Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to screw conveyors, and more specifically to a hanging device for screw conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] A screw conveyor is a machine that uses a motor to drive a screw to rotate and push materials to achieve the purpose of conveying. It can perform horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveying and has the advantages of simple structure, small cross-sectional area, good sealing performance, and convenient operation. The working principle of a screw conveyor is that the rotating screw blades push the material to convey it. The reason why the material does not rotate with the screw conveyor blades is the material's own weight and the frictional resistance between the material and the screw conveyor casing. The screw shaft of the screw conveyor is equipped with a thrust bearing at the end in the direction of material movement. When the machine is long, the screw shaft is prone to bending and deformation under the action of the material's gravity and its own weight. Therefore, a hanging bearing device should be added in the middle to provide sufficient support.

[0003] Existing hanging bearing devices have complex structures. When applied in powder conveying channels, the bearings or bushings on the hanging bearing device, as well as the oil seals of the bearing sealing structure, are buried in the powder for a long time. The powder can enter the bearing sealing structure, bearing, and bushing, causing wear on the hanging bearing device and even jamming. This results in high maintenance costs, short service life, and easy contamination of materials. Therefore, it is imperative to find a hanging bearing device with a simple structure and long service life. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, a support plate is provided on the outer side of each vertical plate. The support plate is located on the side of the vertical plate away from the upper idler wheel, and a support bolt is installed on the support plate. The upper end of the support bolt abuts against the lower end of the bearing seat.

[0016] Furthermore, each of the two bearing housings has a bearing cap on both sides of the upper bearing.

[0017] Furthermore, lubrication holes are provided between the two bearing housings and the upper bearing to reduce bearing wear.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper idler wheel and the lower idler wheel are fixed to the upper connecting shaft and the lower connecting shaft respectively by welding.
