Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mining equipment and relates to an automatic control device for a belt conveyor flap. Background Art

[0002] The belt conveyor flap device is the core equipment in the mineral processing production system. It is interlocked with the single-line belt to stop. The flap device is responsible for dividing the materials for the fifth fine belt and the first feeding belt. The original control method is: the post operation hoist electric hoist pulls and rotates the flap to the specified position, and transmits the in-position signal to the electrical circuit through the contact mechanical limit for electrical control.

[0003] The belt flap is operated about 3-6 times per shift, and each operation requires more than two people. This operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult for personnel to operate. Once a failure occurs, it is easy to cause a great impact on production; in addition, because the mechanical limit is in a dusty and humid area all year round, the limit lever is prone to corrosion and deformation, and the mechanical connecting rod fixing is prone to loosening, resulting in the loss of the induction signal, the shutdown of the precision belt No. 4, and affecting the feeding of the matching feeding belt; and two proximity devices are set on one side to collect two signals, and the frequent signal asynchrony affects the failure of the flap to work properly and the shutdown of the precision belt No. 4. In addition, the north side proximity device is installed in the belt system protection net. After a failure occurs, it cannot be quickly adjusted or replaced, which often makes the fault handling difficult and the impact time long. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an automatic control device for a belt conveyor flap in view of the problems existing in the prior art, which solves the problems that the operation of the existing belt conveyor flap device is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and failures are frequent during equipment operation.

[0005] To this end, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A belt conveyor flap automatic control device comprises a funnel, wherein an electric flap is provided inside the funnel, and a first outlet and a second outlet are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom, a flap connecting shaft is provided at the bottom of the electric flap, and the two are transmission-connected, a crank arm is provided on the side of the flap connecting shaft, and the two are connected through a transmission shaft, one end of the crank arm is connected to an electric hydraulic device, and the other end is connected to a metal sensor, a first bracket and a second bracket arranged in parallel are respectively installed on the sides of the metal sensor, the first bracket is provided with a first inductive proximity switch, and the second bracket is provided with a second inductive proximity switch.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a plc controller, which is electrically connected to the electric hydraulic device, the first inductive proximity switch and the second inductive proximity switch respectively.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] The utility model can perform the flip operation according to production needs. The electric flip plate will move immediately after receiving the start signal and reach the specified position within the set time. On the one hand, it improves the automation level of the equipment and the operational stability, and on the other hand, it improves the labor productivity of employees and the output of iron ore concentrate, while eliminating the safety risks of electrical personnel in fault handling and post cleaning and maintenance operations on the narrow side of the belt, thereby greatly shortening the fault handling time.
