Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal mine belt conveyors, and in particular to an energy recovery mechanism for idler rollers of coal mine belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] A belt conveyor for coal mines is a type of conveyor that uses a motor-driven belt to transport raw coal from the underground mining face to the mine surface. Due to the long transportation distance and the undulating roadway floor, idlers need to be installed at certain intervals under the belt of the conveyor to support the weight of the belt and the raw coal on it. At the same time, the idlers are designed to roll to reduce the friction between the back of the belt and the idlers.

[0003] However, due to the undulating floor and long distance of underground transport roadways, dedicated power supply routes and lighting equipment are required for worker safety, lighting maintenance and inspection, and video monitoring of coal flow. Typical coal mine underground transport roadways range from several kilometers to tens of kilometers in length, placing high demands on electrical wiring and power consumption. This results in significant energy waste and increases the cost of coal mining. Existing underground mining conveyors do not utilize energy recovery, leading to problems related to worker safety, lighting maintenance and inspection, and video monitoring of coal flow during underground transport, increasing additional energy consumption and production costs. Therefore, this paper proposes an energy recovery mechanism for coal mine belt conveyor rollers to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of an energy recovery mechanism for a coal mine belt conveyor idler roller, comprising a base 1 and a support plate 11. Two sets of bases 1 are provided, with one side of each set of bases 1 close to the other fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the support plate 11. The surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11 via reinforcing support columns 19. The base 1 and support plate 11 form an H-shaped support structure, which improves the overall strength and stability of the structure and enhances its ability to withstand the dynamic load of the idler roller 3. A fixed seat 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 11, and a rotating rod 401 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 2. An idler roller 3 is mounted on the top of the support plate 11. The conveyor belt drives the idler roller 3 to rotate, and the movement of the idler roller 3 generates electricity through a recovery component 9. A mine lighting lamp 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, and the recovered electrical energy can be used to power the mine lighting lamp 20. A fixed component 4 is mounted on the top of the support plate 11, and a recovery component 9 is mounted on the bottom of the support plate 11.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The recycling component 9 includes a battery casing 903, a micro generator 904, a drive shaft 905, and sprockets 906. The battery casing 903 is located at the bottom of the support plate 11 and contains a battery pack for storing electrical energy and supporting use during power outages. The micro generator 904 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1 and converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The current generated by the generator is stored in the battery pack, which is existing technology. The left and right ends of the drive shaft 905 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro generator 904. Bottom support rollers 18 are fixedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft 905 to support the conveyor belt and prevent direct collision between the conveyor belt and the drive shaft 905. The number of sprockets 906 is set to two sets. One set of sprockets 906 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft 905, and the other set of sprockets 906 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 401. The two sets of sprockets 906 are connected by a chain 907.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4The fixing component 4 includes a mounting groove 402 that cooperates with the rotating rod 401. The mounting groove 402 is set on the surface of the rotating rod 401. The fixing component 4 also includes a rotating shaft 403. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller 3. The left and right ends of the rotating shaft 403 are installed inside the mounting groove 402. The rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 401 by fixing bolts 404. The rotating shaft 403 can be removed from the inside of the mounting groove 402 by turning the fixing bolts 404, so as to facilitate the replacement of the roller 3 on the surface of the rotating shaft 403. The number of rotating rods 401 is set to multiple. One side of the rotating rod 401 is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 405, and the other side of the rotating rod 401 is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 406. The bevel gear 405 and the bevel gear 406 mesh. The rotation of the rotating rod 401 will be transmitted to the adjacent rotating rod 401 through the bevel gears, so that all the rotating rods 401 rotate together.

[0033] Working principle: When the belt conveyor starts working, the idler roller 3 rotates with the movement of the conveyor belt. The idler roller 3 is connected to the rotating rod 401 in the fixed assembly 4 through the rotating shaft 403. The rotating shaft 403 is installed in the mounting groove 402 on the surface of the rotating rod 401 and is firmly connected by the fixing bolt 404. The rotation of the idler roller 3 drives the rotating shaft 403 and the rotating rod 401 to rotate synchronously. Since each rotating rod 401 has a bevel gear 405 fixed on one side and a bevel gear 406 fixed on the other side, and the bevel gear 405 and the bevel gear 406 mesh with each other, the rotation of the rotating rod 401 will be transmitted to the adjacent rotating rod 401 through the bevel gears, so that all the rotating rods 401 rotate together.

[0034] The rotation of the rotating rod 401 transmits kinetic energy to the drive shaft 905 via the chain 907. The left and right ends of the drive shaft 905 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro generator 904. When the drive shaft 905 is driven to rotate by the sprocket 906, the micro generator 904 starts to generate electricity. The bottom support roller 18 is fixed on the drive shaft 905, so that the bottom conveyor belt is supported. The electrical energy generated by the micro generator 904 is transmitted through wires to the battery inside the battery casing 903 for storage. The stored electrical energy can be used to drive the monitoring equipment, communication modules or lighting systems in the tunnel, thereby realizing the effective utilization and saving of energy.

[0035] When it is necessary to replace the idler roller 3 during routine maintenance, the idler roller 3 and its related shaft 403 can be disassembled by loosening the fixing bolt 404, which facilitates the inspection and replacement of worn parts. The tension of the chain 907 can be adjusted as needed to ensure the normal operation of the chain drive system and extend its service life.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
