Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage silo technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent belt-driven storage silo. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material storage and transportation, traditional methods involve manual frequency conversion speed regulation and storage using belt conveyor troughs and belts filled with material. These methods face numerous challenges during storage and transportation. For example, material storage is difficult, making it hard to flexibly adjust storage methods according to actual material conditions; a large number of personnel are required during operations, increasing labor costs; and the control of material transportation is not precise enough, hindering automation and intelligent management, resulting in low equipment operating efficiency and high maintenance costs.

[0003] Specifically, traditional storage silos have limited means of material monitoring, making it impossible to accurately and in real-time track material height and flow. This results in untimely and inaccurate control of belt conveyor start-stop, easily leading to energy waste or material accumulation. Furthermore, during belt conveyor operation, issues such as belt tension and misalignment are difficult to adjust automatically, requiring frequent manual intervention, which not only increases labor intensity but also affects the stable operation of the equipment. In addition, the inability to accurately weigh transported materials hinders production management and cost accounting.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional storage silos cannot store materials of varying sizes. Due to limitations in the performance and materials of the conveyor belts, materials need to be crushed and screened before being fed into the storage silos, leading to increased energy consumption and wear. During the screening process, fine particles easily penetrate the screen, requiring repeated processing, while coarse particles need to be repeatedly crushed, increasing equipment energy consumption and wear. Process redundancy: The multi-stage process of screening, crushing, and conveying complicates the system, occupies more space, and increases maintenance costs. Particle size fluctuation risk: Even after screening, materials may still experience particle size fluctuations due to uneven crushing or adhesion, making it impossible to completely eliminate the risk of outlet blockage.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes an intelligent belt-type storage silo that integrates crushing and anti-clogging functions. Utility Model Content

[0054] Please see Figure 1-8 Structural diagram: This utility model intelligent belt-type storage silo includes an AI intelligent system and the following components:

[0055] V-shaped storage silo 1: Composed of multiple individual silos installed horizontally, facilitating installation and reducing overall height. The number of silos is determined by site size to enhance versatility. Installation location and length can be designed according to actual site conditions; it can be laid horizontally, on slopes, or in arches. After design, it is manufactured in sections, transported to the site for installation, and can be dismantled in sections after use for easy recycling and reuse, reducing investment and maintenance costs. Each silo is designed as a trapezoidal shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, reducing the impact of materials on the silo opening during unloading.

[0056] Conveyor belt 32: High-strength rubber or ceramic-coated conveyor belts are used to improve the impact resistance of coarse particles and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0057] A V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 and an inverted V-shaped guide plate 38 are installed at the bottom discharge port of the V-shaped storage silo 1. The V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 includes a plate body 1801 and a telescopic rod 1806. Two sets of crushing blades 1802 are installed on the plate body 1801. The power input end of the crushing blades 1802 passes through the V-shaped storage silo 1 and is connected to the crushing blades 1802 through a through slot for connecting the power input end of the crushing blades 1802 to the crushing blades 1802. The power source can generate relative to the V-shaped storage silo 1. The displacement is relative to the crusher assembly 1802 and is in a stationary state; the through slot is arranged in an arc shape because one end of the plate 1801 is hinged and will be displaced when impacted due to the spring 1810 (external arc arrangement); a buffer rod 1805 is hinged to one side of the bottom of the plate 1801; the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1806 is fixed with an outer sleeve 1807 with a cover plate 1808; a pressure plate 1809 is fixed to one end of the buffer rod 1805 located inside the outer sleeve 1807; and a spring 1810 is provided in the outer sleeve 1807.

[0058] The plate 1801 is hinged to the bottom inner wall of the V-shaped storage silo 1. The telescopic rod 1806 passes through the bottom wall of the V-shaped storage silo 1 and is hinged to the V-shaped storage silo 1. An arc-shaped cover 1803 that cooperates with the crushing knife assembly 1802 is installed on one side of the bottom of the plate 1801. A discharge slot 1804 is opened on the arc-shaped cover 1803. The buffer rod 1805 is hinged between the two arc-shaped covers 1803 on one side of the bottom of the plate 1801. The outer tube 1807 is installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1806 inside the V-shaped storage hopper 1. The cover plate 1808 is fixed to the end of the outer tube 1807 away from the telescopic rod 1806 by bolts. The pressure plate 1809 is fixed to the end of the buffer rod 1805 that passes through the cover plate 1808 and extends into the inner cavity of the outer tube 1807. The pressure plate 1809 cooperates with the inner cavity of the outer tube 1807. The two ends of the spring 1810 are respectively pressed against the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer tube 1807 and the pressure plate 1809.

