DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] This embodiment provides an underground mining equipment step ladder, which mainly includes the following parts:
[0027] 1. Mounting seat 1
[0028] 2. Riser 8
[0029] 3. Tread 12
[0030] 4. Connecting plate 11
[0031] 5. Power mechanism 2
[0032] 6. Control part
[0033] The specific structural features are as follows:
[0034] Mounting base 1: The mounting base serves as the basic support for the entire step ladder, is used to fix other components, and is connected to the power mechanism 2 through the mounting base fixing pin 4.
[0035] The lifting plate 8 and the tread plate 12 are connected to the mounting base 1 through the lifting plate fixing pin 6 and the tread plate fixing pin 7 respectively, forming the basic framework of a single tread unit.
[0036] Connecting plate 11: The lifting plate 8 and tread plate 12 in each step unit are connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 11 through the pin 9 on the connecting plate; except for the first step unit, the lifting plates 8 and tread plates 12 of other units are connected to the lower pin 10 of the connecting plate at the lower end of the connecting plate 11 of the previous unit.
[0037] Power mechanism 2: installed on one side of the mounting base 1, containing a lifting screw 3 inside, the lower end of the lifting screw 3 is connected to the middle of the lifting plate 8 through a lifting pin 5.
[0038] Functional Description
[0039] When the step ladder is needed, the worm gear mechanism is driven by the motor to cause the lifting screw 3 to move axially, thereby driving the step ladder to unfold.
[0040] When not in use, reverse the motor and the step ladder can be folded up to save space.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] The power mechanism 2 specifically consists of a motor 21, a worm gear 14, and a worm 15. The worm gear 14 is fixed to the lifting screw 3, and the worm 15 is connected to the shaft of the motor 21, forming a transmission relationship. When the motor 21 is operating, the worm 15 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting screw 3 to move.
[0043] Control section
[0044] The unfolding and folding of the step ladder is completed by the control part, which includes:
[0045] The motor 21 is connected to the device power supply DC via two parallel circuits, each circuit being provided with a normally open contact 19 .
[0046] A branch circuit is connected in parallel to the main circuit. The branch circuit has two groups of push button switches 17 . Each group of push button switches 17 is connected in series with a contactor 18 and a normally closed contact 20 .
[0047] Operation process
[0048] Expand operation: Press SB1-1 in the push button switch 17, and the current passes through the push button switch 17, contactor 18, and normally closed contact 20 in sequence. After the contactor 18 is energized, the normally open contact 19KA1 is closed and turned on, and the motor 21 rotates forward.
[0049] Stowing operation: Press SB2-1 in the button switch 17, the operation is the same as above, but the motor 21 rotates in the reverse direction.
[0050] Safety measures
[0051] A fuse 16 is provided on the main circuit to prevent damage to the equipment due to excessive current in the event of overload or short circuit.
[0052] Before each operation, check whether all components are normal to ensure safe operation.
[0053] On the basis of the above scheme:
[0054] The lifting screw 3 adopts a T-type thread to increase the thread stress surface and strength.
[0055] The lifting pin 5 can be adjusted in position according to the force requirement, and the farther the distance from the lifting plate fixing pin 6 is, the more proportional the lifting force provided.
[0056] The motor 21 is a DC motor. When the device does not have a matching power supply, a transformer can be used for voltage conversion and a rectifier can be used for rectification to adjust the power supply.
[0057] In order to increase the output torque of the power mechanism 2, the power of the motor 21 can be increased.
[0058] In order to increase the output torque of the power mechanism 2, the number of teeth of the worm gear 14 can be increased to improve the transmission ratio.
[0059] In the control part, the voltage of all electrical appliances is consistent, but not limited to consistency. Low voltage can be used to control high voltage, and low current can be used to control high current.
