Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel tunneling and transportation system. Background Technology

[0002] During tunneling by a roadheader, the excavated coal is transferred to a belt conveyor via a bridge transfer machine. The coal flow output from the bridge transfer machine falls directly onto the belt conveyor belt. During transport, the buffer rollers are easily damaged, causing coal dust to fly and coal and gangue to spill from the belt, requiring laborious cleanup by maintenance personnel, causing unnecessary trouble, and even production stoppages. The removal of gangue and other debris causes significant damage to the equipment. The original coal retaining plate device is easily damaged and does not provide the intended coal receiving effect; it also easily damages the conveyor belt. Furthermore, the coal dust generated during gangue removal poses a risk to worker safety, and the ventilation and fire prevention systems are difficult to manage, seriously impacting actual production.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN2877997Y, published on February 12, 2014, discloses a movable buffer bed. This movable buffer bed includes a buffer bed frame, which is composed of legs, crossbeams, and longitudinal beams. It also includes a scoop-shaped buffer bed body, which is inclined and fixed to the buffer bed frame; casters are provided below the legs.

[0004] The moving buffer bed is positioned between the unloading end of the bridge transfer conveyor and the belt conveyor, effectively buffering the impact of falling coal on the belt conveyor. The moving buffer bed only moves when the roadheader shifts forward or backward. During tunneling, coal flow sometimes accumulates on the moving buffer bed, especially when the roadheader is stationary. In severe cases, coal flow may overflow, obstructing coal output and polluting the site environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a new type of tunneling and transportation system.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this novel tunneling and transfer system includes a bridge-type transfer machine, a belt conveyor, and a remote control unit. A coal receiving mechanism is provided between the two. The coal receiving mechanism includes a movable gantry frame, two side baffles, and an inclined baffle. The movable gantry frame includes a crossbeam and side columns connected to the lower ends of the crossbeam. Rollers are provided at the lower ends of the side columns, which are movably mounted on the load-bearing section frame of the belt conveyor. Longitudinal connecting rods are fixed to the two side columns respectively. The side baffles and inclined baffles are directly or indirectly fixed to adjacent longitudinal connecting rods, forming a coal receiving trough between the side baffles and inclined baffles. The remote control unit includes a PLC controller, a display screen, and operation buttons. The operation buttons communicate with the PLC controller. The input terminal is connected, and the display screen is connected to the signal output terminal of the PLC controller. The mobile gantry includes an upstream mobile gantry and a downstream mobile gantry. The two ends of the longitudinal connecting rod are respectively fixed to the side columns on the same side of the upstream and downstream mobile gantry. A column is provided on the crossbeam of the upstream mobile gantry. A tripod is provided below the unloading end frame of the bridge-type transfer machine. A pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic cylinder is provided between the column and the tripod. The pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic cylinder is connected to a high-pressure air supply pipe underground via a solenoid valve group. A camera and / or a coal pile sensor are provided above the coal receiving trough. The camera and / or the coal pile sensor are connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC controller.

[0007] The extension stroke of the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic cylinder does not need to be too large, about 200 cm is sufficient.

[0008] With this design, when staff detect coal accumulation on the coal receiving mechanism via camera or coal accumulation sensor, they can activate the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic cylinder to extend or retract once or multiple times via an operation button. This causes the coal receiving mechanism to move back and forth along the load-bearing section of the belt conveyor once or multiple times, loosening the coal pile and allowing it to fall onto the upper belt of the belt conveyor, where it will be quickly carried away, thus eliminating the coal pile.

[0009] As an optimization, a scoop-shaped receiving plate is also provided above the upstream end of the coal receiving trough, and the lower edge of the scoop-shaped receiving plate has an arc-shaped notch. With this design, more coal flow can fall into the middle area of ​​the upper belt of the belt conveyor.

[0010] As an optimization, multiple chains are suspended from the crossbeams of the upstream moving gantry. This design effectively prevents gangue and coal chunks falling with the coal flow from landing below the unloading end of the bridge transfer machine.

[0011] This new tunneling and transfer system can eliminate coal pile-up using only telescopic pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic cylinders. It has a simple structure, is easy to use, and is suitable for use in underground coal mines. Attached Figure Description
