Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation and conveying technology, specifically to a buffer device for a mining crushing conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] Mining crushing conveyor belts are a type of mining conveying equipment. Their buffer devices, often called "buffer beds," are installed on the underside of the receiving section of the belt, in contact with the non-working surface (bottom surface) of the upper belt. Their function is to convert the impact kinetic energy into elastic-plastic potential energy (elastic potential energy - plastic dissipated energy) through the elastic deformation of their own buffer strips when the coarsely crushed ore impacts the belt at high speed, thereby rapidly dissipating the impact energy. This reduces the instantaneous compressive stress on the belt, lowers the risk of longitudinal tearing, and disperses the impact load of the material on the frame, ensuring the safety and lifespan of the continuous transport system.

[0003] Existing buffer bed structures are generally quite simple, mostly using a combination of "ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sliding plates and high-elastic rubber strips". When subjected to material impact, all impact energy can only be absorbed once by the compression and rebound of the buffer strips, lacking adaptive stiffness adjustment capabilities. When large pieces of ore or a sudden increase in instantaneous flow, the buffer strips are easily compressed to their limit stroke, and the remaining impact energy will directly act on the belt and frame. If such situations occur frequently, the polyethylene layer on the surface of the buffer strips will quickly show chipping wear due to severe friction and impact, and the middle rubber layer will also undergo permanent collapse deformation due to excessive compression, resulting in a significant decrease in its buffering performance. At this time, the replacement cycle of the buffer strips will be greatly shortened to three to six months, which not only significantly increases the replacement frequency of the buffer strips, but also leads to an increase in the number of belt conveyor shutdowns for maintenance, thereby significantly increasing operating and maintenance costs. Therefore, based on the above problems, a buffer device for a mining crushing conveyor belt conveyor is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. In this invention, the structure including a support, buffer unit, lateral overload air supply support, and material guide allows the support to bear the load of each buffer unit, providing stable support. The buffer unit, through the cooperation of wear-resistant sliding plate, buffer strip, and auxiliary buffer components, effectively absorbs and disperses the impact force generated when the crushed ore falls, buffering the conveyor belt. When the weight of the crushed ore conveyed in the material guide exceeds the rated value, the lateral overload air supply support can respond in time, delivering gas to each support part through compressed air bags, causing the support parts to unfold and enhance the supporting force on the conveyor block, further improving the overall rigidity of the buffer unit and preventing... The excessive compression of the buffer strip reduces the buffer pressure on it, extending its service life. This allows the buffer device of the mining crushing conveyor belt to adaptively distribute the pressure on the buffer strip according to load changes under high impact and high flow conditions, significantly extending the service life of the buffer strip, thereby reducing its replacement frequency, reducing downtime for maintenance and labor and material expenditures, and effectively controlling maintenance and operating costs. This solves the problem that existing mining crushing conveyor belt buffer devices generally rely solely on buffer strips for buffering, which are prone to high buffer pressure due to overload, resulting in a shortened replacement cycle and high maintenance costs.

[0016] 2. In this invention, the material guide, lateral overload air support, and conveyor belt are designed to suspend the guide shell of the material guide on the upper side of the conveyor belt. When the crushed ore falls, it first enters the guide shell and then is guided by the internal rubber pad and the paired inclined guide plates, thus guiding and absorbing the energy of the crushed ore. This allows the crushed ore exiting the guide shell to fall onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt at a lower speed and with less impact force. The side baffles on both sides of the guide shell can apply lateral restraint to the exited crushed ore, preventing it from bouncing or rolling out of the conveyor belt. This avoids the high-speed material flow directly hitting the surface of the conveyor belt, significantly reducing the risk of local impact damage and longitudinal tearing, and effectively suppressing dust and material splashing. This ensures that the crushed ore falls accurately in the center area of ​​the conveyor belt, keeping the conveyor line clean and safe. Attached Figure Description

A sealing gasket 48 is installed between the mating bottom shell 41 and the mating cover 43. The mating cover 43 includes an upper... The shell plate 431, the lower shell plate 411 and the upper shell plate 431 face each other and are in contact with the upper and lower end faces of the sealing gasket 48.

