[0034] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.
[0035] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0036] At present, the existing iron ore is mined using the staged open-pit followed by backfill mining method. The ore recovered by blasting needs to be shoveled by a shovel loader and transported from the mine room to the chute. The ore is lowered into the chute through the chute, and then discharged through the chute discharge port and transported to the unloading station by an electric locomotive to enter the next operation link.
[0037] Large ore blocks the chute opening, preventing ore from being transported properly. This often requires manual work using iron rods to pry or pry the blockage out, posing a significant safety hazard to on-site workers.
[0038] Through on-site work, it was found that the chute screens are often damaged by the impact and friction of the ore. The damaged screen mesh will become larger, causing large pieces of ore to easily fall into the chute, which in turn causes a jam when the ore is discharged.
[0039] Based on this, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a chute grid screen protective cover device. The one-piece cast protective cover body 1 of the present disclosure is installed in the chute grid screen grate grid 100. After each chute grid screen grate grid 100 is installed with the protective cover body 1, a complete planar structure will be formed. On the basis of protecting the original chute grid screen, the service life of the chute grid screen is extended to prevent the impact and friction of the ore on the chute grid screen. After the chute grid screen protective cover is installed, the size of the original chute grid screen grate grid becomes smaller, which is conducive to preventing large pieces of ore from falling into the chute from the grate grid, and effectively prevents the occurrence of blockage at the chute ore outlet. The invention of the chute grid screen protective device can be promoted and applied in the protection of chute grid screens in mines around the world.
[0040] The following describes the chute grid screen protective cover device in detail through a specific embodiment:
[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first aspect of the present disclosure, a chute screen protective sleeve device is provided, including an integrally cast protective sleeve body; the protective sleeve body includes a hollow flat plate structure and an annular structure, and the annular structure is arranged on the bottom surface of the flat plate structure; a surface of the flat plate structure located on the material-prone side is set as a first opening, and a surface of the annular structure away from the material-prone side is set as a second opening, the inner wall of the annular structure is coplanar with the inner wall of the flat plate structure, and the outer wall size of the annular structure matches the inner diameter size of the chute screen grate grid.
[0042] The present invention measures the size of the sieve grids 100 of the chute, and specifically designs the protective cover body 1 to be manufactured based on the measured size. Based on the design results, the protective cover body 1 is integrally cast and formed. Through integral casting, the flat plate structure and the annular structure are seamlessly connected, eliminating weak weld points. The outer wall size of the annular interface matches the inner diameter size of the sieve grid 100 of the chute, so that the chute grid screen protective cover device can be well installed in each sieve grid. Materials with strong wear resistance and good compressive strength are selected as casting raw materials for construction.
[0043] Specifically, the protective cover body 1 of the present invention is made of high-strength, wear-resistant and impact-resistant manganese steel. The surface hardness of manganese steel (such as MN13) can jump from the initial HB200 to more than HB500 when impacted, forming a self-reinforced wear-resistant layer, which reduces the wear rate to 1 / 3-1 / 5 of ordinary steel, the single impact energy absorption rate is greater than 85%, and the impact toughness value is ≥150J / cm 2 It can withstand the dynamic load generated by the continuous falling of ore without brittle cracking. Its fatigue life under vibration conditions is 5-8 times longer than that of ordinary carbon steel. In addition, the fluctuation of mechanical properties in the range of -40℃ to 250℃ is less than 10%, avoiding low-temperature brittle cracking or high-temperature softening.
[0044] In some embodiments, the annular structure 12 is in an inverted cone shape, with the first opening 111 being smaller than the second opening 122. The conical structure of the annular structure 12 of the present disclosure forms a flow channel that gradually expands from top to bottom. The conical sidewalls decompose the impact force into axial and radial components, creating a centrifugal diffusion effect when the ore falls, reducing the direct impact force on the grate grid. The size difference between the first opening and the second opening forms an inclination angle of 15°-20°, which conforms to the free-fall trajectory of the ore.
[0045] In some embodiments, the inner wall size of the first opening 111 is set to 700 mm to 800 mm, and the inner wall size of the second opening 122 is set to 850 mm to 900 mm.
[0046] The first opening of the present invention, which is 700 mm to 800 mm, can intercept oversized ore blocks with a diameter of ≥ 650 mm. The second opening 122, which is 850 mm to 900 mm, ensures that more than 95% of qualified ore materials pass through smoothly, and the size gradient forms a natural sliding angle of 15°-18°, reducing the probability of material accumulation. Specifically, the inner wall size of the first opening 111 is set to 800 mm, and the inner wall size of the second opening 122 is set to 900 mm. The second opening 122 of 900 mm can accommodate mixed materials with a powder ore rate of ≤ 20% to pass through without obstruction; the first opening 111 of 800 mm reduces the stress concentration coefficient of the annular structure to 1.2, and the inner diameter of 800 mm reduces the wear rate of the wear-resistant coating to 0.12 mm / 10,000 tons of ore, with a service life of 1.8 times that of the ordinary size. The flared design of the 900 mm lower opening reduces the probability of coating scratch damage.
[0047] In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the annular structure 12 is 50 mm to 100 mm.
