It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a material feeding hatch opening and closing device, including a frame 10, a hatch 20, a clutch mechanism 30, a driver 40, and at least one transmission mechanism 50; the hatch 20 is movably disposed within the frame 10; the clutch mechanism 30 includes a housing 31, a gear shaft 32, a gear coupling 33, and a clutch gear 34. The housing 31 has opposing first side plates 311 and second side plates 312, each with a first through hole, and the first side plate 311 with a second through hole. The gear shaft 32, the gear coupling 33, and the clutch gear 34 are all disposed within the housing 31, with both ends of the gear shaft 32 passing through the two first through holes and exposed outside the housing 31. The clutch gear 34 is located between the gear shaft 32 and the clutch gear 34; the driver 40 is mounted on the housing 31, and the output end of the driver 40 passes through the second through hole and is connected to the gear coupling 33; at least one transmission mechanism 50 has a transmission input end and a transmission output end, the transmission input end is connected to one end of the gear shaft 32, and the transmission output end is connected to the hatch 20; the clutch gear 34 has a first position and a second position. When the clutch gear 34 is in the first position, the clutch gear 34 meshes with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33, and the driver 40 is connected to the transmission input end; when the clutch gear 34 is in the second position, the clutch gear 34 does not mesh with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33, and the driver 40 is separated from the transmission input end.

[0025] The instruction manual requires that the first position refers to the position where the clutch gear 34 is simultaneously engaged with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33, and the second position refers to the position where the clutch gear 34 is disengaged from the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33.

[0026] For example, the driver 40 can be a motor, etc.

[0027] According to this embodiment, when the clutch gear 34 is in the first position, the clutch gear 34 meshes simultaneously with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33. The power of the driver 40 is transmitted to the gear shaft 32 through the gear coupling 33 and the clutch gear 34, thereby driving the transmission mechanism 50 to control the opening and closing of the hatch 20, realizing electric operation. When the clutch gear 34 is in the second position, the clutch gear 34 disengages from the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33, and the driver 40 is separated from the transmission input end. At this time, the hatch 20 can be operated manually, avoiding the problem of the hatch 20 being unable to open due to power failure, thereby improving the emergency reliability and practicality of the hatch 20.

[0028] Reference Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the clutch mechanism 30 includes a drive assembly 35 connected to a clutch gear 34.

[0029] According to this embodiment, the drive assembly 35 controls the engagement or disengagement of the clutch gear 34 with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33 to achieve rapid switching of power transmission.

[0030] Reference Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second side plate 312 has a third through hole corresponding to the clutch gear 34. The drive assembly 35 includes a first moving shaft 351, an elastic element 352, and a pull rope 353. The first moving shaft 351 is disposed inside the housing 31. The clutch gear 34 and the elastic element 352 are sequentially sleeved on the first moving shaft 351 facing the second side plate 312. One end of the elastic element 352 abuts against the clutch gear 34, and the other end of the elastic element 352 abuts against the second side plate 312. One end of the first moving shaft 351 passes through the third through hole and is exposed outside the housing 31. One end of the pull rope 353 is connected to one end of the first moving shaft 351.

[0031] For example, the elastic element 352 can be a spring or an elastic rubber ring, etc.

[0032] According to this embodiment, pulling the pull rope 353 moves the first moving shaft 351, and the elastic element 352 compresses the second side plate 312, causing the clutch gear 34 to disengage. After releasing the pull rope 353, the elastic element 352 returns to its original shape, pushing the clutch gear 34 back to its original position. This facilitates remote or manual control, improving operational flexibility and safety.

[0033] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 35 includes a locking element 354 mounted on the frame 10 and connected to the other end of the pull rope 353.

[0034] According to this embodiment, the locking member 354 can restrict the movement of the first moving shaft 351 to prevent the clutch gear 34 from resetting and engaging with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33.

[0035] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking member 354 includes a second moving shaft 3541 and a bushing 3542. The second moving shaft 3541 is provided with at least one limiting protrusion 35411. The bushing 3542 is sleeved on the second moving shaft 3541 and mounted on the frame 10. At least one first limiting groove 35421 and at least one second limiting groove 35422 are provided at the end of the bushing 3542 away from the housing 31. The axis of the second limiting groove 35422 forms an angle with the axis of the first limiting groove 35421. The depth of the second limiting groove 35422 is less than the depth of the first limiting groove 35421. When the clutch gear 34 is in the first position, the limiting protrusion 35411 is engaged in the first limiting groove 35421. When the clutch gear 34 is in the second position, the limiting protrusion 35411 is engaged in the second limiting groove 35422.