When the buffer strip 47 reaches its service life due to aging and no longer has a buffering function, the buffer strip 47 can be replaced. Auxiliary buffer components 44 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the lower part of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46.The auxiliary buffer assembly 44 includes a pair of support rods 441 slidably connected to the guide hole 434. Each support rod 441 has a stop block 442 fixedly connected to its upper end. The upper surface of each stop block 442 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46. Each support rod 441 has a pressure guide block 443 fixedly connected to its lower end, located inside the upper guide groove 433. Each of the opposing inclined surfaces of the left and right pressure guide blocks 443 is slidably connected to a conduction block 444, which is slidably connected to the inner walls of the upper guide groove 433 and the lower guide groove 414. Each of the opposing surfaces of the left and right conduction blocks 444 has a spring groove 445, and a buffer spring 446 is installed between the left and right spring grooves 445. This arrangement allows the auxiliary buffer assembly 44 to support the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 and can cooperate with the buffer strip 4. 7. The material receiving of the conveyor belt 13 is buffered to share the buffer pressure on the buffer strip 47, thereby improving the service life of the buffer strip 47. A pair of support parts 45 are installed between the bottom shell 41 and the cover shell 43, and the support parts 45 are all located below the vent 435. The support part 45 includes a vent connector 451 inserted into the inner side of the upper air passage 432 and the lower air passage 412. The end of the vent connector 451 away from the interface 413 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 452 located inside the upper guide groove 433 and the lower guide groove 414. The inner side of the sleeve 452 has an air cavity 454 that communicates with the vent connector 451.

The lower side of the left and right air bladders 58 is fixedly connected to... A vent pipe 59 is provided in a connected manner, and the vent pipe 59 passes through the central hole and through groove 32 of the perforated bottom plate 52 on the left and right sides and is fixedly connected to the lower end of each pipe 42. A bracket 57 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the pressure plate 54. A guide part 6 is installed between the left and right brackets 57 on the upper side of the conveyor belt 13. With this arrangement, when the weight of crushed ore conveyed in the guide part 6 exceeds the rated value, the lateral overload air supply support 5 can respond in time and deliver gas to each support part 45 through the compressed air bag 58, so that the support part 45 unfolds and enhances the support force on the conduction block 444 of the auxiliary buffer component 44, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the buffer unit 4, preventing the buffer strip 47 from being over-compressed, reducing the buffer pressure on the buffer strip 47, and extending its service life.The upper surface of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper belt of the transmission belt 13.

Through this setting, during normal conveying, the damping limit rod 53, pressure plate 54, connecting frame 57, and guide shell 61, guide plate 62, and rubber pad 64 of the guide section 6 will not compress the individual support springs 55, and the individual support springs 55 The length will remain unchanged, so the airbag 58 will be in the deployed state. Only when the weight of the incoming material exceeds the rated conveying value will the support spring 55 be compressed. Only then will the airbag 58 change from the deployed and inflated state to the contracted state when the support spring 55 is compressed and can no longer provide effective support. The lower side of the pressure plate 54 is fixedly connected with a spacer 56 sleeved on the outside of the perforated bottom plate 52. The spacer 56 is sleeved on the outside of the airbag 58.

Magnetic blocks 26 are fixedly connected to the upper grooves of the extension seats 25. The guide part 6 includes a guide shell 61 fixed between the facing surfaces of the left and right side brackets 57. Guide plates 62 at different heights are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the guide shell 61. Mounting and positioning ports 63 are provided on the upper left and right sides of the guide plates 62, and are located on both sides of the guide shell 61. Rubber pads 64 are provided on the upper side of the guide plates 62. Side baffles 65 are provided on both the left and right sides of the guide shell 61. A through-type rail groove 66 is provided on the upper inner side of the side baffles 65. The inner side of the groove 66 is slidably connected to rail blocks 67, which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the guide shell 61. A pair of central connecting rods 68 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the left and right side baffles 65. A counterweight metal block 69 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each central connecting rod 68. The counterweight metal block 69 is magnetically attracted to the magnetic block 26. This arrangement allows the counterweight metal block 69, magnetic block 26, and central connecting rod 68 to position the side baffles 65, preventing them from moving with the vertical displacement of the guide shell 61. The facing surfaces of the left and right side baffles 65 are in contact with the upper edges of the transmission belt 13. The guide shell 61 is mounted on the transmission belt 13. On the upper side, the guide plates 62 are all set at an inclined angle, and the side baffles 65 are all set on both sides of the upper belt of the conveyor belt 13. Through this arrangement, the lateral overload air supply support 5 can suspend the guide shell 61 of the guide section 6 on the upper side of the conveyor belt 13 through the connecting frame 57. When the crushed ore falls, it first enters the guide shell 61, and then is guided by the inclined rubber pad 64 and the paired inclined guide plates 62, which reduces the impact force of the crushed ore. This allows the crushed ore discharged from the guide shell 61 to fall onto the upper belt surface of the conveyor belt 13 at a lower speed and with less impact force. The side baffles 65 on both sides of the guide shell 61 can apply lateral restraint to the discharged crushed ore to prevent it from rebounding on the conveyor belt 13. Alternatively, it can roll out onto the outside of the conveyor belt 13, thereby preventing the high-speed material flow from directly impacting the surface of the conveyor belt 13, significantly reducing the risk of local impact damage and longitudinal tearing, and effectively suppressing dust and material splashing. Both ends of the rubber pad 64 are set inside the mounting positioning port 63. This setting allows the rubber pad 64 to be removed and replaced from the mounting positioning port 63 after aging or damage. The thickness of the rubber pad 64 is greater than the height of the mounting positioning port 63. Both the front and rear ends of the rubber pad 64 protrude from the front and rear sides of the guide shell 61. This setting allows the two ends of the rubber pad 64 to be tightly positioned inside the mounting positioning port 63 in a compressed state.

