AI Technical Summary
When raw materials for metal smelting are thrown onto the inner wall of the feeder, they are prone to wear and rebound, which can prevent them from entering the discharge pipe smoothly. Long-term accumulation may jam the conveyor belt.
The outer casing is equipped with a material passage hole and an anti-jump cover assembly. By installing the anti-jump cover assembly at the highest point of the conveyor belt, the metal smelting raw material is thrown to the inside of the anti-jump cover and then enters the discharge pipe along the inner wall, preventing it from rebounding into the inside of the feeder.
It effectively prevents metal smelting raw materials from rebounding into the feeder, reduces wear on the inner wall, ensures smooth entry into the discharge pipe, and avoids the conveyor belt getting stuck.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding machine technology, and in particular relates to a bucket feeder for metal smelting. Background Technology
[0002] When a bucket elevator feeds metal smelting raw materials, the feeding bucket rotates to the highest point of the conveyor belt and throws the metal smelting raw materials out of the feeding bucket. The metal smelting raw materials are thrown against the outer inner wall of the elevator and enter the discharge pipe along the inner wall of the elevator shell. Because the metal smelting raw materials have a high density and hardness, the metal smelting raw materials are easily worn when thrown against the inner wall of the elevator shell, resulting in a rough inner wall. When the metal smelting raw materials are thrown against the rough inner wall of the elevator shell, they bounce back. Due to the roughness of the inner wall, the rebound direction is chaotic, making it impossible for the metal smelting raw materials to enter the discharge pipe. As a result, they accumulate inside the elevator shell. The metal smelting raw materials that accumulate for a long time can easily jam the conveyor belt of the elevator.
[0003] To address these issues, we provide a bucket feeder for metal smelting. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bucket feeder for metal smelting. Rotating shafts are rotatably installed at the upper and lower ends of the vertical plate on one side of the outer casing. The conveyor belt in the feeding component is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating shafts. The rotation of the conveyor belt transports the feeding buckets on the belt surface from the lower end of one side to the upper end of the other side, thereby realizing the transfer of metal smelting raw materials. A material passage hole is opened at the upper end of the outer casing in the outer casing, and an anti-jump shield assembly is installed at the upper end of the outer casing. When the conveyor belt transports the feeding buckets to the highest point, the metal smelting raw materials in the feeding buckets are thrown towards the inside of the anti-jump shield assembly. After contacting the inside of the anti-jump shield assembly, the metal smelting raw materials enter the discharge pipe on one side of the outer casing along the inner wall of the anti-jump shield assembly, preventing the metal smelting raw materials from bouncing back into the feeder after being thrown out.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model relates to a bucket feeder for metal smelting, comprising a housing component 1 and a feeding component 2. The housing component 1 includes a vertical plate 101, an outer cover 102, and an anti-jump cover assembly 103. The feeding component 2 includes a conveyor belt 201 and a set of feeding buckets 202. By rotatably mounting rotating shafts 101a at the upper and lower ends of one side of the vertical plate 101 in the housing component 1, the conveyor belt 201 in the feeding component 2 is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating shafts 101a. When the conveyor belt 201 rotates, it drives the feeding buckets 202 on the belt surface to transfer from the lower end to the upper end. This enables the conveying of raw materials for metal smelting. By opening a material passage hole 102b at the upper end of the outer casing 102 in the outer casing component 1, and installing an anti-jump shield assembly 103 at the upper end of the outer casing 102, when the conveyor belt 201 conveys the feeding hopper 202 to the highest point, the raw materials for metal smelting in the feeding hopper 202 are thrown towards the inside of the anti-jump shield assembly 103. After contacting the inside of the anti-jump shield assembly 103, the raw materials for metal smelting enter the discharge pipe 102a on one side of the outer casing 102 along the inner wall of the anti-jump shield assembly 103, preventing the raw materials for metal smelting from being thrown out and bouncing back into the feeding machine.
[0026] Specifically, rotating shafts 101a are rotatably installed at the upper and lower ends of one side of the vertical plate 101. The conveyor belt 201 is sleeved on the outside of the two rotating shafts 101a. One side of a set of feeding hoppers 202 is fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 201. The outer cover 102 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 101 where the conveyor belt 201 is located. The upper end of the outer cover 102 is connected to the discharge pipe 102a. The top of the outer cover 102 has a through hole 102b on the side near the discharge pipe 102a. The anti-jump cover assembly 103 covers the upper end of the outer cover 102. The end of the feeding hopper 202 away from the conveyor belt 201 is equipped with a wall-mounted cover 202a.
