Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing housing technology, and in particular to a sealing bearing housing for a coal unloader spiral body. Background Technology

[0002] During the unloading process of a train screw unloader, due to the unreasonable sealing design of the bearing seats on both sides of the screw and the excessive sealing gap between the outer cover of the bearing seat and the rotating inner cover, a certain amount of dust is generated during unloading. As the inner cover rotates, coal dust and debris enter the bearing seat, causing a large accumulation of coal and debris inside the bearing. This greatly increases the friction between the two bearings during rotation. This friction not only acts on the bearings themselves but also travels along the small chains of arms A and B, the nylon pins of the coupling, and the screw fixing bolts. This forces these rotating and fixed parts to overcome additional resistance during operation, resulting in uneven force distribution during transmission. The tension and torque they bear far exceed the design limits, and prolonged operation will cause the small chains of arms A and B, the nylon pins of the coupling, and the screw fixing bolts to break. Therefore, a new type of sealed bearing seat for the screw of a coal unloader is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealed bearing housing for the spiral body of a coal unloader, which aims to solve the problem that unreasonable sealing design of the bearing housings on both sides of the spiral body leads to coal dust entering the bearing housing during rotation and affecting the rotation of the bearing housing.

[0025] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.

[0026] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a sealing bearing housing for a coal unloader's spiral body, comprising:

[0027] The fixing assembly 1 includes a bearing housing 11 and a fixing flange 12 disposed on the surface of the bearing housing 11; and,

[0028] The dust-blocking assembly 2 includes an upper dust-blocking ring 21, a lower dust-blocking ring 22 connected to the upper dust-blocking ring 21, air inlets 23 disposed on the surfaces of the upper dust-blocking ring 21 and the lower dust-blocking ring 22, a filter column 24 disposed inside the air inlets 23, and a fan plate 25 disposed inside the upper dust-blocking ring 21; and,

[0029] The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating seat 31, a rotating flange 32 disposed at one end of the rotating seat 31, an inner cover 33 disposed on the surface of the rotating seat 31, and an insert ring 34 disposed on the surface of the inner cover 33.

[0030] The upper ash baffle ring 21 and the lower ash baffle ring 22 can rotate with the inner cover 33. The rotating upper ash baffle ring 21 and the lower ash baffle ring 22 generate airflow through the internal fan plate 25, thereby changing the gas flow near the upper ash baffle ring 21 and the lower ash baffle ring 22, blowing away the coal ash and preventing the coal ash from entering between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11.

[0031] Operating Procedure: The bearing housing 11 is fixed to the boom of the coal unloader via the fixed flange 12. The rotating seat 31 is connected to the screw of the coal unloader via the rotating flange 32. When the coal unloader is running normally, the screw drives the rotating seat 31 to rotate via the rotating flange 32. The bearing housing 11, fixed to the boom, does not rotate. The embedded ring 34 rotates relative to the bearing housing 11. Due to the exposed embedded ring 34 between the inner cover 33 and the bearing housing 11, coal ash can easily enter the interior, causing blockage. The upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 are connected to the surface of the inner cover 33. The rotating seat 31 drives the inner cover 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the inner cover 33 drives the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 to rotate. When the upper and lower ash rings 21 and 22 rotate, the fan plate 25 is tilted, causing the airflow to be disturbed outward, which in turn causes the air inside the upper and lower ash rings 21 and 22 to be discharged. A negative pressure is formed inside the upper and lower ash rings 21 and 22, so the external gas enters the upper and lower ash rings 21 and 22 after being filtered by the filter column 24 through the air inlet 23. When the upper and lower ash rings 21 and 22 rotate, the outward airflow blows onto the surface of the fixed flange 12, thereby blowing away the coal ash and preventing the coal ash from entering between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11.

[0032] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the previous embodiment in that it also includes,

[0033] The inner surfaces of the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 are fixed with wrapping plates 26; the wrapping plates 26 can fit against the surface of the bearing seat 11, blocking the embedded ring 34 exposed between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11, and preventing coal ash from entering.

