[0024] A material level measuring device for a bulk material unloading hopper includes an unloading hopper 1, a measuring component 2 is provided on the base surface of the unloading hopper 1, and a display 3 is provided on the front side of the unloading hopper 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, the measuring component 2 includes a first fixed base 201, a second fixed base 202 is disposed on the right side of the first fixed base 201, a first support frame 203 is disposed on the outer side of the first fixed base 201, and a second support frame 204 is disposed on the outer side of the second fixed base 202. A connecting block 205 is slidably disposed inside the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204, and a fixing post 206 is disposed on the inner side of the connecting block 205. A pulling rod 207 is disposed between the connecting block 205 and the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204, respectively, and the outer end of the pulling rod 207 passes through the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204, respectively. The frame 204 is equipped with a pull button 208. The connecting block 205 is symmetrically provided with fixing springs 209 on the front and rear sides between the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204. A fixing rod 210 is provided between the first fixing seat 201 and the second fixing seat 202. Fixing holes 211 are symmetrically opened on the left and right sides of the fixing rod 210. Limiting rods 212 are symmetrically slidably provided on the left and right sides of the base surface of the fixing rod 210. A measuring block 213 is provided between the lower ends of the two limiting rods 212. A limiting plate 214 is provided between the upper ends of the two limiting rods 212. A displacement sensor 215 is provided between the limiting plate 214 and the measuring block 213.
[0026] The first fixed seat 201 is located on the left side of the base surface of the unloading hopper 1, and the second fixed seat 202 is located on the right side of the base surface of the unloading hopper 1. Both the first fixed seat 201 and the second fixed seat 202 are U-shaped. Slider blocks are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the connecting block 205. The inner surfaces of the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204 are provided with grooves corresponding to the sliders. The fixing rod 210 is adapted to the fixing hole 211. Both the first support frame 203 and the second support frame 204 are U-shaped. By setting the measuring component 2 on the material level measuring device for the bulk material unloading hopper, displacement is set inside the unloading hopper 1. After material is stored inside the unloading hopper 1, the measuring block 213 is placed on top of the material. When the material is discharged, the measuring block 213 will move downwards. The displacement sensor 215 can detect the height of the material discharge, thereby determining the amount of material inside the unloading hopper 1. This makes it more convenient to use. Pulling the pulling rod 207 outwards, with the cooperation of the connecting block 205, moves the fixing column 206 to the outside of the fixing hole 211. Moving the fixing rod 210 upwards allows the displacement sensor 215 to be disassembled. This makes it easy to disassemble and repair or replace it when it is damaged. The overall device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is more practical.
[0027] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using a bulk material unloading hopper, a measuring component 2 is installed on the material level measuring device of the bulk material unloading hopper, and a displacement sensor 215 is installed inside the unloading hopper 1. After the unloading hopper 1 is filled with material, a measuring block 213 is placed on the upper side of the material. When the material is discharged, the measuring block 213 will move downwards accordingly. The height of the material discharge can be detected by the displacement sensor 215, thereby determining the amount of material inside the unloading hopper 1, which is more convenient to use. Furthermore, by pulling the pull rod 207 outwards through the pull button 208, the pull rod 207 moves the connecting block 205. With the cooperation of the connecting block 205, the fixing column 206 is moved to the outside of the fixing hole 211. Moving the fixing rod 210 upwards can disassemble the displacement sensor 215, thus facilitating its disassembly for repair or replacement when it is damaged.
