Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of powder lifting machinery technology, specifically to a material lifting mechanism for an aluminum ash separator used for aluminum metal recycling. Background Technology
[0002] In the aluminum recycling industry, aluminum ash is an important secondary resource, which typically requires effective separation by a sorting machine to recover the metallic aluminum. The material lifting mechanism, a key component of the aluminum ash sorting machine, is mainly used to transport the aluminum ash material to be sorted from a lower position to a higher position within the sorting device. Currently, screw conveyor structures are commonly used for such material lifting mechanisms.
[0003] However, existing spiral lifting mechanisms have some shortcomings in practical applications:
[0004] 1. Inconvenient transportation and installation: Traditional screw conveyors are usually one-piece structures or fixed structures, with large volume and size, resulting in high transportation costs and numerous difficulties in installation in narrow or complex sites.
[0005] 2. Poor adaptability: The lifting height is usually fixed, making it difficult to adjust flexibly according to the actual sorting line layout or site requirements. If different lifting heights are needed, different specifications of equipment often need to be customized, increasing costs and inventory pressure.
[0006] 3. Equipment Fixing and Maintenance: The fixing method between the spiral tube assembly and the support frame may not be convenient or secure enough, making disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of parts quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a material lifting mechanism for an aluminum ash separator used for aluminum metal recycling. It adopts a modular and detachable design and has a highly adjustable, stable, and easy-to-maintain fixed structure.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a material lifting mechanism for an aluminum ash separator for aluminum metal recycling, including a spiral lifting tube assembly, an upward-facing feed hopper at the bottom end of the spiral lifting tube assembly, a motor for providing power axially connected to the bottom end of the spiral lifting tube assembly, a downward-facing discharge pipe at the top end of the spiral lifting tube assembly, a triangular expandable assembly frame below the spiral lifting tube assembly, the triangular expandable assembly frame being assembled by several pipe fittings, the triangular expandable assembly frame being a right triangle in shape, and a fixing component for installing the spiral lifting tube assembly on the triangular expandable assembly frame.
[0009] As an improvement, the spiral lifting tube assembly includes a lifting spiral rod, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, which is connected to a motor drive.
[0010] As an improvement, the lifting screw is fitted with two symmetrically distributed cylinders. Each of the two cylinders has a material inlet at one end of its outer side. The lower material inlet faces upward and is connected to the feed hopper, while the upper material inlet faces downward and is connected to the discharge pipe. Each of the two cylinders has a flange shaft near the material inlet for rotatably connecting the two ends of the lifting screw.
[0011] As an improvement, the length of the lifting screw is set according to the lifting height, and the two cylinders are spliced and connected according to the length of the lifting screw.
[0012] As an improvement, the fixing component includes an inclined fixing plate that can be detachably installed on a triangular expandable assembly frame. The inclined fixing plate is provided with a tubular fixing frame that cooperates with the cylinder. The inclined fixing plate is provided with a semi-circular pipe clamp. The tubular fixing frame is provided with two symmetrically distributed strip-shaped fixing holes. The strip-shaped fixing holes are connected to the two ends of the semi-circular pipe clamp by bolts.
[0013] As an improvement, the bottom of the triangular expandable assembly frame is provided with several evenly distributed support legs. The support legs include multiple levels of bendable rubber pads. The top of the rubber pads is provided with a spherical groove. The rubber pads are provided with support rods fixedly installed at the bottom of the triangular expandable assembly frame. The bottom of the support rods is provided with a sphere that is rotatably connected to the spherical groove.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0015] 1. Modular design for easy transportation and installation: The triangular expandable assembly frame and segmented spiral lifting pipe assembly are adopted. Through modular assembly of pipe fittings and flexible splicing of the cylinder, the overall volume of the equipment is greatly reduced, solving the problem of difficult transportation of traditional integrated structures. It is especially suitable for installation needs in narrow or complex sites.
[0016] 2. Adjustable height and strong adaptability: The length of the lifting screw can be customized according to actual needs, and the lifting height can be flexibly adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of connecting cylinder sections. There is no need to customize complete equipment of different specifications, which significantly reduces costs and inventory pressure.
[0017] 3. Stable and convenient fixing method: The fixing components adopt a combination design of inclined fixing plate, tubular fixing frame and semi-circular pipe clamp. Quick disassembly and fine angle adjustment are achieved through strip fixing holes and bolt connection. This not only ensures the stability during operation, but also facilitates the disassembly of the cylinder during maintenance without damaging the frame structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1 :
[0026] A material lifting mechanism for an aluminum ash separator used for aluminum recycling includes a spiral lifting tube assembly 2. The bottom end of the spiral lifting tube assembly 2 is provided with an upward-facing feed hopper 3. The bottom end of the spiral lifting tube assembly 2 is axially connected to a motor 5 for providing power. The top end of the spiral lifting tube assembly 2 is provided with a downward-facing discharge pipe 4. Below the spiral lifting tube assembly 2 is a triangular expandable assembly frame 1, which is assembled by several pipe fittings. The triangular expandable assembly frame 1 is generally a right triangle. The triangular expandable assembly frame 1 is provided with a fixing component 7 for installing the spiral lifting tube assembly 2.
