Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coal mine silt removal equipment, in particular to a silt removal robot. Background Art

[0002] During coal mining, silt forms in underground water tanks and tunnels. To prevent silt accumulation from impacting normal mining operations, the bottom silt needs to be cleaned promptly. Previously, manual cleaning, assisted by excavators and forklifts, was often used for silt removal, which was labor-intensive and inefficient. Various municipal silt removal equipment on the market suffers from large size, weak silt removal capacity, impracticality in coal mine tunnel environments, and inability to effectively crush and desilt slag.

[0003] The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN110952611B discloses a stirring and suction dredging robot suitable for multiple working conditions, including a crawler walking mechanism, on which a lifting mechanism, a dredging actuator, a counterweight module, and a sealed box are installed. The lifting mechanism includes a boom seat, a boom lifting cylinder, a first-level boom, a boom telescopic cylinder, and a second-level boom. The dredging actuator includes a connecting block, a mounting plate, a collecting plate, a hydraulic motor, a stirring head, and a sand pump. The connecting block is hinged to the lower side of the front end of the second-level boom, and a flip cylinder is hinged to the upper part of the connecting block. The other end of the flip cylinder is hinged to the upper side of the front end of the second-level boom. A mounting plate and a collecting plate are fixed on the connecting block, and a hydraulic motor is fixed on the mounting plate. The output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the stirring head. The collecting plate is arranged on one side of the stirring head, and a mud outlet hole is opened in the middle of the collecting plate. A sand pump is fixed on the side of the collecting plate away from the stirring head. This multi-working-condition stirring and suction dredging robot can be applied to a wider range of working conditions with different water depths, such as underground pipelines, mine pits, and pumping stations. However, the stirring head of the device does not have the function of returning mud, the sand pump has low suction efficiency, and the lifting device has high requirements for sealing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to be able to stir and desilt the sludge generated in the underground water tank tunnel in time, improve the desilting efficiency and reduce the requirements for sealing, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a desilting robot, including a crawler walking mechanism, a mounting frame, a screw conveying mechanism and a stirring and returning mechanism;

[0005] The crawler walking mechanism is used to drive the spiral conveying mechanism and the stirring return mechanism to move forward;

[0006] The mounting frame is connected to the front end of the crawler walking mechanism and is used to support the screw conveying mechanism and the stirring return mechanism;

[0007] The stirring and reversing mechanism is vertically mounted at the front end of the mounting frame and is used to stir and pre-crush the sludge in the tunnel;

[0008] The spiral conveying mechanism is vertically installed at the rear end of the mounting frame, and the top of the spiral conveying mechanism extends out of the mounting frame. The spiral conveying mechanism is used to convey the mud processed by the stirring and returning mechanism outward.

[0009] Based on the above, in order to be able to adjust the height from the ground and the operating range of the stirring and reversing mechanism, the mounting frame and the crawler walking mechanism can be connected in a lifting manner.

[0010] Based on the above, in order to clean up the mud in front of the crawler traveling mechanism when it is moving, the width of the mounting frame is greater than or equal to the width of the crawler traveling mechanism.

[0011] Based on the above, in order to improve the stirring efficiency and be able to promptly call the mud back to the vicinity of the spiral conveying mechanism, the stirring return mechanism includes a stirring drive motor installed on the mounting frame and multiple groups of stirring shafts connected to the stirring drive motor, and multiple stirring return plates are vertically installed on the stirring shafts. The stirring return plates are provided with multiple stirring teeth, and the stirring teeth are distributed along the vertical outer edge of the stirring return plate. The stirring teeth on the two adjacent groups of stirring shafts are staggered.

[0012] Based on the above, in order to improve the stirring effect, the numbers of stirring return plates on two adjacent stirring shafts are different.

[0013] Based on the above, in order to improve the discharge efficiency of the mud, the screw conveying mechanism includes a screw conveying pump, and a screw conveying drive motor is installed on the top of the screw conveying pump.

[0014] Based on the above, at least two groups of the screw conveying pumps are provided on the mounting frame, and the screw conveying pumps are symmetrically distributed on the rear side of the stirring and returning mechanism.

[0015] Based on the above, in order to prevent the stirred mud from flowing freely, a baffle is provided on the rear side of the bottom of the mounting frame, and the baffle is used to confine the mud stirred by the stirring and returning mechanism around the screw conveying mechanism.

[0016] Based on the above, in order to facilitate real-time positioning and real-time monitoring, cameras and sensors are installed around the crawler walking mechanism and the mounting frame respectively.

[0017] The present invention has substantial features and advancements over existing technologies. Specifically, the dredging robot provided by the present invention has a stirring and reversing mechanism directly mounted on the front end of the crawler walking mechanism, and the driving mechanism for driving the stirring and reversing mechanism is mounted on the upper portion. The bottom portion is designed as a cantilever structure for stirring, thereby eliminating the need for sealing parts in the sludge, improving product reliability and reducing sealing requirements. At the same time, the stirring and reversing mechanism is designed to comprise a plurality of stirring and reversing plates and stirring teeth that can engage and move relative to each other. Thus, while stirring the sludge, the stirring and reversing plates can be used to reversally reciprocate the sludge toward the side of the spiral conveying mechanism, and the stirring teeth can be used to tear and dig out accumulated sludge, thereby improving dredging efficiency and capacity.

[0018] Furthermore, by arranging a spiral conveying mechanism behind the stirring and returning mechanism, the spiral conveying mechanism can be used to promptly convey the stirred and pre-crushed mud to the subsequent solid-liquid separation equipment. The spiral conveying mechanism has a strong conveying capacity compared to an ordinary sewage pump, and the spiral conveying mechanism will not interfere with the stirring and returning mechanism.

[0019] Furthermore, the dredging robot is remotely operated, and a large number of cameras and sensors are arranged around the crawler walking mechanism and the mounting frame. It can automatically perform dredging work in narrow and harsh tunnels without the need for personnel to enter the working surface, thereby improving operational safety.
