Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rocker arm installation platforms, and particularly to a rocker arm installation platform applicable to a shearer and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] During the installation process of fully-mechanized mining face equipment, the shearer is an important equipment in the installation, and its safe and efficient installation is crucial. The traditional installation method is that when installing the fully-mechanized mining face equipment, first install the hydraulic support, and then suspend the rocker arm below the front cantilever beam of the support with a small chain. Adjust the relative position between the rocker arm and the frame by raising, lowering, advancing, and retreating the support until the pin holes of the two are aligned and then install the pin shaft.

[0003] The traditional installation method relies on the lifting and forward and backward movement of the hydraulic support platform to adjust the position of the rocker arm. However, the stroke and movement range of the support are limited, and it is difficult to achieve fine alignment, especially in a narrow space. It may be necessary to adjust repeatedly many times to align the pin holes. And each adjustment requires operating multiple groups of supports, with poor action coherence. Moreover, the rocker arm is heavy, and only indirectly applying force through the support makes the adjustment process slow, time-consuming, and prolongs the overall installation cycle.

[0004] Therefore, aiming at the problems of limited platform adjustment space, low work efficiency, and prominent safety hazards of the above traditional installation method, a rocker arm installation platform applicable to a shearer and its usage method can be designed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the problems of limited platform adjustment space, low work efficiency, and prominent safety hazards of the traditional installation method.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A rocker arm installation platform applicable to a shearer includes a platform body; a bottom support steel plate is installed at the bottom end inside the platform body, vertical support steel rods are installed on both sides of the upper end of the bottom support steel plate, an edge protection baffle is installed at the upper end of the vertical support steel rods, a first inclined clamping plate is installed at the side end of the edge protection baffle, a transverse clamping plate is installed at the side end of the first inclined clamping plate, a second inclined clamping plate is installed at the side end of the transverse clamping plate, and a reinforcing support steel bar is installed at the upper end of the bottom support steel plate.

[0007] Further, a reinforcing connecting bar is installed at the lower end of the transverse clamping plate, a compression-resistant steel rod is installed at the lower end of the reinforcing connecting bar, and bearing plates are installed at both lower sides of the compression-resistant steel rod.

[0008] Further, a lifting ring is installed at the center of the outer side of the bottom support steel plate.

[0009] Further, the reinforcing support steel bar is an I-shaped steel, and a clamping groove is formed between the first inclined clamping plate, the transverse clamping plate, and the second inclined clamping plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a top horizontal strut is installed at the upper end of the reinforcing support steel bar, and multiple groups of equally spaced partition struts are installed outside the top horizontal strut.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple groups of partition bracing plates are installed between two groups of partition struts.

