[0024] Referring again to Figures 1-2 , the unloading system includes hopper system 2, hopper support system 3 and dust removal system 6, hopper system 2 is arranged directly above the receiving belt conveyor 4 and is located at the unloading point of grab 11 in ship unloader 1, hopper support system 3 is additionally provided to independently support hopper system 2, hopper support system 3 includes supporting legs 32, supporting cross beams 33, supporting platforms 34 and linkage rods 31, the supporting legs 32 are at least four, which are arranged outside the supporting columns 51 of the ship unloader walking system 5, and the bottom is provided with walking wheels, which are supported and walked by using the space outside the ship unloader 1 and share the same ship rail with the small bridge type grab ship unloader 1, the walking wheels are determined by the vertical load divided by the minimum bearing capacity of the ship rail, and are multiples of 4, not less than 8, the two ends of the supporting cross beams 33 extend out of the ship unloader 1, are arranged on the four supporting legs 32 and are parallel to the ship rail, the supporting platforms 34 are arranged on the supporting cross beams 33 and are in parallel state, the dust removal system 6 is connected to the hopper system 2, and both are installed on the supporting platforms 34; the ship unloader 1 and the hopper system 2 share a ship rail and are independently supported, therefore, in order to construct the synchronous common rail walking whole of the hopper system 2 and the ship unloader 1, the supporting legs 32 of the hopper system 2 are connected to the supporting columns 51 through the linkage rods 31, and the same driving device can synchronously drive the common rail synchronous walking of the ship unloader 1 and the hopper system 2.

[0025] In the embodiment, in order to meet the environmental protection requirements, the hopper system 2 should also have dust removal, dust prevention and dust suppression functions, which include dust suppression bin 21, electric dust prevention curtain 28 and hopper, the unloading point of grab 11 is located in the dust suppression bin 21, and the dust raising range during unloading is limited, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the dust suppression bin 21 is covered above the funnel, which is surrounded by three metal side plates and a bin top plate 29, and a grab bucket 11 entrance is reserved. In order to prevent dust from escaping during unloading, an electric dust curtain 28 is arranged above the entrance of the grab bucket 11. The electric dust curtain 28 is provided with a grab bucket 11 sensing detector and a door curtain control system. The door curtain control system automatically opens the door according to the preset automatic opening time of the moving speed and unloading time of the grab bucket 11. After the grab bucket 11 is detected within a certain distance, the electric dust curtain 28 is automatically opened to allow the grab bucket 11 to enter the bin, and the electric dust curtain 28 is closed after the grab bucket 11 is completely in the bin. According to the preset automatic opening time, the electric dust curtain 28 is opened to allow the grab bucket 11 to exit the bin, and the electric dust curtain 28 is closed after the grab bucket 11 is completely out of the bin. Thus, during the serious dust stage of unloading, the dust suppression bin 21 is in a fully closed state, effectively controlling dust pollution. In order to allow the traveling of the hoisting rope of the grab bucket 11, a feeding groove 291 is arranged on the top of the bin top plate 29 of the dust suppression bin 21. The feeding groove 291 is adapted to the moving stroke of the grab bucket 11. In order to prevent dust from escaping from the feeding groove 291, sealing brushes are arranged on the groove walls on both sides of the feeding groove 291 to allow the hoisting rope to pass through while preventing dust from escaping to a certain extent.

[0026] As a further technical solution, considering that the dust settling time is too long, there is still a possibility of diffusion when the electric dust curtain 28 is opened. Therefore, a dust removal system 6 is arranged and a certain structure of the funnel is configured to promote rapid dust settling and removal. Referring again to Figure 3 , the funnel is an integrated structure, which includes a dust removal bin 22, an outer bucket body 24 and an inner bucket body 27 from outside to inside.

A ladder is arranged on the land side of the dust suppression bin 21 to access the support platform 34. Maintenance personnel can enter the dust removal channel 23 by opening the operation door from the support platform 34. The height and cross-sectional width of the dust removal channel 23 should meet the spatial requirements of the maintenance personnel.

[0028] The outer bucket body 24 and the inner bucket body 27 are double-layered sleeve structures, the inner bucket body 27 is located in the outer bucket body 24, the inner discharge port 26 of the inner bucket body 27 is higher than the outer discharge port of the outer bucket body 24, and the taper of the inner bucket body 27 is greater than the taper of the outer bucket body 24, the taper angle of the inner bucket body 27 is not less than 45°, and the height of the inner bucket body 27 is not less than 1.0 m, so that a circular dust escape air channel with a continuously narrowing cross section from bottom to top is formed on the upper part of the inner taper surface in the outer bucket body 24 and the outer taper surface of the inner bucket body 27, dust is sucked by the negative pressure around the inner discharge port 26, and the negative pressure adsorption force is small near the inner discharge port 26 and becomes greater upward, so that it is beneficial for the falling of the grain particles with a certain weight and the rapid discharge and removal of the upward dust; and the grain bulk material unloaded by the grab bucket 11 is collected and discharged by the inner bucket body 27, the inner discharge port 26 at the lower end of the inner bucket body 27 is provided with a grid, the grain falls by the force and is separated from a large amount of dust and falls on the inner taper surface of the outer bucket body 24 to be separated again, and the dust is separated and removed by the twice impact and negative pressure adsorption; in addition, the grid has a grid size of 120 mm*120 mm, and has the effects of dispersing the blocky and bunched grain and removing the impurities in the grain.

[0029] A plurality of dust removal filter holes 241 are uniformly distributed on the peripheral surface of the outer bucket body 24, the dust removal filter holes 241 are located in the upper narrow area of the dust escape air channel and are respectively connected with the dust escape air channel and the dust removal channel 23, the dust removal port is also located in the upper part of the dust removal channel 23, and the dust removal filter holes 241 are arranged in a staggered manner, because the negative pressure adsorption force has a certain pressure drop in the dust removal channel 23, the particles with a certain weight will be settled in the dust removal channel 23, and the collection is facilitated.

[0030] In addition, in order to control the grain discharge flow and match it with the conveying speed of the receiving belt conveyor 4, the automatic discharge valve 25 is arranged on the outer discharge port at the lower end of the outer bucket body 24.

[0031] As a further technical scheme, in order to realize low-carbon operation of the discharge system, the photovoltaic panel 7 is arranged on the warehouse top plate 29 and is used for providing supplementary energy for the dust removal system 6, the electric dustproof curtain 28 and the automatic discharge valve 25.
