Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coal mine transportation technology, and more specifically, to a coal hopper for coal mine transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most coal mine main coal transport systems use belt conveyors because they offer advantages such as long transport distances, large transport capacity, low transport resistance, and stable operation. In coal mining production, to prevent large pieces of coal and gangue from entering the main transport system and causing safety accidents such as clogging coal bunker chutes and feeder chutes, crushers are required to break up large pieces of coal and gangue before they are transported by belt conveyors.

[0003] However, in the existing design, no buffer device is installed between the crusher and the belt conveyor. The coal crushed by the crusher falls directly onto the conveyor belt, which has a large impact on the conveyor belt, causing wear on the conveyor belt surface and seriously affecting the service life of the belt conveyor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a coal hopper for coal mine transportation, which can solve the technical problem in the existing design where there is no buffer device between the crusher and the belt conveyor, and the crushed coal falls directly onto the conveyor belt, resulting in a large impact force, causing surface wear and seriously affecting the service life of the belt conveyor.

[0005] This application provides a coal hopper for coal mine transportation, including a support frame, an elastic connecting component on the support frame, a hopper on the elastic connecting component, a material guide movably sleeved on the lower part of the hopper, and a buffer component between the material guide and the hopper.

[0006] The buffer assembly includes a buffer spring, a first limiting ring, and a second limiting ring. The first limiting ring is fixed to the lower outer side of the funnel, and the second limiting ring is fixed to the upper inner side of the material guide. The second limiting ring is located above the first limiting ring, and the buffer spring is located between the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring and is sleeved on the lower part of the funnel.

[0007] Furthermore, the funnel includes an upper receiving hopper and a lower feeding cylinder integrally formed with the upper receiving hopper, wherein the cross-section of the upper receiving hopper is a right trapezoid.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two elastic connection components, which are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic connection assembly includes a connecting ear, a connecting spring, a guide post, and an anti-detachment component. The connecting ear is fixed to the lower feed cylinder, the lower end of the guide post is fixed to the support frame, and the upper end of the guide post movably passes through the connecting ear. The connecting spring is sleeved on the guide post and located between the connecting ear and the support frame. The anti-detachment component is fixed to the upper end of the guide post, and under the action of the connecting spring, the top of the connecting ear abuts against the anti-detachment component.

[0010] Furthermore, the funnel is provided with a baffle assembly, which is arranged opposite to the inclined side of the upper receiving hopper.

[0011] Furthermore, the material blocking assembly includes a baffle, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The first engaging member is disposed on one side of the baffle, and the second engaging member is fixed to the inner wall of the upper receiving hopper. When the baffle is vertically inserted into the funnel, the first engaging member and the second engaging member engage.

[0012] Furthermore, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the side of the baffle away from the first engaging member.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model connects the funnel to the support frame through an elastic connecting component, which can buffer the impact force generated when coal falls from a height into the coal funnel, reduce the structural deformation, loosening or even damage of the support frame due to long-term impact, and extend the service life of the support frame.

