Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mining equipment, and more particularly to a quick-connect pipe winder for mining. Background Technology
[0002] In the mining process, the rational layout and recovery of underground pipelines are crucial to ensuring smooth production. With the continuous development of intelligent and automated mining, higher requirements are being placed on the efficiency, safety, and adaptability of underground equipment. Among these requirements, pipeline handling equipment needs to meet demands such as rapid winding, precise positioning, adaptability to complex underground environments, and reduction of manual labor intensity. These practical needs have driven the research and application of underground pipe winding technology.
[0003] The winding of underground pipelines is mostly done manually, with workers manually winding the pipeline one loop at a time onto a fixed support or roller. Rewinding also requires manual pulling out section by section. This method relies entirely on manpower, requiring operators to exert continuous force to ensure neat winding and constantly monitor the pipeline's direction to prevent deviation or stacking. For long or large-diameter pipelines, multiple workers are often needed to complete the operation. The entire process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to standardize.
[0004] Traditional manual winding methods have significant drawbacks: on the one hand, they are inefficient and may result in hands being pinched during the winding process, posing a safety hazard; on the other hand, the underground environment is narrow, humid, and dusty, further increasing the difficulty and safety risks of manual operation. In addition, manual operation may also cause the pipeline to become knotted, affecting the normal use of the pipeline. Utility Model Content

Annular limiting grooves at the ends of the central axis and drum shafts... This device can limit the end of the pipe to prevent it from slipping off the shaft during winding or unwinding. The rotating device is located on one side of the support device, and its circular panel is fitted onto the support device through the central shaft hole. The radially distributed reinforcing ribs enhance the structural strength of the panel and ensure stability during rotation. The unidirectional ratchet mechanism meshes with the end of the central shaft, restricting the winding device to rotate only clockwise to wind the pipe, avoiding reverse rotation caused by external force or the pipe's own weight during winding. The axially movable clutch control lever can switch the ratchet mechanism state, allowing the winding device to rotate in the opposite direction when the pipe needs to be released, facilitating smooth pipe pull-out. The quick-connect device is located on the side wall of the winding device end, enabling quick connection and disconnection between the pipe and the winding device, reducing the operation time for pipe loading and unloading.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] The winding of underground pipelines is mostly done manually, with workers manually winding the pipeline one loop at a time onto a fixed support or roller. Rewinding also requires manual pulling out section by section. This method relies entirely on manpower, requiring operators to exert continuous force to ensure neat winding and constantly monitor the pipeline's direction to prevent deviation or stacking. For long or large-diameter pipelines, multiple workers are often needed to complete the operation. The entire process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to standardize.
[0033] The following detailed description of the specific structure of the quick-connect pipe winder for mining provided in this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a quick-connect pipe winder for mining, including: a support device 1, which provides a stable installation reference for the entire pipe winder and ensures the overall stability of the device in complex underground environments; a winding device 2, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the support device 1, providing a motion basis for winding and unwinding the pipe; a rotating device 3, which is disposed on one side of the support device 1, and whose power output end is connected to the end of the winding device 2, driving the winding device 2 to rotate through power transmission, thereby realizing active winding of the pipe and reducing the labor intensity of manual direct rotation; and a quick-connect device 4, which is disposed on the side wall of the end of the winding device 2, realizing quick connection and disconnection between the pipe and the winding device 2, reducing the operation time for pipe loading and unloading.
