On April 18, 2026, information from the State Intellectual Property Office showed that Luoyang Luanchuan Molybdenum Group Co., Ltd. successfully applied for a patent called “An Electric Flow Regulator for a Draining Funnel”. The authorization announcement number is CN224137655U, and the authorization announcement date is April 17, 2026.
The application number is CN202521153292.2, and the application date is June 6, 2025.
This patent is of great significance.
The patent abstract shows that the utility model belongs to the technical field of mining auxiliary equipment.
Specifically, a baffle is movably connected to the discharging end of the guide chute, a gantry is provided across the guide chute, and a driving mechanism for driving the baffle up and down is provided on the gantry.
Several weight sensors are arranged at intervals below the conveyor belt, and the controller can control the start and stop of the driving mechanism based on the information transmitted by the weight sensors.
Under the action of the driving mechanism, the baffle can rise and fall vertically relative to the material guide chute to adjust the amount of material or to stop the ore, thereby realizing automatic control and adjustment of the flow rate of the ore funnel.
This innovation does not require workers to be on duty for long periods of time, greatly improving work efficiency.
After the put into use of Luoyang Molybdenum’s ore funnel flow electric regulator, it has brought many positive impacts.
It prevents the overload failure and shutdown accidents of the conveyor belt conveyor, improves the situation of disorderly spilling of materials, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and eliminates potential safety hazards.
