Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ore accumulation cleaning, and in particular to an ore accumulation cleaning device for copper-nickel ore beneficiation raw ore bins. Background Technology
[0002] Ore accumulation clearing is a specialized operation in the mining, beneficiation, and transportation processes. It refers to the removal of ore, slag, gangue, and other materials that accumulate in areas such as roadways, ore chutes, ore bins, belt conveyors, and inside crushing equipment during the production process. It is a key process to ensure continuous and safe production in mines. In industries such as mining, mineral processing, and coal preparation, raw materials are typically transported from the raw material site to the unloading port by rail. The raw material involved in this invention is copper-nickel sulfide ore. Because the ore is poured into the ore bin, it can only slide down onto the conveyor belt below the bin by gravity. Furthermore, due to the high viscosity of the ore, a large amount of ore will solidify on the inner wall of the ore bin, causing blockage at the unloading port and hindering efficient transportation of raw materials. This slows down the unloading efficiency of the ore train. At the same time, manual cleaning of the bin is required, which is extremely harmful to people and can cause occupational diseases such as pneumoconiosis. Various vehicles often pass through the on-site working environment, causing serious noise pollution and posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, we propose a copper-nickel ore beneficiation raw ore bin accumulation cleaning device. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a copper-nickel ore beneficiation raw ore bin cleaning device. This device controls the raising of a mechanical boom to lift the lower ripper body, and the lowering of the mechanical boom to lower the ripper body. The boom cylinder and the forearm cylinder work in tandem, giving the ripper body an inward and outward swing structure. A rotary motor further enables the ripper body to rotate left and right. Monitoring cameras are installed at both ends of the mechanical boom to observe its rotation angle, preventing collisions during operation and indirectly observing the location of accumulated ore inside the ore bin, thus achieving precise ore cleaning.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A copper-nickel ore beneficiation raw ore storage and cleaning device includes a moving mechanism, a control mechanism installed at the upper end of the moving mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism installed at the front end of the control mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a mechanical boom, with boom cylinders fixedly installed at the middle of both ends of the boom, and a forearm cylinder fixedly installed at the middle of the upper end of the boom. A forearm is movably connected to the front end of the boom, and a ripper cylinder is fixedly installed at the middle of the front end of the forearm. A rotary motor is fixedly installed at the lower end of the forearm, and a ripper body is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotary motor. Two monitoring cameras are fixedly installed above the boom cylinders at both ends of the boom. The boom and forearm are connected by a movable structure. The connection structures between the boom cylinders and the boom, and between the forearm cylinders and the forearm, are also movable structures, which are existing technologies and will not be elaborated further here. With the above-mentioned movable connection structure, the movement of any component can affect the linkage of other components, so that the structure forms a movement trajectory with cleaning function.
[0005] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a slide rail, a rail clamp is movably mounted on the upper end of the slide rail, a flatbed cart is fixedly mounted on the inner end of the rail clamp, and a monitoring camera is fixedly mounted on both the front and rear ends of the flatbed cart. The slide rail and the rail clamp are compatible. Before installing this device, the matching slide rail needs to be installed in the copper-nickel ore beneficiation bin to facilitate the installation of the flatbed cart.
[0006] Furthermore, the control mechanism includes a driver's cab, with a seat fixedly installed at the rear of the driver's cab, a main controller fixedly installed in front of the seat, a display screen fixedly installed at the front of the driver's cab, and a variable pump motor fixedly installed on the side below the display screen. By providing a seat, operators can comfortably sit on it to perform remote cleaning work. During operation, the display screen shows the real-time monitoring of the raw ore bin and displays the limit status of the cleaning mechanism. The main controller can remotely control the start and stop of the cleaning mechanism, display liquid system values, and various parameter alarm statuses.
[0007] Furthermore, the mechanical boom is movably mounted in the middle of the front end of the cab, and the boom cylinder is fixedly connected to the cab.
[0008] Furthermore, the two surveillance cameras are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the left and right ends of the mechanical arm.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of slide rails is two, and the rail clamps are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the flatbed.
[0010] Furthermore, the surveillance cameras are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the front and rear ends of the flatbed truck.
[0011] Furthermore, the cockpit is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the flatbed truck.
