Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of corn kernel feeding technology, and more specifically, to a corn kernel feeding and lifting device. Background Technology

[0002] Corn kernels are the seeds of corn, mostly yellow or white, rich in nutrients such as starch. They can be eaten directly, processed into snacks, and are also an important source of feed and industrial raw materials, with wide applications worldwide.

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, a corn kernel feeding and lifting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lifting channel 1, and further includes: a hopper 2, a powerful blower 3, an auxiliary mechanism, and guide plates 4. The hopper 2 is connected to the bottom of the lifting channel 1. The powerful blower 3 is located at one end of the lifting channel 1, and its output end is connected to the bottom end of the lifting channel 1. Two auxiliary mechanisms are provided, each located on one side of the lifting channel 1, for blowing the corn kernels in the lifting channel 1 upward. Two guide plates 4 are provided, and the two guide plates 4 are located in the lifting channel 1 through a swing mechanism. The two guide plates 4 correspond to the two auxiliary mechanisms respectively. The swing mechanism is used to drive the two guide plates 4 to swing. Through the setting of the auxiliary mechanism and the swing mechanism, the lifting force of the corn kernels blown by the powerful blower 3 can be further increased, and the wind direction can be adjusted, thereby improving the lifting efficiency of the corn kernels, reducing the residue of corn kernels in the lifting channel 1, and reducing the waste of corn kernels.

[0029] The auxiliary mechanism includes: an auxiliary bucket 5 and an auxiliary fan 6. There are two auxiliary buckets 5, and both auxiliary buckets 5 are connected to one side of the lifting channel 1. An auxiliary fan 6 is installed in each of the two auxiliary buckets 5. Both auxiliary fans 6 face into the lifting channel 1. By blowing air upwards through the auxiliary fans 6 installed in the auxiliary buckets 5, the lifting force on the corn kernels will be increased.

[0030] The swing mechanism includes: rotating rods 7, rotating gears 8, toothed plates 9, and a drive assembly. Two rotating rods 7 are provided, each rotatably connected to one of two auxiliary barrels 5. Two guide plates 4 are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods 7. A rotating gear 8 is fixedly connected to one end of each rotating rod 7. Two toothed plates 9 are provided, each slidably mounted on one side of the lifting channel 1 via a sliding assembly. Each toothed plate 9 meshes with one of the two rotating gears 8. The drive assembly is located in the lifting channel 1 and is used to drive the two toothed plates 9 to move. The assembly includes: a connecting rod 10, a crossbar 11, a transmission plate 12, arc-shaped teeth 13, and a power component. Both ends of the connecting rod 10 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two toothed plates 9. The crossbar 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10. The transmission plate 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the crossbar 11. Multiple arc-shaped teeth 13 are evenly fixedly connected to one side of the transmission plate 12. The power component is located on one side of the lifting channel 1 and is used to drive the transmission plate 12 to move up and down. The power component includes: a rotating plate 14, spiral teeth 15, and a transmission mechanism. The gear 16 and transmission assembly are provided. A rotating plate 14 is mounted on one side of the lifting channel 1 via a support assembly. A helical gear 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 14 and meshes with multiple arc-shaped teeth 13. A transmission gear 16 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rotating plate 14. The transmission assembly is located on one side of the lifting channel 1 and is used to drive the transmission gear 16 and the rotating plate 14 to rotate. The transmission assembly includes a drive gear 17 and a first motor 18. The drive gear 17 meshes with the transmission gear 16, and the first motor 18 is mounted on one side of the lifting channel 1. The output end of the first motor 18 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 17. The sliding assembly includes: a guide rail 19 and a slide groove 20. There are two guide rails 19, and both guide rails 19 are fixedly connected to one side of the lifting channel 1. The two toothed plates 9 are each provided with a slide groove 20. The two guide rails 19 are slidably connected in the two slide grooves 20 respectively. The support assembly includes: a fixed frame 21 and a fixed ring 22. The fixed frame 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting channel 1, and the fixed ring 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed frame 21. The rotating plate 14 is rotatably connected in the fixed ring 22.

[0031] The first motor 18 drives the drive gear 17 and the transmission gear 16 to rotate. When the transmission gear 16 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 14 to rotate within the fixed ring 22. When the rotating plate 14 rotates, it drives the spiral teeth 15 to mesh with the arc teeth 13 and rotate, thereby driving the transmission plate 12 and the crossbar 11 to move. When the crossbar 11 moves, it drives the connecting rod 10 and the two toothed plates 9 to move. When the two toothed plates 9 move, they drive the two rotating gears 8 to rotate. When the two rotating gears 8 rotate, they drive the two rotating rods 7 and the two guide plates 4 to swing, thereby adjusting the lateral movement of the auxiliary fan 6 through the guide plates 4.

[0032] The working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to feed and lift corn kernels, the corn kernels are put into the hopper 2 and fall into the lifting channel 1 through the hopper 2. Then, the powerful blower 3 blows air into the lifting channel 1, thereby blowing the corn kernels falling into the lifting channel 1 towards the top of the lifting channel 1. Then, the auxiliary blower 6 installed in the auxiliary bucket 5 blows air towards the upper part of the lifting channel 1, thereby increasing the lifting force of the corn kernels. The first motor 18 drives the drive gear 17 and the transmission gear 16 to rotate. When the transmission gear 16 rotates, it drives the rotating plate 14 to rotate within the fixed ring 22. When the rotating plate 14 rotates, it drives the spiral teeth 15 to mesh with the arc teeth 13 and rotate, thereby driving the transmission plate 12 and the crossbar 11 to move. When the crossbar 11 moves, it drives the connecting rod 10 and the two toothed plates 9 to move. When the two toothed plates 9 move, they drive the two rotating gears 8 to rotate. When the two rotating gears 8 rotate, they drive the two rotating rods 7 and the two guide plates 4 to swing, thereby adjusting the lateral movement of the auxiliary blower 6 through the guide plates 4.

[0033] It should also be noted that, in order to prevent corn kernels from falling into the auxiliary bucket 5, a filter screen 23 can be installed at the connection between the auxiliary bucket 5 and the lifting channel 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
