Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mine machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to a central trough for a thin coal seam scraper conveyor and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Scraper conveyors are the main transportation equipment in underground coal mining faces. The central trough, as the core component and main part of the scraper conveyor, has a structure whose rationality affects the service life of the scraper conveyor. When the scraper conveyor is working in thin coal seams, the working space is limited, so the height of the central trough needs to be reduced. This reduces the welding space of the central trough, increases the difficulty of welding operations, reduces the welding quality, and affects the carrying capacity and service life of the central trough. At the same time, due to the different welding properties between different materials, the welding internal stress cannot be eliminated, making the middle plate and bottom plate of the central trough prone to detachment or breakage, affecting the normal use of the scraper conveyor, and even causing production stoppage.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the technical solution disclosed in the Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. CN201320485173.8 is a multi-channel, integrally cast, wear-resistant central trough. This invention solves the problem of integrating the transport chain channel, the transport chain of the chain-driven coal mining system, and the moving cable channel of the coal mining machine's towing cable system during operation. It includes a central trough body, with chain-driven coal mining machine skid tracks on the upper sides of both sides. The upper and lower sections of the central trough body are respectively the upper and lower channels for the transport chain. The left side of the central trough body contains two layers of moving cable channels for the towing cable system, with a support pushing and connecting device on the outside of these channels. The right side of the central trough body contains the lower and upper channels for the traction chain, and a coal shovel plate is located at the bottom right side of the central trough body. This invention's integral casting method reduces the welding space required for welding equipment, making the equipment structure more compact and lowering the overall height. The equipment can be widely used in medium-thick coal seams and even thin coal seams.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technology has the following technical problems: the lower channel and the upper channel of the traction chain of the multi-channel, wear-resistant integral cast central trough are both in a closed state. When replacing the traction chain, maintenance personnel need to go to the coal wall side or stand on the central trough to operate, which increases the safety risk of maintenance personnel. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions and effects of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In a first aspect, the present invention provides a central trough 10 for a thin coal seam scraper conveyor, comprising a central trough assembly 20 and a pushing trough assembly 30. The central trough assembly 20 includes a central plate 21, a bottom plate 22, baffle trough sides 23, shovel trough sides 24, a connecting member 25, a first lower chain cylinder 26, and an upper chain track 27. The baffle trough sides 23 and shovel trough sides 24 are respectively disposed on both sides of the central plate 21, and the bottom plate 22 is located below the central plate 21. The two sides of the bottom plate 22 are respectively connected to the baffle trough sides 23 and the shovel trough sides 24. 4. Connection: One end of the connector 25 is connected to the side of the baffle groove 23 facing away from the middle plate 21, and the other end is connected to the first lower chain cylinder 26. The first lower chain cylinder 26 has chain changing ports 262 on both sides and the bottom surface. The push groove assembly 30 is used to install on the chain changing port 262 to form a complete lower chain track with the first lower chain cylinder 26. The upper chain track 27 is located above the first lower chain cylinder 26. The push groove assembly 30 is used to install on the chain changing port 262 to form a complete lower chain track with the first lower chain cylinder 26.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 Furthermore, the upper chain track 27 includes a first upper chain cylinder 271 and a second upper chain cylinder 272. Both the first upper chain cylinder 271 and the second upper chain cylinder 272 are semi-cylinders. The first upper chain cylinder 271 is located above the first lower chain cylinder 26, and the second upper chain cylinder 272 is used to be installed on the first upper chain cylinder 271 to form a complete upper chain track 27.

[0034] Furthermore, the middle plate 21, bottom plate 22, baffle groove side 23, shovel groove side 24, connector 25, first lower chain cylinder 26 and first upper chain cylinder 271 are integrally cast, and the pusher groove assembly 30 is integrally cast, so as to reduce the production steps of the middle groove assembly 20 and increase the production speed; at the same time, by connecting the first lower chain cylinder 26 and the first upper chain cylinder 271 to the middle plate 21, bottom plate 22, baffle groove side 23 and shovel groove side 24 through connector 25, the deformation resistance of the casting can be improved.

[0035] In this embodiment, compared to welding and casting technology, the following advantages are achieved:

[0036] 1. The use of integral casting technology can increase the strength, rigidity, wear resistance and load-bearing capacity of castings;

[0037] 2. It can be cast in one piece without complicated processing later. The process is relatively simple and suitable for mass production of the same part.

[0038] 3. It saves production steps, reduces the number of welders, and mitigates the health hazards to workers.