[0042] Workflow: The buffer operation of the buffer device of the mining crushing conveyor belt is as follows. Note 1: In this invention, all support springs 55 are pre-compressed during the production and installation stage, thus possessing an upward "initial preload force." The total initial preload force of all support springs 55 is intentionally set to be greater than the sum of the self-weights of the damping limit rod 53, pressure plate 54, connecting frame 57, guide shell 61, guide plate 62, and rubber pad 64, as well as the weight of the material carried by the guide section 6 under normal rated flow. Because this upward preload force is always greater than the sum of the above weights, during normal material conveying, these weights will not cause the support springs 55 to contract, and the length of the support springs 55 remains constant. The airbag 58 between the pressure plate 54 and the porous bottom plate 52 is always fully expanded and inflated. Only when the material drop causes an instantaneous impact or the material flow rate suddenly increases, causing the weight of the material in the guide section 6 to exceed the above-mentioned rated value, will the additional downward impact force overcome the initial preload of the support spring 55, causing the upper part of the guide section 6 to move downward and compress the support spring 55. As the support spring 55 contracts, the distance between the pressure plate 54 and the porous bottom plate 52 decreases, the airbag 58 is compressed, and the gas inside it is quickly discharged and triggers the subsequent buffering action, thereby realizing the adaptive function of "constant expansion of the airbag (58) during normal conveying and instantaneous rapid exhaust during overload". Note 2 To ensure that the sum of the initial preload of all support springs 55 is greater than the sum of their individual weights, the following steps can be taken: First, determine the weight of each damping limit rod 53, pressure plate 54, connecting frame 57, guide shell 61, guide plate 62, and rubber pad 64 by weighing or calculation. Then, calculate the weight of the material contained in the guide section 6 during normal material guiding operation based on the rated flow rate. Add these two parts together to obtain the total weight, thereby determining the required upward thrust. Next, based on this thrust value, select the appropriate number, wire diameter, and elasticity of support springs 55. Note three: In the figures of this invention, the belt conveyor body 1 is part of an existing belt conveyor system. During operation, the conveyor belt... The belt 13 will move accordingly, and the guide section 6 is precisely installed at the crushing point to effectively guide and carry the material falling from the crushing equipment, ensuring that the material enters the conveyor belt 13 smoothly, thereby achieving efficient and continuous material conveying; Note 4: In this invention, the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 is a thickened polyethylene polymer wear-resistant plate. When it comes into contact with the conveyor belt 13 as a "sliding plate", it can be wear-resistant for a long time and is not easy to damage the conveyor belt 13. The expected continuous operating life is 3-6 years; Note 5: The "material" in the following text refers to the crushed ore; Guide operation: When the belt conveyor body 1 is running, its conveyor belt 13 makes continuous cyclic displacement along the frame 11 and the idler roller 12;After falling from the upstream chute, the crushed ore first enters the guide shell 61 and falls onto the rubber pads 64 laid on the upper surface of the inclined guide plates 62 inside the guide shell 61. The elastic cushioning of the rubber pads 64 prevents the ore from directly colliding with the metal guide plates 62 and generating excessive noise. Then, guided by two inverted "V"-shaped guide plates 62 arranged at different heights, the crushed ore slides down the inclined surface, gradually decreasing in speed and stabilizing. The ore continues to slide down until it passes through the bottom opening of the guide shell 61, falling at a lower speed and with less impact force onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 13, where it is transported away by the displaced conveyor belt 13. During this process, the side baffles 65 fixed on both sides of the guide shell 61 provide lateral restraint to the material, preventing the crushed ore from bouncing or rolling out of the belt. Through the aforementioned staged buffering and guiding, the crushed ore can be prevented from directly impacting the surface of the conveyor belt 13 at high speed, reducing the risk of local impact damage and longitudinal tearing to the conveyor belt 13. It can also effectively suppress material splashing, ensuring that the crushed ore falls accurately in the center area of ​​the