[0031] Embodiment:
[0032] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a roller type material conveyor, which includes: a steel base frame 2, the steel base frame 2 extends along the first direction, and support seats are provided at the four corners of the bottom end of the steel base frame 2. The support seats are used to install legs, or are used to cooperate with a connecting piece 15 to realize the series connection of multiple roller type material conveyors; By setting the support seats, various operation modes of this material conveyor can be realized: when the conveying distance is short, a single machine operation mode is adopted, and the support seat can be used to install a temporary support, which can adapt to the needs of various different height operation conditions. When the conveying distance is long, an online operation mode is adopted, and the support seat can be used as a hook point for connecting the front and rear conveyors. The support seats of adjacent two material conveyors are connected through the connecting piece 15 to connect multiple material conveyors in series to realize material conveying.
[0033] Multiple steel rollers 1, multiple steel rollers 1 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and along the second direction (the second direction in this embodiment is the width direction of the steel base frame), both ends of each steel roller 1 are rotatably installed on the steel base frame 2. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first ends of multiple steel rollers 1 are sequentially connected through a transmission assembly, so that each steel roller can rotate in the same direction and synchronously. Among them, the steel roller 1 is a steel hollow roller. Adopting a hollow structure can reduce its own weight. A low-voltage DC motor can easily drive the steel roller to rotate to complete the material conveying work. The transmission assembly includes a chain 5 and sprockets 4 corresponding to the steel rollers 1 one by one. A sprocket 4 is connected to the first end of each steel roller 1, and the chain 5 connects the sprockets 4 in sequence to realize that when any one sprocket 4 rotates, all sprockets 4 can rotate in the same direction and synchronously, thereby driving all steel rollers 1 to rotate in the same direction and synchronously.
[0034] A driving member, including two high-power DC motors 3, the DC motors 3 are installed on the side of the steel base frame 2 away from the chain, and the two DC motors 3 are installed at both ends of the steel base frame 2 along the first direction. The output shafts of the two DC motors 3 are respectively connected to the steel rollers at both ends of the steel base frame 2. The working voltage of the DC motor is 24V or 12V to adapt to various special dangerous factor usage conditions such as humidity. The 24V or 12V direct current output by an external DC frequency converter at the operation site can be used as the power supply to realize the variable speed function. Setting two high-power DC motors 3 is mainly to ensure that the power can meet the power demand. Through experiments, it is known that the DC motor should be placed at the forefront of the conveying direction to obtain the maximum driving force. Because this material conveyor will have a reverse operation scenario, therefore, a driving motor is installed at both ends of the conveyor to obtain the maximum driving force in different conveying directions.
[0035] In this embodiment, two or three emergency stop switches 8 are installed on one side of the DC motor. The emergency stop switches 8 are used to immediately stop the DC motor 3. When any one of the emergency stop switches is in an open and disconnected state, the material conveyor will immediately stop working and enter the safe protection shutdown state. During online operation, the emergency stop switches 8 are in series. If one is disconnected, all online devices will stop.
[0036] The roller-type material conveyor in this embodiment further includes a protective housing 9; the protective housing 9 is arranged on both sides of the steel base frame along the second direction to protect the DC motor, sprockets and chains.
[0037] As Figures 3 - 6 shown, the support base includes a first fixed seat 6 and a second fixed seat 7; both the first fixed seat 6 and the second fixed seat 7 are located at the four corners of the bottom end of the steel base frame 2, and the second fixed seat 7 is located inside the first fixed seat 6; both the first fixed seat 6 and the second fixed seat 7 have mounting holes for installing the legs 14 or connecting hooks (connecting parts). The leg 14 includes a support section 1401 and a strengthening section 1402. The support section 1401 is perpendicular to the ground, the top end of the support section 1401 is connected to the first fixed seat 6, the strengthening section 1402 is inclined, and the first end of the strengthening section 1402 is connected to the middle upper part of the support section 1401, and the second end of the strengthening section 1402 is connected to the second fixed seat 7. When the material conveyor operates alone, the support base can be used as the support point of a simple leg. When conducting online operation, it can be used as the hanging point of the connecting hooks of the front and rear two material conveyors. To adapt to the special working environment inside the blast furnace hearth, multiple material conveyors can be connected in series for online operation, and the slope conveying distance can be adjusted according to the number of connected material conveyors at any time, which can meet the working requirements of blast furnace hearths of all furnace volumes.