[0048] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the annular structure 12 of the present disclosure is designed to be 50 mm to 100 mm. A 50 mm wall thickness can withstand an impact load of 120 MPa, while a 100 mm wall thickness increases this to 180 MPa, meeting the impact requirements of ore falling in deep chutes. The stress concentration factor is controlled at 1.2-1.5, reducing the risk of fracture by 27% compared to thin-walled structures (<50 mm). Under 50 Hz vibration conditions, an 80 mm wall thickness can attenuate the amplitude to within 0.3 mm, effectively suppressing the resonance effect. Furthermore, when combined with a 0.3-0.6 mm wear-resistant coating, a 50 mm wall thickness substrate reduces the coating wear rate to 0.12 mm / 10,000 tons of ore, while a 100 mm wall thickness can increase this to 0.08 mm / 10,000 tons.
[0049] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flat panel structure 11 ranges from 20 to 50 mm. In this embodiment, the 50 mm thickness achieves a flexural modulus of 180 MPa, a 60% improvement over the 20 mm solution, effectively resisting deformation of the screen area. However, the 20 mm ultra-thin design combined with the metal middle frame still maintains a compressive strength of 120 MPa, meeting the requirements of daily use. Furthermore, the 30-40 mm thickness range allows the resonant frequency to avoid the common interference band of 50 Hz, increasing the amplitude attenuation rate by 35%.
[0050] In some embodiments, the inner wall surface of the annular structure 12 is provided with a wear-resistant coating 111 , and the thickness of the wear-resistant coating 111 is set to 2 to 5 mm.
[0051] In this embodiment, regarding the coating selection, the 5 mm thick WC-12Co coating reduces the wear rate to 0.08 mm / 10,000 tons of ore flow, and the thinner coating (<2 mm) increases the wear life by 3 times; the friction coefficient of the tungsten disulfide (WS2) coating reaches a minimum of 0.07 at a thickness of 3 mm, while maintaining excellent interlayer slip performance. In terms of impact resistance, the 4-5 mm coating can absorb 90% of the impact energy of falling ore, and the substrate stress concentration factor is reduced from 1.5 to 1.1. When the epoxy resin coating is ≥3 mm thick, the resistance to particle erosion is improved by 40%. Specifically, for every 1 mm increase in coating thickness, the substrate fatigue crack growth rate decreases by 35%, and a thickness of 2-3 mm achieves the best balance between wear resistance and material cost. The present disclosure specifically uses tungsten carbide (WC) coating. The hardness of the tungsten carbide (WC) coating reaches 1500-2000 HV, and the wear rate is as low as 0.05 mm / 10,000 tons of ore flow.
[0052] In some embodiments, the flat plate structure 11 is a solid wear-resistant plate. In this embodiment, the solid structure increases bending stiffness by 3-5 times compared to a hollow plate, reduces deformation by 60% under concentrated loads, eliminates weak joints, improves stress distribution uniformity by 40%, and achieves an impact energy absorption rate of up to 85%, making it suitable for high-frequency impact scenarios such as ore falls.
[0053] In a second aspect of the present disclosure, a method for using a chute grid screen protective cover device is provided, which is applied to the chute grid screen protective cover device provided in the first aspect of the present disclosure, comprising:
[0054] S1, measure the size of the mesh 100 of the sieve;
[0055] S2, determining the outer wall size of the annular structure 12 of the protective sleeve body 1 based on the grid size;
[0056] S3, integrally casting the flat plate structure 11 and the annular structure 12 of the protective sleeve device;
[0057] S4, embedding the protective cover device into the sieve grate grid 100 by using a lifting tool;
[0058] S5, repeating the above steps S1 to S4 until the sieve grate grid 100 is completely covered by the protective cover device.
[0059] Specifically, the size of the sieve grate grid 100 can be measured by laser scanning with a grid size error of ≤0.5mm, ensuring that the gap between the annular structure 12 and the grate grid 100 is controlled at 1-2mm. In the process of integral casting, a vacuum casting process can be used to make the density of the manganese steel material reach 99.2%, and the tensile strength is increased by 40%. The lifting tool disclosed in the present invention can be equipped with an electromagnetic lifting system with an automatic centering function, so that the positioning accuracy is ±3mm; or a beam sling (a straight sling), a rigid hanger made of steel, adapted to a 480-600mm grid size, and adjustable sling spacing (range 400-800mm) to meet different grid layouts. Furthermore, the lifting tool can be equipped with an integrated weight limiter and an inclination sensor according to different selections, and the overload alarm response time is <0.5 seconds. The present invention specifically uses an electromagnetic lifting system in conjunction with a beam sling, which can greatly improve the installation efficiency of a single grid.
[0060] In some embodiments, the annular structure 12 is secured within the sieve grate grid 100 via an interference fit. In this embodiment, the annular structure 12 is secured within the sieve grate grid 100 via an interference fit to enhance impact resistance. This interference fit eliminates the need for welding or bolts, significantly reducing installation time for individual components. The modular design also allows for partial replacement, improving maintenance efficiency. The interference fit between the annular structure 12 and the sieve grate grid 100 is set to 0.3-0.5mm, ensuring a contact surface pressure of 50-80MPa, effectively suppressing structural displacement under ore impact. The specific friction coefficient of the mating surface is set to 0.15-0.2, absorbing over 30% of the kinetic energy of the impact.
