Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically to a concentrate conveying mechanism with adjustable flow rate. Background Technology
[0002] Screw conveyors are continuous conveying equipment widely used in industries such as chemical, food, metallurgy, and building materials. They are mainly used for horizontal or inclined conveying of powdery, granular, or small lump materials. Traditional screw conveyors typically use a constant-speed drive motor, and the material conveying rate is controlled by adjusting the motor speed or changing the screw blade pitch. However, when conveying high-viscosity or easily agglomerated concentrated materials, problems such as material blockage and uneven discharge can easily occur, affecting production efficiency.
[0003] In existing technologies, some screw conveyors adjust the flow rate by adding a manual gate at the discharge port. However, manual operation has low precision and cannot meet the requirements for accurate control. At the same time, materials tend to stick to the screw blades and the inner wall of the trough during the conveying process, resulting in a decrease in conveying efficiency and even causing equipment overload. In addition, traditional screw conveyors are difficult to maintain and clean, and the downtime for maintenance is long, affecting continuous production. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable flow rate concentrate conveying mechanism, including a screw conveyor body, an inlet, an outlet, and a drive motor. The drive motor is a variable frequency motor, and its output shaft is connected to a screw shaft through a coupling. The drive motor is fixed on an adjustable base. A guide rail is welded to the inner side of the outlet, and a gate is slidably installed on the guide rail. One end of the gate is connected to an electric push rod, and the electric push rod is fixed to the outer side of the outlet through a bracket. The front section of the screw shaft has continuous screw blades, and the rear section has spaced screw blades. The spacing between adjacent blades of the spaced screw blades is 1.5-2 times the pitch of the continuous screw blades in the front section.
[0005] Preferably, the bottom of the trough of the screw conveyor body is provided with a vibrator mounting base, and the vibrator mounting base is fixed with a vibrator motor by bolts, and the vibration direction of the vibrator motor is perpendicular to the axis of the screw shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the side wall of the screw conveyor body is provided with a rectangular cleaning port, the edge of the rectangular cleaning port is embedded with a sealing strip, and a cover plate is fixed by quick-release bolts.
[0007] Preferably, the adjustable base is an L-shaped steel plate, the horizontal section of which is connected to the end plate of the screw conveyor body by bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the blade edges of the spaced spiral blades are covered with a polyurethane wear-resistant layer.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] The conveying speed is precisely adjusted by using a variable frequency motor and an adjustable base. The combination of continuous spiral blades at the front and spaced spiral blades at the rear ensures conveying efficiency while reducing material compression. The discharge gate and electric push rod work together to precisely control the discharge volume, and the vibrating motor vibrates vertically to effectively prevent material accumulation. The design of the cleaning port and wear-resistant layer improves the maintainability of the equipment and the service life of key components. The overall structure combines conveying stability, anti-clogging performance, and ease of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable flow rate concentrate conveying mechanism of this embodiment includes a screw conveyor body 1, a feed inlet 2, a discharge outlet 3, and a drive motor 4. The drive motor 4 is a variable frequency motor, and its output shaft is connected to the screw shaft 6 through a coupling 5. The drive motor 4 is fixed on an adjustable base 7. A guide rail 8 is welded to the inner side of the discharge outlet 3, and a gate 9 is slidably installed on the guide rail 8. One end of the gate 9 is connected to an electric push rod 10. The electric push rod 10 is fixed to the outer side of the discharge outlet 3 through a bracket 11. The front section of the screw shaft 6 is a continuous screw blade 12, and the rear section is an intermittent screw blade 13. The spacing between adjacent blades of the intermittent screw blade 13 is 1.5-2 times the pitch of the continuous screw blade 12 in the front section.
[0016] The bottom of the trough of the screw conveyor body 1 is provided with a vibrator mounting base 14. The vibrator mounting base 14 is fixed with a vibrator motor 15 by bolts, and the vibration direction of the vibrator motor 15 is perpendicular to the axis of the screw shaft 6.
