Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage bins, and more specifically, it relates to an intelligent belt - type storage bin. Background Art

[0002] In the field of material storage and transportation, the traditional form of storage and transportation is manual variable - frequency speed regulation, and the storage is carried out by using a belt feed chute and the way of filling the belt with materials. There are many problems faced during the storage and transportation process. For example, it is difficult to store materials, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust the storage method according to the actual material situation; a large number of personnel are required to participate in the operation process, increasing the labor cost; the control of material transportation is not accurate enough, and it is difficult to achieve automated and intelligent management, resulting in low equipment operation efficiency and high maintenance cost.

[0003] Specifically, the traditional storage bin has limited means in material monitoring, and it is impossible to accurately and real - time grasp the height and flow rate of materials, resulting in untimely and inaccurate start - stop control of the belt conveyor, and easily causing problems such as energy waste or material accumulation. At the same time, during the operation of the belt conveyor, it is difficult to automatically adjust the tension and deviation of the belt, and manual intervention is required frequently, which not only increases the labor intensity but also affects the stable operation of the equipment. In addition, it is impossible to accurately weigh the weight of the transported materials, which is not conducive to production management and cost accounting.

[0004] In addition, traditional storage bins cannot store materials of different sizes. Due to the limitations of the performance and material of the conveyor belt, it is necessary to crush and screen the materials before putting them into the storage bin, resulting in energy consumption and wear: during the screening process, fine particles are easy to penetrate the screen, resulting in repeated processing, while coarse particles need to be repeatedly crushed, increasing the equipment energy consumption and wear; process redundancy: the multi - stage process of screening - crushing - conveying leads to system complexity, occupying more space and increasing the maintenance cost; particle size fluctuation risk: even after screening, the materials may still have particle size fluctuations due to uneven crushing or adhesion phenomena, and the risk of outlet blockage cannot be completely eliminated.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1-8 the structural schematic diagram. The intelligent belt-type storage bin of the present invention includes an AI intelligent system and the following components:

[0055] V-shaped storage bin body 1: It is formed by combining multiple individual bin bodies in the horizontal plane, which is convenient for installation and reduces the overall height. The number of bin bodies is set according to the site size to improve versatility. The installation position and length can be designed according to the actual situation on site, and it can be laid horizontally, on a slope, or in an arch shape. After design, it is produced in sections and then transported to the site for installation. After use, it can be disassembled in sections, which is convenient for recycling and reuse, and reduces investment and maintenance costs. Each bin body is set as a trapezoidal bin body with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, which can reduce the impact force of the material on the bin opening when discharging materials.

[0056] Conveyor belt 32: It adopts a high-strength rubber or ceramic patch conveyor belt to improve the impact resistance of coarse-grained materials and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0057] At the bottom discharge opening of the V-shaped storage bin body 1, a V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 and an inverted V-shaped material guiding plate 38 are installed. The V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 includes a plate body 1801 and a telescopic rod 1806. Two groups of crushing knife groups 1802 are installed on the plate body 1801. The power input end of the crushing knife group 1802 penetrates through the V-shaped storage bin body 1 and is in transmission connection with the crushing knife group 1802 (a through groove is provided on the V-shaped storage bin body 1 for cooperating with the power input end of the crushing knife group 1802 to be connected with the crushing knife group 1802. The power source can displace relative to the V-shaped storage bin body 1 and is stationary relative to the crushing knife group 1802; the through groove is arranged in an arc shape because one end of the plate body 1801 is hinged and will displace due to the setting of the spring 1810 when being impacted, and the external arc-shaped arrangement), one side of the bottom of the plate body 1801 is hinged with a buffer rod 1805. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1806 is fixed with an outer sleeve 1807 with a cover plate 1808. One end of the buffer rod 1805 located inside the outer sleeve 1807 is fixed with a pressure plate 1809, and the outer sleeve 1807 is provided with a spring 1810.

[0058] The plate body 1801 is hinged to the inner wall of the bottom of the V-shaped storage bin body 1. The telescopic rod 1806 penetrates through the bottom wall of the V-shaped storage bin body 1 and is hinged to the V-shaped storage bin body 1. An arc-shaped cover 1803 cooperating with the crushing knife group 1802 is installed on one side of the bottom of the plate body 1801. A discharge slot 1804 is opened on the arc-shaped cover 1803. The buffer rod 1805 is hinged at a position between the two arc-shaped covers 1803 on one side of the bottom of the plate body 1801. The outer sleeve 1807 is installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1806 located inside the V-shaped storage bin body 1. The cover plate 1808 is fixed to the end of the outer sleeve 1807 away from the telescopic rod 1806 by bolts. The pressure plate 1809 is fixed to one end of the buffer rod 1805 penetrating through the cover plate 1808 and extending into the inner part of the outer sleeve 1807. The pressure plate 1809 cooperates with the inner cavity of the outer sleeve 1807. The two ends of the spring 1810 are respectively abutted against the inner bottom of the outer sleeve 1807 and the pressure plate 1809.

[0059] V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18: Installed at the bottom of the V-shaped storage bin body 1, its structure is a V-shaped plate with a certain angle. When the material falls, the V-shaped structure can disperse the impact force of the material, thereby greatly reducing the pressure of the material on the conveyor belt 32. The inverted V-shaped material guiding plate 38 is installed inside the V-shaped storage bin body 1 to divert the material located inside the V-shaped storage bin body 1, and cooperates with the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18, so that the diverted material can move towards the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18, enabling large pieces of coal mine to be initially crushed, avoiding blockage of the coal mine at the bottom discharge opening of the V-shaped storage bin body 1. At the same time, through the combined use of the plate body 1801, the buffer rod 1805, the outer sleeve 1807, the pressure plate 1809 and the spring 1810, the plate body 1801 will displace when being impacted, causing the discharge gap between the inverted V-shaped material guiding plate 38 and the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 to change, and effectively avoiding blockage at the discharge opening.

[0080] The working principle of the intelligent belt-type storage bin is as follows:

[0081] The material falls into the tail V-shaped storage bin body 1. The transmission signal of the weighing system 31 under the conveyor belt 32 causes the conveyor belt 32 to run forward. The conveyor belt 32 will only run forward when it receives a certain weight, reducing the number of employees watching the belt. Y-shaped anti-spill skirt plates 16 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 32 to effectively prevent secondary leakage of materials. The first snake spring coupling 12 is installed in the drive system, which is more suitable for high-torque drive and can ensure that the V-shaped storage bin body 1 stores a large amount of materials. A frequency converter 24 and a PLC control PID system are installed on the belt conveyor to automatically adjust the belt speed in real-time according to the amount of materials. A lead screw spiral tensioning structure is installed on the tail roller 3 to adjust belt deviation, and the tension of the conveyor belt 32 is automatically adjusted by the hydraulic tensioning device 8 at any time. Through the collaborative work of each module of the AI intelligent system, intelligent start and stop and unattended operation are realized, reducing investment and maintenance costs and ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.
