[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a tunnel kiln material feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the tunnel kiln material feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200, and a hopper 300.
[0034] The conveying mechanism 200 includes a carriage 201 and a conveyor belt 202. The conveyor belt 202 is disposed on the carriage 201. The carriage 201 is slidably mounted on the frame 100 along the length of the conveyor belt 202. For example, the conveying mechanism 200 can be provided with one or more. The frame 100 can be provided with mounting brackets corresponding to the carriage 201. The carriage 201 can be slidably mounted on the corresponding mounting bracket. The carriage 201 can be manually pushed or driven by the drive mechanism 400. The carriage 201 can be provided with two drive wheels 207. One of the drive wheels 207 can be connected to a motor. The conveyor belt 202 can be installed between the two drive wheels 207. The hopper 300 is located on the frame 100 and corresponds to the conveying mechanism 200. For example, when there are multiple conveying mechanisms 200, there are multiple hoppers 300. The hopper 300 is located above the corresponding conveying mechanism 200. The hopper 300 does not move with the slide 201. The bottom end of the hopper 300 may be provided with a discharge port 301. The hopper 300 discharges the material onto the conveyor belt 202 of the corresponding conveying mechanism 200 through the discharge port 301.
[0035] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to place material in the mold of the kiln car 500, the kiln car 500 is moved to the outside of the discharge end of the conveyor belt 202, and the mold of the kiln car 500 is extended along the length direction of the conveyor belt 202. Then, the slide 201 is slid so that the conveyor belt 202 moves to the top of the mold. The hopper 300 discharges the material onto the conveyor belt 202, and the conveyor belt 202 transports the material into the mold. During the conveying process, the slide 201 is slid forward so that the conveyor belt 202 can place the material sequentially along the length direction of the mold of the kiln car 500. After the material is placed, the conveyor mechanism 200 is pulled out.
[0036] According to the tunnel kiln material feeder of this utility model embodiment, during the material feeding process, only the slide 201 and the conveyor belt 202 need to be moved, and the entire material feeder does not need to be moved. For example, the frame 100, the hopper 300 and the material in the hopper 300 do not need to be moved. In this way, not only is the operation more convenient, but the energy consumption required for movement is also lower, and the practicality is better.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, multiple conveying mechanisms 200 are provided and are parallel to each other, with each conveying mechanism 200 having a different height. Correspondingly, multiple hoppers 300 are provided, with each hopper 300 having a different bottom height. The number of conveying mechanisms 200 can be two, three, four, or other suitable numbers, for example, three. Similarly, the number of hoppers 300 can be two, three, four, or other suitable numbers, for example, three. Since the conveying mechanisms 200 are parallel to each other, their conveyor belts 202 are also parallel to each other, and the heights of the conveying mechanisms 200 and the bottom heights of the hoppers 300 are different. In this embodiment, multiple conveying mechanisms 200 and hoppers 300 are provided, allowing for material distribution to multiple kiln cars 500 molds. Furthermore, different hoppers 300 can store different materials, thus enabling the distribution of different materials and making material distribution more convenient. Furthermore, the heights of each conveying mechanism 200 and the bottom heights of each hopper 300 are different, which allows for material distribution to the molds of different layers of the kiln car 500, making material distribution more convenient.
[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, each conveying mechanism 200 is arranged in a stepped manner along the width direction of the frame 100, and each hopper 300 is arranged in a stepped manner along the width direction of the frame 100. For example, when there are three conveying mechanisms 200 and three hoppers 300, the three conveying mechanisms 200 and the three hoppers 300 can be arranged along the width direction of the frame 100, and the heights of the three conveying mechanisms 200 are different along the width direction of the frame 100. For example, the heights of the three conveying mechanisms 200 can increase sequentially from left to right in a stepped arrangement, and the heights of the three hoppers 300 are different along the width direction of the frame 100. For example, the heights of the three hoppers 300 can increase sequentially from left to right in a stepped arrangement, so as to correspond one-to-one with the three conveying mechanisms 200.
[0039] Thus, for reference Figure 2As shown, material can be distributed to three kiln cars 500. For example, the three kiln cars 500 can be arranged side by side. Each kiln car 500 can be equipped with three layers of mounting plates arranged vertically. The three layers of mounting plates are used to place molds. When distributing material, the three kiln cars 500 can move sequentially along the width direction of the frame 100 to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 202 of different conveying mechanisms 200. Then, the conveyor belts 202 of the three conveying mechanisms 200 can cooperate to distribute material to the molds of different layers of the three kiln cars 500 in sequence, making material distribution more convenient and the distribution effect better.
