[0044] In order to better explain the present application, so as to be understood, the following specific embodiments, combined with the drawings, the present application is described in detail. In this paper, the "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other orientation of the text with the orientation of the reference. Figure 1

[0045] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the following will be described in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Although the drawings show the exemplary embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to make the present application more clearly, thoroughly, and to convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a telescopic belt conveyor for underground coal mine roadway, which comprises a main belt conveyor 1, an extension belt conveyor 2, a telescopic mechanism 8, a turnover mechanism 3, a power mechanism 9, a main support 4, an auxiliary support 5 and a locking universal wheel 6.

[0048] ​The extension belt conveyor 2 is located at the lower side of the main belt conveyor 1, and the telescopic mechanism 8 can drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to extend or retract along the belt conveying direction compared with the main belt conveyor 1. The end of the extension belt conveyor 2 close to the main belt conveyor 1 is the feeding end, and the end away from the main belt conveyor 1 is the discharging end. When the extension belt conveyor 2 is in the fully extended state compared with the main belt conveyor 1, the turnover mechanism 3 can drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to turn around the feeding end to adjust the discharging angle of the extension belt conveyor 2, and the discharging end of the extension belt conveyor 2 is supported in a liftable manner. Then, two main supports 4 are fixed to the bottom end of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 along the belt conveying direction, and the lower ends of the two main supports 4 are preferably fixed and connected as an integral structure by a connecting plate. A secondary support 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the frame of the extension belt conveyor 2 away from the main belt conveyor 1, and the secondary support 5 is telescopic in the vertical direction to provide liftable support for the discharging end of the extension belt conveyor 2. Further, two locking universal wheels 6 are fixed to the bottom of each main support 4 and secondary support 5. The main support 4 is used to stably support the main belt conveyor 1, and the locking universal wheels 6 at the bottom facilitate the movement of the conveyor. The secondary support 5 is used to assist in supporting and positioning the extension belt conveyor 2, ensuring that the extension belt conveyor 2 still has high stability when extended to the maximum position, and the locking universal wheels 6 at the bottom facilitate the movement of the secondary support 5 when extended or retracted. At the same time, the secondary support 5 and the locking universal wheels 6 at the bottom also ensure that the extension belt conveyor 2 can be horizontal in the initial state.

[0049] As shown in Figure 3 The telescopic mechanism 8 is located at the lower side of the extension belt conveyor 2, and includes a mounting plate 81, a moving seat 82, a fixed plate 83, a threaded screw rod 84, a first driving motor 85, and a guide rod 86.

[0050] Two installation plates 81 are symmetrically distributed in the vertical direction of the belt conveying, and are rotationally connected to the two sides of the frame of the extended belt conveyor 2. The moving seat 82 is fixedly connected between the two installation plates 81, and is preferably connected to the lower ends of the two installation plates 81. Two fixed plates 83 are fixed to the two end positions of the bottom of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 in the belt conveying direction. Further, a threaded screw rod 84 is rotationally installed between the two fixed plates 83, and the threaded screw rod 84 penetrates through the moving seat 82 and is connected to the moving seat 82 by screwing. The first driving motor 85 is fixed outside the fixed plate 83, and the output end thereof is connected to the threaded screw rod 84, for driving the threaded screw rod 84 to rotate. When the first driving motor 85 drives the threaded screw rod 84 to rotate, the moving seat 82 can be moved in the belt conveying direction, so as to drive the extended belt conveyor 2 to extend or retract in the belt conveying direction compared with the main belt conveyor 1 through the installation plate 81, that is, in use, the first driving motor 85 is started to drive the threaded screw rod 84 to rotate, and under the screwing action, the moving seat 82 drives the extended belt conveyor 2 to move. In order to further improve the stability of the extended belt conveyor 2 during movement, two guide rods 86 are fixedly arranged between the two fixed plates 83, and the two guide rods 86 are horizontally arranged at the two sides of the threaded screw rod 84, and the two guide rods 86 both penetrate through the moving seat 82. That is, the moving seat 82 is provided with through holes for the guide rods 86 to penetrate, and there is a certain gap between the through holes and the guide rods 86, so that the moving seat 82 can slide on the guide rods 86, thereby providing a guiding effect for the movement of the moving seat 82, that is, the stability of the extended belt conveyor 2 can be further improved by improving the stability of the moving seat 82.

