Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a single-outlet material feeding bin. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, material feeding is a crucial step in many processes. Traditional feeding silos have relatively simple structures, typically only possessing basic holding and feeding functions. For example, some common feeding silos consist of only a simple silo body and a discharge port at the bottom. During feeding, material easily accumulates and clogs at the discharge port, leading to uneven feeding and impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, traditional feeding silos present numerous inconveniences in terms of cleaning and maintenance. Due to their unreasonable structural design, material easily remains inside the silo, requiring significant manpower and time for cleaning, increasing production costs. Simultaneously, some traditional feeding silos lack effective vibration or drainage devices, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the feeding speed and flow rate according to actual production needs, thus failing to meet the requirements of modern industrial production for efficient and precise feeding. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model provides a single-outlet feeding bin, which mainly solves the problems of low feeding efficiency and low accuracy of the feeding bin in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A single-outlet feeding hopper includes a frame, a feeding hopper body, a guide hopper body, a vibrating motor, a support base, and a tilting door. The feeding hopper body is mounted on the frame and extends longitudinally along its length and laterally along its width. The feeding hopper body has a feeding port at its bottom. The guide hopper body has a lower portion and includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate, and a bottom plate. The first, second, and third side plates are respectively located on three edges of the bottom plate, giving the guide hopper body an upper opening and a side opening. A portion of the upper opening is connected to the feeding port. The tilting door is hinged to the guide hopper body and located at the side openings. The bottom plate is inclined, gradually tilting downwards from the end furthest from the side opening towards the end closest to it. The guide hopper body is connected to the frame via the support base, and the vibrating motor is located on the lower surface of the bottom plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the feeding hopper includes a front side plate, a rear side plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, and two inclined plates. The front side plate, rear side plate, left side plate, and right side plate are connected end to end to form a frame. The two inclined plates are located on the horizontal sides of the lower end of the frame. Both inclined plates gradually slope downward from the end away from the feeding port to the end closer to the feeding port, and a feeding port is formed between the two inclined plates.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two support seats, which are distributed on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the feed hopper. Each support seat includes a base on the frame, two connecting seats on the first and second side plates, and two rubber shock absorbers. The base and the connecting seats are connected by bolts, and the rubber shock absorbers are sleeved on the bolts and distributed between the base and the connecting seats.
[0008] Furthermore, the side opening of the feed hopper body, located on the outside of the flip door, is provided with positioning pin holes.
[0009] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This single-discharge feeding hopper, through the setting of a feeding hopper body and a guide hopper body with a specific structure, connects the feeding port at the bottom of the feeding hopper body with the opening area on the upper part of the guide hopper body, and the bottom plate of the guide hopper body is inclined, gradually tilting downwards from the end away from the side opening to the end closer to the side opening. This design allows the material to slide naturally down along the inclined direction of the bottom plate. After entering the guide hopper body from the feeding port, it can smoothly move along the inclined bottom plate to the vicinity of the side opening, effectively avoiding the accumulation and blockage of material during the feeding process. The design significantly improves material feeding efficiency and ensures the continuity of the production process. It also facilitates external observation of the material condition within the feed hopper and allows for timely unblocking. The hinged rotating door, located at the side opening, allows material to flow smoothly when pushed open during feeding. Closing the door prevents leakage and enhances the flexibility and controllability of the equipment when feeding needs to be paused for maintenance or cleaning. Furthermore, the vibration motor, positioned on the lower surface of the feed hopper's base plate, vibrates the hopper during operation. This vibration loosens the material, reducing friction and adhesion, and further promoting flow. This is particularly beneficial for materials with poor flowability and a tendency to clump; vibration-assisted feeding significantly improves the smoothness and uniformity of the feeding process.

[0013] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] The embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0015] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a single-outlet feeding hopper includes a frame 1, a feeding hopper body 2, a guide hopper body 3, a vibrating motor 4, a support base 5, and a tilting door 6. The feeding hopper body 2 is mounted on the frame 1, extending longitudinally along its length and laterally along its width. The bottom of the feeding hopper body 2 has a feeding port 20. The guide hopper body 3 has a lower portion of the feeding hopper body 2 and includes a first side plate 31, a second side plate 32, a third side plate 33, and a bottom plate 34. The first side plate 31... 1. The second side plate 32 and the third side plate 33 are respectively provided on three edges of the bottom plate 34, so that the guide hopper 3 has an upper opening 30 and a side opening 40. A part of the upper opening 30 is connected to the discharge port 20. The flip door 6 is hinged to the guide hopper 3 and is distributed at the side opening 40. The bottom plate 34 is inclined and gradually tilts downward from the end away from the side opening 40 to the end closer to the side opening 40. The guide hopper 3 is connected to the frame 1 through the support base 5. The vibration motor 4 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 34.
