Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of ship unloading equipment, in particular to a screw conveyor for cement clinker. Background Art

[0002] A ship unloader utilizes a continuous conveying mechanism to create a head capable of lifting bulk materials. It can also be equipped with self-retrieving capabilities or equipped with retrieving and feeding devices. This allows the bulk materials to be continuously lifted from the ship's hold and then unloaded onto a boom or frame for transport to the shore's main conveyor system. Using a ship unloader significantly improves unloading efficiency, minimizes dust pollution, and maintains a clean environment, resulting in high efficiency and environmental protection.

[0003] Existing screw conveyors generally use a vertical screw conveying device in conjunction with a horizontal conveying device to achieve conveying. However, in the actual cement clinker conveying process, material accumulation problems may occasionally occur, which in turn causes the screw conveyor to jam. The main factor is that the spiral resistance of the material in a certain section of the conveying pipeline is too large, which in turn affects the speed of the screw. Therefore, a drive chute is generally equipped at the end section and combined with a negative pressure fan to achieve conveying.

[0004] Cement clinker is a semi-finished product obtained by mixing limestone, clay and iron raw materials into raw materials in appropriate proportions, burning them until they are partially or completely melted, and cooling them. Therefore, cement clinker is composed of lumps of different sizes and accompanied by powder.

[0005] Therefore, the driving chute cannot realize the transportation of cement clinker. However, in the actual final section and horizontal section of the spiral conveyor, powdered cement clinker will appear, causing the block structure to slip, thereby affecting the transportation. If a fan is used, it will cause a lot of external dust, causing environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a screw conveyor for cement clinker, which aims to adopt a spiral conveying structure in combination with a shaftless impeller drive to reduce material accumulation and ensure stable conveying. It can further reduce bag replacement or even eliminate the need for bags, thereby improving production stability.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a screw conveyor for cement clinker, comprising: A walking mechanism, wherein a tower body is provided above the walking mechanism, A rotating tower, which is arranged at the top of the tower body; The horizontal arm is swingably mounted on the rotating tower, and the horizontal arm is provided with a horizontal conveying cavity, and the horizontal conveying cavity is provided with a horizontal spiral shaft. The rotating tower controls the swing of the front end of the horizontal arm through a first hydraulic rod, and the rotating tower is provided with a rotating drive assembly to drive the horizontal arm to rotate along its axis; The rear end of the horizontal arm is provided with a horizontal driving device for driving the horizontal screw shaft to rotate; A vertical arm, the vertical arm being swingably mounted at the end of the horizontal arm, the vertical arm being provided with a vertical screw shaft, and a vertical driving device for driving the vertical screw shaft to rotate being provided at the rear end of the vertical arm; The end section of the vertical arm is also provided with a material taking head, and the end section of the vertical arm is provided with a material taking rotating device for driving the material taking head to rotate; The horizontal arm is provided with a horizontal feed inlet and a horizontal discharge port, and the vertical arm is provided with a vertical feed inlet and a vertical discharge port; The horizontal discharge port is connected to a driving chute; The spiral conveying module includes an outer pipe, an inner pipe, and multi-curved blades extending from the inner pipe. The outer pipe is provided with a magnetic induction coil 24, and the inner pipe is integrally formed with a permanent magnet. The outer pipe and the inner pipe are made of non-magnetic materials. The multi-curved blades are provided in plurality and extend in the axial direction to form an axis-avoiding groove. The spiral conveying module includes a first spiral conveying module and a second spiral conveying module; The horizontal arm is composed of multiple sections of horizontal pipes, and the first spiral conveying modules are arranged between adjacent horizontal pipes. The horizontal pipes are connected to the horizontal pipes through screws or first couplings. The horizontal spiral shaft is provided with a smooth section at the position of the first spiral conveying module, and the smooth section is arranged at the position of the shaft avoidance groove; The driving chute is composed of multiple sections of trough pipes, and adjacent trough pipes are connected by a second spiral conveying module.

[0008] Technical effects of the present invention: 1. The embedded spiral conveying module can effectively increase the fluid pressure and avoid the accumulation of single mechanical conveying, which causes the problem of increased resistance of some sections of the spiral shaft; 2. The design of the multi-curved blades (i.e., the inner spiral structure) can not only meet the requirements of imitating spiral conveying of cement clinker (the multi-curved blades are provided in plurality and spaced apart along the inner pipe body, wherein the multi-curved surfaces are wavy blades extending along the inner pipe), but also can form a predetermined flow pressure, thereby achieving imitating spiral conveying while increasing the flow rate in the pipe, and can also perform spiral conveying of cement clinker; 3. Although the spiral conveying module has a simple structure, it can transport horizontal pipelines in sections, thereby reducing the high transportation costs of large machinery. At the same time, it also serves as a coupling, achieving dual purposes. The shaft-avoiding groove design effectively solves the problem that the spiral shaft cannot be increased to improve the conveying effect. 4. The use of a spiral conveying module can achieve a bagless design, thereby realizing the transportation of cement clinker. Its structure is more stable and the noise is lower, avoiding the problems of no load and particle slippage, and further reducing the problem of accumulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Specifically, the inner pipe 22 and the outer pipe 21 are formed by casting aluminum alloy, preferably hard aluminum alloy, so as to meet the processing requirements of large-scale machinery.

[0023] Specifically, a support rod extends upward from the tower body 10 , a plurality of second hydraulic rods extend from the top end of the support rod toward the horizontal arm 12 , and a weight-bearing balance block is provided at the rear end of the horizontal arm 12 .

[0027] Transport capacity Q = 47⋅D2⋅n⋅ψ⋅ρ⋅C D=0.8m, speed n=200rpm, Filling ratio ψ = 0.3 (cement clinker); Density ρ = 1.5t / m 3 , inclination coefficient C=1; Calculation shows: Q ≈ 90t / h (meets the needs of medium-sized cement plants).

[0028] Flow pressure forming ability, linear velocity at the end of multi-curved blade 23: v=πDn / 60≈8.4m / s; Flow pressure value: ΔP=0.5⋅ζ⋅ρair⋅v2≈0.8kPa (ζ=1.2, ρ a ᵢᵣ=1.2kg / m 3 ).
