Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curved chute technology, specifically to an adjustment mechanism for curved chute. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, curved chutes are often used for material conveying, such as in mining, metallurgy, and coal industries. Curved chutes can change the direction of material conveying and realize the connection between different processes. However, existing curved chutes have some shortcomings in actual use.
[0003] Different production tasks have varying requirements for material conveying parameters. For example, in an ore crushing production line, the length of the curved chute may need to be adjusted to control the material conveying volume and time, depending on the crusher's processing capacity and the buffering needs of subsequent processes. In grain storage, the discharge direction of the curved chute needs to be changed to adapt to the feeding requirements of warehouses of different sizes, ensuring that the grain falls accurately into the designated location. However, traditional curved chute structures are fixed, and once installed, their length and discharge direction are difficult to adjust flexibly according to actual production conditions. If adjustments are needed, the entire chute system often requires large-scale disassembly and reinstallation, which not only consumes a lot of time and manpower but also leads to production interruptions, affecting the continuity and stability of production and increasing the company's operating costs. Therefore, an adjustment mechanism for curved chutes is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustment mechanism for curved chutes, which has the advantages of convenient adjustment and strong practicality, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustment mechanism for a curved chute, comprising a mounting frame, a curved chute being provided on the top of the mounting frame, a feed inlet being provided on the top of the curved chute, a first adjustment component being provided inside the curved chute, and a second adjustment component being provided on the top of the mounting frame.
[0006] Furthermore, the first adjustment component includes an extension tube movably connected inside the curved chute, one end of which is fixedly connected to an extension pipe, and the extension pipe is threaded with a bolt that penetrates the curved chute.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the extension tube is attached to the inner wall of the extension tube, and the end of the extension tube away from the extended tube is open.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has mounting holes inside.
[0009] Furthermore, the second adjustment component includes a fixed box fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box, a reducer is fixedly connected to one end of the motor, a first gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reducer, a second gear is meshed with one side of the first gear, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected inside the second gear, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the curved chute.
[0011] Furthermore, the ratio of the size of the first gear to the size of the second gear is 1:4.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The adjustment mechanism for the curved chute has a first adjustment component that uses an extender tube connected to the inside of the curved chute. One end of the extender tube is connected to a lengthening tube, and the lengthening tube has a threaded bolt that passes through the curved chute. This unique design allows the operator to easily rotate the bolt to move the lengthening tube and the extension tube within the curved chute according to the material conveying distance requirements in actual production. This allows for quick and convenient adjustment of the effective length of the curved chute. Whether it is necessary to extend the chute to increase the material conveying stroke or shorten the chute to adapt to a compact production space, this can be easily achieved without disassembling the entire chute system, greatly saving adjustment time and labor costs, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of production.
[0014] 2. The adjustment mechanism for the curved chute, the second adjustment component, has a fixed box on the top of the mounting frame, on which a motor and a reducer are mounted. The reducer drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear meshes with the second gear. The second gear drives the rotating shaft and the connecting plate to rotate, while the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the curved chute. This gear transmission mechanism has a precise transmission ratio. The operator can precisely control the rotation angle of the curved chute by precisely controlling the motor's operating parameters, such as speed and direction, thereby accurately adjusting the material's drop position. Whether in complex production layouts or processes with extremely high drop accuracy requirements, it can meet production needs, ensure that materials fall accurately into the designated position, and improve product quality and the cleanliness of the production site.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustment mechanism for a curved chute in this embodiment includes a mounting frame 1 with mounting holes 101 inside. A curved chute 2 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 1, and a feed inlet 3 is provided on the top of the curved chute 2. A first adjustment component 4 is provided inside the curved chute 2, and a second adjustment component 5 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 1.
[0022] The first adjustment component 4 includes an extension tube 401 movably connected inside the curved chute 2. One end of the extension tube 401 is fixedly connected to an extension pipe 402. A bolt 403 is threaded inside the extension pipe 402 and penetrates the curved chute 2. The outer wall of the extension pipe 402 is fitted against the inner wall of the extension pipe 402, and the end of the extension pipe 402 away from the extension tube 401 is open.
[0023] This structural feature ensures that the extended pipe 401 maintains a good fit with the curved chute 2 during movement, without any shaking or jamming, thus ensuring the stability of the adjusted structure. At the same time, the open design facilitates the smooth passage of materials through the adjustment area, reducing the risk of blockage during material transport, ensuring smooth and continuous material delivery, and improving production efficiency.
