Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to a vertical feeding auger for aquatic feed. Background Technology
[0002] The vertical feeding auger for aquatic feed is a vertical conveying device specifically designed for the aquatic feed production process. It utilizes the rotational motion of the spiral blades to transport feed from a low position to a high position, achieving continuous and stable material conveying.
[0003] In existing technologies, aquatic feed may contain a high proportion of viscous components such as oil and protein, resulting in poor material flowability. During the conveying process, the material is prone to sticking together at the junction of the vertical and horizontal sections, that is, at the location between the auger conveyor and the feed inlet, which can lead to clumping and ultimately cause conveying blockage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical feeding auger for aquatic feed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a vertical feeding auger for aquatic feed, including an installation frame, a connecting frame installed on one side of the installation frame, and an anti-clogging component installed inside the connecting frame. The anti-clogging component includes a vibration component and a quick-connect component. By introducing the anti-clogging component, the problem of easy clogging when traditional auger feeders transport viscous aquatic feed is solved. The vibration component includes a rotary motor installed inside the connecting frame. A fixed stop is connected to the output end of the rotary motor. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the output end of the rotary motor. A contact block is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the rotating rod. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod away from the rotary motor. A moving rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating rod. A sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the moving rod. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the moving rod. Driven by the rotary motor, the mechanical energy is converted and transmitted. The resulting vibration effect effectively prevents material blockage and agglomeration, improving the conveying efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
[0006] Furthermore, a quick-connect assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod. The quick-connect assembly includes a first clamp fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod, a first locking block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first clamp, a second clamp rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first clamp, a second locking block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second clamp, and an impact head fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second clamp. The quick-connect assembly enables the rapid installation and removal of the impact head, improving the maintenance efficiency and convenience of the equipment, reducing downtime, and ensuring the continuity and stability of production. At the same time, the impact head is made of polyurethane elastomer, which has high elasticity, wear resistance, and impact resistance, ensuring efficient transmission of impact energy while absorbing excess vibration and preventing energy backflow or damage to components.
[0007] Furthermore, a feed inlet is installed at the top of the mounting frame, and an auger feeder mounting housing is also installed on one side of the top of the mounting frame. An auger conveyor shaft is installed inside the auger feeder mounting housing. The top and bottom ends of the auger conveyor shaft are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the auger feeder mounting housing. The feed inlet provides a basis for the smooth entry of materials and the stable operation of the equipment, ensuring the stability of the component operation. At the same time, the top and bottom ends of the auger conveyor shaft are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the auger feeder mounting housing, ensuring the stable rotation of the auger conveyor shaft inside the auger feeder mounting housing, improving the conveying efficiency and reliability of the equipment, and also facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the auger conveyor shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the auger feeder housing on the side away from the inlet has an outlet, the interior of which is connected to the auger feeder housing, providing a channel for the smooth output of materials.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the moving rod through a fixing ring, which ensures the stable energy storage and release function of the spring in the vibration assembly and improves the vibration effect of the equipment.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame, and the length of the abutment block is adapted to the fixed stop block. When the fixed stop block rotates, it will abut against one side of the outer wall of the abutment block. The fixed connection between the outer wall of the rotary motor and the inner wall of the connecting frame ensures the stable operation and vibration effect of the vibration component, and also reduces the failure rate caused by loose or worn parts.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixing ring is fitted on the outer wall of the moving rod on the side away from the connecting rod, and the inner wall of the fixing ring is connected to the outer wall of the moving rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The vibration component utilizes a central motor and connecting rod to convert the motor's rotational motion into the linear motion of the sleeve. This, combined with a spring, vibrates and impacts the outer casing on one side of the auger conveyor. By converting the motor's rotational power into a direct impact on the auger conveyor's casing, the vibration component can instantly break up blockages and agglomerations in the material during the conveying process, quickly restoring the material to its normal flow state. Furthermore, the continuous vibration generated by the vibration component during operation not only promptly clears existing blockages but also effectively prevents the formation of new blockages, ensuring the stable operation of the auger feeder and improving material conveying efficiency.
