Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal mine equipment, and in particular relates to a hard connection device for a narrow-gauge vehicle used in a mine. Background Art

[0002] The connection devices used between the mine cars in existing coal mines generally adopt a rigid connection. This rigid connection method makes two or more interconnected mine cars, especially when encountering uphill or turning sections, collide and rub with the contact parts of the mine cars because the rigid connection devices cannot rotate flexibly. It is also easy to cause the rigid connection devices to bend or break. In severe cases, it will cause the center of gravity of the mine car to be unstable and roll over.

[0003] Therefore, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220720757U provides a hard connection device that overcomes the problem that the hard connection device of the mine car has poor flexibility and is prone to bending or breaking when the mine car passes through a slope or a turning section. However, when the hard connection device is installed using a connecting assembly, the matching installation process of the ball swivel and the connecting rod requires that the spherical surface at the end of the connecting rod and the ball swivel together form a spherical rotating structure, thereby reducing the wear of the connecting rod and the connecting head and improving the service life. However, in the above-mentioned device, the matching process of the ball swivel and the connecting rod can only be observed by the naked eye to observe the degree of matching, so the matching accuracy is limited; if measuring equipment is used for measurement and installation, the assembly time is greatly increased, seriously affecting work efficiency.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] The solution provided by the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In this technical solution, if Figure 1-4 As shown, the hard connection device of a narrow-gauge mining vehicle includes a connection head 1, a connection rod 2 and a connection assembly 3.

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, two connectors 1 are symmetrically provided and have completely the same structure. Each connector 1 includes a connecting portion 101 and a working portion 102 that are integrally provided.

[0028] Among them, the connecting part 101 and the working part 102 are transitionally connected through a group of symmetrically arranged transition slopes 103, and a connecting hole 104 is opened on the connecting part 101; a mounting hole 105 is opened on the working part 102 for connecting the connecting head 1 with the mining car body. In addition, the width of the working part 102 is greater than the diameter of the connecting part 101, which improves the strength of the working part 102.

[0029] Based on the above embodiment, on each connector 1, the transition bevel 103 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the working part 102, and the angle between the transition bevel 103 and the working part 102 is 135°; in addition, an oil filling hole 106 is provided on the transition bevel 103, the oil filling hole 106 is connected to the connecting hole 104, and the oil filling hole 106 is threadedly connected to an oil filling cover.

[0030] At this point, the two connectors 1 under the above structure have beautiful appearance; the oil filling hole 106 is a countersunk hole, and the oil filling cover is completely hidden in the oil filling hole 106 to prevent the oil filling cover from being damaged by bumps during daily work, thereby preventing the lubricating oil from leaking.

[0031] In the present utility model, it is more important that Figure 1-4 As shown, a connecting rod 2 is provided between two symmetrically arranged connecting heads 1, and the connecting rod 2 includes a first threaded portion 202 provided at both ends of the connecting rod 2, and a smooth portion 203 between the two first threaded portions 202, the thread outer diameter of each first threaded portion 202 is smaller than the diameter of the smooth portion 203, and an annular limiting groove 204 is provided at the connection position between each first threaded portion 202 and the smooth portion 203 along the radial direction of the connecting rod 2, and the inner diameter of the limiting groove 204 is not larger than the thread outer diameter of the first threaded portion 202. In addition, both ends of the connecting rod 2 are threadedly connected with a connecting component 3, and the overall assembly of the hard connection device is realized through the cooperation between the connecting component 3 and the connecting hole 104. On this basis, both ends of the connecting rod 2 are spherical surfaces 205.

[0032] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the connection assembly 3 includes two ball swivels 301 and an annular limiting sleeve 302 threadedly connected to a portion of the inner surface of the connection hole 104 .

[0033] The ball swivel 301 has a second threaded portion inside that matches the first threaded portion 202 , and the length of the second threaded portion is equal to the sum of the length of the first threaded portion 202 and the width of the limiting groove 204 .

[0034] Based on the above embodiment, when the end of the ball joint 301 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 204, the spherical surface 205 at the end of the connecting rod 2 and the ball joint 301 together form a spherical rotating structure, and the setting of the limiting groove 204 allows the staff to quickly complete the matching connection between the ball joint 301 and the connecting rod 2, thereby increasing the service life of the hard connection device while ensuring work efficiency.

[0035] On this basis, the annular limiting sleeve 302 is provided with an arc surface 305 and a conical surface 306 , wherein the arc surface 305 is in direct contact with a portion of the outer surface of the ball swivel 301 , and the remaining outer surface of the ball swivel 301 is in contact with the connecting hole 104 .

[0036] like Figure 2-4 As shown, on the annular limiting sleeve 302 , the included angle between the generatrix of the conical surface 306 and the center line of the connecting rod 2 is 6°, thereby forming a limiting cavity inside the annular limiting sleeve 302 to accommodate the movement of the connecting rod 2 .

[0037] At this point, the connecting rod 2 has the ability to rotate along a certain deflection angle. At this deflection angle, the hard connection device provided by the utility model can be well applied to curved road sections and slope road sections to prevent the hard connection device from colliding with the mine car.

[0038] In addition, in the present application, the material of all components of the hard connection device is 42CrMo. The hardness and other mechanical properties of 42CrMo are superior to those of 45 steel. Most importantly, during the working process of the ball swivel 301 that bears tension and the connecting rod 2 that bears tension and shear force, the use of 42CrMo material can extend their service life.

[0039] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, an annular oil filling groove 201 is provided at the edge of the spherical surface 205 , and the oil filling groove 201 corresponds to the position of the oil filling hole 106 . In this embodiment, the oil filling groove 201 is used to store lubricating oil.

[0040] A plurality of rotating holes 303 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the side end surface 307 of the limiting sleeve 302. In the present embodiment, after the connecting rod 2 is screwed into the interior of the ball swivel 301, the cooperation between the rotating hole 303 and the wrench is used to screw the limiting sleeve 302 into the interior of the connecting part 101 and cooperate with the connecting hole 104. On this basis, a welding point groove 304 is provided at the outer edge of the side end surface 307, which is used to weld the limiting sleeve 302 and the connecting head 1 into one in the welding point groove 304 after the hard connection device is assembled, so as to prevent the ball swivel 301 from detaching from the connecting head 1.

[0041] Specifically, when the hard connection device for narrow-gauge mining vehicles provided by the utility model is used to connect the mining vehicles, the two limiting sleeves 302 are first symmetrically sleeved on the connecting rod 2, and then the ball joints 301 are respectively threaded at both ends of the connecting rod 2. In this process, the staff does not need to use measuring tools to achieve strict matching between the connecting rod 2 and the ball joint 301. That is, when the staff twists the ball joint 301 until its end abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 204, the spherical surface 205 at the end of the connecting rod 2 and the ball joint 301 together form a spherical rotating structure. At this time, it is achieved as follows Figure 4In the situation shown, the limiting sleeve 302 is then screwed into the interior of the connecting part 101 and matched with the connecting hole 104 through the cooperation of the wrench and the rotating hole 303, and then the limiting sleeve 302 and the connecting head 1 are welded as a whole in the welding point groove 304 of the limiting sleeve 302, and lubricating oil is injected into the interior of the connecting part 101 through the oil filling hole 106 and the oil filling cover is tightened. At this time, the hard connection device is assembled, and then the rotating shaft is passed through the connecting part and the mounting hole 105 of the mine car body to complete the overall installation of the coal mine car and the hard connection device. The device has a simple structure and a reasonable design, and can effectively increase the working efficiency and work safety rate of the coal mine car.