[0024] The first adjustment component 4 has an extension tube 401 that is movably connected inside the curved chute 2. One end of the extension tube 401 is connected to an extension tube 402, and the extension tube 402 is threaded with a bolt 403 that passes through the curved chute 2. This unique design allows the operator to easily rotate the bolt 403 to move the extension tube 402 and the extension tube 401 inside the curved chute 2 according to the material conveying distance requirements in actual production. This allows for quick and convenient adjustment of the effective length of the curved chute 2. Whether it is necessary to extend the chute 2 to increase the material conveying stroke or shorten the chute to adapt to a compact production space, this can be easily achieved without disassembling the entire chute system, greatly saving adjustment time and labor costs, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of production.
[0025] Secondly, the second adjustment assembly 5 includes a fixed housing 501 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 1. A motor 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed housing 501. A reducer 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the motor 502. A first gear 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reducer 503. A second gear 505 is meshed with one side of the first gear 504. A rotating shaft 506 is fixedly connected inside the second gear 505. A connecting plate 507 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 506. The connecting plate 507 is fixedly connected to the curved chute 2. The size ratio of the first gear 504 to the second gear 505 is 1:4.
[0026] This rational gear transmission ratio design enables the second adjustment component 5 to operate smoothly and efficiently during transmission. A larger transmission ratio amplifies the output torque of the motor 502, making the curved chute 2 easier and more stable during adjustment, reducing energy loss. Simultaneously, the smooth transmission reduces equipment wear and failure rate, extends the service life of the adjustment mechanism, lowers equipment maintenance costs and energy consumption, and achieves the goal of high-efficiency and energy-saving production.
[0027] The second adjustment component 5 has a fixed box 501 set on the top of the mounting frame 1. The fixed box 501 is equipped with a motor 502 and a reducer 503. The reducer 503 drives the first gear 504 to rotate. The first gear 504 meshes with the second gear 505. The second gear 505 drives the rotating shaft 506 and the connecting plate 507 to rotate. The connecting plate 507 is fixedly connected to the curved chute 2. This gear transmission mechanism has a precise transmission ratio. The operator can precisely control the rotation angle of the curved chute 2 by precisely controlling the operating parameters of the motor 502, such as the speed and direction of rotation. This allows for precise adjustment of the material drop position. Whether in a complex production layout or in a process with extremely high requirements for drop accuracy, this mechanism can meet production needs, ensure that the material falls accurately into the designated position, and improve product quality and the cleanliness of the production site.
[0028] The adjustment mechanism for the curved chute 3 organically combines the first adjustment component 4 and the second adjustment component 5, enabling flexible and precise adjustment of both the length and material drop position of the curved chute 2. This allows the entire material conveying system to better adapt to changes in different production processes and environments, improving the overall performance and stability of the production system. For example, during production, when it is necessary to change the material conveying route or drop point, operators can quickly and accurately complete the adjustment without requiring large-scale modifications, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of production.
[0029] Because of its convenient, quick, and precise adjustment features, this adjustment mechanism reduces equipment downtime and maintenance frequency, thereby lowering labor and equipment repair costs. Simultaneously, precise material control reduces material waste, improves resource utilization, and further reduces production costs for the enterprise. Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism's simple structure and easy operation, requiring low technical skills from operators, also saves the enterprise training and labor costs. In conclusion, this adjustment mechanism can bring significant economic and social benefits to the enterprise.
[0030] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0031] (1) The adjustment mechanism for the curved chute, the first adjustment component 4 is provided with an extension tube 401 that is movably connected inside the curved chute 2. One end of the extension tube 401 is connected to the extension tube 402, and the extension tube 402 is threaded with a bolt 403 that passes through the curved chute 2. This unique design allows the operator to easily rotate the bolt 403 according to the material conveying distance requirements in actual production, and push the extension tube 402 and the extension tube 401 to move inside the curved chute 2, thereby quickly and conveniently adjusting the effective length of the curved chute 2. Whether it is necessary to extend the chute 2 to increase the material conveying stroke or shorten the chute to adapt to the compact production space, it can be easily achieved without disassembling the entire chute system, which greatly saves adjustment time and labor costs and improves the flexibility and adaptability of production.
[0032] (2) The adjustment mechanism for the curved chute, the second adjustment component 5 is provided with a fixed box 501 on the top of the mounting frame 1. The fixed box 501 is equipped with a motor 502 and a reducer 503. The reducer 503 drives the first gear 504 to rotate. The first gear 504 meshes with the second gear 505. The second gear 505 drives the rotating shaft 506 and the connecting plate 507 to rotate. The connecting plate 507 is fixedly connected to the curved chute 2. This gear transmission mechanism has a precise transmission ratio. The operator can accurately control the rotation angle of the curved chute 2 by precisely controlling the operating parameters of the motor 502, such as the speed and direction of rotation. This allows for precise adjustment of the material drop position. Whether in a complex production layout or in a process link with extremely high drop accuracy requirements, it can meet production needs, ensure that the material falls accurately into the designated position, and improve product quality and the cleanliness of the production site.