[0034] The fan plate 25 is inclined relative to the upper ash baffle ring 21, and one end of the fan plate 25 is a pointed tip. The fan plate 25 rotates with the upper ash baffle ring 21 and the lower ash baffle ring 22. The inclined fan plate 25 can exhaust the air inside the upper ash baffle ring 21 and the lower ash baffle ring 22, thereby forming a gas circulation channel.

[0035] The air inlet 23 and the upper baffle ring 21 are inclined. When the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 rotate, the direction of the airflow contact with the filter column 24 is perpendicular to the direction of the air inlet 23. This allows most of the gas to flow away along the surface of the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22, while a small portion of the gas enters the interior of the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22. This prevents the gas carrying coal ash from directly impacting the surface of the filter column 24, which would cause the filter column 24 to become clogged quickly.

[0036] The surface of the bearing housing 11 is provided with a guide ring 13; the guide ring 13 is inclined on the side facing the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22. When the fan plate 25 rotates, it generates an outward airflow that blows onto the surface of the fixed flange 12. The airflow blows onto the surface of the guide ring 13 and diffuses outward along the guide ring 13, thereby blowing away the coal ash.

[0037] The surface of the guide ring 13 is provided with a nut groove 14; the nut groove 14 is provided corresponding to the mounting hole on the surface of the fixed flange 12, so that a nut can be placed, thereby enabling the fixed flange 12 to be properly connected with bolts.

[0038] A connecting ring 15 is fixed to one end of the bearing housing 11, and an embedded ring 34 is rotatably connected to the bearing housing 11. The connecting ring 15 can be inserted into the inside of the unloader boom to ensure the stability of the bearing housing 11, and the embedded ring 34 is inserted into the inside of the bearing housing 11 to ensure the stable rotation of the rotating seat 31.

[0039] Usage: Insert the connecting ring 15 into the unloader boom, place the nut in the nut groove 14, and connect it with the nut in the nut groove 14 using bolts, thereby fixing the flange 12 to the unloader boom. The rotating seat 31 is connected to the unloader screw via the rotating flange 32. When the unloader is running normally, the screw drives the rotating seat 31 to rotate via the rotating flange 32. The bearing seat 11 is fixed on the boom and does not rotate. The embedded ring 34 rotates relative to the bearing seat 11. Due to the distance between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11... The exposed embedded ring 34 allows coal ash to easily enter and cause blockage. The upper and lower ash-blocking rings 21 and 22 are connected to the surface of the inner cover 33. The rotating seat 31 drives the inner cover 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper and lower ash-blocking rings 21 and 22 to rotate. The openings of the upper and lower ash-blocking rings 21 and 22 face the fixed flange 12. When the upper and lower ash-blocking rings 21 and 22 rotate, due to the inclined arrangement of the fan plate 25, the fan plate 25 will disturb the airflow outward when it rotates, making the air inside the upper and lower ash-blocking rings 21 and 22 more airy. As the air is discharged, a negative pressure is created inside the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22. External air, filtered by the filter column 24 through the air inlet 23, then enters the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22. Because the air inlet 23 is inclined relative to the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22, when the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22 rotate, the direction of airflow contact with the filter column 24 is perpendicular to the direction of the air inlet 23. This causes most of the air to flow away along the surfaces of the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22, while a small portion of the air enters the upper and lower baffle rings 21 and 22. Inside the lower ash-blocking ring 22, gas carrying coal ash is prevented from directly impacting the surface of the filter column 24, causing the filter column 24 to become clogged quickly. When the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 rotate, they generate an outward airflow that blows onto the surface of the fixed flange 12. The airflow blows onto the surface of the guide ring 13 and diffuses outward along the guide ring 13, thereby blowing away the coal ash. At the same time, the wrapping plate 26 covers the connection between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11. The wrapping plate 26 rotates with the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 to prevent coal ash from entering between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11.

