Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chute technology, and in particular to a replaceable modular chute device. Background Technology

[0002] A sluice is a channel on the ground that transports goods from a higher to a lower elevation. It has a smooth inner surface, allowing goods to slide down automatically (e.g., a sluice for washing gold-bearing ore or a sloping trough for carrying logs). It is mainly used in small open-pit mines. In large and medium-sized open-pit mines, sluices are often used in conjunction with ore passes. They can be located within or outside the mining area.

[0003] Because the existing chute adopts a one-piece design, when the liner is worn during the use of the chute, it cannot be repaired by replacement. It is non-replaceable. At the same time, the staff needs to enter the inside of the chute to replace the liner. It cannot be replaced directly from the outside. Not only is the replacement difficult, but it also poses a serious safety hazard. In addition, the existing chute structure is not interchangeable. When the same type of part is worn, it cannot be replaced. Furthermore, it is difficult for the staff to detect the damage to the liner inside the chute from the outside. As a result, the liner is not repaired in time, which causes damage to falling objects.

[0004] In response, the applicant proposed a replaceable modular chute device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem that existing chute liners cannot be repaired by replacement, are non-replaceable, and require workers to enter the chute interior for replacement, making external replacement difficult and posing serious safety hazards. Furthermore, existing chute structures lack interchangeability; when the same type of component wears out, it cannot be replaced. Additionally, it is difficult for workers to detect damage to the liner inside the chute from the outside, leading to delayed liner repairs and potential damage to falling objects. In contrast, this application provides a replaceable modular chute device. The chute is divided into symmetrically arranged upper and lower plates and side plates, with multiple bolts installed between the upper and lower plates and the side plates. The chute is characterized by: multiple lining plates installed on the inner walls of the multiple chutes; square suction cups installed on the inner side walls of the lining plates; magnetic blocks fixedly connected to the square suction cups; two damping tubes fixedly connected to the lining plates and inserted inside the chute; a connecting spring sleeved on the damping tubes fixedly connected between the chute and the lining plates; the damping tubes include an insert fixedly connected to the lining plate and a limiting tube slidably connected inside the chute; a flexible hose fixedly connected between the limiting tube and the insert; and multiple warning devices installed on the side walls of the chute.

[0006] The design, featuring spliced ​​upper and lower plates and side plates, solves the problems of existing chutes being unable to be replaced after wear, lacking interchangeability, and facing difficulties in internal replacement. Combined with an alert mechanism, it serves as a warning when linings within multiple upper and lower plates and side plates are damaged, facilitating timely replacement and preventing obstruction of falling objects. Furthermore, the reflective film on the alert box attracts the attention of workers when the box is shaken, prompting timely replacement and repair. Additionally, when the alert mechanism is triggered, the push rod retracts a short distance within the magnetic block, and simultaneously pressing the switch button causes the ring light to emit light that penetrates the damaged area of ​​the lining. By observing the intensity of the light, the extent of the lining damage can be determined, helping workers prepare for repair and replacement.

[0007] Optionally, a damping sleeve is fitted onto the hose, which can effectively buffer the movement of the liner by utilizing the friction between the hose and the chute.

[0008] Optionally, a protective cloth is fixedly connected to the side wall of the liner near the square suction cup, and an elastic sealant is bonded between the liner and the square suction cup to provide a seal. At the same time, the elasticity of the sealant can extend the movement distance of the magnetic block after the liner is damaged, which is beneficial to triggering the reminder.

[0009] Optionally, the reminder includes a tube, an internally sliding reminder box, an internally sliding rod, and the rod being inserted into the tube. A connecting rope is fixedly connected between the two rods. A thrust spring is fixedly connected between the reminder box and the chute. A top rod is installed on the lower side wall of the magnetic block. This can remind the staff that the current liner is damaged, prompting them to replace or repair it in a timely manner.

[0010] Optionally, the surface of the reminder box is coated with a reflective film, and an impact ball is placed inside the reminder box to visually attract the attention of staff and achieve a further reminder effect.

[0011] Optionally, the top rod is slidably connected inside the magnetic block, a ring light is installed on the magnetic block, and an elastic pull rope is fixedly connected between the top rod and the magnetic block.