[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a drive mechanism 400 is provided between the frame 100 and the slide 201. The drive mechanism 400 includes a drive motor 401, a drive gear 402, and a rack 403. The drive motor 401 is located on the slide 201, the drive gear 402 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 401, and the rack 403 is located on the frame 100 and extends along the sliding direction of the slide 201. The drive gear 402 meshes with the rack 403. When the drive motor 401 is started, it controls the drive gear 402 to rotate. Since the drive gear 402 meshes with the rack 403, it can move relative to the rack 403, thereby driving the slide 201 to slide. The operation is simple and convenient, saving time and effort.
[0041] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom end of the hopper 300 is provided with a discharge port 301, which extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202 to both sides of the conveyor belt 202. In this embodiment, the discharge port 301 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202 to both sides of the conveyor belt 202, so that the material discharged from the hopper 300 can be more evenly distributed on the conveyor belt 202 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202, thereby making the material distribution more uniform.
[0042] It should be noted that a valve may be installed at the bottom of the hopper 300 to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 301.
[0043] refer to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the conveying mechanism 200 further includes a material leveling component 203. The material leveling component 203 includes a material leveling plate 204, which is disposed on the carriage 201 and located above the conveyor belt 202. The material leveling plate 204 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202 to both sides of the conveyor belt 202, and there is a gap between the bottom end of the material leveling plate 204 and the upper surface of the conveyor belt 202. In this embodiment, when the conveyor belt 202 conveys the material to a position below the material leveling plate 204, the material leveling plate 204 can push the material above the bottom end of the material leveling plate 204 to other positions along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202, thereby making the material on the conveyor belt 202 more evenly distributed along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202, and thus making the material distribution more uniform.
[0044] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the material equalization plate 204 is rotatably connected to the slide 201. The rotation axis of the material equalization plate 204 extends along the width direction of the conveyor belt 202. An elastic reset member is provided between the material equalization plate 204 and the slide 201. The elastic reset member is used to drive the material equalization plate 204 to rotate downwards to a vertical state. For example, the elastic reset member can be a torsion spring or an elastic sheet. When the material is too large during the conveying process, which may cause the material to block between the material equalization plate 204 and the conveyor belt 202, the material equalization plate 204 can be appropriately flipped upwards to allow the material to pass through. Afterwards, the material equalization plate 204 is flipped downwards to a vertical state by the elastic restoring force of the elastic reset member to continue the material equalization work.
[0045] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material distribution assembly 203 further includes a material distribution cylinder 205. The material distribution cylinder 205 is rotatably mounted on the slide 201 around its own axis and is located above the conveyor belt 202. The axial direction of the material distribution cylinder 205 is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 202. The outer peripheral wall of the material distribution cylinder 205 is provided with multiple material distribution rods 206. For example, the material distribution rod 206 at the bottom of the material distribution cylinder 205 can extend downward and have a certain gap with the conveyor belt 202. When the conveyor belt 202 transports the material to the area below the material distribution cylinder 205, if the material in some positions is too high, it can push the corresponding material distribution rod 206. The material distribution rod 206 drives the material distribution cylinder 205 to rotate. The material distribution cylinder 205 can level the excessively high material through the multiple material distribution rods 206, thereby making the material distribution more uniform.
[0046] refer to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material leveling plate 204 and the material leveling cylinder 205 are both located at the end of the slide 201 near the discharge end of the conveyor belt 202. Since the conveying mechanism 200 needs to move relative to the corresponding hopper 300 during the sliding process of the slide 201, in this embodiment, the material leveling plate 204 and the material leveling cylinder 205 are both located at the end of the slide 201 near the discharge end of the conveyor belt 202. Thus, during the movement of the conveying mechanism 200, interference between the hopper 300 and the material leveling plate 204 and the material leveling cylinder 205 can be avoided, resulting in better practicality.
[0047] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material leveling plate 204 is located on the side of the material leveling cylinder 205 near the discharge end of the conveyor belt 202. In this way, the material first passes through the material leveling cylinder 205 to reduce its height before being leveled by the material leveling plate 204, achieving better material leveling and further reducing material blockage at the material leveling plate 204.
[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
