[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein should be understood as the usual meaning by those skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs.
[0025] The technical principle of the utility model is mainly based on the special geometric shape of the wedge-shaped body closure, the supporting action of the high-strength skeleton, the reinforcing effect of the steel plate and the sealing characteristics of the rubber ring. These elements jointly constitute a high-efficiency and stable temporary closure device for the underground mine bin hopper.
[0026] 1. Special geometric shape of wedge-shaped body closure
[0027] The upper part of the wedge-shaped body closure 3 is designed as a four-sided conical body. This design not only provides a convenient central suspension point for the hoisting of the device, but more importantly, its unique geometric shape can effectively prevent the accumulation of falling materials at this point. The inclined surface of the cone can guide the materials to slide to the four sides, thereby avoiding the direct impact of the materials on the closure device, enhancing the safety of the device.
[0028] The lower part of the wedge-shaped body closure 3 is designed as a four-sided isosceles trapezoidal body. This design is based on the actual shape of the lower neck of the underground chute. The upper and lower bases of the isosceles trapezoid are parallel, and the two sides are equal in length. Such a design ensures that the device can smoothly and stably enter and fit the lower neck of the chute, achieving good sealing effect.
[0029] 2. Supporting principle of high-strength skeleton
[0030] The skeleton 2 part of the device uses high-strength channel steel material. This material has excellent supporting capacity and anti-deformation performance. The design of the skeleton 2 fully considers the complexity of the underground environment and the various external forces that the closure device needs to withstand. Through reasonable structure layout and material selection, it is ensured that the skeleton 2 can stably support and fix the wedge-shaped body closure 3, preventing it from deforming or displacing during underground operation.
[0031] 3. Reinforcing effect of steel plate
[0032] In order to further enhance the strength and stability of the device, the surfaces of the framework 2 and the wedge-shaped closure 3 are covered with a layer of steel plate 5. This layer of steel plate 5 not only effectively resists the erosion and wear of the device in complex underground environments, but also improves the carrying capacity of the device, ensuring its stable performance during long-term operation.
[0033] 4. Sealing principle of rubber ring
[0034] A circle of wear-resistant and high-elasticity rubber ring 4 is provided on the periphery of the wedge-shaped closure 3. This rubber ring 4 plays a crucial role in the installation process of the device. When the device is hoisted to the mine hopper mouth 6 and slowly lowered, the rubber ring 4 will gradually unfold and tightly fit the mine hopper mouth 6 due to the obstruction of the mine hopper mouth 6. Due to the excellent elasticity and wear resistance of the rubber ring 4, it can effectively fill the small gap between the wedge-shaped closure 3 and the mine hopper mouth 6, thereby achieving good sealing effect. This sealing method not only effectively prevents the leakage of materials from the mine hopper mouth, but also isolates the external environment from the underground operation, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the operation.
[0035] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is a kind of temporary sealing device of underground mine hopper, including lifting lug, framework, wedge-shaped closure, steel plate and rubber ring, the wedge-shaped closure is fixed in the internal space formed by welding the framework, the lifting lug is fixed at the top end of the wedge-shaped closure, the surface of the wedge-shaped closure and the framework is covered with the steel plate, the rubber ring is fixed on the periphery of the wedge-shaped closure by adhesive, when the device is installed to the mine hopper mouth by hoisting equipment, the rubber ring is used to fill the gap between the wedge-shaped closure and the mine hopper mouth to realize sealing.
[0036] Further, the upper part of the wedge-shaped closure is a four-sided pyramid.
[0037] Further, the lower part of the wedge-shaped closure is a four-sided isosceles trapezoidal body.
[0038] Further, the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the wedge-shaped closure is smaller than the size of the mine hopper mouth.
[0039] Further, the rubber ring is made of rubber material.
[0040] Further, the framework is made of high-hardness channel steel, and has the same shape as the wedge-shaped closure, for supporting and fixing the wedge-shaped closure.
[0041] Further, the steel plate is made of high-hardness and corrosion-resistant steel material, for enhancing the stability and corrosion resistance of the device.
[0042] Further, a hoist winch and a steel wire rope are also included, the steel wire rope hoists and installs the whole device through the hoist winch and the lifting lug.
[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] The utility model provides a kind of temporary closure device of underground mine bunker hopper, its core purpose is to effectively solve the problems of stability lack, poor sealing effect, low bearing capacity and easy to deformation caused by traditional iron plate sealing mode.
[0045] The wedge-shaped body closure 3 is the core part of the device, the design of the upper four-face tapered body not only provides a convenient central suspension point for the hoisting of the device, but more importantly, it can effectively prevent the accumulation of collapsed materials at this point, thereby greatly reducing the impact force on the closure device and enhancing the safety of the device. The design of the lower four-face isosceles trapezoidal body is based on the actual shape of the lower necked portion of the underground chute to ensure that the device can smoothly and stably enter and fit the necked portion, achieving good sealing effect.
[0046] The skeleton 2 of the device is made of high-strength channel steel and has the same shape as the wedge-shaped body closure 3. The skeleton 2 not only has excellent support capacity, but also effectively fixes the wedge-shaped body closure 3, ensuring the stability of the entire device in the harsh underground environment. In addition, the surfaces of the skeleton 2 and the wedge-shaped body closure 3 are covered with a layer of high-strength and corrosion-resistant steel plate 5. This layer of steel plate 5 not only further enhances the strength and stability of the device, but also effectively resists the erosion and wear of the device in the complex underground environment.
[0047] The periphery of the wedge-shaped body closure 3 is also fixed with a layer of rubber ring 4 by adhesive. This layer of rubber ring 4 plays a crucial role in the installation process of the device. It can tightly fit the bunker funnel mouth 6 by the elasticity of the rubber material according to the different sizes of the bunker funnel mouth 6, effectively filling the small gap between the wedge-shaped body closure 3 and the bunker funnel mouth 6, and ensuring the sealing between the device and the bunker funnel mouth 6.
[0048] In actual operation, the operator hoists into position by hoist winch 8, suspends and fixes by steel wire rope 9 passing through the lifting lug 1 at the top end of the wedge-shaped body closure 3, and then hoists the entire device to the bottom bunker funnel mouth 6 from the bunker mouth for sealing and installation. Since the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the wedge-shaped body closure 3 is designed to be smaller than the size of the bunker funnel mouth 6, after the device is installed in place, the rubber ring 4 will expand due to the obstruction of the bunker funnel mouth 6, and its outer diameter will be larger than the outer diameter of the bunker funnel mouth 6, tightly fitting the bunker funnel mouth 6 and forming a complete and sealed space, effectively preventing material leakage from the underground bunker hopper and external environmental interference.
[0049] Although the utility model has disclosed as above with preferable embodiments, it is not used to limit the utility model. Those skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs can make various changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model is accurate according to the definition of the claims.
