Bucket elevator is a continuous conveying machine that uses a series of buckets evenly fixed on an endless traction member to vertically lift materials. It is widely used in many industrial fields and has a series of unique advantages and characteristics.
The working principle of bucket elevator is mainly based on the transmission of chain or belt, and the materials are lifted from low to high through a series of buckets. The following is a detailed description of the working principle:
Bucket elevator working principle
Bucket elevator is a device that uses transmission devices such as chains or belts to lift materials from low to high. Its working principle includes four main steps: loading, lifting, transmission and unloading of materials.
Specific steps
Загрузка:
The material is loaded into the bucket of the bucket elevator through the feed port. The bucket is the main loading component of the bucket elevator, which is responsible for loading and temporarily storing materials.
Lifting:
When the drive device (usually composed of a motor, a reducer, a coupling, п.) is started, it generates power and transmits it to the bucket through a transmission device (chain or belt).
The bucket rises along the body driven by the transmission device, lifting the material from low to high. В этом процессе, the chain plate or belt plays a role in stabilizing the transmission of materials and reducing material wear.
Transmission:
As the bucket rises, the material is stably transmitted to a high place. The rotation speed of the chain plate or belt is indirectly controlled by the reducer, so that the material can be kept continuous, accurate and stable during the transmission process.
Discharging:
When the hopper reaches the top, it will encounter the discharge port. В это время, the hopper will open or tilt in some way to discharge the material from the hopper, completing the lifting and transportation process.
The unloading process can be achieved through auxiliary devices such as diversion nozzles to ensure that the material is transported to the destination at a uniform speed.
Structural composition
The bucket elevator is mainly composed of the following main components:
Feeding hopper: a container for loading materials.
