Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental engineering technology, specifically to an optimized device and method for enclosed dust suppression of mobile unloading trolleys. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, unloading trolleys are frequently used in silos and batching rooms in industries such as mining and building materials. These trolleys unload bulk materials into corresponding silos according to their specifications and dimensions, enabling temporary storage in separate compartments to meet the needs of subsequent production processes. During the unloading process, the large drop in elevation causes the unloading trolley to carry a large amount of external air. Simultaneously, the unloading bulk material continuously compresses the internal space of the silo, leading to a continuous increase in the positive pressure of the air inside the silo. Dust mixed in with the bulk material overflows from the unloading ports on both sides of the trolley, causing severely excessive dust concentrations at work sites, greatly impacting the health of inspection personnel. Furthermore, the low visibility and obstructed field of vision create significant safety hazards, and the scattered dust significantly increases the failure rate of electrical control equipment.
[0003] The following solutions are commonly used to address dust generated by material throwing from unloading trolleys:
[0004] (1) "π" sealed. The disadvantages are: unstable operation, high failure rate, long-term operation may cause uneven wear of the wheel hub, or once the conveyor belt is stuck with powder, it is very easy to cause the belt to deviate or slip, which in turn causes the material throwing trolley to overturn.
[0005] (2) Conventional mobile ventilation ducts. The disadvantages are: large air volume required, high energy consumption of the ventilation fan, and large space occupied by the duct. At the same time, long-term use causes the rubber gasket to age and curl, reducing the sealing performance and resulting in a very high air leakage rate. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the right wing plate of the transverse support is provided with bolts of Φ12 to Ф16 and reserved holes for connecting the inverted L-shaped wear-resistant plate. The bolts pass through the reserved holes and are tightened with double nuts to tighten the wear-resistant plate.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides an optimized dust suppression device for a mobile unloading trolley, comprising a main sealed system and a hopper top cover 6 installed above the hopper 23. A steel plate baffle 8 is welded to the surface of the hopper top cover 6, and the bottom of the steel plate baffle 8 is reinforced by stiffening plates 7. An inclined chute 5 is welded to the top of the steel plate baffle 8, and the bottom of the chute 5 extends to the unloading port 4 of the hopper 23, primarily to prevent the conveyor belt 22 from reversing and accumulating material near the steel plate baffle 8. The hopper top cover 6 is fixed by a transverse support 1, located on one side of the unloading port 4. A wear-resistant plate 3 is provided between the unloading port 4 and the transverse support 1 to prevent the transverse support 1 from being impacted by large-diameter loose material. A conveyor belt 22 for transporting loose material 21 is correspondingly installed above the hopper 23. The loose material 21 is transported to the unloading port 4 via the conveyor belt 22. An arc-shaped metal mesh is provided at the outlet of the conveyor belt 22 to limit the unloading angle. 16. To reduce the impact of materials on the steel column 2 and the facade corrugated steel sheet 13; the conveyor belt 22 is also sealed with an arc-shaped chute cover plate 11. As the unloading trolley moves back and forth, the conveyor belt 22 and the arc-shaped chute cover plate 11 repeatedly cross the dust curtain 9, achieving sealing without affecting the movement of the unloading trolley; a dust suction hood 12 is provided above the conveyor belt 22. The dust suction hood 12 connects the dust particles 17 in the main sealed system to the mobile ventilation slot through the air duct 20 for negative pressure dust extraction; the main sealed system is composed of the top cover plate 6 of the silo, the steel column 2, the crossbeam 14, the diagonal tie rod 15, and the corrugated steel sheet 13 covering the outside of the crossbeam 14 and the steel column 2; the dust curtain 9 is suspended on the steel plate at the end of the crossbeam 14 by bolts 18 and nuts 19. Anti-roll plates 10 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 22 to prevent the dust curtain 9 from rolling up to the conveyor belt 22.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the color steel sheet 13 in the main sealed system is provided with a 300mm*300mm plastic plate observation port every 8 to 10m, which serves to allow light to pass through and to observe the unloading blockage. The horizontal included angle β of the inclined tie rod 15 is 30 to 45°. The steel plate welded to the end of the crossbeam 14 has a width of 300 to 400mm. On the one hand, holes can be drilled on it to install bolts 18 to hang the dust curtain 9, and on the other hand, it can intercept the floating dust.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the arc-shaped chute cover 11 can reduce the wear on the dust curtain 9 and the resistance across the dust curtain 9 when the unloading trolley moves back and forth. The arc-shaped metal mesh 16 installed at the unloading end can limit the spray angle of the bulk material, screen larger particle size bulk material, and reduce the collision impact on the support of the steel column 2 and the facade color steel tile 13. The wire diameter of the arc-shaped metal mesh 16 is Ф5~Ф8mm, the screen hole size is 20mm*20mm~50mm*50mm, and it is welded to the side of the belt conveyor head.
