Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a transportation device and method for a material conveyor belt system. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial installation projects, the installation of conveyor belts with large angles and lengths is very common. For example, the conveyor belt for a 3200m³ blast furnace typically has an inclination angle of 12°-15°, a length of 300-500m, and a head elevation of over 60m.

[0003] For example, the main charging conveyor belt of a 3200m³ blast furnace has a huge charging capacity, and the conveyor belt drive power is usually very high, with large and numerous large-sized equipment components. Within such a large range of inclination, length, and elevation differences, transporting all the conveyor belt components to their positions traditionally involves manual handling starting from the floor of the corridor, or using large cranes to hoist the conveyor belt components into the corridor from several charging points along its entire length, and then manually distributing and positioning them. These methods are very costly in terms of manpower or machinery. To solve this problem, a new transportation and charging method needs to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, when continuing operation, the winch is started, and the traveling trolley continues to move upward. The coupler lifts the unhooking part, and the hook plate rotates around the C-shaped ring as the axis, lifting until the coupler is fully in place and then falls back down by its own weight. Then the winch is started in the opposite direction, the traveling trolley moves downward, the coupler rises along the inclined surface of the unhooking part, and at the same time the coupler rotates around the central axis of the fixed sleeve as the axis, completing the unlocking of the traveling trolley.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. It can replace cranes for the installation and transportation of belt conveyors within a large angle and length range; 2. To prevent the winch from slipping due to loose brakes, a travel locking mechanism is installed on the belt conveyor frame at the corresponding travel limit position of the traveling trolley. This mechanism automatically locks the winch by the linear movement of the traveling trolley and unlocks it by further movement, eliminating the need for manual operation. 3. The four upright panels of the traveling trolley can be opened and locked flexibly. The locking mechanism of the box panel adopts a set of screws and nuts split into two parts, which can realize convenient opening and locking and improve the stability of locking. 4. This device is easy to obtain materials for and easy to manufacture. At the same time, it significantly reduces the cost of crane shifts, improves the installation efficiency of large belt conveyor equipment, significantly shortens the operation time, and reduces the technical difficulty of construction.

[0029] The following combination Figures 1-12 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0030] This invention discloses a material conveyor belt component transport device and transport method, which is used in conjunction with the belt conveyor frame 1. The transport device can be used to transport equipment components such as upper and lower idlers, cleaners, backstops, guide troughs and covers.

[0031] The transport device includes a traveling trolley 2 that uses the belt conveyor frame 1 as a track for transporting equipment components, a winch 3 and two fixed pulleys 4 installed on the top of the belt conveyor frame 1, a steel wire rope 5 that works with the winch 3 to pull the traveling trolley 2, and a traveling locking mechanism 6 for temporarily positioning the traveling trolley 2; the steel wire rope 5 passes around the two fixed pulleys 4 in sequence and is connected to the traveling trolley 2.

[0032] The traveling trolley 2 includes a rectangular base plate 21, with upright plates 22 hinged around the base plate 21. The base plate 21 and the upright plates 22 are made of steel plates. A wheel frame 23 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base plate 21. Wheels 25 are mounted on the wheel frame 23 via wheel axles 24. The wheels 25 are stepped to fit the belt conveyor frame 1, so that they can be locked inside the belt conveyor frame 1.

[0033] Two adjacent upright plates 22 are connected by a box plate locking mechanism 26. The box plate locking mechanism 26 includes a screw half 1 261, a screw half 262, and a nut 263. The screw half 1 261 and the screw half 262 are made by splitting a single screw. A groove 2611 is machined into half of the tail of the screw half 1 261. The groove 2611 is used to accommodate the screw half 262. The screw half 1 261 is fixed to the surface of one upright plate 22, and the screw half 262 is fixed to the surface of the other upright plate 22.

