Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of granulator technology, and in particular to a split hopper for a granulator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, plastic granules are produced through a granulation machine. Mixed raw materials are poured into the hopper of the granulator, where they are granulated to form plastic granules. Most granulators currently use a single, integrated hopper. When the granulator needs to produce another type of plastic granule, residual raw materials in the hopper must be collected and the inner wall of the hopper cleaned to prevent mixing of different types of materials and affecting the composition of the plastic granules. Because the current hoppers are not detachable, and due to their height and the limited reach of the operator's hand, it is difficult to scoop out the raw materials from the bottom of the hopper. Cleaning the inner wall of the hopper bottom is also difficult, causing inconvenience to production. Utility Model Content

[0004] Preferably, the rocker arm assembly includes a first link and a second link, one end of the first link and the second link are connected and form a V-shape, and the connection between the first link and the second link is rotatably connected to the support rod via a first pivot.

[0005] Preferably, the end of the first connecting rod away from the second connecting rod is connected to the driving end of the driving assembly, and the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod is connected to the feeding hopper.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting block is provided on one side of the top of the hopper, and the connecting block has a waist-shaped groove through it, and the end of the second connecting rod is connected to the waist-shaped groove.

[0013] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them.

[0014] Example

[0015] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a split-type hopper for a granulator, such as... Figure 1-2As shown, the system includes a base 10, which is mounted on the granulator. A feed hopper 20 is fixed on the base 10. The feed hopper 20 is hinged to the top of an upper feed hopper 30. A support rod 50 is mounted on the base 10 on one side of the feed hopper 20. A drive assembly 40 is mounted on the side of the support rod 50 away from the feed hopper 20. A swing arm assembly 60 is pivotally connected to the support rod 50. One end of the swing arm assembly 60 is pivotally connected to one side of the upper feed hopper 30, and the other end is pivotally connected to the drive end of the drive assembly 40. The drive assembly 40 can drive the swing arm assembly 60 to rotate, which in turn causes the upper feed hopper 30 to rotate relative to the feed hopper 20, thus separating the upper feed hopper 30 and the feed hopper 20. This facilitates the cleaning and wiping of the bottom inner wall of the upper feed hopper 30 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 20, thereby simplifying the cleaning operation of the hoppers.

[0016] Specifically, the swing arm assembly 60 includes a first connecting rod 61 and a second connecting rod 62. One end of the first connecting rod 61 and the second connecting rod 62 are connected and form a V-shape. The connection between the first connecting rod 61 and the second connecting rod 62 is rotatably connected to the support rod 50 via a first rotating shaft 63. The first connecting rod 61 and the second connecting rod 62 are driven to rotate around the first rotating shaft 63 by the drive assembly 40, thereby causing the second connecting rod 62 to drive the feeding hopper 30 to rotate, thus opening the feeding hopper 30.

[0017] Furthermore, the end of the first connecting rod 61 furthest from the second connecting rod 62 is connected to the driving end of the drive assembly 40, and the end of the second connecting rod 62 furthest from the first connecting rod 61 is connected to the feeding hopper 30. For example, the drive assembly 40 is a cylinder, with its extension / retraction end connected to the first connecting rod 61. The cylinder drives the first connecting rod 61 and the second connecting rod 62 to rotate, and the second connecting rod 62 drives the feeding hopper 30 to rotate, thereby achieving the separation of the feeding hopper 30 and the discharging hopper 20. After cleaning, the drive assembly 40 drives the first connecting rod 61 and the second connecting rod 62 to rotate towards the discharging hopper 20, so that the bottom of the feeding hopper 30 abuts against the top of the discharging hopper 20, allowing raw materials to be subsequently conveyed into the hopper.

[0018] In the above scheme, a connecting block 31 is provided on one side of the top of the feeding hopper 30. The connecting block 31 has a through-hole groove 32. The end of the second connecting rod 62 is connected to the through-hole groove 32. For example, the end of the second connecting rod 62 has a rotating shaft passing through the through-hole groove 32 of the connecting block 31, so that the rotating shaft can slide in the through-hole groove 32. A hinge block 21 is provided on one side of the top of the discharging hopper 20. The discharging hopper 20 is hinged to the feeding hopper 30 through the hinge block 21, so that the discharging hopper 20 and the feeding hopper 30 can rotate relative to each other.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting plate 70 is provided on the base 10, and a second rotating shaft 71 is connected to the bottom of the drive assembly 40. The drive assembly 40 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 70 via the second rotating shaft 71, thereby allowing the drive assembly 40 to adapt to the swing of the swing arm assembly 60 and improving the adaptability of the overall structural movement. In some other embodiments, the drive assembly 40 can also be fixed to the mounting plate 70, and the installation method can be selected according to actual needs.

[0020] In the above scheme, mounting holes are provided in the base 10, so that the base 10 can be detachably installed on the granulator. At the same time, the hopper, support rod and drive assembly 40 are all installed on the base 10, so that the hopper can be completely disassembled and replaced on other granulators, and can be adjusted according to actual production.

[0021] In summary, this application's solution involves mounting a base on a granulator, fixing a discharge hopper to the base, and hinged a discharge hopper to the top of an upper hopper. A support rod is positioned on the base near one side of the discharge hopper, and a drive assembly is located on the side of the support rod away from the discharge hopper. A swing arm assembly is pivotally connected to the support rod, with one end of the swing arm assembly pivotally connected to one side of the upper hopper and the other end pivotally connected to the drive end of the drive assembly. The drive assembly can then drive the swing arm assembly to rotate, which in turn causes the upper hopper to rotate relative to the discharge hopper, separating the upper and lower hoppers. This facilitates the cleaning and wiping of the bottom inner wall of the upper hopper and the inner wall of the discharge hopper, thus simplifying the hopper cleaning process.

[0022] The embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above embodiments should be included within the scope of protection of this technical solution.
