Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal preparation equipment technology, specifically to an automatic material blockage clearing device based on intelligent monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] During the material feeding process via the conveyor belt chute, the material flows into the next piece of equipment. To prevent larger materials and debris from entering the next piece of equipment along with the initial material, a grate is usually installed at the chute inlet. This grate effectively blocks larger materials and debris, preventing them from entering the next piece of equipment and affecting subsequent production. However, this design also brings new problems.

[0003] When larger materials and debris fall onto the grate, if not cleaned in time, they can accumulate at the feed inlet. This accumulation can lead to a series of serious consequences, such as chute blockage and material overflow, ultimately affecting the normal operation of the entire production process. To solve this problem, the traditional approach is to assign 1-2 employees to the chute feed inlet to monitor the situation in real time and clean up larger materials and debris that fall onto the grate.

[0004] However, this manual cleaning method has several drawbacks. First, the cleaning process is labor-intensive, the working environment is harsh, and prolonged work can easily lead to worker fatigue, affecting work efficiency and safety. Second, the timeliness of manual cleaning is difficult to guarantee; even slight negligence can cause material blockages and production interruptions. Third, the need for dedicated personnel to monitor and clean the work increases the company's labor costs. Finally, the uncertainty of manual operation may lead to incomplete cleaning or safety hazards during the cleaning process.

[0005] Furthermore, existing automatic cleaning devices are often complex in structure, have high maintenance costs, and their cleaning effect is not ideal. Some devices may damage the grate or be unable to effectively handle materials of different types and sizes. At the same time, the lack of an intelligent monitoring system makes it impossible to make real-time and accurate judgments on material blockage, leading to improper timing of cleaning and affecting the cleaning effect.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] This application aims to solve the problem of material accumulation and blockage at the feed inlet of a chute. To this end, an automatic material clearing device based on intelligent monitoring is provided, comprising a chute body 10, a feed inlet grate 20, and an automatic material clearing device 30. The chute body 10 is used to conduct materials transmitted from a feeding belt conveyor 70, and a feed inlet 11 is provided at one end of the chute body 10 near the feeding belt conveyor 70. The feed inlet grate 20 is located at the feed inlet 11 of the chute body 10, and an observation port 12 is provided above the feed inlet 11 for observing the material accumulation on the feed inlet grate 20. The automatic material clearing device 30 is located at the feed inlet 11 and is used to remove the material blocking the feed inlet grate 20.

[0042] In this embodiment, the chute body 10 is used to conduct materials transmitted from the feeding belt conveyor 70, and the inlet grate 20 is used to block larger materials and debris, preventing them from entering the next piece of equipment and affecting production. The observation port 12 is used to observe the material accumulation on the inlet grate 20. The automatic cleaning device 30 is used to remove material clogging the inlet grate 20, thereby preventing chute blockage and overflow. Through the cooperation of these technical features, automatic monitoring and cleaning of material accumulation at the inlet is achieved, reducing the labor intensity of manual cleaning and ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0043] The automatic cleaning device of this application is based on intelligent monitoring. It acquires images of the area around the feed inlet grate 20 via a video acquisition device 40. A processing module 50 processes the image data and determines whether the feed inlet grate 20 is clogged. A control module 60 controls the drive device 33 to operate based on the judgment result of the processing module 50, thereby achieving automatic cleaning. A cleaning grate 31 is installed at the feed inlet 11, with its teeth adjacent to those of the feed inlet grate 20. A rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the chute body 10, and the cleaning grate 31 is arranged axially along and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32. The drive device 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning grate 31 to flip, turning over the material clogged on the feed inlet grate 20 and expelling it from the feed inlet 11.

[0044] The video acquisition device 40 is used to monitor the status of the grate 20 at the feed inlet 11 in real time. The processing module 50 analyzes the acquired video data to determine whether there is material accumulation. Based on the feedback, the control module 60 drives the cleaning device to clean the material. The design of the cleaning grate 31 enables it to effectively remove blockages from the grate, ensuring the smooth flow of the chute.

[0045] In this way, this application achieves automated material accumulation and cleaning, avoiding the lag and labor intensity of manual cleaning. Compared with traditional technologies, the device of this application, through intelligent monitoring and automatic cleaning, achieves efficient and stable material transfer, reduces blockages and spills in the production process, and improves production efficiency and reliability.

[0046] Furthermore, this application also proposes an automatic material clearing device comprising a material clearing grate 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a driving device 33. The material clearing grate 31 is installed at the inlet 11, and the teeth of the material clearing grate 31 are arranged adjacent to the teeth of the inlet 11 grate 20. The rotating shaft 32 is disposed on the chute body 10 and is rotatably connected to the chute body 10. The material clearing grate 31 is arranged along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32, and the material clearing grate 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 32. The driving device 33 is connected to the rotating shaft 32 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, thereby causing the material clearing grate 31 to flip over and turn the material blocked on the inlet 11 grate 20 out of the inlet 11.

[0047] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the chute body 10 and rotatably connected to it. The cleaning grate 31 is arranged axially along the rotating shaft 32 and fixedly connected to it, ensuring that the cleaning grate 31 rotates synchronously when the rotating shaft 32 rotates. The driving device 33 is connected to the rotating shaft 32 and drives it to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning grate 31 to rotate and dislodge the material blocking the inlet grate 20 from the inlet 11. This design automatically clears the blockage material from the inlet grate 20, solving the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency associated with manual cleaning, and ensuring smooth material flow into the next stage of equipment.