[0012] Optionally, a switch button is installed inside the magnetic block on the top side of the top rod, and the switch button is electrically connected to the ring light, so that the staff can judge the degree of damage to the liner from inside the chute by the size of the light.

[0013] Optionally, the square suction cup is made of a light-transmitting material, and the protective cloth is made of a light-transmitting fabric. The light-transmitting fabric has a light-scattering effect, thereby expanding the range of light reaching the lining plate, which helps workers judge the degree of damage to the lining plate by the amount of light.

[0014] Optionally, the reminder box, magnetic block, and impact ball are magnetically attracted to each other, which can be used to control the movement of the magnetic block, while preventing the impact ball from shaking and making noise due to the vibration of the chute during normal use.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0016] (1) This solution solves the problems of existing chutes being unable to be replaced after wear, lacking interchangeability, and being difficult to replace internally by using a splicing design of upper and lower plates and side plates. With the addition of a reminder device, it can serve as a reminder when the lining plates in multiple upper and lower plates and side plates are damaged, so as to facilitate timely replacement and avoid affecting the guidance of falling objects. At the same time, with the reflective film on the reminder box, it can attract the attention of the staff when the reminder box is shaken, prompting the staff to replace and repair in time. In addition, when the reminder device is triggered, the top rod itself will retract a certain distance inside the magnetic block. At the same time, the switch button is pressed, so that the ring light emits light and penetrates the damaged area of ​​the lining plate. By observing the size of the light, the degree of damage to the lining plate can be judged, which is helpful for the staff to prepare for repair and replacement.

[0017] (2) A damping sleeve is fitted on the hose, which can effectively buffer the movement of the liner by utilizing the friction between the hose and the chute.

[0018] (3) A protective cloth is fixedly connected to the side wall of the liner near the square suction cup. Elastic sealant is bonded between the liner and the square suction cup, which can play a sealing role. At the same time, after the liner is damaged, the elasticity of the sealant can extend the movement distance of the magnetic block, which is beneficial to triggering the reminder.

[0019] (4) The reminder includes a tube, a reminder box is slidably connected inside the reminder, a rod is slidably connected inside the reminder box and the rod is inserted into the tube, a connecting rope is fixedly connected between the two rods, a thrust spring is fixedly connected between the reminder box and the chute, and a top rod is installed on the lower side wall of the magnetic block, which can remind the staff that the current liner is damaged and prompt the staff to replace and repair it in time.

[0020] (5) The surface of the reminder box is covered with reflective film and an impact ball is placed inside the reminder box, which can visually attract the attention of the staff and achieve a further reminder effect.

[0021] (6) The top rod is slidably connected inside the magnetic block. A ring light is installed on the magnetic block. An elastic pull rope is fixedly connected between the top rod and the magnetic block.

[0022] (7) A switch button is installed inside the magnetic block on the top of the push rod, and the switch button is electrically connected to the ring light, so that the staff can judge the degree of damage to the liner from the inside of the chute by the size of the light.

[0023] (8) The square suction cup is made of light-transmitting material and the protective cloth is made of light-transmitting fabric. The light-transmitting fabric has a light-scattering effect, thereby expanding the range of light shining on the lining plate, which helps the staff to judge the degree of damage to the lining plate by the size of the light.

