Description

[0002] In the processing of plastic granules, a conveying device is generally needed to transport the raw materials to the extruder, and the screw conveyor is a commonly used conveying equipment.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN223015961U discloses a centrally driven adjustable-angle screw conveyor. Through the cooperation of structures such as a fixed base, fixed shaft, connecting block, electric push rod, sliding seat, and controller, the electric push rod on the upper part of the fixed block is activated. The telescopic end of the electric push rod drives the sliding seat upward, simultaneously causing the connecting block to rotate outside the fixed shaft inside the fixed base. The two work together to tilt the screw conveyor body, enabling rapid adjustment of the device's angle and improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patent still has the following problems: the orientation of the discharge pipe on its conveying pipeline is fixed. After adjusting the angle, the discharge pipe cannot be perpendicular to the feed hopper of the extruder, which may cause plastic particles to splash to the outside and cause waste.

Detailed Implementation

[0066] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0067] To further understand the design intent of this application, we will introduce existing conveying devices used in plastic granule processing. Firstly, there are many types of existing conveying devices for plastic granule processing, with screw conveyors being a common one. Existing screw conveyors work by pouring material into the feed inlet, then using screw blades to transport the material to a higher position before it is poured into the extruder's feed inlet. However, since different extruder models have different heights, existing technologies generally control the feeding height by adjusting the angle of the conveying pipe to adapt to different extruders in order to improve the conveyor's versatility. However, since the discharge pipe of the conveying device is generally fixed, adjusting the feeding height of the conveying device will change the orientation of its discharge port. The discharge port cannot be perpendicular to the extruder's feed inlet. This results in some material being lost as it falls along the discharge pipe to the discharge port due to inertia, potentially landing outside the extruder's feed hopper.

[0068] This application provides a conveying device for processing plastic granules, comprising:

[0069] frame;

[0070] A conveying pipe, one end of which is hinged to the frame;

[0071] Mounting plate, the mounting plate being fixedly connected to one end of the conveying pipe;

[0072] Helical blades, which are coaxially rotatably connected inside the conveying pipe;

[0073] An electric motor is mounted on the mounting plate and is used to drive the helical blades to rotate.

[0074] A first driving element is used to drive the conveying pipe to rotate about the hinge axis;

[0075] A feeding hopper is installed at one end of the conveying pipe;

[0076] The discharge pipe has a discharge hopper installed at the end of the conveying pipe away from the feed hopper and has a discharge port.

[0077] An adjustment component is installed on the discharge pipe and is used to adjust the orientation of the discharge pipe to ensure that the discharge port of the discharge pipe is always vertically downward.

Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of structure A in the middle; Figure 3 This is an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of the B-structure; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment component in an embodiment of this application.

[0080] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The discharge pipe 800 of this application includes a first pipe 810, a connecting shaft 820, and a second pipe 830. The first pipe 810 is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 200 and is arranged radially along the conveying pipe 200. The two connecting shafts 820 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the first pipe 810. The bottom end of the first pipe 810 extends into the second pipe 830, and the second pipe 830 is fixedly connected to the two connecting shafts 820.

[0081] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and 4The adjustment component 900 of this application includes a counterweight 910, a locking wheel 920, a first sliding column 930, a locking plate 940, and an adjustment control 950. A counterweight 910 is installed at the bottom of the second pipe 830; a locking wheel 920 is coaxially fixed to the connecting shaft 820, and a uniform locking groove 921 is provided on the circumferential side of the locking wheel 920; a first sliding column 930 is slidably connected to the outside of the first pipe 810, and the sliding direction of the first sliding column 930 is along the radial direction of the connecting shaft 820; a locking plate 940 is fixed to one end of the first sliding column 930 near the locking wheel 920, and the bottom shape of the locking plate 940 matches the shape of the locking groove 921; in addition, the adjusting assembly 900 also includes an adjusting control 950, which is used to control the locking plate 940 and the locking groove 921 to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the bottom of the locking plate 940 is inserted into the locking groove 921, and the rotation of the connecting shaft 820 is locked. In the second state, the locking plate 940 is separated from the locking groove 921, and the connecting shaft 820 rotates normally.

[0082] The following is a further explanation based on a specific application scenario: The operator moves the conveying device to the extruder and adjusts the inclination angle of the conveying pipe 200 using the first drive component 600, so that the height of the discharge pipe 800 is exactly above the feed hopper 700 of the extruder. Before adjustment, the locking plate 940 and locking groove 921 need to be in the first and second states using the adjustment control 950. This way, when the inclination angle of the conveying pipe 200 increases or decreases, the second pipe 830 will always be vertically downward under the action of the counterweight 910. Thus, after the inclination angle of the conveying pipe 200 is adjusted, the second pipe 830 is guaranteed to be in a vertically downward state, thereby ensuring that the discharge port of the discharge pipe 800 is vertically aligned with the feed hopper of the corresponding extruder. This allows the plastic raw material to enter the feed hopper of the extruder vertically, preventing it from falling outside. Here, the discharge port of the discharge pipe 800 is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 800. When the inclination angle of the conveying pipe 200 is adjusted, the locking plate 940 is inserted into the locking groove 921 by adjusting the control 950, thereby locking the second pipe 830 and the first pipe 810 relative to each other, thus making the operation of the device more stable.