[0051] As Figure 2As shown, the turnover mechanism 3 is arranged near the feeding end of the extended belt conveyor 2, which comprises a fixed shaft 31, a worm wheel 32, a U-shaped support 33 and a worm 34. The outer side wall of the frame of the extended belt conveyor 2 is fixedly connected with the worm wheel 32 through the fixed shaft 31, and the fixed shaft 31 penetrates the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 and can slide along the belt conveying direction compared with the main belt conveyor 1. As a preferred embodiment, the fixed shaft 31 is fixed on the outer side wall of the frame of the extended belt conveyor 2, and a guide sliding hole 101 along the belt conveying direction is arranged on the outer side wall of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 near the end of the turnover mechanism 3. The fixed shaft 31 penetrates the guide sliding hole 101 and can slide along the guide sliding hole 101 (i.e. along the belt conveying direction). The worm wheel 32 is fixed on the end of the fixed shaft 31 away from the extended belt conveyor 2. Preferably, a rubber sleeve 37 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 31, and the fixed shaft 31 is adhesively fixed with the rubber sleeve 37. Since the rubber sleeve 37 has a certain flexibility, it can effectively reduce the sliding friction between the fixed shaft 31 and the inner wall of the guide sliding hole 101. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the rubber sleeve 37 can also be replaced by a bearing. The outer ring of the bearing is in contact with the inner wall of the guide sliding hole 101, so that the sliding friction is changed into the rolling of the outer ring of the bearing.

[0052] Further, the U-shaped support 33 is slidingly connected to the outer side wall of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 along the belt conveying direction, and the worm 34 is rotatably installed in the U-shaped support 33. The worm 34 corresponds to the position of the worm wheel 32 and is in meshing engagement with the worm wheel 32. As a preferred embodiment, a T-shaped guide sliding groove 102 along the belt conveying direction is also arranged on the outer side wall of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 near the end of the turnover mechanism 3. The guide sliding groove 102 is arranged on the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 in an upper and lower distribution manner with the guide sliding hole 101, and the relative positions therebetween need to be set in coordination with the relative positions of the worm 34 and the worm wheel 32. The U-shaped support 33 is provided with a T-shaped sliding block 331 matched with the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102. The T-shaped sliding block 331 can be fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped support 33 or can be integrally formed with the U-shaped support 33. The T-shaped sliding block 331 can be embedded in the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102 and slide along the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102 (i.e. along the belt conveying direction), so as to make the U-shaped support 33 slide along the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102. Therefore, the U-shaped support 33 is slidingly connected to the outer side wall of the frame of the main belt conveyor 1 through the cooperation of the T-shaped sliding block 331 and the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102, which can effectively improve the stability of the movement of the U-shaped support 33.

[0053] The cooperation of the guide sliding hole 101 and the fixed shaft 31 and the cooperation of the T-shaped guide sliding groove 102 and the T-shaped sliding block 331 enable the turnover mechanism 3 to move synchronously with the extension belt conveyor 2 when the extension belt conveyor 2 is extended or retracted relative to the main belt conveyor 1. In order to further improve the stability of the extension belt conveyor 2, an auxiliary supporting roller 201 can be arranged in the guide sliding hole 101. Specifically, the outer side walls on the left and right sides of the main belt conveyor 1 are each provided with a guide sliding hole 101, and the end of the guide sliding hole 101 close to the extension belt conveyor 2 is an opening penetrating the outer side wall of the main belt conveyor 1. Further, on the left and right side walls of the rack of the extension belt conveyor 2, an auxiliary supporting roller 201 can be detachably installed at a position corresponding to the guide sliding hole 101, and the two auxiliary supporting rollers 201 are respectively arranged in the guide sliding hole 101 on the same side thereof and located at a position close to the opening of the guide sliding hole 101. The auxiliary supporting roller 201 can further support the extension belt conveyor 2 to ensure its stability during movement. It should be noted that when the inclination angle of the extension belt conveyor 2 needs to be adjusted, the auxiliary supporting roller 201 needs to be moved out of the guide sliding hole 101, that is, the auxiliary supporting roller 201 needs to be removed before driving the extension belt conveyor 2 to turn, so as to avoid motion interference.

