Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal conveying and screening, in particular to a constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening. Background Art
[0002] In the coal washing process, screening is one of the key links, used to separate coal of different particle sizes to meet the needs of subsequent processes (such as thermal coal sorting, coking coal grading, etc.). At present, the screen cages widely used in existing screening equipment are mostly fixed-caliber structures, and their screening inner diameter is determined at the factory or during installation. When it is necessary to screen coal of different particle sizes (such as switching from 30mm to 50mm), the machine must be shut down and the original screen cage must be disassembled and replaced with a new screen cage of corresponding specifications. This operation has the following defects:
[0003] Low efficiency: Replacing the screen cage requires multiple processes such as stopping the machine, removing bolts, and hoisting the new cage. A single switch takes a long time, seriously affecting the continuity of the production line;
[0004] High cost: It is necessary to stockpile various specifications of screen cage spare parts, resulting in high inventory and management costs;
[0005] Poor adaptability: For small-batch, multi-specification coal screening needs (such as pilot production or customized orders), fixed-caliber screen cages cannot respond quickly, resulting in waste of resources. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a constant coal feeder for real-time screening of coal. The inner diameter of the screen cage is dynamically adjusted by the synchronously counter-rotating screening rollers, thereby solving the problem that the existing fixed-caliber screen cage needs to be frequently disassembled and replaced and has poor adaptability, and realizing rapid screening of coal of multiple specifications.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] A constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening comprises a coal feeder and a conveying screen cage fixed to the left end of the coal feeder; the coal feeder comprises a machine base, a driving roller and a driven roller respectively mounted on the left and right ends of the machine base for longitudinal rotation, a conveyor belt circulating around the driving roller and the driven roller, and a motor fixed to the left end of the machine base for driving the driving roller to rotate;
[0009] The conveying screen cage includes a cage top, a cage bottom fixed below the cage top and connected to the cage top, a left screen cage body fixed below the left bottom of the cage bottom and connected to the cage bottom, and a right screen cage body fixed below the right bottom of the cage bottom and connected to the cage bottom; an entrance is opened on the side of the cage top, and an exit is opened below the left and right screen cage bodies;
[0010] The inner part of the cage bottom is longitudinally provided with a rotatable conveying roller, the surface of the conveying roller is connected with a plurality of circumferentially arrayed conveying plates, and the outer part of the cage bottom is fixed with a motor two for driving the conveying roller to rotate;
[0011] The inner part of the left and right sieve cages is longitudinally provided with two rotatable screening rollers, each of the screening rollers is connected with two circumferentially arrayed screening plates, the rear ends of the two screening rollers are coaxially connected with gears located outside the sieve cages and meshing with each other, and the front ends of any one of the screening rollers in the left and right sieve cages are respectively driven to rotate by a motor three fixed outside the sieve cages;
[0012] The two screening rollers in the left and right sieve cages are synchronously and reversely rotated under the driving of the motor three and the gear transmission, and the minimum distance between the two screening rollers in the left and right sieve cages is the real-time caliber of the respective cage.
[0013] By adopting the above scheme, the conveying sieve cage of the constant coal feeder adjusts the minimum distance through the two synchronously and reversely rotating screening rollers, realizes the continuous adjustment of the inner diameter of the sieve cage, does not need to be disassembled in the whole adjustment process, has shorter single switching time, and has higher production line adaptability.
[0014] As an optimal implementation manner of the constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening, the motor two drives the conveying roller to unidirectionally rotate from the left sieve cage to the right sieve cage, the real-time caliber in the left sieve cage is always smaller than that in the right sieve cage, a gradient screening structure of “preliminary screening → fine screening” is formed, the left sieve cage separates smaller size coal first, the right sieve cage further separates larger size coal, and thus the smaller size coal and the larger size coal are screened out, and the screening efficiency can be improved.
[0015] As an optimal implementation manner of the constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening, the inner part of the cage bottom is further fixed with two guide plates located on the left and right sides and simultaneously inclined and lowered towards the middle, the coal conveyed by the conveying roller can be concentrated and guided between the adjacent two screening plates of the screening roller, and thus the conveying efficiency is improved.
[0016] As an optimal implementation manner of the constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are further connected between each adjacent two conveying plates and linearly arrayed along the axial direction of the conveying roller, the structural strength of the conveying plate is enhanced, and deformation or fracture caused by coal impact is prevented (especially suitable for large size coal screening scenes).
[0017] As an optimal implementation manner of the constant coal feeder for real-time coal screening, the thickness of the conveying plate and the screening plate gradually increases from the end part to the root part, a structure of “thin end part and thick root part” is formed, and the impact resistance of the root part is fully improved.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the constant coal feeder for real-time screening of coal, the coal feeder further comprises a plurality of supporting rollers which are longitudinally rotationally connected above the base and linearly arrayed along the conveying direction of the conveying belt; the upper surfaces of the supporting rollers are flush with the upper surfaces of the driving rollers and the driven rollers; this can effectively prevent the conveying belt from sagging due to the weight of coal, ensure smooth operation of the conveying belt, and avoid material scattering.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the constant coal feeder for real-time screening of coal, the coal feeder further comprises a tensioning assembly located below the base; the tensioning assembly comprises a tensioning roller one rotationally installed below the base, a tensioning roller two rotationally installed below the base, and a tensioning spring for pushing the tensioning roller two as a whole downward; the upper surface of the tensioning roller one is in contact with the conveying belt, and the lower surface of the tensioning roller two is in contact with the conveying belt; the spring elastic force is used to automatically compensate for the relaxation of the conveying belt, maintain constant tension, and prevent slipping.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the constant coal feeder for real-time screening of coal, the tensioning assembly further comprises two groups of anti-deviation rollers which are vertically arranged and rotationally installed on the base; the two groups of anti-deviation rollers are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the conveying belt and always limit the conveying belt between the two groups of anti-deviation rollers, so as to prevent the conveying belt from causing material jamming, screen cage blockage, or equipment damage due to deviation.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0022] 1. Dynamic adjustment with high flexibility: the conveying screen cage adjusts the minimum distance through two synchronously and reversely rotating screening rollers, realizes continuous adjustment of the inner diameter of the screen cage, does not need to be disassembled during the whole adjustment process, has shorter single switching time, and has higher production line adaptability.
[0023] 2. Gradient screening with improved efficiency: the conveying rollers cooperate with the "small inner diameter to large inner diameter" gradient structure of the left and right screen cage bodies to realize pre-screening and fine-screening classification of coal, so that smaller and larger size coal can be screened out, and the screening efficiency can be improved.
[0024] 3. Strong structure with high durability: the thickness gradient design and reinforcing rib arrangement of the material conveying plate and the screening plate effectively reduce the risk of component damage caused by high-density coal impact; the tensioning assembly and the anti-deviation rollers ensure long-term reliable operation of the conveying belt.
[0025] 4. Cost saving: no need to reserve multiple specifications of screen cage spare parts, reduce inventory cost, reduce downtime maintenance time, and indirectly improve economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