[0035] The mining quick-connect pipe winder provided in this application provides a comprehensive solution for pipe handling adapted to complex underground environments through the organic coordination of various devices. Utilizing the power transmission of the rotating device 3 and the orderly winding design of the winding device 2, the operation time for pipe rewinding and winding is significantly shortened compared to traditional manual winding methods. Simultaneously, the quick-connect device 4 reduces the connection time for pipe loading and unloading, resulting in a significant improvement in overall work efficiency. By replacing manual contact with the winding process through a mechanical structure, safety hazards such as hand pinching that may occur in traditional operations are fundamentally avoided. Furthermore, the stable design of the supporting device 1 reduces the risk of the device tipping over or sliding in humid or dusty environments.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the support device 1 includes a horizontal base 11 and a bracket 12. The top of the bracket 12 is provided with a mounting seat 13. The winding device 2 is mounted on the top of the mounting seat 13. The horizontal base 11 can increase the contact area with the ground and improve the stability of the device placement. The bracket 12 provides a reasonable installation height for the winding device 2, and the mounting seat 13 provides a precise positioning reference for the rotation of the winding device 2, reducing shaking.
[0037] The support device 1, through the combined structural design of the horizontal base 11, bracket 12, and mounting base 13, forms a stable support system adapted to the complex downhole environment. The horizontal base 11 expands the contact area with the ground, fundamentally improving the stability of the device on damp, dusty, and potentially uneven downhole surfaces, reducing tilting caused by uneven ground. The bracket 12 provides a reasonable height for the winding device 2 that conforms to human operating habits, reducing the need for operators to bend over or tiptoe, indirectly improving operational convenience. The mounting base 13 provides precise positioning constraints for the rotation of the winding device 2, reducing additional resistance and errors caused by shaking during the winding process. The synergistic effect of these three components ensures that the support device 1 not only has basic load-bearing capabilities but also enhances its adaptability to special downhole ground environments through structural refinement. This ensures that the winding device 2 maintains a stable trajectory during rotation, laying a solid foundation for the orderly winding and precise positioning of subsequent pipelines, and guaranteeing the reliability and efficiency of the entire pipe winding machine during downhole operations.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the winding device 2 includes a central shaft 21 and a plurality of radially distributed rollers 22. The central shaft 21 serves as the rotation center to ensure the coaxiality of the winding device 2 as a whole. The radially distributed rollers 22 can form an annular winding space, enabling the pipeline to be wound in layers in an orderly manner, avoiding pipeline stacking and compression caused by single-axis winding.
[0039] The winding device 2, through its structural design of a central shaft 21 and several radially distributed reel shafts 22, constructs an efficient and orderly pipe winding spatial system. The central shaft 21, as the rotational core, ensures the coaxiality of the winding device 2 during overall rotation, preventing pipe winding offset due to eccentricity. The radially distributed reel shafts 22 form an annular winding area, allowing the pipes to be arranged in an orderly manner. This improved multi-axis design, with its neat winding state, facilitates the rapid release of subsequent pipes, reducing jamming and resistance during release. From the core winding stage, it enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of the pipe winder, better meeting the needs of efficient downhole pipe handling.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the roller shaft 22 is provided with a spiral guide groove 23. The spiral guide groove 23 can guide the pipeline to be evenly distributed along the axial direction during the winding process, avoid the pipeline from piling up in the same position, and prevent the pipeline from crossing or knotting during the winding process.
[0041] The spiral guide groove 23 on the surface of the drum shaft 22 serves as a specifically optimized guiding structure, playing a crucial guiding and constraining role during the pipe winding process. Its spiral trajectory precisely guides the pipe to distribute evenly along the axial direction of the drum shaft 22, fundamentally avoiding problems such as localized accumulation, overlapping, or knotting of the pipe during winding due to lack of guidance, ensuring the pipe maintains a consistently regular arrangement. The addition of the spiral guide groove 23 makes the winding device 2 more aligned with the needs of efficient downhole pipe handling. Optimization of the detailed structure enhances the operational smoothness and reliability of the entire pipe winder, indirectly ensuring stable output of operational efficiency.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating device 3 includes a circular panel 31 with a central shaft hole 32; the rotating device 3 is fitted onto the support device 1 through the shaft hole 32; reinforcing ribs 33 are radially distributed on the back of the circular panel 31; the circular panel 31 provides a mounting carrier for the various components of the rotating device 3, the shaft hole 32 ensures the coaxial assembly of the rotating device 3 and the support device 1, and the radial reinforcing ribs 33 can enhance the structural strength of the circular panel 31 and prevent panel deformation during manual rotation.
