Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator receiving technology, and in particular to a receiving device for a bucket elevator. Background Technology

[0002] A bucket elevator is a mechanical device used to lift materials. It uses a transmission device with bucket wheels to continuously or intermittently lift bulk materials (such as ore, coal, grain, powder, etc.). It is widely used in mining, metallurgy, chemical, building materials, and grain industries to realize the conveying, loading and unloading of materials. Simply put, a bucket elevator is a conveying device that uses bucket wheels and transmission belts or chains to lift materials from a low place to a high place. However, most bucket elevators in the current technology still have problems that need to be solved.

[0003] In existing technologies, most bucket elevators receive materials through a receiving hopper, which then falls onto the elevator for conveying. However, the receiving hoppers in most existing bucket elevators are not easy to adjust in position, making it difficult to precisely align with the equipment. They cannot quickly adapt to changes in processes or different production conditions, which can easily lead to material leakage. Furthermore, they are not easy to disassemble and assemble. When the receiving hopper is damaged, the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process requires more time for maintenance, affecting overall work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a receiving device for bucket elevators to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a material receiving device for bucket elevators.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A receiving device for a bucket elevator includes a U-shaped frame. Guide plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame. Rollers are provided on the adjacent sides of the two guide plates. Fixed seats are fitted onto the rollers, and the rollers are rotatably connected to the fixed seats. Movable plates are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two fixed seats. Pins are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two movable plates. Two guide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two movable plates on adjacent sides. A common sleeve is fitted onto the two guide rods at the same end. The guide rods are fixedly connected to the sleeve. A limit sleeve is provided on one side of the sleeve. The limit sleeve is fitted onto the guide rod, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the limit sleeve. A spring is fitted onto the guide rod. A common support plate is fixedly connected to the two limit sleeves. Four positioning rods are fixedly connected to the support plate on the side away from the limit sleeve. Positioning cylinders are fitted onto the positioning rods. A common receiving hopper is fixedly connected to the four positioning cylinders. Sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving hopper. The sleeve and pin are compatible. Due to the adoption of a technique that allows the pin to insert into the sleeve during the movement of the receiving hopper, the position of the receiving hopper is restricted when the pin is inserted into the sleeve, ensuring the stability of the receiving hopper on the pallet. Further adjustment of the pallet position allows for adjustment of the receiving hopper's position to adapt to different working conditions. Raising the receiving hopper allows the pin to be removed from the sleeve, releasing the restriction and allowing the receiving hopper to be removed. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of adjusting the receiving hopper's position in most existing bucket elevators, difficulty in precise docking with equipment, inability to quickly adapt to process changes or different production conditions, easy material leakage, and inconvenience of disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, when the receiving hopper is damaged, the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process requires more time for maintenance, affecting overall work efficiency. Therefore, this technology achieves the technical effect of adjusting the receiving hopper's position to adapt to different working conditions and equipment requirements, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the receiving hopper, simplifying maintenance and replacement processes, shortening the time required for disassembly and assembly, and improving work efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the pallet on the side away from the positioning rod. An adjusting screw is provided inside the cylinder, and a screw nut is sleeved on the adjusting screw. The screw nut is adapted to the adjusting screw, and the outer wall of the screw nut is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the pallet has two round tubes fixedly connected to the side away from the positioning rod, and a round rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the round tubes.

