Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mill technology, and in particular to a coal mill. Background Technology
[0002] Coal mills are indispensable core auxiliary equipment in industries that use coal as energy or raw material, such as coal-fired power generation, metallurgy, and chemical engineering. Their core function is to crush and grind lumpy raw coal into fine coal powder that meets combustion or process requirements, thereby improving coal combustion efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Based on differences in working principles and structures, common types of coal mills include ball mills, medium-speed mills (such as bowl mills and roller mills), and high-speed fan mills. Different types are suitable for different coal types and operating conditions, but all require core processes such as feeding, grinding, separation, and discharging to complete the operation. The chute, as a key component in the coal mill's feeding and material transfer system, acts as a "bridge" for material transport, primarily connecting the raw coal bunker, feeder, and grinding chamber of the coal mill. Some chutes are also used for the return transport of coarse powder after grinding, making them a crucial foundation for ensuring continuous feeding and stable operation of the coal mill.
[0003] Although the structure of a coal mill chute is relatively simple, it must balance wear resistance, flow guidance, and adaptability. Its design and materials must be tailored to the operating characteristics of the coal mill. Structurally, chutes often employ an inclined design, with the inclination angle precisely calculated to ensure the smooth descent of raw coal under gravity while preventing excessively high material flow rates that could cause impact wear. Some large coal mills also incorporate buffer sections or guide plates in their chutes to reduce direct impact from lumpy raw coal on the chute walls. In terms of materials, the inner walls of the chute are typically made of wear-resistant steel plates or composite wear-resistant materials. This is because raw coal often contains hard impurities such as gangue, which continuously erodes and rubs the chute walls during long-term transport. Wear-resistant materials extend the chute's service life. Furthermore, some chutes are equipped with observation ports and maintenance doors to facilitate staff inspection of material transport and timely handling of any abnormalities.
[0004] The chute walls are highly susceptible to coal ash blockage, a phenomenon caused by a combination of factors including material characteristics, chute structure, and changes in operating conditions. From a material perspective, raw coal absorbs moisture from the air during storage and transportation, especially hygroscopic coals like lignite. Increased moisture content causes the coal ash produced during grinding to form highly viscous wet powder. This wet powder is difficult to slide off completely by gravity when flowing through the chute and easily adheres to the chute walls. Simultaneously, the extremely fine coal ash particles have a large surface area and strong intermolecular adsorption, meaning even dry coal ash can easily accumulate on the wall surface due to electrostatic adsorption. From a structural perspective, if the chute's inclination angle is too small, the inner wall is worn and rough, or there are dead angles such as weld seams or corners, the material flow resistance will significantly increase, slowing the flow speed and causing coal ash to gradually accumulate in these areas.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0025] The chute 10, used for feeding and transferring materials in a coal mill, has a through-hole 101 on its outer wall. The edges of the hole are chamfered to prevent scratching the striking component 20 during assembly. A sealing gasket is fitted at the mating surface between the mounting hole 101 and the striking component 20 to prevent coal ash dust generated during coal mill operation from leaking through the assembly gap. The striking component 20, located within the mounting hole 101, has a core component called a fixing plate 21 that fits tightly against the inner wall of the mounting hole 101. This fixing plate 21 provides a stable assembly base for various striking components, ensuring stable transmission of striking action. The fixing plate 21 is equipped with a first striking plate 23 and a second striking plate 24 on the same horizontal direction. The two striking plates work together to thoroughly knock and clear blockages from the chute wall 10. The distance between the striking center of the first striking plate 23 and the axis of the fixed plate 21 is K1, and the distance between the striking center of the second striking plate 24 and the axis of the fixed plate 21 is K2, and K1 < K2. This design allows the two striking plates to cover areas of different radii on the inner wall of the chute 10, avoiding dead corners for clearing blockages. A feed inlet 102 is provided at the end of the chute 10. The edge of the feed inlet 102 is equipped with an anti-scratching edge structure to prevent the raw coal from being scratched by sharp edges. An inspection door 11 is hinged to the outer wall of the chute 10 via a hinge structure. The inner side of the inspection door 11 is equipped with a sealing strip, which can achieve a tight seal with the outer wall of the chute 10 when closed, preventing dust leakage and facilitating quick access for personnel to troubleshoot and clean the interior of the chute 10. A clamping plate 111 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the chute 10 for fixing the chute 10. The surface of the clamping plate 111 has a matching installation position, which can be precisely connected with the corresponding assembly structure of the coal mill body, improving the overall stability of the chute 10 after installation and resisting the vibration of the coal mill during operation. The inner wall of the chute 10 is detachably installed with several liners 12 by bolts. The liners are made of wear-resistant and impact-resistant material and the surface of the liners is treated with anti-slip treatment. This can reduce the direct wear of raw coal and coal ash on the inner wall of the chute 10, reduce the probability of material adhesion, and extend the service life of the chute 10. When the liners 12 are severely worn, they can be disassembled and replaced individually to reduce maintenance costs. A transmission groove 211 for assembling power components is provided at the center of the fixed disk 21. A positioning protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the transmission groove 211. A motor is fixedly installed inside the transmission groove 211, and the motor is limited and fixed to the inner wall of the transmission groove 211 by the positioning protrusion to prevent displacement during operation. A connecting shaft 22 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. A pressure plate 221 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 22. The pressure plate 221 is connected to the connecting shaft 22 by a tight fit. Its function is to provide axial limitation for the fixed disk 21 and surrounding assembled components, preventing axial movement of components during transmission and ensuring transmission stability. The first striking plate 23 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 21 via a pivot, and an elastic element 212 is provided between the first striking plate 23 and the fixed plate 21. The elastic element 212 is always in a pre-tightened state and can be quickly driven to reset after the first striking plate 23 completes the striking action, ensuring a continuous and stable striking effect. A first protrusion 232 is integrally formed on one side of the first striking plate 23. The first protrusion 232 is used to enhance the structural strength of this side and prevent the plate from deforming during the striking process. A pressing end 233 is provided on the side of the first striking plate 23 away from the first protrusion 232. The surface of the pressing end 233 is smoothed to facilitate smooth transmission when in contact with other components. An active groove 231 is opened on the end face of the first striking plate 23 to facilitate the movement of the second striking plate 24. The groove wall of the active groove 231 is rounded to prevent the second striking plate 24 from getting stuck when it moves. The second striking plate 24 is rotatably connected to the first striking plate 23 via a hinge 25, and a spring piece 234 is provided between them. The spring piece 234 has good elastic deformation capability, which can assist the second striking plate 24 in resetting and at the same time buffer the impact force between the two plates. The second striking plate 24 has a second protrusion 241 on the side away from the pressure plate 221. When the second protrusion 241 contacts the inner wall of the chute 10, it forms a concentrated striking force, which improves the cleaning effect of coal ash adhering to the chute wall, and the protrusion structure can reduce the wear of the striking plate body.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