[0014] 2. The quick-connect assembly, combined with the elastic material of the impact head, reduces the risk of equipment resonance. Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly reduces the time required for disassembling and installing the impact head during maintenance. Maintenance personnel can quickly replace or repair the impact head simply by rotating it, shortening maintenance time and improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, the combined design of the quick-connect assembly and the elastic material impact head reduces the transmission of vibration inside the equipment. The elastic material impact head can absorb some of the vibration energy, reducing the impact of vibration on other parts of the equipment, thereby reducing the overall resonance risk of the equipment.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical feeding auger for aquatic feed, including a mounting frame 1, a connecting frame 2 installed on one side of the mounting frame 1, and an anti-blocking component installed inside the connecting frame 2. The anti-blocking component includes a vibration component and a quick-connect component. The vibration component includes a rotary motor 3 installed inside the connecting frame 2, and a fixed stop block 4 connected to the output end of the rotary motor 3. The outer wall of the rotary motor 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 2. When the rotary motor 3 starts, it synchronously drives the fixed stop block 4 to rotate. The fixed connection with the connecting frame 2 ensures the stability of subsequent components. The output of the rotary motor 3... A rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the output end. The rotating rod 5 does not rotate with the rotation of the rotary motor 3. A contact block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the rotating rod 5. The length of the contact block 6 is adapted to the fixed stop 4. When the fixed stop 4 rotates, it will abut against one side of the outer wall of the contact block 6. When the fixed stop 4 rotates to a certain extent, the contact block 6 will no longer abut against the fixed stop 4, and then the rotating rod 5 will be released. A connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 5 away from the rotary motor 3. A moving rod 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the rotating rod 5. A sleeve 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the moving rod 8, and a spring 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the moving rod 8. The rotating rod 5 swings and pushes the connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 pulls the moving rod 8 to slide along the inner wall of the sleeve 9, causing the spring 10 to contract and store power. When the rotating rod 5 is released, because the rotating rod 5 is connected to the connecting rod 7, and the connecting rod 7 is connected to the moving rod 8, when the moving rod 8 is pulled by the connecting rod 7, the spring 10 will be compressed according to the upward movement of the moving rod 8. At this time, the abutting block 6 on the rotating rod 5 is in contact with the fixed stop 4. At this time, the spring 10 is in the force storage stage. Because the fixed stop 4 has a relatively smooth shape, when the abutting block 6 on the rotating rod 5 rotates to a certain angle, it will slide directly from the outer wall of the fixed stop 4, thus releasing the force instantaneously. The force of spring 10 causes the component to impact the auger feeder mounting housing 17, achieving a vibration effect. Spring 10 is only fitted onto the outer wall of the moving rod 8. The fixed connection is to ensure the stability between the components and the stability of the spring's energy release. If spring 10 loses its elasticity, it can be directly replaced. Fitting it onto the outer wall can achieve the same effect. The diameter of the moving rod 8 is 2cm, the inner diameter of spring 10 is 2.2cm, the outer diameter of the spring body is 4mm, and the spring model is a 60Si2MnA spring steel cylindrical helical compression spring. The standard mainly refers to the GB / T1239 series.
[0026] See Figure 7 , Figure 8The bottom end of the moving rod 8 is fixedly connected to a quick-connect assembly. The moving rod 8 transmits linear reciprocating motion to the quick-connect assembly, driving the subsequent assembly to impact. The quick-connect assembly includes a first clamp 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod 8. A first locking block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first clamp 11. A second clamp 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first clamp 11. A second locking block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second clamp 13. The first clamp 11 engages with the second clamp 13. The second clamp 13 abuts against the first locking block 12 by rotation. The first clamp 11 abuts against the second locking block 14 by rotation, completing the quick splicing and fixing. An impact head 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second clamp 13. The moving rod 8, in conjunction with the impact head 15, transmits vibration energy, breaking up material blockages and agglomerations.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The top of the mounting frame 1 is equipped with a feed inlet 16, and the top side of the mounting frame 1 is also equipped with a screw conveyor mounting housing 17. The feed inlet 16 is located in the center area of the top of the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the screw conveyor mounting housing 17 by welding to form a material channel.
[0028] See Figure 1 The top of the screw conveyor mounting housing 17, away from the inlet 16, has an outlet 18. The interior of the outlet 18 is connected to the screw conveyor mounting housing 17. The rotation of the screw shaft pushes the material to flow along the interior of the screw conveyor mounting housing 17, and the material is discharged from the outlet 18.
[0029] See Figure 3 The outer wall of the rotary motor 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 2. The model of the rotary motor 3 is YVF2-132S-4. The material of the impact head 15 is polyurethane elastomer, which ensures that the impact can be transmitted to the auger feeder mounting housing 17, while absorbing excess vibration and preventing stress damage to the components.
[0030] In summary, the combination of the vibration assembly and the quick-connect assembly effectively prevents blockage between the feed inlet 16 and the auger feeder mounting housing 17. The vibration assembly utilizes the power of the rotary motor 3 to convert the rotational motion into linear reciprocating vibration through mechanical transmission, which directly acts on the auger feeder mounting housing 17, effectively preventing material blockage and agglomeration. The quick-connect assembly makes the replacement and maintenance of the impact head 15 more convenient, improving the efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
[0031] Working principle: The rotary motor 3 drives the fixed stop 4 to periodically collide with the contact block 6, which drives the rotating rod 5 to swing. The swing of the rotating rod 5 pulls the moving rod 8 along the sleeve 9 through the connecting rod 7. After the fixed stop 4 disengages from the contact block 6, the spring 10 releases energy, which is then transferred to the impact head 15 by the quick-connect assembly, so as to realize the reciprocating vibration of one side of the auger feeder mounting shell 17 to prevent material blockage.
[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
