[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a material leveling and conveying device, which includes a conveyor belt (not shown), a support frame 100, a first movable seat 200, a material leveling body 300, and a driving component 400.
[0048] The conveyor belt is used to transport the filaments; the first movable seat 200 is mounted on the support frame 100, and the height of the first movable seat 200 relative to the support frame 100 in the vertical direction is adjustable; the material leveling body 300 is mounted above the conveyor belt, and the material leveling body 300 includes a roller 310 and a plurality of material leveling plates 320 spaced apart along the circumference of the roller 310. The roller 310 is rotatably mounted on the first movable seat 200, and the length direction of the material leveling plates 320 extends along the rotation direction of the roller 310; the driving member 400 is mounted on the support frame 100, and the driving member 400 is used to drive the roller 310 to rotate and drive the material leveling plates 320 to push and scrape the filaments on the conveyor belt.
[0049] When the stems are conveyed by the conveyor belt, the drive unit 400 is activated. The drive unit 400 drives the roller 310 to rotate and drives the leveling plate 320 to push and scrape the stems on the conveyor belt. This helps to distribute the stems evenly on the conveyor belt, thereby reducing flow fluctuations in the stems before fragrance addition and improving the fragrance quality of the stems. Multiple leveling plates 320 are spaced apart along the circumference of the roller 310, further contributing to the even distribution of stems on the conveyor belt. Furthermore, the vertical height of the first movable seat 200 relative to the support frame 100 is adjustable, allowing the vertical height of the leveling body 300 to be adjusted as well. This enables adjustable stem thickness on the conveyor belt, improving the applicability of the leveling and conveying device.
[0050] It is understandable that there is a gap between the leveling plate 320 closest to the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt, so that the strands on the conveyor belt that have been pushed and scraped by the leveling plate 320 maintain the required thickness.
[0051] It is understandable that the roller 310 has a large diameter, and placing the leveling plate 320 on the roller 310 helps to reduce the splashing of the filaments when they are pushed and scraped by the leveling plate 320.
[0052] For example, the roller 310 can be formed by bending and welding sheet metal.
[0053] In one feasible embodiment, the uniform plate 320 includes a first plate portion 321 and a second plate portion 322 arranged at an angle. The first plate portion 321 is connected to the roller 310, and the second plate portion 322 is used to push and scrape the strands on the conveyor belt, which facilitates the assembly of the uniform plate 320 onto the roller 310 and is conducive to the uniform distribution of the strands on the conveyor belt.
[0054] For example, the first plate portion 321 can be securely fastened to the roller 310 by a plurality of bolts arranged side by side along the rotation direction of the roller 310, which is stable and reliable.
[0055] For example, the first plate portion 321 and the second plate portion 322 are perpendicular to each other. For example, the uniform plate 320 can be set as an angle iron.
[0056] In one feasible implementation, the material leveling body 300 further includes a rotating shaft 330, and the roller 310 is rotatably connected to the first movable seat 200 through the rotating shaft 330, so as to facilitate the rotation of the roller 310 relative to the frame 110.
[0057] For example, a connecting plate 331 is fixed on the rotating shaft 330, and the connecting plate 331 and the roller 310 can be fastened together by bolts.
[0058] For example, the rotating shaft 330 can be rotatably connected to the first movable seat 200 via a bearing.
[0059] For example, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 330 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.
[0060] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 100 includes two frame bodies 110, with the conveyor belt located between the two frame bodies 110. Two first movable seats 200 are provided, each corresponding to one of the frame bodies 110. The first movable seats 200 are mounted on their respective frame bodies 110, and the driving component 400 is mounted on one of the two frame bodies 110. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the two frame bodies 110 and the two first movable seats 200 helps improve the stability of the rotation of the material leveling body 300 and facilitates the installation of the material leveling body 300.
[0061] In one feasible implementation, the two frames 110 can be fixed together by a crossbeam (not shown), which helps to improve the structural stability of the support frame 100.
[0062] For example, both ends of the rotating shaft 330 protrude from the roller 310, so that the two ends of the rotating shaft 330 can be connected one-to-one with the two first movable seats 200.