[0012] Usage method of the shearer boom installation platform. Use the shearer boom installation platform as described above, and its characteristics are as follows: The steps are as follows: S1: Insert the shovel of the 55E scraper into the bottom of the platform body, and use a 40T small chain to pass through the lifting ring at the bottom of the platform body to annularly bind the shovel and the platform body, ensuring that the lifting ring serves as the force-bearing anchor point to disperse the binding force and prevent the platform body from tipping over, and then transport it to the installation position of the shearer at the working face: S21: Utilize the lifting function of the 55E scraper to place the left boom on the platform body. Ensure that the bottom surface of the boom contacts the top horizontal strut at the upper end of the reinforcing support steel bar. Through the high bending resistance of the reinforcing support steel bar, disperse the weight of the boom. Align the two edges of the boom with the inner side of the edge protection baffle, and use the inclination angles of the first diagonal clamping plate and the second diagonal clamping plate to guide the boom to slide into the card slot to form a "V-shaped" clamping structure; S22: Pass a 40T small chain through the reserved connection hole of the transverse clamping plate to fix the middle part of the boom to the transverse clamping plate, and use the horizontal supporting force of the transverse clamping plate to prevent the boom from swaying left and right; Connect the transverse clamping plate and the compressive steel rod through the reinforcing link to form a vertical tensile force transmission, ensuring that the binding force is transmitted to the load-bearing plate through the reinforcing link to avoid overloading of a single point of force, and confirm that the direction of the boom pin hole is consistent with the advancing direction of the platform body: S31: The scraper lifts the platform body to the installation height. During the process, observe the deformation of the compressive steel rod, use its high-strength characteristics to bear the vertical load, and slowly move the scraper under the guidance of the ground commander to initially align the boom pin hole with the frame installation pin hole. At this time, the edge protection baffle serves as a visual reference to assist in judging the lateral position deviation; S32: Use the lifting ring at the bottom of the platform body in cooperation with a manual hoist to make left and right fine-tuning to ensure that the central axes of the pin holes coincide; S41: Insert the fork teeth of the JUG-A-O multi-functional forklift into the bottom of the boom pin shaft, and horizontally lift the pin shaft through the lifting function of the forklift to align it with the pin hole and install the pin shaft; S42: After the pin shaft is completely inserted, install the matching cover plate and fix the cover plate to the frame with bolts. During the process, check the swinging freedom of the boom to ensure that there is no jamming: S5: After the pin shaft and cover plate are installed, first remove the connecting chain between the transverse clamping plate and the rocker arm, and then loosen the binding chain between the lifting ring and the scraper plate. Ensure that the rocker arm remains stationary during the untying process. After confirming that the rocker arm is completely fixed on the frame, the scraper plate vehicle slowly retreats to the designated safe position. Observe the contact situation between the load-bearing plate at the bottom of the platform body and the roadway floor during the process to avoid scratching. S6: Using the thrust at the front end of the scraper plate vehicle, slowly push the coal shearer body and the bottom chute towards the tail of the machine, align the chute interfaces, align the pin holes of the chute interfaces, and use special tools to drive the dumbbell pins in to ensure that the pin holes and the dumbbell pins fit tightly to complete the chute connection. Step Seven: The left rocker arm is installed. Step Eight: Install the right rocker arm and crusher using the same method.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S22, a grid structure composed of a partition strut and a partition support plate is used to limit the front end of the rocker arm to prevent it from moving back and forth during transportation.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S32, the reinforcement support steel bars and the top transverse struts form a rigid framework to inhibit the deformation of the platform during adjustment and ensure the position accuracy of the rocker arm.

[0015] The beneficial effects are as follows: Using the platform of the present invention, only 4 people in 1 shift are required to complete the operation, while the traditional installation method requires 2 shifts with 4 people in each shift to complete the installation of the coal shearer. Calculated at 500 yuan per person's labor cost, the labor cost can be saved by 500×4 = 0.20 ten thousand yuan for installing 1 coal shearer. If 30 coal shearers are installed on average every year, the annual labor cost can be saved up to 6.0 ten thousand yuan, effectively reducing the labor cost of the enterprise and improving the economic benefits; the platform simplifies the installation process of the rocker arm, speeds up the construction progress, enables the coal shearer to be put into use faster, reduces the downtime during equipment installation, improves the utilization rate of the equipment, and creates more production benefits for the enterprise; The traditional installation method relies on the hydraulic support to lift the rocker arm, which has serious safety hazards caused by the broken chain of the support lifting. However, this platform replaces this unsafe lifting method, fundamentally avoiding the risk of broken chain, providing a safer working environment for the operators, ensuring the safety of personnel's lives. Through reasonable structural design and fixing methods, the platform ensures the stability of the rocker arm during transportation and installation. The operators do not need to make repeated adjustments in a complex and dangerous support operation environment, reducing the probability of safety accidents caused by operation errors or environmental factors, making the entire installation process safer and more controllable; This platform is suitable for the installation operation of coal shearers under the mining height conditions of 3 - 10 meters, with strong adaptability. Whether it is in a low mining height or a high mining height working face, it can provide reliable support for the installation of the rocker arm of the coal shearer and meet the production needs of different mines.
