AI Technical Summary
When increasing the length of the coal mining face, existing scraper conveyors require increased main drive power and chain specifications, leading to increased failure rate, decreased operational reliability, and excessive infrastructure investment, making it difficult to efficiently adapt to the increase in working face length.
The multi-point driven scraper conveyor with a fully enclosed drive in the middle trough of the upper scraper chain achieves reliable chain operation by arranging chain drive devices at multiple points on the scraper conveyor in conjunction with the main drive. This eliminates the need to increase the main drive power or chain specifications. The permanent magnet synchronous motor and torque detection module improve the drag capacity and reduce the failure rate.
It enables the increase of conveying distance, improvement of operational reliability, reduction of failure rate, and adaptation to the increase of coal mining face length without changing the main drive power and chain specifications.

At present, the length of fully mechanized coal mining face is generally 200-350 meters, and in order to increase the mining efficiency, the length of working face is usually increased. Due to the increase of the length of working face, the length of the scraper conveyor matched therewith also needs to be adjusted accordingly, for example, the matching power of the whole machine needs to be increased, and the specification of the chain also needs to be increased accordingly. However, the above changes will increase the failure rate of the whole machine and reduce the operation reliability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a multi-point driven scraper conveyor with a fully enclosed drive upper scraper chain and a central trough, comprising a head section 1, a tail section 2, and a central trough drive device 3. The central trough drive device 3 is installed on one of the central trough sections 5. Generally, the middle section of the scraper conveyor (excluding the head and tail sections) consists of a transition trough and multiple central troughs. The central troughs are divided into upper and lower sections by steel plates, and scraper chains are installed inside the troughs. The central troughs form the body of the scraper conveyor, composed of a middle plate and trough steel. The upper trough is used for transporting coal, and the lower trough is used for the return trip of the scraper chain.
[0019] Specifically, the middle trough drive device 3 includes a drive unit 301 and a drive sprocket 302. The drive sprocket 302 is mounted on the drive shaft 303 of the drive unit 301 and meshes with the upper scraper chain 4. In this embodiment, the drive unit 301 is a permanent magnet synchronous motor. A closed cavity is provided in the middle trough 5 below the drive sprocket 302 to house the drive sprocket 302 and the drive shaft 303. This closed cavity is separated from the lower trough to prevent coal from the upper trough from leaking into the lower trough. The closed cavity is composed of a surrounding plate 304 with an arc-shaped cross-section of a certain length.
[0020] In this embodiment, the meshing point between the drive sprocket 302 and the upper scraper chain 4 is a certain distance higher than the middle plate 51 of the middle groove, so that the upper scraper chain 4 generates a certain tension at the meshing point, so that the scraper chain will not jump during operation.
[0021] In this embodiment, the height of the central trough 5 is greater than the original height of the central trough on the scraper conveyor, allowing sufficient height and space for motor installation. Transition central troughs 6 are provided on both sides of the central trough 5 to facilitate a height transition between the central trough 5 and the original central trough. The central trough 5 here is constructed using a box-type structure, consisting of a horizontal plate and vertical plates on both sides, to support the central trough drive device 3. The transition central troughs 6 also employ a similar box-type structure. Compared to the original central trough, this structure is simpler and more practical, reducing manufacturing costs.
[0022] The scraper conveyor of this utility model can freely adjust the length of the conveyor. It is only necessary to increase the number of different central trough drive devices according to the length requirements to form a multi-point arrangement of drive devices.
[0023] The middle trough driving device 3 is engaged with the upper scraper chain 4 by the driving sprocket 302, so that it can be conveniently installed on the middle trough 5 and the device is convenient to overhaul.
[0024] In addition, a torque detection module is arranged in the permanent magnet driving motor, which is used for detecting the torque change of the motor driving shaft. The detection module is electrically connected with a control box (not shown in the figure), and the control box is used for judging the torque data sent by the detection module. If the fluctuation value is less than the threshold value of chain breakage, the control box displays and alarms.
[0025] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to this, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range of the technical personnel in the technical field, without departing from the purpose of the utility model, which are all within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
