Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a material unloading structure, specifically a material unloading structure for a corn processing air shower equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of corn material processing, the material treated by the air shower often faces many problems in the falling and conveying stage.
[0003] When materials are discharged from the outlet of the air shower, they tend to aggregate and fall at a relatively fast initial speed. This can lead to uneven distribution of materials when they enter subsequent processing steps, affecting the overall processing effect.
[0004] At the same time, the falling material will generate a large impact force. If it directly acts on the relevant equipment parts, it may not only cause damage to the material itself, but also aggravate equipment wear and shorten the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a discharge structure for a corn processing air shower equipment, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model includes:
[0007] An air shower, with a discharge port at one end;
[0008] A guide plate is rotatably installed below the discharge port of the air shower.
[0009] An elastic element, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the guide plate, and the other end of which is fixed to the air shower;
[0010] The pressure cover is hinged to the upper edge of the air shower outlet via a pivot point;
[0011] The free end of the pressure shield extends downward above the material path of the guide plate, forming a compression buffer for the material.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a counterweight fixed to the top of the pressure cover, the counterweight being located to the right of the rotation point.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a mounting bracket, which is installed on the top of the air shower, and a driving component is horizontally arranged inside the mounting bracket;
[0014] A pressure sensor is installed between the elastic element and the air shower to collect pressure signals;
[0015] The processor, integrated into the air shower, is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the drive unit. It is configured to receive and process the pressure sensor signal. If the pressure signal is greater than a preset threshold, it controls the drive unit to drive the counterweight block so that the pressure cover rotates counterclockwise.
[0016] The movement trajectory of the moving end of the driving component intersects with the movement path of the counterweight.
[0017] Preferably, the elastic element is a compression spring.
[0018] Preferably, the inner surface of the pressure cover is an arc-shaped surface that bulges in the direction of material flow.
[0019] Preferably, the driving component is a hydraulic rod or an electric push rod.
[0020] Beneficial effects: Optimizes material handling: The compression buffer formed by the pressure cover and guide plate, combined with the arc-shaped protrusion on the inner surface of the pressure cover, can effectively disperse the aggregated state of corn materials, while slowing down the initial falling speed, so that the materials can enter the subsequent processing more evenly.
[0021] Significant buffering and protection effect: Under the support of elastic elements, the guide plate uses elastic deformation to buffer the impact force of falling materials, ensuring that the materials flow smoothly along the guide plate and reducing damage to materials or wear and tear on equipment caused by impact.
[0022] Achieve intelligent automatic adjustment: Based on real-time monitoring of material weight by pressure sensors, when the material quantity exceeds or falls below a preset threshold, the processor can automatically control the drive component to adjust the opening size of the pressure cover without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.
[0023] To avoid material accumulation and ensure efficiency: when the amount of material increases, the opening is widened to increase the throughput; when the amount of material decreases, the opening is narrowed to restore the buffer state, forming a dynamic adjustment cycle. This not only prevents accumulation and blockage, but also maintains a good squeezing and buffering effect when the amount of material is small, ensuring stable overall processing efficiency.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.
[0030] Example 1, by Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a discharge structure for a corn processing air shower device, comprising:
[0031] Air shower 1, one end of which is provided with a discharge port;
[0032] Guide plate 2 is rotatably installed below the discharge port of the air shower 1;
[0033] The elastic element 3 is connected to the bottom of the guide plate 2 at one end and fixed to the air shower 1 at the other end.
[0034] The pressure cover 5 is hinged to the upper edge of the discharge port of the air shower 1 via a rotation point;
[0035] The free end of the pressure cover 5 extends downward above the material path of the guide plate 2, forming a pressure buffer for the material.
[0036] Air shower 1: As the basic equipment of the entire unloading structure, it has a discharge port at one end, which is the channel for material output, and all other components are installed and work around it.
[0037] Guide plate 2: Rotatably installed below the discharge port of air shower 1, its main function is to guide the material output from the discharge port of air shower 1 to flow along a set path, providing guidance for the subsequent processing of the material.
[0038] Elastic component 3: It adopts a compression spring, with one end connected to the bottom of the guide plate 2 and the other end fixed to the air shower 1. It can support the guide plate 2, and when the material falls on the guide plate 2, it can buffer the impact force of the material through its own elastic deformation, so that the material flow is more stable.
[0039] Pressure sensor 4: Installed between the elastic element 3 and the air shower 1, it is used to collect the pressure signal received by the elastic element 3. These pressure signals can reflect the weight of the material on the guide plate 2, providing a basis for the automatic adjustment of the equipment.
[0040] Pressure shield 5: Hinged at a pivot point to the upper edge of the outlet of the air shower 1, its free end extends downward to above the material path of the guide plate 2, forming a pressure buffer for the material. The inner surface of pressure shield 5 is an arc-shaped surface that bulges in the direction of material flow. This arc-shaped surface design helps to better guide the material flow and enhance the pressure buffering effect on the material, reducing the impact force of the material discharge.