[0059] V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18: Installed at the bottom of the V-shaped storage silo 1, its structure is a V-shaped plate with a certain angle. When the material falls, the V-shaped structure can disperse the impact force of the material, thereby greatly reducing the pressure of the material on the conveyor belt 32. Inverted V-shaped guide plate 38 is installed inside the V-shaped storage silo 1 to divert the material inside the V-shaped storage silo 1. It cooperates with the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 so that the diverted material can move towards the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18, so that large pieces of coal can be initially crushed and the coal can be prevented from being blocked at the bottom outlet of the V-shaped storage silo 1. At the same time, through the combined use of plate 1801, buffer rod 1805, outer sleeve 1807, pressure plate 1809 and spring 1810, plate 1801 will be displaced when impacted, so that the discharge gap between the inverted V-shaped guide plate 38 and the V-shaped pressure reducing plate 18 will change, which can effectively prevent blockage at the discharge outlet.

[0060] Head roller 2: Built into the right side of the V-shaped storage bin 1, it is mounted on the bin body via bearings and other components, providing power output to the conveyor belt 32. Tail roller 3: Built into the bottom left side of the V-shaped storage bin 1, it is mounted on the bin body via bearings. The tail roller 3 has a screw-driven tensioning structure, which includes a movable frame slidably connected to the V-shaped storage bin 1. A tensioning roller, which is driven by the conveyor belt 32, is rotatably mounted on the movable frame via bearings. A screw, which is threadedly connected to the movable frame, is rotatably mounted on the V-shaped storage bin 1 via bearings. During conveying, the position of the movable frame can be adjusted by rotating the screw, thereby adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 32 and preventing belt deviation.

[0061] Redirecting roller 15: The forward-protruding head redirecting roller 15 is located above the drive roller, and its height from the ground can be adjusted within the range of 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters, making it easier to install the transfer belt conveyor below.

[0062] First serpentine spring coupling 12, second serpentine spring coupling 37, or gear coupling: used to connect drive components and rollers, etc., to transmit torque. For example, the output shaft end of the drive reducer 14 is bolted to one end of the drive roller 7 via the first serpentine spring coupling 12. Serpentine spring couplings are more suitable for high torque drives and can ensure normal operation of the V-shaped storage silo 1 when storing a large amount of material.

[0063] Y-type anti-overflow skirt 16: Installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 32, it effectively prevents secondary material leakage. Moving trolley 17: Can move on a specific track to assist in belt installation, adjustment, and other operations. AI camera 19: Monitors the amount of material on the conveyor belt 32 in real time, transmitting image information to the AI ​​intelligent system for automatic control of the belt conveyor's start and stop. Level gauge 20: Monitors the material height in real time, transmitting height information to the AI ​​intelligent system for accurate automatic start and stop of the belt conveyor.

[0064] Tail-end buffer idler group 21: Installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 32 at the tail end, the idler surface has a certain degree of elasticity, which can reduce the damage of materials to the belt. The buffer idler is equipped with a spring, the bottom end of which is pressed against the rotating seat. When materials impact, the spring can play a buffering role.

[0065] Drive shaft disc brake 22: Mounted on the drive shaft, used to brake the drive shaft when needed. Electro-hydraulic drum brake 23: Mounted on related transmission components, achieving braking function through an electro-hydraulic system. Frequency converter 24: Works with the PLC control system to track the amount of material in real time, automatically adjust the belt speed, and achieve automatic speed regulation. Higher material levels result in higher speed, lower material levels in lower speeds or a complete stop. The machine automatically starts or stops when the material level reaches a predetermined range.

[0066] PID Control Box 25: Used to implement PID control function, precisely controlling the operation of the belt conveyor according to the set parameters. V-Type Idler Roller 26: Installed approximately every 3 meters at the bottom of the conveyor belt 32; its V-shaped structure effectively prevents belt misalignment. Head Roller Spiral Tensioning Self-Locking Device 27: Used to tension the conveyor belt 32 at the head roller 2 and achieve a self-locking function, ensuring belt tension.

[0067] Bottom idler roller mechanical adjustment device 28: This device allows for mechanical adjustment of the bottom idlers, enabling all idlers to be adjusted forward or backward by 20mm within a spacing of 300mm to prevent belt misalignment. Arch bridge height-adjustable support legs 35: These include an arch bridge device 29 and a spiral adjustment self-locking device 36. They allow for parallel, climbing, descending, and arch bridge installations, allowing vehicles to pass underneath. The spiral adjustment self-locking device 36 is used for spiral adjustment and self-locking of related components.

[0068] Weighing system 31: Multiple sets or one set can be installed. Each set uses one frame with four parallel idlers on the frame and four bow-shaped load cells (made according to customer requirements) running through the bottom beam. The weighing system 31 is located at the tail and middle section of the silo, arranged side-by-side at the bottom of the conveyor idlers 4, and supported by support columns. When the load-bearing idlers are compressed by the weight of the material on the conveyor belt 32, they move downwards along the support columns, transferring the weight of the material to the weighing system 31, thus weighing the material on the conveyor belt 32. This allows the operator to monitor the weight of the transported material in real time and achieve real-time control of coal flow rate. The weighing system 31 may include explosion-proof load cells for mining.

