Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a hopper for pouring refractory materials. Background Technology
[0002] In pile foundation construction, the conventional construction method in some areas involves drilling holes manually or mechanically, and then using ordinary concrete pouring technology or underwater concrete pouring technology to complete the bridge pile foundation construction. After the pile foundation hole is formed, a pile foundation guide pipe is installed in the pile foundation hole for positioning. Finally, the concrete mixture from the concrete mixer truck is guided into the pile foundation guide pipe through the hopper, and then poured into the pile foundation hole through the pile foundation guide pipe to form the pile foundation structure.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number "CN210395358U" discloses a concrete pouring hopper for pile foundations. By setting a filter device on the hopper, it is possible to prevent the hopper from being blocked by foreign objects, thereby improving the pouring efficiency and ensuring the quality of the pile foundation.
[0004] However, in the aforementioned patents, without moving the hopper, the hopper can only pour in one place, causing the refractory material to accumulate in one spot and not be poured evenly. Workers also need to smooth it out, which is inconvenient to use. Therefore, we propose a hopper for refractory material construction. Utility Model Content
[0005] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is that, without moving the hopper, the hopper only pours material into one place, causing the material to accumulate in one spot and preventing even pouring. Workers then need to smooth it out, which is inconvenient to use.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a material feeding hopper for castable refractory construction, comprising: a material feeding hopper and two frames; A material control unit installed inside the hopper; Translation unit installed on the surface of the hopper; A movable unit installed at the bottom of the frame; The translation unit includes a second motor mounted on the surface of the frame, a threaded rod mounted on the output end of the second motor, a threaded cylinder threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, a slide rail mounted on the surface of the frame, a slider slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail, and two connecting rods welded to the surfaces of the threaded cylinder and the slider.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the hopper is welded with a connecting plate, and the threaded cylinder and the slider are welded to the connecting plate via connecting rods.
[0008] Preferably, the material control unit includes a first motor mounted on the surface of the hopper, a rotating shaft mounted on the output end of the first motor, and a propeller spirally mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the moving unit includes four cylinders, which are installed in pairs at the bottom of two frames, and omnidirectional wheels are installed at the bottom of the four cylinders.
[0010] Preferably, each of the four cylinders has an electric push rod installed at its bottom, and a fixing plate is installed at one end of the electric push rod.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the hopper is provided with a discharge port.
[0012] Preferably, the slide rail and the threaded rod are respectively installed on the surfaces of the two frames.
[0013] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: By setting up a translation unit, a second motor, a threaded rod and a threaded cylinder, and cooperating with a slide rail, a slider and a connecting rod, the hopper can move smoothly for pouring, pouring the material to the required area, avoiding the accumulation of material and ensuring even pouring, which would otherwise require workers to smooth it out, thus improving the practicality of the device. By setting up a material control unit, which includes a first motor, a rotating shaft, and a propeller, the material inside the hopper can be rotated to ensure smooth material discharge, thereby changing the discharge speed and preventing the material from clogging the discharge port.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hopper for casting refractory construction, comprising: a hopper 1 and two frames 4; A material control unit installed inside the hopper 1; Translation unit installed on the surface of hopper 1; The movable unit installed at the bottom of the frame 4 has a discharge port 102 at the bottom of the hopper 1.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 The translation unit includes a second motor 3, which is mounted on the surface of the frame 4; a threaded rod 301 mounted on the output end of the second motor 3; a threaded cylinder 302 threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 301; a slide rail 304 mounted on the surface of the frame 4; a slider 305 slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 304; two connecting rods 303 welded to the surfaces of the threaded cylinder 302 and the slider 305; a connecting plate 101 welded to the surface of the hopper 1; the threaded cylinder 302 and the slider 305 are respectively welded to the connecting plate 101 through the connecting rods 303; and the slide rail 304 and the threaded rod 301 are respectively mounted on the surfaces of the two frames 4.
[0019] Through the above technical solution, the second motor 3 drives the threaded rod 301 to rotate, causing the threaded cylinder 302 to move. In conjunction with the slide rail 304, the slider 305, and the connecting rod 303, the hopper 1 is moved, which facilitates the movement of the hopper 1 and avoids pouring in only one place, thus preventing the material from accumulating.
[0020] Please see Figures 2-3 The material control unit includes a first motor 2, which is mounted on the surface of the hopper 1, a rotating shaft 201 mounted on the output end of the first motor 2, and a propeller 202 mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 201.
[0021] Through the above technical solution, the first motor 2 causes the rotating shaft 201 to rotate, which in turn causes the propeller 202 to rotate. When the propeller 202 rotates, it drives the material inside the hopper 1 to rotate, so that the material can be discharged smoothly, thereby changing the discharge speed and preventing the material from clogging the discharge port 102.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4The moving unit includes four cylinders 5, which are installed in pairs at the bottom of two frames 4. Universal wheels 501 are installed at the bottom of the four cylinders 5. Electric push rods 502 are installed at the bottom of the four cylinders 5 respectively, and a fixing plate 503 is installed at one end of the electric push rod 502.
[0023] Using the above technical solution, the device is moved to the appropriate location for pouring by the caster wheel 501, and then the fixing plate 503 is moved by the electric push rod 502 to make the fixing plate 503 contact the ground and fix the device.
[0024] All electrical devices in this invention are powered by an external power source; Working principle and usage process: The device is moved to the appropriate location for pouring using the casters 501. Then, the fixed plate 503 is moved by the electric push rod 502 to contact the ground and fix the device. The pouring material enters the hopper 1. The first motor 2 rotates the shaft 201, which in turn rotates the propeller 202. When the propeller 202 rotates, it drives the pouring material inside the hopper 1 to rotate, allowing it to flow smoothly and thus changing the pouring speed to prevent the pouring material from clogging the discharge port 102. The second motor 3 then drives the threaded rod 301 to rotate, causing the threaded cylinder 302 to move. With the help of the slide rail 304, slider 305, and connecting rod 303, the hopper 1 can be moved, making it easy to move the position of the hopper 1 and avoiding the accumulation of pouring material in one place, which would require workers to smooth it out.