[0041] Counterweight 6: Fixed to the top of the pressure cover 5 and located to the right of the rotation point. Its main function is to use its own weight, in conjunction with the rotation of the pressure cover 5, to adjust the squeezing force of the pressure cover 5 on the material, so that the pressure cover 5 can better adapt to different amounts of material.
[0042] Mounting bracket 7: Installed on the top of the air shower 1, it provides a mounting position for the drive component 8 and ensures that the drive component 8 can work stably.
[0043] Drive unit 8: Installed within mounting bracket 7 and horizontally positioned. It employs a hydraulic rod or electric actuator, the movement trajectory of which intersects the movement path of counterweight 6. Upon receiving a control signal from the processor, it drives counterweight 6 to move, thereby causing pressure cover 5 to rotate. Pressure cover 5 rotates counterclockwise to widen the opening between pressure cover 5 and guide plate 2, thus improving material throughput.
[0044] Processor: Integrated into the air shower 1, electrically connected to the pressure sensor 4 and the drive unit 8. Its main function is to receive and process the pressure signal from the pressure sensor 4. When the pressure signal exceeds a preset threshold (the pressure value generated by the corn material on the pressure sensor 4 when a single layer is laid flat through the guide plate 2), the processor controls the drive unit 8 to work, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the equipment.
[0045] Working Principle: When this utility model is used, after the corn material is processed by the air shower machine 1, it is output from its outlet and first enters the compression buffer zone formed by the pressure cover 5 and the guide plate 2. The pressure cover 5 is hinged to the upper edge of the outlet through a rotation point, and its free end extends above the material path of the guide plate 2. Combined with the arc-shaped protrusion design on the inner surface of the pressure cover 5, it forms an initial compression guide for the falling material, which can disperse the aggregated state of the material and slow down the initial falling speed of the material.
[0046] The material then falls onto the guide plate 2 below, which remains stable under the support of the elastic element 3 (compression spring), providing continuous guidance for the material. At this time, the gravity of the material causes the guide plate 2 to exert pressure on the elastic element 3, causing the elastic element 3 to undergo elastic deformation, further buffering the impact force of the material and ensuring that the material flows smoothly along the guide plate 2.
[0047] The pressure sensor 4, installed between the elastic element 3 and the air shower 1, collects the pressure signal received by the elastic element 3 in real time. This signal directly reflects the weight of the material on the guide plate 2. When the amount of material increases and the pressure value exceeds the preset threshold (i.e., the pressure value corresponding to a single layer of flat corn material), the pressure sensor 4 transmits the signal to the processor integrated into the air shower 1.
[0048] After receiving the signal, the processor controls the drive unit 8 (hydraulic rod or electric push rod) mounted on the mounting bracket 7 to operate. The moving end of the drive unit 8 pushes the counterweight 6 to move. Since the counterweight 6 is fixed to the top of the pressure cover 5 and located to the right of the rotation point, its displacement causes the pressure cover 5 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotation point, thereby widening the opening between the pressure cover 5 and the guide plate 2. This adjustment action increases the space for material to pass through, improves the material throughput, and avoids material accumulation.
[0049] When the amount of material decreases and the pressure sensor 4 detects that the pressure value is lower than the threshold, the processor controls the drive component 8 to reset. Under its own gravity, the counterweight 6 drives the pressure cover 5 to rotate clockwise, the opening narrows, and the initial squeezing and buffering state is restored, realizing the cyclical working process of automatic adjustment of the equipment according to the amount of material.
[0050] Beneficial effects: Optimize material handling: The compression buffer formed by the pressure cover 5 and the guide plate 2, combined with the arc-shaped protrusion on the inner surface of the pressure cover 5, can effectively disperse the aggregated state of corn materials, while slowing down the initial falling speed, so that the materials can enter the subsequent processing more evenly.
[0051] Significant buffering and protection effect: Under the support of the elastic element 3, the guide plate 2 uses elastic deformation to buffer the impact force of the falling material, ensuring that the material flows smoothly along the guide plate 2 and reducing the damage to the material or the wear of the equipment caused by the impact.
[0052] Intelligent automatic adjustment is achieved: Based on the real-time monitoring of material weight by pressure sensor 4, when the material quantity exceeds or falls below the preset threshold, the processor can automatically control the drive component 8 to drive the pressure cover 5 to adjust the opening size without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.
[0053] To avoid material accumulation and ensure efficiency: when the amount of material increases, the opening is widened to increase the throughput; when the amount of material decreases, the opening is narrowed to restore the buffer state, forming a dynamic adjustment cycle. This not only prevents accumulation and blockage, but also maintains a good squeezing and buffering effect when the amount of material is small, ensuring stable overall processing efficiency.
[0054] The structure is reasonably designed and the operation is stable: all components (pressure cover 5, elastic element 3, pressure sensor 4, drive element 8, etc.) work together. Through the combination of mechanical structure and electronic control, the equipment realizes the function of adaptive adjustment according to the amount of material, and the operation process is stable and reliable.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
