Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mining machinery technology, specifically to an explosion-proof robot joint rotation transmission device for coal mines and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Robotic joint rotation transmission devices are core actuators of intelligent coal mining equipment, directly determining the motion accuracy and operational reliability of coal mining robots in underground operations. They are a crucial guarantee for achieving the "unmanned and intelligent" transformation of coal mining. Currently, coal mining robots are widely used in tunneling, inspection, and other scenarios, but their joint devices have long faced a dual bottleneck: the explosive environment of underground gas and coal dust, as well as harsh working conditions such as humidity and strong vibration, impose mandatory requirements on joint explosion-proof protection; while precise operation requires high power density and fast dynamic response characteristics. These two types of requirements inherently conflict.

[0003] The first bottleneck is the contradiction between explosion-proof and performance integration. According to the GB3836 series standards, joints must meet explosion-proof requirements. Although the traditional external heavy explosion-proof shell design can meet the standard, it significantly increases the size and weight of the joint and reduces the robot's flexibility. At the same time, the enclosed shell hinders heat dissipation, leading to motor performance degradation. The stacking of multiple modules and the stringent requirements for explosion-proof gaps also exacerbate the complexity of wiring and assembly deviations, increasing positioning errors.

[0004] The second bottleneck is the poor adaptability of existing technologies to various operating conditions. The application of mature industrial joints to coal mining scenarios has significant drawbacks: rigid drive joints lack explosion-proof design and their insufficient flexibility easily leads to collision sparks; elastic drive modules are complex to control and have slow response times, and elastic components are easily worn by dust; direct-drive joints have low torque density and cannot bear the operating load, and exposed motors do not meet explosion-proof requirements.

[0005] There is a significant technological gap in coal mine-specific joint technology: the explosion-proof design of general-purpose joints combined with simple explosion-proof covers is not certified and poses a safety hazard; new integrated modules are not optimized for gas environments and have high maintenance costs; and magnetic levitation drives are difficult to scale up due to weak load capacity, poor anti-interference capabilities, and high costs.

[0006] Therefore, how to propose a joint rotation transmission device for explosion-proof robots used in coal mines that can take into account both explosion-proof and motion performance, and its usage method, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

During operation, the power of the first drive unit is transmitted to the broken gear through the spur gear.

Deep groove ball bearing 1 (5.5) is fitted into the mounting hole of the four-link base (5.1) to support the rotating shaft (4). Elastic retaining ring 1 (5.6), elastic retaining ring 2 (5.8), and elastic retaining ring 3 (5.11) are used to axially fix deep groove ball bearing 1 (5.5), broken tooth connector (5.7), and spur gear (5.9), respectively.

4. The explosion-proof robot joint rotation transmission device for coal mines as described in claim 3, characterized in that, The explosion-proof cover (4.5) of the rotating shaft has multiple explosion-proof cover holes (4.6) on its edge. The explosion-proof cover (4.5) of the rotating shaft is sealed and fastened to the rotating shaft (4) at the explosion-proof cover holes (4.6) of the rotating shaft by internal hexagon screws (4.4). The explosion-proof cover (4.5) of the rotating shaft has two explosion-proof cover holes (4.7) in the middle, which are used to extend the first step shaft (3.5) and the second step shaft (3.8) of the motor.

5. The explosion-proof robot joint rotation transmission device for coal mines as described in claim 3, characterized in that, The broken gear (5.12) and the broken connector (5.7) are connected by the engagement of the broken connector hole one (5.13), the broken connector hole two (5.14), the broken connector hole three (5.15) and the screw.

6. The method of using the explosion-proof robot joint rotation transmission device for coal mines as described in any one of claims 3-5, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: The explosion-proof housing (2) is installed around the first drive unit (6) and the rotating shaft (4). A copper sleeve (2.1) is installed between the rotating shaft (4) and the inner wall of the explosion-proof housing (2). A rotating shaft explosion-proof cover (4.5) is installed at the port where the rotating shaft (4) passes through the explosion-proof housing (2). The explosion-proof housing cover (1) is fastened to the end of the explosion-proof housing (2) with high-strength screws. S2: Start the first drive unit (6), and its output power is transmitted to the broken gear (5.12) through the spur gear (5.9). The broken gear (5.12) drives the four-bar linkage (5) to rotate through the broken gear connector (5.7). S3: Start the second drive unit (4.1) and the third drive unit (4.3), and their power is transmitted to the first straight bevel gear set (3.6) and the second straight bevel gear set (3.9) via the first motor stepped shaft (3.5) and the second motor stepped shaft (3.8). S4: The four-bar linkage (5) drives the driven rod to move through the connecting rod (5.2). The driven rod transmits the motion to the rotating shaft (4). At the same time, the first straight bevel gear set (3.6) and the second straight bevel gear set (3.9) transmit the power to the bevel gear, thereby realizing the rotation angle control of the robot joint and the smooth output of torque.
