Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of scraper machines, and in particular to a tensioning device for scraper machines. Background Art

[0002] Scraper is a transport machine used in coal mining working face. It is mainly used for coal mining working face and mining area chute transportation, and can also be used in coal tunnel and semi-coal rock tunnel excavation working face. However, it is very difficult to tension it according to actual work needs or remove the excess chain link.

[0003] In the related technology, a chain pincher is usually used for pinching and splicing. The process is to insert one end of the chain pincher into the round holes on the left and right side plates of the machine head frame respectively, and the other end into the vertical rings at the symmetrical position of the circular chain on both sides. Start the machine in reverse, turn the slack chain to the machine head, remove the excess chain at the moment of stopping, connect the circular chain, and then remove the chain pincher.

[0004] Taking the blasting working face as an example, under normal circumstances, the chain needs to be spliced ​​once every certain period of time, and the chain splicing requires very high ignition skills from the scraper driver. The chain splicers on both sides of the machine head must react quickly and cooperate well with the scraper driver. If the cooperation is improper, the chain splicing may cause hands to touch accidentally, thus posing a greater safety hazard.

The tension of the scraper chain is adjusted by the screw to achieve the purpose of adjusting the tension of the scraper chain. Although the above device solves the problem that the scraper chain is difficult to tension and adjust, the adjustment time needs to be monitored by workers and the adjustment process needs to be controlled by workers, which may cause the chain tension adjustment to lag or insufficient tension. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 , further details of this application are given.

[0027] Embodiment 1: A tensioning device for a scraper, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a slider 2 arranged on the tail housing 1, the tail housing 1 is provided with an adjustment slot 11 arranged along the length direction of the tail housing 1, and the slider 2 is slidably connected in the adjustment slot 11. The sprocket 3 in the scraper is rotatably connected to the slider 2. The tail housing 1 is provided with an adjustment component for changing the position of the slider 2 and a detection device 4 for detecting the tension of the chain.

[0028] The adjusting device 5 includes a hydraulic cylinder 51 and a tensioning master station, which is not shown in the figure. The tensioning master station is a controller and can be used to control the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 51. The tensioning master station is electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder 51. The hydraulic cylinder 51 is fixedly connected in the adjusting chute 11, and the extension and retraction direction of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is parallel to the opening direction of the adjusting chute 11. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the slider 2.

[0029] The detection device 4 includes a pressure sensor 42 and a displacement sensor 41. The pressure sensor 42 is used to detect the pressure between the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 51 and the slider 2, and the displacement sensor 41 is used to detect the moving distance of the slider 2 in the adjustment slot 11. The pressure sensor 42 is fixedly connected between the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 51 and the slider 2, and the displacement sensor 41 is installed in the adjustment slot 11 and passes through the slider 2 and is slidably connected to the slider 2. The tensioning master station is electrically connected to both the pressure sensor 42 and the displacement sensor 41.

[0030] A tensioning device for a scraper conveyor also includes a monitoring center for monitoring the tail casing 1 , and the monitoring center is used to present a picture of the tail casing 1 .

[0031] The implementation principle of the embodiment 1 of the present application is as follows: when in use, the pressure of the chain on the sprocket 3 can be detected by the pressure sensor 42, thereby detecting the tension of the chain, and transmitting the information to the tensioning master station. When the chain is loose, the extension length of the hydraulic cylinder 51 can be controlled by the tensioning master station, thereby adjusting the position of the slider 2 in the adjusting chute 11, thereby timely tensioning the chain, and at the same time, the tensioning state of the chain can be monitored in real time through the monitoring center.

[0032] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that: Figure 3 Two adjusting slots 11 are provided on the tail housing 1, and sliders 2 are slidably connected in the two adjusting slots 11. Sprockets 3 are rotatably connected to the sliders 2, and the sprockets 3 are meshed with the chain.

[0033] The tail housing 1 is provided with a detection slot 12, which is placed between the two adjustment slots 11. The detection device 4 includes a detection block 43 slidably connected in the detection slot 12, and two detection wheels 44 are rotatably connected to the detection block 43, and both detection wheels 44 abut against the chain. A detection spring 45 is fixedly connected between the inner side wall of the detection slot 12 and the detection block 43, and under the action of the detection spring 45, the detection wheel 44 abuts against the chain.