[0008] Preferably, the two round rods are fixedly connected to the same fixing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the fixing plate on the side away from the round rod, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw through a coupling, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] Preferably, the U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the bucket elevator.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because of the technique of inserting a pin into the sleeve during the moving of the receiving hopper, the position of the receiving hopper is restricted when the pin is inserted into the sleeve, ensuring the stability of the receiving hopper on the pallet. Further adjustment of the pallet position allows for adjustment of the receiving hopper's position to adapt to different working conditions. Raising the receiving hopper allows the pin to be removed from the sleeve, releasing the restriction and allowing the receiving hopper to be removed. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of adjusting the receiving hopper position in most existing bucket elevators, difficulty in precise docking with equipment, inability to quickly adapt to process changes or different production conditions, easy material leakage, and inconvenience of disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, when the receiving hopper is damaged, the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process requires more time for maintenance, affecting overall work efficiency. Therefore, this technology achieves the technical effect of adjusting the receiving hopper position to adapt to different working conditions and equipment requirements, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the receiving hopper, simplifying maintenance and replacement processes, shortening the time required for disassembly and assembly, and improving work efficiency.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-4 A receiving device for a bucket elevator includes a U-shaped frame 1. Guide plates 2 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 1. Rollers 3 are provided on the sides of the two guide plates 2 that are close to each other. Fixed seats 4 are fitted onto the rollers 3, and the rollers 3 are rotatably connected to the fixed seats 4. Movable plates 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two fixed seats 4 that are close to each other. Pins 6 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two movable plates 5 that are close to each other. Two guide rods 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two movable plates 5 on the sides that are close to each other. The two guide rods 8 at the same end... A guide rod 8 is fitted with the same sleeve plate 9. The guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the sleeve plate 9. A limit sleeve 10 is provided on one side of the sleeve plate 9. The limit sleeve 10 is fitted onto the guide rod 8. The guide rod 8 is slidably connected to the limit sleeve 10. A spring 11 is fitted onto the guide rod 8. The two limit sleeves 10 are fixedly connected to the same support plate 16. Four positioning rods 12 are fixedly connected to the support plate 16 on the side away from the limit sleeves 10. Positioning cylinders 13 are fitted onto the positioning rods 12. The four positioning cylinders 13 are fixedly connected to the same receiving hopper 14. Both sides of the receiving hopper 14 are fixedly connected to... The device includes a sleeve 15 that is compatible with a pin 6. By employing a technique that allows the pin to be inserted into the sleeve during the movement of the receiving hopper, the position of the receiving hopper is restricted when the pin is inserted, ensuring the stability of the hopper on the pallet. Adjusting the position of the pallet further adjusts the position of the receiving hopper to adapt to different working conditions. Raising the receiving hopper allows the pin to be removed from the sleeve, releasing the restriction and allowing the receiving hopper to be removed. This effectively solves the problems raised in the background section regarding the inconvenience of adjusting the receiving hopper position in most existing bucket elevators, making precise docking with equipment difficult, hindering rapid adaptation to process changes or different production conditions, easily leading to material leakage, and making disassembly and assembly inconvenient. Furthermore, the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process requires more time for maintenance when the receiving hopper is damaged, affecting overall work efficiency. This device achieves the technical effect of adjusting the receiving hopper position to adapt to different working conditions and equipment requirements, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the receiving hopper, simplifying maintenance and replacement processes, shortening the time required for disassembly and assembly, and improving work efficiency.

[0016] In this invention, a cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the pallet 16 on the side away from the positioning rod 12. An adjusting screw 18 is provided inside the cylinder 17, and a screw nut 19 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 18. The screw nut 19 is adapted to the adjusting screw 18, and the outer wall of the screw nut 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 17. When the adjusting screw 18 rotates, it will drive the screw nut 19 to move, which will drive the cylinder 17 to move. The cylinder 17 will then drive the pallet 16 to move to adjust the position of the receiving hopper 14.

[0017] In this utility model, two round tubes 20 are fixedly connected to the side of the pallet 16 away from the positioning rod 12. A round rod 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the round tube 20. When the pallet 16 moves, it will drive the round tube 20 to move along the round rod 21, ensuring that the pallet 16 can make linear motion and ensuring the stability of the pallet 16 when it moves.

[0018] In this utility model, the two round rods 21 are fixedly connected to the same fixing plate 22.

[0019] In this utility model, a motor 23 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 22 on the side away from the round rod 21. The output end of the motor 23 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 18 through a coupling. The fixed plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 1.

[0020] In this utility model, the U-shaped frame 1 is fixedly connected to the bucket elevator 24.

[0021] Working principle: When in use, an external power supply is used. The motor 23 is started using the external controller. The output of the motor 23 drives the coupling to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting screw 18 to rotate. The adjusting screw 18 then moves the screw nut 19, which in turn moves the cylinder 17. The cylinder 17 then moves the support plate 16, which in turn supports the receiving hopper 14, thus adjusting its position to ensure precise alignment with the U-shaped frame 1 and adaptability to different working conditions. At 2 PM, the positioning cylinder 13 is placed on the positioning rod 12 for positioning. Then, both the positioning cylinder 13 and the receiving hopper 14 are brought into contact with the support plate 16. The adjusting screw 18 is rotated, causing the support plate 16 to descend. The support plate 16 then moves the limiting sleeve 10, which in turn moves the guide rod 8. The guide rod 8 then moves the moving plate 5, which in turn moves the pin 6. The moving plate 5 also moves the fixed seat 4, which in turn moves the roller 3. The roller 3 then contacts the inclined surface of the guide plate 2 and continues to move. This allows the two rollers 3 to move closer together a certain distance, which in turn allows the two pins 6 to move closer together a certain distance. After the receiving hopper 14 is positioned, the pins 6 and sleeves 15 are coaxial and move synchronously. The two pins 6 move closer together, and when the rollers 3 move to the straight surface of the guide plate 2, the pins 6 insert into the sleeves 15, thus restricting the receiving hopper 14 and installing it. The receiving hopper 14 can continue to move to adjust its position. When the guide rod 8 moves, the guide rod 8 will move the sleeve 9, and the sleeve 9 will compress the spring 11, causing the spring 11 to contract. When the receiving hopper 14 needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement, the receiving hopper 14 will be raised, which will raise the roller 3. When the roller 3 moves to the inclined surface of the guide plate 2 and continues to move, the contracted spring 11 will extend, which will cause the two pins 6 to move away from each other, and the pins 6 can be removed from the sleeve 15. The positioning cylinder 13 can then be removed from the positioning rod 12, and the receiving hopper 14 can be disassembled.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
