Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material screw conveying technology, specifically a variable diameter conveying system for a cement silo with a transmission reducer. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, cement plays a vital role in modern construction engineering. It is not only the main binder of concrete, but also widely used in various structural and non-structural components due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. In the use of cement, it is stored in cement silos and then discharged for use using a screw conveyor system. Screw conveyor systems generally use belt pulley drives, which are low in operating costs, but have disadvantages such as low thermal torque and unstable conveying. Screw conveyor systems are generally composed of horizontal and vertical screws with the same screw diameter. The vertical screw has a larger outer diameter, which reduces the centrifugal force of the material. This is because the larger outer diameter increases the contact area between the material and the pipe wall, dispersing the friction and thus weakening the conveying effect of cement.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of teeth of gear two is less than the number of teeth of gear three, and the number of teeth of gear four is less than the number of teeth of gear one, which allows for two-stage speed reduction.
[0010] Furthermore, both the left end of the first horizontal conveying pipe and the right end of the second horizontal conveying pipe are provided with flanges, and the two flanges are fixedly connected by bolts, which facilitates the disassembly of the first horizontal conveying pipe and the second horizontal conveying pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the vertical conveying pipe has a downwardly inclined discharge pipe at the upper end of the discharge port, and the horizontal conveying pipe has a connecting pipe at the right end of the outer arc surface of the horizontal conveying pipe to facilitate the flow of materials.
[0012] Furthermore, two support seats are provided on the outer arc surfaces of both the first and second horizontal conveying pipes to facilitate the fixing of the first and second horizontal conveying pipes.
