Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip collection and conveying technology, and in particular to a novel chain plate chip conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] Chain plate chip conveyors are specialized equipment for conveying industrial waste. They adopt a chain-driven chain plate structure and can efficiently handle waste such as metal cutting chips and scrap. They are especially suitable for environments containing coolant or harsh working conditions. The chain plates are made of stainless steel and carbon steel, and the surface convex design reduces chip adhesion. They have overload protection and torque limiting functions, and operate stably and reliably. They are widely used in CNC machine tools, machining centers, and steel, automobile manufacturing and other fields. The long, curled chips generated during metal cutting are prone to entanglement and agglomeration. These agglomerated chips are not only large in size, causing obstruction and jamming of the chain plate, and even causing equipment overload and shutdown, but also cause wear on the chain plate and track due to chip accumulation, increasing maintenance costs and seriously affecting chip removal efficiency and production continuity. Therefore, this utility model proposes a new type of chain plate chip conveyor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A novel chain plate chip conveyor includes a conveyor belt, a lifting belt, a hinged arm, a hopper, and a discharge valve. The lifting belt is installed on the right side of the conveyor belt, and the top of the lifting belt is hinged to the hopper through the hinged arm. The bottom end of the hopper is connected to the discharge valve. Multiple chain plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and a feed hopper is fixedly connected to the left side of the conveyor belt. The feed hopper is equipped with a material distribution mechanism.
[0005] A further improvement is made in that: the material distribution mechanism includes crushing rollers, a rotating air chamber, a blower, an air supply pipe, an air jet pipe, and a pressure boosting valve. Multiple crushing rollers are equidistantly rotatably connected inside the feed hopper. A rotating air chamber is fixedly connected to the left side of the feed hopper. Multiple air jet pipes are connected to the bottom of the rotating air chamber. The bottom end of the air jet pipe is connected to the bottom of the left side of the feed hopper. A pressure boosting valve is installed on the air jet pipe. A blower is provided on the left side of the conveyor belt. The output end of the blower is connected to the inside of the rotating air chamber through the air supply pipe.
[0006] A further improvement is that multiple crushing blades are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer side of the crushing roller, the positions of the crushing blades of adjacent crushing rollers are staggered, and a rotating mechanism is provided on the outer side of the feed hopper.
[0007] A further improvement is that the rotating mechanism includes a sprocket, a chain, and a rotary motor. One end of each crushing roller extends through the interior of the feed hopper and is fixedly connected to a sprocket. Multiple sprockets are interconnected by a chain. A rotary motor is installed on the side of the feed hopper away from the sprocket, and the output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the other end of one of the crushing rollers.
[0008] A further improvement is that a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the hopper, and a vibration motor is detachably connected to the mounting frame via connecting bolts.
[0009] A further improvement is that: the bottom of the lifting belt is symmetrically hinged with cylinders, the output end of the cylinders is fixedly installed with shock absorbers, and the tops of the two shock absorbers are respectively hinged to the two sides of the hopper.
[0010] A further improvement is that a connector is provided on the side of the conveyor belt and the lifting belt adjacent to each other, and connecting holes are provided on both sides of the connector. Fixing bolts are inserted into the connecting holes, and the two sides of the connector are fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor belt and the lifting belt adjacent to each other by fixing bolts.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the chips enter the inside of the feed hopper, they are first cut by multiple rotating crushing rollers. The blower delivers air into the air chamber through the air supply pipe. The air chamber delivers air to the bottom of the feed hopper through the jet pipe. The pressure booster valve can pressurize the air. Multiple jet pipes spray multiple streams of air at equal intervals onto the chips, which are then dispersed on the conveyor belt at the bottom of the feed hopper, resulting in uniform cutting and feeding. This solves the problem in the prior art where long and curled chips easily entangle and clump together, causing equipment jamming and shutdown, wear on parts, and affecting chip removal and production.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0015] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a novel chain plate chip conveyor, including a conveyor belt 1, a lifting belt 2, a hinged arm 3, a discharge hopper 4, and a discharge valve 5. The lifting belt 2 is installed on the right side of the conveyor belt 1, and the top of the lifting belt 2 is hinged to the discharge hopper 4 through the hinged arm 3. The bottom end of the discharge hopper 4 is connected to the discharge valve 5. Multiple chain plates 15 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the conveyor belt 1. The feed hopper 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the conveyor belt 1. The feed hopper 6 is equipped with a distribution mechanism to pour the chips into the interior of the feed hopper 6. The distribution mechanism on the feed hopper 6 evenly disperses the chips on the left side of the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 drives the chips to move through the chain plates 15. The chips move from the conveyor belt 1 to the interior of the lifting belt 2. The lifting belt 2 drives the chippers to move upward. The chips fall through the lifting belt 2 into the interior of the discharge hopper 4. The discharge hopper 4 discharges the chips through the discharge valve 5 and controls the discharge amount.
