Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal mining and transmission technology, and in particular relates to a dewatering device for a coal chute system used in mines. Background Technology
[0002] Coal chutes in underground coal mines typically include crushers, multi-stage belt conveyors, and coal bunkers. The raw coal cut by the mining machine is crushed to a set particle size by the crusher and then conveyed by the multi-stage belt conveyor into the coal bunker for temporary storage. The stored raw coal is then transported to the surface via an upward conveyor by opening the gate of the coal bunker. In coal mines with large aquifers, mining activities can cause a large influx of roof water, fissure water, goaf water, and water from the coal seam itself into the coal chutes. Furthermore, the gangue in the raw coal has the characteristic of cementing. When the moisture content of the raw coal exceeds approximately 20%, the coal-water mixture becomes a viscous two-phase fluid, commonly known as "water coal." High water content in water coal leads to increased transportation energy consumption and decreased coal quality. Excessive water can also cause bunker collapse and subsequent production stoppage. Therefore, it is necessary to separate coal and water mixtures. In the existing technology, coal and water are separated by vibrating screens. However, if the screen holes of the vibrating screen are too large, small coal particles and water will be screened out together, which will affect the coal production rate. If the screen holes of the vibrating screen are too small, the screen holes will be frequently blocked and the screening efficiency will be affected. Therefore, the existing technology will result in incomplete separation of coal and water mixtures, which will affect production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the technical problem of difficult coal-water mixture separation in existing coal mining processes by providing a dewatering device for a mine chute system. The device includes several vertically arranged support legs, with a horizontally arranged base beneath each leg. The bottom end of each support leg is fixed to the top of the base, providing support and increasing the stability of the equipment. It also includes a housing mounted above the base, serving a protective function. A vibrating motor is detachably fixed to the housing. A buffer mechanism is provided between the housing and the support legs. The buffer mechanism includes a vertically arranged lower locking post fixed to the top of each support leg, and upper locking posts corresponding to the lower locking posts at the bottom of the housing. A spring is installed between the housing and the support legs, with the upper end of the spring fitted onto the upper locking post and the lower end fitted onto the lower locking post. When the vibrating motor on the housing operates, the housing vibrates under its influence. A feed hopper is located on the top right side of the shell. The coal-water mixture falls into the shell through the feed hopper. Inside the shell, there is a first screen plate. The right end of the first screen plate is located below the feed hopper, and the left end of the first screen plate is inclined towards the lower left of the shell. The left end of the shell has a first discharge port corresponding to the first screen plate. Inside the shell, at the bottom, there is a second screen plate. The left end of the second screen plate is fixed below the left end of the first screen plate. The left side of the second screen plate has a third discharge port, and the right end of the second screen plate is inclined downward. The right side of the second screen plate has a vertically arranged baffle. The shell below the right end of the second screen plate has a second discharge port. The coal-water mixture first falls onto the right end of the first screen plate. Larger coal pieces are screened by the first screen plate, roll down the first screen plate to the left end of the first screen plate, and are discharged from the shell through the first discharge port. Smaller coal pieces and the mixture of water fall through the screen holes on the first screen plate. Between the first and second screen plates, several evenly spaced guide plates are arranged from left to right. The guide plates are detachably fixed to the inner wall of the shell, and the lower end of each guide plate is inclined downward toward the right end of the shell. After being guided by the guide plates, the material falls to the right end of the second screen plate. The second screen plate has a smaller inclination. With the vibration of the vibrating motor, the water in the coal-water mixture on the second screen plate falls through the screen holes of the second screen plate to the bottom of the shell and is discharged through the second discharge port. The coal on the second screen plate moves to the left end of the second screen plate under the repeated pushing of the second screen plate and falls through the third discharge port. The second screen plate is inclined to the lower right of the shell, which increases the time that the coal-water mixture stays on the second screen plate and can more effectively separate the coal-water mixture.
[0004] Preferably, the screening holes on the first screen plate are larger than the screening holes on the second screen plate.