[0043] The rotating device 3, through the coordinated design of the circular panel 31, shaft hole 32, and radial reinforcing ribs 33, constructs a power transmission system that combines structural stability and transmission precision. The circular panel 31, as the core carrier, provides a precise installation and positioning reference for key components such as the ratchet mechanism and clutch control lever, ensuring the relative positional accuracy of each transmission component. The precise fit between the shaft hole 32 and the support device 1 ensures the coaxiality of the rotating device 3 and the winding device 2 from the assembly stage, reducing additional resistance and wear caused by eccentricity. The radial reinforcing ribs 33, by enhancing the rigidity of the panel, effectively resist the risk of deformation caused by torque during manual rotation, ensuring that the rotation operation remains smooth and stable.
[0044] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating device 3 further includes a one-way drive ratchet mechanism 34, which meshes with the end of the central shaft 21 and restricts the rotation direction to clockwise. The one-way drive ratchet mechanism 34 can ensure that the winding device 2 can only rotate in the clockwise direction to wind the pipeline, preventing reverse rotation caused by external force or the weight of the pipeline during the winding process, and avoiding loosening of the wound pipeline.
[0045] The unidirectional transmission design of the ratchet mechanism 34 provides the rotating device 3 with precise control over its movement direction. When the operator drives the circular panel 31 to rotate clockwise, the ratchet mechanism 34 reliably transmits power to the central shaft 21 through the engagement of the pawl and the ratchet, achieving orderly winding of the pipeline. When the operation stops or encounters a reverse torque generated by the pipeline's own weight, the ratchet mechanism 34 immediately locks, preventing the winding device 2 from rotating counterclockwise, ensuring that the wound pipeline remains tightly wound. This unidirectional limiting function eliminates the problem of loosening caused by pipeline rebound during the operation interval in traditional non-unidirectional constraint pipe winders, significantly reducing the workload of manual re-sorting. In the environment of limited downhole space, the stable winding state prevents the pipeline from becoming entangled with surrounding equipment or roadway structures after loosening, reducing operational safety risks. The unidirectional transmission characteristic allows the operator to focus on controlling the winding speed and uniformity without continuously applying braking force during the winding process, indirectly improving operational efficiency.
[0046] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the ratchet mechanism 34 includes an axially movable clutch control lever 35. By moving the clutch control lever 35, the ratchet mechanism 34 can be switched between clutch and engagement. When it is necessary to release the pipeline, it is switched to the disengaged state, and the winding device 2 can rotate in the opposite direction to facilitate the smooth pulling out of the pipeline and make the operation flexible.
[0047] The addition of the clutch control lever 35 upgrades the ratchet mechanism 34 from a simple one-way locking device to an intelligent transmission component with bidirectional adjustment capabilities. The clutch switching function, achieved through axial movement, cleverly resolves the directional contradiction during pipe winding and release. When winding the pipe, the clutch control lever 35 is in the engaged position, and the ratchet mechanism 34 strictly limits counterclockwise rotation to ensure the stability of the winding process. When releasing the pipe, the operator only needs to gently move the clutch control lever 35 to the disengaged position to release the one-way constraint, allowing the winding device 2 to freely reverse under the pipe tension, achieving rapid pipe release.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the ends of the central shaft 21 and the drum shaft 22 are provided with annular limiting grooves 211. The annular limiting grooves 211 can limit the ends of the pipes wound on the shaft body, preventing the pipes from slipping off the shaft ends during winding or unwinding, and ensuring that the pipes are always within a controllable winding range.