[0048] The teeth of the cleaning grate 31 are arranged adjacent to the teeth of the inlet grate 20, which minimizes the obstruction of the material by the cleaning grate 31 and the inlet grate 20, allowing the material to pass smoothly through the cleaning grate 31 and the inlet grate 20 into the chute. The drive device 33 can adopt common drive methods such as electric motors and hydraulic motors, and is connected to the rotating shaft 32 through a reducer and transmission mechanism to realize the rotation of the rotating shaft 32.

[0049] By combining a cleaning grate 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a drive device 33, this application effectively solves the problem of material blockage on the feed inlet grate 20. Compared with traditional manual cleaning methods, this application greatly reduces labor intensity, improves cleaning efficiency, avoids production interruptions caused by material blockage, and ensures smooth material transport.

[0050] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the automatic cleaning device further includes a baffle plate 34, which is disposed on the outside of the rotating shaft 32.

[0051] In this embodiment, the function of the baffle plate 34 is to guide the material into the blockage conveying device 35 when the automatic cleaning device is working, preventing the material from scattering to unwanted locations during the cleaning process. By adding the baffle plate 34, the cleaning and conveying of materials can be controlled more effectively, ensuring that the material does not scatter during the cleaning process, and further improving the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0052] The baffle plate 34 can be made of various materials, such as metal plates. Specifically, the baffle plate 34 can be fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 32 by welding, bolting, or other methods, so that it can stably block and guide the material when the cleaning device is working. As a preferred embodiment, the baffle plate 34 can be designed in an arc shape to better conform to the flow trajectory of the material and further improve the cleaning effect.

[0053] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the automatic material clearing device further includes a blockage conveying device 35, which is located outside the feed inlet 11 and below the baffle plate 34. The blockage conveying device 35 is used to receive the material that the clearing grate 31 flips over from the feed inlet grate 20 and to transfer the material to a predetermined device.

[0054] By setting up the material blocking conveyor 35, the cleared material can be effectively transported to the designated equipment, avoiding material accumulation on the outside of the feed inlet 11 and ensuring smooth production.

[0055] The material blocking conveying device 35 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the material blocking conveying device 35 can be a belt conveyor, through which the material is transported to the predetermined equipment; or it can be a chute, through which the material is transported to the predetermined equipment. As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the material blocking conveying device 35 can be a belt conveyor, which has a simple structure, high transmission efficiency, and is easy to maintain.

[0056] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the automatic material clearing device includes a blockage collection box 36, which is connected to the blockage conveying device 35 and is used to collect the material conveyed by the blockage conveying device 35.

[0057] The material blockage collection box 36 of the automatic material clearing device is used to collect the material conveyed from the material blockage conveying device 35. The material blockage collection box 36 is connected to the material blockage conveying device 35 to ensure that the cleared material is effectively collected and processed, and the collected material is centrally processed.

[0058] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the automatic material blockage clearing device based on intelligent monitoring further includes a video acquisition device 40, a processing module 50, and a control module 60. The video acquisition device 40 is located outside the feed inlet 11 and is used to acquire images of the area of ​​the grate 20 of the feed inlet 11. The processing module 50 is connected to the video acquisition device 40 and is used to process the image data acquired by the video acquisition device 40 and determine whether the grate 20 of the feed inlet 11 is blocked. The control module 60 is connected to the processing module 50 and the drive device 33 respectively, and is used to control the drive device 33 to work according to the judgment result of the processing module 50.

[0059] The video acquisition device 40 of this application is used to acquire images of the area of ​​the feed inlet 11 grate 20 in real time, ensuring timely acquisition of material accumulation. The processing module 50 analyzes the acquired image data to determine whether there is material blockage. Based on the judgment result of the processing module 50, the control module 60 controls the drive device 33 to work, thereby realizing the function of automatically clearing blocked materials. In this way, the material blockage problem on the feed inlet 11 grate 20 can be effectively solved, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0060] The video acquisition device 40 can be an industrial camera or other imaging equipment suitable for harsh environments. The processing module 50 can use image processing algorithms and AI algorithms, such as edge detection and shape recognition, to identify the material accumulation situation. The control module 60 can include a microcontroller or a programmable logic controller (PLC) to achieve precise control of the drive device 33. The drive device 33 can be an electric motor or a pneumatic device that drives the cleaning grate 31 to flip, clearing the blocked material from the inlet and outlet 11.

[0061] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a first connecting plate 37 is provided at the end of the cleaning grate 31 away from the rotating shaft 32. The length direction of the first connecting plate 37 is consistent with the length direction of the rotating shaft 32. The first connecting plate 37 is located above one side of the cleaning grate 31 and is fixedly connected to the teeth of the cleaning grate 31.

[0062] A second connecting plate 38 is provided at one end of the cleaning grate 31 near the rotating shaft 32. The length direction of the second connecting plate 38 is consistent with the length direction of the rotating shaft 32. The second connecting plate 38 and the first connecting plate 37 are located on the same side of the cleaning grate 31 and are fixedly connected to the teeth of the cleaning grate 31.

[0063] This design makes the cleaning grate 31 more stable during operation, avoiding the problem of the cleaning grate 31 loosening or falling off due to weak connection. Furthermore, when the inlet grate 20 and the cleaning grate 31 are together, the first connecting plate 37 and the second connecting plate 38 can support the inlet grate 20, preventing the material from impacting the cleaning grate 31 and transmitting the impact through the rotating shaft 32 to the drive device 33, thus avoiding damage to the drive device 33.

[0064] This application solves the stability problem at the connection between the cleaning grate 31 and the rotating shaft 32 during operation by setting a first connecting plate 37 at the end of the cleaning grate 31 away from the rotating shaft 32. Compared with the prior art, the design of this application effectively avoids the loosening or falling off of the cleaning grate 31 due to weak connection, thus improving the working efficiency and reliability of the device. Therefore, this application has significant innovation and practicality in structural design.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