conveyor belt 13, maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the conveying line. When the old rubber pad 64 needs to be replaced due to wear, simply remove both ends of the old rubber pad 64 from the installation positioning port 63 and replace it with a new rubber pad 64 in the original position. Multiple buffering operations: When the crushed ore falls onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 13, the weight of the ore and its falling kinetic energy are transmitted downwards through the conveyor belt 13, forming a concentrated impact force. This force first causes the conveyor belt 13 to undergo local elastic deformation, and then compresses each buffer unit 4 in the impact zone, causing the buffer unit 4 to perform buffering action. First, the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 is pushed vertically downwards under the impact, causing the buffer strip 47 below it to undergo compression deformation. The buffer strip 47, relying on the damping characteristics of the high-elasticity rubber, converts part of the impact kinetic energy into elastic-plastic potential energy (elastic potential energy - plastic dissipated energy) and dissipates it rapidly, realizing the first stage of energy absorption. Meanwhile, the downward movement of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 pushes each of the support rods 441 of the auxiliary buffer assembly 44 downward in sync. The support rods 441 drive the pressure guide block 443 to apply a lateral thrust to the transmission block 444, causing adjacent transmission blocks 444 to slide towards each other, thereby compressing the buffer spring 446. In this process, the buffer strip 47 acts as a viscous damper, suppressing the high-frequency oscillation of the buffer spring 446 and preventing elastic rebound from weakening the buffering effect. The reverse elastic force of the buffer spring 446 forms a second level of resistance to the downward movement of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46, further sharing the impact load, reducing the peak pressure borne by the buffer strip 47, and extending its service life.When the material guide section 6 experiences overload due to flow fluctuations during operation, and the weight of the material inside the guide shell 61 exceeds the rated value, the additional downward gravity will overcome the initial preload of each support spring 55, causing the guide shell 61 to move downward as a whole. The connecting frame 57, pressure plate 54, and damping limit rod 53 move downward simultaneously, the support springs 55 are compressed, the distance between the pressure plate 54 and the perforated bottom plate 52 decreases, and the airbag 58 contracts accordingly, forcing the gas inside it to be transported to each buffer unit 4 through the vent pipe 59. The airflow passes through the pipe 42 and the interface 413. The complete airway network formed by the lower airway 412 and the upper airway 432 flows into each support portion 45; the gas enters the air chamber 454 of the housing 452 through the vent connector 451, and is then evenly distributed to each folded ring bladder 456 through the ring grid opening 455, causing the folded ring bladder 456 to extend outward and apply an elastic thrust to the opposing surfaces of each pair of conduction blocks 444. This thrust, combined with the elastic force of the buffer spring 446, significantly increases the lateral displacement resistance of the conduction block 444 under impact, causing the support rod 441 of the auxiliary buffer assembly 44 to move downward. The reduced displacement limits the sinking depth of the wear-resistant sliding plate 46 under high impact, preventing excessive compression of the buffer strip 47. Consequently, the pressure on the buffer strip 47 under severe impact conditions is shared by the support part 45 and the auxiliary buffer assembly 44, reducing the buffering pressure on the buffer strip 47, decreasing its wear, extending its service life, and decreasing the replacement frequency. This continuous buffering process effectively reduces the instantaneous compressive stress on the transmission belt 13, lowering the risk of longitudinal tearing. It enables the buffer device of the mining crushing conveyor belt to adaptively distribute the pressure on the buffer strip 47 according to load changes under high impact and high flow conditions, significantly extending the service life of the buffer strip 47, thereby reducing its replacement frequency, reducing downtime for maintenance and labor and material expenditures, effectively controlling maintenance and operating costs. This solves the problem that existing mining crushing conveyor belt buffer devices generally rely solely on the buffer strip 47 for buffering, which is prone to high buffering pressure due to overload, leading to shortened replacement cycles and high maintenance costs.
