Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bucket elevator technology, specifically an adjustable bucket elevator. 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 existing technologies, Z-type bucket elevators discharge materials directly along the discharge pipe during material discharge, resulting in the following defects during material entry into warehouses and loading into trucks: the discharge position and angle are fixed, requiring manual assistance in spreading the material; the discharge range and speed are fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust according to the storage environment and the specifications of the transfer vehicle, affecting the subsequent organization efficiency of the material, and easily causing damage due to excessively rapid material discharge. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable bucket elevator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable bucket elevator, comprising a bucket elevator body and a discharge hopper installed on its outer side, and an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is disposed on the discharge hopper and is used to flexibly adjust the discharge range and the guiding angle; wherein the adjustment mechanism includes two guide plates, the guide plates are installed on the discharge hopper by hinges, and two baffles that can extend into the interior of the discharge hopper are provided on the outer side of the guide plates.

[0006] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism further includes a rubber pad, the side view of which is arc-shaped, and the rubber pad is installed on the inner wall of the discharge hopper.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge hopper is hinged to the outside of the bucket elevator body, and a hydraulic rod is hinged to the outside of the bucket elevator body. The end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the outside of the discharge hopper through a hinge seat.

[0008] Preferably, two first electric push rods are installed on the outer side of the discharge hopper, and the ends of the first electric push rods extend into the discharge hopper and are connected to the inner side of the rubber pad.

[0009] Preferably, two second electric push rods are installed on the outer side of the discharge hopper, one end of the second electric push rod is hinged to a drive rod, and one end of the drive rod is hinged to the inside of the guide plate.

[0010] Preferably, the drive rod is always positioned at an angle between the second electric push rod and the guide plate.

[0011] Preferably, the opposite sides of two adjacent baffles are arranged in an arc shape, and the thickness of the baffles is less than the wall thickness of the discharge hopper.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, by setting guide plates and a discharge hopper, allows the angle of the discharge hopper to be adjusted, changing the material discharge point. With the movement of the two guide plates, the discharge opening diameter of the discharge hopper is blocked, changing the discharge range, which is convenient to adapt to different storage environments and transfer car specifications, and reduces manual intervention in material laying. This invention utilizes a rubber pad to adjust its protrusion height within the discharge hopper according to the material type and the height of the discharge hopper port during the discharge process. This slows down the material discharge, ensuring discharge efficiency while reducing damage caused by excessively rapid material discharge. Furthermore, the rubber pad can be raised in a single area to change the material discharge position. Combined with the movement of a single-sided guide plate in the corresponding direction, the discharge angle of the material can be adjusted, improving the subsequent material straightening efficiency.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, an adjustable bucket elevator includes a bucket elevator body 100 and a discharge hopper 200 installed on its outer side, and also includes an adjustment mechanism 300. The adjustment mechanism 300 is disposed on the discharge hopper 200 and is used to flexibly adjust the discharge range and the guide angle. The adjustment mechanism 300 includes two guide plates 310, which are installed on the discharge hopper 200 by hinges. Two baffles 311 that can extend into the interior of the discharge hopper 200 are provided on the outer side of the guide plates 310.

[0017] When the main body 100 of the bucket elevator is in operation, the material will be discharged into the discharge hopper 200; When the user needs to adjust the discharge range: the two guide plates 310 can move synchronously to block the discharge port of the discharge hopper 200 to different degrees, thereby completing the adjustment of the discharge range; When the user needs to adjust the discharge angle: one side guide plate 310 can be made parallel to the discharge direction, and the other side guide plate 310 can be adjusted at an angle independently. During the material discharge process, the discharge angle changes due to the flow guidance of the guide plate 310 on that side. It should be noted that the baffle 311 can form a barrier between the guide plate 310 and the discharge hopper 200 during the material discharge process, which helps the material to be discharged normally. Users can also adjust the two guide plates 310 to different degrees, which can reduce the discharge range and form a specific discharge angle, and increase the impact force when the material is discharged. The specific usage methods are diverse and can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0018] The adjusting mechanism 300 also includes a rubber pad 320, which has an arc-shaped side cross-section and is installed on the inner wall of the discharge hopper 200.

