[0026] Figures 1-7 This is the best embodiment of the biomass pellet mill, as described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-7 The present invention will be further described below.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The biomass pellet mill includes a main motor 1, a gearbox 2, a pelleting chamber 3, a cutting motor 5, and a cutter 9. The main motor 1 and the pelleting chamber 3 are fixed on the upper side of the gearbox 2. The main motor 1 is connected to the pelleting mechanism 4 inside the pelleting chamber 3 through the gearbox 2. The cutting motor 5 is fixed to one side of the pelleting chamber 3 through a motor mounting seat 6. The upper part of the pelleting chamber 3 is provided with a bearing gear. The cutting motor 5 is connected to a cutting gear 14, which meshes with the bearing gear. The cutter 9 is set on the bearing gear. The bearing gear drives the cutter 9 to rotate, thereby cutting the biomass pellets extruded by the pelleting mechanism 4. Finally, the pellets are discharged from the discharge port 15.
[0028] The upper part of the granulation chamber 3 is provided with an annular fixed seat 12, and the granulation mechanism 4 is located inside the fixed seat 12. A dust cover 7 is provided on the upper side of the fixed seat 12, and a feeding chamber 8 is provided in the middle of the dust cover 7. The lower part of the feeding chamber 8 is connected to the granulation mechanism 4. The cutting motor 5 is fixed to the lower side of the fixed seat 12 through the motor mounting seat 6.
[0029] See Figure 4-6 The biomass pellet machine in this embodiment also includes a top plate 16. The lower end of the cutter 9 is rotatably arranged relative to the outer gear ring 10. The top plate 16 is arranged on the other side of the direction of rotation of the cutter 9 with the outer gear ring 10. The top plate 16 and the cutter 9 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The top plate 16 is also rotatably arranged relative to the outer gear ring 10. A return spring 17 is also provided between the top plate 16 and the outer gear ring 10.
[0030] The cutter 9 is provided with an actuating protrusion 18, which contacts the top plate 16 and is located on the side of the top plate 16 near the pelletizing mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the actuating protrusion 18 is arc-shaped. When the cutter 9 cannot cut the biomass pellets in time, the cutter 9 will deform slightly. At this time, the actuating part will press the top plate 16, causing the top plate 16 to deflect. The cutter 9 will then rotate, thereby preventing damage to the cutter 9.
[0031] The blade of the cutter 9 has a thickened portion 19 at one end, located on the opposite side of the direction of rotation of the cutter 9 with the external gear ring 10. This further enhances the strength of the cutter 9. The return spring 17 is a return torsion spring, with its two ends connected to the external gear ring 10 and the top plate 16, respectively. A detection switch 23 is provided on one side of the top plate 16. When the detection switch 23 detects the top plate 16, the equipment stops operating and requires inspection to prevent further damage.
[0032] The bearing gear includes an inner ring 11 and an outer gear ring 10. The inner ring 11 is rotatably disposed inside the outer gear ring 10, and ball bearings are provided between the inner ring 11 and the outer gear ring 10. The inner ring 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 12. The cutting motor 5 is connected to a cutting gear 14, which meshes with the outer gear ring 10. A cutter 9 is disposed on the outer gear ring 10. In this embodiment, a fixed plate 13 is provided on the upper side of the outer gear ring 10, and both the cutter 9 and the top plate 16 are rotatably disposed on the fixed plate 13.
[0033] The upper surface of the fixing base 12 has a groove 20 at its edge, forming a step. A connecting plate 21 is located on the inner side of the inner ring 11, and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove 20. This allows the cutter 9 to be positioned as close as possible to the upper surface of the fixing base 12, ensuring that the cut pellets are conveyed to the discharge port 15. A baffle plate 22 is also provided at the discharge port 15. The baffle plate 22 is inclined in the opposite direction to the cutter 9. After the cutter 9 cuts the biomass extruded from the pelletizing mechanism 4 into pellets, it pushes them to the discharge port 15, where they are blocked by the baffle plate 22 and discharged through the discharge port 15.
[0034] See Figure 7 The biomass pellet mill has a rotatable cutter 9, with a top plate 16 installed behind it. The top plate 16 is used to fix the cutter 9 and increase its strength. When the cutter 9 encounters a hard pellet that cannot be cut in time, the actuator will push the top plate 16 to tilt after the cutter 9 deforms. The top plate 16 no longer provides support for the cutter 9, and the cutter 9 rotates with the top plate 16 under the pressure of the pellet, thus avoiding the pellet. During this process, the detection switch 23 detects the top plate 16, and then the equipment stops running to prevent the cutter 9 from being damaged further and to extend its service life.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
