Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle braking technology, and in particular to a braking resistor box assembly for a mining dump truck. Background Technology

[0002] Mining dump trucks are large-scale mining transportation equipment. The braking system is a crucial component of a mining dump truck, its performance directly affecting the overall safety of the vehicle. The quality of the braking system design directly impacts the degree to which braking technology requirements are met. In many mines, mining dump trucks operate 24 hours a day, placing extremely high demands on the vehicle's safety, reliability, and minimizing driver workload. The braking system of a mining dump truck consists of two parts: electric braking and hydraulic braking. When the vehicle is going downhill and electric braking is applied, the wheel motors act as generators, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is then fed into the resistor assembly and converted into heat energy, which is dissipated into the atmosphere, thus reducing the vehicle's speed and achieving braking.

[0003] Existing braking resistor assemblies include, for example, Chinese patent application CN201220254955.6, filed on June 1, 2012, which discloses a braking resistor device for an electric wheel dump truck. This braking resistor device has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Due to the small installation gap between the resistor grids, they cannot be tightened one by one (which may cause the subsequent resistor grids to be unable to align with the mounting holes and thus fail to be installed). All resistor grids need to be placed in place before being tightened uniformly. However, this type of braking resistor device can only be tightened by reaching under the bracket from the end face, which makes the installation difficult and the installation efficiency very low.

[0005] 2. In the existing braking resistor device, the resistor grid and the mounting beam are insulated by lower and upper insulating porcelain. Mica tubes are also installed between the lower and upper insulating porcelain and the screw to insulate the screw and the mounting beam. This insulation method has a complex structure, and the insulating porcelain is a brittle material that is easily damaged by impact and loses its insulation properties.

[0006] 3. In the existing type of braking resistor device, the vibration is damped by rubber pads between the fan and the mounting beam. Most of the rubber pads are exposed to the air, which makes them susceptible to environmental corrosion, aging and cracking, thus affecting the vibration damping effect.

[0007] 4. In this type of braking resistor device, the resistor unit uses a busbar to pass through the outside of the enclosure for wiring, and waterproof measures need to be taken at the point where the busbar passes through the enclosure.

[0008] 5. For existing braking resistor devices, refer to the attached diagram for wiring between resistor grids. Figure 8As shown, the parallel resistor unit A and resistor unit B are controlled by brake contactor 8 respectively. The two brake contactors operate simultaneously. The fan is only electrically connected to resistor unit A or resistor unit B. When the contactor electrically connected to the fan is damaged, the other resistor unit will be damaged because it will not have the cooling effect of the fan when it is working.

[0009] Based on this, this application provides a braking resistor box assembly for a mining dump truck to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the present invention provides a braking resistor box assembly for a mining dump truck.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0012] A braking resistor box assembly for a mining dump truck is provided, comprising a housing, a fan located in the middle of a frame fixed to the housing by insulating fasteners, and resistor units A and B, each composed of multiple resistor grids, located at both ends of the fan within the frame of the housing by shock-absorbing fasteners. Air inlets are located on both sides of the middle of the housing, and air outlets are located at both ends of the housing. Both sides of the housing have operating ports for convenient installation of resistor grids at the installation positions of resistor units A and B, and sealing plates are fixedly installed on the operating ports. The insulating fasteners include a first screw, a lower insulating component, an upper insulating component, a round nut, and a first fastening nut. The top of the lower insulating component has a boss that inserts into a mounting hole on the resistor grid mounting beam, and the outer diameter of the boss is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole. The bottom of the upper insulating component has a countersunk hole that engages with the boss. The first screw passes through the lower and upper insulating components and is screwed to the round nut. The resistor grids are fixed to the first screw by the first fastening nut.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the lower and upper insulators are made of bakelite.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, the lower insulating member and / or the upper insulating member have a regular hexagonal cross-section, and the head of the first screw is a hexagonal head, which is embedded and fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower insulating member.

