Automatic iron ore powder stacking machine

Abstract

This invention discloses an automated iron ore powder stacker, comprising a mobile vehicle with a hopper at one end and a drive assembly on the vehicle to move the hopper. The advantages of this invention are: the drive assembly rotates the hopper, and a drive motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, causing the cover plate to rotate at a certain angle. Iron ore powder then flows out between the cover plate and the hopper. The size of the gap between the cover plate and the hopper, and the angle of the hopper, can be adjusted as needed to control the speed and direction of the iron ore powder flow. After all the iron ore powder has been poured out, the drive shaft rotates the cover plate, which pushes the iron ore powder at the top of the stack to slide outwards. A drive pusher extends an extension plate, which, in conjunction with the cover plate, pushes the iron ore powder at the top of the stack outwards, increasing the stability of the stack and making the top of the stack flat, facilitating subsequent stacking operations.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron ore powder stacking technology, and in particular to an automated iron ore powder stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Iron ore powder is a mineral powder produced from iron ore (such as magnetite and hematite) through processes such as beneficiation, crushing, sorting, and grinding. It is a major raw material for the iron and steel industry and occupies an important position in the national economy.

[0003] In the production process of iron ore powder, stacking is required. In existing technologies, loaders, excavators, and bucket wheel excavators in unloading lines are typically used for stacking iron ore powder. When using a loader, the iron ore powder is loaded into the loader's hopper and then dumped out after being moved to the stacking position. However, during this process, the iron ore powder flows freely in all directions, hindering targeted stacking. Furthermore, after dumping, the iron ore powder forms a pyramid shape, resulting in a large stack height, which is detrimental to subsequent stacking operations. Therefore, an automated iron ore powder stacker is proposed as an improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an automated iron ore powder stacker to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides an automated iron ore powder stacker, including a mobile vehicle. A hopper is provided at one end of the mobile vehicle. A drive assembly capable of moving the hopper is provided on the mobile vehicle. A support plate is fixedly connected to the hopper. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate. A drive motor capable of rotating the drive shaft is provided on one side of the support plate. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the cover plate. A movable plate is movably connected within the limit frame. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate. A drive push rod capable of moving the extension plate is provided on the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the hopper has an overall V-shaped structure, and a number of shovels are provided at one end of the bottom surface of the hopper.

[0008] The above technical solution employs a mobile vehicle to move related components and iron ore powder. A hopper at its end is used to hold the iron ore powder. Its V-shaped structure facilitates the storage of the iron ore powder after it is shoveled in. A shovel plate is installed at the bottom of the hopper to facilitate the shoveling of the iron ore powder.

[0009] Preferably, any of the above solutions has a plurality of support plates that are evenly arranged along the length of the hopper, and the support plates are fixedly connected to the top of the hopper.

[0010] The above technical solution employs a drive assembly to move the hopper, typically using electric cylinders, with multiple cylinders operating in parallel. Support plates provide a mounting platform for the drive shaft. Several support plates are installed on the hopper to provide multiple points of support for the drive shaft, ensuring its stability. The evenly distributed support plates contribute to the balance of the drive shaft.

[0011] Preferably, according to any of the above solutions, side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the cover plate, and there are two limiting frames disposed at both ends of the cover plate.

[0012] The above technical solution employs a drive motor to rotate the drive shaft, which in turn rotates the cover plate, controlling the opening and closing of the hopper. The cover plate controls the opening and closing of the hopper, thereby controlling the flow rate and direction of the iron ore powder being poured out. Side plates are provided on the sides of the cover plate to assist in controlling the opening and closing of the hopper. A limiting frame is installed on the cover plate to provide movement space and constraint for the movable plate, preventing displacement in other directions.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the movable plate is provided with a plurality of ball bearings on the side near the limiting frame, and the extension plate includes an end plate and a top plate.

[0014] The above technical solution employs a movable plate as an installation platform for the extension plate. Ball bearings are installed on the side of the movable plate to assist its movement, making it smoother. The extension plate extends the influence range of the cover plate, facilitating disturbance of the iron ore powder stack.

