Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding machine technology, specifically relating to a basalt feeding machine for adding basalt stone material during the melting and drawing process. Background Technology

[0002] Basalt material requires a stable and high melting temperature during the melting and drawing process, and also requires high uniformity of feeding. Since basalt raw material is in the shape of small stones and has poor fluidity, the stone needs to be automatically added into the furnace and fed evenly. To date, there is no feeding machine that can automatically and evenly add basalt material into the furnace. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a basalt feeder that can automatically and evenly add basalt material into a furnace.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a basalt feeding machine, characterized in that: it includes a main frame and a feeding hopper, a fixed feeding channel, a motor, a rotating shaft, and a rotating shaft top plate mounted on the main frame; the fixed feeding channel is connected to the main frame and is inclined; a movable feeding channel is provided inside the fixed feeding channel, the upper port of the movable feeding channel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper, and the lower port is located inside the fixed feeding channel; the rotating shaft top plate consists of multiple pieces, which are set on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is driven by the motor, and the rotating shaft top plate is engaged with the lower port of the movable feeding channel.

[0005] In the technical solution of this utility model, the two ends of the rotating shaft pass through the side wall of the fixed feeding channel and are installed on the fixed feeding channel through the rotating shaft bearing seat.

[0006] In the technical solution of this utility model, the rotating shaft and the motor are connected by motor gears, main shaft gears and chain transmission.

[0007] The top plate of the rotating shaft in the technical solution of this utility model consists of 4 pieces.

[0008] In the technical solution of this utility model, the top plate of the rotating shaft is evenly distributed along the rotating shaft at 360°.

[0009] The fixed feeding channel in the technical solution of this utility model is inclined at 45 degrees.

[0010] The movable feeding channel in the technical solution of this utility model is inclined at 45 degrees.

[0011] In the technical solution of this utility model, the motor is mounted on the main frame via a motor fixing base plate.

[0012] In the technical solution of this utility model, both the movable feeding plate at the bottom of the movable feeding channel and the fixed feeding plate at the bottom of the fixed feeding channel are smooth planes.

[0013] In the technical solution of this utility model, the starting control terminal of the motor is electrically connected to the liquid level controller of the feeding system.

[0014] This utility model employs a basalt feeder consisting of a main frame, a hopper mounted on the main frame, a fixed feeding channel, a motor, a rotating shaft, and a top plate on the rotating shaft. The fixed feeding channel is connected to the main frame and is inclined. A movable feeding channel is located within the fixed feeding channel. The upper end of the movable feeding channel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the hopper, while the lower end is located within the fixed feeding channel. Multiple top plates on the rotating shaft are mounted on the rotating shaft, which is connected to the motor. The top plates engage with the lower end of the movable feeding channel during the melting and drawing process. When the glass liquid level is detected to be below the set height, the level controller controls the motor to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft. The multiple top plates on the rotating shaft cyclically agitate the lower end of the movable feeding channel, causing it to oscillate back and forth like a winnowing basket, dislodging the basalt material into the fixed feeding channel. The material then flows into the furnace along the fixed feeding channel. When the glass liquid level is detected to reach the set height, the level controller stops the motor, thus completing one feeding cycle.

[0015] This invention is mainly used for adding basalt stone materials during the melting and drawing process. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one embodiment of the basalt feeding machine of this utility model consists of a main frame 10 and a feeding hopper 1, a fixed feeding channel 3, a motor 5, a rotating shaft 12 and a rotating shaft top plate 4 mounted on the main frame 10.

[0023] The hopper 1 is a square pyramid shape and is fixed to the upper part of the main frame 10. The bottom outlet of the hopper 1 is square and located directly below the hopper 1.

[0024] The fixed feeding channel 3 is a square pyramid shape with a larger upper port and a smaller lower port. The upper port is fixedly connected to the bottom outlet of the hopper 1, and the lower port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main frame 10. It is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees. The surface of the fixed feeding plate at the bottom of the fixed feeding channel 3 is a smooth plane.

[0025] A movable feeding channel 2 is provided within the fixed feeding channel 3. The movable feeding channel 2 is a square pyramid shape, with its upper end rotatably connected to the bottom of the hopper 1, and its lower end located within the fixed feeding channel 3. The movable feeding channel 2 is inclined at 45 degrees. The movable feeding plate at the bottom of the movable feeding channel 2 is a smooth plane.

[0026] The motor 5 is mounted on the main frame 10 via a motor mounting base plate 6. The motor 5 is equipped with a motor gear 9. The start control terminal of the motor 5 is electrically connected to the liquid level controller of the feeding system.

[0027] The top plate 4 of the rotating shaft consists of four pieces, evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 12. Both ends of the rotating shaft 12 protrude from the side wall of the fixed feeding channel 3, and are respectively mounted on the fixed feeding channel 3 via rotating shaft bearing seats 11. The top plate 4 is located inside the fixed feeding channel 3 and engages with the lower end of the movable feeding channel 2. A main shaft gear 8 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 12, which is connected to the motor gear 9 via a chain 7.

[0028] The feeder, along with a platinum probe and a level controller, forms the feeding system. The platinum probe detects the glass melt level and transmits the signal to the level controller, which then controls the feeder.

[0029] When the glass liquid level is detected to be lower than the set height, the liquid level controller controls the motor 5 to rotate. The motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate through the motor gear 9, chain 7 and main shaft gear 8. When the four rotating shaft top plates 4 on the rotating shaft 12 rotate, they will push the movable feeding channel 2 upward in sequence. After the rotating shaft top plates 4 have rotated, the movable feeding channel 2 will fall down. During the rotation, the movable feeding plate of the movable feeding channel 2 will oscillate back and forth like a winnowing basket, shaking the stone material out to the fixed feeding plate of the fixed feeding channel 3. Since the fixed feeding plate is smooth and inclined, the stone material will flow into the furnace along the fixed feeding plate. At this time, the liquid level will rise continuously. When the liquid level rises, the platinum probe detects the liquid level after setting the height, the liquid level controller stops outputting, the motor 5 stops rotating and stops feeding, and at this time one feeding cycle is completed.

[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
