Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mill technology, and in particular to an automatic discharge device for stone and coal from a coal mill in a thermal power plant. Background Technology

[0002] In existing coal mills of thermal power plants, a fully enclosed discharge method is typically used when discharging coking coal. When the coking coal hopper is more than two-thirds full, the pneumatic gate valve for coking coal entering the coking coal hopper is first closed, and the exhaust solenoid valve is opened to depressurize the coking coal hopper. After confirming that the internal pressure has been released, the locking pneumatic valve of the coking coal hopper is opened, the expansion joint is lifted, and the coking coal hopper is pulled out with a forklift. The coking coal in the coking coal hopper is then shoveled into a wheelbarrow for removal. After the coking coal is removed, the coking coal hopper is returned to its original position using a forklift.

[0003] After the coal and stone bunker is pulled out, manual shoveling and transfer of the coal and stone is still required. Using shovels to remove the heavy and sticky coal and stone from the bunker is extremely arduous physical labor, which is not only inefficient but also very strenuous. Summary of the Invention

The first hinge seat is installed at the bottom of the coal hopper where it connects with the flap plate. The bottom end of the cylinder body is hinged to the top of the coal hopper through a second hinge seat.

[0009] In some embodiments, two hydraulic drive units are provided and symmetrically connected to the top of the flap.

[0010] In some embodiments, guide mechanisms are fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the coal hopper. The guide mechanisms have arc-shaped guide holes. Guide columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the flap. The guide columns are inserted into the guide holes and slide in the guide holes. The hydraulic drive device drives the flap to flip along the sliding trajectory of the guide columns in the guide holes.

[0016] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] The automatic discharge device for coal and stone from a coal mill in a thermal power plant, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of the invention proposes an automatic discharge device for stone coal from a coal mill in a thermal power plant, comprising: a coal hopper, a discharge car, and a hydraulic drive device 3. The top of the coal hopper has a discharge port suitable for connecting to the coal mill, and a discharge valve 1 is connected to the discharge port. The interior of the coal hopper has a receiving cavity 10 and a discharge cavity 13. The receiving cavity 10 is located above the discharge cavity 13, and the receiving cavity 10 and the discharge cavity 13 are separated by a discharge plate 11. The discharge plate 11 is closable and connected to the inner wall of the coal hopper. When the discharge plate 11 is opened, the receiving cavity 10 and the discharge cavity 13 are connected. A door 8 is closable and connected to one side of the discharge cavity 13. The discharge car enters and exits the discharge cavity 13 through the door 8 and is used to receive stone coal in the receiving cavity 10. The hydraulic drive device 3 is connected to and controls the opening and closing of the discharge plate 11.

[0019] This invention improves work efficiency and reduces labor intensity by setting up a coal hopper, an unloading car, and a hydraulic drive device 3, and controlling the unloading through the hydraulic drive device 3 to replace manual unloading.

[0020] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the unloading plate 11 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and one side of the unloading plate 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the coal hopper.

[0021] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the front of the coal hopper is connected to a flap 7 that can be opened and closed. The flap 7 is hinged to the unloading plate 11 through a linkage mechanism 12. The hydraulic drive device 3 is connected to and drives the flap 7 to open and close, thereby driving the unloading plate 11 to open and close.

[0022] When coal discharge is required, first open the pressure relief valve of the coal hopper to release the pressure in the coal hopper, then open the door 8, drive the unloading car into the discharge chamber 13, open the hopper of the unloading car and align it with the discharge port, the hydraulic drive device 3 drives the flip plate 7 to flip upward, so that the linkage mechanism 12 pulls the unloading plate 11 to tilt downward, forming the discharge port, and the stones and coal on the unloading plate 11 roll directly down the slope into the hopper of the unloading car, without the need for manual coal discharge.

[0023] Furthermore, the unloading vehicle can be an unmanned vehicle.

[0024] Furthermore, sealing strips are fixedly connected to the four sides of the flap 7. When the flap 7 is in the closed state, the hydraulic drive device 3 provides clamping force, and the flap 7 is sealed to the coal hopper to ensure the sealing of the coal hopper.

[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hydraulic drive device 3 is installed on the top of the coal hopper. The hydraulic drive device 3 is arranged in a horizontal direction. The hydraulic drive device 3 includes a connected cylinder body and a cylinder rod. The top end of the cylinder rod is hinged to the upper end of the flap 7 through the first hinge seat 4. The first hinge seat 4 is installed at the bottom of the coal hopper where it connects with the flap 7. The bottom end of the cylinder body is hinged to the top of the coal hopper through the second hinge seat 2.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hydraulic drive unit 3 has two units symmetrically connected to the top of the flap 7 on both sides. This allows the flap 7 to rotate more smoothly and avoids the problem of unbalanced force.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, guide mechanisms 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the front part of the coal hopper. The guide mechanism 5 has an arc-shaped guide hole 501. Guide columns 9 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the flap 7. The guide columns 9 are inserted into the guide hole 501 and slide in cooperation with the guide hole 501. The hydraulic drive device 3 drives the flap 7 to flip along the sliding trajectory of the guide column 9 in the guide hole 501, which plays a limiting role.

[0028] Furthermore, each guide post 9 is fixedly connected to the front of the coal hopper by a fixing block 6.

[0029] Furthermore, the arc of the guide hole 501 is 90°.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two linkage mechanisms 12, symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the upper end of the unloading plate 11. This makes the unloading plate 11 rotate more smoothly.

[0031] In some embodiments, symmetrical grooves are provided on both sides of the inner side of the flap 7. One end of the linkage mechanism 12 is hinged to a third hinge seat, which slides in conjunction with the groove. The other end of the linkage mechanism 12 is hinged to a fourth hinge seat, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the unloading plate 11. This facilitates the linkage mechanism 12 to pull the unloading plate 11.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, one side of the unloading plate 11 is hinged to the inner wall of the coal hopper, and the other side of the unloading plate 11 has an upwardly inclined surface. A baffle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the coal hopper, and the baffle is located above the unloading plate 11. When the flap 7 and the coal hopper are closed, the inclined surface of the unloading plate 11 abuts against the bottom of the baffle. In the closed state of the flap 7, it can prevent stones and coal from falling below the unloading plate 11.

[0033] In some embodiments, a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the inclined surface of the discharge plate 11, and the length of the rubber strip is equal to the length of the inclined surface. This improves the sealing performance between the discharge plate 11 and the baffle strip, further preventing stones and coal from falling below the discharge plate 11.