[0054] Then, by driving the worm 34 to rotate, the worm gear 32 can be driven to rotate synchronously, and then the extension belt conveyor 2 is driven to turn by the fixed shaft 31. Preferably, the worm 34 is driven to rotate by a third driving motor 35 fixed on the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped support 33, and the output shaft of the third driving motor 35 is fixedly connected with the worm 34. Further, in order to ensure the stability of the turnover mechanism 3 during operation and avoid large vibration during transmission of the components, a retainer 36 can be additionally arranged in the turnover mechanism 3. The retainer 36 is fixed on the U-shaped support 33 and rotatably connected with the end of the fixed shaft 31 extending out of the worm gear 32. Specifically, the retainer 36 has an L-shaped structure, the angle between the two edges of the L-shaped structure is obtuse, the free ends of the two edges are respectively connected to the two side walls of the U-shaped support 33, and the intersection of the two edges is rotatably connected with the extending end of the fixed shaft 31 by a bearing. It can also be understood that the retainer 36 is arranged above the worm gear 32, and forms a triangular structure with the two side walls of the U-shaped support 33 and the fixed shaft 31, so as to improve the stability of the fixed shaft 31 and ensure that the extension belt conveyor 2 can reliably drive the turnover mechanism 3 to move when extending or retracting.

[0055] It should be noted that in the turnover mechanism 3, the transmission ratio of the worm 34 and the worm gear 32 is preferably set to 1:30 (other ratios can also be designed as needed, but not too small), to have the function of speed reduction and torque amplification. For example, the third drive motor 35 (rated power of 5.5kW, rated speed of 1450rpm), which outputs a torque of about 36N•m under rated operating conditions (calculated according to the torque formula, torque T=9550×rated power P / rated speed n), and then through the worm 34 and the worm gear 32, the output torque can be amplified from about 36N•m to more than 8000N•m.

[0056] The weight of the extension belt conveyor 2 (including the frame) should not be too high (about 500kg), and the turnover radius (such as 1.2m), then according to the existing formula, the maximum turnover torque required is about 6000N•m, and the amplified torque of the third drive motor 35 can fully cover it.

[0057] As shown in Figure 5 As a preferred embodiment, the rotational connection between the mounting plate 81 and the extension belt conveyor 2 can be achieved by the following structure, that is, a fixed shaft 31 is arranged on the outer side wall of the left and right sides of the frame of the extension belt conveyor 2, and then a shaft hole 811 adapted to the fixed shaft 31 is formed on the upper end of the mounting plate 81, and the fixed shaft 31 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole 811. The shaft hole 811 on the mounting plate 81 and the fixed shaft 31 are clearance-fitted, or a bearing is arranged therebetween for connection, so that the mounting plate 81 and the bottom end of the frame of the extension belt conveyor 2 form a rotational connection, and the rotation of the fixed shaft 31 will drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to rotate around the fixed shaft 31 as the rotation axis, relative to the mounting plate 81.

[0058] In order to limit the turning angle of the extension belt conveyor 2 and avoid collision with the rack during the turning process, a limiting rod 202 is fixed on the side of the rack of the extension belt conveyor 2, and an arc-shaped waist hole 812 is formed on the mounting plate 81 corresponding to the position of the limiting rod 202. During the turning process of the belt conveyor 2, the limiting rod 202 fixed on the side of the rack of the extension belt conveyor 2 will slide along the arc-shaped waist hole 812 on the mounting plate 81. The arc-shaped trajectory of the arc-shaped waist hole 812 matches the turning trajectory of the extension belt conveyor 2 around the fixed shaft 31, which not only provides a sliding space for the limiting rod 202 and ensures smooth turning, but also forms a physical barrier for the limiting rod 202 through the two end hole walls of the arc-shaped waist hole 812, thereby limiting the maximum turning angle of the extension belt conveyor 2 (to avoid excessive turning and cause interference between the extension belt conveyor 2 and the support, roadway wall, etc. At the same time, the structural stability of the extension belt conveyor 2 during the turning process is further improved to prevent shaking or deviation during the turning process, so as to adapt to the complex space environment of the coal mine underground roadway and the safety operation requirements. The turning range of the extension belt conveyor 2 is preferably within ±30°.