[0040] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the previous embodiment in that it also includes,

[0041] The inner cover 33 has a connecting groove 35 on its surface. The inner surfaces of the upper dust-blocking ring 21 and the lower dust-blocking ring 22 are each provided with a block 27, which engages with the connecting groove 35. The connecting groove 35 and the block 27 allow the upper dust-blocking ring 21 and the lower dust-blocking ring 22 to be removed, facilitating cleaning of their interiors. The connecting groove 35 has a protrusion, and the surface of the block 27 has a corresponding groove. The groove on the surface of the block 27 aligns with the protrusion on the surface of the connecting groove 35, so that when the inner cover 33 rotates, it can stably drive the upper dust-blocking ring 21 and the lower dust-blocking ring 22 to rotate, preventing relative rotation between the inner cover 33 and the upper dust-blocking ring 21 and the lower dust-blocking ring 22.

[0042] Upper fixing plates 29 are fixed on both sides of the upper ash blocking ring 21, and lower fixing plates 28 are fixed on both sides of the lower ash blocking ring 22. Fixing bolts 30 are connected to the surfaces of the lower fixing plates 28 and the upper fixing plates 29. The upper fixing plates and the lower fixing plates 28 are connected by fixing bolts 30, which facilitates the removal of the upper ash blocking ring 21 and the lower ash blocking ring 22. The upper ash blocking ring 21 and the lower ash blocking ring 22 can be separated from each other and removed from the surface of the inner cover 33.

[0043] An elastic pad is provided between the lower fixing plate 28 and the upper fixing plate 29. The elastic pad is located between the lower fixing plate 28 and the upper fixing plate 29. By adjusting the tightening force of the fixing bolt 30, it can be determined whether the upper ash blocking ring 21 and the lower ash blocking ring 22 are fixed stably.

[0044] Usage: Insert the connecting ring 15 into the boom of the coal unloader, place the nut in the nut groove 14, and connect it with the nut in the nut groove 14 using bolts, thereby fixing the flange 12 to the boom of the coal unloader. The rotating seat 31 is connected to the screw of the coal unloader through the rotating flange 32. When the coal unloader is running normally, the screw drives the rotating seat 31 to rotate through the rotating flange 32. The bearing seat 11 is fixed on the boom and does not rotate. The embedded ring 34 rotates relative to the bearing seat 11. Because the embedded ring 34 is exposed between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11, coal ash can easily enter the interior and cause blockage. The upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 are connected. On the surface of the inner cover 33, the rotating seat 31 drives the inner cover 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the inner cover 33 drives the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 to rotate. The openings of the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 face the fixed flange 12. When the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 rotate, due to the inclined setting of the fan plate 25, the fan plate 25 will disturb the airflow outward when it rotates, causing the air inside the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 to be discharged. A negative pressure is formed inside the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22, so the external gas enters the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 after being filtered by the filter column 24 in the air inlet 23. Since the air inlet 23 is relative to the upper baffle ring 21, With the lower baffle ring 22 inclined, when the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 rotate, the direction of the airflow contacting the filter column 24 is perpendicular to the direction of the air inlet 23. This allows most of the gas to flow away along the surface of the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22, while a small portion of the gas enters the interior of the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22. This prevents the gas carrying coal ash from directly impacting the surface of the filter column 24, causing rapid blockage of the filter column 24. When the upper baffle ring 21 and the lower baffle ring 22 rotate, they generate an outward airflow that blows towards the surface of the fixed flange 12. The airflow then reaches the surface of the guide ring 13 and diffuses outward along the guide ring 13, thereby blowing away the coal ash. At the same time, the wrapping plate 26 covers the surface. At the connection between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11, the wrapping plate 26 rotates with the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 to prevent coal ash from entering between the inner cover 33 and the bearing seat 11. When the filter column 24 becomes clogged after long-term use, the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 can be removed by removing the fixing bolts 30, thus facilitating the cleaning of the filter column 24. When installation is required, align the grooves on the surface of the insert 27 of the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 with the protrusions on the surface of the connecting groove 35, place the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 in the connecting groove 35, and then fix the upper ash-blocking ring 21 and the lower ash-blocking ring 22 with the fixing bolts 30.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.