[0063] In some embodiments, the support frame 100 is provided with a first elongated hole 111, for example, the frame body 110 is provided with a first elongated hole 111, and the length direction of the first elongated hole 111 extends in the vertical direction; the material conveying device also includes a first fastener 500, and the first movable seat 200 is threadedly fastened to the support frame 100 through the first fastener 500, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the height position of the first movable seat 200.
[0064] For example, a first movable seat 200 can be threadedly fastened to the support frame 100 by at least two first fasteners 500.
[0065] For example, the first fastener 500 passes through the first movable seat 200 and the first elongated hole 111 and is threadedly connected to the first screw assembly (not shown). The first fastener 500 can be a bolt, and the first screw assembly can be a nut.
[0066] In other embodiments, the first movable seat 200 can be slidably mounted on the support frame 100. For example, the first movable seat 200 can be slidably mounted on the support frame 100 via a slide rail slider mechanism. The material feeding device also includes a telescopic drive member 400 (not shown) mounted on the support frame 100. For example, the telescopic drive member 400 can be an electric push rod. The telescopic drive member 400 is used to drive the first movable seat 200 to slide in the vertical direction, which facilitates adjustment of the height position of the first movable seat 200. Of course, the adjustable height position of the first movable seat 200 relative to the support frame 100 in the vertical direction can also be achieved through other connection methods, which are not limited in this embodiment.
[0067] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the material conveying device also includes a second movable seat 600, which is disposed on the support frame 100. The driving member 400 is disposed on the second movable seat 600, and the height position of the second movable seat 600 relative to the support frame 100 in the vertical direction is adjustable. This is beneficial for the connection between the driving member 400 and the rotating shaft 330, and reduces the probability of the driving member 400 restricting the height adjustment of the first movable seat 200.
[0068] In one feasible implementation, the support frame 100 is provided with a second elongated hole 112, for example, the frame body 110 is provided with a second elongated hole 112, and the length direction of the second elongated hole 112 extends in the vertical direction; the material feeding and conveying device also includes a second fastener 700, and the second movable seat 600 is threadedly fastened to the support frame 100 through the second fastener 700, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the height position of the second movable seat 600.
[0069] For example, the material conveying device includes at least two second fasteners 700.
[0070] For example, the second fastener 700 passes through the second movable seat 600 and the second elongated hole 112 and is threadedly connected to the second screw assembly (not shown). The second fastener 700 can be a bolt, and the second screw assembly can be a nut.
[0071] In one feasible embodiment, the drive component 400 is a motor, and the material leveling and conveying device further includes a reducer 800 connected to the motor, the reducer 800 being mounted on the second movable seat 600. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the motor and the reducer 800 helps to improve the stability of the rotation of the roller 310 and facilitates the adjustment of the rotation speed of the roller 310, thereby improving the applicability of the material leveling and conveying device.
[0072] In one feasible embodiment, the reducer 800 is provided with a first ear 810, and the first ear 810 is provided with a first through hole 811; the second movable seat 600 is provided with a second ear 610, and the second ear 610 is provided with a second through hole 611; the material conveying device further includes a connecting shaft 900, which passes through the first through hole 811 and the second through hole 611 to facilitate the connection between the reducer 800 and the second movable seat 600.
[0073] For example, the connecting shaft 900 is configured as a third fastener, such as a bolt, which passes through the first lug 810 and the second lug 610 and is threadedly connected to the third screw assembly. The three-screw assembly can be a nut.
[0074] For example, the second movable seat 600 has two second ears 610 arranged side by side, and a first ear 810 is sandwiched between the two second ears 610. The diameter of the first through hole 811 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 611. In this embodiment, when the height position of the first movable seat 200 is adjusted to a smaller value, because the diameter of the first through hole 811 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 611, a gap is formed between the connecting shaft 900 and the first through hole 811. This further reduces the probability of the driving member 400 restricting the height position adjustment of the first movable seat 200. The first fastener 500 can be loosened first without loosening the second fastener 700, and the height position of the first movable seat 200 can be adjusted, simplifying the height position adjustment of the first movable seat 200. After the height position of the first movable seat 200 is adjusted, the second fastener 700 can also be loosened and the position of the second movable seat 600 adjusted.
[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
