[0026] This utility model provides an embodiment:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a pneumatically operated retractable rotating safety door for underground coal mines includes a control box and two sets of door assemblies. The control box is located on the coal wall inside the material yard and includes a control button and a pneumatic valve. The control button controls the valve core of the pneumatic valve to switch directions. Both the control button and the pneumatic valve are connected to an underground air source. The two sets of door assemblies are respectively located on the left and right coal walls at the entrance of the material yard. Each door assembly includes a telescopic door 1, a rotating door 2, a telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3, and a rotating pneumatic cylinder 4. The rotating door 2 is rotatably connected to the coal wall via a heavy-duty hinge 5 and is driven by the rotating pneumatic cylinder 4. The telescopic door 1 is slidably connected within the interlayer of the rotating door 2 and is driven by the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3. When the rotating door 2 rotates to an angle of 90 degrees with the coal wall and both telescopic doors 1 are fully extended, the door assembly completes the closure of the material yard entrance. The pneumatic valve is connected to the corresponding telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 or rotating pneumatic cylinder 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control button is a two-position two-way valve, and the pneumatic valve is a two-position five-way valve. Specifically, the control button is a push-button valve structure, including a first control button 6.1, a second control button 6.2, a third control button 6.3, and a fourth control button 6.4. The pneumatic valve includes a first pneumatic valve 7.1 and a second pneumatic valve 7.2. The air inlet ends of the first control button 6.1, the second control button 6.2, the third control button 6.3, and the fourth control button 6.4 are all connected to a downhole gas source.

[0029] The outlets of the first control button 6.1 and the second control button 6.2 are respectively connected to the control terminals on both sides of the first pneumatic valve 7.1. The inlet of the first pneumatic valve 7.1 is connected to the downhole gas source. The working port A of the first pneumatic valve 7.1 is connected to the rod chamber of the two rotary pneumatic cylinders 4, and the working port B of the first pneumatic valve 7.1 is connected to the rodless chamber of the two rotary pneumatic cylinders 4. The outlets of the third control button 6.3 and the fourth control button 6.4 are respectively connected to the control terminals on both sides of the second pneumatic valve 7.2. The inlet of the second pneumatic valve 7.2 is connected to the downhole gas source. The working port A of the second pneumatic valve 7.2 is connected to the rod chamber of the two telescopic pneumatic cylinders 3, and the working port B of the second pneumatic valve 7.2 is connected to the rodless chamber of the two telescopic pneumatic cylinders 3.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] When connecting to the underground gas source, and when ordinary vehicles enter or exit:

[0032] The internal air passage of the third control button 6.3 is disconnected from the air source, while the internal air passage of the fourth control button 6.4 is connected to the air source. The valve core of the second pneumatic valve 7.2 is in the right position. High-pressure gas enters the rod chamber of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 through the second pneumatic valve 7.2, controlling the piston rod of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 to retract. In turn, the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 drives the telescopic gate 1 to retract, realizing the partial opening of the material yard entrance to meet the entry and exit of ordinary vehicles.

[0033] When oversized vehicles enter or exit:

[0034] The internal air passage of the first control button 6.1 is connected to the air source, while the internal air passage of the second control button 6.2 is disconnected from the air source. The valve core of the first pneumatic valve 7.1 is in the left position. High-pressure gas enters the rodless chamber of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 through the first pneumatic valve 7.1, controlling the piston rod of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 to extend. In turn, the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 drives the rotating door to rotate and open, realizing the full opening of the material yard entrance and meeting the needs of extra-wide vehicles to enter and exit.

[0035] After vehicles have finished entering and exiting, the internal air passage of the first control button 6.1 is disconnected from the air source, while the internal air passage of the second control button 6.2 is connected to the air source. The valve core of the first pneumatic valve 7.1 is in the right position, and high-pressure gas enters the rod chamber of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 through the first pneumatic valve 7.1, controlling the piston rod of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 to retract, thereby causing the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 to rotate and retract. At the same time, the internal air passage of the third control button 6.3 is connected to the air source, while the internal air passage of the fourth control button 6.4 is disconnected from the air source. The valve core of the second pneumatic valve 7.2 is in the left position, and high-pressure gas enters the rodless chamber of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 through the second pneumatic valve 7.2, controlling the piston rod of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 to extend, thereby causing the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 to extend the telescopic gate 1, achieving complete closure of the material yard entrance.

[0036] The tail of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the coal wall via the cylinder mounting seat 8, and the piston rod of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating door 2. A rotating ring is provided at the front end of the piston rod of the rotary pneumatic cylinder 4, and a plate-like structure with a column is provided at the upper end of the rotating door near the coal wall, with the rotating ring rotatably connected to the column. The telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 is installed on the mounting frame on the upper part of the interlayer of the rotating door 2 via the cylinder fixing clip 9, and the piston rod of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder 3 is fixed to the upper end of the telescopic door on the side away from the coal wall via the cylinder connecting clip 10.

[0037] The upper end of the telescopic gate 1 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting plate 11. The lower end of the mounting bracket on the upper part of the revolving door 2 is provided with a limiting groove 12 corresponding to the position of the limiting plate. The limiting plate 11 and the limiting groove 12 are matched to prevent the telescopic gate 1 from shaking. The lower end of the telescopic gate 1 is provided with a V-shaped right angle steel 13. The bottom of the revolving door 2 is rotatably connected to a V-shaped pulley 14 corresponding to the position of the V-shaped right angle steel 13. The V-shaped right angle steel 13 and the V-shaped pulley 14 are matched to prevent the telescopic gate 1 from shaking.

[0038] This device uses pneumatic control, which is simpler and easier to maintain than electrical control. At the same time, the door assembly adopts a one-way authorized control design, which can only be controlled by personnel inside the material yard. This ensures that when vehicles are running in the material yard, outsiders cannot enter at will, thus effectively playing a safety and security role.

[0039] The door assembly is designed to be adjustable in size. For everyday vehicle access, the retractable gate opens to allow general materials to pass through. For extra-wide items, the entire gate opens to ensure unimpeded passage. After installation, the safety door should replace the personnel currently assigned to guard the area, achieving a reduction in manpower and increased efficiency.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
