiving cavity 101 through the first side opening 1011. Exemplarily, the first side opening 1011 is adjacent to the bottom end face of the mounting frame 10, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the movable wheels 30. Exemplarily, the movable wheels 30 may include casters and conventional wheels; using casters facilitates adjustment of the movement angle. For example, the number of movable wheels 30 can be at least two or at least four (four movable wheels 30 are shown in the figure). When the number of movable wheels 30 is at least four, two movable wheels 30 are arranged as a group. When viewed relative to the first side opening 1011, the two movable wheels 30 in each group are arranged horizontally, and the movable wheels 30 in different groups are arranged vertically. One end of the material box 20 adjacent to the first side opening 1011 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 10 via the first connecting assembly 40, so that the material box 20 can be detached from the mounting frame 10. The material box 20 has a material trough 201 disposed opposite to the movable wheels 30. The liquid level component 60 is detachably connected to the adjusting assembly 50 via the second connecting assembly 70, so that the liquid level component 60 can be detached from the adjusting assembly 50. The adjusting assembly 50 is used to drive the liquid level component 60 to reciprocate along the depth direction in the material trough 201 to adjust the liquid level.
[0046] In this application, when it is necessary to replace the liquid level component 60 and the tank 20, the liquid level component 60 can be detached from the adjusting assembly 50 first, then the liquid level component 60 can be placed in the tank 201, and then the tank 20 can be detached from the mounting bracket 10. The liquid level component 60 can then be moved out of the first side opening 1011 using the tank 20. When replacing the liquid level component 60 and the tank 20, the liquid level component 60 can be moved into the receiving cavity 101 from the first side opening 1011 using the tank 20, and the tank 20 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 10. Then the liquid level component 60 can be fixed to the adjusting assembly 50.
[0047] In this application, by detachably connecting the material tank 20 to the mounting bracket 10 and the liquid level component 60 to the adjustment assembly 50, at least one of the material tank 20 and the liquid level component 60 can be replaced as needed, thereby improving the flexibility of the movable material tank system. In addition, it also facilitates the replacement of the liquid along with the material tank 20, thereby improving the liquid replacement speed and thus improving the system's operating efficiency.
[0048] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment assembly 50 includes a drive assembly 51 and a mounting member 52 connected to each other. The drive assembly 51 drives the mounting member 52 to reciprocate along the depth direction X of the material trough 201. The leveling member 60 is detachably connected to the mounting member 52 via a second connecting assembly 70. The second connecting assembly 70 includes a first connecting arm 71 and a threaded knob 72. One end of the first connecting arm 71 is connected to one of the mounting member 52 and the leveling member 60, and the other end of the first connecting arm 71 protrudes towards the other. In this embodiment, one end of the first connecting arm 71 is connected to the leveling member 60, and the other end of the first connecting arm 71 protrudes towards the mounting member 52. The threaded knob 72 is screwed onto the protruding ends of the mounting member 52 and the first connecting arm 71. Exemplarily, the mounting member 52 and the first connecting arm 71 can be stacked.
