Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric trolley technology, specifically a mine bin with fabric trolley positioning function. Background Technology
[0002] The material distribution trolley is an important piece of equipment in the intermediate silo distribution stage of a mineral processing plant. Its function is to distribute the ore into the corresponding silos according to the needs of subsequent operations. Currently, most material distribution trolleys are controlled by operators on-site, who move the trolley back and forth according to the needs and the ore conditions in the silos. In dusty environments, this is not conducive to operators observing the silo levels and has a certain impact on the health of the operators. In actual ore distribution work, workers control the movement of the material distribution trolley on the upper surface of the silo and use a material trolley to unload the silo.
[0003] Currently, the material placing trolley moves on a set track, which is equipped with a motor, drive rollers and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt passes through two drive rollers inside the material placing trolley to facilitate the transport of materials. The material placing trolley is generally operated manually through a control terminal. However, manual control can easily cause the material placing trolley to misalign with the material bins inside the ore bin, resulting in inaccurate unloading positions. Utility Model Content

The support rollers 19 are arranged in an arc. The lower end of the conveyor belt 18 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support rollers 19. A set of pressure rollers 20 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The outer wall of the set of pressure rollers 20 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the conveyor belt 18.
[0032] The bottom sides of the frame 1 are respectively rotatably mounted with connecting shafts via bearing seats 10. Wheel sets 11 are mounted on both ends of the connecting shafts. A driven gear 12 is fixed on one of the connecting shafts. A stepper motor 16 is fixed on the fixing plate 14. A drive gear 13 is fixed on the output shaft of the stepper motor 16, and the drive gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 12.
[0033] In the technical solution of this utility model, when the frame 1 moves along the track inside the ore bin, when the frame 1 moves to the side of the hopper 2, the limiting rod 9 limits the swing rod 8. With the cooperation of the rotating block 6 and the torsion spring 5, the rotating block 6 drives the knob end of the knob switch seat 4 to rotate, and then the frame 1 stops at the opening of the hopper 2, which facilitates the accurate feeding of materials.
[0034] In addition, the frame 1 can provide rotational support for the conveyor roller 17, and the conveyor roller 17 can guide the conveyor belt 18. The frame 1 can fix the support roller 19, and the support roller 19 can support the conveyor belt 18. The support roller 19 is arc-shaped to facilitate the conveying of materials above the conveyor belt 18. The frame 1 can provide rotational support for the pressure roller 20, and the pressure roller 20 can limit the movement of the conveyor belt 18 at the inlet end of the frame 1.

[0036] In the technical solution of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a U-shaped frame 22 is fixed to the upper end of the frame 1. The U-shaped frame 22 is set at an angle. A camera 21 is installed on the upper end of the U-shaped frame 22. The camera end of the camera 21 corresponds to the position of the conveyor belt 18.

The U-shaped frame 22 can fix the supplementary light 23, and the supplementary light 23 can provide supplementary lighting above the conveyor belt 18.
[0037] In the technical solution of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveying shell 3 is installed on the outer wall of the frame 1 away from the fixed plate 14. The output end of the conveying shell 3 corresponds to the position of the hopper 2. One of the conveying rollers 17 is located above the conveying shell 3. The frame 1 can fix the conveying shell 3, and the conveying shell 3 can transport the material into the hopper 2.
[0038] In use, the stepper motor 16 drives the drive gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 12 to rotate. The driven gear 12 then drives one of the wheels to rotate, which, in conjunction with the other wheel set 11, moves the frame 1 along the track inside the ore bin. When the frame 1 moves to the side of the hopper 2, the limit rod 9 limits the swing rod 8. With the cooperation of the rotating block 6 and the torsion spring 5, the rotating block 6 drives the knob end of the rotary switch seat 4 to rotate. When the knob end of the rotary switch seat 4 rotates to its limit, the rotary switch seat 4 opens, and the swing rod 8 moves away from the limit rod. 9. The rotary switch base 4 is used to control the stepper motor 16 to turn on and off, thereby stopping the stepper motor 16. This facilitates the positioning of the frame 1 at the opening of the hopper 2, enabling precise material feeding. The drive motor and transmission rollers inside the external equipment track run, allowing the conveyor belt 18 to run. The material is then transported along the conveyor belt 18 into the conveyor shell 3 and falls into the grain bin. When the camera 21 detects that the material conveying on the conveyor belt 18 has ended, it can operate the stepper motor 16 to continue running to the next batch of hopper 2 via the PLC control terminal 15.