[0036] According to this embodiment, by rotating the second moving shaft 3541, the limiting protrusion 35411 can be engaged into different limiting slots to achieve mechanical locking of the position of the clutch gear 34, and different modes can be achieved in conjunction with the clutch gear 34.

[0037] For example, when the limiting protrusion 35411 is engaged in the first limiting groove 35421, the clutch gear 34 meshes with the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33 simultaneously; when the limiting protrusion 35411 is engaged in the second limiting groove 35422, the clutch gear 34 disengages from the gear shaft 32 and the gear coupling 33.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the clutch mechanism 30 includes a handle 3543, which is located at the other end of the second moving shaft 3541.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the handle 3543 is easy to operate manually, which improves the ease of use of the locking element 354.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 50 includes a transmission shaft 51 and a transmission assembly 52. ​​One end of the transmission shaft 51 serves as a transmission input end, the input end of the transmission assembly 52 is connected to the other end of the transmission shaft 51, and the output end of the transmission assembly 52 serves as a transmission output end.

[0041] For example, the transmission assembly 52 can be a lead screw drive assembly 52 or a chain drive assembly 52, etc.; when the transmission assembly 52 is a lead screw drive assembly 52, the transmission shaft 51 and the lead screw of the lead screw drive assembly 52 can be connected by two bevel gears.

[0042] According to this embodiment, the clutch mechanism 30 drives the drive shaft 51 to rotate, transmitting power to the transmission assembly 52, which in turn drives the hatch 20 to move.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, there are two hatches 20 and two transmission assemblies 52. The two hatches 20 are arranged opposite each other along the length of the frame 10. The transmission assembly 52 is a belt drive assembly 52. ​​The output ends of the two belt drive assemblies 52 can move towards each other or away from each other along the length of the frame 10. The output ends of the two belt drive assemblies 52 are connected to the two hatches 20 one to one. The two belt drive assemblies 52 share a common shaft.

[0044] For example, assume that the synchronous belt 522 of each belt drive assembly 52 is divided into upper and lower sections, namely, an upper drive section and a lower drive section. In the belt drive assembly 52 connected to the drive shaft 51, the connector 523 is installed in the upper drive section; in the belt drive assembly 52 not connected to the drive shaft 51, the connector 523 is installed in the lower drive section. Assume that the two synchronous belt pulleys 522 of each belt drive assembly 52 are named the input pulley and the output pulley. The input pulley of the belt drive assembly 52 connected to the drive shaft 51 is sleeved on the drive shaft 51. The output pulley of the belt drive assembly 52 connected to the drive shaft 51 and the input pulley of the belt drive assembly 52 not connected to the drive shaft 51 share a common shaft. The output pulley of the belt drive assembly 52 not connected to the drive shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the frame 10.

[0045] According to this embodiment, the double-door design 20 can increase the opening area and adapt to different deployment needs. When the drive shaft 51 transmits power to the two belt drive assemblies 52, the two belt drive assemblies 52 drive their respective connected doors 20 to move towards or away from each other, realizing the opening and closing of the doors 20. Furthermore, the coaxial design of the two belt drive assemblies 52 can simplify the structure and improve the synchronization of the door 20 operation.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one pair of sliding components 60 are included, each pair of sliding components 60 being symmetrically arranged about a defined axis as the axis of symmetry, and the hatch 20 is connected to the frame 10 through at least one pair of sliding components 60.

[0047] For example, the frame 10 is formed by two guide rails 11 and two support beams 12, and the sliding assembly 60 can be a slider or the like.

[0048] According to this embodiment, the sliding assembly 60 ensures that the hatch 20 moves smoothly during opening and closing, reducing friction and jamming, and improving operational reliability.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 10 is formed by two guide rails 11 and two support beams 12, and the sliding assembly 60 includes a roller 61 and a mounting member 62. The roller 61 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 62 and rolls with the guide rails 11. The mounting member 62 is connected to the hatch 20.

[0050] According to this embodiment, the cooperation between the guide rail 11 and the roller 61 enables the smooth sliding of the hatch 20 to reduce friction.