[0049] In some embodiments, the second connecting assembly 70 further includes a first connecting seat 73, a first limiting groove 74, a first limiting block 75, and a second limiting block 76. The first connecting seat 73 protrudes from the side of the first connecting arm 71 and is connected to the liquid level member 60. For example, the first connecting seat 73 can be connected to the first connecting arm 71, thereby enabling the connecting end of the first connecting arm 71 to be connected to the liquid level member 60. Viewed relative to the first side opening, the first limiting groove 74 includes a first groove portion 741 and a second groove portion 742 that are connected. The first groove portion 741 forms the bottom of the first limiting groove 74, and the groove width of the first groove portion 741 is greater than the groove width of the second groove portion 742. One of the first connecting seat 73 and the mounting member 52 is provided with a first limiting block 75 protruding towards the other, and the other of the first connecting seat 73 and the mounting member 52 is provided with a first limiting groove 74. In this embodiment, the connecting end of the first limiting block 75 is connected to the first connecting seat 73, the protruding end faces the mounting member 52, and the first limiting groove 74 is provided on the mounting member 52. This helps to ensure the connection strength between the first limiting groove 74 and the limiting block while reducing the volume of the first connecting seat 73, thereby reducing the overall volume. The projection of the second limiting block 76 is placed outside the first limiting block 75, and the second limiting block 76 is fixed to the protruding end of the first limiting block 75. For example, the second limiting block 76 and the first limiting block 75 can be integrally formed. The first limiting block 75 is placed within the second groove 742 and the first groove 741, and the second limiting block 76 is limited to the first groove 741. That is, the second limiting block 76 cannot move from the second groove 742 to the first groove 741 or needs to overcome resistance, thereby ensuring the engagement strength. Viewed relative to the first side opening 1011, the first limiting groove 74 has a second side opening 740, allowing the first limiting block 75 and the second limiting block 76 to move into or out of the first limiting groove 740. The first connecting arm 71 and the first limiting block 75 are arranged laterally. For example, there can be two second side openings 740, one facing the first side opening 1011 and the other facing away from the first side opening 1011. The second connecting assembly 70 adds a first connecting seat 73, a first limiting groove 74, a first limiting block 75, and a second limiting block 76, which on the one hand ensures the connection strength, and on the other hand improves the ease of assembly. During disassembly, the threaded knob 72 can be loosened first, and then the first limiting block 75 and the second limiting block 76 can be moved toward the second side opening 740 to disassemble the liquid level component 60 and the mounting component 52. During assembly, the first limiting block 75 and the second limiting block 76 are installed first, and then the threaded knob 72 is tightened.
[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3The number of the first limiting groove 74, the first limiting block 75, and the second limiting block 76 are the same, and there are at least two of each (two are shown in the figure). Each first limiting groove 74 is provided with one first limiting block 75 and one second limiting block 76, with at least two first limiting blocks 75 arranged in a row, and the first connecting arm 71 is placed between two adjacent first limiting blocks 75. It can be understood that at least two first limiting grooves 74 are also arranged in a row, and at least two second limiting blocks 76 are also arranged in a row. Increasing the number of limiting grooves and limiting blocks helps to improve the connection strength. For example, when multiple second limiting blocks 76 are provided, the two second limiting blocks 76 on both sides of the first connecting arm 71 can simultaneously protrude towards the first connecting arm 71 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown), one of them can be positioned to protrude toward the first connecting arm 71, while the other is positioned away from the first connecting arm 71.
[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first connecting seat 73 is provided with a mounting groove 730, and the mounting member 52 is provided with a first limiting groove 74. The mounting groove 730 includes a third groove portion 731 and a fourth groove portion 732. Viewed relative to the first side opening 1011, the cross-section of the third groove portion 731 is trapezoidal (exemplarily, it can be an isosceles trapezoid), and the larger end of the third groove portion 731 has a third side opening 7310. The fourth groove portion 732 is connected to the smaller end of the third groove portion 731 by a constant diameter. The third side opening 7310 is used for the first limiting block 75 to slide into the fourth groove portion 732, that is, the first limiting block 75 moves from the third side opening 7310 through the larger end of the third groove portion 731 to the smaller end and enters the fourth groove portion 732. The shape of the third groove portion 731 facilitates the quick positioning of the first limiting block 75, thereby improving assembly convenience. The first limiting block 75 fits against the side wall of the third groove 731 and protrudes from the opening of the third groove 731. The first limiting block 75 is also detachably connected to the bottom wall of the third groove 731 via a first connecting pin 751. For example, the first connecting pin 751 can be screwed to the first limiting block 75 and the bottom wall of the third groove 731. The first limiting block 75 is detachable, which facilitates replacement of the limiting block as needed, thereby improving maintainability and flexibility of use. For example, the mounting groove 730 may include a fourth groove 732 and two third grooves 731. One third groove 731 is connected to the end of the fourth groove 732 facing the first side opening 1011, and the other third groove 731 is connected to the end of the fourth groove 732 away from the first side opening 1011, thereby increasing the number of directions for assembling and disassembling the first limiting block 75 to improve the flexibility of assembly and disassembly. It is understood that the mounting slot 730 may also include a fourth slot 732 and a third slot 731, thereby allowing the first limiting block 75 to be installed or removed from one side of the mounting slot 730.
