[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0018] See Figure 1-2 A remotely operable intelligent clinker conveyor includes a head drive unit 1, a curved section 10, a feeding section 9, and a tail rotating shaft device 6. An upper slide rail 2 and a lower slide rail 3 are provided on the support between the head drive unit 1 and the tail rotating shaft device 6. Chains 7 are installed on the upper slide rail 2 and the lower slide rail 3 via rollers. An extension device 5 is provided at the tail rotating shaft device 6. Monitors are provided at the head drive unit 1, the curved section 10, the feeding section 9, and the tail rotating shaft device 6. The monitors are communicatively connected to the main control cabinet. During operation, the main unit transports the calcined cement clinker to the clinker silo. During operation, monitors collect vibration and temperature parameters of the motor in the head drive unit 1, as well as the temperature of the head bearing. The unit also monitors the chain 7 for abnormalities such as breakage or loosening by collecting the rotational speed data of the tail shaft at the tail shaft device 6. The installation of chain 7 is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. Simultaneously, monitors at the feeding section 9 and the curved section 10, i.e., photoelectric switches, monitor for material leakage and accumulation during operation. These monitors can be any existing process visualization configuration tool, such as limit switches, temperature sensors, photoelectric switches, and laser displacement sensors, but are not limited to these. Finally, the monitors collect and summarize the monitored data to the electrical control cabinet, enabling communication with the field control system. With control docking and data cloud uploading functions, the electrical control cabinet will perform big data analysis on the collected operating data. Based on the construction of basic equipment ledgers and archive information, a complete equipment operation and maintenance management system will be built. Industrial network technology will be used to realize equipment inspection and spot checks, and problems in the equipment operation process will be detected in a timely manner. Based on edge computing, cloud computing, and data analysis, combined with equipment anomaly models, expert knowledge models, and equipment mechanism models, the product operation trend will be analyzed, and finally, the remote operation and maintenance function of clinker conveyor will be realized. The above analysis methods and related equipment are all implemented with existing technologies, and will not be elaborated on here. Operation and management personnel can observe various indicators on the production site in real time through the system simulation diagram. They can intuitively, timely, and conveniently monitor the operating status of all equipment, realize the collection of key product data and status analysis and prediction, and achieve remote operation and maintenance.
[0019] In some embodiments, laser displacement sensors are installed on both sides of the main body. These sensors can monitor the deformation of the hopper conveying materials via the chain 7. Laser displacement sensors are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0020] In some embodiments, a safety net 4 is provided on the main body. The safety net 4 can prevent personnel from accidentally touching the main body, and at the same time block materials from splashing or scattering, ensuring the safety of the operation.
[0021] In some embodiments, a lubrication device 8 is provided on the main body. Operators can add lubricating oil to the rollers driving the chain 7 via the lubrication device 8, thereby maintaining the rollers and ensuring the operation of the chain 7. In some embodiments, the extension device 5 includes a screw 51, a slide rail 53 is provided on the bracket at the tail shaft device 6, a moving block 52 is slidably connected to the slide rail 53, the moving block 52 is connected to the screw 51, the screw 51 is rotatably connected to the bracket at the tail shaft device 6, and the moving block 52 is connected to the shaft in the tail shaft device 6. When the monitor detects a slack in the conveyor chain 7, the operator receives an alert from the control cabinet, then goes to the main body and rotates the screw 51 on the extension device 5, causing the screw 51 to push the shaft in the tail shaft device 6 to move on the slide rail 53, thereby tightening the chain and ensuring the normal operation of the chain 7. This provides emergency safety without requiring immediate shutdown of the main body for repairs, ensuring the safe transport of materials.
[0022] In some embodiments, travel limit switches and laser displacement sensors are installed on the upper slide rail 2 and the lower slide rail 3. The travel limit switches and laser displacement sensors can monitor whether the rollers are derailed, misaligned, or experiencing wear on the rollers and the upper and lower slide rails 2 and 3. The collected data is transmitted in real time to the electrical control cabinet for analysis and processing. The electrical control cabinet then responds, allowing operators to perform timely maintenance.
[0023] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
