Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice conveying technology, specifically relating to a rice elevator. Background Technology

[0002] Rice elevators are mechanical equipment used in the rice processing industry. They are mainly used to lift rice from a low place to a high place for conveying, transferring, packaging, or other processing.

[0003] In existing technologies, common rice conveyors include bucket elevators and screw conveyors. Bucket elevators primarily use a motor to drive circulating buckets, which scoop rice from top to bottom, lifting it from a lower position to a higher position before emptying it. They offer high conveying heights, but their overall structure is complex, making installation and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, bucket elevators can only convey vertically, not at an incline, making them suitable for large-scale conveying. Screw conveyors, on the other hand, use a motor to drive a screw conveyor shaft. The screw blades push the rice, lifting it from a lower position to a higher position before discharging it. They can convey vertically or at an incline, but the conveying distance is limited, making them suitable for small-scale conveying. However, screw conveyors operate in a closed system, and the screw blades can compress the rice during transport, easily leading to rice breakage and a high breakage rate.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a rice elevator suitable for small-scale conveying that will not compress the rice during conveying. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a rice elevator to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rice conveyor includes: a support assembly comprising a bracket; one end of the bracket is horizontal and the other end is inclined upward; a conveying assembly comprising a motor, a drive roller, a conveyor belt, push plates, and baffles; the drive roller is rotatably disposed at both ends of the bracket; the length direction of the drive roller is consistent with the width direction of the bracket; the conveyor belt surrounds the drive roller and is connected to the drive roller; the drive roller drives the conveyor belt to rotate; the motor is mechanically connected to the drive roller and drives the drive roller to rotate; the push plates are vertically disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt; the length direction of the push plates is consistent with the width direction of the conveyor belt; the push plates are distributed in parallel at intervals along the length direction of the conveyor belt; the baffles are vertically disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt along the length direction of the conveyor belt.

[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the baffle is made of an elastic material.

[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the baffle has a wave structure.

[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly further includes a pressure roller; the pressure roller is rotatably disposed at the connection between the horizontal end and the inclined end of the support; the length direction of the pressure roller is consistent with the width direction of the support; the pressure roller is located inside the conveyor belt; the pressure roller is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the conveyor belt.

[0012] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the conveying assembly further includes pressure rollers; the pressure rollers are rotatably disposed on both sides of the connection between the horizontal end and the inclined end of the support; the pressure rollers are located above the conveyor belt; the length direction of the axis of the pressure rollers is consistent with the width direction of the support; the surface of the pressure rollers is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt; and the baffles are located between the pressure rollers.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This application features a simple overall structure and can be tilted upwards for conveying rice, making it suitable for small businesses and small-scale conveying. Through the combined use of push plates and baffles, rice is moved from a low to a high position without being squeezed, minimizing damage. In use, the motor is started, driving the transmission roller to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt rotates in a cycle, and the push plates and baffles move with the belt. Rice is poured into the conveyor belt through the discharge port. The baffles prevent rice leakage as it enters the conveying area. When the rice tilts upwards, the push plates prevent it from sliding downwards, further pushing it upwards. Once the rice reaches its highest point, it is discharged from the discharge port into a collection container, completing the rice lifting process. Attached Figure Description

In section 1, motor 11 is directly connected to a drive roller 22. Motor 21 drives the drive roller 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 23 to rotate. Push plates 24 are vertically fixed on the surface of the conveyor belt 23. The length direction of push plates 24 is consistent with the width direction of the conveyor belt 23, and push plates 24 are distributed parallel to each other at equal intervals along the length direction of the conveyor belt 23. Baffles 25 are vertically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 23 along the length direction of the conveyor belt 23. Push plates 24 are located between two baffles 25. The two ends of push plates 24 are in contact with the two ends of baffles 25, but are not connected. Push plates 24 divide baffles 25 into multiple conveying areas, each of which is supported by the conveyor belt 23. In addition, it should be noted that the connection method between the motor and the drive roller is a conventional connection. The specific model of the motor is not an improvement point of this application and will not be described here.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the baffle 25 is made of an elastic material, which makes the baffle 25 elastic and able to recover after deformation. The elastic material can be rubber, polyethylene, polyurethane, etc., to disperse the concentrated stress at the connection between the baffle 25 and the conveyor belt 23 and prevent the baffle 25 from cracking. Preferably, the surface of the baffle 25 has a wave structure, that is, the surface of the baffle 25 is uneven, to increase the elastic deformation range of the baffle 25. When the baffle 25 needs to turn after passing the transmission roller 22, the baffle 25 is stretched and deformed to compensate for the length required for the turn. After the turn is completed, the baffle 25 returns to its original shape. During the deformation process, the vertical height of the baffle 25 remains unchanged, always blocking the rice and preventing the rice from leaking to the side.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a pressure roller 26; the pressure roller 26 is rotatably disposed at the connection between the horizontal end and the inclined end of the bracket 11; the length direction of the pressure roller 26 is consistent with the width direction of the bracket 11; the pressure roller 26 is located inside the conveyor belt 23; the pressure roller 26 contacts the inner bottom surface of the conveyor belt 23 to press down the middle of the inner bottom surface of the conveyor belt 23, so that the conveyor belt 23 is kept taut.

[0032] like Figure 5As shown, preferably, the conveying assembly 2 further includes a pressure roller 27; the pressure roller 27 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the connection between the horizontal end and the inclined end of the support 11; the pressure roller 27 is located above the conveyor belt 23; the length direction of the axis of the pressure roller 27 is consistent with the width direction of the support 11; the surface of the pressure roller 27 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 23; the baffle 25 is located between the pressure rollers 27 to prevent the pressure rollers 27 from contacting the rice, and the pressure roller 27 presses the middle of the outer surface of the conveyor belt 23 to keep the conveyor belt 23 taut.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, preferably, the support assembly 1 further includes a protective cover 12; the protective cover 12 covers the conveyor belt 23, the baffle 25 and the push plate 24 with the corresponding bracket 11; the top surface of the protective cover 12 near the horizontal end of the bracket 11 has a feed inlet to inject rice; the end of the protective cover 12 away from the inclined end of the bracket 11 has a discharge outlet, which is located directly below the drive roller 22 to discharge rice.

[0034] Work style:

[0035] In use, the motor 21 is started, which drives the transmission roller 22 to rotate. The transmission roller 22 then drives the conveyor belt 23 to run. The conveyor belt 23 rotates in a cycle. The push plate 24 and the baffle 25 move with the conveyor belt 23. Rice is poured into the conveyor belt 23 through the discharge port. The rice enters the conveying area. The baffle 25 blocks the rice to prevent side leakage. When the rice moves upward at an angle, the push plate 24 blocks the rice from sliding downward, thus pushing the rice to move upward at an angle. When the rice reaches the highest point, it is discharged from the discharge port and enters the collection container, completing the lifting of the rice. The overall structure of this application is simple. It can be tilted upward to convey rice, which is suitable for small-scale conveying in small enterprises. Through the combined use of the push plate 24 and the baffle 25, the rice is moved from a low place to a high place. The rice is not squeezed during the entire conveying process, and the damage to the rice is small.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