[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The first connecting assembly 40 includes a second connecting arm 41, a third connecting arm 42, and a second connecting pin 43. One end of the second connecting arm 41 is connected to the wall of the receiving cavity 101 adjacent to the first side opening 1011. Exemplarily, the second connecting arm 41 can be connected to the wall of the receiving cavity 101 by screws. The other end of the second connecting arm 41 extends into the receiving cavity 101 and is spaced apart from the material box 20, so as not to obstruct the movement of the material box 20. One end of the third connecting arm 42 is connected to the end of the material box 20 adjacent to the first side opening 1011. In some embodiments, the third connecting arm 42 is also positioned on the side of the material box 20 facing the first side opening 1011. Exemplarily, the third connecting arm 42 can be fixed by connecting pins. The other end of the third connecting arm 42 protrudes from the material box 20 toward the second connecting arm 41. The second connecting pin 43 is detachably connected to the protruding end of the third connecting arm 42 and the inserted end of the second connecting arm 41. Exemplarily, the protruding end of the third connecting arm 42 and the inserted end of the second connecting arm 41 can be stacked. For example, the protruding end of the third connecting arm 42 and the inserted end of the second connecting arm 41 can be screwed together by the second connecting pin 43, or the second connecting pin 43 can be passed through the protruding end of the third connecting arm 42 and the inserted end of the second connecting arm 41 and then fixed with a nut. The use of connecting arms and connecting pins enables a detachable connection between the material box and the mounting bracket, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and has a simple structure.
[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The movable material tank system also includes a first magnetic attractor 80 and a second magnetic attractor 81. For example, the first magnetic attractor 80 may include a magnetic knob (an open-source component, a type of electromagnet) or a magnet, and the second magnetic attractor 81 may include metal or a magnet with magnetic properties opposite to those of the first magnetic attractor 80. One of the first magnetic attractor 80 and the second magnetic attractor 81 is disposed on the liquid level component 60, and the other is disposed within the material tank 201. The first magnetic attractor 80 and the second magnetic attractor 81 can be magnetically attached and fixed, so that the liquid level component 60, which is removed from the self-adjusting assembly 50, can be fixed within the material tank 201. This ensures that the liquid level component 60 will not move when the material tank 20 is moved, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the liquid level component 60 and the material tank 201 during movement. In this embodiment, the first magnetic attractor 80 is a magnetic knob disposed within the material tank 201, and the second magnetic attractor 81 may be a metal block disposed on the liquid level component 60. The magnetic adsorption and desorption can be controlled autonomously by a magnetic knob, which makes it easy to remove the liquid level component 60 from the material tank 201.
[0054] In practical use, after the liquid level component 60 is detached from the adjustment component 50, it is fixed in the material trough 201 of the material box 20 by the first magnetic suction component 80 and the second magnetic suction component 82, and then moves out of the mounting frame 10 together with the material box 20.
[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Viewed relative to the first side opening 1011, at least one of the left and right side walls of the receiving cavity 101 is provided with a plurality of roller assemblies 92. In this embodiment, both the left and right side walls of the receiving cavity 101 are provided with a plurality of roller assemblies 92. The plurality of roller assemblies 92 are arranged in a row in a direction away from the first side opening 1011. Each roller assembly 92 includes a connecting shaft 921 and a roller 922 connected to each other. The connecting shaft 921 protrudes from the side wall of the receiving cavity 101, and the roller 922 can rotate around the connecting shaft 921. The outer side of the material box 20 is recessed to form a guide groove 202 (in this embodiment, the opposite sides of the material box are recessed to form guide grooves 202 and are interconnected). The circumferential surface of each roller 922 of the plurality of roller assemblies 92 on each side wall is attached to the side wall of a guide groove 202, so that the material box 20 can move out of or into the receiving cavity 101 along the arrangement direction of the roller assemblies 92. The roller assembly 92 and the guide groove 202 facilitate the directional movement of the hopper 20 and also help reduce the resistance to directional movement.