[0069] Conveyor belt 32: Installed between the head roller 2 and the tail roller 3 for conveying materials. Conveyor idler 4: Installed between the head roller 2 and the tail roller 3 to support the conveyor belt 32. Tracking idler 6: Installed in a V-shape at the bottom of the conveyor belt 32. Through the V-shaped structure, under the weight of the conveyor belt 32 itself, it automatically corrects itself towards the V-shaped center of gravity, reducing the chance of the conveyor belt running off-center.

[0070] Anti-deviation vertical rollers 5: Installed on both sides of the guiding rollers 6, they limit the movement of the conveyor belt 32 from both sides, maintaining the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 32. Drive rollers 7: Installed in the middle of the conveyor belt 32, they are driven to rotate by the drive system, providing power to the conveyor belt 32.

[0071] The hydraulic tensioning device 8 includes a tensioning winch 11, a hydraulic tensioning trolley 33, a tensioning cylinder 10, and a hydraulic pump station 9. The tensioning cylinder 10 is mounted on a fixed base via a cylinder support. A rope holder for fixing the free end of the wire rope is mounted on the fixed base. A pulley block that cooperates with the wire rope is mounted on the hydraulic tensioning trolley 33. The tensioning winch 11, the hydraulic tensioning trolley 33, and the tensioning cylinder 10 are connected by a wire rope drive. A redirecting roller 15 that cooperates with the conveyor belt 32 is mounted on the hydraulic tensioning trolley 33. A pulley is mounted on the end of the tensioning cylinder 10 facing the hydraulic tensioning trolley 33. The hydraulic tensioning device 8 can automatically adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 32 at any time without manual adjustment. Furthermore, the belt storage trolley 17 in this application stores a certain length of the conveyor belt 32 during use. The length of the belt conveyor can be increased or decreased at any time to adjust the storage capacity of the silo, improving the applicability of the storage silo device.

[0072] The drive system includes a drive motor 13 and a drive reducer 14. The drive motor 13 is installed on one side of the V-shaped storage hopper 1, and its output shaft is connected to the input shaft of the drive reducer 14. The output shaft of the drive reducer 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive roller 7 through a first serpentine spring coupling 12. The output power of the drive motor 13 can be adjusted in real time according to the weight of the material to avoid jamming or shutdown, ensuring smooth material conveying on the conveyor belt 32.

[0073] The AI ​​intelligent system of this smart belt conveyor storage silo includes the following modules:

[0074] AI image recognition module: used to monitor the material flow on conveyor belt 32 in real time, including material type, flow rate and accumulation status.

[0075] Intelligent fault early warning module: By analyzing equipment operating status data (such as motor current, belt tension, weighing system data, etc.), it predicts and issues fault warnings in advance.

[0076] Automatic start / stop control module: Based on the material flow rate and material inventory in the warehouse identified by the AI ​​image recognition module, and combined with the preset production plan, it intelligently decides whether to start or stop the conveyor belt 32.

[0077] Remote monitoring and data analysis platform: Supports remote monitoring of equipment operation status via mobile APP or web interface, real-time viewing of production data, and historical data analysis to optimize production efficiency and equipment maintenance strategies. It also provides data visualization functions, intuitively displaying equipment operation status, material handling efficiency, and energy consumption in the form of charts, graphs, etc., facilitating rapid decision-making and continuous optimization by management personnel.

[0078] Unmanned automatic scheduling system: Based on the actual site conditions and production plan, it automatically adjusts parameters such as conveying speed and tension to achieve fully automated and unmanned production operations.

[0079] Adaptive learning module: This module can continuously optimize the intelligent decision-making algorithm based on the equipment's historical operating data and human intervention records, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of system control.

[0080] The working principle of the intelligent belt conveyor storage silo is as follows:

[0081] Material falls into the V-shaped storage bin 1 at the tail end of the machine. The weighing system 31 below the conveyor belt 32 transmits signals, causing the conveyor belt 32 to move forward. The conveyor belt 32 only moves forward when it receives a certain weight, reducing the need for personnel to monitor the belt. Y-shaped anti-overflow skirts 16 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 32 to effectively prevent secondary leakage of material. The drive system is equipped with a first serpentine spring coupling 12, which is more suitable for high torque drive and can ensure that the V-shaped storage bin 1 can store a large amount of material. The belt conveyor is equipped with a frequency converter 24 and a PLC-controlled PID system to automatically adjust the belt speed in real time based on the amount of material. The tail roller 3 is equipped with a screw-type spiral tensioning structure to adjust belt deviation, and the tension of the conveyor belt 32 is automatically adjusted at any time by a hydraulic tensioning device 8. Through the coordinated work of various modules of the AI ​​intelligent system, intelligent start-up and shutdown, and unattended operation are achieved, reducing investment and maintenance costs and ensuring stable equipment operation.
