Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sintering equipment, in particular to a ring cooler track joint fixing structure. Background Art

[0002] The ring cooler is a special equipment for unloading sintered hot ore from the sintering machine. In actual use, the ring cooler repeats the loading and unloading actions along the circular track. During the whole process, the ring cooler moves unidirectionally along the track. Due to the unidirectional movement and the high temperature of the sintered material, the unidirectional force of the track and the effect of thermal expansion and contraction make it easy for the track to move forward continuously, resulting in track displacement and mutual squeezing between the track joints. In severe cases, docking cracks may even appear at the joints, or even deformation and collapse, seriously affecting the service life of the track. Utility Model Content

[0017] The following elaborates on the preferred embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making the protection scope of the present utility model more clearly defined.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the embodiment of the present utility model includes: a fixing structure for the ring cooler track joint. The ring cooler track is an annular track formed by splicing multiple track units 1 end to end. The annular track is installed on a corresponding annular track seat 2. The track unit 1 is made of rail steel with an I-shaped cross-section. The track seat is made of Q345 steel plate. The rail steel includes a rail surface 101, a bottom surface 103, and a central axis 102. The cross-sectional width of the bottom surface 103 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the rail surface 101. The splicing surface between adjacent track units 1 is a Z-shaped splicing surface. The middle of the Z-shaped splicing surface is a bevel splicing, and the two sides are flat splices. The projection of the bevel splicing area on the cross-section coincides with the projection of the central axis of the track unit 1 on the cross-section. Each track unit 1 is also provided with 5 through holes penetrating the central axis. A counterbore 104 is provided at the top of the through hole. The annular track seat 2 is provided with bottom holes corresponding to the through holes. A positioning bolt 3 is inserted into the through hole. The top of the positioning bolt 3 is located in the counterbore 104, and the bottom of the positioning bolt 3 is inserted into the bottom hole to fix the track unit 1 on the track seat.

[0019] The included angle between the middle of the Z-shaped splicing surface and the cross-section is 30° - 60°, and it is generally 45° during actual production. The reason for using the above included angle is that if the included angle is too small, the impact force is relatively large during deformation and displacement, and it is easy to damage the splicing surface. If the included angle is too large, the overlapping area is too long, and the strength of the overlapping area is relatively small. And since the sintered material has a large load, the track is prone to damage.

[0020] The inner side of the annular track base 2 is provided with an inner clamping block 201, and the outer side is provided with an outer clamping block 202. The inner clamping block 201 and the outer clamping block 202 have the same length, generally about 20 cm. The bottom surface of the track unit 1 is provided with an inner positioning groove and an outer positioning groove that match the inner clamping block and the outer clamping block. The total groove length of the inner positioning groove and the outer positioning groove is generally 20.5 cm. The inner positioning groove is formed by splicing a front-end inner clamping opening 107 and a rear-end inner clamping opening 108. The front-end inner clamping opening 107 and the rear-end inner clamping opening 108 have the same length. The front-end inner clamping opening 107 is arranged on the inner side of the front end of the bottom surface 103 of the track unit 1, and the rear-end inner clamping opening 108 is arranged on the inner side of the rear end of the bottom surface 103 of the track unit 1. The outer positioning groove is formed by splicing a front-end outer clamping opening and a rear-end outer clamping opening. The front-end outer clamping opening and the rear-end outer clamping opening have the same length. The front-end outer clamping opening is arranged on the outer side of the front end of the bottom surface 103 of the track unit 1, and the rear-end outer clamping opening is arranged on the outer side of the rear end of the bottom surface of the track unit. In this way, through the cooperation of the inner clamping block 201 and the outer clamping block 202, the head and tail positions of the middle track unit 1 can be further fixed, preventing the overall displacement and shifting of the track unit 1.

[0021] The groove depth of the inner positioning groove and the outer positioning groove does not exceed half of the cross-sectional width of the bottom surface 103 exceeding the width of the central axis cross-section, generally with a depth of 5 - 10 cm. If the depth is too small, the positioning effect is not obvious and it is easy to come out. If the depth is too large and extends to the position of the central axis 102, it is easy to affect the rail surface strength at the joint position, resulting in a reduction in the rail surface life.

[0022] The splicing seam width between the front splicing surface 105 at the front end of the rear track unit 1 and the rear splicing surface 106 at the rear end of the previous track unit 1 in the adjacent track units 1 is 1 - 3 mm. The splicing seam width is significantly reduced compared with the traditional joint. The reason for adopting the above width is that the Z-shaped splicing surface changes the main docking position from plane splicing to inclined plane splicing. In this way, relative sliding can occur during force deformation, reducing the direct collision and extrusion force, reducing the risk of damage to the track unit, and moreover, due to the smaller splicing seam, the strength of the rail surface 101 in the splicing area is significantly improved, significantly reducing the probability of compression damage in this area and further improving the overall service life.

[0023] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. All equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
