Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal drop pipe coal overflow protection, and in particular to a coal drop pipe coal overflow protection device. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of fuel transportation and coal unloading in power plants, coal overflow from the coal pipe at the head of the coal conveyor belt often occurs. This problem is usually caused by factors such as changes in coal quality. At present, the mechanical blocking switch installed in the coal pipe is the main means of detecting coal overflow. The working principle of the switch is: when the amount of coal in the coal pipe increases and squeezes the switch, the vertically suspended switch deviates from the vertical position by more than 25 degrees due to external force, triggering the internal contact action, causing the belt conveyor control circuit to be disconnected, thereby stopping the belt. However, the existing technology has the following limitations:

[0003] Single-sided installation of the blockage switch: The blockage switch is only installed on one side of the coal drop pipe, resulting in the inability to detect coal accumulation starting from the other side, which may eventually overflow and the blockage switch cannot provide protection.

[0004] Angle detection limitation: When coal gradually accumulates in the coal drop pipe and hits the blocking switch, due to the coal accumulation on both sides of the blocking switch, the angle of the switch deviating from the vertical position is insufficient and the protection action cannot be triggered.

[0005] These limitations result in the existing blocking switches being unable to effectively prevent coal spillage in some cases, which may cause the entire coal handling system to shut down for a long time, seriously affecting production operations. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0030] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a coal drop pipe coal overflow protection device, including a coal receiving assembly 100 and a hanging assembly 200. The coal receiving assembly 100 includes a coal receiving box 101 for receiving coal overflow from the coal drop pipe; the hanging assembly 200 includes a pull rope 201, one end of the pull rope 201 is connected to the coal receiving box 101, and the other end of the pull rope 201 is connected to the emergency stop switch of the belt coal conveyor.

[0033] Furthermore, the coal receiving box 101 is arranged on the side of the belt coal conveyor directly below the coal dropping pipe. The coal receiving box 101 is provided with a coal receiving trough 101a with an opening at the top. When the coal dropping pipe overflows with coal, a large amount of coal blocks fall from the outlet of the coal dropping pipe onto the belt coal conveyor. The belt coal conveyor cannot receive all the falling coal blocks. Some coal blocks fall from both sides of the belt coal conveyor and fall into the coal receiving trough 101a of the coal receiving box 101. As the number of coal blocks in the coal receiving trough 101a increases, the total weight of the coal receiving box 101 and the coal blocks increases, and the impact force of the coal blocks falling on the coal box 101 causes the coal receiving box 101 to tend to move downward, and the emergency stop switch of the belt coal conveyor is pulled by the pull rope 201, causing the belt coal conveyor to stop running.

[0034] Furthermore, the suspension assembly 200 further includes a static pulley 202 and a pulley bracket 203. One end of the pulley bracket 203 is fixedly connected to a side housing of the belt coal conveyor, and the static pulley 202 is movably mounted on the pulley bracket 203. When in use, the pull rope 201 is passed through the static pulley 202, and the static pulley 202 pulls the pull rope 201, and cooperates with the pull rope 201 to suspend the coal receiving box 101 in mid-air.

[0035] Specifically, the coal receiving box 101 is a cylindrical box body with a regular polygonal or circular bottom surface. Figure 1 As shown, the coal receiving box 101 is a columnar box with a square bottom.

[0036] Specifically, the coal receiving chute 101a includes a columnar section 101a-1 and a conical section 101a-2. The columnar section 101a-1 is arranged along the axial direction of the coal receiving box 101 and one end away from the conical section 101a-2 is the opening of the coal receiving box 101. Figure 1 As shown, the design of the cone section 101a-2 can make the coal blocks entering the coal receiving chute 101a quickly converge to the center, avoiding the accumulation of coal blocks on one side, causing the coal receiving box 101 suspended in the air to shake and unable to receive subsequent falling coal, thereby causing the total weight of the coal receiving box 101 and the coal blocks in the box to never exceed the critical value of pulling the emergency stop switch, making it impossible for the belt coal conveyor to stop operating; or avoiding the accumulation of coal blocks on one side, causing the coal receiving box 101 to tilt, that is, the top opening of the coal receiving box 101 is tilted, causing the coal blocks to be ejected after entering the coal receiving chute 101a, thereby causing the total weight of the coal receiving box 101 and the coal blocks in the box to never exceed the critical value of pulling the emergency stop switch, making it impossible for the belt coal conveyor to stop operating.

[0037] Specifically, one end of the pull rope 201 connected to the coal receiving box 101 is tied to the bottom center of the coal receiving trough 101a.

[0038] Specifically, the pull rope 201 is a flexible steel wire rope.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 , which is a second embodiment of the present invention, provides a coal drop pipe coal overflow protection device, including a coal receiving assembly 100 and a suspension assembly 200.

