Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underwater hard rock crushing technology, and specifically relates to an underwater hard rock crushing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of underwater rock crushing, drum-type underwater rock crushers are widely used due to their continuous operation capability and high crushing efficiency. These devices typically consist of one or more drums equipped with carbide or steel crushing teeth that crush underwater rocks through rotation.

[0003] Although drum-type underwater rock crushers have certain advantages in underwater rock breaking, some technical problems exist in actual operation. The most significant issue is that during underwater rock breaking, the hull is prone to rolling and tilting due to the reaction force of the rock or the impact force applied by the equipment. This rolling and tilting not only reduces operational efficiency but also increases operational risks, threatening the safety of the hull structure and personnel. Therefore, we propose an underwater hard rock crushing device to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing drum-type underwater rock breaking equipment is prone to swaying and tilting during underwater rock breaking operations due to the reaction force of the rock or the impact force applied by the equipment. This swaying and tilting not only reduces the efficiency of operation but also increases the risk of operation, posing a threat to the safety of the hull structure and the operators.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An underwater hard rock crushing device includes a hull and a crushing mechanism disposed at the lower end of the hull. The crushing mechanism includes a lifting arm, a fixed frame fixedly installed at one end of the lifting arm, two first rollers and one second roller. Each of the two first rollers and the second roller is provided with a plurality of crushing teeth. The lifting arm is disposed at the lower end of the hull. The fixed frame includes a fixed horizontal plate and two support plates symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the fixed horizontal plate. The two first rollers are rotatably mounted on the two support plates, and the second roller is rotatably mounted between the two first rollers. The rotation direction of the second roller is opposite to that of the two first rollers. The fixed horizontal plate and the support plates have mounting cavities inside. The ends of the two first rollers are fixedly mounted with first transmission wheels. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the fixed horizontal plate. The two ends of the rotating shaft are fixedly mounted with second transmission wheels. A first belt is sleeved between the first transmission wheels and the second transmission wheels. The first transmission wheels, the second transmission wheels and the first belt are all disposed in the mounting cavities. A first motor is fixedly mounted on the fixed horizontal plate. A third transmission wheel is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor. A fourth transmission wheel is provided on the rotating shaft. The third transmission wheel and the fourth transmission wheel are sleeved with second belts.

[0007] Further specified, a reversing component is provided between the two first rollers and the second roller. The reversing component includes a fixed frame, two first bevel gears, a second bevel gear, and a third bevel gear. Both ends of the second roller have cylindrical grooves, and the fixed frame is disposed within these grooves. The two first bevel gears are symmetrically and rotatably mounted within the fixed frame. The second and third bevel gears are also symmetrically and rotatably mounted within the fixed frame and mesh with the two first bevel gears. A first fixed post and a second fixed post are fixedly mounted at the ends of the two first rollers and the second roller that are close to each other. The first and second fixed posts are respectively fixedly connected to the second and third bevel gears. With this structural design, the second bevel gear, in cooperation with the first bevel gears and the fixed frame, can drive the third bevel gear to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second roller to rotate in the opposite direction to the two first rollers.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing rod is fixedly installed between the two support plates. The fixing rod passes through the two first rollers and one second roller, and is rotatably connected to the first and second rollers via bearings. A connecting frame is fixedly installed on the fixing rod, and the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the fixing frame. This structural design allows the fixing rod, in conjunction with the bearings, to position the first and second rollers without affecting their rotation.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed cross plate is equipped with a protective cover over the third drive wheel and the second belt. This structural design allows the protective cover to enclose the third drive wheel and the second belt, preventing damage to them from impacts by gravel.

[0010] Furthermore, the hull is symmetrically equipped with four sets of support mechanisms to provide stable support. Each support mechanism includes a positioning seat and a support column. A limiting opening is provided on the hull. The positioning seat is fixedly installed on the hull and located at the limiting opening. The positioning seat has an opening of the same size as the limiting opening. The support column is movably installed within the opening and the limiting opening. The positioning seat is equipped with a drive component that can drive the support column to move vertically up and down. This structural design is simple and easy to use.

[0011] Further specifying, the drive assembly includes a second motor, a worm gear, a drive gear, and a worm wheel adapted to the worm gear. The second motor is fixedly mounted on a positioning seat, which has a groove. The worm gear is rotatably mounted in the groove and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. A third fixed column is fixedly mounted on the positioning seat, and the drive gear is rotatably mounted on the third fixed column. The support column has fixed teeth that mesh with the drive gear, and the worm wheel is fixedly mounted on the end of the drive gear. With this structural design, when the second motor is working, it can drive the worm wheel and the drive gear to rotate, thereby causing the support column to move up and down. Furthermore, the worm gear and worm wheel have a locking effect on the support column, providing stable support.