[0015] In some alternative embodiments, the round nut has wrench slots on both sides for easy tightening with a wrench.

[0016] In some optional embodiments, the vibration damping fastener includes a second screw, a vibration damping element, and a second fastening nut. The vibration damping element consists of an inner flange sleeve, a bushing, and an outer flange sleeve. The bushing is made of silicone and is located between the inner flange sleeve and the outer flange sleeve. The second screw passes through the fan mounting beam, the fan mounting plate, the vibration damping element, and is screwed to the second fastening nut.

[0017] In some alternative implementations, the access port extends to the bottom of the housing.

[0018] In some alternative implementations, the operating port is provided with a gland, through which the wiring cable passes into the housing to connect with resistor unit A and resistor unit B.

[0019] In some optional embodiments, the fan is electrically connected to resistor unit A or resistor unit B, and a connecting cable is provided between resistor unit A and resistor unit B to realize the electrical connection between the fan and resistor unit B or resistor unit A.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. This utility model provides an operating port on both sides of the housing at the installation position of the resistor unit, which allows for tightening of the fastening bolts of each resistor grid from the front, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty.

[0022] 2. The designed insulating fastener does not require the installation of mica tubes on the screw, which simplifies the structure. Furthermore, the upper and lower insulating parts of bakelite have good insulation effect, long service life, and will not be damaged by collision.

[0023] 3. The first screw is embedded and fixed in the lower insulating part. It can be tightened by directly turning the lower insulating part. The lower insulating part has a large area, which makes the tightening operation more convenient.

[0024] 4. The designed shock absorber uses inner and outer flanges to cover silicone bushings, which can effectively reduce the exposed surface of the bushing, thereby reducing bushing corrosion and improving bushing service life.

[0025] 5. By using a method of wiring the cable through the gland and inside the enclosure, the problem of needing waterproofing measures for traditional busbar wiring through the enclosure is solved;

[0026] 6. By setting a connecting cable between resistor unit A and resistor unit B, the fan is electrically connected to resistor unit A and resistor unit B. This effectively solves the problem that traditional resistor devices are damaged when the contactor connected to the fan is damaged, resulting in the other resistor unit being damaged without the cooling effect of the fan during operation.

Example 1

[0044] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a braking resistor box assembly for a mining dump truck, including a box body 1, a fan 2 located in the middle of a frame 1.1 fixed to the box body by insulating fasteners 4, and resistor units A and B, which are composed of multiple resistor grids 3 and located at both ends of the fan 2, respectively fixed to the frame 1.1 of the box body by shock-absorbing fasteners 5. Air inlets 1.2 are located on both sides of the middle of the box body 1, and air outlets 1.3 are located at both ends of the box body 1.

[0045] To address the issue of inconvenience in tightening existing braking resistor boxes after the resistor grids are installed, as shown in the attached document... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, operation ports 1.4 are provided on both sides of the housing 1 at the installation positions of resistor unit A and resistor unit B to facilitate the installation of resistor grid 3. Preferably, the operation ports 1.4 are extended to the bottom of the housing 1. A sealing plate 6 is fixedly installed on the operation port 1.4. After the resistor is tightened, the sealing plate is fixed on the operation port.

[0046] To address the issues of complex structure and susceptibility to impact damage associated with existing resistor grids using insulating ceramics, as shown in the attached document... Figure 2 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment designs an insulating fastener 4, which includes a first screw 4.1, a lower insulating member 4.2, an upper insulating member 4.3, a round nut 4.4, and a first fastening nut 4.5. The top of the lower insulating member 4.2 is provided with a boss 4.2.1 for inserting into the mounting hole on the resistor grid mounting beam 1.1.1, and the outer diameter of the boss 4.2.1 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole. The bottom of the upper insulating member 4.3 is provided with a countersunk hole for inserting into the boss 4.2.1. The first screw 4.1 passes through the lower insulating member 4.2 and the upper insulating member 4.3 and is screwed to the round nut 4.4. The resistor grid 3 is fixed to the first screw 4.1 by the first fastening nut 4.5. Preferably, the lower insulating member 4.2 and the upper insulating member 4.3 are made of bakelite. Preferably, the round nut 4.4 in this embodiment has wrench grooves on both sides for easy tightening with a wrench. The insulating fastener designed in this embodiment does not require the installation of a mica tube on the screw, which simplifies the structure. Furthermore, the upper and lower insulating parts made of bakelite have good insulation effect, long service life, and will not be damaged by collision.