[0015] Preferably, any of the above solutions has a plurality of drive push rods that are evenly arranged along the length of the cover plate.

[0016] The above technical solution employs a drive push rod to move the extension plate, causing it to extend or retract, thereby expanding the cover plate's influence range when needed. Several drive push rods are evenly arranged to ensure the cover plate receives uniform drive.

[0017] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the output shaft of the drive push rod is fixedly connected to the end plate of the expansion plate, and the drive push rod is disposed between the top plate and the cover plate of the expansion plate.

[0018] The above technical solution is adopted: the drive push rod is set between the extension plate and the cover plate, which saves installation space and protects the drive push rod by the extension plate, thus avoiding the impact of iron ore powder stacking on the drive push rod.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This automated iron ore powder stacker, through the configuration of support plates, drive shafts, drive motors, cover plates, limit frames, movable plates, and extension plates, utilizes a mobile vehicle to scoop up iron ore powder from a hopper during iron ore powder stacking operations. The vehicle is then moved to the desired position. The drive assembly rotates the hopper, which in turn rotates the drive shaft via the drive motor, causing the cover plate to rotate at a certain angle. Iron ore powder then flows out between the cover plate and the hopper. The size of the gap between the cover plate and the hopper, as well as the angle of the hopper, can be adjusted as needed to control the speed and direction of the iron ore powder flow. After all the iron ore powder has been poured out, the drive shaft rotates the cover plate, which pushes the iron ore powder at the top of the stack to slide outwards. A drive pusher extends the extension plate, which, in conjunction with the cover plate, pushes the iron ore powder at the top of the stack outwards, increasing the stability of the stack and ensuring a flat top for easier subsequent stacking operations.

[0021] 2. This automated iron ore powder stacker features a V-shaped hopper for easy storage of iron ore powder after it has been shoveled in. A shovel plate at the bottom of the hopper facilitates shoveling up the powder. Several evenly distributed support plates help balance the drive shaft. A limit frame on the cover plate provides movement space and constraint for the movable plate, preventing displacement in other directions. Ball bearings on the sides of the movable plate assist in its movement, making it smoother.

[0022] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model includes a mobile vehicle 1, with a hopper 2 at one end of the mobile vehicle 1. A drive assembly 3 is provided on the mobile vehicle 1 to drive the hopper 2 to move. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the hopper 2. A drive shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the support plate 4. A drive motor 6 is provided on one side of the support plate 4 to drive the drive shaft 5 to rotate. A cover plate 7 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 5. A limit frame 8 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 7. A movable plate 9 is movably connected inside the limit frame 8. An extension plate 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate 9. A drive push rod 11 is provided on the cover plate 7 to drive the extension plate 10 to move.

[0032] Example 1: The hopper 2 has a V-shaped structure, and several shovels are provided at one end of the bottom surface of the hopper 2. The moving vehicle 1 is used to move the relevant components and iron ore powder. The hopper 2 at its end can be used to hold iron ore powder. Its V-shaped structure facilitates the storage of iron ore powder after it is shoveled in. Shovels are provided at the bottom of the hopper 2 to facilitate the shoveling of iron ore powder.

[0033] Several support plates 4 are evenly arranged along the length of the hopper 2 and are fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 2. The drive assembly 3 is used to move the hopper 2, and it generally uses electric cylinders, with multiple electric cylinders driving in parallel. The support plates 4 provide a mounting platform for the drive shaft 5. The arrangement of several support plates 4 on the hopper 2 provides multiple points of support for the drive shaft 5, ensuring its stability. The even arrangement of the support plates 4 also helps to balance the drive shaft 5.

[0034] Example 2: Side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the cover plate 7, and two limiting frames 8 are set at both ends of the cover plate 7. The drive motor 6 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the cover plate 7 to rotate, controlling the opening and closing of the hopper 2. The cover plate 7 controls the opening and closing of the hopper 2, thereby controlling the flow rate and direction of the iron ore powder being poured out. The side plates on the sides of the cover plate 7 assist the cover plate 7 in controlling the opening and closing of the hopper 2. The limiting frames 8 on the cover plate 7 provide movement space and constraints for the movable plate 9, preventing the movable plate 9 from displacing in other directions.