[0041] Furthermore, the coal receiving assembly 100 includes a coal receiving box 101 with a coal receiving trough 101a inside and an opening at the top. The coal receiving box 101 is arranged on one side of the belt coal conveyor directly below the coal dropping pipe to receive coal overflowing from the coal dropping pipe.

[0042] Furthermore, a spring telescopic rod 102 is provided on the top of the coal receiving box 101, and the spring telescopic rod 102 is evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the coal receiving box 101, and one end of the spring telescopic rod 102 is hinged to the coal receiving box 101. Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the coal receiving box 101 is a columnar box with a square bottom and an open top. There are four spring telescopic rods 102 which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the top of the coal receiving box 101 .

[0043] Furthermore, the coal receiving assembly 100 also includes a suspension ring 103 and a connecting rope 104 tied to the suspension ring 103. The number of the connecting ropes 104 is the same as the number of the spring telescopic rods 102, and one end of the connecting rope 104 away from the suspension ring 103 is tied to the movable end of the adjacent spring telescopic rod 102.

[0044] Furthermore, the suspension assembly 200 includes a pull rope 201, a static pulley 202, and a pulley bracket 203; wherein, one end of the pulley bracket 203 is fixedly connected to a side shell of the belt coal conveyor, the static pulley 202 is movably mounted on the pulley bracket 203, one end of the pull rope 201 passes through the static pulley 202 and is connected to the emergency stop switch of the belt coal conveyor, and the other end of the pull rope 201 is tied to the suspension ring 103, thereby suspending the coal receiving assembly 100 in mid-air.

[0045] Specifically, when in use, the coal receiving box 101 is arranged on the side of the belt coal conveyor directly below the coal drop pipe with the opening facing upwards, and the pull rope 201, the static pulley 202, and the pulley bracket 203 cooperate with each other to suspend the coal receiving box 101 in mid-air; when the coal drop pipe overflows, the coal blocks overflowing from the side of the belt coal conveyor are received, and as the number of coal blocks in the coal receiving trough 101a increases, the total weight of the coal receiving box 101 and the coal blocks in the box increases, and then the emergency stop switch of the belt coal conveyor is pulled by the pull rope 201 to stop the operation of the belt coal conveyor. Figure 2 and 6 As shown, by cooperating with the suspension ring 103 and the four sets of connecting ropes 104, the tension between the four sets of connecting ropes 104 and the coal receiving box 101 is used to keep the coal receiving box 101 suspended in balance, so that the coal receiving box 101 can remain stable under certain wind force and certain vibration. Figure 2 and 6 As shown, by providing the spring telescopic rod 102, a buffering effect is played to prevent the falling coal block from having too much impact force on the coal box 101, causing the connecting rope 104 or the pull rope 201 to break.

[0046] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Reference Figure 3 to Figure 5, which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: a hanging sleeve 104a is provided at one end of the connecting rope 104 away from the suspension ring 103, and a hanging groove 102a is provided at the movable end of the spring telescopic rod 102; the hanging sleeve 104a can be sleeved on the hanging groove 102a of the spring telescopic rod 102, and the connecting rope 104 is tightened, such as Figure 5 Specifically, the hanging sleeve 104a cooperates with the hanging groove 102a to make the coal receiving box 101 more quickly disassembled, so that it is convenient to remove the coal receiving box 101 after the belt coal conveyor stops operating, thereby facilitating the pouring out of the coal blocks in the coal receiving box 101.

[0049] Furthermore, a rope buckle 105 is provided on the connecting rope 104 for adjusting the length of the connecting rope 104. Figure 3 As shown, by setting the rope buckle 105, the length of the connecting rope 104 can be flexibly adjusted, that is, the inclination angle of the coal receiving box 101 is adjusted to change the angle at which the coal blocks enter the coal receiving box 101. Figure 4 As shown, by setting the rope buckle 105 and changing the relative length of the connecting ropes 104 on both sides, the coal receiving box 101 is moved laterally, and the position of the coal receiving box 101 is adjusted to ensure that the coal blocks can fall into the coal receiving trough 101a of the coal receiving box 101.

[0050] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0051] In summary, the present invention provides an additional coal overflow protection device on the basis of retaining the original mechanical blocking switch. Through the cooperation between the coal receiving assembly 100 and the suspension assembly 200, when the amount of coal in the coal drop pipe increases and overflows, the coal receiving assembly 100 can receive the overflowed coal blocks in time, and under the action of gravity, the pull rope 201 in the suspension assembly 200 can quickly pull the emergency stop switch of the belt coal conveyor to stop the belt from running, thereby avoiding coal block accumulation and further coal overflow. When the mechanical blocking switch fails, it can serve as the last line of defense to prevent coal overflow accidents.