[0047] During the installation of the resistor grid, first, pass the boss of the lower insulating component through the mounting hole of the resistor grid mounting beam. Then, put the upper insulating component onto the boss of the upper and lower insulating components. Next, pass the first screw through the lower and upper insulating components in sequence. Then, screw the round nut onto the first screw (do not tighten it). Install all the insulating fasteners at both ends of each resistor grid on the resistor grid mounting beam in the above manner. Then, install all the resistors in place and tighten the fastening nut of each insulating fastener from the operating port. Finally, tighten the first screw one by one. Example 2

[0048] Based on Example 1, this example further optimizes the insulating fastener, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower insulating member 4.2 and / or the upper insulating member 4.3 have a hexagonal cross-section. The head of the first screw 4.1 is a hexagonal head, which is embedded and fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower insulating member. That is, the bottom of the lower insulating member has a hexagonal hole, and the hexagonal head of the first screw is recessed into the hexagonal hole. Then, insulating glue can be used to seal and fix it to prevent the first screw from coming out. This implementation allows for direct tightening of the lower insulating member. The lower insulating member has a large area, making the tightening operation more convenient. At the same time, the first screw and the lower insulating member are assembled into a single structure, eliminating the need to insert the first screw, thus simplifying the installation of the resistor grid. Example 3

[0049] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment designs a shock-absorbing fastener 5, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown, the vibration damping fastener 5 in this embodiment includes a second screw 5.1, a vibration damping component 5.2, and a second fastening nut 5.3. The vibration damping component 5.2 consists of an inner flange sleeve 5.2.1, a bushing 5.2.2, and an outer flange sleeve 5.2.3. The bushing 5.2.2 is made of silicone and is located between the inner flange sleeve 5.2.1 and the outer flange sleeve 5.2.3. The second screw 5.1 passes through the fan mounting beam 1.1.2, the fan mounting plate, the vibration damping component 5.2, and is screwed to the second fastening nut 5.3. The vibration damping component designed in this embodiment, by using the inner and outer flange sleeves to cover the silicone bushing, can effectively reduce the exposed surface of the bushing, thereby reducing the corrosion of the bushing and improving its service life. Example 4

[0050] Based on any of the above embodiments, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment has a gland (not shown in the figure) on the operation port 1.4. The wiring cable passes through the gland and enters the enclosure to connect with resistor unit A and resistor unit B. This embodiment uses the method of wiring through the gland to solve the problem of needing waterproofing measures when wiring the busbar through the enclosure in the traditional way. Example 5

[0051] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides that the fan is electrically connected to resistor unit A or resistor unit B, and a connecting cable 7 is provided between resistor unit A and resistor unit B to realize the electrical connection between the fan 2 and resistor unit B or resistor unit A. That is: in one embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 7 and attached Figure 9 As shown, the fan is electrically connected to resistor unit A, and a connecting cable is provided between resistor unit A and resistor unit B to achieve electrical connection between the fan and resistor unit B. In other embodiments, the fan can also be electrically connected to resistor unit B, and a connecting cable is provided between resistor unit A and resistor unit B to achieve electrical connection between the fan and resistor unit A. This design achieves electrical connection between the fan and resistor units A and B, effectively solving the problem in traditional resistor devices where damage to the contactor connected to the fan results in the other resistor unit being damaged due to lack of cooling air from the fan during operation.