[0016] This single-discharge hopper, through the setting of a discharge hopper body 2 and a guide hopper body 3 with a specific structure, connects the discharge port 20 at the bottom of the discharge hopper body 2 with a portion of the opening 30 on the top of the guide hopper body 3. The bottom plate 34 of the guide hopper body 3 is inclined, gradually sloping downwards from the end furthest from the side opening 40 to the end closer to the side opening 40. This design allows materials to slide naturally down the inclined direction of the bottom plate. After entering the guide hopper body 3 from the discharge port 20, they can smoothly move along the inclined bottom plate 34 to the vicinity of the side opening 40, effectively avoiding material accumulation and blockage during the discharge process, greatly improving discharge efficiency, ensuring the continuity of the production process, and facilitating external observation of the material condition inside the guide hopper body for timely monitoring. The rotating door 6 is hinged to the feed hopper 3 and located at the side opening 40. When material is being fed, the rotating door 6 is pushed open, and the material can flow out smoothly. When it is necessary to stop feeding or to perform equipment maintenance or cleaning, the rotating door 6 is closed to prevent material leakage and enhance the flexibility and controllability of the equipment. At the same time, the vibration motor 4 is located on the lower surface of the bottom plate 34 of the feed hopper 3. When the vibration motor 4 is working, it can drive the feed hopper 3 to vibrate. This vibration can make the material looser, reduce the friction and adhesion between materials, and further promote the flow of materials. Especially for some materials with poor flowability and easy to clump, vibration-assisted feeding can significantly improve the smoothness and uniformity of feeding.
[0017] Specifically, the feeding hopper 2 includes a front side plate 21, a rear side plate 22, a left side plate 23, a right side plate 24, and two inclined plates 25. The front side plate 21, rear side plate 22, left side plate 23, and right side plate 24 are connected end to end to form a frame. The two inclined plates 25 are located on the horizontal sides of the lower end of the frame. Both inclined plates 25 gradually slope downward from the end away from the feeding port 20 to the end closer to the feeding port 20, and the feeding port 20 is formed between the two inclined plates 25.
[0018] The feeding hopper adopts a frame structure formed by connecting the front side plate 21, rear side plate 22, left side plate 23, and right side plate 24 end to end. Two inclined plates 25 are set on the horizontal sides at the lower end of the frame. This structure makes the feeding hopper 2 a relatively closed and stable whole. The side plates support each other and can withstand the impact and pressure generated by the material during the feeding process, effectively enhancing the structural strength and stability of the feeding hopper 2 and extending the service life of the equipment. The two inclined plates 25 gradually slope downward from the end away from the feeding port 20 to the end closer to the feeding port 20, and the feeding port 20 is formed between the two inclined plates 25. This feeding port 20 design allows the material to flow out from the feeding port 20 more concentratedly during the flow process, avoiding the problem of uneven material dispersion during the feeding process, improving the accuracy and stability of the feeding, and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent production processes.
[0019] Furthermore, there are two support seats 5, which are distributed on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the feed hopper 3. Each support seat 5 includes a base 51 on the frame 1, two connecting seats 52 on the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 32, and two rubber shock absorbers 53. The base 51 and the connecting seats 52 are connected by bolts, and the rubber shock absorbers 53 are sleeved on the bolts and distributed between the base 51 and the connecting seats 52.
[0020] When the vibration generated by the vibratory motor 4 is transmitted to the feed hopper 3, the rubber shock absorber 53 can play a good role in buffering and damping, dispersing and absorbing the vibration energy, reducing the direct impact of vibration on the frame 1, protecting the structural integrity of the frame 1, reducing the risk of damage to the frame 1 due to long-term vibration, and extending the service life of the frame 1. By reasonably setting the number and position of the support seats 5, the feed hopper 3 can be stably supported on the frame 1. During the operation of the vibratory motor 4, the two support seats 5 can work together to ensure that the feed hopper 3 remains balanced in the longitudinal direction, avoiding swaying or displacement due to vibration, ensuring the stability and reliability of equipment operation, and improving the quality and accuracy of material feeding. The structural design of this support seat 5 is simple and reasonable, and it is easy to install and disassemble. During equipment installation, operators can quickly connect the support seat 5 to the frame 1 and the feed hopper 3; during equipment maintenance, it is also convenient to inspect the support seat 5 and replace the rubber shock absorber 53, reducing the maintenance cost and maintenance time of the equipment and improving the maintainability of the equipment.
[0021] Furthermore, the side opening 40 of the material guide hopper 3, located on the outer side of the flip door 6, is provided with positioning pin holes 7, which are used in conjunction with positioning pins. When the flip door 6 is closed, the positioning pins are inserted into the positioning pin holes 7, providing a reliable fixing point for the flip door 6. This effectively prevents the flip door 6 from accidentally opening due to vibration during the operation of the vibration motor 4, ensuring that the material inside the material guide hopper 3 can be discharged along the predetermined path, avoiding environmental pollution and material waste caused by material leakage. The positioning pin holes 7, in conjunction with the hinge structure of the flip door 6, make the entire discharge hopper structure more coordinated and unified. This design not only meets the functional requirement of fixing the flip door 6, but also makes the equipment look more neat and beautiful, improving the overall quality and image of the equipment.
[0022] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the rubber shock absorber 53 is provided with spiral reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs extend along the axial direction of the rubber shock absorber 53. The spiral reinforcing ribs on the outer surface of the rubber shock absorber 53 can enhance the structural strength and stability of the rubber shock absorber 53. When the vibration motor is working, the rubber shock absorber 53 needs to withstand large pressure and vibration. The reinforcing ribs can prevent the rubber shock absorber 53 from being damaged due to excessive deformation, thus ensuring its shock absorption effect. At the same time, the spiral design can better disperse stress, improve the overall performance of the rubber shock absorber 53, and extend its service life.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
