Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of stacker-reclaimers with stops, and more particularly to a track stop device for a stacker-reclaimer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, stacker-reclaimers can basically achieve automated stacking and reclaiming operations within designated areas. However, in production operations, there may be situations where support staff need to perform cleaning work in the middle of the stacker-reclaimer track outside the designated area, or where maintenance work needs to be carried out in the middle of the track. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the stacker-reclaimer to prevent injury to support staff. The temporary anti-collision frames used in related technologies are unreliable in their fixing, difficult to construct, and inconvenient to use.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a track stop device for a stacker-reclaimer to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, this disclosure provides a track stop device for a stacker-reclaimer;

[0006] In view of this, a stacker-reclaimer track stop device is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:

[0007] The main stop body is used to sit on the track;

[0008] The connecting part secures the stop body to the track.

[0009] The stop body is used as a stop surface facing the end face of the stacker-reclaimer, and the stop surface is a concave arc surface.

[0010] In one feasible implementation, the concave arc surface is used so that the height of the side closest to the track is less than or equal to the height of the bottom of the stacker-reclaimer.

[0011] In one feasible implementation, the surface of the concave arc surface is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] In one feasible implementation, a groove is provided at the bottom of the stop body for sitting and slidingly connecting to the track.

[0013] In one feasible implementation, it further includes:

[0014] The roller is set in the groove and faces the end face of the track. The roller is used to slide and connect with the track.

[0015] In one feasible implementation, multiple rollers are provided, and the multiple rollers are arranged at intervals.

[0016] In one feasible implementation, the connecting portion includes:

[0017] The fixing bolts are provided with through holes at corresponding positions on both sides of the slide. The track is provided with elongated holes along its length. The height of the through holes and the height of the elongated holes are the same. The fixing bolts are used to pass through the through holes and the elongated holes.

[0018] Nuts, screwed onto fixing bolts, are used to press against the stop body.

[0019] In one feasible implementation, multiple through holes are provided, and the number and position of the through holes on both sides of the groove correspond to each other.

[0020] In one feasible implementation, the main body of the stop is a steel plate structure, and the wall thickness of the steel plate structure is 9mm to 11mm.

[0021] In one feasible implementation, the orthographic projection of the concave arc surface along the horizontal direction is a quarter circle, and the chord length of the orthographic projection is 485mm to 505mm.

[0022] Compared to existing technologies, this disclosure offers at least the following advantages: The stacker-reclaimer track stop device provided in this embodiment includes a stop body and a connecting part. The stop body can sit on the track and slide along the track to a designated position to stop the stacker-reclaimer. After the stop body moves to the designated position, it can be fixed to the track by the connecting part to ensure a secure fixation effect and improve the stopping ability of the stop body on the stacker-reclaimer. Furthermore, the end face of the stop body facing the stacker-reclaimer is the stop surface, and the stop surface is a concave arc surface, with the concavity direction of the arc surface facing away from the forward direction of the stacker-reclaimer. This design allows the stacker-reclaimer to move onto the concave arc surface when it reaches the stop body, and then move along the arc of this surface. This allows the stacker-reclaimer to climb the slope, consuming its kinetic energy and thus stopping the stacker-reclaimer. The connecting part also secures the stop body, preventing the impact force of the stacker-reclaimer from causing displacement and affecting the stopping effect, thereby improving reliability. Furthermore, the stop body can slide along the track for easy transport. After being transported to the designated location, it can be easily fixed in place by operating the connecting part. Installation is simple, and use is convenient, effectively preventing injury to production support personnel from the impact of the stacker-reclaimer. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding the invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely for describing exemplary embodiments of the invention. However, the invention can be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, a stop device 100 for a stacker-reclaimer track 200 is provided, comprising: a stop body 110 for sitting on the track 200; and a connecting part 120 for fixing the stop body 110 to the track 200; wherein the stop body 110 is used as a stop surface facing the end face of the stacker-reclaimer, and the stop surface is an inwardly concave arc surface 111.

[0030] Currently, in related technologies, the stop component installed in the middle of the track 200 is for temporary use. It is typically installed by inserting anchors into the soft foundation on both sides of the track 200. This causes the stop component to wobble or even shift when it collides with the stacker-reclaimer, making it unreliable in stopping the stacker-reclaimer. Fixing the stop component to the track 200 with bolts presents problems such as difficult drilling, complex installation, and inflexible adjustment of the stop component's position. The stacker-reclaimer track 200 stop device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a stop body 110 and a connecting part 120. The stop body 110 can sit on the track 200 and slide along the track 200 to a designated position to stop the stacker-reclaimer. After the stop body 110 moves to the designated position, it can be fixed to the track 200 via the connecting part 120 to ensure a secure fixation and improve the stopping ability of the stop body 110 against the stacker-reclaimer. Furthermore, the stop body 110 faces the end face of the stacker-reclaimer as the stop surface, and the stop surface is a concave arc surface 111, with the concave direction of the arc surface 111 facing away from the forward direction of the stacker-reclaimer. With this configuration, when the stacker-reclaimer moves to the stop body 110, it will move onto the concave arc surface 111 and move along its arc, allowing the stacker-reclaimer to climb and thus dissipate its kinetic energy, thereby stopping the stacker-reclaimer. The connecting part 120 also serves to fix the stop body 110, preventing the impact force of the stacker-reclaimer from acting on the stop body 110, which could cause displacement and affect the stopping effect, thus improving reliability. Moreover, the stop body 110 can slide along the track 200 for easy transport. After being transported to the designated position, it can be fixed in place simply by operating the connecting part 120, making installation easy and usage convenient. Furthermore, it can effectively prevent injury to production support personnel when arranging cleaning operations at the middle position of the stacker-reclaimer track 200 outside the designated area, and when arranging maintenance projects for the middle position of track 200, thus improving safety.