[0059] The turning of the extension belt conveyor 2 can be upward or downward to adapt to different unloading scenarios, for example:

[0060] When unloading to a high place (such as transferring to a branch chute above the roadway, a transfer point or a high-level storage device), there is water or silt at the bottom of the roadway, and the discharge end needs to be lifted to avoid pollution or equipment from being wet, or when lifting the operation to realize close-range high-place material conveying in cooperation with the heading face, the extension belt conveyor 2 can be driven to turn upward.

[0061] When unloading to a low place (such as unloading into a mine car, a scraper conveyor or a low-level chute at the bottom of the roadway), the space above the roadway is narrow (low-clearance roadway), upward conveying is limited, or material grading conveying needs to be connected to a low-position device, the extension belt conveyor 2 can be driven to turn downward.

[0062] The telescopic belt conveyor shown in the embodiment is arranged at a material conveying station in a coal mine underground roadway during use, the main belt conveyor 1 and the extension belt conveyor 2 are started, the coal is conveyed to the extension belt conveyor 2 by the main belt conveyor 1, and then conveyed by the extension belt conveyor 2.

[0063] When the total conveying length needs to be adjusted, the adjusting mechanism 8 is started, the first driving motor 85 drives the threaded screw rod 84 to rotate, and since the moving seat 82 is connected with the threaded screw rod 84 through a threaded screwing mode, the moving seat 82 will drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to move, so that the extension belt conveyor 2 is extended to a suitable position, so as to expand the overall length of the telescopic belt conveyor and meet different conveying requirements.

[0064] When it is necessary to drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to overturn to adjust the angle of the discharge end, it is further necessary to drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to extend to a non-interference position close to the end of the main belt conveyor 1 (to avoid collision with the rack of the main belt conveyor 1 during overturning) by the adjusting mechanism 8. Then, the overturning mechanism 3 is started, the worm 34 is driven to rotate by the third driving motor 35, the worm 34 drives the worm wheel 32 to rotate through meshing transmission, the worm wheel 32 is rigidly fixed with the fixed shaft 31, and then the fixed shaft 31 is driven to rotate around its own axis, because the mounting plate 81 is provided with the shaft hole 811 for the fixed shaft 31 to penetrate, when the fixed shaft 31 rotates, the extension belt conveyor 2 is driven to rotate around the fixed shaft 31 as the rotating shaft, and the mounting plate 81 is stably overturned. During overturning, it can be selected to overturn upward or downward according to the conveying requirements, so as to meet different conveying requirements, and the application range is wide.

[0065] It should be noted that, in order to avoid motion interference, the overturning mechanism 3 can be started only when the extension belt conveyor 2 extends to the position close to the end of the main belt conveyor 1 to adjust the angle of the extension belt conveyor 2. In addition, the belt conveyor is a very common conveying equipment on the market, and specific reference can be made to the belt conveyor in the prior art, and excessive details will not be described herein.

[0066] Further, as the height of the extension belt conveyor 2 far from the main belt conveyor 1 end changes when it is turned over, the sub support 5 in the embodiment is telescopic in the vertical direction to adapt to the change in height. As a preferred embodiment, the sub support 5 comprises a U-shaped chassis 51, adjustable struts 52 and locking bolts 53. The free ends of the two vertical beams of the U-shaped chassis 51 are provided with cavities 511. The two adjustable struts 52 are symmetrically distributed left and right, the top ends of which are respectively rotatably connected with the racks of the left and right sides of the extension belt conveyor 2, and the relative position relationship between the adjustable struts 52 and the racks of the extension belt conveyor 2 can be selectively locked (i.e. the relative rotation between them is allowed when the extension belt conveyor 2 is turned over, and is locked after turning over to prohibit the relative rotation between them). The bottom ends of the adjustable struts 52 are respectively slidably embedded in the cavities 511 of the two vertical beams of the U-shaped chassis 51 to form a telescopic structure. Further, a first positioning groove 512 is provided at the upper end of each of the two vertical beams of the U-shaped chassis 51 (the region overlapping the adjustable struts 52), and a plurality of second positioning grooves 521 are provided on each of the two adjustable struts 52 and are equally spaced in the telescopic direction. The first positioning groove 512 and the second positioning groove 521 are provided at the same side, and the first positioning groove 512 can be selectively aligned with any second positioning groove 521 at the same side. The locking bolt 53 is installed in the first positioning groove 512 on the U-shaped chassis 51 by screwing and is embedded in the second positioning groove 521 corresponding to the first positioning groove 512 to fix the relative position of the U-shaped chassis 51 and the adjustable struts 52. The second positioning grooves 521 provided on the adjustable struts 52 on both sides should be correspondingly provided to be able to synchronously adjust the height on both sides, so that the extension belt conveyor 2 can remain balanced.

