Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of silo cleaning technology, specifically relating to an intelligent silo cleaning robot. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional silo cleaning methods, such as mechanized equipment like vibrators and loosening machines, can alleviate minor coal blockages to some extent, but their effectiveness is limited for hardened, compacted materials or severe blockages caused by long-term storage. Furthermore, while there is academic research on unblocking devices and cleaning robots, most of these findings remain at the theoretical or laboratory stage, lacking effective application and widespread adoption in actual production environments.
[0003] Currently, clearing blockages in coal bunkers mainly relies on manual labor or explosives. Manual clearing is not only extremely labor-intensive and inefficient, but also poses significant safety risks due to the harsh environment inside the coal bunker, characterized by extreme low temperatures, high humidity, dust, and pressure. Even with strict safety procedures, it is difficult to completely avoid personal injury accidents. Explosive clearing presents even greater safety hazards, potentially triggering explosions that pose a serious threat to the environment and personnel. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent silo cleaning robot that solves the problems of significant safety hazards and low efficiency associated with existing methods of clearing coal silos that rely on manual or explosive methods.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a silo intelligent cleaning robot, comprising a rotating support frame, a rotating assembly rotatably mounted on the rotating support frame, a rotating steel pipe frame and a wire winch assembly connected to the rotating assembly, the bottom end of the rotating steel pipe frame rotatably hooking the near end of the boom, an oil pipe roller assembly and a wire winch mounted on the wire winch support frame in the wire winch assembly, the wire winch being driven by a wire rope for winding, the wire rope being suspended and connected to the far end of the boom, the oil pipe roller assembly comprising an oil pipe roller support frame, an oil pipe roller rotatably mounted on the oil pipe roller support frame, a hydraulic oil pipe being driven by winding on the oil pipe roller, the hydraulic oil pipe being connected to an octagonal demolition power head and supplying oil to the hydraulic power pick in the octagonal demolition power head.
[0006] The advantages of this utility model are: the equipment can be remotely operated to quickly clean the hardened and attached materials in the silo without personnel entering the silo; it is suitable for silos of various sizes and shapes, and is safe and efficient; the equipment adopts a modular structure for easy transportation and installation; and appropriate cleaning devices can be selected according to different silo conditions, making it efficient and convenient.
[0007] In order to ensure that the octagonal demolition power head works stably in different positions inside the silo;
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a hydraulic motor for driving the oil pipe drum rotation is installed on the oil pipe drum support, and the hydraulic oil pipe is connected to a hydraulic pump station system through a rotary joint.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the oil pipe roller assembly can operate synchronously during the lifting and lowering of the octagonal demolition power head, providing a stable oil supply to the hydraulic power pick.
[0010] To ensure the safety of hydraulic hoses and wire ropes;
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a fixed pulley mechanism for rolling support of hydraulic oil pipes and wire ropes is installed on the rotating steel pipe frame, and a fixed pulley mechanism for rolling support of hydraulic oil pipes is installed at the far end of the boom.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the fixed pulley mechanism can provide safe support for the bends of the hydraulic oil pipe and wire rope, and ensure the smooth winding of the hydraulic oil pipe and wire rope.
[0013] To ensure the stability of the connection between the boom and the wire rope;
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: multiple lifting rings for threading steel wire ropes are welded onto the boom.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the addition of the lifting ring can effectively improve the stability of the wire rope's support for the boom.
[0016] In order to ensure that the rotary assembly rotates stably on the rotary support so as to drive the octagonal demolition power head to move;
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the rotary assembly includes a gear ring, which is installed on the top of the limiting plate. The gear ring and the limiting plate are rotatably clamped on the rotary support. The gear ring meshes with a drive gear, which is installed on the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive motor, the wire winch support frame, and the rotary steel pipe frame are all installed on the gear ring.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the rotary assembly installed on the rotary support can drive the rotation of the rest of the control device.
