Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smelting equipment, and particularly relates to an anti-arching device for a sintering machine trolley. Background Technique

[0002] The sintering trolley is the main equipment for the production of sintered ore by a belt-type sintering machine. The sintering main machine mainly consists of upper and lower guide rails, front and rear star wheels, curved rails, a transmission mechanism, and trolleys arranged on the upper and lower guide rails. The rotation of the trolley at the tail star wheel is guided by the star wheel teeth and the driving force is transmitted. When the trolley turns past the center of the tail star wheel and is just approaching the horizontal state on the lower guide rail (i.e., the return lane), the tooth plate of the tail star wheel pushes the trolley to continue moving forward. The front working surface of the tooth plate contacts the rear wheel axle sleeve of the trolley and provides a thrust. This thrust causes the trolleys to squeeze each other to generate a horizontal component force to push the trolley forward, and at the same time generates an upward frictional component force. When the torque generated by this frictional component force is greater than the self-weight of the trolley, the rear part of the trolley will be lifted by the tooth plate, and the front end surface of the subsequent trolley contacts and squeezes the rear end surface of the previous trolley so that it cannot fall. In this way, the phenomenon of shoulder arching occurs repeatedly. The arching height is generally 20 - 50 mm. When the squeezing torque of the arching trolley becomes smaller than the self-weight of the trolley during the operation towards the head, the arching trolley will instantaneously fall (i.e., hit the rail) to generate a huge impact, causing damage to the trolley bearing or cracks or fractures in the vehicle body, resulting in equipment accidents, and also causing uneven wear on the end surface, increasing the air leakage rate, reducing the production efficiency, and at the same time causing burning and deformation of the side plate.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a device for preventing arching of a sintering machine trolley is provided. As Figure 1 shown, the sintering machine has a tail star wheel 2, a lower guide rail 1, and a trolley 3. After passing through the tail star wheel 2, the trolley 3 can move on the lower guide rail 1. The anti-arching device includes a guide block 4 and a rigid rail 8. Among them, the lower guide rail 1 includes a front section 9 and a rear section 10. Both ends of the rigid rail 8 are respectively connected to the front section 9 and the rear section 10. The guide block 4 is disposed on the rigid rail 8. As Figure 3 shown, the guide block 4 includes an uphill section 5, a horizontal section 6, and a downhill section 7. The uphill section 5, the horizontal section 6, and the downhill section 7 are sequentially connected along the moving direction of the trolley 3. The anti-arching device has a simple structure, is easy to install, has a low manufacturing cost, is convenient for operation and adjustment, can well solve the situation of uneven tooth plate thrust of the tail star wheel 2, resulting in arching of the shoulders of the trolley 3, etc., effectively ensures the stability of the operation of the trolley 3, greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment, greatly extends the service life of trolley bearings, wheels, rails, etc., and can be maintained conveniently and reliably.

[0025] Furthermore, the uphill section 5, the horizontal section 6, and the downhill section 7 are of an integral structure. The horizontal section 6 is of a cuboid structure with a length of 500 mm. The tops of the uphill section 5 and the downhill section 7 are both in the same plane as the upper surface of the horizontal section 6. The vertical distance between the upper surface of the horizontal section 6 and the upper surface of the rigid track 8 is 50 mm. The widths of the uphill section 5 and the downhill section 7 are both the same as the width of the horizontal section 6. The upper surface of the uphill section 5 is an inclined plane. The length of the upper surface of the downhill section 7 is less than the distance between the two wheels of the trolley 3. Preferably, the length of the uphill section 5 is 1000 mm. The upper surface of the downhill section 7 is an inclined plane, and the length of the upper surface of the downhill section 7 is greater than the distance between the two wheels of the trolley 3. Preferably, the length of the downhill section 7 is 1500 mm. The distance between the connection point of the tail star wheel 2 and the lower guide rail 1 and the uphill section 5 is 800 mm. As Figure 2 shown, when two adjacent trolleys 3 pass through the guide block 4 successively, the rear wheel of the trolley 3 in the front drops, and the front wheel of the trolley 3 in the back rises, changing the surface contact between the trolleys 3 to line contact. By precisely fine-tuning the contact angle of the two trolleys 3, the guide block 4 enables the trolley 3 to automatically return to its position under the action of gravity, achieving precise adjustment at the 50-mm level without human intervention, preventing the trolley 3 from arching, effectively ensuring the stability of the trolley 3 during operation, and avoiding production fluctuations caused by the fluctuations and rail impacts of the trolley 3. This anti-arching device increases the distance between the trolleys 3, reduces the friction between the trolleys 3, thus playing an anti-arching role, greatly extending the service life of the bearings, wheels, tracks, etc. of the trolley 3, and reducing the equipment maintenance cost.

[0026] Furthermore, the sintering machine has a guide rail base, and the lower guide rail is installed on the guide rail base. The guide block 4 and the rigid track 8 are of an integral structure. A number of fixing pieces are provided at the bottom of the rigid track 8, and the fixing pieces are connected to the guide rail base by bolts. This setting can make the anti-arching device more stable and not easily damaged, with a long service life.

[0027] Furthermore, connection pieces are provided at both ends of the rigid track 8, and the connection pieces are connected to the front section 9 or the rear section 10 by bolts. This setting can facilitate the replacement of the anti-arching device, with a low maintenance workload and high reliability during daily operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the materials of the guide block 4 and the rigid track 8 are both 45# steel. The surface quenching method of 45# steel greatly improves the impact stability of the anti-arching device, and the wear service life exceeds 24 months. When wear occurs, the anti-arching device can also be repaired by on-line surfacing.

[0029] Furthermore, transition rounded corners are provided at the joints between the uphill section 5 and the horizontal section 6 and between the horizontal section 6 and the downhill section 7, and the radius of the transition rounded corners is greater than or equal to 3 mm. This setting can ensure the smooth operation of the trolley 3.
