Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, and in particular to a material receiving auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] A belt dryer is a continuous conveying belt drying equipment that mainly achieves drying function through material conveying, hot air circulation, temperature control and humidity regulation. It is suitable for drying sheet-like, strip-like and granular materials with good air permeability, such as yam, artemisia capillaris and schisandra chinensis.
[0003] The existing belt dryer has a significant height difference between its discharge port and the ground, resulting in material splashing during discharge. Some material fails to flow into the transfer box and falls to the ground, causing a messy production area and posing a risk of contamination or mixing with the ground. Therefore, operators must handle the fallen material before continuing production, affecting production continuity and reducing efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, due to the high discharge speed of belt dryers, operators need to place a row of turnover boxes at the discharge port in advance. After the turnover boxes are full of material, new turnover boxes are pushed to replace them. During the process of pushing and replacing the turnover boxes, the turnover boxes have high friction with the ground, resulting in high labor intensity for operators and severe wear and tear on the ground, requiring frequent repairs, which in turn reduces economic efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings in related technologies, and this utility model provides a material receiving auxiliary device.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A material receiving auxiliary device is used to assist in receiving materials discharged from the outlet of a belt dryer. The material receiving auxiliary device includes a material receiving frame and a limiting component.
[0008] The receiving rack is provided with a guide channel, the bottom surface of which is inclined, with its higher side located below the discharge port; the guide channel is used to place turnover boxes; the limiting component is provided on the receiving rack, and the limiting component is used to restrict the turnover boxes below the discharge port.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, multiple support rollers are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the guide channel along its inclined direction, and the multiple support rollers are used to provide support for the turnover box.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the supporting surface formed by the plurality of supporting rollers for supporting the turnover box has an included angle α with the horizontal plane, and the value of α satisfies: 1°≤α≤3°.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the receiving rack includes a base frame and a guide frame. The base frame is provided with a docking groove, and the guide frame is installed in the docking groove of the base frame by a snap-fit method. The guide channel is provided on the guide frame.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lowest end of the support surface formed by the plurality of support rollers for supporting the turnover box is higher than the pallet used for transferring the turnover box.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the limiting component includes a baffle and a telescopic member. The telescopic member is installed on the receiving rack, and the baffle is fixedly installed on the movable end of the telescopic member. The telescopic member drives the baffle to extend, which can block and limit the sliding movement of the turnover box along the guide channel.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the telescopic component adopts an electric telescopic rod, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the receiving rack. The electric telescopic rod can drive the baffle to extend into the guide channel through the bottom of the guide channel and make the baffle pass over the support surface formed by the support roller.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the receiving rack is also provided with two baffles, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide channel.
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the receiving rack is made of stainless steel.
[0018] Compared with related technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] The material receiving auxiliary device provided by this utility model is mainly used to assist in receiving materials discharged from the outlet of a belt dryer.
[0020] In practical use, the material receiving rack must first be properly arranged, with the higher end of the guide channel placed directly below the discharge port of the belt dryer. After positioning the guide channel, the material receiving container is placed on the guide channel, ensuring it is also directly below the discharge port. At this point, the limiting component on the receiving auxiliary device limits the position of the container. This component secures the container, preventing it from shifting during material descent. As a result, the material discharged from the discharge port falls into the container, significantly reducing the possibility of splashing and improving receiving efficiency, thus avoiding material waste and increased cleaning work.
[0021] Once the turnover box is full of materials, workers need to transfer it. At this point, simply release the limiting components from the turnover box. Because the guide channel is inclined, after releasing the limits, the turnover box will automatically slide along the guide channel away from the discharge port under its own weight. Workers only need to move the turnover box to the designated location once it has slid to the appropriate position.
[0022] After a full container of materials is transferred away, the receiving process is not affected. Workers can quickly place the empty container back on the guide channel and reposition it using the limit switch to continue receiving materials. This design ensures continuous receiving operations, avoids interruptions caused by changing containers, reduces worker workload, and improves the efficiency and stability of the entire production process.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a material receiving auxiliary device for assisting in receiving materials discharged from the outlet 210 of a belt dryer. The material receiving auxiliary device includes a material receiving frame 100 and a limiting component 300.
[0035] The receiving rack 100 is provided with a guide channel 121, the bottom surface of which is inclined, with its higher side located below the discharge port 210; the guide channel 121 is used to place the turnover box 220; the limiting component 300 is provided on the receiving rack 100, and the limiting component 300 is used to restrict the turnover box 220 below the discharge port 210.
[0036] The material receiving auxiliary device provided in this embodiment is mainly used to assist in receiving the material discharged from the outlet 210 of the belt dryer.
