Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of material feeding equipment, and in particular relates to a chute device that can be flexibly adjusted. Background Technology
[0002] In the current field of material feeding, common methods include Y-shaped / T-shaped branched three-way chutes and cross-shaped four-way chutes. Three-way chutes are inexpensive and have a simple and reliable structure, but they only support two outputs, requiring additional equipment to achieve multi-way flow. Four-way chutes, while supporting three outputs and offering greater adaptability, have higher maintenance costs and greater system complexity. Furthermore, both types of chutes require adjustable baffles on each branch to achieve material distribution and flow control, further increasing costs.
[0003] This invention designs a flexibly adjustable chute device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A flexibly adjustable chute device includes a chute body, an inlet end at the upper end of the chute body, and a middle outlet end, a first branch outlet end, and a second branch outlet end at the lower end of the chute body. The first branch outlet end and the second branch outlet end are located on the left and right sides of the middle outlet end, respectively. A first adjusting baffle and a second adjusting baffle are installed in the middle of the chute body. The first adjusting baffle is located adjacent to the first branch outlet end and the middle outlet end, and the second adjusting baffle is located adjacent to the second branch outlet end and the middle outlet end.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, one end of both the first adjusting baffle and the second adjusting baffle is mounted on the chute body via a rotating shaft, and the other end of both the first adjusting baffle and the second adjusting baffle is equipped with a positioning pin that connects to the chute body.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the chute body is equipped with drive devices connected to the two rotating shafts.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the distance between the two rotating shafts is equal to the height of the first adjusting baffle, and the first adjusting baffle and the second adjusting baffle have the same dimensions.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the inner walls of the first and second branch discharge ends near the middle discharge end are stepped.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This utility model combines the advantages of three-way and four-way chutes while avoiding their disadvantages. With a simple structure and low maintenance costs, it achieves multiple material distribution effects through the flexible adjustment of the first and second adjusting baffles. The number of distribution channels can be flexibly switched. In addition, by adjusting the angle of the first or second adjusting baffle within an appropriate range, the material distribution ratio of each channel can also be adjusted. It is suitable for various working conditions with different output paths, reduces the failure rate of complex chutes, and achieves the goal of simple and efficient material distribution. It has stronger adaptability and can also be used as a discharge chute for unloading material from stockyard silos, increasing the number of unloading points and unloading area, and improving the capacity of stockyard silos.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following embodiments or drawings are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0021] A flexible adjustable chute device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the chute includes a main body with a feed end 1 at the upper end and a middle discharge end 3, a first branch discharge end 21, and a second branch discharge end 22 at the lower end. The first branch discharge end 21 and the second branch discharge end 22 are located on the left and right sides of the middle discharge end 3, respectively. A first adjusting baffle 41 and a second adjusting baffle 42 are installed in the middle of the chute. The first adjusting baffle 41 is located adjacent to the first branch discharge end 21 and the middle discharge end 3, and the second adjusting baffle 42 is located adjacent to the second branch discharge end 22 and the middle discharge end 3.
[0022] One end of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 are both mounted on the chute body via a rotating shaft 5. The other end of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 are both equipped with a positioning pin 6 connected to the chute body. The chute body is equipped with a drive device 7 connected to the two rotating shafts 5.
[0023] The rotating shaft 5 is used to control the rotation angle of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42. The rotating shaft 5 can be controlled by various driving methods such as manual adjustment, hydraulic swing cylinder, electric push rod, and intelligent electro-hydraulic hybrid. It can be flexibly configured according to user requirements to meet their respective needs. It can precisely control the output flow of each channel of the chute. The positioning pin 6 is used to fix the angle of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 to improve the stability of the material distribution in the chute.
[0024] The end connected to the rotating shaft 5 is the fixed end of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42. The first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 can rotate around the fixed end as the origin. The fixed end is fixed in position on the chute body. The end connected to the positioning pin 6 is the movable end of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42. The movable end moves around the fixed end. When it is necessary to control the rotation of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42, the positioning pin 6 is separated from the chute body, and the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 are in a rotatable state. After the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 have completed the angle adjustment action, the positioning pin 6 is used to fix the movable end of the first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42.
[0025] The distance between the two rotating shafts 5 is equal to the height of the first adjusting baffle 41. The first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 have the same size. The first adjusting baffle 41 and the second adjusting baffle 42 are made of wear-resistant baffles.
[0026] The inner walls of the first branch discharge end 21 and the second branch discharge end 22 near the middle discharge end 3 are stepped, naturally accumulating into a buffer layer during the material distribution process to reduce the wear of the material on the chute structure.
[0027] The angle between the first adjusting baffle 41 and the upper opening of the middle discharge end 3 is set as β1, the angle between the second adjusting baffle 42 and the upper opening of the middle discharge end 3 is set as β2, the angle of the first branch discharge end 21 is set as α1, the angle of the second branch discharge end 22 is set as α2, and the natural accumulation angle of the material is set as γ.
[0028] α1 and α2 ≥ γ;
[0029] 0°≤β1 and β2≤180°-γ;
[0030] The device mainly includes the following application forms:
[0031] 1. When 60 < β1 and β2 < 180° - γ, this device is a three-output chute device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the discharge end 3, the first branch discharge end 21, and the second branch discharge end 22 are all in an open state. By changing β1 and β2, the proportion of the three-way material distribution can be adjusted.
[0032] 2. When either β1 or β2 is 0 and the other is <180°-γ, this device is a two-way branched output chute device, for example, β1=0, β2<180°-γ, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the discharge end 3 is in a closed state, while the first branch discharge end 21 and the second branch discharge end 22 are both in an open state. By changing β2, the ratio of the two discharge paths can be adjusted.
[0033] 3. When either β1 or β2 = 180° - γ and the other > 0, this device is a two-output chute device. For example, β2 = 180° - γ and β1 > 0. Figure 5 As shown, the discharge end 3 and the first branch discharge end 21 are both in an open state, while the second branch discharge end 22 is in a closed state. By changing β1, the proportion of material distribution on the side and in the middle can be adjusted.
[0034] 4. When one of β1 and β2 = 0 and the other = 180° - γ, this device is a two-sided output chute device, for example, β1 = 0, β2 = 180° - γ, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, this enables unidirectional output path selection on both sides.
[0035] 5. When β1 and β2 = 180° - γ, this device is an intermediate output chute device, such as... Figure 7 As shown, this implements the selection of the intermediate unidirectional output path.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
