Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grate cooler technology, specifically to an easy-to-disassemble grate cooler grate. Background Technology
[0002] The grate plate of the grate cooler is one of the components of the grate cooler in the cement clinker production line. As the "bearing surface" of clinker, it supports the high-temperature clinker discharged from the rotary kiln and conveys the clinker from the inlet to the outlet through the reciprocating motion of the grate plate to complete the cooling process.
[0003] Traditionally, the grates of a grate cooler are often fixed together with screws. While this can save assembly time to some extent, the disassembly process is quite complicated. Some grate coolers connect the grates with a flexible feeding structure with levers. The levers protruding from the top of the grate are prone to breakage, which increases the difficulty of disassembling the grate later. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an easy-to-disassemble grate plate for a grate cooler.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easily detachable grate cooler grate, comprising a grate body, an assembly assembly, and connecting seats. The connecting seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the grate body. The other end of the grate body is also provided with an assembly assembly adapted to the corresponding two sets of connecting seats. The assembly assembly includes a plug, a worm gear, a worm wheel, a screw, and a fixing block. The other end of the grate body is provided with the plug, which is positioned between the two sets of connecting seats. The plug also contains a movable groove. The insert block has symmetrically arranged storage slots on its left and right sides. A worm gear and a worm are arranged in the movable slot, and the worm gear and the worm are meshed. Screws extending into the storage slots are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the worm gear. A fixing block is also arranged in the storage slot. One end of the fixing block is threaded to the screw. The two sets of connecting seats also have fixing slots on their adjacent sides that are adapted to the other end of the fixing block. The insert block has a countersunk groove, and a handle is arranged in the countersunk groove. The worm passes through the countersunk groove and is connected to the handle.
[0008] To facilitate understanding of the drive angle of the handle, this utility model is improved by adding a positioning block to the handle.
[0009] To facilitate cleaning of the countersunk groove, this utility model is improved by providing a cleaning groove connected to the countersunk groove at the end of the insert block away from the grate body.
[0010] To ensure stable assembly between the various grate bodies, this utility model is improved by providing a sealing plate on the insert block to close the countersunk groove, a groove adapted to the positioning block below the sealing plate, and a protrusion adapted to the cleaning groove below the sealing plate.
[0011] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the connecting seat, the grate body, the insert block, and the sealing plate are flush.
[0012] Preferably, the insert block is further provided with an unlocking groove, and a crossbeam is provided inside the unlocking groove.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an easy-to-disassemble grate plate for a grate cooler, which has the following characteristics:
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] This easily detachable grate cooler grate plate assembly is achieved by rotating a worm gear and worm wheel via a handle, which in turn drives a screw to push a fixing block out and insert it into the fixing slot of the connecting seat to lock it in place. Reversing the handle retracts the fixing block, unlocking the assembly. Compared to traditional screw fixing, this eliminates the need to disassemble each bolt individually.
[0017] Furthermore, the drive structure is concealed within the insert block, avoiding the problem of the protruding lever being easily broken and solving the pain point of difficult disassembly between the grate plates. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A disassembleable grate cooler grate includes a grate body 1, an assembly assembly, and connecting seats 2. The connecting seats 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the grate body 1. The other end of the grate body 1 is also provided with an assembly assembly adapted to the corresponding two sets of connecting seats 2. The assembly assembly includes a plug 3, a worm gear 4, a worm wheel 5, a screw 6, and a fixing block 7. The plug 3 is located at the other end of the grate body 1 and is positioned between the two sets of connecting seats 2. The plug 3 also has a movable groove within it. The plug 3 is symmetrically arranged on its left and right sides. The device has a storage slot, in which a worm gear 5 and a worm 4 are installed. The worm gear 5 and the worm 4 mesh with each other. Screws 6 extending into the storage slot are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the worm gear 5. A fixing block 7 is also provided in the storage slot. One end of the fixing block 7 is threadedly connected to the screw 6. The two sets of connecting seats 2 are also provided with fixing slots that are adapted to the other end of the fixing block 7 on their adjacent sides. A countersunk groove 8 is provided on the insert block 3. A handle 9 is provided in the countersunk groove 8. The worm 4 passes through the countersunk groove 8 and is connected to the handle 9.
