Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal storage equipment, and particularly relates to a coal bunker anti-blocking device. Background Art

[0002] The coal bunker in a coal mine is a node in the coal mining system, and the coal bunker has the following important functions: 1) To solve the phenomenon of unbalanced transportation volumes in different transportation links during the coal production process, that is, to achieve transportation volume buffering through storage; 2) To be used for the adjustment during the switching of different transportation modes, such as the matching between intermittent transportation (mine car transportation) and continuous transportation (belt transportation); 3) To solve the transfer between high and low height differences. Thus, it can be seen that the coal bunker is an important part of the coal mining system, playing the roles of storage, buffering, adjustment, and continuous and stable operation, and is an important guarantee for realizing normal production transportation and safe and uninterrupted production.

[0003] According to the actual situation on site, coal blocks, gangue, as well as pit props, wires, rubber sheets, sundries, etc. during the production process fall into the coal bunker during transportation; underground water-containing coal, water leakage seeps in, and the coal mud caking enters the coal bunker; in addition, during the use of the coal bunker, due to dealing with accidents or the caking of pressed coal after a long-term interruption of transportation, it accumulates in the coal bunker. Summarizing the above actual situations, the main reasons for the formation of a blocked bunker in the coal bunker are as follows:

[0004] 1. The coal mud and coal water stick to the inner wall of the coal bunker, reducing the cross-section of the coal bunker;

[0005] 2. Spraying water during production operations causes water to flow into the coal bunker, and the muddy water cakes;

[0006] 3. The fall of foreign objects causes obstacles to the coal flow transportation with coal and coal blocks;

[0007] 4. The damage of the fence at the upper bunker opening of the coal bunker causes large coal rocks to fall into the coal bunker and block it;

[0008] 5. The reduction of the cross-section of the conical part at the lower bunker opening of the coal bunker causes extrusion and adhesion blockage;

[0009] 6. A natural arch shed of coal block fluid is formed in the coal bunker body, and it does not fall and blocks;

[0010] That is, arch shed (a stable structure formed during the coal stacking process, generally appearing in coal bunkers with a long storage time), wall sticking (coal and coal slime water adhere to the bunker wall and do not fall off, and the adhesion increases, resulting in a reduced coal flow space and poor flow), bunker blockage (commonly called rat holes, that is, only a very small space like a rat hole remains for coal flow, and the coal flow is very difficult), foreign object blockage (formed when pit props, wires, large stone materials or coal blocks (more than 30 cm) fall into the bunker during its use, hindering the normal downward flow of coal in the bunker). After encountering the above bunker blockage situations, the bunker function fails and cannot play its due role. Therefore, it is usually necessary to detonate or manually remove the blockage. The blasting risk is relatively high, so manual blockage removal is more common. However, when a large-area blockage is released instantaneously, it is like a "mudslide", and if the operator cannot dodge in time, they may be buried by the coal body, posing a hidden danger to the personal safety of the operator. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and solve the technical problem of coal bunker blockage caused by many factors. The present invention provides a coal bunker anti-blocking device.

[0014] At least two sets of vibration motor groups are arranged on the outer wall of the conical barrel coal bunker along the height direction of the conical barrel coal bunker.

[0026] An air-powered slide 3 is arranged across the opening position at the top of the straight barrel coal bunker 1. A base 6 is installed on the air-powered slide 3. The motor 5 is vertically and downwardly fixedly installed on the base 6. The rotating shaft of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the universal flexible shaft 7. The lower end of the universal flexible shaft 7 is hinged to the upper end of the primary stirring rod 8. The lower end of the primary stirring rod 8 is hinged to the upper end of the secondary stirring rod 11. Spiral stirring blades 9 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the primary stirring rod 8 and the secondary stirring rod 11. Cutting teeth 10 are arranged at the outer edge position of the spiral stirring blades 9. A slide bar 4 is horizontally arranged at the connection position between the straight barrel coal bunker 1 and the conical barrel coal bunker 2 inside the coal bunker. The slide bar 4 is parallel to the air-powered slide 3. A slide ring 12 is sleeved on the slide bar 4. An ear seat is arranged on the side wall of the slide ring 12. The lower end of the secondary stirring rod 11 is hinged to the ear seat.

[0027] At least two circles of vibration motor groups are arranged along the height direction of the outer wall of the conical barrel coal bunker 2. Each group of vibration motor groups contains several vibration motors 14 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

A vibrating head 15 is arranged at the end of the vibration rod. The cross-section of the vibration cover plate 13 is set as an L shape. The vibration cover plate 13 is buckled and covered above the vibrating head 15. The upper end edge of the vibration cover plate 13 is hinged to the inner wall of the conical barrel coal bunker 2. The free end of the vibration cover plate 13 corresponding to the upper vibration motor group overlaps on the vibration cover plate 13 corresponding to the lower vibration motor group.

[0028] Further, an inverter is arranged on the base 6, and the inverter is electrically connected to the motor 5.

[0029] Further, the lower end of the universal flexible shaft 7 and the upper end of the primary stirring rod 8, the lower end of the primary stirring rod 8 and the upper end of the secondary stirring rod 11, and the lower end of the secondary stirring rod 11 and the ear seat are all hinged through universal couplings.