[0035] The movable plate 9 has several ball bearings on its side near the limiting frame 8. The extension plate 10 includes an end plate and a top plate. The movable plate 9 provides an installation platform for the extension plate 10. The ball bearings on the side of the movable plate 9 assist in its movement, making it smoother. The extension plate 10 extends the influence range of the cover plate 7, facilitating the disturbance of the iron ore powder stack 12.

[0036] Example 3: Several drive push rods 11 are evenly arranged along the length of the cover plate 7. The drive push rods 11 are used to move the extension plate 10, causing it to extend or retract, so as to expand the influence range of the cover plate 7 when needed. The even arrangement of several drive push rods 11 ensures that the cover plate 7 is driven uniformly.

[0037] The output shaft of the drive push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the end plate of the expansion plate 10. The drive push rod 11 is located between the top plate and the cover plate 7 of the expansion plate 10. The drive push rod 11 is located between the expansion plate 10 and the cover plate 7, which saves installation space and protects the drive push rod 11 by the expansion plate 10, thus preventing the drive push rod 11 from being affected by the iron ore powder stack 12.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] S1. When stacking iron ore powder, use mobile vehicle 1 to drive hopper 2 to scoop up iron ore powder, and then drive the vehicle to move to the required position.

[0040] S2. The drive assembly 3 drives the hopper 2 to rotate, and the drive motor 6 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate, causing the cover plate 7 to rotate at a certain angle. Then, the iron ore powder flows out from between the cover plate 7 and the hopper 2. As needed, the size of the gap between the cover plate 7 and the hopper 2 and the angle of the hopper 2 are adjusted to control the speed and direction of the iron ore powder flow.

[0041] S3. After all the iron ore powder has been poured out, the drive shaft 5 drives the cover plate 7 to rotate. The cover plate 7 pushes the iron ore powder on the top of the iron ore powder stack 12 to slide to all sides. The drive push rod 11 drives the extension plate 10 to extend, so that the extension plate 10 works with the cover plate 7 to push the iron ore powder on the top of the iron ore powder stack 12 to flow to all sides, increase the stability of the iron ore powder stack 12, and make the top of the stack flat, which is convenient for subsequent stacking work.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0043] 1. This automated iron ore powder stacker, through the configuration of support plates 4, drive shafts 5, drive motors 6, cover plates 7, limit frames 8, movable plates 9, and extension plates 10, utilizes a mobile vehicle 1 to scoop up iron ore powder from hoppers 2 during iron ore powder stacking operations. The vehicle is then moved to the desired position. Drive assembly 3 rotates hopper 2, which in turn rotates drive shaft 5 via drive motor 6, causing cover plate 7 to rotate at a certain angle. Iron ore powder then flows out from between cover plate 7 and hopper 2. The speed and direction of iron ore powder flow can be controlled by adjusting the gap between cover plate 7 and hopper 2 and the angle of hopper 2 as needed. After all the iron ore powder has been poured out, the drive shaft 5 drives the cover plate 7 to rotate. The cover plate 7 pushes the iron ore powder on the top of the iron ore powder stack 12 to slide to all sides. The drive push rod 11 drives the extension plate 10 to extend, so that the extension plate 10 works with the cover plate 7 to push the iron ore powder on the top of the iron ore powder stack 12 to flow to all sides, increase the stability of the iron ore powder stack 12, and make the top of the stack flat, which is convenient for subsequent stacking work.

[0044] 2. This automated iron ore powder stacker features a V-shaped hopper 2 for convenient storage of iron ore powder after it has been shoveled in. A shovel plate is installed at the bottom of the hopper 2 for easy shoveling of the iron ore powder. Several support plates 4 are evenly arranged to facilitate the balance of the drive shaft 5. A limiting frame 8 is installed on the cover plate 7 to provide movement space and constraint for the movable plate 9, preventing displacement in other directions. Ball bearings are installed on the side of the movable plate 9 to assist its movement and make it smoother.