[0037] In actual use, the material receiving rack 100 must first be properly arranged, with the higher end of the guide channel 121 positioned directly below the outlet 210 of the belt dryer. After positioning the guide channel 121, the material receiving container 220 is placed on the guide channel 121, ensuring it is also directly below the outlet 210. At this point, the limiting component 300 on the receiving auxiliary device limits the position of the container 220. The limiting component 300 fixes the container 220 in place, ensuring it remains securely on the guide channel 121 and does not shift during material descent. This ensures that material discharged from the outlet 210 falls into the container 220, significantly reducing the possibility of material splashing outwards, thus improving receiving efficiency and avoiding material waste and increased cleaning work.
[0038] Once the turnover box 220 is full of materials, workers need to perform a transfer operation. At this time, simply release the limiting component 300 from restricting the turnover box 220. Since the guide channel 121 is inclined, after the limit is released, the turnover box 220 will automatically slide along the guide channel 121 away from the discharge port 210 under its own weight. Workers only need to move the turnover box 220 to the designated location after it has slid to the appropriate position.
[0039] After the full-filled turnover box 220 is transferred away, it will not affect the receiving work. Workers can quickly place the empty turnover box 220 back on the guide channel 121 and stop it again through the limit component 300 to continue the receiving work. This design ensures that the receiving work can be carried out continuously, avoiding the interruption of receiving work due to changing the turnover box 220, while also reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the efficiency and stability of the entire production process.
[0040] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of support rollers 122 are evenly distributed along the inclined direction on the bottom surface of the guide channel 121, and the plurality of support rollers 122 are used to provide support for the turnover box 220; specifically, the rotation axis of each support roller 122 is perpendicular to the inclined direction of the bottom surface of the guide channel 121. This vertical arrangement can ensure that the support rollers 122 can exert their supporting and rolling functions to the maximum extent during rotation, making the movement of the turnover box 220 on the guide channel 121 more stable and smooth.
[0041] When the turnover box 220 finishes receiving materials and needs to slide down the guide channel 121 for transfer, after the limiting effect of the contact limiting component 300 on the turnover box 220 is released, no additional external force is required to push it. At this time, the turnover box 220 will tend to slide down along the inclined direction of the guide channel 121 under its own weight. The support roller 122, through its rolling support, greatly reduces the friction between the turnover box 220 and the bottom surface of the guide channel 121, allowing the turnover box 220 to slide down the guide channel 121 easily.
[0042] Furthermore, the design of the support rollers 122 has another significant advantage: it reduces wear on the turnover box 220 and the receiving rack 100. In traditional material receiving processes, the turnover box 220 directly slides and rubs against the ground or base plate during transfer. Over time, not only does the bottom of the turnover box 220 suffer severe wear, but scratches and wear also appear on the ground or support base plate, affecting the lifespan of the device and the material receiving efficiency. With the support rollers 122, the direct contact between the turnover box 220 and the bottom surface of the guide channel 121 is transformed into rolling contact with the support rollers 122, greatly reducing friction. This effectively reduces wear on the turnover box 220 and the receiving rack 100, extends the lifespan of the device, and lowers the company's maintenance costs.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, the support surface formed by the plurality of support rollers 122 for supporting the turnover box 220 has an angle α with the horizontal plane, the value of which satisfies: 1°≤α≤3°. When the turnover box 220 is placed on the support surface formed by the plurality of support rollers 122, due to the angle α between the support surface and the horizontal plane, under the action of its own weight, the turnover box 220 will have a downward sliding tendency along the inclined direction of the support surface. If the angle α is too large, the turnover box 220 will slide down too fast, and when it reaches the end of the guide channel 121, it may cause damage to the turnover box 220 itself and the receiving device below due to excessive impact force. At the same time, it is also difficult to control its stopping position, which is not conducive to subsequent transfer operations. If the angle α is too small, or even close to 0°, then the downward tendency of the turnover box 220 under the action of gravity will be very weak, and it may not be able to slide down smoothly along the guide channel 121, requiring additional external force to push it, which increases the complexity of the operation and the labor intensity.
[0044] By controlling the included angle α within the range of 1° to 3°, it is possible to ensure that the turnover box 220 has a clear downward trend under the action of gravity, while also ensuring that the turnover box 220 slides down the guide channel 121 at a smoother speed. This smooth downward speed makes the entire material receiving and transfer process safer and more stable, reducing various problems caused by excessive speed.
[0045] Furthermore, during the material receiving process of the turnover box 220, the limiting component 300 plays a crucial role in fixing the position of the turnover box 220, preventing it from shifting during material descent. As the amount of material inside the turnover box 220 increases during the receiving process, the top pressure exerted on the limiting component 300 under gravity gradually increases. By reasonably setting the included angle α, the rate of increase in the top pressure exerted by the turnover box 220 on the limiting component 300 is slowed down, effectively reducing the top pressure damage to the limiting component 300, extending the service life of the limiting component 300, and ensuring that the material receiving auxiliary device in this embodiment can be used reliably and stably.