[0016] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism includes crushing rollers 7, a rotating air chamber 8, a blower 9, an air supply pipe 10, an air jet pipe 11, and a pressure boosting valve 12. Multiple crushing rollers 7 are rotatably connected at equal intervals inside the feed hopper 6. The rotating air chamber 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the feed hopper 6. Multiple air jet pipes 11 are connected to the bottom of the rotating air chamber 8. The bottom end of each air jet pipe 11 is connected to the bottom of the left side of the feed hopper 6. A pressure boosting valve 12 is installed on each air jet pipe 11. A blower 9 is located on the left side of the conveyor belt 1. The output end of the blower 9 is connected to the interior of the rotating air chamber 8 through the air supply pipe 10. The chips enter... Inside the feed hopper 6, the chips are first cut by multiple rotating crushing rollers 7. The blower 9 delivers air into the air chamber 8 through the air pipe 10. The air chamber 8 delivers air to the bottom of the feed hopper 6 through the jet pipe 11. The pressure boosting valve 12 can pressurize the air. Multiple jet pipes 11 spray multiple streams of air at equal intervals onto the chips, which are then dispersed on the conveyor belt 1 at the bottom of the feed hopper 6, resulting in uniform cutting and feeding. This solves the problem in the prior art where long and curled chips easily entangle and clump together, causing equipment jamming and shutdown, wear on parts, and affecting chip removal and production.
[0017] In this embodiment, multiple crushing blades are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer side of the crushing roller 7. The positions of the crushing blades of adjacent crushing rollers 7 are staggered. A rotating mechanism is provided on the outer side of the feed hopper 6. The rotating mechanism includes a sprocket 13, a chain 14, and a rotary motor 19. One end of each crushing roller 7 extends through the interior of the feed hopper 6 and is fixedly connected to a sprocket 13. Multiple sprockets 13 are interconnected by a chain 14. A rotary motor 19 is installed on the side of the feed hopper 6 away from the sprocket 13. The output end of the rotary motor 19 is fixedly connected to the other end of one of the crushing rollers 7. The output end of the rotary motor 19 can drive one of the crushing rollers 7 to rotate inside the feed hopper 6. Multiple crushing rollers 7 are interconnected by sprockets 13 and chains 14. The rotary motor 19 can synchronously drive multiple crushing rollers 7 to rotate inside the feed hopper 6. When the crushing blades on the outer side of the crushing rollers 7, which are staggered, come into contact with the chips, they will automatically cut them off, thus separating the tangled chips for the first time.
[0018] In this embodiment, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the feeding hopper 4. A vibration motor 18 is detachably connected to the mounting frame via connecting bolts. The vibration motor 18 drives the eccentric block to rotate at high speed through the motor, converting electrical energy into controllable mechanical vibration, which is then transmitted to the inside of the feeding hopper 4 to assist the downward discharge of chips inside the feeding hopper 4, making the chip discharge process smoother.
[0019] In this embodiment, cylinders 16 are symmetrically hinged to the bottom of the lifting belt 2, and shock absorbers 17 are fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinders 16. The top ends of the two shock absorbers 17 are respectively hinged to the two sides of the hopper 4. The shock absorbers 17 absorb and buffer external impact forces or vibration energy through the elastic deformation of the spring, and at the same time use damping materials such as rubber and hydraulic oil to consume vibration energy, avoiding repeated oscillation of the spring. Its structure is simple, has a good shock absorption effect, stabilizes the amplitude and reduces noise.
[0020] In this embodiment, a connector is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 1 adjacent to the lifting belt 2. The connector has connecting holes on both sides, and fixing bolts are inserted into the connecting holes. The two sides of the connector are fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor belt 1 and the lifting belt 2 adjacent to each other by fixing bolts.
[0021] In this chain plate chip conveyor, when the chips enter the inside of the feed hopper 6, they are first cut by multiple rotating crushing rollers 7. The blower 9 delivers air into the air transfer chamber 8 through the air supply pipe 10. The air transfer chamber 8 delivers air to the bottom of the feed hopper 6 through the jet pipe 11. The pressure boosting valve 12 can pressurize the air. Multiple jet pipes 11 spray multiple streams of air at equal intervals toward the chips, so as to disperse them on the conveyor belt 1 at the bottom of the feed hopper 6, so as to make the cutting uniform and feeding. This solves the problem in the prior art that long and curled chips are easy to entangle and clump together, causing equipment jamming and shutdown, wear parts, and affecting chip removal and production.
