1. The head is composed of the head seat, the head cover, the head wheel, the head wheel shaft and
the bearing seat (see Figure 2). Four viewing access Windows are provided on the nose seat. Used to
observe the operation of materials and adjust the baffle, remove debris. In addition, in order to ensure
the safety of the elevator in the operation process, the general head is also provided with a blast
outlet, in order to reduce the dust concentration of the head when unloading, some heads are also
provided with suction tuyere to take away the dust when unloading, if the head does not have suction
tuyere, then the process in the discharge chute to design suction tuyere. In addition, due to the faster
speed of the winnowing hopper, the unloading method is usually centrifugal unloading. The friction
between the materials and the head wheel housing is serious. In order to increase the wear resistance
of the shell, the head wheel housing is generally covered with a layer of molecular wear-resistant
plate to increase the service life of the head.
In order to ensure that the elevator does not run off during operation, the shape of the head wheel is
designed into a waist drum shape.

2. The base of the ordinary lifting machine is composed of the base body, tailwheel, tailwheel shaft, bearing
seat, tensioning device, hopper and other parts (see Figure 3). The base body is provided with a forward or
reverse feed port, and the hopper can be installed in any position according to the user's needs, but the
reverse feed mode is generally adopted. The tensioning device is used to adjust the relative positions of the
3
head and tail wheel and tighten the winnowing pan belt to prevent it from deflecting and slipping. A row of
7
 feed insert doors are set on both sides of the lower base body to clear surplus grain and sundry materials in
the winnowing machine. In addition, the tailwheel shaft is usually equipped with a stall switch to alarm
when the winnowing pan belt slips.

3. The base of the self-cleaning hoist is composed of feeding port, tensioning device, fine-tuning
device, tailwheel shaft, tailwheel, bearing seat and other parts (see Figure 4). The installation
position of the hopper is arranged at the forward or reverse feeding end on the frame base according
to the technological design requirements.

The tensioning device is used to adjust the

tightness of the winnowing belt and correct
deviation. A stall switch is installed on the
tailwheel shaft to alarm when the
winnowing belt slips. The unique design of
the tension system of this series of hoist has
the characteristics of simple structure, fast
and convenient.

4. The cylinder is made of high-quality steel plate bending and edge forming orwelding forming, with

good sealing and rigidity. The cylinder can be divided into the ordinary cylinder, observation, and

maintenance cylinder, explosion-proof cylinder, and dustproof cylinder. The explosion-proof barrel

is provided with a blowoutwindow equipped with a thin metal film plate to play a protective role and

the observation and maintenance barrel is used for observation and maintenance. According to the position
required by the user's process, the overhaulwindow is opened and the movable insert door is provided. The

standard length ofthe barrel is 2000, 1800, or 1500, and can also be determined according to the needs of

users.

5. The transmission device can be combined according to different needs andsituations in a variety of

ways, such as: by the motor, hydraulic coupler, reducer(including check), etc.; Or by motor, reducer,

sprocket, and chain, etc.; Can also be composed of motor, reducer, pulley, the triangle belt, and other

parts, when the motor power is small, it can be installed on the head seat, when the motor power exceeds
15KW, the motor should be installed on the workbench or floor, to balance the operation, the bucket

lifting machine control circuit is equipped by theuser. According to user needs, speed measurement or speed

limiting speed control device can be installed on the tailwheel shaft; And can be configured with

a maintenance motor.

6. 1.5 Winnowing bucket: The winnowing bucket is the part used by the hoist to hold the material. It is

generally made of thin steel plates by stamping, riveting, or welding. The bucket made of

engineering plastics can also be used. It is light and wear-resistant, which can reduce power

consumption and avoid dust explosionaccidents caused by sparks when the bucket encounters metal

components such as the barrel. The style of the bucket is generally divided into three types: deep, shallow,
or bottomless.

7. The pan belt: The pan belt is used to install the main components of the pan. Canvas tape without

mulch or rubber tape with mulch is usually used. There are three ways to connect a winnowing

pan belt: lap, corner, and flat. The lap joint should be careful to make the joint along the direction

9
 of the belt movement. (See Figure 5)

direction of motion

Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the winnowing pan tape lap

3.2 Working principle

The working principle of this machine is that the bucket belt is encircled between the head wheel and

the tail wheel, and the bucket for holding materials is fixed withthe bucket screws every certain

distance on the full length of the bucket belt. To prevent materials from scattering and dust flying,

all components are sealed withthe shell. The hoist will run the winnowing pan belt by the driving

motor rotating throughthe head wheel. When the bucket elevator is working, the material enters the

basethrough the feed port, then the vent lifts the material to the head. When the vent goesaround the

head wheel, the material is thrown out and flows out of the vent.