[0039] Furthermore, the middle groove assembly 20 also includes a maintenance plate 28, and the top of the connector 25 has a maintenance port 251 for maintenance of the lower chain track. The maintenance plate 28 is installed on the maintenance port 251.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the top surface of the middle plate 21 is uniformly provided with at least two wear-resistant grooves 211, and the wear-resistant grooves 211 do not contact each other, and none of the wear-resistant grooves 211 contact the baffle groove side 23 or the shovel groove side 24; thus, it can prevent through cracks generated during wear-resistant treatment of the casting; it can reduce the lateral transmission of vibration; since the chain track of the middle plate 21 is easily worn, more wear allowance can be reserved; one end of the middle plate 21 is provided with an overlapping plate 212, and the other end is provided with an overlapping groove 213. The overlapping plate 212 is used to connect with the overlapping groove 213 of the middle trough 10 of the adjacent thin coal seam scraper conveyor, so as to improve the overlapping accuracy between the middle troughs 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor and avoid the scraping and jamming phenomenon of the scraper when running on the middle plate 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, each wear-resistant groove 211 adopts a sinusoidal curve structure. This is because the central groove 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor is a dual-channel system, including a scraper chain channel and a coal mining machine traction chain channel. During the operation of the equipment, these two chains of different specifications will generate excitation self-vibration, which will eventually converge at the central groove 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor, resulting in double-chain resonance or resonance with the central groove 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor. The sinusoidal curve structure of the wear-resistant groove 211 can offset the vibration transmission generated by the scraper conveyor chain during operation in the scraper chain channel, preventing resonance. At the same time, coal powder will fill the wear-resistant groove 211, which will play a lubricating role during the transportation of coal.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 Furthermore, a limiting plate 241 is provided at the top of the side of the shovel trough 24 facing away from the middle plate 21 to prevent the coal mining machine from overturning during its movement.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 Furthermore, one end of the baffle trough 23 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 231, and the other end is provided with a first positioning groove 232. The first positioning protrusion 231 is used to connect with the first positioning groove 232 of the adjacent thin coal seam scraper conveyor middle trough 10; one end of the shovel trough 24 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 242, and the other end is provided with a second positioning groove 243. The second positioning protrusion 242 is used to connect with the second positioning groove 243 of the adjacent thin coal seam scraper conveyor middle trough 10; one end of the upper chain conveyor 27 is provided with a third positioning protrusion 273, and the other end is provided with a third positioning groove 274. The third positioning protrusion 273 is used to connect with the third positioning groove 274 of the adjacent thin coal seam scraper conveyor middle trough 10; so that the two adjacent thin coal seam scraper conveyor middle troughs 10 can be accurately positioned; thus, compared with the common two-point hinge positioning method in the prior art, changing to three-point hinge can increase the positioning accuracy between the thin coal seam scraper conveyor middle troughs 10.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 Furthermore, the pusher groove assembly 30 includes a panel 31, a first lower base plate 32, a second lower base plate 33, a second lower chain cylinder 34, and a third lower chain cylinder 35. The panel 31 is horizontally disposed at the top of the second lower chain cylinder 34, the first lower base plate 32 is horizontally disposed at the bottom of the second lower chain cylinder 34, the second lower base plate 33 is connected to the end of the first lower base plate 32 and the second lower chain cylinder 34, and the third lower chain cylinder 35 is disposed at the end of the first lower base plate 32 that is not connected to the second lower chain cylinder 34. The first lower base plate 32 is used to be fixedly connected to the connector 25, the second lower base plate 33 is used to be fixedly connected to the first lower chain cylinder 26, and the second lower chain cylinder 34 and the third lower chain cylinder 35 are used to form a complete lower chain track with the first lower chain cylinder 26.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5Furthermore, the first lower base plate 32 has two first insert plates 36 symmetrically arranged at the end opposite to the second lower base plate 33, and the second lower base plate 33 has two second insert plates 37 symmetrically arranged at the end facing the first lower base plate 32; the connector 25 has two first slots 252 symmetrically arranged, and the first lower chain cylinder 26 has two second slots 261 symmetrically arranged on the side opposite to the connector 25. Each first insert plate 36 is used to be fixedly connected to a first slot 252, and each second insert plate 37 is used to be fixedly connected to a second slot 261, so as to fix the push groove assembly 30 onto the middle groove assembly 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, each first insert plate 36 has a first connecting hole, each second insert plate 37 has a second connecting hole, each first slot 252 has a first fixing hole, and each second slot 261 has a second fixing hole. Each first connecting hole and its corresponding first fixing hole are fixedly connected by bolts, and each second connecting hole and its corresponding second fixing hole are fixedly connected by bolts. In this way, the stress on the central trough 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor can be evenly distributed to the four connecting points, reducing the deformation of the central trough 10 of the thin coal seam scraper conveyor.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 Secondly, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a central trough 10 for a thin coal seam scraper conveyor as described in the first aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S2 uses 3D printing technology to create casting sand molds;

[0050] S3 involves smelting steel to obtain molten steel. Specifically, during the smelting process, it is necessary to strictly control the chemical composition and tapping temperature of the molten steel to ensure its quality. Before tapping, the molten steel needs to be purified by argon blowing inside the furnace.

[0051] S4. Fix the casting sand mold on a platform at a 9-10° angle to the ground, pour molten steel into the casting sand mold from multiple risers, and vibrate the casting sand mold during the pouring process.

[0052] S5. Wait for the molten steel to cool naturally to obtain the casting. Then, process the surface of the casting to make it smooth and flat. Specifically, the surface treatment of the casting includes cleaning waste sand, gas cutting risers, cleaning burrs, cleaning flash, and grinding the casting.

[0053] S6. The casting is subjected to wear-resistant strengthening treatment. Specifically, the casting is first pre-treated by normalizing at 900℃, held for 4 hours and then air-cooled; then the casting is quenched at 900℃, held for 4 hours and then water-cooled; finally, the casting is tempered at 350℃, held for 5 hours and then air-cooled.

[0054] S7, inspect various properties of the casting to ensure that the casting meets the design requirements of the central groove; specifically, the various properties of the casting are inspected, including the mechanical properties, metallographic structure and ultrasonic flaw detection of the casting's interior.

[0055] In this embodiment, 3D printing technology is used to cast sand molds so that the mold parameters can be adjusted according to different application scenarios.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
