Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composting bins, and in particular to a bucket elevator circulating mixing and blending device. Background Technology

[0002] For the treatment of organic waste (such as kitchen waste, agricultural straw, and urban sludge), composting is commonly used. Traditional composting relies on manual turning to improve fermentation and aeration. Existing related turning equipment, such as the chain plate composting turner disclosed in patent document CN203530167U, uses chain plates to tilt and transport materials from a low position to a high position, and then unload them to achieve composting. However, this solution has a problem: the material's position before and after composting is different, requiring more composting space and making it impossible to turn the material in place. The chain plates need to be constantly moved to turn all the material. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bucket elevator circulating mixing and mixing equipment. By combining a screw conveyor and a bucket elevator, the material at the discharge port is cleverly transported to the inlet, so that the material in the compost bin can be circulated and turned over, making the turning over simpler and more convenient.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a bucket elevator circulating mixing and composting equipment, including a compost bin and a circulation mechanism;

[0005] The composting bin is provided with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom.

[0006] The circulation mechanism includes a screw conveyor and a bucket elevator;

[0007] The feed end of the screw conveyor is connected to the feed port, the discharge end of the screw conveyor is connected to the loading end of the bucket elevator, and the unloading end of the bucket elevator extends above the feed port.

[0008] When in use, the material is poured into the compost bin for composting. When it is necessary to turn the compost, the circulation mechanism continuously sinks the material from the outlet to form a circulation, so that the material in the compost bin is constantly turned.

[0009] This solution utilizes the features of a screw conveyor and a bucket elevator. The screw conveyor transports the material from the discharge port to the side of the compost bin, and then the bucket elevator transports the material upward into the compost bin. The entire process is coordinated and can perfectly move the material from the discharge port of the compost bin to the inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge end of the screw conveyor is inclined downwards and connected to a guide rail, the lower end of which extends above the loading end of the bucket elevator. This facilitates the transfer of material from the screw conveyor to the bucket elevator.

[0011] Preferably, the screw conveyor includes a first horizontal section, a vertical lifting section, and a second horizontal section, wherein the first horizontal section is located below the guide slide and the second horizontal section is located above the feed inlet.

[0012] The first horizontal section transports the material close to the lower end of the vertical lifting section, which then transports the material to the feed inlet of the upper compost bin. The second horizontal section is used to transport the material from the side of the compost bin to above the feed inlet of the compost bin.

[0013] Preferably, the screw conveyor includes a sprocket assembly and a hopper;

[0014] Several hoppers are sequentially distributed between the two sets of sprocket assemblies;

[0015] The sprocket assembly includes a first traction wheel, a second traction wheel, a guide wheel, and a chain. The first and second traction wheels are rotatably mounted at both ends of the bracket. The guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the bracket between the first and second traction wheels. The chain is wound around the first and second traction wheels, and the middle section of the chain is wound around the guide wheel. The guide wheel guides the direction of the chain. Both ends of the hopper are fixed to the chain.

[0016] In this design, one of the guide wheels is driven by a motor to pull the chain, causing the chain to rotate cyclically between the first and second traction wheels. The guide wheel guides the chain and divides the entire conveyor chain into three sections: a first horizontal section, a vertical lifting section, and a second horizontal section. Since the hopper is located between the two sets of sprocket assemblies, it can smoothly move along with the chain during its turning process. When the hopper is at the top, it can smoothly receive the material sliding down the guide rail. When the hopper moves down the chain, the hopper opening faces downwards, pouring the material into the feed inlet of the compost bin.

[0017] Preferably, the first traction wheel is driven by a motor, which makes movement more convenient.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the compost bin is equipped with a temperature sensor and an air pipe, the air pipe having several air holes and connected to an air pump. The temperature sensor can detect the internal temperature in real time, and the air pump and air pipe can deliver air into the compost bin for aeration and cooling.

[0019] Preferably, a liquid collection tank is provided below the feed end of the screw conveyor. This tank is used to collect and recycle the leachate generated during the composting process.

[0020] Preferably, the inner wall of the compost bin is equipped with a humidity sensor and a spray head. The spray head is connected to the liquid collection tank via a water pipe, and the liquid collection tank is equipped with a circulating water pump connected to the water pipe. This allows the leachate to be pumped back and sprayed onto the material to maintain its moisture content.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This solution cleverly uses a combination of a screw conveyor and a bucket elevator to transport the material from the discharge port to the inlet, enabling the material in the compost bin to be circulated and turned over, making the turning process simpler and more convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a bucket elevator circulating mixing equipment includes a compost bin 1 and a circulation mechanism;

[0031] The composting bin 1 is provided with a feed inlet 11 at the upper end and a discharge outlet 12 at the lower end.

