Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel boring machine technology, and in particular to a dust removal fan duct relocation structure. Background Technology
[0002] A tunneling machine, short for a fully mechanized tunneling machine, is a type of integrated mechanized equipment that combines multiple functions such as tunneling, rock loading, coal transportation, and even support and track laying. Generally, after using fully mechanized tunneling, the tunneling progress can be increased by more than 30 times compared to the drilling and blasting tunneling process.
[0003] In the past, the wet dust collectors installed on roadheaders were initially positioned on the right side of the machine head (the upper right side of the roadheader body) by the manufacturer. Moreover, the standard ventilation ducts were also installed on the same side on site. This resulted in the air intake of the fan and the air outlet of the ventilation duct being in the same area, which easily caused insufficient air volume at the machine head and a portion of the fresh air flow to be directly sucked into the fan for filtration and wasted. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, the ventilation duct of the tunnel boring machine is also installed on the same side, which causes the air inlet of the fan and the air outlet of the ventilation duct to be in the same range, which easily leads to insufficient head-on air volume and waste of some fresh air flow by directly sucking it into the fan for filtration. Therefore, a dust removal fan duct relocation structure is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A dust removal fan duct rerouting structure includes a roadheader body, a fan is provided on one side of the top of the roadheader body, the air inlet of the fan is fixedly connected to a duct, the air inlet of the duct and the air outlet of the fan are respectively located on the top sides of the roadheader body, and the duct is fixedly installed on the top of the roadheader body by an installation component.
[0007] An arc-shaped plate slides through the inside of the air duct. One end of the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to a limiting inner ring, which is located inside the air duct. The other end of the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to a limiting outer ring, which is located outside the air duct. Multiple filter plates are arranged inside the arc-shaped plate. A limiting component for limiting the arc-shaped plate is arranged inside the air duct.
[0008] One side of the air duct is provided with a fixing component for fixing the limiting outer ring.
[0009] In one possible design, the mounting assembly includes two mounting plates disposed on the top of the roadheader body. The mounting plates have circular holes inside that cooperate with the ventilation duct. Both sides of the mounting plates are integrally formed with ear plates, and the ear plates are provided with fixing screws. The roadheader body and the mounting plates are fixedly connected by fixing screws.
[0010] In one possible design, the limiting component includes multiple placement slots formed inside the arc-shaped plate, which cooperate with the filter plate. The top and bottom inner walls of the arc-shaped plate are provided with strip grooves. The top and bottom of the limiting inner ring are provided with a first groove. The top and bottom of the filter plate are provided with a second groove. The top and bottom inner walls of the air duct are fixedly connected with fixing strips, which cooperate with the strip grooves, the first groove, and the second groove.
[0011] In one possible design, the limiting component also includes the same retaining ring fixedly connected to one end of the two retaining bars.
[0012] In one possible design, the fixing assembly includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to one side of the duct, with a rod slidingly passing through the interior of the L-shaped plate. One end of the rod is fixedly connected to a pull plate, and a first tension spring is fixedly connected between one side of the pull plate and one side of the L-shaped plate. The first tension spring is sleeved on the rod. A first slot is provided on one side of the arc-shaped plate, and a second slot is provided on one side of the limiting outer ring. Both the second slot and the first slot engage with the rod. An operating plate is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting outer ring.
[0013] In one possible design, the interior of the air duct has two symmetrically arranged transverse grooves, and one side of the limiting outer ring is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged positioning rods. The positioning rods are slidably connected inside the transverse grooves, and one end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the same second tension spring between it and one side of the inner wall of the transverse groove.
[0014] In this application, when in use, the fan is turned on, and the fan draws in air through the limiting outer ring. After being filtered by multiple filter plates, the air is discharged through one side of the fan. At this time, the positions of the air inlet and outlet can be changed, thereby avoiding the re-drawing in of fresh air for filtration and improving the filtration efficiency of the device.
[0015] After filtering for a period of time, you can consider disassembling and cleaning multiple filter plates. At this time, first pull the pull plate horizontally. The pull plate drives the insert rod to move horizontally and stretches the first tension spring. At this time, the insert rod moves out from the inside of the second slot. Pull out the limiting outer ring horizontally. Then, lock the insert rod inside the first slot to prevent the arc plate from springing back.
[0016] Thanks to the positioning rod and fixing bar, the arc-shaped plate can be prevented from detaching. The second tension spring facilitates quick rebound of the device. At this point, multiple filter plates are exposed on one side of the arc-shaped plate, allowing them to be removed laterally for cleaning. After cleaning, the second groove on the top of the filter plate is aligned with the strip groove and placed on the same horizontal line as the first groove. After releasing the brake on the arc-shaped plate, the limiting outer ring and the arc-shaped plate quickly retract under the tension of the second tension spring, allowing for reuse.
[0017] Beneficial effects:
[0018] High-efficiency filtration system: The device draws in air by activating a fan, which guides the air through a limiting outer ring and then filters it through multiple filter plates. This design effectively removes impurities from the air, providing clean air output.
[0019] The fan design allows for adjustment of the inlet and outlet positions, thus preventing filtered air from being re-inhaled for unnecessary secondary filtration and significantly improving filtration efficiency.
[0020] Easy-to-maintain design: The device features a removable filter plate system, making it easy for users to clean and maintain. The filter plates can be easily removed, cleaned, and reinstalled without a complicated disassembly process.
[0021] The system utilizes a mechanical structure including a pull plate, insert rod, and a first tension spring to enable rapid switching between fixing and releasing the filter plates. Users can easily disassemble the filter plates by simply pulling the pull plate. The arc-shaped plate design, combined with a positioning rod, fixing strip, and second tension spring, ensures the stability of the filter plates during disassembly and facilitates quick repositioning after cleaning.
