Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ash sorting equipment, specifically to an end cap mechanism for an aluminum ash sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum ash is a byproduct of aluminum smelting and processing, containing a certain amount of metallic aluminum and compounds, and needs to be effectively recovered through a separator. During operation, the end cover mechanism of the aluminum ash separator needs to be frequently opened and closed to meet the needs of ash cleaning, maintenance, and material discharge. However, the existing end cover structure of the separator has the following significant defects:

[0003] 1. Complex opening and closing operation: Traditional end caps mostly adopt an integral or single rotating design. An integral end cap requires complete disassembly to open, which is cumbersome and time-consuming; although a single rotating end cap can rotate around an axis, the opening angle is limited in narrow spaces, affecting maintenance and dust removal efficiency.

[0004] 2. Lack of dust removal function: Aluminum ash easily accumulates on the inner wall of the end cylinder. The existing end cover mechanism only performs the sealing function and cannot simultaneously clean the ash on the inner wall during opening and closing. It requires additional machine shutdown for manual knocking and cleaning, resulting in reduced equipment utilization.

[0005] 3. Redundancy in drive structure: If a double-opening end cap design is adopted, each half cap usually needs to be equipped with an independent drive mechanism (such as a cylinder or motor), which leads to complex structure, increased cost, and difficulty in ensuring synchronization. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an end cover mechanism for an aluminum ash sorting machine. It can realize the synchronous opening and closing of two semi-circular end covers through a single drive source, and automatically complete the knocking and ash removal of the inner wall of the end cylinder during the opening and closing process.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an end cover mechanism for an aluminum ash sorting machine, including an end cylinder, one end of which is connected to the sorting machine, and the other end is provided with an openable end cover, the end cover being two openable semi-circular covers, a rectangular fixing frame being sleeved on the end cylinder, a single drive transmission component for controlling the opening and closing of the end cover being provided between the rectangular fixing frame and the end cover, and a knocker that moves with the single drive transmission component being provided inside the end cylinder.

[0008] As an improvement, the top of the semi-circular cover on one side of the end cap is provided with symmetrical extension frames. Each of the two extension frames is provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The top two sides of the rectangular fixing frame are provided with a third rotating shaft and a shaft hole leading to the inner cavity of the end cylinder. A first connecting rod is rotatably connected between the first rotating shaft and the third rotating shaft on the same side, and a second connecting rod is rotatably connected between the second rotating shaft and the shaft hole on the same side.

[0009] As an improvement, the two second connecting rods are provided with sector-shaped racks on one side, the two sector-shaped racks mesh with each other, and the center of the two sector-shaped racks is located in the shaft hole.

[0010] As an improvement, the second connecting rod is parallel to the first connecting rod.

[0011] As an improvement, the striker includes a connecting shaft rotatably connected to the shaft hole, the top of the connecting shaft being fixedly connected to a second connecting rod, and the bottom of the connecting shaft being fixedly connected to the end of the end cylinder with a striking hammer.

[0012] As an improvement, the striking hammer is L-shaped and extends from the inner wall of the connecting axial end cylinder.

[0013] As an improvement, the inner wall of the end cylinder is provided with two bushings for stabilizing the two connecting shafts.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0015] 1. Through the coordinated action of a single drive transmission component and a meshing sector rack, only one external drive source is needed to synchronously control the opening and closing of the two semi-circular covers. Compared with the traditional dual-drive design, this significantly simplifies the drive structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and completely solves the problem of asynchronous movement of the two covers, ensuring precise coordination of opening and closing actions.

[0016] 2. The impactor is linked to a single-drive transmission assembly: When the end cover is opened or closed, the swing of the second connecting rod drives the L-shaped impact hammer to strike the inner wall of the end cylinder via the connecting shaft. This structure automatically completes the mechanical impact during the opening and closing process, effectively breaking up the plated aluminum ash, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional equipment that requires manual cleaning by stopping the machine, greatly reducing maintenance time, and improving the continuous operation efficiency of the sorting machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 :

[0024] An end cover mechanism for an aluminum ash sorting machine includes an end cylinder 1. One end of the end cylinder 1 is connected to the sorting machine, and the other end is provided with an openable end cover 3. The end cover 3 consists of two semi-circular covers that can be opened apart. A rectangular fixing frame 2 is fitted over the end cylinder 1. A single-drive transmission assembly 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the end cover 3 is provided between the rectangular fixing frame 2 and the end cover 3. Symmetrical extension frames 31 are provided on the top of each of the semi-circular covers on one side of the end cover 3. A first rotating shaft 32 and a second rotating shaft 33 are provided on each of the two extension frames 31. A third rotating shaft 21 and a shaft hole 22 leading to the inner cavity of the end cylinder 1 are provided on both sides of the top of the rectangular fixing frame 2. A first connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected between the first rotating shaft 32 and the third rotating shaft 21 on the same side. A second connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected between the second rotating shaft 33 and the shaft hole 22 on the same side.