[0032] The circulation mechanism includes a screw conveyor 4 and a bucket elevator 5;

[0033] The feed end of the screw conveyor 4 is connected to the feed inlet 11, the discharge end of the screw conveyor 4 is connected to the loading end of the bucket elevator 5, and the unloading end of the bucket elevator 5 extends above the feed inlet 11.

[0034] When in use, the material is poured into the compost bin 1 for composting. When it is necessary to turn the compost, the circulation mechanism will continuously sink the material from the discharge port 12 to form a circulation, so that the material in the compost bin 1 is constantly turned.

[0035] This solution utilizes the features of the screw conveyor 4 and the bucket elevator 5. The screw conveyor 4 transports the material from the discharge port 12 to the side of the compost bin 1, and then the bucket elevator 5 transports the material upward into the compost bin 1. The whole process is coordinated and can perfectly move the material from the discharge port 12 of the compost bin 1 to the inlet 11.

[0036] The discharge end of the screw conveyor 4 is inclined downwards and connected to a guide slide 6, the lower end of which extends above the loading end of the bucket elevator 5. This facilitates the transfer of material from the screw conveyor 4 to the bucket elevator 5.

[0037] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the screw conveyor 4 includes a first horizontal section, a vertical lifting section, and a second horizontal section. The first horizontal section is located below the guide slide 6, and the second horizontal section is located above the feed inlet 11.

[0038] The first horizontal section transports the material close to the lower end of the vertical lifting section, which in turn transports the material to the feed inlet 11 of the upper composting bin 1. The second horizontal section is used to transport the material from the side of the composting bin 1 to above the feed inlet 11 of the composting bin 1.

[0039] The screw conveyor 4 includes a sprocket assembly 51 and a hopper 52;

[0040] A plurality of hoppers 52 are sequentially distributed between the two sets of sprocket assemblies 51;

[0041] The sprocket assembly 51 includes a first traction wheel 511, a second traction wheel 512, a guide wheel 513, and a chain 514. The first traction wheel 511 and the second traction wheel 512 are rotatably disposed at both ends of the bracket. The guide wheel 513 is rotatably disposed on the bracket between the first traction wheel 511 and the second traction wheel 512. The chain 514 is wound around the first traction wheel 511 and the second traction wheel 512 respectively. The middle section of the chain 514 is wound around the guide wheel 513. The guide wheel 513 guides the direction of the chain 514. Both ends of the hopper 52 are fixed to the chain 514.

[0042] In this design, one of the guide wheels 513 is driven by a motor to pull the chain 514, causing the chain 514 to rotate cyclically between the first traction wheel 511 and the second traction wheel 512. The guide wheel 513 guides the chain 514, and the entire conveyor chain can be divided into three sections: a first horizontal section, a vertical lifting section, and a second horizontal section. Since the hopper 52 is located between the two sets of sprocket assemblies 51, the chain 514 can smoothly drive the hopper 52 to move together during the turning process. When the hopper 52 is at the top, it can smoothly receive the material sliding down the guide slide 6. When the hopper 52 moves down along the chain 514, the opening of the hopper 52 faces downward, pouring the material into the feed inlet 11 of the compost bin 1.

[0043] In this design, the guide wheel 513 is mainly located on the inside of the steering wheel 514.

[0044] The first traction wheel 511 is driven by a motor, making movement more convenient.

[0045] The composting bin 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor 7 and an air pipe 2 on its inner wall. The air pipe 2 has several air holes and is connected to an air pump. The temperature sensor 7 can detect the internal temperature in real time, and the air pump and air pipe 2 can supply air into the composting bin 1 to facilitate aeration and cooling.

[0046] A liquid collection tank 3 is provided below the feed end of the screw conveyor 4. This tank is used to collect and circulate the leachate generated during the composting process. The leachate is mainly discharged from the gap at the feed end of the screw conveyor 4.

[0047] The compost bin 1 is equipped with a humidity sensor 8 and a spray head on its inner wall. The spray head is connected to the liquid collection tank 3 via a water pipe. The liquid collection tank 3 is equipped with a circulating water pump connected to the water pipe. This allows the leachate to be pumped back and sprayed onto the material to maintain its moisture content.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0049] This solution uses a screw conveyor 4 and a bucket elevator 5 to cleverly transport the material from the discharge port 12 to the inlet 11, so that the material in the compost bin 1 can be circulated and turned over, making the turning process simpler and more convenient.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
