Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeder hopper technology, and specifically discloses a feeder hopper that facilitates feeding. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production and agricultural processing, the feeder hopper is a core component for continuous material conveying, and its smooth feeding directly determines the efficiency and stability of the entire production process. However, current feeder hoppers generally face two major problems in practical applications due to the complexity of material characteristics and structural design flaws:

[0003] On the one hand, feed blockage is a frequent problem. When processing materials containing lumps, fibrous impurities, or high moisture content, the materials easily stick together and accumulate inside the hopper. Especially in the discharge area below the hopper, due to the constricted space, the resistance to material flow increases sharply, and lumps easily form dense blockages here, directly causing feed interruption. Existing solutions mostly rely on manual unblocking, which not only forcibly interrupts the production process and significantly increases the intensity of manual labor, but may also cause production rhythm disruption due to frequent shutdowns, significantly reducing overall production efficiency.

[0004] On the other hand, the discharge rate adjustment function is lacking. The existing feed hopper discharge port lacks an adjustable discharge size device, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the material output according to the processing capacity of downstream equipment or production process requirements. When downstream equipment needs to reduce output, excess material accumulates downstream of the discharge port, further exacerbating the risk of blockage; conversely, when increased production is required, the fixed discharge size limits the feeding speed, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-efficiency production and severely restricting the adaptability of the feeder under different operating conditions. Therefore, a feeder hopper that facilitates feeding is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a feeder hopper that facilitates feeding. Through gear transmission, related components are driven to move, causing the stirring rod and blades to stir and cut the material, effectively dispersing the material and preventing clumping and accumulation. The screw rod and the inner screw cylinder work together to drive the conical disc to move up and down, changing the space between it and the inner wall of the feed hopper, thereby flexibly adjusting the feeding speed.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a feeder hopper for easy feeding includes a feed hopper, the inside of which is provided with an anti-clogging mechanism:

[0007] The anti-clogging mechanism includes a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed hopper. A sleeve is rotatably connected through the upper end of the horizontal plate. A driven gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve. A driving gear is meshed with the outer wall of the driven gear. An internally threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the internally threaded cylinder. A conical disc is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded rod. A plurality of evenly distributed stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conical disc. Blades are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of stirring rods.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the horizontal plate is fixedly connected to an L-shaped plate, and the upper end of the L-shaped plate is equipped with a second motor whose output end is fixedly connected to the drive gear.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bearing is installed at the junction of the sleeve and the horizontal plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the outer wall of the conical disc is equal to the diameter of the lower inner side of the feed hopper.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeder hopper for easy feeding has short rods fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of stirring rods.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] (2) By using the cooperation between the threaded rod and the internal threaded cylinder, the conical disc moves up and down, changing the size of the space between it and the inner wall of the feed hopper, thereby flexibly adjusting the feeding speed. It can be quickly adjusted according to actual production needs, improving the equipment's adaptability to different production conditions and helping to improve overall production efficiency.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A feeder hopper for easy feeding includes a feed hopper 1, the inside of which is equipped with an anti-clogging mechanism:

[0025] The anti-clogging mechanism includes a horizontal plate 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the feed hopper 1. A sleeve 6 is rotatably connected through the upper end of the horizontal plate 2. A driven gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 6. A driving gear 5 is meshed with the outer wall of the driven gear 7. An internally threaded cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 6. A threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the internally threaded cylinder 8. A conical disc 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded rod 9. A plurality of evenly distributed stirring rods 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conical disc 14. Blades 16 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of stirring rods 15.

[0026] In this embodiment: When the anti-clogging mechanism of the feeder hopper that facilitates feeding is working, the drive gear 5 rotates under the drive of the power unit. Since the drive gear 5 meshes with the driven gear 7, it will drive the driven gear 7 and the sleeve 6 fixedly connected to it to rotate together. When the sleeve 6 rotates, the internal threaded cylinder 8 and the threaded rod 9 fixedly connected to its inner wall will rotate accordingly, thereby causing the conical disc 14, multiple stirring rods 15 and blades 16 to rotate, so as to disperse the material, avoid agglomeration and accumulation, and prevent material blockage.

[0027] When the threaded rod 9 rotates, it moves up and down on the inner wall of the internal threaded cylinder 8, which drives the conical disc 14 fixedly connected at the lower end to move synchronously. When the conical disc 14 moves upward, the space between the conical disc 14 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 increases, and the feeding speed increases accordingly. When the conical disc 14 moves downward, the space between the conical disc 14 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 decreases, and the feeding speed decreases accordingly, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the flow speed of the material.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end of the internal threaded cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 12, and the outer wall of the limiting rod 12 is slidably connected to a support plate 10. The upper end of the support plate 10 is equipped with a first motor 11, and the output end of the first motor 11 passes through the support plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the threaded rod 9 can be driven to rotate by the first motor 11.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an L-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the horizontal plate 2, and a second motor 4 with its output end fixedly connected to the drive gear 5 is installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second motor 4 can drive the drive gear 5 to rotate.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a bearing is installed at the junction of the sleeve 6 and the horizontal plate 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bearing can easily support the sleeve 6 and increase the smoothness of the sleeve 6 rotation.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the diameter of the outer wall of the conical disk 14 is equal to the diameter of the lower inner side of the feed hopper 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the diameter of the outer wall of the conical disc 14 is equal to the diameter of the lower inner side of the feed hopper 1. By fitting the conical disc 14 into the lower inner side of the feed hopper 1, material discharge can be prevented.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed mounting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the feed hopper 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the feeding hopper 1 can be easily installed at the feed inlet of the feeder via the mounting plate 13.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, short rods are fixedly connected to the outer walls of multiple stirring rods 15.

[0039] In this embodiment, the short rod can assist the stirring rod 15 in stirring the material.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the anti-blocking mechanism of the feeder hopper that facilitates feeding is working, the second motor 4 can drive the drive gear 5 to rotate. The drive gear 5 rotates under the drive of the power device. Since the drive gear 5 meshes with the driven gear 7, it will drive the driven gear 7 and the sleeve 6 fixedly connected to it to rotate together. When the sleeve 6 rotates, the internal threaded cylinder 8 and threaded rod 9 fixedly connected to its inner wall will rotate accordingly, thereby causing the conical disc 14, multiple stirring rods 15 and blades 16 to rotate, so as to disperse the material, avoid agglomeration and accumulation, and prevent material blockage.

[0041] The first motor 11 can drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate. When the threaded rod 9 rotates, it moves up and down on the inner wall of the inner threaded cylinder 8, which will drive the conical disc 14 fixedly connected at the lower end to move synchronously. When the conical disc 14 moves upward, the space between the conical disc 14 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 increases, and the feeding speed increases accordingly. When the conical disc 14 moves downward, the space between the conical disc 14 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 1 decreases, and the feeding speed decreases accordingly, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the flow speed of the material.
