The large area of the inlet can ensure stable and reliable feeding, and materials conveyed by the preceding conveying equipment can enter the chute 100, so that the possibility of flying out of the chute caused by the factors such as the conveying speed of the preceding conveying equipment, the self weight of the materials, the conveying angle and the conveying position of the materials and the like is reduced. After entering the hollow cylindrical structure of the material guiding part 10 from the inlet, the material falls down to the outlet under the action of self gravity and inertia. In addition, the outlet area of the material guiding part 10 is smaller than the inlet area, and the relatively small outlet can control the falling point of the material more accurately. In order to meet the requirement, the size of the outlet needs to be ensured to be larger than the maximum size of the material, the blocking phenomenon is avoided, and the size of the outlet can be smaller than that of equipment for receiving materials in the subsequent process, such as a container or other conveying mechanisms, so that the accuracy of blanking is ensured.

Wherein the side walls may extend inwardly in a fold line to form a relatively smaller outlet, in some embodiments the side walls may extend from the inlet to the outlet and may be angled inwardly, and where multiple side walls are included, one or a portion of the side walls may be angled inwardly to form a smaller outlet compared to the inlet. Because the side wall is arranged in an inward inclined mode, friction force can be generated on materials in the falling process of the materials, the falling speed of the materials is reduced, and damage caused by too fast falling is avoided.

In one embodiment, the front end of the inlet is higher than the rear end of the inlet. In the present disclosure, the front end refers to the direction of the incoming material when the material enters the chute 100, and the rear end refers to the direction of the incoming material when the material enters the chute 100.

The side wall can be integrally formed to form a complete cylindrical structure; the plurality of side walls may be connected to each other to form a cylindrical structure.

The front end slide way 20 and the material guiding part 10 are connected, and the rear end of the front end slide way 20 extends into the material guiding part 10 obliquely and downwards. Through setting up front end slide 20, the material that can be more convenient transmit is received, avoids the material situation that the departure appears in the receiving process to, the rear end slant of front end slide 20 stretches into guide portion 10 down, thereby the material is after breaking away from preceding conveying equipment, also can fall into guide portion 10 based on self gravity, and the process that gets into guide portion 10 has front end slide 20 to lead, makes to fall into more stably.
