Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal sampling, in particular to an automatic sampler for a scraper conveyor. Background Art

[0002] The collection and preparation of coal samples is an important part of coal production. Sampling is the most critical step, used to guide production, control production indicators, and ensure product quality requirements. Incorrect sampling is difficult to detect, check, and remedy afterwards. In the prior art, coal preparation plant product inspection and testing can only be carried out by sampling after various clean coal products are mixed, and sampling is generally not allowed at transfer points such as conveyors. As a result, some sampling and preparation work cannot collect sub-samples, and the collected coal samples are not representative. No matter how accurate the subsequent sample preparation and testing are, they are useless and may even lead to wrong conclusions, causing quality imbalance of coal washing products. In order to change this situation, sampling workers are arranged at transfer points such as conveyors to conduct regular sampling. The labor intensity is high, and the sampling is not uniform, which affects subsequent testing. Therefore, the present invention proposes an automatic sampler for scraper conveyors to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above problems, the present invention proposes an automatic sampler for a scraper conveyor, which periodically controls the movement of a moving block, the lifting of an electric telescopic rod, and the operation of a sampling assembly through a time controller in an electric control box. When sampling is required, the moving block moves to the top of the scraper conveyor, and the electric telescopic rod lowers the sampling assembly, so that the open sampling slot is inserted into the coal sample. The sampling slot is closed by a linkage arm unit for sampling, and subsequently moved and reset to open and send the coal sample into the aggregate box to complete the sampling task. The sampling time interval can be freely set, which reduces the labor intensity of employees.

The sampling slot 7 is provided with two groups adapted to each other. The linkage arm unit is used to control the opening and closing of the two groups of sampling slots 7 for sampling. During use, the time controller of the electric control box 5 periodically controls the movement of the moving block 3, the lifting and lowering of the electric telescopic rod 4, and the operation of the sampling assembly. When sampling is required, the moving block 3 moves above the scraper conveyor 6, and the electric telescopic rod 4 lowers the sampling assembly, so that the open sampling slot 7 is inserted into the coal sample. The sampling slot 7 is driven to close by the linkage arm unit for sampling, and then moved back to open and send the coal sample into the aggregate box 2 to complete the sampling task. The sampling time interval can be freely set, which reduces the labor intensity of employees.

[0020] A guide groove is provided above the inner side of the bracket 1, and the movable block 3 is slidably mounted within the guide groove. A threaded screw is provided within the guide groove, which extends through the movable block 3 and engages with the threaded screw. A motor 8 is provided above one side of the bracket 1, and the output end of the motor 8 is connected to the threaded screw. During operation, the motor 8 drives the threaded screw to rotate, causing the movable block 3 to move and change position along the guide groove, thereby changing the position of the sampling assembly. This facilitates sampling by the sampling assembly and also facilitates unloading of the coal sample to the electrical control box 5 after sampling.

[0021] The linkage arm assembly includes a top frame 9, a support arm 10, and a middle transfer frame 11. The support arm 10 is rotatably arranged on both sides below the top frame 9.
