Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of underground scraper conveyors in coal mines, specifically relating to a protective loading conveyor ladder trough. Background Technology

[0002] In longwall top-coal caving mining faces, the unloading chute of the transfer conveyor, as a key component connecting the front and rear scraper conveyors and the transfer machine, plays a crucial role in receiving and transferring materials. However, existing ladder-type unloading chute technologies have the following problems: First, due to the dynamic changes in the roof height of the working face, traditional fixed-height ladders cannot be flexibly adjusted, leading to safety hazards for workers climbing them; second, as the working face advances, the position of the scraper conveyor head unloading point relative to the transfer machine constantly changes, and the existing protective baffles lack telescopic adjustment functionality, making it easy for workers to accidentally enter the dangerous area of ​​the unloading chute when operating the transmission device, increasing operational risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of transfer conveyor unloading chute with height-adjustable ladders and telescopic protective baffles to improve the safety and adaptability of the equipment and ensure the operational safety of workers.

There are two types of retractable escalator assemblies 13, which are vertically disposed on two opposite sides of the escalator fixing frame 12 respectively.

[0027] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the hollow steel pipe frame 131 is fixedly mounted on the escalator fixing frame 12. The handrail steel pipe 132 is sleeved inside the hollow steel pipe frame 131 and slidably connected to it. The connecting plate 133 is fixedly mounted on the handrail steel pipe 132.
