Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal storage and transmission technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for unloading coal from a coal silo. Background Technology

[0002] Coking coal is stored in coal silos. In the conical section of the silo, the coking coal tends to solidify, causing obstructed coal feeding. This can lead to situations where feeding is impossible or there is a sudden large amount of material falling, affecting the accuracy of coal blending and causing fluctuations in coke quality. Furthermore, it jeopardizes work efficiency.

[0003] Existing technologies use knocking and vibration to make the material in the coal silo fall. However, when there is a lot of material, the coking coal is squeezed and piled up under the action of gravity and friction, forming a compacted structure. At this time, the vibration will only aggravate the blockage and cannot achieve the purpose of clearing and discharging the material from the coal silo. In addition, uneven material discharge, or when the storage parts need to be replaced at the end of the material collection, the coal on the conveyor belt will fall to the ground, which will bring unnecessary labor intensity to the workers.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an auxiliary device for unloading coal from coal silos to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the loosening mechanism includes an upper fixing ring and a lower fixing housing. The upper fixing ring is fixed in the transition area between the conical hopper and the straight cylinder of the coal silo body. The lower fixing housing is fixed to the bottom end of the straight cylinder of the coal silo body by a support rod. The upper fixing ring and the lower fixing housing are coaxially distributed, and the diameter of the upper fixing ring is larger than the diameter of the lower fixing housing, so that multiple winches are arranged in an inclined ring array around the axis of the lower fixing housing.

[0010] The winch row has smooth rods at both ends, and the smooth rods at both ends are rotatably connected to the upper fixed ring and the lower fixed housing, respectively. The lower fixed housing has a closed chamber inside, and the drive unit is installed in the closed chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the telescopic part is one of an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder, and its output end and fixed end are respectively hinged to the material conveying pipe and the vertical plate, and the telescopic parts on both sides are centrally symmetrical about the center point of the material conveying pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a positioning pile and a fixed seat are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding conveyor pipe, a clamping roller and a first mounting shaft are fixedly connected to the inner side of the vertical plate, a second mounting shaft is fixedly connected to the fixed seat, a clamping groove matching the clamping roller is opened on the positioning pile, and the two ends of the telescopic part are respectively movably set on the first mounting shaft and the second mounting shaft through a collar.

[0016] Preferably, the orthographic projection shape of the slot on the horizontal plane is set to ellipse, and a gap is reserved between the slot along the axial direction of the feeding conveying pipe and the coal silo body under the installation position.

The material is then conveyed without clogging the coal silo outlet. The material is replenished in time through the collection hopper, realizing automated feeding and controllable directional conveying of coal in the coal silo, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0021] 2. By adding a coal feeding mechanism and adjusting the length of the telescopic output end, the material feeding pipe is kept horizontal when the belt conveyors on both sides are working synchronously. Utilizing the characteristic that its inner wall is high in the middle and low at both ends, the falling material is evenly distributed to both ends and transported to the two sets of belt conveyors for transportation.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the loosening mechanism in this utility model, it includes an upper fixing ring 6 and a lower fixing housing 7. The upper fixing ring 6 is fixed in the transition area between the conical bucket part and the straight cylinder part of the coal silo body 1.
