Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal mine equipment technology, specifically a coal bunker swinging and unblocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, coal mine safety accidents have occurred frequently. A major reason is the simplistic structure of existing coal bunkers. Over time, the accumulated coal and water inside can clump and block the bunker, preventing coal from draining smoothly even when the bottom outlet is opened. Currently, there are two main methods for dealing with this situation. One method involves manually entering the bunker from the top inlet and using cleaning tools to pry and clear the clumps of coal. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious but also poses a significant threat to the safety of the personnel, as they are highly susceptible to falling into the coal pile and being buried, leading to a major accident. The other method involves placing a small amount of explosives inside the outlet, relying on the explosive force to clear the coal. However, this method has limited effectiveness and often requires personnel to stand below the outlet and use cleaning tools for assistance. The safety of these personnel remains highly precarious, as coal can suddenly and violently erupt and fall on them, causing a major accident. Furthermore, this method can easily damage the bunker structure. Both of the above-mentioned methods for resolving coal seam blockage are major causes of coal bunker safety accidents. Therefore, it is urgent to address the series of safety problems caused by blockages in coal mine bunkers. However, there is currently no relatively effective and mature solution. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the safety issues caused by coal bunker blockage, this invention proposes a coal bunker swinging and unblocking mechanism. This mechanism is installed inside the coal bunker and can unblock the coal when blockage occurs, thereby resolving the safety problems caused by the blockage.

[0004] The technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A coal bunker swinging and unblocking mechanism is installed inside the coal bunker, including a cylindrical column, a sleeve, a rotating drum, a swing chain, and a drive motor. The cylindrical column is vertically installed inside the coal bunker. The sleeve is fitted onto the cylindrical column, and a ball bearing is provided on the outer circumference of the sleeve. The rotating drum is rotatably fitted onto the outer circumference of the sleeve via the ball bearing. The swing chain is installed on the outer circumferential wall of the rotating drum. An internal rack is provided on the inner circumference of the rotating drum. A clearance hole is provided on the circumferential wall of the sleeve corresponding to the position of the internal rack. An opening is also provided on the cylindrical column corresponding to the position of the clearance hole. A horizontal plate is horizontally installed inside the clearance hole. One end of the horizontal plate is fixed to the bottom wall of the clearance hole, and the other end extends horizontally through the opening and into the inner cavity of the cylindrical column. The drive motor is vertically installed at the end of the horizontal plate located inside the cylindrical column, and the drive motor is connected to the internal rack via a gear located on its top.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, a driven gear is provided at the top of the horizontal plate. The driven gear is located between the internal rack and the gear, and is engaged with the internal rack and the gear respectively.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the tail end of the chain is provided with a coal-pulling block.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the inner diameter of the rotating drum is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve. A top cover with a central hole is integrally connected to the top circumference of the rotating drum. The inner diameter of the central hole of the top cover matches the outer diameter of the sleeve. A sealing ring is provided on the bottom circumference of the sleeve to seal and connect with the bottom end of the rotating drum.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a groove is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the top cover, and a retaining ring matching the groove is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve at the position corresponding to the groove. The top of the rotating cylinder is fitted into the retaining ring through the groove.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, an embedded sealing ring is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the sleeve cavity near the top for contact sealing with the cylinder.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a limiting groove is formed at the top of the inner circumferential wall of the sleeve, and a limiting ring is provided on the cylinder at the position corresponding to the limiting groove, and the sleeve is fitted and limited on the limiting ring through the limiting groove.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the inner cavity of the cylinder is provided with a circuit tube for supplying power to the drive motor.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The core structure of this application lies in the sleeve and the rotating drum. The combination of the two, powered by a drive motor and in conjunction with the chain, allows them to rotate and swing at various appropriate speeds within the coal bunker. The chain then moves and guides the coal that has clumped together within the bunker, thereby achieving the effect of preventing coal blockage. This realizes unmanned and mechanized cleaning and clearing of the coal bunker, thus solving the current safety problems caused by coal bunker blockage. Attached Figure Description