[0031] In the above embodiment, the dust curtain 9 is made of flexible rubber sheet. The width of the rubber sheet is rectangular or trapezoidal with a narrow top and a wide bottom. The width of the rubber sheet is 200-300mm, and the overlap width between sheets is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the sheet width. It is fixed to the crossbeam 14 in the main sealed system by pre-welded bolts 18. The lower part of the dust curtain 9 extends 150mm to 250mm beyond the steel plate enclosure 8.
[0032] In the above embodiment, the right wing plate of the transverse support 1 is provided with bolts 18 of Φ12~Ф16 and reserved holes for connecting the inverted L-shaped wear-resistant plate 3. The bolts 18 pass through the reserved holes and are tightened with double nuts 19 to the wear-resistant plate 3. The wear-resistant plate 3 can prevent the impact and collision of loose material on the lower transverse support 1, and fixing it with bolts 18 makes it convenient to replace the wear-resistant plate 3 later.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the anti-roll-up plate 10 is made of PVC material, with a thickness of 3-4mm, a width of 500mm-800mm, and a height exceeding the lower return belt of the transfer belt 22 by 250mm-450mm. It is fixed to both sides of the transfer belt 22 to prevent the dust curtain 9 from rolling onto the return belt. At the same time, the use of PVC material can reduce weight and reduce the impact on the stability of the unloading trolley.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the steel plate enclosure 8 is made of 10-15mm thick Q235 steel plate, and its height is 200mm-300mm. Stiffening plates 7 are set every 10-15m on both sides. The chute 5 is made of 5mm thick Q235 steel plate. The slope α of the chute 5 extending from the top of the steel plate enclosure 8 to the unloading port 4 is ≥ the angle of repose of the loose material. This is mainly to prevent the return conveyor belt from carrying fine powder and accumulating it at the metal baffle, which would accumulate and thicken, affecting the stable operation of the unloading trolley.
[0035] To further explain the embodiments of the present invention, a method for optimizing the closed dust suppression of a mobile unloading trolley is also provided, comprising the following steps:
[0036] Step 1: Bulk material 21 is transported to unloading port 4 via conveyor belt 22 and temporarily stored in silo 23;
[0037] Step 2: Dust particles 17 generated during the unloading process float along both sides of the unloading port 4 and are sucked in by the dust hood 12 and connected to the mobile ventilation slot via the air duct 20 for negative pressure dust extraction.
[0038] Industrial application verification in a large steel plant's coke silo demonstrates that the optimized mobile unloading trolley dust suppression device and method of the present invention, after adopting the above technical solution, has the following positive effects:
[0039] (1) The dust suppression effect is obvious, and the dust concentration in the workplace is reduced by 70%-80%;
[0040] (2) Simple maintenance, stable operation, good safety, low failure rate, and low engineering cost;
[0041] (3) The air volume required for dust suppression during unloading is reduced by 30%-40%, and the energy consumption of the ventilation fan is reduced by 15%-20%.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but 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 inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
