[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a bidirectional feeding hopper for biomass pellets.

[0046] A bidirectional feeding hopper for biomass pellets includes a feeding hopper 1 and a feeding box 2. The feeding box 2 is disposed on the feeding hopper 1 and fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 1. It also includes a feeding mechanism disposed in the feeding box 2 for feeding operations. The feeding mechanism is disposed in the feeding hopper 1 for feeding operations. The feeding mechanism includes a diverter 3 disposed in the feeding hopper 1 and fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 1. A first motor 4 disposed in the diverter 3 and fixedly connected to the diverter 3. A threaded rod 5 disposed at the output end of the first motor 4 and fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 4. A lifting member 6 disposed on the threaded rod 5 and threadedly connected to the threaded rod 5. Two rotating plates 7 are disposed on the diverter 3 and rotatably connected to the diverter 3.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes: a drive unit disposed in the feeding hopper 1 for providing power; and a stirring unit disposed on the drive unit for stirring.

[0048] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the drive unit includes: a mounting plate 8, which is disposed inside the feed hopper 1 and fixedly connected to the feed hopper 1; and a second motor 9, which is disposed on the mounting plate 8 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 8.

[0049] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the stirring part includes: a rotating member 10, which is disposed on the output end of the second motor 9 and fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 9; and a plurality of stirring members 11, which are disposed on the rotating member 10 and fixedly connected to the rotating member 10.

[0050] With this setup, during operation, the first motor 4 is started, driving the threaded rod 5 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 5 causes the lifting component 6 to move up and down on the threaded rod 5, pushing or pulling the rotating plates 7 on both sides to rotate. This allows the position of the rotating plates 7 to be adjusted as needed, controlling the opening and closing degree of the rotating plates 7 on both sides, and thus controlling the feeding speed. At the same time, the second motor 9 is started, driving the rotating component 10 to rotate. The multiple stirring components 11 on the rotating component 10 rotate accordingly, stirring the material particles in the feed hopper 1 to prevent the material particles from accumulating and clogging, ensuring smooth feeding. The lifting component 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 7, and when the lifting component 6 moves, it can pull or push the rotating plate 7 to open and close.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes: a power unit disposed in the feed box 2 for providing power; and a feeding unit disposed on the power unit for feeding operations.

[0052] refer to Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the power unit includes: a third motor 12, which is disposed in the feed box 2 and fixedly connected to the feed box 2; and a first sprocket 13, which is disposed at the output end of the third motor 12 and connected to the output end of the third motor 12.

[0053] refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the feeding unit includes: a second sprocket 14, which is disposed in the feeding box 2 and rotatably connected to the feeding box 2; and a feeding screw 15, which is disposed on the second sprocket 14 and fixedly connected to the second sprocket 14.

[0054] With this configuration, during operation, the third motor 12 drives the first sprocket 13 to rotate, the first sprocket 13 drives the second sprocket 14 to rotate via a chain, the second sprocket 14 drives the feeding screw 15 to rotate, and the feeding screw 15 conveys the material particles falling from the feed hopper 1 to both sides. The feeding screw 15 is equipped with spiral blades at both ends, and the spiral blades rotate in opposite directions.

[0055] This device, through its feeding mechanism, allows for flexible adjustment of the opening and closing degree of the rotating plates 7 on both sides according to requirements, thereby precisely controlling the feeding speed. This effectively solves the problem of traditional feeding hoppers being unable to control the feeding speed. Simultaneously, the addition of a stirring section ensures that the material particles are fully agitated during the feeding process, preventing particle accumulation and blockage, and guaranteeing smooth and stable feeding. By incorporating the feeding mechanism and the coordinated operation of the power unit and the feeding unit, this device achieves efficient and uniform conveying of material particles, further improving feeding efficiency and quality.

[0056] Working Principle: When this device is in operation, material particles are added to the feed hopper 1. The first motor 4 is started, driving the threaded rod 5 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 5 causes the lifting component 6 to move up and down on the threaded rod 5, pushing or pulling the rotating plates 7 on both sides to rotate. This allows adjustment of the position of the rotating plates 7 as needed, controlling the opening and closing degree of the rotating plates 7, and thus controlling the feeding speed. Simultaneously, the second motor 9 is started, driving the rotating component 10 to rotate. Multiple stirring components 11 on the rotating component 10 rotate accordingly, stirring the material particles in the feed hopper 1 to prevent accumulation and blockage, ensuring smooth feeding. Inside the feed box 2, the third motor 12 is started, driving the first sprocket 13 to rotate. The first sprocket 13 drives the second sprocket 14 to rotate via a chain. The second sprocket 14 drives the feeding screw 15 to rotate, conveying the material particles falling from the feed hopper 1 to both sides, completing bidirectional feeding. This design achieves control over the feeding speed, improving feeding efficiency and stability.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
