Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metallurgical mine hoisting machinery and equipment, in particular to a fixed bucket type metallurgical skip and its working method, which is suitable for vertical lifting and transportation of bulk materials in mining, metallurgy and other industries. Background Art

[0002] Vertical metallurgical skips are key lifting equipment used to transport ore and waste rock from underground mining to the surface. Currently, metallurgical skips are mainly divided into two categories: tipping skips and bottom-dumping skips, both of which are movable bucket-type skips.

[0003] In the prior art, the traditional movable bucket box type skip has the following defects: 1. The unloading drive guide wheel and safety lock hook adopt an integrated design and are located on the side of the bucket box, resulting in concentrated force on the components and severe wear; 2. The installation space is too compact, which can easily lead to stone accumulation and affect safety and reliability; 3. When the large-section and large-volume skip adopts the bottom supporting wheel and supporting wheel curved track structure, the unloading motion trajectory is limited, which makes it difficult to meet the unloading design requirements of deep well hoisting. 4. During unloading, the bucket box and the gate move at the same time, and the opening and closing resistance is large. At the same time, there is a gap between the bucket box and the frame, which easily jams the ore, causing the bucket box and the gate to be unable to close reliably, resulting in the failure of the safety lock and causing the bucket to open accidentally.

[0023] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the various embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but it should be noted that these embodiments are not limitations of the present invention, and any equivalent transformations or substitutions in functions, methods, or structures made by ordinary technicians in this field based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A specific embodiment of a working method of a fixed bucket box type metallurgical skip of the present invention is shown.

[0025] A working method of a fixed bucket-box metallurgical skip is based on a fixed bucket-box metallurgical skip, wherein the fixed bucket-box metallurgical skip comprises the following core components: 1. Frame components: The rigid frame made of steel plates and profiles bears the lifting load of the entire skip; The upper plate of the frame is equipped with a main suspension plate beam with a pin hole, and the lower plate is equipped with a tail rope beam. All components are connected and assembled with high-strength bolts and welding. Guide clamps are installed at the upper and lower ends of the frame to ensure stable guidance during the lifting process. The lower part of the frame is equipped with a material chute.

[0026] 2. Bucket box components: Located between the frame side panels, the bucket is a rectangular cylindrical structure, connected to the frame by welding or bolting to form an integral structure. The bottom of the rear side of the bucket is sloped, forming a bell-shaped structure that contracts toward the outlet. The lower part of the bottom two side panels is an arc-shaped structure.

[0027] 3. Gate assembly: The gate is located at the bottom of the bucket box and is connected to the bucket box and the frame side panels by rotating hinges. There is an arc-shaped bottom plate at the bottom of the gate, and fan-shaped baffles are provided on both sides, which are arranged parallel to the frame side panels and spaced apart to form an arc-shaped bottom gate.

[0028] 4. Unload the roller: There are two unloading rollers, which are fixed on the outer side of the lower part of the fan-shaped baffles on both sides of the gate.

[0029] 5. Gate limit device: The gate limit device is installed at the connection between the lower opening of the bucket box and the frame material guide groove, and is used to limit the position of the gate when it is closed.

[0030] 6.Safety protection structure A maintenance roof is provided at the top of the frame, which consists of a square frame and a conical top. It is used to protect personnel during maintenance and to protect the suspension device from falling rocks.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 and the bucket box 2 are connected by welding or bolts to form a rectangular box frame structure, a loading port 7 is provided on one side of the upper part, an arc-shaped discharge port is provided on one side of the lower mouth of the bucket box 2, and a slope 2-1 is provided at the opposite bottom end of the bucket to form a contracting trumpet structure toward the outlet direction, and the lower part of the two side plates at the bottom is an arc-shaped structure.

[0032] Gate 3 is located at the bottom of the bucket and connected to the bucket and frame side panels via rotating hinges. It features a curved bottom panel 3-2, with fan-shaped panels on either side, spaced parallel to the frame side panels. This curved bottom panel 3-2 cooperates with the lower curved side panels, the bucket front panel, and the opening of ramp 2-1 to form a sealed structure. In the absence of external forces, gate 3 remains closed due to its own weight and the interaction of the gate stop mechanism.

[0033] There are two unloading rollers, which are respectively fixed on the outer sides of the two side plates of the gate.

[0034] The safety shed can be fixed to the top of the frame by bolts or welding. It consists of a square frame and a conical top. It is used to protect personnel during maintenance and protect the suspension device from falling rocks.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is a structural diagram of the gate and the unloading roller. The counterweight 3-3 in the figure can ensure that the gate has a certain preload when closing to prevent the gate from opening accidentally. The reinforcing rib 3-4, the hinge shaft 3-5, and the unloading roller 4 are fixed to the outer side of the lower part of the two side plates of the gate by welding or bolting.

[0036] like Figure 5The figure shows the skip unloading process when the skip is at the unloading point. When the upward unloading roller of the skip enters the unloading guide rail of the unloading device and reaches the unloading point, the skip stops running and the unloading device opens the gate. After unloading is completed, the unloading device pushes back the gate. The unloading guide rail of the unloading device is in a vertical state and the skip can operate normally.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, when the skip moves downward to the loading point, the limiting guide rail 10 can press the unloading roller, and when loading into the skip, it can prevent the ore from breaking through the gate.

[0038] The working method of the fixed bucket type metallurgical skip of the present invention comprises the following steps: S1, Unloading Phase: The bucket moves upward to the unloading point, where an unloading mechanism is arranged. The unloading mechanism is provided with an unloading guide rail for guiding the unloading roller on the gate assembly. The unloading mechanism pulls the unloading guide rail, thereby driving the unloading roller and the gate assembly to open outward, and the material in the bucket box slides out along the bucket box slope and the bottom opening of the bucket box, and is directionally unloaded through the material chute at the bottom of the frame; S2, reset phase: After unloading, the unloading mechanism pushes the gate to close. When the bucket moves downward, the unloading roller is separated from the unloading guide rail, and the gate is closed by its own weight. S3, loading stage: The skip moves downwards to the loading point, where a limiting mechanism is arranged. The limiting mechanism can cooperate with the unloading roller to press the gate assembly arranged at the loading point to a closed state. During loading, the gate remains closed due to the impact force of the ore. S4. After loading is completed, the bucket moves upward and the unloading roller disengages from the limiting mechanism.

[0039] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
