Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a material control mechanism for a feed pipe. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, material drop pipes are commonly used equipment in the material transfer process and are widely used in many industries such as mining, chemical, and grain processing. Their function is to transport materials from a height to a designated location. However, existing material drop pipes have many problems in actual use.
[0003] Existing feed pipes lack flexibility and precision in controlling the discharge rate. Traditional feed pipes often lack dedicated discharge rate control devices, or their control devices are complex and inconvenient to operate, making it difficult to adjust the discharge rate promptly and accurately according to actual production needs. This can lead to excessive or insufficient material supply, affecting the normal operation of subsequent processes, reducing product quality and production efficiency. For example, in some chemical production processes, it is necessary to strictly control the amount of materials input to ensure the stability of chemical reactions and the consistency of product quality. Therefore, this paper proposes a material control mechanism for feed pipes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a material control mechanism for a feed pipe, which has the advantages of convenient material control and strong practicality, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a material control mechanism for a discharge pipe, comprising a discharge pipe, a control mechanism at the bottom of the discharge pipe, and a blockage clearing mechanism provided inside and on the outer surface of the discharge pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes an electric push rod fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge tube, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod, a hinge rod hinged inside the connecting plate, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge tube, a rotating shaft fixedly connected inside the fixed plate, a control plate movably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the control plate hinged to the hinge rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the top diameter of the discharge tube is larger than the bottom diameter, and the control board is located at the bottom of the discharge tube.
[0008] Furthermore, the control plate is used to control the amount of material discharged from the bottom of the discharge pipe when it rotates.
[0009] Furthermore, the unblocking mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe, and an unblocking blade is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the motor output shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning leaf has holes inside.
[0011] Furthermore, a flow divider plate is fixedly connected inside the material discharge pipe, and the cross-sectional shape of the flow divider plate is triangular.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The material control mechanism for the discharge pipe drives the connecting plate through an electric push rod, which in turn drives the hinge rod and control plate to rotate. Because the control plate is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe, its rotation angle can precisely control the size of the opening at the bottom of the discharge pipe, thereby achieving flexible and precise control of the discharge amount. Operators can quickly and accurately adjust the discharge amount by adjusting the extension and retraction of the electric push rod according to actual production needs, so as to meet the requirements of different production processes and improve the stability of production and product quality.
[0014] 2. The material control mechanism for the discharge pipe and the anti-blocking mechanism can effectively solve the problem of material discharge and blockage. The motor drives the anti-blocking blade to rotate. During the rotation, the anti-blocking blade can stir and loosen the material in the discharge pipe, break the adhesion and accumulation between materials, and prevent the material from forming a blockage in the discharge pipe. In addition, the holes opened inside the anti-blocking blade can reduce the weight of the anti-blocking blade, reduce the load on the motor, and increase the contact area between the anti-blocking blade and the material, thereby improving the anti-blocking effect.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3The material control mechanism for a discharge pipe in this embodiment includes a discharge pipe 1, a control mechanism 2 at the bottom of the discharge pipe 1, and a blockage clearing mechanism 3 on the inside and outside surface of the discharge pipe 1.
[0021] The control mechanism 2 includes an electric push rod 201 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 1. A connecting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 201. A hinge rod 203 is hinged inside the connecting plate 202. A fixing plate 204 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 1. A rotating shaft 205 is fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 204. A control plate 206 is movably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 205. The control plate 206 is hinged to the hinge rod 203. When the control plate 206 rotates, it is used to control the discharge amount at the bottom of the discharge pipe 1.
[0022] Secondly, the top diameter of the discharge pipe 1 is larger than its bottom diameter, and the control plate 206 is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 1. This design, with the top diameter larger than the bottom diameter, conforms to the natural falling law of materials, allowing for smoother material flow within the discharge pipe, reducing the residence time of materials, and lowering the risk of blockage. A flow divider 4 is fixedly connected inside the discharge pipe 1, and the flow divider 4 has a triangular cross-sectional shape. Simultaneously, the triangular cross-sectional shape of the flow divider 4 fixedly connected inside the discharge pipe 1 can divert the material, ensuring even distribution within the discharge pipe 1, further improving the material flow and increasing discharge efficiency.
[0023] Additionally, the unblocking mechanism 3 includes a motor 301 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 1. An unblocking blade 302 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the output shaft of the motor 301. The unblocking blade 302 is in a vertical state when not in operation, so as to avoid causing blockage in the discharge pipe 1 as much as possible. Holes are provided inside the unblocking blade 302.
[0024] This technical solution effectively controls the output and prevents material blockage. The material control mechanism ensures the continuity and stability of material transmission, avoids production interruptions and equipment failures caused by unstable output or blockage, thereby improving overall production efficiency, reducing production costs, and bringing better economic benefits to enterprises.
[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0026] (1) The material control mechanism for the discharge pipe drives the connecting plate 202 through the electric push rod 201, which in turn drives the hinge rod 203 and the control plate 206 to rotate. Since the control plate 206 is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 1, its rotation angle can accurately control the size of the opening at the bottom of the discharge pipe 1, thereby realizing flexible and precise control of the discharge amount. The operator can adjust the discharge amount quickly and accurately according to the actual production needs by adjusting the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 201 to meet the requirements of different production processes and improve the stability of production and product quality.
[0027] (2) The material control mechanism for the discharge pipe, the setting of the unblocking mechanism 3 can effectively solve the problem of material blockage in the discharge pipe 1. The motor 301 drives the unblocking blade 302 to rotate. During the rotation, the unblocking blade 302 can stir and loosen the material in the discharge pipe 1, break the adhesion and accumulation between the materials, and prevent the material from forming a blockage in the discharge pipe 1. In addition, the holes opened inside the unblocking blade 302 can reduce the weight of the unblocking blade 302, reduce the load of the motor, and increase the contact area between the unblocking blade and the material to improve the unblocking effect.