[0067] In use, when the extension belt conveyor 2 is in horizontal conveying or extended to a specified length, the bottom end of the adjustable strut 52 is embedded in the cavity 511 of the U-shaped chassis 51 at this time, and according to the flatness of the roadway and the horizontal requirement of the extension belt conveyor 2, the extension length of the adjustable strut 52 in the cavity 511 can be adjusted to make the locking universal wheel 6 at the bottom end of the U-shaped chassis 51 smoothly adhere to the ground.

[0068] After the height is adjusted in place, the locking bolt 53 on the U-shaped chassis 51 is tightened, so that one end of the locking bolt 53 is embedded in the second positioning groove 521 at the corresponding position of the adjustable strut 52. Through the clamping action of the second positioning groove 521 and the locking bolt 53, the relative sliding of the adjustable strut 52 and the U-shaped chassis 51 is limited, thereby providing stable support for the distal end of the extension belt conveyor 2, avoiding tilting due to material load or roadway vibration.

[0069] When it is needed to drive the extension belt conveyor 2 to overturn, the locking bolt 53 is loosened first, the adjustable support 52 is retracted into the cavity 511, and then the locking bolt 53 is locked, so that the belt locking universal wheel 6 at the bottom end of the U-shaped chassis 51 is separated from the ground, avoiding interference with the ground or tunnel obstacles during overturning. After the extension belt conveyor 2 is overturned to the target angle around the fixed shaft 31, according to the height requirement of the distal end of the extension belt conveyor 2 after overturning, the locking bolt 53 is loosened to move downward to adjust the U-shaped chassis 51, so that the belt locking universal wheel 6 at the bottom end of the U-shaped chassis 51 is attached to the ground, and then the locking bolt 53 is tightened and embedded in the second positioning groove 521. The auxiliary support 5 can provide auxiliary support for the overturned extension belt conveyor 2, improve the structural stability of the extension belt conveyor 2 in the inclined conveying state, and prevent the extension belt conveyor 2 from being deviated due to the gravity of the material.

[0070] Another possible embodiment can be achieved by setting a hydraulic support between the auxiliary support 5 and the rack of the extension belt conveyor 2 to realize the liftable support of the auxiliary support 5 to the extension belt conveyor 2. The height of the auxiliary support 5 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the hydraulic support, which can realize more accurate adjustment. Those skilled in the art can select the liftable mode of the auxiliary support 5 according to actual needs.

[0071] When the hydraulic support is used for support, if the space for unloading is limited and interference may occur, the hydraulic support can be retracted to the direction close to the auxiliary support 5, so that the belt locking universal wheel 6 is separated from the bottom surface. After the extension belt conveyor 2 is overturned, the hydraulic support is elongated to make the belt locking universal wheel 6 adhere to the ground to form stable support. If the space for unloading is large and stable support can be provided, the hydraulic support can be retracted to the direction close to the auxiliary support 5, so that the belt locking universal wheel 6 is separated from the bottom surface. After the extension belt conveyor 2 is overturned, the hydraulic support is elongated to make the belt locking universal wheel 6 adhere to the ground to form stable support. If the space for unloading is large and stable support can be provided, the hydraulic support can be retracted to the direction close to the auxiliary support 5, so that the belt locking universal wheel 6 is separated from the bottom surface. After the extension belt conveyor 2 is overturned, the hydraulic support is elongated to make the belt locking universal wheel 6 adhere to the ground to form stable support.
