[0002] Thermal power plants require a continuous supply of fuel during operation, necessitating operators to use appropriate equipment to move and accumulate the fuel in fixed locations for easy access. For example, patent document CN219949843U discloses a method of feeding fuel into a storage cylinder, moving the cylinder to the unloading position by pushing a handle, starting a motor, pulling out a sealing plate, and rotating a shaft and a spiral feeding plate to continuously transport fuel falling from the discharge pipe, flexible connecting pipe, and feed pipe to the right, ultimately unloading it through the discharge port of a transfer cylinder. However, while the above equipment can adjust the fuel conveying height, the fuel placement position is fixed and occupies a small area, resulting in a high fuel accumulation height during continuous fuel conveying, which is prone to collapse and reduces the safety of operators around the fuel.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automated transmission device, which is used for fuel transmission in thermal power plants. It includes a movable auger conveyor 2, a feeding pipe 10, and a reciprocating drive mechanism. A support plate 5 is fixed on the auger conveyor 2, and a horizontal plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 5 via a rotating rod 6. The feeding pipe 10 is mounted on the horizontal plate 7, and the feeding pipe 10 is connected to the discharge port of the auger conveyor 2 via a flexible hose. The output end of the reciprocating drive mechanism is connected to the rotating rod 6, and the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the horizontal plate 7, causing the feeding pipe 10 to swing back and forth around the rotating rod 6.

[0031] In use, the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, thereby rotating the horizontal plate 7 connected to the rotating rod 6. Finally, the discharge pipe 10 swings back and forth around the rotating rod 6, realizing the swinging and scattering action in actual work, which greatly increases the discharge range and avoids the concentrated accumulation of fuel.

[0032] In some embodiments, the automated transmission device is designed as follows: the automated transmission device includes a mobile base 1 and a auger conveyor 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the mobile base 1. The feed end of the auger conveyor 2 is connected to a discharge hopper 3. The auger conveyor 2 is used to stably transmit fuel. The auger conveyor 2 is a conventional existing device, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The discharge end of the auger conveyor 2 is connected to a discharge pipe 4. A support plate 5 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the auger conveyor 2. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the support plate 5. A horizontal plate 7 is fixedly sleeved on the wall of the rotating rod 6. A support frame 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 7. In this embodiment, the support frame 8 is a U-shaped support frame. A horizontal bar 9 is rotatably installed on the upper part of both sides of the inner wall of the support frame 8. The two horizontal bars 9 are fixed to the feed pipe 10. A guide pipe 11 is connected between the discharge pipe 4 and the feed pipe 10. Usually, the guide pipe 11 is a cost-effective telescopic corrugated pipe. After the fuel is transported to the storage tank 4 through the auger conveyor 2, it can pass downward through the guide block 11 and the feed pipe 10 to facilitate fuel accumulation. The auger conveyor 2 is arranged at an angle, and the discharge end of the auger conveyor 2 is higher than the feed end of the auger conveyor. This can increase the fuel accumulation height and increase space utilization.

[0034] In addition, a reciprocating drive mechanism is provided on the top of the support plate 5. The reciprocating drive mechanism is used to drive the horizontal plate 7 and the feed tube 10 to swing back and forth. The reciprocating drive mechanism includes a motor 12, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 5. A first bevel gear 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor 12. A lead screw 14 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the auger conveyor 2. A second bevel gear 15 is fixedly sleeved on the rod wall of the lead screw 14. The second bevel gear 15 is configured to cooperate with the first bevel gear 13. A drive rack 16 is threadedly sleeved on the rod wall of the lead screw 14. A limit sliding hole 18 is opened inside the support plate 5. A limiting plate 19 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the drive rack 16. The lower end of the limiting plate 19 slides through the limiting slide hole 18. A transmission spur gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 6. The drive rack 16 cooperates with the transmission spur gear 17. The motor 12 rotates back and forth, causing the lead screw 14 to drive the rack 16 to move back and forth linearly. The limiting plate 19 moves in a directional manner in the limiting slide hole 18, ensuring the stability of the drive rack 16's movement. At this time, with the cooperation of the transmission gear 17, the rotating rod 6 drives the horizontal plate 7 to rotate back and forth, causing the feed pipe 10 to swing back and forth, increasing the fuel discharge placement range.

[0035] In a further embodiment, in order to further increase the fuel transmission range of the feed pipe 10, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a worm gear 20 is rotatably inserted inside the horizontal plate 7. A rotating block 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the worm gear 20. A worm wheel 22 is fitted on the wall of the worm gear 20 and is fixedly sleeved with the horizontal bar 9. Through the cooperation of the worm gear 20 and the worm wheel 22, the discharge angle of the feed pipe 10 can be adjusted to further increase the fuel discharge placement range. In use, the rotating block 21 can be manually rotated to adjust the rotation. The rotating block 21 drives the worm gear 20 to rotate. The worm gear 20 and the worm wheel 22 move in coordination. The worm wheel 22 is fixedly sleeved with the horizontal bar 9, so the rotation of the worm gear 20 will drive the worm wheel 22 to rotate, which in turn causes the horizontal bar 9 to rotate. The horizontal bar 9 drives the feed pipe 10 to change the discharge angle. By adjusting the angle of the feed pipe 10 and coordinating its reciprocating swing, the fuel discharge transmission range can be expanded more effectively, allowing the fuel to be distributed more evenly, reducing the situation of excessive accumulation height, and ensuring the safety of fuel transmission.

[0036] Specific working principle: When the thermal power plant needs to transfer fuel, the fuel to be transferred is first put into the discharge hopper 3, the auger conveyor 2 is started, the auger conveyor 2 transports the fuel in the discharge hopper 3 upward, the fuel enters the guide pipe 11 through the discharge pipe 4, then enters the discharge pipe 10 through the guide pipe 11, and finally falls from the discharge pipe 10.

[0037] During this process, to prevent the fuel from piling up too high and collapsing, the motor 12 in the reciprocating drive mechanism is started. The output shaft of the motor 12 drives the first bevel gear 13 to rotate. The first bevel gear 13 meshes with the second bevel gear 15, thereby driving the lead screw 14 to rotate. The lead screw 14 is threaded with a drive rack 16. As the lead screw 14 rotates, the drive rack 16 will move linearly along the length of the lead screw 14. Since the drive rack 16 and the transmission sprocket 17 cooperate with each other, and the transmission sprocket 17 is fixedly sleeved with the rotating rod 6, the motor 1... 2. Reversing the rotation of the screw 14 causes it to rotate in both directions, driving the rack 16 to move back and forth. This drives the transmission gear 17 to rotate in both directions, which in turn causes the rotating rod 6 to rotate back and forth. The rotating rod 6 drives the horizontal plate 7, the support frame 8 fixed on the horizontal plate 7, and the feed pipe 10 to swing back and forth together. This allows the discharge pipe 4 to swing laterally through the guide pipe 11, expanding the fuel feeding range. In addition, turning the rotating block 21 enables the worm gear 20 and the worm wheel 22 to work together, adjusting the angle of the feed pipe 10 and further expanding the feeding range.