[0012] Furthermore, an adapter end is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support column, and a roller is rotatably installed on the adapter end. This structural design allows the roller to move downwards along with the support column, lowering the ship's center of gravity and ensuring the ship remains stably on the water.

[0013] Furthermore, the contact rollers are equipped with several anti-slip protrusions, and tracks are fitted onto two contact rollers on the same side. The inner side of the tracks is provided with anti-slip grooves that are adapted to the anti-slip protrusions. This structural design allows the rollers to drive the tracks, facilitating the movement of the vessel when the tracks are in contact with the riverbed.

[0014] Further specifying, the lifting arm includes a first connecting arm, a second connecting arm, and a hydraulic cylinder. The first connecting arm is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the hull, and the second connecting arm is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first connecting arm. Both the first and second connecting arms are provided with connecting columns, and the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably mounted between the connecting columns of the first and second connecting arms. This structural design is simple and easy to use.

[0015] The invention employing the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0016] In this invention, the lifting arm can bring the first and second rollers close to the underwater rocks. The first motor, in conjunction with multiple transmission wheels, the first belt and the second belt, can drive the first and second rollers to rotate, thus breaking the underwater hard rocks. The first and second rollers rotate in opposite directions, so the reaction forces on the first and second rollers will partially cancel each other out when breaking the hard rocks, thereby reducing the impact force on the hull.

[0017] In this invention, the second motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel and drive gear to rotate, so that the support column moves vertically up and down under the positioning action of the positioning seat until the roller and track contact the underwater riverbed. This can lower the center of gravity of the hull, so as to provide stable support for the hull. Moreover, the track setting facilitates the movement of the hull within a small range, improving the efficiency and stability of hard rock crushing work. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Four sets of support mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the hull 1 to provide stable support for the hull 1. The support mechanism 4 includes a positioning seat 41 and a support column 42. A limit opening is opened on the hull 1. The positioning seat 41 is fixedly installed on the hull 1 and is located at the limit opening. The positioning seat 41 has an opening with the same size as the limit opening. The support column 42 is movably installed in the opening and the limit opening. The positioning seat 41 is provided with a drive component that can drive the support column 42 to move vertically up and down. The lower end of the support column 42 is fixedly installed with a connecting end 421. A roller 422 is rotatably installed on the connecting end 421.

[0042] The drive assembly includes a second motor 5, a worm gear 51, a drive gear 52, and a worm wheel 53 adapted to the worm gear 51. The second motor 5 is fixedly mounted on a positioning seat 41, which has a groove. The worm gear 51 is rotatably mounted in the groove and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 5. A third fixed column is fixedly mounted on the positioning seat 41, and the drive gear 52 is rotatably mounted on the third fixed column. The support column 42 has fixed teeth that mesh with the drive gear 52. The worm wheel 53 is fixedly mounted on the end of the drive gear 52. The worm gear 51, in conjunction with the worm wheel 53, can drive the support column 42 to move vertically up and down through the drive gear 52. The worm gear 51 also has a locking effect on the worm wheel 53, which can keep the support column 42 in a locked state, so as to provide stable support when the roller 422 contacts the riverbed.

[0043] The method of using this invention is as follows:

[0044] When in use, the hull 1 sails above the construction water surface, the second motor 5 works, and the output shaft drives the worm 51 to rotate, causing the worm wheel 53 and the drive gear 52 to rotate. This allows the support column 42 to move vertically downward under the limiting action of the positioning seat 41 until the roller 422 and the track 423 contact the riverbed. This lowers the center of gravity of the hull 1, providing stable support for the hull 1. Furthermore, when the track 423 moves on the riverbed, it is easy to adjust the position of the hull 1 within a small range, thus improving work efficiency.

[0045] When the lifting arm 21 is in operation, it can bring the fixed frame 22, the first roller 23, and the second roller 24 to contact the underwater hard rock. The first motor 225 is in operation, which drives the fourth transmission wheel and the rotating shaft 223 to rotate through the third transmission wheel and the second belt 226. The rotating shaft 223, in conjunction with the first transmission wheel, the first belt 224, and the second transmission wheel, drives the two first rollers 23 to rotate. The second bevel gear 32 at the end of the first roller 23 rotates in the fixed frame 3. Driven by the first bevel gear 31, it drives the third bevel gear 33 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second roller 24 to rotate in the opposite direction to the first roller 23. When the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 rotate to break the underwater hard rock, the forces acting on the first roller 23 and the second roller 24 are in opposite directions, which can offset part of the impact force generated during breaking, reduce the swaying and tilting of the hull 1, and improve the efficiency of underwater hard rock breaking operations.

[0046] The above provides a detailed description of an underwater hard rock crushing device provided by the present invention. The specific embodiments are described only to aid in understanding the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
