Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a suction unit, and more particularly to a bidirectional single-pass suction unit for a coal cleaning device after unloading from an open wagon. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, coal transportation via open wagons or containers is the industry's primary mode of transport. Upon arrival at the destination, coal is typically unloaded using tippers. However, due to limitations in the unloading principle of existing tippers, a significant amount of coal remains on the edges and bottom of the wagons. This coal adheres to the wagons and is difficult to remove. Currently, the coal is often swept off the open wagons or containers after unloading using methods such as manual cleaning, air blowing, water flushing, or residual coal sweeping devices. The coal is then removed from the wagons manually or using bulk material suction devices.
[0003] Existing bulk material collection devices typically include a suction nozzle, a blower, a filter, and a hopper. The blower creates negative pressure in the suction nozzle, drawing coal into it. The coal then passes through the air duct into the filter, which filters out coal chunks and powder before feeding it into the hopper. Manual cleaning, on the other hand, requires personnel to enter the truck bed and use shovels and brooms to remove the coal from the side door of the truck bed.
[0004] Although both of these cleaning methods can effectively remove residual coal from the car, they still have the following drawbacks:
[0005] 1. Bulk material suction devices that rely solely on negative pressure are unable to suck up large coal chunks.
[0006] 2. The cleaning of residual coal often requires multiple back-and-forth movements within the car body. Each time, the bulk material suction device needs to be turned around, which increases the number of steps involved in cleaning residual coal and reduces work efficiency.
[0007] 3. Manual cleaning is not only labor-intensive, but also has a poor working environment. Because containers are relatively sealed, cleaning inside containers may also cause safety accidents due to the harsh working environment.
[0008] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of this application and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to pick up large coal blocks, low work efficiency, and high safety risks. It provides a bidirectional single-pass suction unit for cleaning up residual coal after unloading from open wagons, which can pick up large coal blocks, has high work efficiency, and low safety risks.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is:
[0011] A bidirectional single-pass suction unit for a coal cleaning device after unloading from an open wagon, the suction unit comprising: two suction nozzles and a discharge pipe;
[0012] Both suction nozzles are funnel-shaped structures and are mirror-symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the discharge pipe. The inlets of both suction nozzles are inclined downwards, and the outlets of both suction nozzles are connected to each other as a single structure. The outlets of both suction nozzles are connected to the inlets of the discharge pipe, and the outlet of the discharge pipe is connected to the air inlet of the exhaust fan.
[0013] The suction unit also includes a reversing device, which includes a baffle and a driving mechanism. The baffle is correspondingly arranged with the discharge port of the suction nozzle, and the outer edge of the baffle is sealed to the discharge port of the suction nozzle. The driving mechanism is fixedly mounted on the residual coal cleaning device, and the power output end of the driving mechanism is driven by the baffle.
[0014] The tops of the two suction nozzles are fixedly connected to the discharge pipe, the bottoms of the two suction nozzles are connected by a connecting plate, the sidewalls of the two suction nozzles are an integral structure, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle, the two ends of the rotating shaft pass through the discharge pipe and are limited to the discharge pipe, and the baffle is rotatably engaged with the sidewall of the discharge pipe through the rotating shaft installed on it.
[0015] The reversing device also includes a rocker arm, and the driving mechanism is an electric push rod. One end of the rocker arm is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft, and the push rod of the driving mechanism is hinged to the other end of the rocker arm.
[0016] The angle between the two suction nozzles and the ground is 30 to 60 degrees.
[0017] The feed inlet of the nozzle is elongated, with the length of the feed inlet being greater than the length of the discharge outlet, and the width of the feed inlet being less than the width of the discharge outlet.
[0018] A rubber baffle is fixedly installed on the feed inlet of the suction nozzle. The rubber baffle is located on the side of the feed inlet of the suction nozzle near the reversing device. The top of the rubber baffle is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the feed inlet of the suction nozzle, and the bottom of the rubber baffle is in contact with the bottom surface of the carriage.
[0019] The top of the discharge pipe is provided with a connecting flange, which is fixedly connected to the air inlet duct of the exhaust fan.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] 1. In the bidirectional single-pass suction unit of the open wagon coal cleaning device after unloading, there is a certain angle between the suction nozzle and the ground, allowing the nozzle to scoop up coal from the bottom of the wagon as it moves. Therefore, this design can effectively improve the coal cleaning effect by scooping up coal from the bottom of the wagon.
[0022] 2. This utility model discloses a bidirectional single-pass suction unit for a coal cleaning device after unloading from an open wagon. The unit includes two suction nozzles symmetrically arranged on both sides of the collection hopper. During use, the two nozzles are positioned near the front and rear sides of the wagon, respectively. When the coal cleaning device reciprocates to clean the wagon, the nozzles do not need to be turned around, reducing the number of steps. Therefore, this design reduces the number of steps required for coal cleaning through symmetrically arranged suction nozzles, effectively improving work efficiency.
[0023] 3. The bidirectional single-pass suction unit of this utility model for cleaning residual coal after unloading from open wagons also includes a reversing device. A baffle is sealed to the outlet of each of the two suction nozzles. By controlling the movement of the baffle through a drive mechanism, one of the suction nozzles can be sealed, thereby increasing the air pressure at the other nozzle and improving the efficiency of residual coal cleaning. Therefore, this design can effectively improve the efficiency of residual coal cleaning by sealing one suction nozzle with the reversing device and increasing the air pressure at the other nozzle.
[0024] 4. In the bidirectional single-pass suction unit of the open wagon unloading residual coal cleaning device of this utility model, a rubber baffle is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the suction nozzle inlet near the reversing device. The rubber baffle can scoop up coal and block the collection of coal that is not sucked up in time, thus extending the time that the coal is subjected to negative pressure wind force. Therefore, this design can effectively improve the coal collection rate by using the rubber baffle to scoop up coal and block the collection of coal that is not sucked up in time.