[0025] The grate body 1 has symmetrical connecting seats 2 on both sides at one end and insert blocks 3 at the other end. The width of the insert blocks 3 is perfectly matched with the spacing between the two sets of connecting seats 2. During assembly, the insert blocks 3 are inserted between the two sets of connecting seats 2 of adjacent grates to form a lateral constraint, ensuring that the splicing edges of the two grates are aligned, and that the upper surfaces of the connecting seats 2, the grate body 1, and the insert blocks 3 remain flush, thus preventing the clinker from being jammed due to protrusions during conveying.
[0026] After the insert block 3 is inserted into the connector 2, the operator rotates the handle 9 in the countersunk groove 8 (the handle 9 is fixed to the top of the worm 4). The worm 4 rotates with the handle 9 and drives the worm wheel 5 in the movable groove to rotate (the worm wheel 5 meshes with the worm 4).
[0027] The screws 6 on both sides of the worm gear 5 rotate synchronously with the worm gear 5. Since the fixing block 7 is threadedly connected to the screw 6 and cannot rotate due to the restriction of the receiving groove, the fixing block 7 extends horizontally outward along the receiving groove and finally inserts into the fixing groove on the side of the connecting seat 2, forming a double locking of "the horizontal positioning of the insert block 3 + the longitudinal locking of the fixing block 7", ensuring that the grate does not loosen under reciprocating motion and high temperature clinker impact;
[0028] During disassembly, turn handle 9 in the opposite direction. The worm 4 drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate in the opposite direction. The screw 6 drives the fixing block 7 to retract into the storage groove, disengage from the fixing groove of the connecting seat 2, and release the lock.
[0029] At this point, the constraint between the insert block 3 and the connecting seat 2 disappears, and the insert block 3 can be directly pulled out from between the two sets of connecting seats 2 to complete the disassembly of a single grate plate without removing any bolts or dealing with easily broken parts.
[0030] The positioning block 10 on the handle 9 can indicate the rotation angle. The operator can determine the locking state by observing the position of the positioning block 10, avoiding excessive rotation that could cause wear on the parts. The end of the insert block 3 away from the grate body 1 is also provided with a cleaning groove 12 connected to the countersunk groove 8. The insert block 3 is also provided with a sealing plate 11 that closes the countersunk groove 8. The bottom of the sealing plate 11 is provided with a groove that matches the positioning block 10. The bottom of the sealing plate 11 is also provided with a protrusion 13 that matches the cleaning groove 12. When the fixing block 7 is fully inserted into the fixing groove, the handle 9 cannot be rotated. At this time, the groove under the sealing plate 11 can be inserted into the positioning block 10, so that the sealing plate 11 is fully inserted into the countersunk groove 8 and the protrusion 13 is fully inserted into the cleaning groove 12. When the fixing block 7 is in the fully retracted state, the positioning block 10 and the groove on the sealing plate 11 inserted into the countersunk groove 8 are misaligned, and the insert block 3 cannot be fully embedded in the countersunk groove 8.
[0031] The cleaning tank 12 is connected to the countersunk tank 8, and the accumulated dust and clinker debris in the tank can be quickly removed by a high-pressure air gun or brush, so as to avoid impurities causing transmission jamming and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0032] In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the connecting seat 2, the grate body 1, the insert block 3, and the closing plate 11 are flush, which does not affect the clinker conveying.
[0033] In actual use, the insert 3 is also provided with an unlocking groove, and a crossbeam 14 is also provided in the unlocking groove. The insert 3 with the protrusion 13 can be lifted through the crossbeam 14.
