Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of equipment chain drop detection, and in particular relates to an equipment chain drop detection device. Background Art

[0002] Chain drop signal detection is one of the important tests to check whether the chain bucket and scraper are operating normally. In the prior art, proximity switches or time-delay proximity switches are mostly used to detect chain drop of equipment. This is mainly done by fixing a claw-shaped iron sheet on the rotating shaft at the non-driving end of the scraper or chain bucket, and detecting the rotation of the claw-shaped connecting sheet through a proximity switch or time-delay proximity switch to determine the rotation of the driven shaft, and then determine whether the equipment has chain dropped.

[0003] Since the detection requires the cooperation of an external power supply circuit, the reliability of the external circuit equipment also restricts the reliability of the detection. In addition, the detection process is relatively complicated, and the number of points prone to failure increases accordingly. At the same time, since it is separated from the device to be detected, and the device to be detected needs to extend an additional auxiliary detected end (or device), such as a claw-type rotating iron sheet, it is often affected by the environment and rusts or loses magnetism, resulting in erroneous signals. When the operating conditions of the device to be detected change, such as the change in speed caused by frequency conversion control, the detected signal range will also exceed the detection range of the detection device, so that the detection device cannot work normally or send out an erroneous signal. In addition, since the proximity switch or delayed proximity switch itself is an electronic product, its operation is easily affected by external interference and has a limited lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a device for detecting chain drop of equipment with compact structure, convenient operation, high detection accuracy and low cost, which solves the problems that the previous chain drop detection requires external power supply and circuit support, has a high detection failure rate, is susceptible to external interference, and has a short service life. To achieve the above purpose, the utility model can adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A device for detecting chain drop of equipment comprises: a planetary gear set, a micro generator motor, a relay circuit board and a relay; the planetary gear set is connected to the driven shaft of the equipment through a first input shaft, the micro generator motor is connected to the planetary gear set through a second input shaft, the relay circuit board is respectively connected to the micro generator motor and the relay, and the relay is connected to a control system; the power generated by the rotation of the equipment is transmitted to the micro generator motor through the planetary gear set, the micro generator motor converts the mechanical energy transmitted by the planetary gear set into electrical energy, and the relay circuit board provides power to the relay after rectifying, stabilizing and filtering the electrical energy emitted by the micro generator motor, so that the relay is actuated and thus fed back to the control system.

[0006] As a further improvement of the utility model, the planetary gear set, the micro generator motor, the relay circuit board and the relay are integrated in a housing made of metal or plastic.

[0007] As a further improvement of the utility model, the relay adopts a switch circuit composed of a coil relay or a solid-state relay or an electronic component.

[0017] Example

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the device for detecting chain drop of the equipment of the utility model comprises: a planetary gear set 2, a micro generator motor 4, a relay circuit board 5 and a relay (not shown in the figure). The planetary gear set 2 is connected to the driven shaft of the equipment through the first input shaft 1, the micro generator motor 4 is connected to the planetary gear set 2 through the second input shaft 3, the relay circuit board 5 is respectively connected to the micro generator motor 4 and the relay, and the relay is connected to the control system; the power generated by the rotation of the equipment is transmitted to the micro generator motor 4 through the planetary gear set 2, and the micro generator motor 4 converts the mechanical energy transmitted by the planetary gear set 2 into electrical energy. The relay circuit board 5 provides power to the relay after the electrical energy emitted by the micro generator motor 4 is rectified, stabilized and filtered, so that the relay is activated, and then fed back to the control system. The control system determines whether the equipment is chain dropped according to the action signal fed back by the relay. In other embodiments, gears of other structural forms can also be used for transmission.

[0019] In this embodiment, the gear stage number of the planetary gear set 2 can be selected according to the rotation speed of the on-site rotating equipment, that is, the transmission ratio N is selectable. The speed s of the micro generator motor 4 is N times the speed S of the first input shaft 1, that is, s=SN, where N is the transmission ratio.

[0020] In this embodiment, the first input shaft 1 is connected to the driven shaft of the device by a coupling. In other embodiments, the first input shaft 1 can also be connected to the driven shaft of the device by a belt or thread. The connection form is diverse and not restricted. It can be selected according to the site conditions as long as the kinetic energy can be transmitted stably.

[0021] In this embodiment, the relay uses a switch circuit composed of electronic components such as a coil relay or a solid-state relay or various switch tubes, as long as the action signal can be accurately transmitted to the control system.

[0022] In this embodiment, the planetary gear set 2, the micro generator motor 4, the relay circuit board 5 and the relay are integrated in a housing made of metal or plastic to improve environmental adaptability. If necessary, it can also be made to have a certain explosion-proof, corrosion-proof, waterproof and dust-proof level to be used in places requiring special protection levels.

[0023] In this embodiment, the control system adopts a PLC control system or a DCS control system. The PLC control system or the DCS control system receives the switch signal of the relay to determine whether the driven shaft rotates, thereby determining whether the device is disconnected. When the device is disconnected, its driven shaft no longer rotates, and the micro-generator 4 cannot output electricity to provide power for the relay of the relay circuit board 5. At this time, the output contact of the relay stops outputting the switch signal, and the control system will consider that the device is disconnected.

[0024] In this embodiment, by connecting the planetary gear set 2 to the driven shaft of the equipment, connecting the micro generator motor 4 to the planetary gear set 2, and connecting the relay circuit board 5 to the micro generator motor 4 and the relay respectively, and then connecting the relay to the control system, a purely mechanical equipment chain drop detection device is formed. The planetary gear set 2 is synchronously connected to the equipment, and the micro generator motor 4 converts the mechanical energy transmitted by the planetary gear set 2 into electrical energy. The relay circuit board 5 provides power for the relay after rectifying, stabilizing and filtering the electrical energy emitted by the micro generator motor 4, so that the relay is activated and fed back to the control system. The output signal of the equipment chain drop detection device is a passive dry contact, which does not require external power support and is not affected by electromagnetic interference. The fully enclosed structure has strong environmental adaptability and can adapt to various complex environments. It solves the problems of previous chain drop detection requiring external power supply and circuit support, high detection failure rate, susceptibility to external interference and short device service life.

Any technician familiar with the art can use the above disclosed methods and technical contents to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the utility model without departing from the spirit and technical solution of the utility model, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes.