[0049] The annular limiting grooves 211 at the ends of the central shaft 21 and the drum shaft 22 provide reliable end protection for pipe winding from a spatial constraint perspective. Their annular groove structure forms a physical barrier to the pipe end wound on the shaft. When the pipe moves axially along the shaft during winding, the annular limiting groove 211 effectively limits its excessive displacement, preventing the pipe from slipping off the shaft end. When releasing the pipe, even if axial force is generated due to pulling, the annular limiting groove 211 still maintains constraint on the initial winding section of the pipe, ensuring that the pipe remains within the preset winding range.
[0050] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the support 12 is a height-adjustable telescopic rod structure, which can flexibly adjust the height of the winding device 2 according to the height of the downhole working space and the height requirements of the operator, adapting to the convenience of operation in different scenarios, and at the same time making it easier to shorten the length of the device during transportation or storage, saving space.
[0051] The support frame 12 adopts an adjustable telescopic rod structure, which allows for precise control of the height of the winding device 2 by flexibly changing its length. This optimizes the practical performance of the winding device from two dimensions: spatial adaptability and operational convenience. During underground operations, the winding device 2 can be adjusted to the most convenient operating height for exerting force, based on the limitations of roadway height, differences in ground flatness, and differences in operator height. This reduces labor fatigue caused by unnatural postures such as bending over and tiptoeing, and increases the duration of a single operation. During equipment transportation or storage, the telescopic rod can be retracted to its shortest state, significantly reducing the overall size of the device. This facilitates handling in narrow underground roadways or storage in limited storage spaces, reducing transportation and storage costs.
[0052] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the horizontal base 11 is provided with a detachable anti-slip pad 14. The anti-slip pad 14 can increase the friction between the horizontal base 11 and the wet and dusty ground underground, prevent the device from sliding due to force during operation, improve overall stability, and the detachable design facilitates the replacement of the anti-slip pad 14 after wear.
[0053] The removable anti-slip pad 14 at the bottom of the horizontal base 11 provides dual anti-slip protection through material properties and structural design, specifically addressing the slippage problem on damp and dusty underground surfaces. The textured surface of the anti-slip pad 14 in contact with the ground increases the coefficient of friction, effectively resisting the horizontal thrust generated during operation by the rotating device 3 and the pulling of pipelines, preventing overall displacement or tilting, and ensuring the stability of the device during winding operations. The removable design allows for quick replacement of the anti-slip pad 14 when its anti-slip performance deteriorates due to long-term wear, avoiding the impact of localized wear on the overall anti-slip effect and extending the effective service life of the anti-slip structure.
[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the quick-connect device 4 includes an L-shaped guide tube 41 and a quick-connect connector 42.
[0055] The L-shaped guide tube 41 is designed to facilitate the smooth entry of the pipeline into the winding device 2, reducing bending and friction of the pipeline during the winding process, thereby improving winding efficiency and pipeline lifespan. The quick-connect coupling 42 features a quick-plug design, allowing operators to easily connect or disconnect the pipeline without complicated operations, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0056] As described above, the working principle of the mine-use quick-winding pipe winder provided in this application in practical application scenarios is as follows: the support device 1 is stably placed through the horizontal base 11 and anti-slip pad 14; the bracket 12 and mounting base 13 provide precise rotational support for the winding device 2; the central shaft 21 of the winding device 2 rotates under the drive of the rotating device 3, driving the radially distributed drum shaft 22 to rotate synchronously; the pipe is wound in an orderly manner along the spiral guide groove 23 on the surface of the drum shaft 22; the annular limiting groove 211 prevents the pipe from slipping; the circular panel 31 and reinforcing ribs 33 of the rotating device 3 ensure transmission stability; the ratchet mechanism 34 restricts reverse rotation during winding; it can be switched to the release state through the clutch control lever, allowing the pipe to drive the winding device 2 to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of tension, so as to achieve smooth pulling out of the pipe; the height-adjustable bracket 12 and anti-slip pad 14 adjust the device state according to environmental requirements to ensure the convenience and safety of overall operation. Through the organic cooperation of various components, the rapid winding, precise positioning and safe operation of mine pipes in the complex underground environment are finally achieved.