[0005] Preferably, the inclination of the first sieve plate is greater than the inclination of the second sieve plate.
[0006] The above scheme has the following advantages:
[0007] The first screen plate is set at a relatively large inclination, which facilitates the rolling off of larger coal pieces, reduces clogging of the screen holes, and improves screening efficiency. The second screen plate is set at an inclination towards the lower right of the shell, which increases the time the coal-water mixture stays on the second screen plate, enabling more effective separation of the coal-water mixture. The coal guide plate is set to guide the coal-water mixture falling from the screening holes of the first screen plate to the right end of the second screen plate. Attached Figure Description

A vibration motor 22 is detachably fixed to the housing 2. A buffer mechanism 3 is provided between the housing 2 and the support legs 1. The buffer mechanism 3 includes a vertically arranged lower locking post (not shown in the attached drawings) fixed to the top end of each support leg 1, and an upper locking post corresponding to the lower locking post at the bottom end of the housing 2. A spring 31 is provided between the housing 2 and the support legs 1. The upper end of the spring 31 is sleeved on the upper locking post, and the lower end of the spring 31 is sleeved on the lower locking post.

The right end of the second screen plate 5 is inclined downward. A vertically arranged baffle 51 is provided on the right side of the second screen plate 5. A second discharge port 24 is provided on the shell 2 below the right end of the second screen plate 5. The coal-water mixture first falls on the right end of the first screen plate 4. Larger coal pieces are screened by the first screen plate 4 and roll down along the first screen plate 4 to the left end of the first screen plate 4, and are discharged from the shell 2 through the first discharge port 23. Smaller coal pieces and water mixture fall through the screen holes on the first screen plate 4. Between the first screen plate 4 and the second screen plate 5, several guide plates 6 are evenly spaced from left to right. The guide plates 6 are detachably fixed to the inner wall of the housing 2, and the lower end of each guide plate 6 is inclined downward toward the right end of the housing 2. After being guided by the guide plates 6, the material falls to the right end of the second screen plate 5. The inclination of the second screen plate 5 is small. With the vibration of the vibrating motor 22, the water in the coal-water mixture on the second screen plate 5 falls through the screen holes of the second screen plate 5 to the bottom of the housing 2 and is discharged through the second discharge port 24. The coal on the second screen plate 5 moves to the left end of the second screen plate 5 under the repeated pushing of the second screen plate 5 and falls through the third discharge port 25. The second screen plate 5 is inclined toward the lower right of the housing 2, which increases the time that the coal-water mixture stays on the second screen plate 5, and can more effectively separate the coal-water mixture.
[0015] Preferably, the screening holes on the first screen plate 4 are larger than the screening holes on the second screen plate 5.
[0016] Preferably, the inclination of the first sieve plate 4 is greater than the inclination of the second sieve plate 5.
[0017] Usage process:
[0018] In use, the vibrating motor 22 is first started, and then the coal-water mixture is fed into the hopper 21 and falls into the housing 2. The coal-water mixture first falls to the right end of the first screen plate 4. Larger coal pieces are screened by the first screen plate 4 and roll down to the left end of the first screen plate 4, and are discharged from the housing 2 through the first discharge port 23. Smaller coal pieces and water mixture fall through the screen holes on the first screen plate 4. After being guided by the guide plate 6, they fall to the right end of the second screen plate 5. The second screen plate 5 has a smaller inclination. With the vibration of the vibrating motor 22, the water in the coal-water mixture on the second screen plate 5 falls through the screen holes of the second screen plate 5 to the bottom of the housing 2 and is discharged through the second discharge port 24. The coal on the second screen plate 5 moves to the left end of the second screen plate 5 under the repeated pushing of the second screen plate 5 and falls through the third discharge port 25. The second screen plate 5 is inclined to the lower right of the housing 2, which increases the time that the coal-water mixture stays on the second screen plate 5, and can more effectively separate the coal-water mixture.