[0025] Through the above structure, the extension frame 31 converts the rotational motion of the end cap 3 into planar motion: when the single drive transmission assembly 4 pushes either of the second connecting rods 42, the second rotating shaft 33 drives the extension frame 31 to translate. At this time, the first connecting rod 41 moves in an arc around the third rotating shaft 21, pulling the first rotating shaft 32 to make the two semi-circular caps translate synchronously in opposite directions, thus completing the opening and closing of the split type within a limited space. This design avoids the large swing space required by traditional rotating end caps.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 :

[0027] Two second connecting rods 42 are provided with sector-shaped racks 43 near one side. The two sector-shaped racks 43 mesh with each other, and the centers of the two sector-shaped racks 43 are located in the shaft hole 22. The second connecting rods 42 and the first connecting rod 41 are parallel to each other.

[0028] Through the above structure, the meshing sector racks 43 constitute a forced synchronization mechanism: the movement of any second connecting rod 42 is precisely transmitted to the other side through rack meshing, ensuring that the two end caps 3 move completely synchronously. At the same time, the parallel arrangement of the second connecting rod 42 and the first connecting rod 41 forms a double parallelogram mechanism, which keeps the end cap 3 in a horizontal position during opening and closing, avoiding interference with the end cylinder 1 and significantly improving the stability of the movement.

[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 :

[0030] The end cylinder 1 is provided with a striker 5 that moves with the single drive transmission assembly 4. The striker 5 includes a connecting shaft 51 that is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 22. The top of the connecting shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 42. The bottom of the connecting shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the end cylinder 1. The striking hammer 52 is L-shaped and extends from the connecting shaft 51 toward the inner wall of the end cylinder 1. The inner wall of the end cylinder 1 is provided with two bushings 11 for stabilizing the two connecting shafts 51.

[0031] Through the above structure, the swing of the second connecting rod 42 is directly converted into the rotational motion of the striking hammer 52 via the connecting shaft 51: when the end cover 3 is opened, the second connecting rod 42 drives the connecting shaft 51 to rotate, causing the L-shaped striking hammer 52 to strike the inner wall of the end cylinder 1, mechanically shaking off the slab aluminum ash. The bushing 11 constrains the radial runout of the connecting shaft 51, ensuring that the striking force is precise and controllable, realizing the integration of opening and closing operation with automatic dust removal function.

[0032] In the specific implementation of this utility model, the two semi-circular covers of the end cover 3 are in a closed state under the action of the single drive transmission component 4, and are sealed to the end cylinder 1 to ensure the normal operation of the sorting machine. At this time, the connecting shaft 51 and the hammer 52 of the knocker 5 are in the initial position and do not contact the inner wall of the end cylinder 1.

[0033] When end cover 3 needs to be opened for cleaning or maintenance, power is applied to the second connecting rod 42 on one side via an external single drive source, such as a motor (not shown in the figure). This drive source pushes the second connecting rod 42, and through the meshing of the fan-shaped rack 43, forces the second connecting rod 42 on the other side to move synchronously in the opposite direction. The translation of the second connecting rod 42 drives the extension frame 31 and the second rotating shaft 33 of end cover 3. At the same time, the first connecting rod 41 rotates around the third rotating shaft 21. The second connecting rod 42 is parallel to the first connecting rod 41, forming a parallelogram mechanism, so that the two semi-circular covers move outward synchronously and open. During the opening process, the swing of the second connecting rod 42 is transmitted to the striking hammer 52 through the connecting shaft 51. The striking hammer 52 is L-shaped and extends from the connecting shaft 51 towards the inner wall of the end cylinder 1 to mechanically scrape and strike the slab aluminum ash. The bushing 11 stabilizes the connecting shaft 51 to ensure accurate striking force.

[0034] The drive source reverses its movement, pulling the second connecting rod 42. Through the engagement of the fan-shaped rack 43, it synchronously drives the other side. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 move in tandem, causing the semi-circular cover to slide inward and close. During the closing process, the hammer 52 reverses its movement again, striking the inner wall a second time to further clean up any remaining aluminum ash.

[0035] 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.
