Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying technology, and in particular to a receiving trough and a conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] A submerged scraper conveyor is a material conveying device that continuously transports bulk materials within a closed casing using a scraper chain. Due to its simple structure, small size, good sealing performance, and convenient installation and maintenance, it is widely used in industries and sectors such as metallurgy, building materials, power, chemicals, cement, ports, and feed. A submerged scraper conveyor mainly consists of a closed-section casing, scraper chain, drive unit, receiving trough, and tensioning device. During use, the baffle plate on the receiving trough is aligned with the receiving point, allowing the material to enter the trough for conveying.

[0003] The baffle plates on the existing receiving troughs are fixed to the opening of the trough with bolts, so they cannot be adjusted. However, when the scraper conveyor is in use, the receiving point position is constantly changing due to the constant changes in the site, which greatly limits the application scenarios.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to solve the problem of limited application scenarios caused by the locking of the baffle plate.

[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] This utility model claims to protect a receiving groove, including a bottom groove, a first receiving plate, a second receiving plate, a first adjusting component, and a second adjusting component; the bottom groove opening is connected to the first receiving plate, and the first adjusting component is configured to drive the first receiving plate to rotate around the connection point; the second receiving plate is sleeved on the first receiving plate, and the second adjusting component is configured to drive the second receiving plate to move along the width direction of the first receiving plate, and the surfaces of the first receiving plate and the second receiving plate always partially overlap.

[0008] The first and second adjustment components work together to adjust the position of the top of the first receiving plate to align with the receiving point, allowing the material to enter the bottom trough from the first receiving plate, thus improving the applicability of the receiving trough.

[0009] Preferably, a hinge seat is provided at the opening of the bottom groove, and the mounting hole of the hinge seat is connected to the bottom side of the first receiving plate through a pin, wherein the pin constitutes the transition point.

[0010] Drive the first jack, causing the end driven by the first jack to extend or shorten, thereby causing the first receiving plate to rotate around the pin shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the first adjustment component is a first jack, which is provided on the outer wall of the bottom groove. The driving end of the first jack extends in a direction away from the bottom groove and is coupled to the surface of the first receiving plate.

[0012] The jack operates stably and is suitable for the adjustment strength of this application. When in use, the first jack, the bottom trough, and the first receiving plate form a triangular structure that is very stable.

[0013] Preferably, a transition surface is provided on the surface of the first receiving plate away from the first jack, the transition surface extends into the bottom groove, and the position of the transition surface and the hinge seat are offset from each other.

[0014] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is provided on the surface of the first receiving plate near the first jack, and the reinforcing rod is parallel to the wide side of the first receiving plate.

[0015] The reinforcing rod is mainly to ensure the overall strength of the first receiving plate and prevent deformation and damage caused by material flow.

[0016] Preferably, the second receiving plate has an inverted L-shaped cross-section, and the surface of the first receiving plate is attached to the second receiving plate; the horizontal plate of the second receiving plate abuts against the top of the first receiving plate.

[0017] Preferably, the second receiving plate has flanges on both sides, which abut against the sides of the first receiving plate.

[0018] The second receiving part covers the surface of the first receiving plate. Since the second receiving plate has an inverted L-shaped cross-section and flanges on both sides, the flanges and the second receiving plate together form a semi-enclosed space, in which the first receiving plate is placed.

[0019] Preferably, the second adjustment component is a second jack, which is disposed near the first receiving plate of the first jack. The driving end of the second jack extends along the width direction of the first receiving plate and is connected to the horizontal plate of the second receiving plate.

[0020] The number of second jacks is not limited to one. When there is one, it is preferable to set it in the middle of the first receiving plate to ensure balanced force distribution.

[0021] Preferably, the bottom groove is constructed of a U-shaped plate, and the opening of the U-shaped plate forms the groove opening of the bottom groove.

[0022] This utility model claims protection for a conveyor, including a receiving trough, a scraper chain, and a drive device. The drive device is installed inside the receiving trough and drives the scraper chain to convey materials.

[0023] By cooperating with the first jack, the position of the top of the first receiving plate is adjusted to align with the receiving point. The material enters the bottom trough from the first receiving plate, and then the scraper chain is driven by the drive device to convey it. The whole device is highly adaptable and easy to adjust.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment requires protection of the receiving trough, including a bottom trough 10, a first receiving plate 11, a second receiving plate 12, a first adjusting component 13, and a second adjusting component 14.

[0033] The bottom groove 10 is a U-shaped plate structure, and the opening of the U-shaped plate forms the groove opening of the bottom groove 10. The groove opening of the bottom groove 10 is connected to the first receiving plate 11. Specifically, a hinge seat 150 is provided at the groove opening of the bottom groove 10. Preferably, there are five hinge seats 150, which are arranged along the length of the bottom groove 10. The mounting holes of the hinge seats 150 are connected to the bottom side of the first receiving plate 11 through pins 151.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that in actual use, only the receiving plate on one side of the bottom trough 10 opening needs to be adjustable to adapt to changes in the receiving point. However, considering the limitations of the work site and the cost of moving, it is also possible to set adjustable receiving plates on both sides of the bottom trough 10 opening.

