Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a transfer device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, an arrangement in which a cord is inserted into a long tubular body, a transfer body is arranged at an appropriate interval in the cord, and a substance contained in the cylinder is transferred by the transfer body. Is being developed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the above-mentioned conventional transfer device has a structure for transferring a substance in a substantially horizontal direction, the supply hopper may be simply provided on the upper side of the horizontally arranged cylindrical body. Regarding the discharge, no special device was required only by opening the cylinder, but when the cylinder was installed upright in the vertical direction, the supply and discharge hoppers had to be modified.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is a transfer device having a supply hopper and a discharge hopper capable of reliably and smoothly supplying and discharging even in a transfer device using a vertical cylinder. To provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The transfer device of the present invention is erected substantially vertically,
An elongated tubular body having an upward discharge port at an upper end, an endless cord body inserted through the tubular body, and a plurality of transfer bodies attached to the cord body at appropriate intervals. A drive wheel for pulling the rope upward from the lower side of the cylinder, a means for supplying a substance to be transferred such as gravel arranged at the bottom of the cylinder, and a discharge of the substance to be transferred arranged above the cylinder. In the transfer device including the means, the discharging means is provided with a discharging hopper so as to surround the discharging port, and a flow-down plate of the discharging hopper is configured to diagonally cross the cylindrical body. It is what

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical body, for example, a structural steel pipe having a constant length is added to have a desired length.

The tubular body 1 is erected vertically, and a supply hopper 2 is attached to the lower portion thereof. As is clear from FIG. 2, the supply hopper 2 is composed of a falling plate 2a inclined in an inverted conical shape, and the lower end portion thereof has a lower end edge of an inlet port 1a opened laterally of the tubular body 1. Have been serialized. The upper edge of the inflow port 1a may be inclined slightly outward (inside the hopper 2) as shown by a virtual line.

Also, the upper end of the cylindrical body 1 is a discharge port 1b,
A discharge hopper 3 is attached around it. The flow-down plate 3a of the discharge hopper 3 is arranged so as to cross the cylinder 1 obliquely.

A wire 4 as a cord is inserted through the inside of the cylindrical body 1, extends upward from the discharge port 1b, is hooked by a drive wheel 5, and descends sideways of the cylindrical body 1. , Lower idler 6
It is wound around and is re-entered into the cylindrical body 1 to form an endless loop as a whole.

A large number of transfer bodies 7 are arranged on the wire 4 at appropriate intervals.

In addition, when the notch 5a is provided in the outer peripheral portion of the drive wheel 5 in accordance with the pitch of the transfer body 7 and the moving body 7 is engaged with the notch 5a, the cord 4 is reliably and strongly pulled. To be done.

Since the transfer device of this embodiment is configured as described above, when the drive wheel 5 is rotationally driven to pull the wire 4,
The transfer body 7 moves in the cylindrical body 1 from the bottom to the top.

When a substance to be transferred such as earth and sand is put into the supply hopper 2 in this state, the earth and sand flow down the falling plate 2a and enter the inside of the cylinder 1 from the inlet 1a of the cylinder 1.

The earth and sand that have entered the cylindrical body 1 are transferred upward by being forcibly pushed up by the transfer body 7, and the discharge port 1b at the upper end portion.
And is discharged into the surrounding discharge hopper 3.

The earth and sand discharged into the discharge hopper 3 flow down the falling plate 3a and are discharged to the outside.

The supply hopper 2 of the above embodiment is provided on the side of the cylindrical body 1, but it may be provided on the periphery. On the other hand, although the discharge hopper 3 is provided around the cylinder 1, the upper end discharge port 1b of the cylinder 1 is opened laterally or a part of the rising wall of the hopper 3 is extended to the cylinder 1. If so, it can be provided on the side of the cylindrical body 1.

As the cord in the present invention, in addition to the wire 4,
Any long material such as a rope or a chain, which is rich in flexibility and has tensile strength, may be used.

In addition, the transfer body 7 in the present invention may have any shape as long as it is formed along the inner surface shape of the cylindrical body 1 and can move in sliding contact, but depending on the type of substance to be transferred, There may be some gap between.
Further, the material of the transfer body is not limited to an elastic body such as rubber,
It may be a non-metal such as metal or plastic.

It should be noted that a tubular body may be disposed on the return path side (downward movement side) of the wire 4, and the idle wheel 6 may be omitted if the wire 4 and the like smoothly enter the tubular body 1.

FIG. 4 shows a so-called cage-shaped cylinder 8 in which a plurality of wires are arranged in parallel, and the cylinder 1 of the above embodiment may be replaced with this cage-shaped cylinder.

[Advantages of the Invention] The upper end portion of a long cylindrical body which is erected substantially vertically is an upward discharge port, and a discharge hopper is provided so as to surround the discharge port, and the discharge is performed. Since the flow-down plate of the hopper is constructed so as to cross the cylinder diagonally, the substance to be transferred can be freely discharged from the upward discharge port to the periphery thereof and received by the discharge hopper and smoothly flowed down by the flow-down plate. In addition to being able to discharge the substance to be transferred in front of the drive wheel, it is possible not only to prevent the drive wheel from being disturbed or polluted by the substance to be transferred, but also to reverse it. In addition, there is an advantage that the substance to be transferred is not crushed by the driving wheel.
