[0040] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides an easy-to-open and close plate-type coal gate, comprising a gate body 1, a gate box 3, a sealing gate 4, and a drive assembly. One side of the gate body 1 is connected to the gate box 3, and the inner cavity of the gate body 1 communicates with the inner cavity of the gate box 3. The inner cavity of the gate body 1 and the inner cavity of the gate box 3 allow the sealing gate 4 to reciprocate within the gate body 1 and the gate box 3. Rollers 6 are rotatably connected to both inner walls of the gate body 1 and the gate box 3, and the sealing gate 4 is mounted on the rollers 6 and slidably connected to the rollers 6. A rotating roller 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the gate box 3 near the end of the gate body 1. Gears 9 are provided at both ends of the rotating roller 8, and toothed plates 7 are provided on opposite sides of the sealing gate 4. The gears 9 mesh with the toothed plates 7. The drive assembly is located on the outer wall of the gate box 3, and the drive assembly drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate. When the coal gate is in the closed state, the sealing gate 4 is in contact with the circumferential inner wall of the gate body 1.
[0042] One feasible implementation is as follows: A gate box 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the gate body 1. A sealing gate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the gate box 3. Rollers 6 are rotatably connected to the front and rear opposite sides of the inner wall of the gate body 1 and the gate box 3. Multiple rollers 6 are slidably connected to the sealing gate 4. Tooth plates 7 are fixedly connected to the left and right opposite sides of the upper surface of the sealing gate 4, forming two tooth plates 7, a left tooth plate and a right tooth plate. A rotating roller 8 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the gate box 3. Gears 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the rotating roller 8, forming two gears 9, a left gear and a right gear. The two gears 9 are respectively meshed with the corresponding tooth plates 7. The left gear meshes with the left tooth plate, and the right gear meshes with the right tooth plate. A drive assembly is provided on the front side of the outer wall of the gate box 3. The drive assembly drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate, and the rotating roller 8 in turn drives the left gear and the right gear to rotate. The left tooth plate and the right tooth plate rotate with the left gear and the right gear respectively. Through this meshing transmission, the tooth plate 7 and the sealing gate 4 connected to it are driven to move to the left. When the sealing gate 4 moves to the left, it slides with the roller 6, which further ensures the smooth sliding of the sealing gate 4 and ensures that the sealing gate 4 will not jam during the movement. This achieves the smooth closing of the sealing gate 4, effectively avoids the problem of opening and closing difficulties caused by ash accumulation, and improves the working efficiency and stability of the coal gate.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the inner wall of the gate body 1 is provided with arc-shaped grooves 5. When the coal gate is closed, the sealing gate plate 4 fits into the arc-shaped grooves 5. The contact points between the sealing gate plate 4 and the arc-shaped grooves 5 are all rounded, and the distances from the arc-shaped grooves 5 to both ends of the gate body 1 are equal. Alternatively, the left end of the sealing gate plate 4 can be rounded, and the inner wall of the gate body 1 is provided with arc-shaped grooves 5. The inner wall of the arc-shaped grooves 5 is rounded, and the left end of the sealing gate plate 4 fits into the arc-shaped grooves 5. The smooth fit between the arc-shaped grooves 5 inside the gate body 1 and the rounded left end of the sealing gate plate 4 eliminates dead corners for ash accumulation, allowing wet coal blocks to fall smoothly into the coal mill and ensuring smooth coal conveying. The arc groove 5 is designed to be equidistant from both ends of the gate body 1, and the arc groove 5 is set in the middle position inside the gate body 1; then the axis of the sealing gate plate 4 is set to coincide with the axis of the gate body 1 and the axis of the gate box 3. The sealing gate plate 4 is set in the middle part of the inner cavity of the gate body 1 and the inner cavity of the gate box 3, which is conducive to the sealing cooperation between the sealing gate plate 4 and the arc groove 5.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly includes a motor 14, a first bevel gear 15, a second bevel gear 16, and a rotating rod 12. The motor 14 drives the first bevel gear 15 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 15 meshes with the second bevel gear 16. The second bevel gear 16 is connected to the rotating rod 12, and the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating roller 8 via a connecting shaft 11. The connecting shaft 11 is connected to the rotating roller 8 via a bearing 10. The connecting shaft 11 is connected to the outer ring of the bearing 11, and the rotating roller 8 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 11. The output end of the motor 14 drives the first bevel gear 15 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16 are meshed together, the rotation of the first bevel gear 15 drives the second bevel gear 16 and the rotating rod 12 connected to it to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating rod 12 then drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate via the connecting shaft 11. The bearing 10 makes the rotation of the rotating roller 8 smoother and effectively reduces friction.