[0015] The buffer assembly installed between the hopper and the material guide works in concert with the buffer spring, the first limiting ring, and the second limiting ring to reduce the speed and force of the falling coal as it flows from the hopper to the material guide. This allows the coal to fall onto the subsequent belt conveyor in a relatively stable state, reducing the impact on the conveyor belt, mitigating wear on the conveyor belt surface, and extending the service life of the belt conveyor.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application provides a coal hopper for coal mine transportation, including a support frame 1, an elastic connecting component 2 on the support frame 1, and a hopper 3 on the elastic connecting component 2. The hopper 3 is connected to the support frame 1 through the elastic connecting component 2, which can buffer the impact force generated when coal falls from a height into the hopper, reduce the structural deformation, loosening or even damage of the support frame 1 due to long-term impact, and extend the service life of the support frame 1. A material guide 4 is movably sleeved on the lower part of the hopper 3, and a buffer component 5 is provided between the material guide 4 and the hopper 3. The buffer component 5 includes a buffer spring 51, a first limiting ring 52 and a second limiting ring 53. A first limiting ring 52 is fixed to the lower outer side of the funnel 3, and a second limiting ring 53 is fixed to the upper inner side of the material guide 4. The second limiting ring 53 is located above the first limiting ring 52. A buffer spring 51 is located between the first limiting ring 52 and the second limiting ring 53 and is sleeved on the lower part of the funnel 3. When the coal flows through the funnel 3 to the material guide 4, the buffer spring 51, the first limiting ring 52 and the second limiting ring 53 work together to reduce the speed and force of the falling coal, so that the coal falls onto the subsequent belt conveyor in a relatively stable state, reducing the impact on the conveyor belt, reducing wear on the surface of the conveyor belt, and extending the service life of the belt conveyor.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the funnel 3 includes an upper receiving hopper 31 and a lower feeding cylinder 32 integrally formed with the upper receiving hopper 31. The cross-section of the upper receiving hopper 31 is a right-angled trapezoid. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower feeding cylinder 32 is a square cylinder, and the buffer spring 51 is a square spring. The hypotenuse of the right-angled trapezoid forms a natural inclined plane. When the coal falls from the crusher into the upper receiving hopper 31, it will slide downward under its own gravity and the guidance of the inclined plane.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two elastic connection components 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the lower receiving cylinder. The two elastic connection components 2 work together to reduce the swinging or tilting of the funnel 3 when it is subjected to impact force, which helps to maintain the stability of the funnel 3.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic connection assembly 2 includes a connecting ear 21, a connecting spring 22, a guide post 23, and an anti-detachment component 24. The connecting ear 21 is fixed on the lower feed cylinder 32. The lower end of the guide post 23 is fixed on the support frame 1, and the upper end of the guide post 23 movably passes through the connecting ear 21. The connecting spring 22 is sleeved on the guide post 23 and located between the connecting ear 21 and the support frame 1. The anti-detachment component 24 is fixed on the upper end of the guide post 23. Under the action of the connecting spring 22, the top of the connecting ear 21 abuts against the anti-detachment component 24. When the coal falls from a height into the funnel 3, the impact force will cause the connecting ear 21 to press down. At this time, the connecting spring 22 is compressed, converting the impact energy into the elastic potential energy of the spring, thereby reducing the impact force transmitted to the support frame 1. The guide post 23 provides precise guidance for the up and down movement of the connecting ear 21. When the funnel 3 is subjected to impact force and moves up and down, the connecting ear 21 will move smoothly along the guide post 23, avoiding the connecting ear 21 from deviating or shaking during the movement.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the funnel 3 is equipped with a baffle assembly 6, which is set opposite to the inclined side of the upper receiving hopper 31. During coal transportation, the coal enters from the upper receiving hopper 31. Since the upper receiving hopper 31 has a right-angled trapezoidal cross section and an inclined side, when the coal slides down along the inclined side, it will cause erosion on the opposite side of the lower discharge cylinder 32. Over time, this will lead to increased wear on that side and may even cause local damage. The baffle assembly 6 can reduce the wear and impact on this part and extend the service life of the funnel 3.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the material blocking assembly 6 includes a baffle 61, a first engaging member 62, and a second engaging member 63. The first engaging member 62 is located on one side of the baffle 61, and the second engaging member 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the upper receiving hopper 31. When the baffle 61 is vertically inserted into the funnel 3, the first engaging member 62 and the second engaging member 63 engage, thus fixing the baffle 61. The installation method is simple and quick. When installing the material blocking assembly 6, simply insert the baffle 61 vertically into the funnel 3 so that the first engaging member 62 and the second engaging member 63 engage to complete the installation. When it is necessary to inspect, repair, or replace the material blocking assembly 6, pull up the baffle 61 to release the engagement of the first engaging member 62 and the second engaging member 63, and the baffle 61 can be easily removed from the funnel 3.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, a wear-resistant layer 7 is provided on the side of the baffle 61 away from the first clamping member 62. During the transportation of coal in the mine, the coal will continuously rub and collide with the baffle 61. The wear-resistant layer 7 on the side of the baffle 61 away from the first clamping member 62 can effectively resist the scouring and wear of the coal. With the protection of the wear-resistant layer 7, the baffle 61 can maintain good integrity during long-term use, reducing the frequency of maintenance or replacement due to wear of the baffle 61, and reducing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
