Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fused magnesia production technology, specifically a storage hopper for fused magnesia production. Background Technology
[0002] Fused magnesia is an alkaline refractory raw material made by melting natural magnesite, lightly calcined magnesia, or sintered magnesia in an electric arc furnace. Its main component is magnesia (MgO), and its main crystalline phase is periclase. It has high purity, high refractoriness, high chemical stability, and good mechanical strength.
[0003] The fused magnesia storage hopper is mainly used to store large quantities of fused magnesia raw materials. In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209553980U discloses a storage hopper for fused magnesia production. The anti-blocking structure can effectively prevent material blockage, and the raw material flows quickly and is evenly fed, which can provide an effective supply in the production process, thereby improving production efficiency. The multi-stage variable amplitude vibrator can achieve a stable amplitude and reduce the impact of vibration on production.
[0004] However, the existing anti-clogging structure is set on the hopper to avoid the phenomenon of material blockage at the bottom. However, some fused magnesia will adhere to the inner wall of the storage hopper, which can easily lead to incomplete discharge of fused magnesia. At present, the main method is to manually tap the hopper wall to remove the adhering material, which is relatively troublesome and inefficient.
[0005] To address the problems mentioned above, those skilled in the art have proposed a storage hopper for the production of fused magnesia. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage hopper for the production of fused magnesia, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A storage hopper for fused magnesia production includes a hopper with a conical bottom and several tie rods at the bottom. A hanging bucket is mounted on the bottom of each tie rod. An annular slide rail is mounted on the outer wall of the hopper, and the annular slide rail is slidably connected to an annular gear. Several rotating shafts are mounted on the bottom of the annular gear, arranged in a ring. A rotating disk is mounted on each rotating shaft, and the rotating disk is connected to a striking assembly for striking the inner wall of the hopper. A transmission assembly is provided between the hopper and the rotating shafts to drive the rotating shafts. A drive assembly is mounted on the hopper to drive the annular gear to rotate.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a mounting frame is installed on the outer wall of the bucket, and a vibrator is installed on the mounting frame.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the striking component includes several annularly distributed sliding cavities opened in the rotating disk, a slider is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity, the slider is fixedly connected to a sliding rod, the sliding rod is connected to a rubber striking block, and a spring connected to the slider is provided in the sliding cavity.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the transmission assembly includes a transmission gear installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and an external gear ring that meshes with the transmission gear is installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the drive assembly includes a mounting base installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper, a motor mounted on the mounting base, and a drive gear meshing with a ring gear mounted on the drive end of the motor.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feeding hopper is installed on the top of the storage hopper.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model stores fused magnesia in a storage hopper. When discharging fused magnesia, the valve at the bottom of the storage hopper can be opened, allowing the fused magnesia to be discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the storage hopper into the hanging bucket, and then discharged from the hanging bucket. To avoid the fused magnesia adhering to the inner wall of the storage hopper and causing incomplete discharge, the drive component drives the ring gear to rotate, which in turn drives the striking component on the rotating disk to rotate. Under the action of the transmission component, the rotating disk can be rotated, allowing the striking component to strike the outer wall of the storage hopper in a ring, which facilitates knocking off the fused magnesia adhering to the inner wall of the storage hopper, thereby achieving complete discharge.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 A storage hopper for fused magnesia production includes a storage hopper 1 with a conical bottom and several pull rods 4 at the bottom. A hanging bucket 3 is installed at the bottom of the pull rods 4. An annular slide rail 7 is installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper 1, and an annular gear 8 is slidably connected to the annular slide rail 7. Several rotating shafts 12 are installed at the bottom of the annular gear 8, and the rotating shafts 12 are arranged in a ring. A rotating disk 13 is installed on the rotating shaft 12, and a striking component is connected to the rotating disk 13 for striking the inner wall of the storage hopper 1. A transmission component is provided between the storage hopper 1 and the rotating shafts 12 for driving the rotating shafts 12. A drive component is installed on the storage hopper 1 for driving the annular gear 8 to rotate.
[0021] The fused magnesia is stored in the storage hopper 1. When discharging the fused magnesia, the valve at the bottom of the storage hopper 1 can be opened to allow the fused magnesia to be discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the storage hopper 1 into the hanging hopper 3, and then discharged from the hanging hopper 3. In order to avoid the fused magnesia adhering to the inner wall of the storage hopper 1 and causing incomplete discharge, the drive component drives the ring gear 8 to rotate, so that the transformation gear can drive the striking component on the rotating disk 13 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission component, the rotating disk 13 can be rotated, so that the striking component can strike the outer wall of the storage hopper 1 in a ring, which can knock off the fused magnesia adhering to the inner wall of the storage hopper 1, thereby achieving complete discharge.
[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, a mounting frame 5 is installed on the outer wall of the bucket 3, and a vibrator 6 is installed on the mounting frame 5.
[0023] The vibrator 6 can help the bucket 3 discharge materials quickly, avoid material accumulation, and increase the material flow rate.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the striking assembly includes a plurality of annularly distributed sliding cavities 14 formed in a rotating disk 13. A slider 15 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 14. The slider 15 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 16. The sliding rod 16 is connected to a rubber striking block 17. A spring 18 connected to the slider 15 is disposed in the sliding cavity 14.
[0025] Driven by the drive assembly, the ring gear 8 rotates along the ring slide rail 7. During the rotation of the ring gear 8, it drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the striking assembly on the rotating disk 13 to rotate around the storage hopper 1. During this process, the transmission assembly drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 13 to rotate. This allows the rubber striking block 17 at the end of the slide rod 16 to continuously strike different positions on the outer wall of the storage hopper 1, thereby facilitating the removal of fused magnesia adhering to the inner wall of the storage hopper 1 and achieving complete material discharge. Furthermore, due to the presence of the spring 18 and the slider 15, the slide rod 16 can extend and retract, allowing the rubber striking block 17 to pass over the outer wall of the storage hopper 1 after striking it, facilitating the next rubber striking block 17 to strike the storage hopper 1.
[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a transmission gear 19 installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 12, and an outer gear ring 20 that meshes with the transmission gear 19 is installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper 1.
[0027] During the rotation of the ring gear 8, the transmission gear 19 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 12 will rotate due to its meshing with the outer gear ring 20, which will drive the rotating disk 13 to rotate, so that the striking component on the rotating disk 13 can effectively strike the outer wall of the storage hopper 1.
[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly includes a mounting base 11 installed on the outer wall of the storage hopper 1, a motor 10 mounted on the mounting base 11, and a drive gear 9 that meshes with a ring gear 8 mounted on the drive end of the motor 10.
[0029] By starting the motor 10, the motor 10 drives the drive gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the ring gear 8 to rotate.
[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, a feeding hopper 2 is installed on the top of the storage hopper 1 for adding fused magnesia.