[0031] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the concave arc surface 111 is used to make the height of the side near the track 200 less than or equal to the height of the bottom of the stacker-reclaimer.

[0032] Understandably, the concave arc surface 111, near the track 200, has a height dimension less than or equal to the bottom height of the stacker-reclaimer. This allows the stacker-reclaimer to smoothly move onto the concave arc surface 111 when it reaches the stop body 110, thus dissipating its kinetic energy. This prevents hard collisions between the stacker-reclaimer and the stop body 110, avoiding damage to both and extending their service life and improving reliability.

[0033] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the concave arc surface 111 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0034] It is understandable that anti-slip textures can be provided on the surface of the concave arc surface 111 to increase the friction between the concave arc surface 111 and the stacker-reclaimer, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the stacker-reclaimer and ensuring the stopping effect on the stacker-reclaimer.

[0035] For example, the anti-slip texture may be stripes arranged along the width direction of the track 200, and multiple stripes are arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the concave arc surface 111.

[0036] For example, the concave arc surface 111 can also be made of a material with high friction, such as a frosted material.

[0037] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a groove 112 is provided at the bottom of the stop body 110, and the groove 112 is used to sit on and slide on the track 200.

[0038] It is understood that the bottom of the stop body 110 can be a hollow structure, thus forming a groove 112. The groove 112 is placed on the track 200 so that the stop body 110 can slide along the track 200 to a designated position for easy transportation. The two side walls of the groove 112 are located on the sides of the track 200 to prevent the stop body 110 from falling off the track 200 and improve stability.

[0039] In some examples, the stop device 100 of the stacker reclaimer track 200 further includes a roller disposed in the chute 112 facing the end face of the track 200, the roller being slidably connected to the track 200.

[0040] It is understandable that the stop device 100 of the stacker-reclaimer track 200 may also be equipped with a roller. Specifically, the roller is located at the bottom of the chute 112, that is, at the end face of the chute 112 facing the track 200, and the roller can be slidably connected relative to the stop body 110. With this configuration, when the stop body 110 is placed on the track 200, the roller will roll into contact with the track 200, thereby easily pushing the stop body 110 along the track 200 through the rotation of the roller, facilitating handling.

[0041] In some examples, multiple rollers are provided, and the multiple rollers are arranged at intervals.

[0042] It is understandable that multiple rollers can be set up, and the multiple rollers are arranged in parallel with adjacent rollers having the same spacing, in order to ensure that the multiple rollers roll evenly and reliably.

[0043] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting part 120 includes: a fixing bolt 121; through holes 1121 are provided at corresponding positions on both sides of the slide groove 112; an elongated hole is provided along the length direction of the track 200; the height of the through hole 1121 is the same as the height of the elongated hole; the fixing bolt 121 is used to pass through the through hole 1121 and the elongated hole; and a nut 122 is screwed onto the fixing bolt 121 and used to press against the stop body 110.

[0044] Understandably, the connecting part 120 may be equipped with a fixing bolt 121 and a nut 122. Specifically, through holes 1121 may be provided at corresponding positions on both sides of the slide 112, and an elongated hole may be provided along the length of the track 200. The elongated hole and the through holes 1121 on both sides are located at the same height, so that the fixing bolt 121 can pass through the elongated hole from one side of the through hole 1121 and through the through hole 1121 on the other side. The nut 122 is screwed onto the fixing bolt 121, so that the nut 122 presses against the side wall of the stop body 110 corresponding to the groove body, thereby fixing the stop body 110 to the track 200, preventing the stop body 110 from continuing to move along the track 200, and resisting the impact force from the stacker-reclaimer, improving reliability. Furthermore, the connecting part 120 has a simple structure and is easy to install and disassemble.

[0045] In some examples, multiple through holes 1121 are provided, and the number and position of through holes 1121 on both sides of the groove 112 correspond.

[0046] It is understood that multiple through holes 1121 can be provided, and the spacing between adjacent through holes 1121 is the same. The number and position of the through holes 1121 on both sides of the slide 112 are corresponding. Two corresponding through holes 1121 on both sides of the track 200 can be used as a group of through holes 1121, so that the fixing bolts 121 can be inserted into different groups of through holes 1121 according to the actual situation on site.

[0047] For example, four through holes 1121 can be provided, and two fixing bolts 121 are provided, with the two fixing bolts 121 respectively inserted into the two through holes 1121 groups that are furthest apart.

[0048] In some examples, the stop body 110 is a steel plate structure with a wall thickness of 9 mm to 11 mm.

[0049] Understandably, the stop body 110 can be constructed of steel plate to ensure high structural strength, resist the impact force from the stacker-reclaimer, and reduce deformation. The wall thickness of the steel plate structure is 9mm to 11mm to ensure sufficient structural strength while maintaining the lightweight of the stop body 110.

[0050] For example, the wall thickness of the steel plate structure is 10 mm.

[0051] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the concave arc surface 111 along the horizontal direction is a quarter circle, and the chord length of the orthographic projection is 485 mm to 505 mm.

[0052] It is understood that the orthographic projection of the concave arc surface 111 along the horizontal direction is a quarter circle, and the chord length of the orthographic projection is 485mm to 505mm. This ensures that the concave arc surface 111 can absorb the power of the stacker-reclaimer, allowing the stacker-reclaimer to stop on the concave arc surface 111, thus ensuring reliability. For example, the chord length of the orthographic projection is 495mm.