[0046] In some specific embodiments, the receiving rack 100 includes a base frame 110 and a guide frame 120. The base frame 110 is provided with a docking groove 111, and the guide frame 120 is installed in the docking groove 111 of the base frame 110 by fastening. The guide channel 121 is provided on the guide frame 120. The docking installation of the base frame 110 and the guide frame 120 facilitates efficient disassembly and cleaning after long-term use in this embodiment, reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost of this embodiment.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, the lowest end of the support surface formed by the plurality of support rollers 122 for supporting the turnover box 220 is higher than the pallet 230 for transferring the turnover box 220, so as to ensure that the turnover box 220 can fall directly onto the pallet 230 responsible for transfer after sliding out along the guide channel 121, thereby improving the efficiency of material transfer and further reducing the workload of employees.
[0048] In some specific embodiments, the limiting component 300 includes a baffle 310 and a telescopic member 320. The telescopic member 320 is mounted on the receiving rack 100, and the baffle 310 is fixedly mounted on the movable end of the telescopic member 320. The telescopic member 320 drives the baffle 310 to extend, thereby blocking and limiting the sliding movement of the turnover box 220 along the guide channel 121. This method of blocking and limiting the turnover box 220 has a simple structure, reliable limiting, and is easy to maintain.
[0049] In some specific embodiments, the telescopic component 320 is an electric telescopic rod, and the baffle 310 is fixedly connected to the movable rod of the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod has the advantages of fast response speed and stable working state, which makes it easy to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the limit component 300.
[0050] In some specific embodiments, the electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the receiving rack 100. The electric telescopic rod can drive the baffle 310 to extend into the guide channel 121 through the bottom surface of the guide channel 121, and cause the baffle 310 to pass over the support surface formed by the support roller 122. With this design, when the baffle 310 extends from the bottom surface of the guide channel 121, it can directly act on the bottom of the turnover box 220 to block and limit the turnover box 220. Compared with the traditional limiting method, this method of limiting by extending the baffle 310 from the bottom surface of the guide channel 121 is more reliable and stable. It is not affected by the surface condition of the turnover box 220. Even if there is material attached to the surface of the turnover box 220 or there is some unevenness, the baffle 310 can still accurately contact the bottom of the turnover box 220 and achieve the limiting. At the same time, this limiting method will not cause too much interference to the loading and unloading process of the turnover box 220. When it is necessary to release the limit, the electric telescopic rod retracts, the baffle 310 retracts to the bottom of the guide channel 121, and the turnover box 220 can move smoothly, thus ensuring the efficiency and smooth operation of the entire material receiving and transfer process.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, the receiving rack 100 is also provided with two baffles 112, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide channel 121 to reduce the probability of material discharged from the discharge port 210 splashing onto the ground outside the guide channel 121, so that the material is gathered in the turnover box 220 or the guide channel 121 as much as possible, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the production site.
[0052] In some specific embodiments, the receiving rack 100 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel possesses many excellent properties, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing the receiving rack 100. First, stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance. In many production environments, the receiving rack 100 may come into contact with various corrosive substances, such as volatile gases generated during the drying process of some medicinal raw materials, and corrosive media formed by the mixture of moisture and impurities in the air. If the receiving rack 100 is made of ordinary metal, it is prone to rusting under the influence of these corrosive substances, leading to pitting, peeling, and other defects on the surface of the receiving rack 100. This not only affects its appearance but also reduces its structural strength and service life. Stainless steel, on the other hand, can effectively resist the erosion of these corrosive substances, forming a dense oxide film on its surface to prevent further corrosion reactions. This ensures that the receiving rack 100 can maintain good performance even in harsh environments and will not suffer structural damage or functional failure due to rust.
[0053] Secondly, stainless steel possesses high strength and hardness. During operation, the receiving rack 100 needs to bear the weight of the turnover box 220 and the materials. Especially during the placement and movement of a full turnover box 220, significant pressure and impact are exerted on the receiving rack 100. If the material strength of the receiving rack 100 is insufficient, deformation, bending, or even breakage can easily occur, severely affecting the normal operation of the receiving process. The high strength and hardness of stainless steel ensure that the receiving rack 100 maintains a stable shape and structure even under heavy loads, without significant deformation, thus providing reliable support for the turnover box 220 and ensuring the stability and safety of the entire receiving system.
[0054] Furthermore, stainless steel possesses excellent wear resistance. During the receiving process, the turnover box 220 frequently moves along the guide channel 121 of the receiving rack 100, generating friction with the surface of the receiving rack 100. If the wear resistance of the receiving rack 100 material is poor, wear marks will appear on its surface after a period of use, increasing the surface roughness of the guide channel 121. This not only increases the resistance when the turnover box 220 moves, affecting its smoothness, but may also scratch the surface of the turnover box 220, causing damage. The wear resistance of stainless steel effectively reduces this friction and wear, maintaining the smoothness and flatness of the guide channel 121, ensuring that the turnover box 220 can move easily and smoothly along the guide channel 121, further improving the efficiency and quality of the receiving process.
