Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground mining car technology, and more specifically, to an underground mining car braking device. Background Technology

[0002] Mining cars are narrow-gauge railway vehicles used in mines to transport bulk materials such as coal, ore, and waste rock. They are generally pulled by locomotives or winches. To ensure the safety of underground mining cars, specialized underground mining car braking devices are required.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN221605808U discloses a braking device for an underground mine car, comprising a mine car and a braking mechanism disposed at the lower end of the mine car. The braking mechanism includes a fixed block symmetrically disposed laterally in the middle of the lower surface of the mine car, with a sliding plate slidably connected to a sliding opening in the middle of the fixed block. Braking plates are provided on the outer sides of the sliding plates. A driving assembly for moving the sliding plates is also provided at the lower end of the mine car. The patent, through its braking mechanism, increases the coefficient of friction with the track, preventing the mine car from sliding on the track due to its own inertia and the relatively low coefficient of friction between the wheels and the track after braking. This shortens the sliding distance of the mine car after braking, allowing it to complete the braking action in a shorter time. However, the above-mentioned patents still have the following shortcomings: when the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate need to be replaced, it is not convenient to notify the staff in a timely manner; and when the arc-shaped brake block brakes the brake disc and the brake plate brakes the track, friction and heat will be generated, which will affect the service life of the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate. Therefore, we have proposed an underground mine car braking device. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a braking device for underground mining cars.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a screw plug is threaded onto the outer side of the water tank, and the end of the screw plug extends into the inner cavity of the water tank.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) In this utility model, as the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate are used continuously, they will wear out, and at the same time, the distance that the slide moves outward will gradually increase. When the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate need to be replaced, the contact sensor and the slide will come into contact, indicating that the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate have been consumed. At this time, the controller will control the speaker to emit a prompt sound so that the staff can replace the arc-shaped brake block and brake plate in time.

[0014] (2) In this utility model, during the braking process, the water in the inner cavity of the water tank is pumped out by the water pump, so that the nozzle at the end of the water guide steel pipe and the water spraying groove below the spray pipe spray water out. The water sprayed by the nozzle is used to pour and cool the arc-shaped braking block and the brake disc, and the water sprayed by the water spraying groove is used to pour and cool the braking plate and the track, so as to ensure the braking effect of the arc-shaped braking block and the braking plate, and at the same time ensure the service life of the arc-shaped braking block and the braking plate.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A braking device for an underground mine car includes a mine car body 1. Two drive shafts 2 are located at the bottom of the mine car body 1. Track wheels 3 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the two drive shafts 2. Brake discs 4 are fixedly sleeved on the two drive shafts 2. U-shaped brackets 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mine car body 1. Water spraying mechanisms 21 are installed on the two U-shaped brackets 5. First braking mechanisms 20 are installed on both sides of the U-shaped brackets 5. L-shaped mounting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two U-shaped brackets 5. Contact sensors 16 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting plate 15. A controller 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the L-shaped mounting plate 15. A speaker 18 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the L-shaped mounting plate 15. A mounting base 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mine car body 1. A bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 11. Slides 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 12. A first inclined surface 14 is provided on both sides of the ends of the two slides 13. A second braking mechanism 19 is provided at the bottom of the slides 13.

[0027] In this embodiment, the position of the contact sensor 16 is matched with the position of the slide block 13 to ensure that the slide block 13 can contact the contact sensor 16. In addition, when the contact sensor 16 and the slide block 13 are in contact, it means that the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake plate 24 have been pushed to the maximum distance, which means that the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake plate 24 have been consumed and need to be replaced.

[0028] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The water spraying mechanism 21 includes a water tank 25 fixedly connected to the top surface of the U-shaped bracket 5. A water pump 26 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water tank 25. The input end of the water pump 26 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 25 and is fixedly connected to a water suction pipe 27. The output end of the water pump 26 is fixedly connected to a four-way connector 28. The three output ends of the four-way connector 28 are respectively fixedly sleeved with water guide steel pipes 29. The ends of two of the water guide steel pipes 29 extend to the top of the brake disc 4 and are fixedly connected to nozzles 30. The end of the other water guide steel pipe 29 is fixedly connected to a spray pipe 31. A water spray groove 32 is opened on the bottom surface of the spray pipe 31.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first braking mechanism 20 includes a spring 6 fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped bracket 5. The end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to a first mounting seat 7. An arc-shaped braking block 8 is mounted on the first mounting seat 7. A square slide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the first mounting seat 7. The other end of the square slide rod 9 is movably sleeved to the inside of the U-shaped bracket 5 and is provided with a second inclined surface 10. The side of the second inclined surface 10 is in contact with the side of the first inclined surface 14.

[0030] In this embodiment, the square slide bar 9 is pushed by the cooperation between the second inclined surface 10 and the first inclined surface 14 so that the arc-shaped braking block 8 at the end of the square slide bar 9 can squeeze the brake disc 4 to stop.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The second braking mechanism 19 includes a connecting rod 22 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slide block 13. The bottom end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to a second mounting base 23. A brake plate 24 is mounted on the second mounting base 23, and the nozzle 31 is located above the brake plate 24.

[0032] In this embodiment, the position of the brake plate 24 is adapted to the position of the track below the track wheel 3, and the brake plate 24 is located on the inner side of the track so that the brake plate 24 can squeeze the inner side of the track to stop.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner diameter of the arc-shaped brake block 8 is equal to the outer diameter of the brake disc 4.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner side of the arc-shaped brake block 8 is guaranteed to be able to squeeze and stop the brake disc 4.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 5 A screw plug 33 is threaded on the outer side of the water tank 25, and the end of the screw plug 33 extends into the inner cavity of the water tank 25.

[0036] In this embodiment, water is added to the inner cavity of the water tank 25 by removing the screw plug 33.

[0037] Working principle: When the moving mine car body 1 needs to be stopped, the bidirectional hydraulic cylinder 12 is activated, causing the two output ends to drive the two slide blocks 13 to move outward. The sliding between the first inclined surface 14 on the side of the two slide blocks 13 and the second inclined surface 10 at the end of the square slide rod 9 pushes the square slide rod 9 outward, causing the arc-shaped braking block 8 at the end of the square slide rod 9 to squeeze the brake disc 4 to stop. In addition, the slide blocks 13 drive the connecting rod 22, the second mounting seat 23 and the brake plate 24 to move outward, using the brake plate 24 to squeeze the inner side of the track to stop. During the braking process, the water pump 26 is activated to extract water from the inner cavity of the water tank 25. This causes water to spray from the nozzle 30 at the end of the water guide steel pipe 29 and the water spray trough 32 below the spray pipe 31. The water sprayed from the nozzle 30 is used to cool down the area between the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake disc 4, and the water sprayed from the water spray trough 32 is used to cool down the area between the brake plate 24 and the track. As the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake plate 24 continue to be used, they will wear down. When the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake plate 24 need to be replaced, the contact sensor 16 and the slide 13 come into contact, and the controller 17 controls the speaker 18 to emit a prompt sound so that the staff can replace the arc-shaped brake block 8 and the brake plate 24 in time.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