[0024] (9) The magnetic attraction between the reminder box, the magnetic block and the impact ball can be used to control the movement of the magnetic block, while avoiding the impact ball from shaking and making noise due to the vibration of the chute during normal use.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] This application discloses a replaceable modular chute device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2-5 The system includes multiple chutes 1, each chute 1 consisting of symmetrically arranged upper and lower plates 11 and side plates 12. Multiple bolts 13 are installed between the upper and lower plates 11 and the side plates 12. Multiple liners 2 are installed on the inner walls of the multiple chutes 1. Square suction cups 21 are installed on the inner side walls of the liners 2. Magnetic blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the square suction cups 21. Two damping tubes 23 inserted into the inside of the chutes 1 are fixedly connected to the liners 2. A connecting spring 24 sleeved on the damping tube 23 is fixedly connected between the chutes 1 and the liners 2. The damping tube 23 includes an insertion tube 231 fixedly connected to the liners 2 and a limiting tube 232 slidably connected inside the chutes 1. A flexible hose 233 is fixedly connected between the limiting tube 232 and the insertion tube 231. Multiple reminder pieces 3 are installed on the side walls of the chutes 1. A damping sleeve is sleeved on the flexible hose 233.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 The chute 1, which is assembled from multiple upper and lower plates 11 and side plates 12, has the advantage that, compared to existing chute linings, when the lining plate 2 is worn, maintenance personnel can remove the worn upper and lower plates 11 or side plates 12, thus solving the problems of the chute lining not being replaceable after wear, the lack of interchangeability in replacement, and the difficulty of internal replacement.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 When an object is transported in chute 1, it may fall and impact the inner lining plate 2 of chute 1, causing the lining plate 2 to retract. Figure 6 As shown, the liner 2 drives the damping tube 23 to move. By utilizing the retraction of the connecting spring 24 and the friction between the hose 233 and the chute 1, the liner 2 is effectively buffered. On the one hand, this reduces the wear caused by the impact of the object on the liner 2. On the other hand, it can reduce the rebound distance of the object after impacting the liner 2 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the number of impacts of the object on the liner 2 to a certain extent, and further reducing the wear caused by the impact of the object on the liner 2. At the same time, the two limit tubes 232 move closer to each other, blocking the magnetic block 22 from moving further down and triggering the reminder 3.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Please see Figure 7-9Compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment mainly adds a reminder component 3, which can remind workers when the lining 2 in the multiple upper and lower plates 11 and side plates 12 is severely damaged, so that workers can replace it in time to avoid causing greater damage and affecting the guidance of falling objects. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0043] The reminder component 3 includes a tube 31, a reminder box 32 slidably connected inside the reminder component 3, a rod 33 slidably connected inside the reminder box 32 and inserted into the tube 31, a connecting rope 34 fixedly connected between the two rods 33, a thrust spring 35 fixedly connected between the reminder box 32 and the chute 1, a top rod 36 installed on the lower side wall of the magnetic block 22, a reflective film adhered to the surface of the reminder box 32, an impact ball 37 placed inside the reminder box 32, the top rod 36 slidably connected inside the magnetic block 22, a ring light 221 installed on the magnetic block 22, an elastic pull rope 222 fixedly connected between the top rod 36 and the magnetic block 22, and the reminder box 32, the magnetic block 22 and the impact ball 37 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0044] When liner 2 is damaged due to wear, such as Figure 7 As shown, air enters through the damaged area of ​​the liner 2. At this time, the magnetic block 22 moves downward under the action of the magnetic force, causing the push rod 36 to push the connecting rope 34 to bend, which in turn pulls the plug rods 33 at both ends of the connecting rope 34, causing the reminder box 32 to lose its limit. Finally, under the action of the thrust spring 35, the reminder box 32 is pushed out. At the same time, the impact ball 37 located inside the reminder box 32 rolls with the shaking of the reminder box 32 after losing its magnetic restraint, and hits the side wall of the reminder box 32 to make a sound, thereby reminding the staff that the liner 2 is damaged. When an object hits the chute 1, the vibration will be transmitted to the reminder box 32 through the thrust spring 35, thus playing a continuous sound reminder role. At the same time, with the reflective film on the reminder box 32, it can also visually attract the attention of the staff when the reminder box 32 shakes, which is conducive to the staff to replace and repair in time.

[0045] The magnetic block 22 has a switch button 223 installed inside, located on the top rod 36, and the switch button 223 is electrically connected to the ring light 221. A protective cloth 211 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the liner 2 near the square suction cup 21. Elastic sealant is bonded between the liner 2 and the square suction cup 21. The square suction cup 21 is made of light-transmitting material, and the protective cloth 211 is made of light-transmitting fabric.

[0046] As the push rod 36 pushes the connecting rope 34, the push rod 36 itself will retract a certain distance inside the magnetic block 22. At the same time, the switch button 223 is pressed, turning on the ring light 221. The light generated by the ring light 221 shines through the protective cloth 211 onto the liner 2, allowing the light to penetrate the damaged area of ​​the liner 2. This makes it easier for the staff to judge the degree of damage to the liner 2 from inside the chute 1 by the size of the light, which is beneficial for the staff to prepare for maintenance and replacement.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concepts, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
