Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining truck equipment technology, specifically to a mining truck anti-running device. Background Technology
[0002] When mine cars travel through underground tunnels, the connecting pins are prone to detachment due to severe bumps, vibrations, or long-term wear of the connecting pins. In existing technology, the traction connection between mine cars is typically achieved through a mechanical structure of a stop-and-lock ring, a connecting pin, and a chain: the stop-and-lock ring is welded to both ends of the mine car, and the upper part is directly welded to fix the lock ring. The connecting pin passes vertically through the center hole of the lock ring and engages with the traction chain to transmit traction force. In this structure, the connecting pin usually has a protruding positioning structure. After insertion, it needs to be rotated at a certain angle to engage with the groove of the lock ring, forming a mechanical lock. The engagement between the lock ring and the protruding positioning part prevents the connecting pin from popping out due to bumps or tension.
[0003] In actual operation, the clearance fit design between the connecting pin and the locking ring hole inherently allows for initial assembly clearance, enabling slight movement of the pin. Each slight movement continuously erodes the surface integrity of the material. Simultaneously, multiple factors dynamically combine, such as the traction force deflection caused by changes in the roadway slope, the inertial impact of heavy-load mine cars starting and stopping, and instantaneous vibrations at the track joints. The connecting pin repeatedly impacts the locking ring hole wall, accelerating wear and deformation of both, further weakening the locking ring's constraint on the connecting pin. When the locking ring and connecting pin are damaged under impact or the clearance between them becomes too large, the axial displacement of the connecting pin will exceed the locking ring's constraint limit, ultimately causing the pin to completely detach. When the connecting pin detaches, the traction in the mine workshop is disconnected, leading to a "runaway car" accident. The out-of-control mine car plunges at high speed under gravity, with its impact force and instantaneous acceleration far exceeding the interception speed capability of various car-stopping devices, causing multiple hazards including equipment damage, personnel injuries, and transportation disruptions.
[0004] The specific hazards of the accident are as follows: In terms of personnel casualties, runaway accidents are one of the most dangerous types of accidents in the mine hoisting and transportation system, which may result in miners being injured or killed; equipment damage involves serious damage to the mine car body, connecting devices, tracks and roadway support facilities; economic losses include not only the cost of equipment replacement, but also the long-term shutdown for maintenance caused by the accident; environmental damage is manifested in the damage to infrastructure such as roadway structure, track lines, ventilation ducts, and cables. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a mine car anti-running device. The device has a simple structure and can be detachably installed on the bumper seat of the mine car. It breaks through the limitations of traditional single protection, provides a second line of defense for the safe transportation of mine cars, and realizes the proactive prevention and control of accident risks.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0007] This utility model provides a mine car anti-runaway device, including an anti-runaway mechanism installed on the mine car bumper seat. Two sets of the anti-runaway mechanism are provided, one set installed on the bumper seat at the rear end of the front mine car and the other set installed on the bumper seat at the front end of the rear mine car. Each anti-runaway mechanism includes a mounting frame fixedly connected to the bumper seat. An upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate are provided on the mounting frame. A traction bolt connects the upper and lower connecting plates. The head of the traction bolt is located above the upper connecting plate, and the shank of the traction bolt extends downward through the lower connecting plate. A traction nut is connected to the portion of the traction bolt extending through the lower connecting plate. The traction bolt on the front mine car and the traction bolt on the rear car are connected via a traction connector.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mounting bracket includes an upper fixing bracket and a lower fixing plate. The upper fixing bracket is located above the corresponding bumper seat, and the lower fixing plate is located below the corresponding bumper seat. The upper fixing bracket includes a horizontal plate, and vertical plates are connected to both the left and right sides of the horizontal plate. A horizontal extension plate is connected to the lower end of the vertical plate outward. The horizontal extension plate and the lower fixing plate are connected by fixing bolts and fixing nuts.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, a locking ring is provided on the bumper seat, and the locking ring is connected to a connecting pin. The mine cars can be connected by a chain through the connecting pin. The horizontal plate is provided with a through hole through which the locking ring can pass upward.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate are fixedly disposed between the two vertical plates, and the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate are located above the horizontal plate.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, two traction bolts are provided, and traction connectors are sleeved on both traction bolts.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the traction connector is a steel wire rope, and the steel wire rope is provided with a locking buckle.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the horizontal extension plate on each side is connected to the lower fixed plate by at least three fixing bolts.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, a reinforcing rib is provided between the vertical plate and the corresponding horizontal extension plate.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, an auxiliary ring is connected to the head of the traction bolt.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] In this invention, in addition to the connecting pin bearing the conventional traction load, this device is added as an independent secondary protection device, which is on standby in real time during mine car transportation. When the connecting pin comes off due to severe vibration or wear, the anti-running mechanism can independently bear the dynamic load of the mine car, reducing the connecting pin detachment accident from a high-probability fatal risk to a low-probability controllable event. This achieves a technological leap from "passive emergency response" to "active immunity," eliminating the triggering conditions for "runaway cars" accidents from the design level and ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the traction function.
[0018] Through the synergistic effect of dual-level protection, the probability of accidents caused by the detachment of connecting pins is significantly reduced, directly curbing the risk of mine car loss of control, reducing the probability of casualties, avoiding damage to the mine car body, track system and roadway support structure that may be caused by mine car loss of control, as well as the associated damage to ancillary facilities such as transport cables and ventilation ducts, providing higher safety assurance for the underground working environment, extending the equipment maintenance cycle, reducing unplanned downtime for maintenance, significantly reducing accident handling costs, shortening the time cost of post-disaster reconstruction, and ensuring the efficiency of ore transportation and the continuity of the system.
[0019] The device has a simple overall structure, which significantly reduces the difficulty of production and processing and the cost of materials. The detachable structure design makes the installation and maintenance process efficient and convenient. The lightweight and compact structure design improves the portability and transportation convenience, and the universal structure makes it compatible with various mine cars with bumper seats.
