[0003] The air control system of the car stopper in the car stopper is connected with the air control system of the car stopper, parallel control is formed, under normal circumstances, air door and car stopper open simultaneously, mine car can pass smoothly. Sometimes, air door fails to open or fails to open completely due to failure or obstruction, etc., at this time, the car stopper is still opened, the mine car cannot stop in time, and the phenomenon of hitting the air door occurs from time to time.

[0004] The utility model discloses a kind of monorail crane car track linkage car stopper, involve the technical field of mine safety auxiliary transport equipment, including support frame, the center of the support frame inner chamber top is transversely installed with monorail, the right side of the monorail is provided with rotation adjusting mechanism;The rotation adjusting mechanism includes shell cover, servo motor, limit disc, shaft rod, shaft seat, drive shaft, limit rod, connecting plate and shock absorbing spring.

[0005] The application uses a buffer device to stop the passing vehicle, and the stopping force can be adjusted according to the load size, but the application does not disclose under what circumstances the air door is considered to be not opened or not completely opened, and only manual control is available.

[0006] The prior art urgently needs an alarm car stopper that can only be opened when the air door is completely opened. SUMMARY

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a single-rail hoist track alarm and vehicle stop device in front of the damper.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this monorail overhead crane alarm vehicle stopper includes a monorail overhead crane vehicle stopper, an air damper controller, and an audible and visual alarm. The air damper controller includes a programmable controller and an air damper drive cylinder. The monorail overhead crane vehicle stopper includes a frame, a vehicle stopper, and a vehicle stopper drive cylinder. The vehicle stopper drive cylinder includes a cylinder body and a piston rod. The middle part of the vehicle stopper is hinged to the frame, and the top of the vehicle stopper is hinged to the outer end of the piston rod. The vehicle stopper drive cylinder and the air damper drive cylinder are each equipped with an electrically controlled valve assembly. Both of their electrically controlled valve assemblies and the audible and visual alarm are connected to the signal output terminal of the programmable controller via wires and are controlled by it.

[0009] It also includes a damper position sensor, which comprises a housing, a contact rod, a ball joint, a guide rod, and a normally open switch. The normally open switch is located inside the housing, which has a guide hole. The guide rod passes through the guide hole, and its outer end is connected to a support plate. The inner end of the guide rod can abut against the moving contact of the normally open switch. The ball joint includes a ball socket, a ball head, and a ball rod. The ball head has a cut surface that presses against the support plate. The extension line of the ball rod's axis passes through the center of the ball head. The ball rod also has an annular boss. The contact rod is located at the end of the travel of the damper when it is opened and is connected to the outer end of the ball rod. The ball rod and the guide rod are each fitted with a helical spring. The two ends of the helical spring on the ball rod abut against the annular boss and the ball socket, respectively. The two ends of the helical spring on the guide rod abut against the support plate and the housing, respectively. The normally open switch is connected in series to the wires of the electronically controlled valve group of the vehicle-driving cylinder and the signal output terminal of the programmable controller.

[0010] With this design, the guide rod can only close the normally open switch when the damper is fully open, ensuring proper continuity between the programmable controller's signal output and the solenoid valve assembly of the brake cylinder. Otherwise, the signal output of the programmable controller and the solenoid valve assembly of the brake cylinder remain open. This hardware-based design eliminates the need for the brake to release its braking function when the damper is not fully open or partially open, making it more reliable than manual operation.

[0011] As an optimization, the contact rod is also fitted with an elastic buffer sleeve. This design can buffer door panel collisions and ensure reliable operation.

[0012] This utility model of a single-rail alarm and vehicle stop device for ventilation doors is scientifically designed and reliably operated, making it suitable for use in underground coal mines. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Implementation method one: such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this monorail alarm vehicle stopper includes a monorail vehicle stopper 1, a door controller, and an audible and visual alarm 2. The door controller includes a programmable controller 3 and a door drive cylinder 4. The monorail vehicle stopper 1 includes a frame 5, a vehicle stopper 6, and a vehicle stop drive cylinder 7. The vehicle stop drive cylinder 7 includes a cylinder body 71 and a piston rod 72.

The vehicle stop drive cylinder 7 and the door drive cylinder are each equipped with an electronically controlled valve group 8. The electronically controlled valve group 8 and the audible and visual alarm 2 are all connected to the signal output terminal of the programmable controller 3 through a wire 9 and are controlled by it.

[0020] The application is characterized in that: the damper in place sensor comprises a housing 10, a touch rod 11, a ball joint, a guide rod 12 and a normally open switch 13, the normally open switch 13 is arranged in the housing 10, the housing 10 is provided with a guide hole 14, the guide rod 12 is arranged in the guide hole 14, the outer end of the guide rod 12 is connected with a supporting plate 15, the inner end of the guide rod 12 can abut against the movable contact of the normally open switch 13, the ball joint comprises a ball socket cover 16, a ball head 17 and a ball head rod 18, the ball head 17 is provided with a tangent plane 171 which is pressed on the supporting plate 15, the extension line of the axis of the ball head rod 18 passes through the ball center of the ball head 17, the ball head rod 18 is further provided with a ring boss 19, the touch rod 11 is arranged at the stroke end of the door plate of the damper (not shown in the figure) when the door plate is opened, and is connected to the outer end of the ball head rod 18, the ball head rod 18 and the guide rod 12 are respectively sleeved with a spiral spring 20, the spiral spring 20 on the ball head rod 18 is respectively abutted against the ring boss 19 and the ball socket cover 19, the spiral spring 20 on the guide rod 12 is respectively abutted against the supporting plate 15 and the housing 10, and the normally open switch 13 is connected in series between the electric control valve group 8 of the car stopping driving cylinder 7 and the signal output end of the programmable controller 3. The touch rod 11 is further sleeved with an elastic buffer sleeve 21.

[0021] When there is no monorail crane passing, the damper needs to be kept in the closed state, and the monorail crane stopper 1 in front of the damper needs to be kept in the car stopping state. When the monorail crane approaches, the damper is opened under the control of the programmable controller 3. If the door plate of the damper reaches the stroke end, the touch rod 11 is touched, the ball head rod 18 and the ball head 17 are deflected, the supporting plate 15 is pressed, the movable contact of the normally open switch 13 is actuated through the guide rod 12, and the normally open switch 13 is closed. In this way, the monorail crane stopper 1 can normally release the car stopping state under the control of the programmable controller 3.

[0022] If the door plate of the damper does not reach the stroke end, the door plate of the damper does not touch the touch rod 11, the two spiral springs 20 keep the reset rebound state, and the normally open switch 13 keeps the open circuit state. At this time, the monorail crane stopper 1 cannot release the car stopping state, thereby preventing the monorail crane from breaking the damper.
