Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semi-autogenous mill feeding trolley technology, specifically to an automatically centered semi-autogenous mill feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The feed materials for autogenous and semi-autogenous mills, including ore, water, and steel balls, are transported to the feed trolley hopper via belts or other equipment, and then enter the mill cylinder through the trolley's chute for grinding.

[0003] It is quite laborious to manually push the feeding trolley to the semi-autogenous mill. Generally, the feeding trolley is first pushed onto the trailer, and then the trailer is moved. However, the transfer of the feeding trolley to the trailer also requires manual transfer, and it cannot be guaranteed that the feeding trolley will stop in the middle of the trailer. As a result, when the trailer is moved, the feeding trolley may be pressed against the front or rear due to the center of gravity not being in the middle, which affects the efficiency of the feeding trolley trailer.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This invention provides an automatically centered feeding mechanism for a semi-autogenous mill. When using this device, the trailer is first pushed near the feeding trolley, causing the first rack and gear to mesh. Then, the motor is turned on, driving the first shaft and gear to rotate, thus moving the feeding trolley until the first roller contacts the inclined ladder. At this point, the ball and roller engage, and the first rack and gear disengage. The roller is positioned between the first and second ball, allowing the roller's rotation to drive the ball and propel the feeding trolley up the inclined ladder. The motor continues to drive the first shaft, which in turn drives the second transmission belt, which in turn drives the third and second shafts, thereby rotating the roller, which in turn drives the ball, pulling the feeding trolley up the inclined ladder. As the trolley moves onto the base, it tilts along the inclined ladder, and the ball bearings adaptively change their angle within the arc-shaped groove. Once the trolley reaches the trailer and is level with the base, the second electric push rod is activated to drive the second rack, which in turn rotates the gear ring, causing the hook plate to rotate and reach the side of the pull plate. Then, the first electric push rod is activated to move the moving block, causing the hook plate to adhere to the pull plate and continuously apply tension to it, thus applying tension to the trolley. Finally, when the trolley reaches the middle position of the trailer, the motor and the first electric push rod stop. At this point, the rollers remain engaged with the ball bearings, positioning the trolley. This achieves automatic centering of the trailer onto the trolley.

The second transmission belt 480 passes through the through hole 370a.

[0038] Furthermore, the device also includes a pulling assembly 500, which is mounted on the vertical plate 330 and used in conjunction with the pulling plate 250 to pull the feeding trolley assembly 100 to move. The pulling assembly 500 includes a pulling groove 510 symmetrically formed on the outer wall of the vertical plate 330, a moving block 520 placed in the pulling groove 510, a first electric push rod 530 fixed on the moving block 520, a first connecting plate 530a fixed to the first electric push rod 530 and fixed to the vertical plate 330, a fourth rotating shaft 540 rotatably mounted on the moving block 520, and a toothed ring 550 fixed on the fourth rotating shaft 540.

[0039] Combination Figures 1-5The automatic centering feeding mechanism for a semi-autogenous mill according to this embodiment is used as follows: When using this device, firstly, push the trailer to the vicinity of the feeding trolley, and make the first rack 220 and gear 350 mesh. Then, turn on the motor 360 to drive the first rotating shaft 340 and gear 350 to rotate, driving the feeding trolley to move until the first roller 120 contacts the inclined ladder 320. At this time, the ball 240 and roller 420 are engaged, and the first rack 220 and gear 350 have just finished meshing. The motor 360 continues to drive the first rotating shaft 340 to rotate, which drives the second transmission belt 480 to rotate, driving the third rotating shaft 450 and the second rotating shaft 410 to rotate, thereby driving the roller 420 to rotate, driving the ball 240 to rotate, and pulling the feeding trolley to move onto the base 310. During this movement, the feeding trolley will tilt along the inclined ladder 320, and the ball 240 will be in the arc groove 2 The angle will adaptively change within 30 seconds. When the feeding trolley reaches the trailer and is level with the base 320, the second electric push rod 580 is activated to drive the second rack 590 to move, which drives the gear ring 550 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 560 and the hook plate 560a to rotate, and making the hook plate 560a reach the side of the pull plate 250. The second electric push rod 580 stops, and then the first electric push rod 530 starts to drive the moving block 520 to move, so that the hook plate 560a sticks to the pull plate 250 and continuously applies a pulling force to the pull plate 250, thereby applying a pulling force to the feeding trolley. Finally, when the feeding trolley reaches the middle position of the trailer, the motor 360 and the first electric push rod 530 stop. At this time, the roller 420 cannot rotate and is still stuck on the ball 240 to position the feeding trolley, and the feeding trolley cannot move. Thus, the trailer is automatically aligned with the feeding trolley, without the need for manual pushing of the feeding trolley.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the disclosed embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