[0038] The main disadvantages of the material conveying methods commonly used in domestic blast furnace hearths at present are as follows:
[0039] 1. The belt conveyor may slip, catch fire or produce toxic and harmful gases;
[0040] 2. The monorail hoist needs to be pulled obliquely to meet the on-site working needs, which is very dangerous;
[0041] 3. Friction on the wooden slide will also generate heat and toxic and harmful gases;
[0042] 4. Dust will be generated during the conveying process, damaging the limited space environment inside the hearth and deteriorating the working conditions of workers;
[0043] 5. The commonly used power supply is 220V or 380V voltage, and electric shock accidents are likely to occur in humid environments.
[0044] In the roller-type material conveyor in this embodiment, multiple steel rollers 1 laid flat at equal distances rotate synchronously and in the same direction under the drive of a DC motor 3, a sprocket 4, and a chain 5, causing the carried material to move along the material conveying direction. The spacing between the steel rollers 1 prevents dust from being conveyed, eliminating the factor of dust flying. The entire set of equipment is made of metal components (steel), eliminating combustibles that can burn in large quantities. The transmission component uses a chain to drive the sprocket, also eliminating the factor of slipping. The working voltage of the DC motor is a safe voltage of 24V or 12V, which will not cause electric shock. The utility model has the characteristics of having no flammable and heat-generating components, adjustable transportation speed, being driven by a safe voltage, and having no dust flying. It not only realizes the intrinsic safety of the operating equipment in a limited space but also improves the operating efficiency of material conveying.
[0045] The following provides a detailed introduction to the specific details of a roller-type material machine:
[0046] Remove the sealing bolts on the protective shell 9 of the roller-type material conveyor and open the protective shell. Its internal structure can be seen as Figure 2 shown. The roller-type material conveyor uses two angle steels 10 as the framework. The two parallelly arranged angle steels 10 extend along the first direction and are spaced 0.3m along the second direction. Their vertical sides and flat sides are back to back. The length of the angle steel 10 is 2m, and the specification model is 70×70×5mm. On two adjacent vertical sides back to back of the angle steel 10, ten rotatable steel hollow rollers are evenly distributed at a distance of 0.2m. On one side of the first and last steel rollers 1, a high-power DC motor 3 is connected, and on the other side, a sprocket 4 is installed. On the same side of the middle eight steel rollers 1, sprockets 4 are also installed, and all ten sprockets 4 are strung on a chain 5. Driven by the high-power DC motor 3, the chain 5 moves, and all ten sprockets 4 will move synchronously in the same direction to achieve material conveying.
[0047] The following is a detailed introduction to the specific operation mode of this roller-type material machine:
[0048] Case 1:
[0049] As Figure 4 shown, during the process of starting up a blast furnace, it is necessary to load the furnace hearth with starting-up filling sleepers. The traditional method of loading sleepers is purely manual handling, and it generally takes two days to complete under normal circumstances. Using the single-machine operation mode of this roller-type material conveyor: On one side of the roller-type material conveyor, legs 14 are installed on the first fixed seat 6 and the second fixed seat 7 in the conventional method, and the side facing the furnace hearth 12 is directly placed on the middle sleeve 11. Using the roller-type material conveyor, it only takes 3 - 4 hours to complete all the work of loading the sleepers. Using the 24V or 12V direct current output by an external DC frequency converter in the working place as the power supply and increasing the output frequency can further improve the loading speed.
[0050] Case 2:
[0051] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 inside the blast furnace hearth, taking the blast furnace iron notch frame 13 as the conveying port, using the slope ladder 16 built with a slideway or scaffolding specially for operators to enter and exit as the platform, several roller-type material conveyors are connected in series front and back. The first fixed seat 6 at the bottom of the roller-type material conveyor is used as the connecting component of two roller-type material conveyors at this time and is used to install hooks. Several roller-type material conveyors are connected into a whole through the hooks. Using the 24V or 12V direct current output by the DC frequency converter outside the operation site as the power supply to supply power to the conveyors in parallel, the online synchronous speed of several online roller-type material conveyors can be adjusted. Moreover, forward and reverse conversions can be carried out according to the needs of the operation content. Forward conveys materials into the hearth, and reverse conveys materials outside the hearth. If it is felt that the conveying speed is too fast, the frequency can be reduced to achieve ultra-low speed conveying. When online, all the emergency stop switches of the online units are in series. When any one of the emergency stop switches is open, all the online material conveyors stop working and are in the safety protection shutdown state.
[0052] The roller-type material conveying device can also be combined in other ways according to the needs of different on-site operation environments and operation contents to give play to its operation advantages. Since there is a 0.2-meter spacing between the steel rollers 1, the powder cannot be conveyed, thus protecting the operation environment in the limited space. All components of the whole machine are made of metal materials, without combustibles and factors generating toxic and harmful gases. Using a safe voltage enables the equipment to adapt to a particularly humid working environment.
[0053] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