[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By controlling the mechanical boom to rise, the lower ripper body is driven to rise; by controlling the mechanical boom to fall, the lower ripper body is driven to fall. In this structure, the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder are used in conjunction to give the ripper body an inward and outward swing structure. At the same time, the rotary motor can be used to make the ripper body rotate left and right for operation. In addition, two monitoring cameras are installed at the left and right ends of the mechanical boom to observe the rotation angle of the mechanical boom to prevent the mechanical boom from bumping during operation. They can also be used to indirectly observe the location of ore accumulation inside the ore bin to achieve precise ore cleaning. 2. By setting up a seat, operators can comfortably sit on it to perform remote cleaning work. During operation, the screen can display the real-time monitoring screen of the original ore bin and show the status of each limit switch when the cleaning mechanism is operated. The main controller can remotely control the start and stop of the cleaning mechanism, display liquid system values, various parameter alarm statuses, etc. At the same time, a monitoring camera is installed at both ends of the flatbed truck to monitor the on-site equipment and personnel, including equipment operation limits, ore bin material level, personnel entry status, etc. Attached Figure Description

A monitoring camera 308 is fixedly installed above the boom cylinder 302. The mechanical boom 301 and the mechanical arm 304 are connected by a movable structure. Similarly, the connection structure between the boom cylinder 302 and the mechanical boom 301, and the connection structure between the arm cylinder 303 and the mechanical arm 304 are also movable connection structures, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. With the above-mentioned movable connection structure, the movement of any component can affect the linkage of other components, so that the structure forms a movement trajectory with a cleaning function.
[0018] The moving mechanism 1 includes a slide rail 101, a rail clamp 102 is movably mounted on the upper end of the slide rail 101, a flatbed cart 103 is fixedly mounted on the inner end of the rail clamp 102, and a monitoring camera 104 is fixedly mounted on both the front and rear ends of the flatbed cart 103. The slide rail 101 and the rail clamp 102 are compatible. Before installing this device, the matching slide rail 101 needs to be installed in the copper-nickel ore beneficiation bin to facilitate the installation of the flatbed cart 103.
[0019] The control mechanism 2 includes a driver's cab 201. A seat 202 is fixedly installed at the rear of the driver's cab 201.

The connection structure between the driver's cab 201 and the flatbed 103 is an adjustable rotatable connection structure. The existing technology is relatively mature and will not be described in detail here. The driver's cab 201 is installed on the upper end of the flatbed 103. The movement of the flatbed 103 can drive the synchronous movement of the driver's cab 201, which facilitates the cleaning of multiple locations in the copper-nickel ore bin.
[0025] Specific implementation process: This invention is a device for cleaning accumulated copper-nickel ore in a raw ore bin. When cleaning accumulated copper-nickel ore in a raw ore bin, firstly, a slide rail 101 is installed inside the raw ore bin. A flatbed cart 103 forms a movable connection structure with the slide rail 101 via a rail clamp 102. Then, the device is connected to the main power switch, the main controller 203 is turned on, and the emergency stop switch is pulled out. At this time, the main controller 203 establishes a communication connection. Then, the start and stop buttons are pressed intermittently to observe the variable pump. If the rotation direction of motor 205 is incorrect, the power input phase sequence needs to be adjusted, and the variable pump motor 205 needs to be restarted. The variable pump motor 205 is controlled by a soft starter. It can only begin operation approximately 3-5 minutes after starting. The mechanical boom 301 is raised to lift the lower ripper body 307, and lowered to lower the ripper body 307. In this structure, the boom cylinder 302 and the arm cylinder 303 are used in conjunction. The ripper body 307 has an inward and outward swing structure, and is used in conjunction with a rotary motor 306 to allow the ripper body 307 to rotate left and right. In the above structure, monitoring cameras 104 are installed at the front and rear ends of the flatbed trolley 103 to monitor the on-site equipment and personnel, including equipment operation limits, ore bin material level, and personnel entry. Similarly, monitoring cameras 308 are installed at the left and right ends of the mechanical arm 301 to observe the rotation angle of the mechanical arm 301 to prevent the mechanical arm 301 from bumping during operation. They can also indirectly observe the ore accumulation position inside the ore bin to achieve precise ore cleaning. The various components of this device complement each other. In the process of cleaning the ore accumulation in the copper-nickel beneficiation raw ore bin, the monitoring screen 204 can display the raw ore bin monitoring screen in real time, and display the limit status when the cleaning mechanism 3 is operated. The main controller 203 is set to remotely control the start and stop of the cleaning mechanism 3, display system values, various parameter alarm statuses, etc.