[0034] Therefore, when the chain is loose, the elastic force of the detection spring 45 can make the detection wheel 44 and the chain press tightly together, which has a preliminary tensioning effect on the chain.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjusting device 5 includes a support plate 52 disposed on one side of the tail housing 1, and the support plate 52 and the tail housing 1 are located in the same plane. An electromagnet 54 is fixedly connected to the support plate 52, and an iron plate 55 is disposed between the electromagnet 54 and the tail housing 1. Two sliding holes 551 are provided on the iron plate 55, and two guide wheels 56 are disposed in the sliding holes 551 and the guide wheels 56 are rotatably connected to the iron plate 55. A sliding rod 521 is passed through the sliding hole 551, and the sliding hole 551 is fixedly connected to the support plate 52, and the guide wheels 56 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 521. Thus, the iron plate 55 is slidably connected to the support plate 52 through the guide wheels 56 and the sliding rod 521.

[0036] A connecting rod 53 is fixedly connected between the iron plate 55 and the two sliders 2. A wire for energizing the electromagnet 54 is provided on the support plate 52, and the wire is not shown in the figure. A switch 57 for controlling whether the electromagnet 54 is energized is installed on the wire. The adjustment device 5 also includes a control component 58 for controlling the switch 57 to be turned on.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The control component 58 includes a magnetic blocking plate 581, which is set to a material with good magnetic isolation effect such as a wooden board or a rubber board, and the magnetic blocking plate 581 is placed between the electromagnet 54 and the iron plate 55. The magnetic blocking plate 581 can reduce the adsorption force between the electromagnet 54 and the iron plate 55 when the electromagnet 54 is not energized. A plurality of guide rods 8 are fixedly connected to the support plate 52, and the guide rods 8 are arranged along the length direction of the magnetic blocking plate 581, and the magnetic blocking plate 581 passes through the guide rods 8 and is slidably connected in the plurality of guide rods 8. An abutment block 582 is fixedly connected to the magnetic blocking plate 581, and the abutment block 582 is used to turn on the switch 57. A foundation pit 6 is opened on the ground directly below the magnetic blocking plate 581. A limiting plate 583 for supporting the magnetic blocking plate 581 is provided at the lower end of the magnetic blocking plate 581 , the upper end of the limiting plate 583 abuts against the lower end of the magnetic blocking plate 581 , and a transmission rod 584 is fixedly connected between the limiting plate 583 and the detection block 43 .

[0038] Buffer plates 7 are provided on both inner side walls of the foundation pit 6 to reduce the descending speed of the magnetic blocking plate 581. The sides of the two buffer plates 7 that are close to each other are set as inclined surfaces, and the upper ends of the two buffer plates 7 are inclined toward the sides that are away from each other. A buffer spring 71 is fixedly connected between the buffer plate 7 and the inner wall of the foundation pit 6.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when the magnetic blocking plate 581 enters the foundation pit 6, the magnetic blocking plate 581 can be abutted by the buffer plate 7 and the falling speed of the buffer plate 7 in the foundation pit 6 can be reduced.

[0040] The implementation principle of the second embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the detection spring 45 is extended to a certain extent, the limit plate 583 will cancel the contact with the magnetic blocking plate 581, and then the magnetic blocking plate 581 will fall under the limiting effect of the guide rod 8 until it falls into the foundation pit 6 under the buffering effect of the buffer plate 7. When the magnetic blocking plate 581 is placed in the foundation pit 6, the contact block 582 will contact and press the switch 57, and turn on the switch 57, so that the electromagnet 54 is energized, so that the electromagnet 54 adsorbs the iron plate 55. As a result, the iron plate 55 moves along the slide bar 521 toward the side of the electromagnet 54, and then the iron plate 55 drives the slider 2 to move toward the side of the electromagnet 54 through the connecting rod 53, so that the slider 2 and the sprocket 3 move toward the side of the iron plate 55 to tighten the chain.

[0041] The embodiments of this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
