Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, specifically a bucket elevator that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Bucket elevators are continuous conveying machines that use a series of buckets uniformly fixed to an endless traction component to vertically lift materials. Bucket elevators use a series of buckets fixed to a traction chain or belt to transport bulk materials upward in a vertical or near-vertical direction. They are divided into three types: ring chain, plate chain, and belt.

[0003] In the existing technology, the main area for cleaning bucket elevators is the bucket section. The cleaning method usually adopts gas adsorption treatment. During the movement of the bucket, the suction nozzles on the outside of the bucket are used to directly adsorb the residue on the bucket in sequence.

[0004] However, the above method has the following drawbacks in actual use: the fixed suction nozzle has too large a distance from the hopper, which can easily lead to a decrease in the adsorption effect. In addition, there is a tendency for residue to remain in the corners of the hopper after adsorption, creating cleaning dead corners. Utility Model Content

[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 1-4As shown, a bucket elevator that is easy to clean includes a bucket elevator body 100 and a cleaning mechanism 200. The cleaning mechanism 200 is disposed on the bucket elevator body 100 and is used to clean the buckets and hoppers inside the bucket elevator body 100. The cleaning mechanism 200 includes an adsorption cylinder 210, and a set of adsorption holes are opened on the outer side of the adsorption cylinder 210. The adsorption cylinder 210 extends into the interior of the bucket elevator body 100 and can move vertically.

[0018] When cleaning the hopper, the adsorption cylinder 210 is placed inside the hopper, and then gas adsorption is performed. The adsorption holes are used to clean the inside of the hopper at multiple points, effectively reducing the dead corners of residue. After the cleaning of a single hopper is completed, the adsorption cylinder 210 is reset, and then the subsequent hoppers are cleaned in sequence. It should be noted that the main body of the bucket elevator in this application is model HYZD-1l, which belongs to the chain-type Z-type bucket elevator; During the adsorption operation, the main body 100 of the bucket elevator is in operation and the bucket is empty.

[0019] The cleaning mechanism 200 also includes an exhaust box 220, the opening of which is connected to the interior of the bucket elevator body 100.

[0020] The exhaust box 220 is used for gas discharge to pneumatically clean up materials that accidentally fall into the bottom wall of the bucket elevator body 100 during the material conveying process.

[0021] An outer shell 211 is fitted around the outside of the adsorption cylinder 210. A three-way pipe 212 communicating with the adsorption cylinder 210 is installed on the outer shell 211. Both ends of the three-way pipe 212 are slidably connected to the inside of the bucket elevator body 100.

[0022] The adsorption cylinder 210 is supported by a shell 211 and a three-way pipe 212. The shell 211 can block the adsorption holes that are not used during the adsorption process to ensure the stability of the adsorption force in the hopper. Then, the adsorbed residue and gas are transported by the three-way pipe 212.

[0023] It should be noted that the end of the three-way tube 212 away from the outer casing 211 is made of plastic tubing, which does not affect the gas flow or the normal operation of the adsorption cylinder 210.

[0024] Two springs 213 are sleeved on the outside of the three-way pipe 212. One end of the spring 213 is installed on the outside of the bucket elevator body 100, and the spring 213 is in a compressed state.

[0025] With the spring 213 in place, when cleaning the hopper, the spring 213 will drive the adsorption cylinder 210 to be placed inside the hopper. After the cleaning of a single hopper is completed, since the bucket elevator body 100 is in motion, the next hopper will move to the position of the adsorption cylinder 210. At this time, the adsorption cylinder 210 will be reset by the pressure of the hopper. When the next hopper moves into place, the spring 213 will drive the adsorption cylinder 210 to move again to complete the continuous adsorption operation. It should be noted that conventional hoppers have a multi-sided inclined surface design inside, and when they come into contact with the adsorption cylinder 210, the adsorption cylinder 210 can move along the inclined surface.

[0026] An air pump 110 is installed on the outside of the bucket elevator body 100. The output end of the air pump 110 is connected to a conduit 113 that communicates with the exhaust box 220. The input end of the air pump 110 is connected to a collection box 111 that communicates with a three-way pipe 212. The collection box 111 is installed on the bucket elevator body 100.

[0027] Starting the air pump 110 creates a negative pressure inside the collection box 111, allowing the three-way pipe 212 to work with the adsorption cylinder 210 to adsorb the slag. The collection box 111 allows for the centralized collection of the adsorbed slag.

[0028] A filter box 112 is inserted into the inside of the collection box 111, and two support plates are installed on the three-way pipe 212, which are connected to the collection box 111 by bolts.

[0029] The filter box 112 can intercept and collect the slag during the adsorption and cleaning process of the hopper, reducing the impact on the air pump 110. Users can periodically pull out the filter box 112 for centralized material processing. When the tee pipe 212 is not in use, the support plate and bolts are used to limit its movement. When cleaning the hopper, the corresponding bolts are unscrewed so that the spring 213 and the adsorption cylinder 210 can move normally.

[0030] An interceptor box 120 is detachably installed on the main body 100 of the bucket elevator, and the opening of the interceptor box 120 is opposite to that of the exhaust box 220.

[0031] When the exhaust box 220 discharges gas, it can drive the material that falls onto the bottom wall of the bucket elevator body 100 and intercept and collect it in conjunction with the interception box 120. It should be noted that the interception box 120 is bolted to the bucket elevator body 100, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and centralized processing of the collected materials.

[0032] Working principle: During the cleaning operation, the bolts on the support plate are unscrewed, and the spring 213 drives the adsorption cylinder 210 to move into the bucket elevator body 100 and place it into the corresponding hopper. Then, the bucket elevator body 100 is started to operate at the corresponding speed. At the same time, the air pump 110 is operated, and the negative pressure is used to draw air from multiple points in the hopper through the adsorption holes on the adsorption cylinder 210 to complete the adsorption of the slag. Then, the filter box 112 is used to intercept the slag. Then, the conduit 113 discharges the gas along the exhaust box 220 to drive the material falling to the bottom wall of the bucket elevator body 100. The interception box 120 is used to complete the material collection. Users can periodically remove the filter box 112 and the interception box 120 for centralized treatment of the material residue; After the cleaning work is completed, the user can move the support plate to reset it, and then use bolts to limit the position of the support plate.