[0019] To ensure the octagonal demolition power head can perform stable unblocking operations;
[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the hydraulic power pick is mounted on a bracket, and multiple folding legs are rotatably mounted on the bracket, with a baffle installed on the bracket above the folding legs.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: under the limitation of the baffle, multiple folding legs unfold at a certain angle, so that the octagonal demolition power head is stably supported on the coal seam surface, thereby enabling the hydraulic power pick to work stably.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4: A silo intelligent cleaning robot includes a rotating support 2, on which a rotating assembly 6 is rotatably mounted. The rotating assembly 6 is connected to a rotating steel pipe frame 1 and a wire winch assembly 4. The bottom end of the rotating steel pipe frame 1 is rotatably hooked to the near end of an arm 5. An oil pipe roller assembly 3 and a wire winch 42 are mounted on a wire winch support frame 43 in the wire winch assembly 4. The wire winch 42 is driven by a wire rope 41, which is suspended from the far end of the arm 5. The oil pipe roller assembly 3 includes an oil pipe roller support 33, on which an oil pipe roller 32 is rotatably mounted. A liquid... The hydraulic hose 31 connects to the octagonal demolition power head 7 and supplies oil to the hydraulic power pick 71 within the octagonal demolition power head 7. This allows for remote operation without personnel entering the silo, enabling rapid cleaning of hardened, wall-mounted materials. It is adaptable to silos of various sizes and shapes, ensuring safety and efficiency. The equipment is assembled using a modular structure, facilitating transportation and installation. Appropriate cleaning devices can be selected based on different silo conditions, offering high efficiency and convenience. A hydraulic motor is installed on the hose roller support 33 to drive the hose roller 32. The hydraulic hose 31 is connected to a hydraulic pump station system via a rotary joint. The hose roller assembly 3 operates synchronously with the octagonal demolition power head 7 during lifting and lowering, providing a stable oil supply to the hydraulic power pick 71. The rotating steel pipe frame 1 is equipped with a fixed pulley mechanism for rolling support of the hydraulic oil pipe 31 and the wire rope 41. The distal end of the boom 5 is also equipped with a fixed pulley mechanism for rolling support of the hydraulic oil pipe 31. This fixed pulley mechanism provides safe support for the bends of the hydraulic oil pipe 31 and the wire rope 41, ensuring smooth winding of both. Multiple lifting rings for threading the wire rope 41 are welded onto the boom 5. These lifting rings effectively improve the stability of the wire rope 41's support on the boom 5. The rotating assembly 6 includes a gear ring 61, which is mounted on the top of the limiting plate 64. The gear ring 61 and the limiting plate 64 are rotatably clamped onto the rotating support 2. A gear ring 61 meshes with a drive gear 63, which is mounted on the output shaft of a drive motor 62. The drive motor 62, the wire winch support frame 43, and the rotating steel pipe frame 1 are all mounted on the gear ring 61. A rotating assembly 6 mounted on a rotating support 2 can drive the rotation of the rest of the control device. A hydraulic power pick 71 is mounted on a support 72, and multiple folding legs 73 are rotatably mounted on the support 72. A baffle 74 is mounted on the support 72 above the folding legs 73. Under the limitation of the baffle 74, the multiple folding legs 73 unfold at a certain angle, so that the octagonal breaking power head 7 is stably supported on the coal seam surface, thereby enabling the hydraulic power pick 71 to work stably.
[0031] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: the wire rope winch 42 winds up the wire rope 41, thereby driving the boom 5 to rotate up and down, changing the height and position of the octagonal demolition power head 7. At the same time, the hydraulic pipe drum 32 operates synchronously, winding up the hydraulic oil pipe 31 in conjunction with the winding of the wire rope 41 to drive the octagonal demolition power head 7 to rise and fall, moving in the radial and axial directions of the silo to clear blockages at different locations within the silo. When the drive motor 62 runs, it drives the drive gear 63 to rotate, which in turn meshes with the drive gear ring 61 to rotate, driving the hydraulic pipe drum assembly 3, the wire rope winch assembly 4, and the rotating steel pipe frame 1 to rotate as a whole on the rotating slewing support 2, thereby driving the boom 5 to move circumferentially within the silo to clear blockages at different locations within the silo. After the octagonal demolition power head 7 is placed inside the silo, the folding leg 73 unfolds and supports the coal seam surface, allowing the hydraulic power pick 71 to be stably deployed and operated under hydraulic drive.
