Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding machine technology, specifically a continuous vacuum feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum feeder is a device that uses the principle of vacuum to achieve automated material conveying. During operation, a vacuum pump creates a negative pressure environment inside the feeding cylinder. Under the action of negative pressure, the material is sucked into the feeding cylinder from the storage container through the conveying pipe. Vacuum feeders are suitable for conveying materials such as powders and granules, and have the advantages of high conveying efficiency, no dust leakage, and high degree of automation.

[0003] Existing vacuum feeders typically use vacuum pumps to feed materials. However, over time, materials can adhere to the feeder and the inner walls of the conveying pipes, causing the pipe diameter to gradually decrease and increasing resistance to material flow. This reduces conveying speed and efficiency. The adhered material may form lumps or clusters, further clogging the pipes and preventing the feeder from functioning properly. This necessitates frequent shutdowns for cleaning, affecting production continuity. Furthermore, since the height of the storage container is fixed, a decrease in the material height within the container alters the distance between the material and the feeder. As the distance increases, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum pump gradually weakens during long-distance transmission, slowing down material intake and reducing feeding efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new continuous vacuum feeder to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

The air inlet of the vacuum pump 4 passes through the inner wall of the cylinder cover 3 through a pipe and is equipped with an air inlet hood 5.

[0024] The vacuum pump 4 generates a vacuum in the feeding cylinder 2 through the pipe and the air inlet hood 5, and uses the negative pressure principle to draw the material into the feeding cylinder 2, which is the power source for material conveying.

[0025] The mounting frame 6 is fixed to the bottom of the cylinder cover 3, and a filter plate 7 for filtering materials is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting frame 6.

[0026] The material is filtered by the filter plate 7 to prevent material particles from entering the vacuum pump 4, protect the vacuum pump 4 from damage, and ensure the purity of the conveyed material.

A first scraper 10 for cleaning the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2 is installed on the outside of the mixing component 9. A connecting plate 11 for unblocking the filter plate 7 is located on the outside of the driving component 8.

[0028] The material inside the feeding cylinder 2 is mixed by the driving component 8 and the mixing component 9 to prevent the material from clumping or bridging. The inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2 can be cleaned by the first scraper 10. The bottom of the connecting plate 11 is provided with bristles slightly smaller than the aperture of the filter plate 7. The bristles can be used to clear the filter holes of the filter plate 7 by rotating the connecting plate 11.

[0029] The storage cylinder 12 is located at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2. A support rod 13 is fixed at the bottom of the storage cylinder 12. A support sleeve 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the support rod 13. A toothed plate 15 is fixed to the outside of the support rod 13. A drive gear 16 is meshed with the outside of the toothed plate 15.

[0030] The support sleeve 14 is fixed to the top of the chassis 1. The material is stored in the storage cylinder 12. The drive gear 16 rotates and drives the toothed plate 15 to move up and down, so that the support rod 13 slides on the inner wall of the support sleeve 14, thereby driving the storage cylinder 12 to rise and fall, avoiding the problem of vacuum feeding failure due to the reduction of material inside the storage cylinder 12.

[0031] The driving component 8 includes a first motor 81 fixed to the top of the cylinder cover 3. The output end of the first motor 81 passes through the inner wall of the cylinder cover 3 and is fixed with a rotating rod 82. The outer side of the rotating rod 82 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting plate 11. The mixing component 9 includes a first stirring paddle 91 fixed to the outer side of the rotating rod 82. A connecting frame 92 is fixed to the outer side of the rotating rod 82. A second stirring paddle 93 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting frame 92. One side of the first scraper 10 is fixed to the outer side of the connecting frame 92.

[0032] The first motor 81 drives the rotating rod 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the first stirring paddle 91 and the connecting frame 92 to rotate. The connecting frame 92 then drives the second stirring paddle 93 to rotate, thus stirring the material in the feed cylinder 2 and preventing the material from clumping or bridging.

[0033] An mounting plate 17 is fixed to the outside of the cylinder cover 3, and an mounting bracket 18 is fixed to the outside of the feeding cylinder 2. The mounting plate 17 and the mounting bracket 18 are fixed by bolts. A sealing gasket 19 to improve the sealing performance of the cylinder cover 3 is installed on the top of the feeding cylinder 2.

[0034] The mounting plate 17 and mounting bracket 18 are fixed with bolts to install and fix the cylinder cover 3, and the sealing gasket 19 improves the sealing performance between the cylinder cover 3 and the feeding cylinder 2.

[0035] The bottom of the feeding cylinder 2 is connected to the feeding pipe 20, and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2 is connected to the discharge pipe 21. A second scraper 22 for cleaning the bottom of the filter plate 7 is fixed on the outside of the rotating rod 82, and a connecting rod 23 for unblocking the feeding pipe 20 is fixed on the bottom of the rotating rod 82.

[0036] Material inside the storage cylinder 12 can be fed into the feeding cylinder 2 via the feeding pipe 20 through the vacuum pump 4. Material can be transported to subsequent equipment via the discharge pipe 21. Rotation of the rotating rod 82 can drive the connecting plate 11, the second scraper 22 and the connecting rod 23 to rotate. Rotation of the connecting plate 11 can make the bristles clear the filter holes of the filter plate 7. The second scraper 22 can clean the adhesive on the bottom of the filter plate 7. The connecting rod 23 can clear the feeding pipe 20 to prevent blockage.

[0037] A fixing frame 24 is fixed to the outside of the support sleeve 14, and a second motor 25 is fixed to the outside of the fixing frame 24. The output end of the second motor 25 is fixed to the shaft of the drive gear 16.

[0038] The second motor 25 can drive the drive gear 16 to rotate, providing rotational power to the drive gear 16.

[0039] A support base 26 is fixed to the top of the chassis 1. A guide rod 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support base 26. The top of the guide rod 27 is fixed to the bottom of the storage cylinder 12. A feed pipe 28 is connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder 12.

[0040] The lifting and lowering of the storage cylinder 12 causes the guide rod 27 to slide on the inner wall of the support base 26, thereby improving the stability of the storage cylinder 12.

[0041] Working principle: The vacuum pump 4 is started, creating a vacuum environment in the feeding cylinder 2 through the pipe and air inlet hood 5. Due to the negative pressure principle, material is drawn from the storage cylinder 12 into the feeding cylinder 2 through the feeding pipe 20. The material is filtered by the filter plate 7 to prevent material particles from entering the vacuum pump 4, protecting it from damage and ensuring the purity of the conveyed material. The first motor 81 drives the rotating rod 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the first stirring paddle 91 and the connecting frame 92 to rotate. The connecting frame 92 drives the second stirring paddle 93 to rotate, stirring the material in the feeding cylinder 2 and preventing clumping or bridging. The rotation of the rotating rod 82 also drives the connecting plate 11 and the second scraper... The plate 22 and connecting rod 23 rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate 11 allows the bristles to clear the filter holes of the filter plate 7. The second scraper 22 can clean the adhesive on the bottom of the filter plate 7. The connecting rod 23 can clear the feed pipe 20 to prevent blockage. The second motor 25 is started to drive the drive gear 16 to rotate. Since the drive gear 16 is meshed with the toothed plate 15, the toothed plate 15 will move up and down, thereby driving the support rod 13 to slide on the inner wall of the support sleeve 14, so that the storage cylinder 12 can be raised and lowered. This can avoid the problem of insufficient vacuum feeding due to the reduction of material inside the storage cylinder 12, and maintain a suitable feeding distance between the material inside the storage cylinder 12 and the feed pipe 20.