[0083] After adjusting the angle of the conveying pipe 200, the staff can pour the raw material into the feeding hopper 700, then start the motor 500 to drive the spiral blade 400 to rotate, and then lift the raw material to the discharge pipe 800 through the spiral blade 400, and guide it into the feed hopper of the extruder from the discharge pipe 800.

[0084] Overall, when adjusting the inclination angle of the conveying pipe, the discharge port of the discharge pipe is always vertically downward by adjusting the components. This ensures that after the conveying pipe is adjusted, the discharge pipe is vertically aligned with the feed hopper of the extruder, thus preventing plastic particles from splashing to the outside.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of this application, the adjustment control 950 includes an adjustment frame 951, a first retaining ring 952, a first compression spring 953, and a pull rope 954. The adjustment frame 951 is fixedly connected to the side of the first pipe 810, while the first sliding post 930 is slidably connected to the adjustment frame 951; the first retaining ring 952 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the first sliding post 930; the first compression spring 953 is looped around the outer periphery of the first sliding post 930, and one end of the first compression spring 953 is fixedly connected to the first retaining ring 952, while the other end of the first compression spring 953 is fixedly connected to the adjustment frame 951; one end of the pull rope 954 is fixedly connected to the first sliding post 930, and the other end of the pull rope 954 is disposed at the mounting plate 300.

[0086] Depending on the specific application scenario, the locking of the second pipe 830 and the first pipe 810 is controlled by the cooperation of the locking groove 921 and the locking plate 940. The adjustment process of the locking groove 921 and the locking plate 940 is as follows: when it is necessary to adjust from the first state to the second state, the pull rope 954 is pulled from the mounting plate 300, which in turn pulls the first sliding column 930, thereby moving the first sliding column 930 and the locking plate 940 away from the first locking groove 921, thus separating the locking plate 940 and the locking groove 921, thereby releasing the locking of the first pipe 810 and the second pipe 830. When the pull rope 954 is pulled, the first compression spring 953 will be further compressed. After the angle of the conveying pipe 200 is adjusted, the pull rope 954 is released. Under the action of the first compression spring 953, the first sliding column 930 and the locking plate 940 will move toward the locking wheel 920 and be locked into the corresponding locking groove 921, thereby locking the first pipe 810 and the second pipe 830.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 4 As another specific implementation of the present application, the adjustment control 950 further includes a first connecting rod 955 and a coiled thread 956. The first connecting rod 955 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 300, the coiled thread 956 is coaxially fixed to the first connecting rod 955, and one end of the pull rope 954 away from the first sliding column 930 is fixed to the coiled thread 956.

[0088] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The adjustment control 950 of this application also includes a second connecting rod 957, a first worm gear 958 and a first worm 959, wherein the second connecting rod 957 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 300, the first worm 959 is coaxially fixed to the second connecting rod 957, and the first worm gear 958 is coaxially fixed to the first connecting rod 955, and the first worm gear 958 and the first worm 959 are meshed together.

[0089] Further explanation based on specific usage scenarios: When it is necessary to adjust the state of the locking plate 940 and the locking groove 921, rotating the second connecting rod 957 causes the first connecting rod 955 to rotate under the meshing of the first worm gear 959 and the first worm wheel 958, which in turn drives the coil wheel 956 to rotate, causing the pull rope 954 to be wound around, thereby pulling the first sliding column 930 and the locking plate 940 away from the locking groove 921. Here, the self-locking function of the first worm wheel 958 and the first worm gear 959 also ensures that after the locking plate 940 and the locking groove 921 are separated, the locking plate 940 will not immediately insert into the locking groove 921 due to the action of the first compression spring 953, ensuring that the adjustment process of the conveying pipe 200 does not require consideration of the locking groove 921 and the locking plate 940.

[0090] Furthermore, the rotation of the second connecting rod 957 can be driven by a motor 500, or a handle can be installed at the end of the second connecting rod 957 for driving. The figure in this application uses manual control of the handle for driving.

[0091] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the pulling process of the pull rope 954 is not interfered with by other structures, multiple fixed pulleys can be set to adjust the specific layout direction of the pull rope 954.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 1 As another specific implementation of the present application, the first driving member 600 is a hydraulic rod, with one end of the first driving member 600 hinged to the frame 100 and the other end hinged to the conveying pipe 200.

[0093] Depending on the specific application scenario, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the conveying pipe 200, the extension and shortening of the first driving component 600 drives the conveying pipe 200 to rotate around the hinge axis between the conveying pipe 200 and the frame 100, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tilt angle of the conveying pipe 200.
