[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides an embodiment: a bottom-discharge mine car, including a car body 1 and a frame 2. The car body 1 and the frame 2 are connected by a hinge. The hinge is located on the rear side of the frame 2. Both sides of the frame 2 are provided with connecting devices. The connecting devices are composed of a front bumper 3 and a rear bumper 4. The front bumper 3 and the rear bumper 4 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the frame 2. The front bumper 3 is connected to the frame 2 through a buffer 5. The bottom sides of the frame 2 are rotatably provided with axles 13. The axles 13 are provided with support plates 12. The support plates 12 are fixedly connected to the frame 2.
[0026] A stiffener 16 is provided between the front bumper 3 and the frame 2, forming a cavity. The buffer 5 includes a pull rod 6 set in the cavity. The left end of the pull rod 6 has a larger cross-section than the right end. The right end of the pull rod 6 is fitted with a buffer rubber block 14 and a buffer rubber block pressure plate 17 in sequence and connected to a slotted nut 15. The right side of the stiffener 16 wraps around the buffer rubber block pressure plate 17. A buffer spring 18 is provided on the right side of the pull rod 6. The pull rod 6 is slidably connected to the front bumper 3.
[0027] The main function of the buffer device is to reduce the traction, collision impact and vibration of the mine car. It is equipped with a connecting pin through the coal mine safety sign and a single-ring chain to achieve a safe connection between the mine car and personnel, thus protecting the mine car and personnel.
[0028] The buffer rubber block 14 consists of three 34mm thick rubber blocks with a strength limit of not less than 280kg / cm2 and a Shore hardness of 58-65. It plays a crucial role in buffering, preventing collisions, and isolating the vehicles in the buffer. When mine cars collide, the buffer rubber not only acts as a buffer but also as an isolator, thus providing good collision protection. It also features a simple structure, convenient installation and use, and low cost.
[0029] The front bumper 3 and the rear bumper 4 are welded to both ends of the car body, forming an integral whole with the car body. This effectively strengthens the car body, improves its impact resistance, and protects the internal structures such as the buffer head and buffer rubber blocks, ensuring the stability and durability of the buffer device.
[0030] The working principle of a buffer can be simply summarized as three steps: “absorption-dispersion-release”.
[0031] 1. Absorption: When an external impact force is applied to the buffer device, the tie rod (buffer head) and the buffer rubber first come into contact and absorb part of the impact force. The material can deform under stress, thereby slowing down the impact velocity.
[0032] 2. Dispersion: Subsequently, the cushioning rubber begins to function, further dispersing the remaining impact force and converting some of its energy into stored elastic potential energy. This step effectively reduces the impact force transmitted to subsequent equipment.
[0033] 3. Release: Over time, the cushioning rubber gradually releases the stored elastic potential energy, allowing the cushioning device to return to its original state and prepare for the next impact.
[0034] Buffer devices play a crucial role in the use of mining cars through this working principle. They effectively reduce the impact and vibration generated during the operation of the mining cars, thereby extending the service life of the mining cars and improving the safety of use.
[0035] Furthermore, the support plate 12 includes two inclined side plates forming an inverted V-shape, and the axle 13 is fitted with an axle sleeve, which is connected to the two side plates by a support spring 11.
[0036] The inclined side plate, together with the support spring 11, can achieve multi-directional cushioning of the wheel axle 13.
[0037] The rear bumper 4 is also connected to a pull rod 6, and the pull rods 6 on both sides are connected to the single-ring chain 8 through pins 7.
[0038] Tie rod 6 is made of 45# steel and heat treated. It is installed at both ends of the mine car body and serves as a connecting beam for the mine car. It is equipped with connecting pins that pass through the coal mine safety signs and a single-ring chain to connect the mine cars. When the mine car collides, it is used to absorb the impact and prevent direct impact on the car body or chassis. It can protect the car body, chassis, wheel axles and other components.
[0039] Furthermore, an unloading wheel 9 is provided at the bottom center of the frame 2, and a tray 10 is provided on the unloading wheel 9 and rotatedly connected thereto. A channel is opened at the center of the frame 2, and the tray 10 passes through the channel and connects to the bottom of the carriage 1.
[0040] When a mine car enters the unloading station, the unloading wheel will contact the fixed track (or guide curved track) of the unloading station, becoming the fulcrum for the mine car to rotate around it, allowing the car body to tilt, thereby completing the unloading.
[0041] The hinge between the carriage 1 and the frame 2 is equipped with a pin, a hexagonal bolt, a spring washer, and a shaft end retaining ring; the support plate 10 and the support seat plate 12 are connected to the frame 2 by hexagonal bolts and spring washers; the front bumper 3 and the rear bumper 4 are connected to the frame by bolts.
[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The mine cars are connected to each other via tie rods, matching connecting pins, and single-ring chains. The tie rods withstand collision impacts to protect the car body, frame, and other components. The front and rear bumpers at both ends of the car body form an integral part with the car body, enhancing its strength and impact resistance, while also protecting internal buffer rubber blocks and other structures. When mine cars collide, the buffer rubber blocks play a crucial role. When the mine car enters the unloading station, the unloading wheels contact the fixed rails or guide curved rails, acting as fulcrums to tilt the car body and complete the unloading operation.
[0043] 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 the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