[0027] Through the above structure, the triangular expandable assembly frame 1 adopts modular pipe assembly, solving the problem of difficult transportation of traditional integrated equipment. The stable structure of the right triangle can flexibly adjust the tilt angle, and together with the telescopic design of the spiral lifting pipe assembly 2, it can adapt to the lifting height requirements of different sites, such as increasing or decreasing the frame size or the number of cylinder sections, without the need to customize the whole machine.
[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 :
[0029] The spiral lifting pipe assembly 2 includes a lifting spiral rod 25. A connecting shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting spiral rod 25. The connecting shaft 24 is connected to the motor 5 for transmission. Two symmetrically distributed cylinders 21 are sleeved on the lifting spiral rod 25. Each cylinder 21 has a material inlet 22 at one end of its outer side. The lower material inlet 22 faces upward and is connected to the feed hopper 3. The upper material inlet 22 faces downward and is connected to the discharge pipe 4. Each cylinder 21 has a flange shaft 23 near the material inlet 22 for rotatably connecting the two ends of the lifting spiral rod 25. The length of the lifting spiral rod 25 is set according to the lifting height. The two cylinders 21 are spliced and connected according to the length of the lifting spiral rod 25.
[0030] With the above structure, the lifting screw 25 and the cylinder 21 adopt a segmented design: the flange shaft 23 achieves rotational sealing at both ends, and the middle cylinder can be spliced and extended according to the length of the screw. When it is necessary to adjust the lifting height, only the lifting screw 25 of the corresponding length needs to be replaced and the number of connecting cylinder segments increased or decreased, avoiding the cost of replacing the entire machine.
[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 :
[0032] The fixing component 7 includes an inclined fixing plate 71 that can be detachably installed on the triangular expandable assembly frame 1. The inclined fixing plate 71 is provided with a tubular fixing frame 72 that cooperates with the cylinder 21. The inclined fixing plate 71 is provided with a semi-circular pipe clamp 73. The tubular fixing frame 72 is provided with two symmetrically distributed strip-shaped fixing holes 74. The two ends of the strip-shaped fixing holes 74 and the semi-circular pipe clamp 73 are connected by bolts.
[0033] Through the above structure, the combination of the inclined fixing plate 71 and the tubular fixing bracket 72 enables quick assembly and disassembly.
[0034] Strip-shaped fixing hole 74: Allows the bolt to slide within the elongated hole, finely adjusting the installation angle of the cylinder 21;
[0035] Semi-circular pipe clamp 73: When tightened by bolts, it can accommodate cylinders 21 of different diameters, while providing radial restraint force to prevent displacement during operation.
[0036] This design allows the cylinder to be disassembled simply by loosening the bolts during maintenance, without damaging the frame structure.
[0037] Combined with appendix Figure 5 :
[0038] The bottom of the triangular expandable assembly frame 1 is provided with several evenly distributed support legs 6. Each support leg 6 includes multiple bendable rubber pads 62. The top of the rubber pads 62 is provided with a spherical groove 63. The rubber pads 62 are provided with support rods 61 fixedly installed on the bottom of the triangular expandable assembly frame 1. The bottom of the support rods 61 is provided with a sphere 64 that is rotatably connected to the spherical groove 63.
[0039] Through the above structure, the ball 64 at the bottom of the support rod 61 and the spherical groove 63 of the rubber foot pad 62 form a rotating pair, allowing the support leg 6 to deflect 360°; the multi-stage bendable rubber foot pad 62 absorbs equipment vibration through deformation, and adjusts the height of each support leg by bending when the ground is uneven, ensuring stable support of the frame 1.
[0040] In practical implementation, this utility model is assembled and adjusted according to the following steps:
[0041] Transportation preparation: The triangular expandable assembly frame 1 is disassembled into pipe modules, and the spiral lifting pipe assembly 2 is disassembled in sections. The lifting spiral rod 25 and the cylinder 21 can be separated. The support leg 6 and the fixing assembly 7 are packaged separately, which greatly reduces the volume for transportation.
[0042] Frame assembly: Select the pipe length according to site requirements, assemble the triangular expandable assembly frame 1 into a right-angled triangular structure, ensuring that the angle of the hypotenuse matches the inclination of the spiral lifting pipe assembly 2. Install support legs 6 at the bottom of the frame: embed the ball 64 at the top of the support rod 61 into the spherical groove 63 of the rubber foot pad 62 to form a rotatable connection.
[0043] Leveling and fixing: The height of each support leg can be adjusted by bending the multi-stage rubber feet 62 to adapt to uneven ground. See appendix. Figure 5 The vibration of the equipment is absorbed by the deformation of the rubber.
[0044] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