[0034] After the two adjacent upright plates 22 are fastened together, the screw half 262 and the screw half 261 are assembled into a complete screw. The two are locked and fixed by screwing on the nut 263, thereby connecting the two adjacent upright plates 22. When the traveling trolley 2 needs to be opened, the nut 263 is removed, the screw half 261 and the screw half 262 are separated, and the upright plate 22 of the traveling trolley 2 is opened to facilitate the loading and unloading of the belt conveyor components.

[0035] The walking locking mechanism 6 includes an extension seat 61 fixed to the bottom surface of the base plate 21. A fixed sleeve 62 made of bent steel plate is fixed to the extension seat 61. A hook 63 is rotatably inserted inside the fixed sleeve 62. The hook 63 is made of round steel bent into a U-shape. The ends of the two arms of the hook 63 are bent inward. A fixed seat 64 is fixed to the belt conveyor frame 1 at the upper limit position of the traveling trolley 2. A C-shaped ring 65 is fixed to the fixed seat 64. A hook plate 66 is rotatably sleeved on the C-shaped ring 65. The main body of the hook plate 66 is rectangular.

[0036] The hook plate 66 has a downwardly curved hook portion 661 at its end, and downwardly curved unhooking portions 662 are provided on both sides of the middle of the bottom surface of the hook plate 66. The unhooking portions 662 extend away from the traveling trolley 2, and the plate surface of the hook plate 66 forms a clearance opening 663 at the position corresponding to the unhooking portions 662.

[0037] A method for transporting components of a conveyor belt in a feeding corridor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: S1. After the main body of the belt conveyor frame 1 is installed, it is used as the running track of the traveling trolley 2. The traveling trolley 2 and the traveling locking mechanism 6 are made, and the winch 3, fixed pulley 4, and wire rope 5 are assembled. The wire rope 5 is then connected to the traveling trolley 2. S2. Start the winch 3 and transport the equipment parts by the traveling trolley 2. The traveling trolley 2 is driven by the winch 3 to go up and by its own weight to go down. S3. When the operation is interrupted, the traveling trolley 2 is pulled to the fixed seat 64. The hook 63 lifts the hook part 661 of the hook plate 66. The hook plate 66 rotates around the C-shaped ring 65 as the axis. The hook part 661 is raised until the hook 63 is fully in place and then falls back by its own weight. At the same time, the winch 3 operates in the opposite direction and uses the weight of the traveling trolley 2 to make the hook 63 completely close to the hook part 661, so as to prevent the trolley from slipping due to the loose brake of the winch 3, and complete the locking of the traveling trolley 2. S4. When continuing the operation, start the winch 3 and pull the traveling trolley 2 to continue moving upward. The hook 63 lifts the unhooking part 662, and the hook plate 66 rotates around the C-shaped ring 65 as the axis, lifting until the hook 63 is fully in place and then falls back down by its own weight. Then start the winch 3 in the opposite direction, the traveling trolley 2 moves downward, the hook 63 rises along the inclined surface of the unhooking part 662, and at the same time the hook 63 rotates around the central axis of the fixed sleeve 62 as the axis, completing the unlocking of the traveling trolley 2.

[0038] The conveyor device and method for transporting components of the conveyor belt in the feeding corridor according to the present invention have the following advantages: 1. It can replace cranes for the installation and transportation of belt conveyors within a large angle and length range; 2. In order to prevent the winch 3 from slipping due to loose brake, a travel locking mechanism 6 is set on the belt conveyor frame 1 at the travel limit position of the traveling trolley 2. The mechanism can automatically lock by the linear movement of the traveling trolley 2 and unlock by further movement, without the need for manual operation. 3. The four upright plates 22 of the traveling trolley 2 can be opened and locked flexibly. The box plate locking mechanism 26 is divided into two parts by a set of screws and nuts 263, which can realize convenient opening and locking and improve the stability of locking. 4. This device is easy to obtain materials for and easy to manufacture. At the same time, it greatly reduces the cost of crane shifts, improves the installation efficiency of large belt conveyor equipment, significantly shortens the operation time, and reduces the technical difficulty of construction.