[0035] The number of hinge seats 150 includes but is not limited to five. The more the number of hinge seats 150, the higher the connection stability between the bottom groove 10 and the material receiving plate.

[0036] The first adjusting component 13 is a first jack. Two first jacks are provided on the outer side wall of the bottom groove 10. The driving ends of the two first jacks extend in a direction away from the bottom groove 10 and are coupled with the plate surface of the first material receiving plate 11. "Coupled" means a non-rigid connection, such as a hinge connection, to avoid a conflict in the running paths between the first material receiving plate 11 and the first jack during the flipping process.

[0037] The number of the first jacks is not limited to two, but it is necessary to ensure that the first jacks operate synchronously during the operation to avoid the first material receiving plate 11 from tipping over.

[0038] The driving end of the first jack extending in a direction away from the bottom groove 10 means that the first jack is placed obliquely, and the driving end of the first jack is inclined in a direction away from the bottom groove 10. In this way, the first jack, the bottom groove 10, and the first material receiving plate 11 enclose a triangular structure with each other.

[0039] During actual use, drive the first jack to make the driving end of the first jack extend or shorten, and带动 the first material receiving plate 11 to flip around the pin shaft 151.

[0040] A second material receiving plate 12 is sleeved on the first material receiving plate 11. Specifically, the second material receiving plate 12 has an inverted L-shaped cross-sectional configuration, and flanges 121 are provided on both sides of the second material receiving plate 12. The surface of the first material receiving plate 11 is in contact with the second material receiving plate 12; the horizontal plate of the second material receiving plate 12 is in abutting cooperation with the top of the first material receiving plate 11, and the flanges 121 are respectively in abutting cooperation with both sides of the first material receiving plate.

[0041] To ensure the overall strength of the first material receiving plate 11, it is preferably to provide six reinforcing bars 120 on the plate surface of the first material receiving plate 11 close to the first jack, arranged along the length direction of the first material receiving plate 11, and the reinforcing bars 120 are parallel to the wide side of the first material receiving plate 11. During actual use, the number of the reinforcing bars 120 is not limited to six, nor is it limited to a rod shape, and it can also be set as a reinforcing rib structure, which can all meet the requirements of this application.

[0042] "Sleeved" means that the second material receiving part covers the surface of the first material receiving plate 11. Since the second material receiving plate 12 has an inverted L-shaped cross-sectional configuration and flanges 121 are provided on both sides, the flanges 121 and the second material receiving plate 12 jointly enclose a semi-closed space, and the first material receiving plate 11 is arranged in the space.

[0043] The second adjustment component 14 is configured to drive the second receiving plate 12 to move along the width direction of the first receiving plate 11. Specifically, the second adjustment component 14 is a second jack. A second jack is provided on the surface of the first receiving plate 11 near the first jack. The driving end of the second jack extends along the width direction of the first receiving plate 11 and is connected to the horizontal plate of the second receiving plate 12.

[0044] The number of second jacks is not limited to one. When there is one, it is preferred to set it in the middle of the first receiving plate 11 to ensure balanced force distribution.

[0045] In order to ensure that the conveyed material does not get stuck at the junction of the first receiving plate 11 and the second receiving plate 12, it is necessary to ensure that the first receiving plate 11 and the second receiving plate 12 always have a partial overlap to avoid material being left in the gap.

[0046] Similarly, the same applies between the first receiving plate 11 and the bottom groove 10. A transition surface is provided on the surface of the first receiving plate 11, which is far away from the first jack. The transition surface extends into the bottom groove 10, but it must be ensured that the transition surface and the hinge seat 150 are staggered.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] This embodiment requires protection of the conveyor, including a receiving trough, a scraper chain, and a drive unit. The drive unit is installed inside the receiving trough and drives the scraper chain for conveying. In use, the position of the top of the second receiving plate 12 is adjusted by the first adjusting component 13 and the second adjusting component 14 to accommodate different receiving points.

[0049] The process by which this conveyor connects different material receiving points is as follows:

[0050] First, the first jack is driven, causing its driving end to move the first receiving plate 11. Since the first receiving plate 11 is connected by a pin 151, it rotates around the pin 151. Second, the second jack is driven, causing its driving end to move the second receiving plate 12 along the width of the first receiving plate 11. Through the cooperation of the second and first jacks, the position of the top of the first receiving plate 11 is adjusted to align with the receiving point. The material enters the bottom trough 10 from the first receiving plate 11 and is then conveyed by the scraper chain driven by the driving device.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