[0045] The motor 14 is mounted on the outer wall of the gate box 3 via the mounting base 13, which facilitates the stable fixation of the motor 14 on the outer wall of the gate box 3 and leaves space for the motor 14 to connect with other structures. The drive assembly also includes a rotating handle 2, which is rotatably connected to the first bevel gear 15. When the motor 14 is not started, the rotating handle 2 can be manually rotated, which drives the first bevel gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating roller 8 to rotate, realizing the operation of the coal gate without power.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, the two ends of the gate body 1 are respectively connected to a coal inlet pipe 17 and a coal outlet pipe 18. The coal inlet pipe 17 is connected to the coal outlet pipe 18 through the inner cavity of the gate body 1. The coal inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to a conveying pipe 23. The top of the gate body 1 is fixedly connected to the coal inlet pipe 17, and the bottom of the gate body 1 is fixedly connected to the coal outlet pipe 18. The top of the coal inlet pipe 17 is connected to the conveying pipe 23. The upper and lower ends of the gate body 1 are connected to the coal inlet pipe 17 and the coal outlet pipe 18 respectively, forming a coal conveying channel. The coal to be conveyed is sent into the coal inlet pipe 17 through the conveying pipe 23.
[0047] When installing the coal gate, it can be fixed to other structures by mounting plate 21 at the end of the gate box 3 away from the gate body 1, or at the right end of the gate box 3, and can be fixed by bolts 22.
[0048] In use, the pipes at both ends of the gate body 1 are first connected to the coal inlet connection pipe 17 and the coal outlet connection pipe 18 respectively to form a coal conveying channel. When it is necessary to convey coal, the sealing gate 4 is in the open state. At this time, since the contact points between the arc groove 5 and the sealing gate 4 are all designed with rounded edges, this structure effectively solves the problem of multiple corners and serious dust accumulation after long-term use of the rectangular structure of the reciprocating coal gate in the existing technology. This rounded design eliminates dead corners that are easy to accumulate dust, ensuring that wet coal blocks can fall smoothly into the coal mill in a parabolic shape without dead corners. During the conveying of coal, the coal will not be blocked in the arc groove 5, ensuring the smoothness of coal conveying. When the sealing gate 4 needs to be closed, the drive assembly starts working. First, the motor 14 is started. The output end of the motor 14 drives the first bevel gear 15 to rotate. The first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16 are meshed together. When the first bevel gear 15 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 16 and the rotating rod 12 connected to it to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating rod 12 then drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate through the connecting shaft 11. The bearing 10 makes the rotating roller 8 rotate more smoothly and effectively reduces friction. During the rotation of the rotating roller 8, the two bearings at both ends of the rotating roller 8... Gear 9 rotates accordingly, meshing with the toothed plates 7 on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the sealing gate 4. Through this meshing transmission, the toothed plates 7 and the sealing gate 4 connected to them move to the left. When the sealing gate 4 moves to the left, it slides with the rollers 6 on the inner wall of the gate body 1 and the gate box 3, further ensuring the smooth sliding of the sealing gate 4 and ensuring that there will be no jamming during the movement. This achieves the smooth closing of the sealing gate 4, effectively avoiding the problem of opening and closing difficulties caused by ash accumulation, and improving the working efficiency and stability of the coal gate.
