Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ring feeder accessories, and in particular to a ring feeder vehicle body self-guiding and self-aligning device. Background Technology

[0002] A ring feeder is a large-scale coal feeding device specifically designed for use in medium and large-sized thermal power plants. It typically includes a silo, a plow car, a feed car, and an unloading plow. The silo stores large quantities of coal and has an annular slit at the bottom. Both the plow car and the feed car have annular bodies and are equipped with independent drives and positioning. The plow car is located at the annular slit and is equipped with circumferentially distributed plow claws. The plow claws extend into the annular slit and plow off the coal that falls into it. The feed car rotates in the opposite direction to the plow car and is positioned below it; the plowed coal falls onto the feed car. The unloading plow is located at the unloading point, spanning the feed car, and plows the coal from the feed car to the unloading point. See the patent for a ring feeder with authorization announcement number CN2044247U. The annular body is supported on a circular track by wheels and uses guide wheels for horizontal stops. The wheels and guide wheels are used together and are usually installed together. This ensures that the annular car body with wheels and guide wheels is concentric with the annular track; however, the annular car body without guide wheels is difficult to concentric with the annular track, which can easily lead to coal leakage.