[0027] Furthermore, the feeding hopper 202 has an opening on the side away from the conveyor belt 201. The wall cover 202a includes a wall-mounting plate 202a-1 and two arc-shaped plates 202a-2. The two arc-shaped plates 202a-2 are fixed at both ends of the wall-mounting plate 202a-1. One straight edge of the arc-shaped plate 202a-2 is spliced with the end face of the wall-mounting plate 202a-1. The center of the side of the two arc-shaped plates 202a-2 away from the wall-mounting plate 202a-1 is rotatably mounted on the two side plates at the opening of the feeding hopper 202.
[0028] Furthermore, a wall-adhesive roller 202a-3 is rotatably mounted on the end of the wall-adhesive cover 202a away from the feeding hopper 202. The roller axis of the wall-adhesive roller 202a-3 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 101a. The roller surface of the wall-adhesive roller 202a-3 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer cover 102. When the metal smelting raw material that needs to be fed enters the outer cover 102, the wall-adhesive cover 202a opens under the action of gravity, and the metal smelting raw material slides along the wall-adhesive plate 202a-1 into the feeding hopper 202, preventing the metal smelting raw material from falling from the gap between the feeding hopper 202 and the inner wall of the outer cover 102. At the same time, the wall-adhesive roller 202a-3 reduces the friction with the inner wall of the outer cover 102.
[0029] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] The motor drives the conveyor belt 201 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 201 drives the feeding hopper 202 to transfer. When the metal smelting raw material that needs to be fed enters the outer shell 102, the wall-mounted cover 202a opens under the action of gravity, and the metal smelting raw material slides into the feeding hopper 202 along the wall-mounted plate 202a-1, preventing the metal smelting raw material from falling from the gap between the feeding hopper 202 and the inner wall of the outer shell 102. At the same time, the wall-mounted roller 202a-3 reduces the friction with the inner wall of the outer shell 102. When the conveyor belt 201 transports the feeding hopper 202 to the highest point, the metal smelting raw material in the feeding hopper 202 is thrown towards the inside of the anti-jump cover assembly 103. After contacting the inside of the anti-jump cover assembly 103, the metal smelting raw material enters the discharge pipe 102a on one side of the outer shell 102 along the inner wall of the anti-jump cover assembly 103. Example 2
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Based on Embodiment 1, the anti-jump shield assembly 103 includes a cloth frame 103a and an anti-jump curtain 103b. By covering the frame surface of the cloth frame 103a with the anti-jump curtain 103b, when the metal smelting raw material is thrown, the metal smelting raw material comes into contact with the anti-jump curtain 103b. The anti-jump curtain 103b buffers and absorbs the impact force of the metal smelting raw material, thereby preventing the metal smelting raw material from bouncing and allowing the metal smelting raw material to slide along the anti-jump curtain 103b into the discharge pipe 102a.
[0032] Specifically, the fabric frame 103a covers the upper part of the outer shell 102, and the anti-jump fabric curtain 103b covers the frame surface of the fabric frame 103a.
[0033] Furthermore, a feed hole 102c is provided on the lower side of the outer casing 102 away from the discharge pipe 102a, and a feed funnel 102c-1 is connected to the outside of the feed hole 102c.
[0034] Furthermore, a guide plate groove 102a-1 is hinged to the outside of the discharge pipe 102a. The guide plate groove 102a-1 is a U-shaped plate structure with the opening facing upward. The guide plate groove 102a-1 is sleeved on the outside of the discharge pipe 102a. The hinge rotation direction between the guide plate groove 102a-1 and the discharge pipe 102a is parallel to the axis of the rotation shaft 101a.
[0035] Furthermore, a base plate 104 is installed at the lower end of the outer casing 102, and a set of casters 104a is installed at the lower end of the base plate 104.
[0036] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0037] The metal smelting raw materials to be fed are poured into the feed funnel 102c-1. The metal smelting raw materials pass through the feed hole 102c into the outer casing 102 and fall into the upward conveying hopper 202. When the hopper 202 is conveyed to the highest point by the conveyor belt 201, the metal smelting raw materials inside the hopper 202 are thrown towards the anti-jump curtain 103b. The anti-jump curtain 103b buffers and absorbs the impact force of the metal smelting raw materials, thereby preventing the metal smelting raw materials from bouncing, and allowing the metal smelting raw materials to slide along the anti-jump curtain 103b into the discharge pipe 102a.