[0019] The rubber pad 320 is designed to come into contact with the material, achieving a buffering and deceleration effect. Users can adjust the protrusion of the rubber pad 320 according to the type of material and the discharge.

[0020] The discharge hopper 200 is hinged to the outside of the bucket elevator body 100. A hydraulic rod 110 is hinged to the outside of the bucket elevator body 100. The end of the hydraulic rod 110 is connected to the outside of the discharge hopper 200 through a hinge seat.

[0021] When it is necessary to adjust the discharge position, the hydraulic rod 110 is activated, which allows the discharge hopper 200 to move along the upper hinge point and change the discharge position. It should be noted that the above-mentioned hinged seat and the discharge hopper 200 are slidably connected to reduce jamming during adjustment and ensure smooth adjustment. The upper port of the discharge hopper 200 is correspondingly set with the discharge pipe of the bucket elevator body 100, and the discharge area of ​​the discharge pipe is always in the opening.

[0022] Two first electric push rods 210 are installed on the outside of the discharge hopper 200. The ends of the first electric push rods 210 extend into the discharge hopper 200 and are connected to the inside of the rubber pad 320.

[0023] By using two first electric push rods 210 to move synchronously, the height of the rubber pad 320 can be changed, thereby slowing down the material flow according to the discharge situation. For example, the height position of the discharge hopper 200 can reduce the material discharge speed while ensuring discharge efficiency, thus achieving a protective effect. When the single first electric push rod 210 is in operation, the rubber pad 320 can be tilted, so that the material is affected by the tilted area when it is discharged, forming a guiding effect and guiding the material to the tilted surface. When the single-sided guide plate 310 is tilted to guide the material, the material contact with the corresponding guide plate 310 is increased, that is, the material discharge effect at a specific angle is improved. It should be noted that the thickness of the rubber pad 320 can be selected according to the actual usage requirements. After the first electric push rod 210 is operated, it should bulge in a regional pattern and not have a single point bulge.

[0024] Two second electric push rods 220 are installed on the outside of the discharge hopper 200. One end of the second electric push rod 220 is hinged to a drive rod 221, and one end of the drive rod 221 is hinged to the inside of the guide plate 310.

[0025] The second electric push rod 220 is used to drive the drive rod 221 to follow the movement, thereby driving the guide plate 310, changing the exposure range of the discharge hopper 200, and achieving the effect of adjusting the discharge range. It should be noted that the guide plate 310 has a column inside, and the end of the second electric push rod 220 is fitted with a collar that is sleeved to the outside of the column to form a hinge point.

[0026] The drive rod 221 is always in an inclined state between the second electric push rod 220 and the guide plate 310.

[0027] This avoids the phenomenon of the drive rod 221 and the guide plate 310 colliding after the second electric push rod 220 is operated. The inclined setting can effectively change the direction of the force applied by the drive rod 221, so that the guide plate 310 can rotate normally along the hinge point on the hinge.

[0028] The opposite sides of two adjacent baffles 311 are arranged in an arc shape, and the thickness of the baffle 311 is less than the wall thickness of the discharge hopper 200.

[0029] This ensures that the two guide plates 310 are closed to the discharge hopper 200 ports, and the two baffles 311 are less likely to collide and get stuck, and can enter the discharge hopper 200 normally.

[0030] Working Principle: The main body 100 of the bucket elevator is driven to operate, lifting the material and discharging it along the discharge pipe into the discharge hopper 200. The user can then drive the hydraulic rod 110 to change the angle of the discharge hopper 200, altering the discharge height and position. Simultaneously, the first electric push rod 210 can be driven to cause the rubber pad 320 to bulge to a corresponding degree, slowing down and buffering the material. Alternatively, a single first electric push rod 210 can be driven to tilt the rubber pad 320 for guidance. Then, the second electric push rod 220 can be used to drive the two guide plates 310 to move synchronously, changing the discharge range. Alternatively, a single second electric push rod 220 can be driven to adjust the angle of a single guide plate 310, adjusting the material discharge angle. Flexible adjustments can be made to the discharge position, angle, range, and speed, reducing manual intervention in material spreading. This adapts to different storage environments and transfer vehicle specifications, improving subsequent material handling efficiency and minimizing damage caused by excessively rapid material discharge while ensuring discharge efficiency.