[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive assembly 51 includes a guide rail 511 and a drive member 512. The guide rail 511 is disposed on the mounting bracket 10 and extends along the depth direction of the material trough 201. The guide rail 511 is located on the side of the material box 20 away from the movable wheel 30. The mounting member 52 can reciprocate along the guide of the guide rail 511. For example, the guide rail 511 can pass through the mounting member 52, or the reciprocating movement of the mounting member 52 along the guide of the guide rail 511 can be achieved by a sliding groove and a convex rail engaging. The drive member 512 is connected to the mounting member 52 to provide the driving force for reciprocating motion. For example, the drive member 512 can be a motor. The drive member 512 can be screwed to the mounting member 52 by a lead screw 53. Therefore, when the drive member 512 provides rotational power, the mounting member 52 can reciprocate along the extension direction of the lead screw 53 under the driving force of the thread. For example, mounting seats can be provided at both ends of the guide rail 511, and the lead screw 53 can be rotatably connected between the two mounting seats. The drive unit 512 can be mounted on the mounting seat. It is understood that the drive unit 512 can also be fixed to the mounting bracket 10. For example, the drive unit 512 can also be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and the drive unit can be directly connected to the mounting component. The end face of the liquid level component 60 away from the movable wheel 30 is also provided with a handle 61, which is bent to form a grip hole together with the liquid level component 60.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] The difference from Example 1 is that, referring to Figure 5The movable trough system also includes a second connecting seat 90 and a locking assembly 91. One of the locking assembly 91 and the second connecting seat 90 is disposed on the liquid level member 60, and the other is disposed within the trough 201. In this embodiment, the second connecting seat 90 is disposed on the liquid level member 60, and the locking assembly 91 is disposed within the trough 201. Exemplarily, the second connecting seat 90 can be installed on the liquid level member 60 by welding or screw fixing. The second connecting seat has a second limiting groove 903. The second limiting groove 903 has two opposing fourth side openings 904. The second limiting groove 903 includes a fifth groove portion 901 and a sixth groove portion 902. The vertical cross-section of the fifth groove portion 901 is trapezoidal, and the sixth groove portion 902 is of equal diameter and communicates with the larger end of the fifth groove portion 901 to form the bottom of the second limiting groove 903. The locking assembly 91 has a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking assembly 91 includes a third limiting block 911, a fourth limiting block 912, a first locking member 913, and a second locking member 914. The third limiting block 911 is located on one of the liquid level member 60 and the material tank 20 and protrudes towards the other. The fourth limiting block 912 is located on the protruding end of the third limiting block 911. For example, the third limiting block 911 and the fourth limiting block 912 can be integrally formed. The projection of the fourth limiting block 912 is located outside the third limiting block 911, which is located within the fifth groove 901 and the sixth groove 902. The fourth limiting block 912 is positioned within the sixth groove 902 (the specific engagement method can be referred to the engagement method of the first limiting groove 74, the first limiting block 75, and the second limiting block 76). The first locking member 913 protrudes from the third limiting block 911 onto the fourth limiting block 912. For example, the first locking member 913 can be integrally formed with the fourth limiting block 912, thus making it non-rotatable. In some embodiments, the first locking member 913 can also be configured to be rotatably connected (see the second locking member 914 for details). The second locking member 914 is rotatably connected to the end of the fourth limiting block away from the first locking member 913, so that when in the locked state, both the second locking member 914 and the first locking member 913 can abut against the edge of the fourth side opening 904, and when in the unlocked state, the projection of the second locking member 914 is at least placed inside the fourth limiting block 912 (in this application, the projection of the second locking member 914 can be placed inside both the fourth limiting block 912 and the third limiting block 911), and the third limiting block 911 and the fourth limiting block 912 can disengage from the fourth side opening 904. For example, a mounting hole may be provided at one end of the fourth limiting block 912 away from the first locking member 913, and a rotating shaft (not shown) is fixed at one end of the fourth limiting block 912. The rotating shaft is inserted into the mounting hole and can rotate in the mounting hole, thereby realizing that the second locking member 914 is rotatably connected to the fourth limiting block 912.
[0059] In practical use, after the liquid level component 60 is detached from the adjustment assembly 50, it is fixed in the material trough 201 of the material box 20 via the second connecting seat 90 and the locking assembly 91, and then moves out of the mounting bracket 10 along with the material box 20. During fixing, the second locking component 914 and the first locking component 913 abut against the edge of the fourth side opening 904, thereby preventing the third limiting block 911 and the fourth limiting block 912 from disengaging from the fourth side opening 904. The cooperation of the second limiting groove 903, the third limiting block 911, and the fourth limiting block 912 prevents the limiting block from disengaging from the groove opening direction of the second limiting groove 912.
[0060] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