3.3 Electrical control section

The electrical control system see electrical schematic diagram (see Figure 5), hoist safety protection

switches such as stall switches, anti-blocking switches, and deviation switches according to user

requirements configuration, electrical control is separately designed.

This electrical control schematic is only suitable for single-machine use, if it is used as a complete set,

the electrical control diagram must be redesigned separately.

2) Rubber slats (or asbestos pads) gaskets should be applied to the flange joint of the cylinder. And

tighten the connecting bolt, the flange side of the joint should not haveobvious dislocation and gap.

3) The position of the head should be installed according to the requirements of the technological

process, and the position of the discharge port can be on the same side as the feed port or the other

side.

4) Installation of the bucket and the bucket belt: the bucket belt should be pre-drawn before being
perforated into the bucket. The bucket belt joint should span at least three buckets and be
connected with belt bolts. The pan shall beinstalled on the pan belt, piece by piece, with the pan
bolts after the pan belt isconnected.
5) Open the viewing cover on the nose seat, and adjust the flow back baffle so that the clearance

3. Commissioning and commissioning

1) Strictly check the installation quality of all parts of the equipment. The transmission device must

be firm and reliable.

2) Check the winnowing pan belt for proper tightness. The joint should be flat and straight, the lap

direction should be correct, and there should be no loosening of the belt bolts and pan screws.

3) Check the pan for damage and if any cannot be used, repair or replace it immediately.

4) Check whether the bearing is loose and whether the lubrication is normal. If thebearing is loose, it

should be tightened immediately. Oil should be injected in time if the lubrication condition is poor.

5) Pull out the power seat plug door (the self-cleaning elevator opens the access door atthe bottom),

check whether there is debris if there should be removed immediately, and then plug in the plug

door.

6) Check the clearance between the vent plate and the winnowing pan at the nose. It should be suitable
for 8-10mm.

7) 2 hours without load test, pay attention to adjust the tightness of the winnowing pan and observe

that there is no deviation of the winnowing pan (on one side). If so, adjust the tailwheel immediately

to make it runstraight.

8) After the empty car runs normally, adjust the feed gate to keep the flow into themachine stable

and appropriate to avoid excessive feeding, which may causeclogging accidents. Once the feed gate

is adjusted and positioned, it should not be moved randomly.

9) After no problem in the no-load test, the load test can be carried out. The feed should be gradually fed
first.Afternormaloperation, itcan run at full load. When stopping, observe the effect of stop flow, and the
winnowing pan belt should not reverse.

VI、 Conditions of use, operation, and safety procedures

1. Conditions of Service

1) The supporting equipment before and after the hoist in the process flow should be matched.

2) The working voltage should be stable, the deviation is not be more than ±5%.

3) Lifting material should conform to the vent hopper form.

2. Operation

18
 1) Do a good job of inspection according to the test steps

2) The bucket elevator should start empty, empty car normal operation, before feeding. In the

appropriate adjustment of the feed gate, keep the flow into the machine stable, and appropriate, and

avoid too much feed, causing a blockage accident. Once the feed gate is adjusted and positioned, it

should not be moved randomly.

3) Notice that no deviation occurs in the winnowing pan. If so, adjust the base tensioner to make it run

straight.

4) If there is a serious collision between the pan and the barrel, stop the pan

immediately and check if the pan is cracked, if the bolts are loose, and if the pan belt is too loose

or deflected. Once the cause has been identified, repair immediatelywithout delay to avoid a major

accident.

5) When conveying materials with poor liquidity, the blockage at the feed port shouldbe eliminated

in time, and close attention should be paid to the backflow situation in conveying. When the

reflux is too large, corresponding measures should be adopted to solve the problem.

6) Once the hoisting machine is blocked, the feeding should be stopped immediately, and then the plug

door at the lower part of the frame should be pulled open to discharge the blocked material. When

the blockage is serious, the machine should stop and discharge the material. When discharging the material,
it is forbidden to reach into the machine stand to pick it up.

7) In normal operation, it is strictly prohibited to open the head cover of the lifting machine or the door

of the boot seat.

8) Only after the material in the machine is unloaded, can the machine stop or change the lifting material

variety. During normal production, the machine must stop onceper shift to clean up the accumulated

material in the machine stand, toavoid affecting the production.

9) The residual material in the elevator pit should be removed in time, and shall not affect the extraction
and insertion of the cleaning door on the machine stand.
